Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi

The Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a hybrid and full version of the Yamata no Orochi, an eight-headed snake.

It was eaten by Kurozumi Orochi, but with his death, the fruit has returned into circulation.

Etymology

 * Hebi (蛇) is Japanese for "snake".
 * "Yamata no Orochi" is a Japanese 8-headed mythological snake, the name meaning "eight-branch giant snake".

Appearance
The fruit seems to have the scaled features and shape of a pineapple. There are at least 6 stem leaves on top of the fruit with round triangular shape on each end. The scale-like sections of the fruit have the typical swirls found on Devil Fruits.

Strengths and Weaknesses


This fruit grants the user eight separate, extremely long-necked heads, each one capable of speech on their own. It appears that the user has some degree of control about the number of heads that can sprout at once, with eight being the maximum limit. Curiously, some of Orochi's human form features, such as his crown and mustache, are present only in one of the heads. In this form, Orochi was able to easily lift Komurasaki with one of his snake heads.



In this form, the user is able to bite multiple opponents with a considerable amount of strength and range, the latter due to the elongated necks. The user also has incredible amount of durability in their transformed state, with Orochi being capable of sustaining damage from a ceiling collapsing on his head with few repercussions, as well as surviving by a Zeus-enhanced lightning bolt. The fruit has no known weaknesses aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Orochi used this fruit in combat, as well as to intimidate people, doing so in his meeting with CP-0 and when confronting Komurasaki. Orochi was also seen crunching his subordinates.

History
If you follow my instructions...I shall grant you the power you need to become shogun!! The fruit was acquired by Kurozumi Higurashi over 41 years ago, and she offered to give it to Orochi if he followed her instructions to take the title of shogun. Some time prior to Orochi successfully becoming shogun, he already consumed the fruit.

Trivia



 * When the fruit was shown in the Shonen Jump magazine release of Chapter 965, it lacked the usual swirls of a Devil Fruit, and had more scales. This was fixed in the volume release of Volume 96, with the swirl pattern replacing some of the scales.
