Overview

Classed as a Logia, this Devil Fruit hands its wielder the power to spawn flame, direct it, and turn their own body into it at will. Portgas D. Ace carried it originally, and once the fruit reincarnated two years past his death, Sabo took it up. The title borrows a Japanese onomatopoeia for something flaring into flame, and the fruit looks like a round orange sphere assembled from many flame-shaped pieces beneath a swirled stem.

Mechanics

As with any Logia, the wielder can both create and embody the element, in this case loosing ferocious blazes while shrugging off most heat-based strikes, and the flames also lend extra bite to physical blows. Becoming fire lets hostile attacks slip through without harm and scorches anyone reckless enough to land a direct hit. Set against certain other Logias such as smoke or ice on level terms, the clashing powers simply cancel out. Its fatal shortfall is rank: this fruit sits beneath the Magu Magu no Mi, for magma runs hotter and swamps mere fire, stripping away the intangibility and heat immunity and leaving the wielder wide open to a killing wound, precisely what doomed Ace. Seawater and Seastone drag on the user as usual.

Notable Users

Ace, tagged Fire Fist, turned the power toward both battle and driving his Striker raft, and he was said to have sunk countless warships and torched whole cities. His Hiken sets his fist ablaze and hurls a thick pillar of fire able to bore through several ships at once, while techniques like Hibashira, the Hotarubi-into-Hidaruma chain, and his crowning Dai Enkai: Entei, a sun-shaped fireball, marked his duel with Blackbeard. Hiken, his last attack, was swallowed by Akainu's magma. The fruit later served as the top prize at Dressrosa's Corrida Colosseum tournament, where Sabo won and ate it to carry on Ace's will, firing off Hiken the moment he did. Sabo fuses the flames with his Ryusoken claw style in moves such as Moeru Ryusoken: Kaen Ryuo, which he used to crush Jesus Burgess.
