Bari Bari no Mi

The Bari Bari no Mi is a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows the user to generate barriers for defending or striking at will, turning the user into a Barrier Human (バリア人間). Bari comes from baria, the Japanese way of pronouncing the word "barrier". It was eaten by Bartolomeo.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The main strength of this fruit is that it allows the user to form invisible barriers, though they can be solidified to become visibly transparent. This protects the user from frontal assaults. The barriers are strong enough to defend against even a fishman's high-powered punch, which injured the said fishman's arm in return. Even the shock wave produced from Elizabello II's punch, which could allegedly take down an entire fortress, could not breach the shield, nor the area behind it. The shield can also be used for offensive purposes, launching forward to create powerful forces to strike the targets.

It is unknown if the barriers have a damage limit, but it appears to only react so far to striking motions as Bellamy was able to touch Bartolomeo with an outstretched hand, rather than a punch. Also, it shares the same weaknesses as all other Devil Fruits.

Usage
Bartolomeo basically uses this fruit's power to protect himself in combat, sitting idly by while his unsuspecting foes attack him and injure themselves. He can also use the shields offensively to strike down his targets.

Attack List

 * Barrier Crash (バリアクラッシュ): Bartolomeo forms a transparent barrier in front of himself and sends it towards enemy so fast it crushes his enemy easily. The crush is powerful enough to defeat Elizabello II and create a shock wave. It was first shown against Elizabello in Corrida Colosseum. He showed what appears to be a variation of this technique earlier, kicking Hack with an invisible force boosting the strike.
