A Paramecia Devil Fruit that hands its eater command over whatever they climb aboard, overriding the target's own will. Bluegrass uses it to hijack powerful weapons and creatures and force them to act on her orders.
This Paramecia power makes its consumer a Driving Human, capable of seizing control of anything they ride. The Marine officer Bluegrass ate it. Notably, this marks the first manga fruit to recycle a title that had earlier belonged to a non-canon fruit, since a separate Nori Nori no Mi appeared in a 2021 stage show. The Japanese word nori simply means riding or to ride, which captures the fruit's central conceit.
By mounting a target, whether a machine or a living being, the user commandeers it regardless of that target's intentions or any outside influence acting on it. The grip is strong enough to bypass even the chain of command built into the Pacifista, letting Bluegrass turn one against another. Reference material adds that the reach extends to anything within the span of her Haki. The trade-offs are practical ones: since she must physically perch atop her victim, she appears able to handle only a single target at a time, and she leaves herself exposed to attack no matter how formidable her mount happens to be. Aside from that and the usual Devil Fruit vulnerabilities, no other weaknesses have surfaced. Translation of the user's title shifted over time, first rendered as Driver and later adjusted to Pilot-woman to match the naming pattern of other fruits.
Bluegrass is the sole user. She rode and controlled a Pacifista Mark III, pitting it against its own kind, and later took the reins of a giraffe-shaped Sea Beast Weapon. Thematically the fruit sits alongside other obedience-granting powers such as the Kibi Kibi no Mi and Muchi Muchi no Mi, and it shares its mount-and-control logic with the Jake Jake no Mi.

The Nori Nori no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that lets its user seize control of anything they ride, overriding that target's own will. Eating it makes the user a Driving Human, and English releases call it the Ride-Ride Fruit.
Bluegrass, a Marine officer, is the known user of the Nori Nori no Mi. She used it to commandeer powerful machines and creatures in battle.
By mounting a target, whether machine or living being, the user of the Nori Nori no Mi commandeers it regardless of its own intentions or any outside control acting on it. Bluegrass used this to ride and control a Pacifista Mark III and a giraffe-shaped Sea Beast Weapon.
The Nori Nori no Mi requires the user to physically perch atop the target, so Bluegrass can only control one target at a time and remains exposed to attack no matter how powerful her mount is.
The Nori Nori no Mi is notable as the first manga Devil Fruit to reuse a name that had already belonged to a non-canon fruit, since a separate Nori Nori no Mi had appeared in a 2021 stage show.
