Overview

This Paramecia power lets its user shoot rays that briefly bog down whatever they hit, making the consumer a Noroma Human. Foxy the Silver Fox ate it. The fruit's name comes from noro noro, the Japanese sound-word for any slow or sluggish motion, while noroma translates to slowpoke. Localized releases dub it the Slow-Slow Fruit. Its effect revolves around purple light beams that Foxy claims carry particles science has yet to fully grasp.

Mechanics

The fruit emits beams of Noroma Photons, which decelerate anything in their path for exactly thirty seconds, whether a person, an object, or even open space. During that window the user is free to act on the frozen target however they please. A cannonball, normally swift and explosive, can become a floating perch to stand on once slowed. More viciously, any blows landed on a slowed victim store their kinetic force, which then unleashes all at once the instant normal speed resumes, amplifying the damage. Because the photons are light, mirrors reflect them, opening up surprise angles of attack, yet that same trait can be turned against the user, who enjoys no immunity to their own beams and will be slowed if exposed. Disabling the user's arms appears enough to stop further firing. In the anime the beams only affect a patch roughly their own width, leaving gaps in coverage. Foxy supplements the raw power with gadgets and contraptions, producing techniques such as the rapid-but-delayed punch barrage Kyubi Rush and its stronger Megaton form, the cannon-fed Foxy Face Bombs, the Mirror Racket reflection trick, and the whip-like Noro Noro Beam Sword that can shackle an opponent's limbs.

Notable Users

Foxy is the fruit's only user, employing it mainly to cheat his way through the Davy Back Fight by slowing rivals during races and immobilizing them in combat. His reliance on the trick became his undoing whenever foes reflected the beams or forced him to fire on himself, as Luffy did with a hidden mirror and Robin engineered in the anime. Non-canon material expands his arsenal with moves like the dual-handed Double Noro Noro Beam, the mirror-ball Senju Kannon variant, and Mashi Mashi, which stacks multiple beams to halt a target almost completely.
