Ame Ame no Mi

The Ame Ame no Mi is a non-canonical Logia-type Devil Fruit from the fourth movie. It grants the user to become and control candy syrup. This fruit is unique as it allows the user to control the element in both semi-liquid and solid phases, not seen in any other Logia-class Devil Fruits. It was eaten by the main antagonist, General Gasparde. Ame (飴) means "candy".

Strengths and Weaknesses
This Devil Fruit allows the user to transform into a kind of candy syrup. The user can't be hit nor sliced because their body will just absorb the impact or take the blade which also immobilizes the attacker which then allows the user to pummel their enemy. The user can use it to either make the candy syrup-like (with sticky properties to trap the opponent) or intensely harden. Despite being syrup, it seems to be inedible, as seen when Luffy tried to contain Gasparde in his mouth, only to be forced to spit him back out.

Like most other Logia Devil Fruits, this one has a weakness that can nullify its intangibility: flour. When flour comes in contact with the user, they lose their stickiness and is vulnerable to physical attacks. Also, Gasparde seemed to have not mastered his powers, as when he was struck by a mast of the Salamander from behind, he claimed that it hurts. Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Gasparde has mostly been seen using this fruit for combat purposes. He has been seen transforming parts of his body into weapons of hardened syrup, uses the stickiness of the syrup to trap his opponents in his body and pummeling them, letting attacks bypass him by turning into syrup, and using the syrupy properties to mimic Luffy's rubber elasticity powers.

Trivia

 * Although Logia-class Devil Fruit users cannot control their elements if they are in another state of matter, Gasparde seems to be different, being able to control his syrup in either solid or semi-liquid state.
 * This Devil Fruit, along with its fellow non-canonical Toro Toro no Mi, are the only known Logia-class that controls liquid phase elements.
