Overview

Vasco Shot of the Blackbeard Pirates carries this liquor-themed Paramecia, which English releases name the Glug-Glug Fruit. It marks its eater as a Liquor Human. Its existence came to light in Chapter 1080, and the power itself was first shown in action in Chapter 1087 and Episode 1121. The title stems from gabugabu, a Japanese sound-word that mimics guzzling a beverage in big swallows.

Mechanics

Exactly how far this fruit's abilities reach has yet to be spelled out. From what battle footage exists, Shot swallows alcohol and then expels it while lighting it, throwing out streams of flame. His one named move, Shugo Roppu or Heavy Drinker Hearthfire, has him gulp liquor, spit it, and ignite it into a fire that swallows his target whole. As with every such power, its wielder stays vulnerable to the usual Devil Fruit drawbacks.
