Beta Beta no Mi

The Beta Beta no Mi is a Logia-class Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, become and control an adhesive and explosive sticky substance. "Betabeta" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "sticky" or "clinging". It was consumed by Trébol.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The fruit's major strength is the ability to turn the user's body into a sticky substance, which affords the ability to restrain movements and allow the user to attach themselves to surfaces. The adhesive substance is strong enough to hold a ship. As a Logia fruit, it allows him to transform into the substance to spread his own range as well as avoid attacks.

Despite its capabilities, the substance is flammable and will cause it to explode violently upon contact with a spark. Aside from that and the standard Devil Fruits' weaknesses, this ability has no other known weakness.

Usage
Trébol uses it to stick to various surfaces, such as roofs or walls. By producing this substance he is able to extend his reach and seize his targets from afar, and keep them in place (or make moving more difficult for them). He can also fire off a bullet of said substance with extreme force and precision, piercing a wall with explosive force while striking a fly in between its eyes, or use it to seize heavy objects and use it as a flail. As the substance is flammable, he can ignite it with a match upon capturing his opponents and causing incendiary damage.

Named Techniques

 * Beta Beta Chain (ベタベタ チェーン): Trébol releases the sticky substance and shapes it into a chain with its other end sticking on an object of various sizes. This was first seen used to grab a ship.
 * Beta Betton Meteora (ベタベットン流星（メテオーラ）): After seizing a heavy object with Beta Beta Chain, Trébol throws it on his target, similar to a flail. This was first used to smash the Officer Tower.
 * Hanamizu Shinken Shirahadori (ハナ水真剣白刃取り): Trébol manipulates the snot running out of his nose, in order to defend against sword strikes. This was first seen in use against Trafalgar Law, but was cut up before it made contact. Shinken Shirahadori is a set of techniques for defense against sword attacks, from the Wadō-ryū style of karate.

Trivia

 * This is the first canon Logia-class Devil Fruit which is not clear on what element it represents, as it only describes the substance as adhesive and flammable.
