Kachi Kachi no Mi

The Kachi Kachi no Mi is a Non-Canon Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the body of the user to harden and heat up body temperature at will. It was eaten by Bear King.

Etymology

 * "Kachikachi" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for stones knocking against one another to create fire, a reference to the heating up power of the fruit.
 * "Kachikachi" can be the sound effect of something hardening, another reference to the powers of the fruit.
 * The FUNimation sub names this fruit as the Hard-Hard Fruit.

Strengths and Weaknesses
This fruit allows the eater to harden the body at will, increasing defense capabilities. Not even the drilling power of the King Cannon could break through it, as it was the floor caving in that defeated him. The user can also increase the temperature of their hardened body portions, which can be used to increase damage done to the opponent, enough to set his chair ablaze upon contact.

This fruit does not seem to have any other specific weaknesses, aside from the standard Devil Fruit weakness.

Usage
Bear King basically hardens his body to increase defense. This also augments his offense, allowing him to hit harder. He also increases his body temperature to burn his opponent on contact.


 * Hot Boiling Special (ホットボーリングスペシャル): Bear King heats his fist up and punches the enemy.

Trivia

 * The "heat-up" ability is seen twice again in the anime, from the Atsu Atsu no Mi, eaten by Don Accino, and the Gutsu Gutsu no Mi eaten by Bill.
 * The power to "harden" the body for both defensive and offensive enhancements is also reminiscent of Busoshoku Haki.
