Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

This Devil Fruit baron allows the user to create and control a wide roll of poisons that can vary in strength and form : ranging from a mild irritant, to a hard paralyze agentive role, to a deadly and highly caustic toxin. The user can produce these poisons in both liquid and gaseous states. The exploiter besides becomes wholly immune to any and all poisons, be it their own or an external toxin. The user can create massive amounts of liquid poison that they can shape into a gigantic atrocious entity, such as a hydra or a demon. A big amount of poison can besides be used as a means of transportation system, allowing the user to travel through it like a pneumatic tube. The user can besides cover themself with a midst layer of liquid poison, giving them a virtual suit of armor. Said armor does not offer much fortitude, but it does dissuade opponents from attacking the user directly for reverence of being poisoned. If a victim is affected by just one type of poison produced by this power, it can normally be cured preferably easily, given the right antidote is used. however, if they suffer an accretion of different types of poison simultaneously, producing an appropriate antidote becomes a much more daunting, if not impossible tax. furthermore, any foolhardy attempts to cure the ailments brought upon by the poison can actually hasten the death of the victim. [ 3 ] The most powerful poison the power can produce is called Kinjite, which Magellan himself has stated is powerful adequate to “ destroy Impel Down itself ”. not only is this poison more deadly and fast-acting than most, it besides spreads out from any airfoil it touches, literally “ infecting ” everything, including stone .

Weaknesses

While the exploiter is completely immune to poison and its negative effects ( end, paralysis, sensory distortion, etc. ), the drug user ‘s body is not able to process poison. If the drug user consumes poison, the tainted food would afflict the user with excessive diarrhea. Magellan in finical likes to add poison to his food for spirit, causing him to spend approximately 10 hours a sidereal day on the toilet. This is a big trouble for him since he loves to eat poisoned food. [ 4 ]
As another helplessness, it is shown that fire has some neutralize consequence on the liquid poison the exploiter makes. Certain materials, like Mr. 3 ‘s wax, are besides repellent to the poisons ; the limited Kinjite poison creatable by the exploiter, however, is so potent that it is able to bypass said wax and go through even stone ( given its possible acidity ). A desegregate of unlike poisons is about certain death, however some people can be cured of the poison if their body ‘s natural lastingness is pushed. In cases where the victim has survived the poison, either by sheer luck or by being put through an accelerated heal process, they may develop antibodies that makes them greatly ( though not absolutely ) resistant to far poison. [ 5 ] Additionally, the large come of poison generated makes the user a terror to allies, and even nearby bystanders can, for case, start suffocating on the drug user ‘s toxic breath if the drug user is careless while using their abilities. early than that, the drug user is besides affected by the criterion Devil Fruit weaknesses .

usage

The fruit ‘s lend powers, as demonstrated by Magellan, have been used in a variety show of ways. With the fruit ‘s powers, Magellan is able to enjoy a poison meal without the risk of dying. rather, the poison adds flavor to the food for him. The merely trouble with this, however, is that while the poisoned food will not kill him, it gives him a severe lawsuit of diarrhea. His level of diarrhea may be related to the sum of poison he consumes. [ 4 ] When putting up with Hannyabal ‘s antics, or any complaints from others, Magellan much uses the simplest human body of crime the Devil Fruit provides, his own breath turned into poison. With this, he merely breathes meek poison boast on his subordinates to put them back into place. When dangerous, Magellan can use the yield ‘s powers to attack by producing and manipulating poison from his torso. With this, he can promptly exercise his authority on prisoners as their executioner. Magellan can merely poison person by breathing or using a complex move .
To prevent his enemies from running away or to trap them, Magellan can use his fluid poison to create a wall to block the exits of a build. Any aim used to break Magellan ‘s poison door simply goes into the poison which absorbs and dissolves it. however, Blackbeard could absorb the poison with his dark, proving this barricade is not absolute. In battle, Magellan can coat himself in liquid poison to serve as armor, preventing any opposition from easily landing any direct physical attack without getting poisoned in the work. Despite being coated, Magellan has enough control over his powers to enable him to finely handle small objects while in this state, as seen when he held a Baby Den Den Mushi finale to his confront with his armor active without killing it. aside from deadly poison, Magellan can besides produce different types of poison that affect his opponents ‘ senses. He can besides transfer his poison through his false cornet boxing gloves, which can pierce or slash his targets, and at the same clock time dissolve them .

Techniques

  • Hydra 毒竜（ヒドラ）, Hidora ?, literally meaning “ Poison Dragon ” )Hydra for which the technique is named after. While the Hydra could regrow a severed head, it could not if the base of the head was burned.[6] This was first seen being used on a prisoner.[7] In the anime, this attack appears to be self aware, distracted by Mr. 2 posing as Luffy.
  • Chloro Ball 毒ガス弾（クロロボール）, Kurorobōru ?, literally meaning “ Poison Gas Bullet ” )tear gas and causes severe sneezing, and immobilizes the enemy and anyone else near the vicinity. The name comes from chlorobenzalmalononitrile, or CS tear gas. This was first seen being used against Luffy.[8] In the Funimation dub, this is called Chloroform Ball.
  • Doku Fugu 毒フグ, Doku Fugu ?, literally translated as “ Poison Blowfish ” )Gear Second attack. While in this stance, Magellan can blow poisonous liquid bubbles with similar properties to the Hydra. This technique is named after the poison blowfish and its defensive ability against predators. Its principle is similar to Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Fusen technique. The name of this attack is a pun as “fugu” has different meanings, such as “emergency”, “deformation”, and “pufferfish”. This was first seen being used against Luffy.[9] In the anime, Magellan did not inflate his body like a balloon for defensive purposes, but instead just shot poisonous liquid bullets at his opponent. This is called Poison Blowfish in the VIZ translation and Venom Blowfish in the Funimation dub.
  • Doku Gumo 毒・雲, Doku Gumo ?, literally meaning “ Poison Cloud ” )[9] In the anime, Magellan claims that the fog is a part of him, and that it is alive, supported when Luffy blew the fog away, it simply reformed around him. This is called Poison Spider Cloud in the VIZ translation and Venom Cloud in the Funimation dub.
  • Venom Demon: Jigoku no Shinpan 毒の巨兵（ベノムデーモン） 地獄の審判, Benomu Dēmon Jigoku no Shinpan ?, literally meaning “ poisonous Giant Soldier : Hell ‘s Judgment ” )Kinjite 禁じ手, Kinjite ?, literally meaning “ Forbidden Hand ” )Magellan’s. The color of this poison liquid is crimson-colored and releases a noxious smoke to go along with it. The poison made from this attack is so toxic that it affects even non-organic objects, with the poison spreading like a disease over everything that makes contact with it, even if not directly, and seems to kill the afflicted victims right away once the infection spreads all the way throughout the body (which seems to be at a very rapid rate). Magellan claimed that this technique is potent enough to destroy all of Impel Down.[10] The name of the poison, “Kinjite”, comes from the term for “foul moves” in sumo wrestling. In the anime, Magellan did not explain the powers of the Venom Demon, nor name the Kinjite poison, but its effects were obvious regardless. In the VIZ translation, this is called Venom Demon! Judgment of Hell, and in the Funimation dub this is called Venom Demon! Hell’s Judgment.

Anime and Manga Differences

In the anime, when Magellan deactivates his liquid poison armor, it seemed to instantaneously disappear, quite than ooze away. similarly, the Kinjite poison besides disappeared rather than retract into his body or ooze away. [ citation needed ]

  • This Devil Fruit endows similar abilities to other powers in the series:
    • It is similar to the Gasu Gasu no Mi as both involve poisonous substances and gases.
    • It is similar to the non-canon Noko Noko no Mi, which also manipulates poison (but in the form of spores).
    • The fruit user’s ability to both produce and resist poison is similar to Vinsmoke Reiju’s ability to secrete poison in battle, and to neutralize poisons she consumes.[11]
  • This fruit is one of the few Paramecia often confused as a Logia-type Devil Fruit, because it seemingly produces an “element”. However, it is not a Logia because the user cannot transform into the said element, but rather just generate it. However, the Doku Doku no Mi is one of the most unique Paramecia Devil Fruits in the series, giving the user the unnatural ability to cover their entire body with poison constantly and also gain immunity to many melee attacks and all poisons. It was confirmed by Caesar Clown much later, who stated that the Doku Doku no Mi is a Paramecia.[2]
  • This is the first Devil Fruit so far in the series to be named and explained before its power is demonstrated.
