Tekking, as a 30 yr old man thas been a part of the channel since the very beginning, not one you would know but always here nontheless, it brings me unique sorrow knowing the time draws near when Im not going to be able to watch your one piece videos and even though you dont know me youve been a part of my life most days if not every day for so long that its gonna be something I wont know I seperate with, thank you for being here with us
I second this. Tekking101 truly has a talent for story telling and narrating content, it's really engaging and contagious. I saw this video thinking it must be old considering Zala has been introduced in the past but no, recently uploaded. Which brings me to believe Matt will continue talking about one piece long after it's over, and I'm very much looking forward to his ultra-rants in the future. Godspeed!
@robertnelson9599 He's dedicated, he's hosted countless Davy Back Fights. He's a master of presentation, putting on a whole festival for the games with cooks, musicians, and entertainers. He acquired a crew of around 500 people, all of whom actually seem to respect him and want to follow him, purely through playing silly games with other pirate crews. I think that's admirable.
god this is easily my fav tekking series, love the deep dives and had been going back into the archives for years, SO glad to see this series to be coming back 😼🪤
Finally, the wheel wheel fruit ! My OC has it and she's terrifying. Weird articulations, able to generate rotational energy in her own body, increased speed, rubber armor, the wagon wheel effect...
This would be a terrible fruit for people with Aichmophobia (fear of sharp objects) - Also what I find odd is that Zala / Doublefinger doesn’t have an spider based named attacks / techniques because she runs the Spider Cafe, her epithet is “Poison Spider” (poison spikes would be scary), & her outfit has a web design
Yeah probably going to do that. Otherwise it'll just be a 30 minute video of me talking about leopard facts for Lucci...although I could see myself doing that.
I love it when you do these devil fruit explain videos. They are always fun and interesting to think about. Can’t wait for the other. Also happy new year
The body strength and muscle control zala has is incredible and not talked about enough. The control to be able to scale a building effortless and keep your body so controlled is insane. go live out your Cafe dreams, girl!
Ms. Doublefingers might had been one of the characters that had armermend haki before we could see it. She never fought someone where it would be weird that her spikes could harm them but it would make her hard hair stingers make more sense.
I would love a revisit on some fruits that have relevance in the current arcs, like the swamp swamp fruit, what crazy uses could blackbread have with someone that could hold an entire army inside them, then teleport that swamp person anywhere!
A video about niche interactions with devil fruits would be cool. Like, what would happen a devil fruit user that has a pocket dimension died in the dimension(like Brulee in mirror world or blueno in his door dimension). Would the devil fruit still being able to reincarnate? Big Mom can make fauna homies but what if she tried making an actual devil fruit itself a homie? Could Wapol use his devil fruit to combine a devil fruit and a person and give them the devil fruit(maybe temporarily)?
Few things I'd like to mention/add Zala's DF is the same as Mr 5's where EVERY part of his body is a bomb but he chooses to mostly use BOOGERS as bombs, that means that anything she throws out of her body can be a spiky projective: hair, boogers, nails, poop.... Yes her awakening would be that: "spike world". One thing people should always keep in mind when speculating awakenings. As Doffy said, "it affects the environment" but a better visual would be "it creates a new source for the power" For example - Doffy IS a the soruce of string Awakening, the buildings were the source of string - Katakuri IS the soruce of mochi Awakening, the floor was the soucrce of mochi - Kid IS magnetic Awakening, makes other people/things magnetic - Law is the "operator" of his room Awakneing, creates a remote room where the "air" is operating That means tht PUNK HAZARD is the LITERAL proof of Logia awakenings - Akainu IS magma Awakening, the island became magma - Aokiji IS ice Awakening, the island became ice Other implied awakenings (obvious to me) - Brook is the target of his REVIVE fruit Awakening, revive OTHER PEOPLE and we've seen that in Whole Cake Island. The homies are animated by the souls of the citizens and he literally "scared" them out of their bodies, aka revived those sould fragments - Big Mom can manipulate HER OWN SOUL Awakening, she can manipulate the souls of OTHER people as seen in Soul Pocus
I'd have to choose spike from Land Before Time is a favorite character named Spike to me. When it comes to Nami, there's always something that relates her to needles in some way. Nami is shown to be good with sewing needles in both manga story and in the cover stories. Nami was the 1 who ran into the needle god hedgehog. Nami vs Double finger (Toge Toge no mi/Spike Spike fruit) Last ones, a joke. Starring Nami in "There's Something About Hari"
This is just a small bonus to add. But seeing how Oda always has some needle ties with Nami. I wouldn't even probably be surprised with Oda revealing that Nami's biological parents named her Hari. Or even revealing that Nami was born on Feb 8th, and the reason for that is because there's an actual festival in Japan that celebrates the pins and needles through all the hardships.
Maybe the acupuncture technique is her awakening - the essence of spikes/stabbing and triggering pressure points (perhaps that's where all the spikes are coming from - her pressure points).
Acupuncture doesn't do much to your muscles. Unless your physical therapist performs Dry Needling. Dry Needling is when the therapist puts a sharp needle into the body part that the muscle needs to relax or has a knot.. The therapist will sometimes wiggle the needle to have your muscle engage and contract until it knot relaxes.
What I always wondered about this one: does it make your body steel like mr 1’s? The way Nami defeated her is consistent with that, as it basically amounts to blunt force trauma (and electricity).
I’ve always wondered about the material for this fruit. Because it’s never explicitly stated but it seems to just go through anything and the spikes don’t bend or snap. So I have to wonder if it’s like the barrier fruit. When Barto say ‘well it wouldn’t be much of a barrier if you could break it’. A spike isn’t much of a spike if it can’t pierce what it touches. So maybe it takes on what ever quality it needs to pierce what ever it contacts. So short of maybe haki you really can’t block it.
I recently realized something that we missed with one piece. Oda made this so vague, hoping we would miss it. But it could only go unnoticed for so long. Do you remember in Dress-Rosa, when Jesus Burgus from the Blackbeard pirates, was going after Luffy cause he wanted his devil fruit, and then Sabo stopped him. He acted surprised because he had not until just then realized that Sabo was the one that ate the devil fruit, and he thought Lufy ate the devil fruit. What this tells me is he thought that Luffy had eaten a second devil fruit, so he was going after the Flame Flame fruit and Luffy's Gum Gum fruit. That is until he realized that Sabo had eaten the devil fruit instead. Now, what this discovery tells us is that it might be possible for other people besides Blackbeard to eat a second devil fruit without dying. I urge you to watch over this part of one piece again to double-check and corroborate what I'm saying. If you agree and like my comment, then give my comment a thumbs up.
19:30 I got the feeling Zala's "Acupuncture Doping" ability, was here using some sort of drug to stimulate her muscles to do that. I mean her alias is "Poison Spider" wouldn't the spike spike fruit be a potent assassination power if you just put a bit of poison on your finger and then stabbed someone with it? I have no way to confirm, but I feel that was an idea Oda was going to go with but either didn't want to go into more detail with her power set or thought that would be too much for Nami to deal with in the fight.
Spike from Buffy/Angel is one of mine, but since you already mentioned him Ill say Spike Spiegal from Cowboy Bebop. I also just finished the First Law Trilogy recently. All that stuff with Bayaz and Ferro in book 3 was wild. Also Glokta and my waifu Ardee had awesome endings.
In addition to the firing spikes, “Thor Ragnarok” film Hela gives an idea of what could be an idea for that in the way she fights the Asgard army. Rewatch that
Talking about the stuff dentist use to numb your gums reminded me of when they tried to use it on me, when I had to get a baby tooth fully removed from a cavity, and it never worked. They tried like... a few times then said "That's all we can legally give you, so... I guess we have to knock you out, you'll wake up a little groggy but feel a lot better." My dad and I did give consent to me being put under for my oral health.
Next tree fact should be one down here native to Texas /south it’s called the tickle tongue tree. It’s got spikey bark and if you cut some of the bark and chew on it, it numbs your gums and makes your tongue feel strange
Ya know. Something that could be really fun is if you did a video about all the marine dog zoans in the style of the Thanksgiving Day dog show. Also, you should do foxy on April first and hype him up with a strait face the whole video.
23:10 something really funny is I have a character in my One Piece DnD campaign I run named Spyke. He ate the cactus cactus fruit so he's more prickly than pointy
i think in some circles they say acupuncture can align/open a person's chakra gates. so i guess she might have used accupuncture to do something like that? Release the chakra gates, or remove the body's safety limiter xD
Thoughts. 1. "Kanenbo" could have worked as a non drug substitute for "doping" In the name of the technique where Ms. Doublefinger beefed up her arms. Especially given the fact that it would foreshadow a prominent weapon in a later arc. I wonder if whoever did the dub for Alabasta had a "hindsight facepalm" moment once they learned about that. 2. I seem to recall at least 1 alternate Spider-Man who climbed walls using retractable spikes instead of electromagnetism. The one from the "2099" universe. So really, Zala can imitate Spider-Man with her wall crawling. Just Miguel O'Hara instead of Peter Parker. 3. A while back, I read a crossover story that, while it ended without a proper payoff or conclusion, did imply the idea of Ms. Doublefinger getting pulled into other realities. This story was a sequel to another that already established "Star Wars Clone Wars" as part of its Multiverse. After reading that, I started thinking about her ending up in that reality, awakening her devil fruit, and becoming a Sith Lord of TERRIFYING power. Channeling Force lightning through her spikes. Dragging enemies onto them with a thought. Turning an entire battlefield into a recreation of the event that earned "Vlad the Impaler" his title and scared off an invading army. Easily a "pants to be darkened" mental image.
Hey Tekking, 2 things! 1) 2:39, missed opportunity to say “Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams” 2) I’m glad you’re doing this series, similarly to what Liam tried to do with his Devil Fruit Encyclopedia
Favorite fictional character named Spike Top 3: 3. The dinosaur from Land Before Time 2. Spike from Cowboy Bebop 1. Spike Simpson, teacher and step dad of Emma in Degrassi.
I agree that Nami is able to go through a surprising about of pain, but her fight with Zala wasn't the first time we saw it(she got a tattoo when she was young and stabbed herself in the shoulder back in Arlong Park), it's just the first time it's front and center, the only thing is that she's surrounded by people much stronger than she is.
If I had the Toge Toge no Mi I'd pull a Wolverine and pop spikes out of my knuckles for piercing punches, my shins would be transmogrified into tetsubo for even deadlier roundhouse/tornado kicks. Turn axe kicks into bec de corbin kicks.
Hey guys today we are discussing the spike-spike fruit She can make pointy spikes all over her body, they prick, poke and puncture almost anything. Wouldn't want to cuddle her! Ok now for 30 minutes of various plants and if i think I could take them in a fight.
Nami is a "glass cannon" in comparison to most of the Straw Hats. Compared to most outside of the Straw Hats who aren't part of yonko crews, ex-warlord crews, or the marines though, she's an off-tank.
Already? Damn this fruit JUST got introduced in the story and Tekking already has enough info on it to make a video, what a professional!
Theory: He’s oda’s little brother!?
I'm going to be honest, I don't get how this is a joke, but upvoting because humor is subjective.
I heard he's his dad
@@envytee9659the jokes that make no sense be the funniest sometimes
@envytee9659 The apparent sarcasm is what indicates it's humor
Tekking, as a 30 yr old man thas been a part of the channel since the very beginning, not one you would know but always here nontheless, it brings me unique sorrow knowing the time draws near when Im not going to be able to watch your one piece videos and even though you dont know me youve been a part of my life most days if not every day for so long that its gonna be something I wont know I seperate with, thank you for being here with us
I second this. Tekking101 truly has a talent for story telling and narrating content, it's really engaging and contagious. I saw this video thinking it must be old considering Zala has been introduced in the past but no, recently uploaded. Which brings me to believe Matt will continue talking about one piece long after it's over, and I'm very much looking forward to his ultra-rants in the future. Godspeed!
I third this he’s impacted my life so much every year when his birthday passes I get very sad
RUclips has reached that age.
Same. Same age and everything. That will be tough. Thanks Tekking!
??? Why wouldn't this channel continue doing one piece for like 8 years at least
"Foxy's fruit is cool"
I feel like that's the only positive thing I've ever heard you say about Foxy.
It’s the only positive thing about Foxy.
@robertnelson9599 He's dedicated, he's hosted countless Davy Back Fights. He's a master of presentation, putting on a whole festival for the games with cooks, musicians, and entertainers. He acquired a crew of around 500 people, all of whom actually seem to respect him and want to follow him, purely through playing silly games with other pirate crews. I think that's admirable.
Who the hell is foxy ?
-I just couldn’t handle this arc and had to skip it 😭😭
Genuinely forgot her name was Zala and not actually Ms.Doublefingers
I forgot her code name and just remembered her spikey birds.
17:17 Tekking totally forgot Gladius existed
To be fair. Gladius probably forgot that Gladius existed.
@@Tekking101 And to think that when he was introduced in Dressrosa a lot of people were hyped because of his design.
Can't wait for an hour long discussion on that one panel that shows the wheel wheel fruit 😆
god this is easily my fav tekking series, love the deep dives and had been going back into the archives for years, SO glad to see this series to be coming back 😼🪤
This is gonna be a fun series. Especially when Oda gives us more information, and/or changes things. Like, for example, Luffy's fruit.
Finally, the wheel wheel fruit ! My OC has it and she's terrifying. Weird articulations, able to generate rotational energy in her own body, increased speed, rubber armor, the wagon wheel effect...
The what effect?
@freddieadams8435 When you spin a wheel so fast, it looks like it's spinning the other way. Basically an afterimage
This would be a terrible fruit for people with Aichmophobia (fear of sharp objects)
- Also what I find odd is that Zala / Doublefinger doesn’t have an spider based named attacks / techniques because she runs the Spider Cafe, her epithet is “Poison Spider” (poison spikes would be scary), & her outfit has a web design
She was cleary desgined to be goth eyecandy. Ms doublefinger?
Please
If anything she's more scorpion with all the stinger attacks
Yeah let’s complete the Pokédex
Or the tekkingdex lol
The odadex

Usopp spell is underrated
It would work on more people since it worked on Nami
Oh boy! Can't wait to talk about everyone's favorite characters, Very Good and Sharinguru!
Finally you finish this series! Really looking forward to your videos
Omg I’m actually first at a tekking vid, man if you see this thank you for being the one good constant in my life since I was 8
Aww Tekking ^-^ That was a great speech at the end! Really a Magnum Opus!! Happy birthday Oda Sensei!!!
16:47 that's cause she never took the time to train up her nen as an emitter
I’ve been waiting for this series for my whole life!!!!
13:51 I was actually thinking that you'd be vulnerable to "Usopp Spell" right before you said this bit. lol
How would she immune be immune to piercing damage? Right after that bit, you also said she stabbed herself, so clearly not immune to being pierced.
You should just bundle all the zoans that are similar.
All the cats in one video, dogs in another one, and so on.
Yeah probably going to do that. Otherwise it'll just be a 30 minute video of me talking about leopard facts for Lucci...although I could see myself doing that.
@Tekking101 A 30 minutes video on Dalmatian would be fantastic!
@@Tekking101I would watch that shit and every other zoan vid
I love it when you do these devil fruit explain videos. They are always fun and interesting to think about. Can’t wait for the other. Also happy new year
My goat tekking dropping another banger. Gonna be a good year for tekking videos 🔥
A New Year and a _sharp_ new video (I regret nothing!) 😎😎😎
Happy New Year Tekking and *please* go hug your furbabies all 🎊💙🐱💙🎊
The body strength and muscle control zala has is incredible and not talked about enough. The control to be able to scale a building effortless and keep your body so controlled is insane. go live out your Cafe dreams, girl!

Greeting the new year with the not-drug Devil Fruit. Great start👍
I would love a revisit on some fruits that have relevance in the current arcs, like the swamp swamp fruit, what crazy uses could blackbread have with someone that could hold an entire army inside them, then teleport that swamp person anywhere!
SO , Were gonna See Tekking161 Devil-Fruit a lot this Year.
2025 Just started Great. Happy New Devil Fruit Year.
I wonder if the floor of spikes at Impel down was made by a previously awakened spike spike fruit
Hey tekking, been a fan for a long time, thank you for making good one piece videos. Looking forward to another great year of videos!
A video about niche interactions with devil fruits would be cool.
Like, what would happen a devil fruit user that has a pocket dimension died in the dimension(like Brulee in mirror world or blueno in his door dimension).
Would the devil fruit still being able to reincarnate?
Big Mom can make fauna homies but what if she tried making an actual devil fruit itself a homie?

Yes her awakening would be that: "spike world".
One thing people should always keep in mind when speculating awakenings.
As Doffy said, "it affects the environment" but a better visual would be "it creates a new source for the power"
For example
- Doffy IS a the soruce of string
Awakening, the buildings were the source of string
- Katakuri IS the soruce of mochi
Awakening, the floor was the soucrce of mochi
- Kid IS magnetic
Awakening, makes other people/things magnetic
- Law is the "operator" of his room
Awakneing, creates a remote room where the "air" is operating
That means tht PUNK HAZARD is the LITERAL proof of Logia awakenings
- Akainu IS magma
Awakening, the island became magma
- Aokiji IS ice
Awakening, the island became ice
Other implied awakenings (obvious to me)
- Brook is the target of his REVIVE fruit
Awakening, revive OTHER PEOPLE and we've seen that in Whole Cake Island. The homies are animated by the souls of the citizens and he literally "scared" them out of their bodies, aka revived those sould fragments
- Big Mom can manipulate HER OWN SOUL

I can´t Wait for the berry berry fruit video
23:13 the doggo hes a good boy
Omg you know how to tease and hype at an unbelievable balance, thank you really enjoy your content
23:06 . . . That's one hell of an Awakening, summoning that which is weak to spikes
an alabasta charicter devil frut and were in in elbaf arc took you long enough ive been waiting almost a decade for you to revew this
2:21 - until now, I thought his name was Berry Good. A pun on his devil fruit.
Maybe the acupuncture technique is her awakening - the essence of spikes/stabbing and triggering pressure points (perhaps that's where all the spikes are coming from - her pressure points).
Acupuncture doesn't do much to your muscles. Unless your physical therapist performs Dry Needling. Dry Needling is when the therapist puts a sharp needle into the body part that the muscle needs to relax or has a knot..
The therapist will sometimes wiggle the needle to have your muscle engage and contract until it knot relaxes.
Happy new year Matt!
I busted out laughing too hard when you said animal effects take two 😂😂😂😂
8:23 Doublefinger was actually pitying Nami in those chapters. She was being nice.
What I always wondered about this one: does it make your body steel like mr 1’s? The way Nami defeated her is consistent with that, as it basically amounts to blunt force trauma (and electricity).
13:35 legit gave me ptsd (not literally, but I did have to pause the video for a few mins)
You def got me with the needle in the gums 🤣
Isn't the pop pop fruit the Galdius the upgrade to what miss double finger has. The hair exploding seems to be his wheel house
I’ve always wondered about the material for this fruit. Because it’s never explicitly stated but it seems to just go through anything and the spikes don’t bend or snap.
So I have to wonder if it’s like the barrier fruit. When Barto say ‘well it wouldn’t be much of a barrier if you could break it’. A spike isn’t much of a spike if it can’t pierce what it touches. So maybe it takes on what ever quality it needs to pierce what ever it contacts. So short of maybe haki you really can’t block it.
I recently realized something that we missed with one piece. Oda made this so vague, hoping we would miss it. But it could only go unnoticed for so long.

If you agree and like my comment, then give my comment a thumbs up.
Her being able to awaken her fruit and potentially turn the environment or just the feet under her opponents into spikes is terrifying
Maybe this is also the year he finally decides talk about the final two episodes of the One Piece Live Action.
19:30 I got the feeling Zala's "Acupuncture Doping" ability, was here using some sort of drug to stimulate her muscles to do that. I mean her alias is "Poison Spider" wouldn't the spike spike fruit be a potent assassination power if you just put a bit of poison on your finger and then stabbed someone with it? I have no way to confirm, but I feel that was an idea Oda was going to go with but either didn't want to go into more detail with her power set or thought that would be too much for Nami to deal with in the fight.
I'd imagine the awakened Spike-Spike fruit could make spikes pop out of the ground, impaling you from beneath. It's a common mechanic in video games.
17:46 why are we assuming that? She needs a power that counter the damage not the same as it. It's not like mr.one was amune to slicing damage
Wonder what they did to namis foot to heal the LITERAL HOLE ZALA PUT IN IT
Prolly sum Chopper bs
How did Luffy and Jinbe heal the holes punched in their torsos.
@ law magic

Spike from Buffy/Angel is one of mine, but since you already mentioned him Ill say Spike Spiegal from Cowboy Bebop. I also just finished the First Law Trilogy recently. All that stuff with Bayaz and Ferro in book 3 was wild. Also Glokta and my waifu Ardee had awesome endings.

Animal Facts Remake
Yeah I agree , I hate needles normally but needles in the gums terrifying
Very cool video Matt. Say think you'll do a Video on Attack Cuisine/make up some dishes you'd want to be apart of the 100 recipes.
Next tree fact should be one down here native to Texas /south it’s called the tickle tongue tree. It’s got spikey bark and if you cut some of the bark and chew on it, it numbs your gums and makes your tongue feel strange
What if a past awakened user of the spike spike fruit helped make lvl 1 of impel down???
My first experience with the dreaded dental needle, I’m glad I was wearing sunglasses because I shed a tear.
The dog in Tom & Jerry was also called Spike. Always loved him.
Ya know. Something that could be really fun is if you did a video about all the marine dog zoans in the style of the Thanksgiving Day dog show.
Also, you should do foxy on April first and hype him up with a strait face the whole video.
I'm excited for the Foxy Video lol, seeing Matt having to talk about Foxy or at least reference Foxy
went to the dentist yesterday I truly feel you
🤣
23:10 something really funny is I have a character in my One Piece DnD campaign I run named Spyke. He ate the cactus cactus fruit so he's more prickly than pointy
i think in some circles they say acupuncture can align/open a person's chakra gates. so i guess she might have used accupuncture to do something like that? Release the chakra gates, or remove the body's safety limiter xD
Her bounty would be $252,436.69 to day if there money equals yen
I really hope you can talk about the Buki Buki no Mi. Is my favorite devil fruit ever!
Thoughts.
1. "Kanenbo" could have worked as a non drug substitute for "doping" In the name of the technique where Ms. Doublefinger beefed up her arms. Especially given the fact that it would foreshadow a prominent weapon in a later arc. I wonder if whoever did the dub for Alabasta had a "hindsight facepalm" moment once they learned about that.
2. I seem to recall at least 1 alternate Spider-Man who climbed walls using retractable spikes instead of electromagnetism. The one from the "2099" universe. So really, Zala can imitate Spider-Man with her wall crawling. Just Miguel O'Hara instead of Peter Parker.
3. A while back, I read a crossover story that, while it ended without a proper payoff or conclusion, did imply the idea of Ms. Doublefinger getting pulled into other realities. This story was a sequel to another that already established "Star Wars Clone Wars" as part of its Multiverse.

Easily a "pants to be darkened" mental image.
@Tekking101, out of all the fictional characters named "Spike", my favorites are a certain young Stegosaurus and a bounty hunter on Mars.
Your refernces to Symphony of the Night and Buffy made my day 🎉44
Yesssss tekkin doing devil fruit break downs!! 2025 starting off right!
Hey Tekking, 2 things!
1) 2:39, missed opportunity to say “Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams”
2) I’m glad you’re doing this series, similarly to what Liam tried to do with his Devil Fruit Encyclopedia
Favorite fictional character named Spike Top 3:
3. The dinosaur from Land Before Time
2. Spike from Cowboy Bebop
1. Spike Simpson, teacher and step dad of Emma in Degrassi.
17:20 Gladius from the Dress Rosa arc litterally did that
I agree that Nami is able to go through a surprising about of pain, but her fight with Zala wasn't the first time we saw it(she got a tattoo when she was young and stabbed herself in the shoulder back in Arlong Park), it's just the first time it's front and center, the only thing is that she's surrounded by people much stronger than she is.
My boy Tekking got hit with God Usoop’s ultimate attack 😭😭
I figure Spike Doping could be like, her turning the INSIDE of her arms into spikes to increase their size and density
next tree: 'The larch. The larch.'
i am so down for this series, yeeessss!
If I had the Toge Toge no Mi I'd pull a Wolverine and pop spikes out of my knuckles for piercing punches, my shins would be transmogrified into tetsubo for even deadlier roundhouse/tornado kicks. Turn axe kicks into bec de corbin kicks.
Spike world sounds like level 1 in Impel down. Spikes on the ground, Trees made of Spikes
Cant wait for the jacket jacket episode😊
Her awakening would look like the founding titan, making spikes with the warhammer
i mean, her power would synergize really well with Rokushiki techniques like Shigan and Tekkai
Hey guys today we are discussing the spike-spike fruit
She can make pointy spikes all over her body, they prick, poke and puncture almost anything.
Wouldn't want to cuddle her!
Ok now for 30 minutes of various plants and if i think I could take them in a fight.
I think you should do non Canon devil fruits
