Gura Gura no Mi

Regarded as the strongest of the Paramecia class, with force rivaling any Logia, this power lets its bearer set the world trembling. Edward Newgate held it for more than forty years before Marshall D. Teach claimed it as his own.

Its menace looms large: a Fleet Admiral flatly named it the means to destroy the world, and a Vice Admiral confessed that no corner of the ocean would offer refuge from its full might.

The wielder drives enormous shockwaves through almost any medium, whether solid ground, the seafloor, or open air, with strength enough to lay waste to an island and raise towering tsunamis. The user can also grip and fracture things that should be intangible, hauling on the air itself as though it were something solid.

Force on this scale threatens allies every bit as much as enemies, since the quakes spread without regard for who stands nearby and force crewmates to keep well clear. Its limits are real all the same: it took many blows to so much as dent Marineford, a specially forged siege wall held against the shockwaves, and the three Admirals once turned aside an attack by pooling their advanced Haki of the Armament kind. Otherwise nothing beyond the standard Paramecia weaknesses applies.

Edward Newgate, whom the world called its strongest man, ate the fruit at least forty-two years before the present day. His moves include Hakua, the sole one he canonically named, along with the air-cracking Kaishin, the close-range Gekishin, the concentrated Shingen no Ichigeki and Kabutowari, and Shima Yurashi, which tilts an entire island by seizing the air.

Once Whitebeard fell at Marineford, Blackbeard drew the ability into himself by an undisclosed method, making him the first known figure to carry two Devil Fruit powers at once without his body bursting. Wielding tremors alongside his Yami Yami no Mi darkness, he declared himself unbeatable, though his grip on the fruit lags far behind Whitebeard's mastery, as his Gurash technique demonstrates.
