Overview

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.

Mechanics

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.

Notable Users

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.
