Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger

The Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger is an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a hybrid and full version of a saber-toothed tiger at will. It was eaten by Who's Who.

Etymology

 * Neko (猫) is Japanese for "cat".
 * Sāberutaigā (サーベルタイガー) is a Japanese way of referring to the saber-toothed tiger, loaned from the English "Saber Tiger" (though the latter is not used in English).

Strengths and Weaknesses
A user of this fruit's power can transform into a smilodon, a.k.a. a saber-toothed tiger—a powerful, carnivorous predator from the prehistoric era—as well as assume a human hybrid form. The specific degrees of physical strength and ability bestowed have yet to be seen. The ability's current user, Who's Who, who is an already large man, grows to very notable size in his full-beast form, dwarfing his human-sized subordinates and even the large fish-man Jinbe.

No weaknesses of the fruit are known aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Who's Who was shown in his full-beast state relaxing at the "Cat Café" in Kaido's fortress.

Trivia

 * Despite its popular name, the saber-toothed tiger (correctly named Smilodon, which is one of the best-known genera of saber-toothed cats) is not closely related to the modern tiger or any extant feline.
 * Befitting his Devil Fruit ability, Who's Who's closest subordinates appear to follow a cat theme, including several feline SMILE users.
 * Though the Smilodon is a feline species, it is theorized that (unlike what Who's Who's transformation might indicate) the saber-toothed tiger actually possessed a very short stubby tail, and not a long one.
