Wapu Wapu no Mi

Classed as a Paramecia, this fruit was consumed by the sniper Van Augur. Its Japanese name draws on wapu, a phonetic rendering of the English word warp, and it is titled the Warp-Warp Fruit in translation. The ability first appeared when Augur put it to use in combat, and he is said to have obtained it as one prize of the Blackbeard Pirates hunting down Devil Fruits.

What the fruit grants is instantaneous movement. Its holder can blink from one spot to another without crossing the space between, and by making contact with a person, that individual can be sent along too. Range depends heavily on skill: an untrained user is confined to short jumps, and practice widens the reach over time, though whether the limit can be erased entirely remains open. Reaction speed matters as well, since the user has to register an incoming blow before warping clear of it, which leaves faster or surprise attacks able to land first. Beyond that and the ordinary Devil Fruit drawbacks, its shortcomings are not yet clear.

Van Augur is the sole holder. In practice he leans on the fruit to sidestep close fighting and hold his long-range edge, jumping his whole crew from a vessel onto an island during a chase, plucking a falling ally out of the air, and slipping away from opponents. His signature application, simply called Warp, is the plain act of relocating, first named at Winner Island, where he blinked through the air to reach Blackbeard. He continues to train toward mastering the power. The teleportation echoes Trafalgar Law's Shambles, though Law's version is capped by his ROOM and forces a swap, whereas this fruit shows no such restriction so far.
