Sabi Sabi no Mi

The Sabi Sabi no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to cause metallic items to rust and break, making the user a . It was eaten by Marine Captain Shu.
==Etymology==
* means "rust" in Japanese.
*In the Viz manga and Funimation dub, it is called the Rust-Rust Fruit.
==Strengths and Weaknesses==
The primary ability of the fruit, so far seen, is that the user is able to rust metallic weapons such as swords through touch, causing it to break apart. Doing so gives the user somewhat of an advantage against sword-wielding opponents.
In terms of weaknesses, it has the standard fruit weaknesses and can't protect from fiery projectiles, as Usopp easily beat Shu in spite of Shu's advantage over Zoro.
In the anime, it has been shown the powers of the fruit give the user a permanent defense against swords and other metal weapons. A sword simply touching the user's body will immediately rust and disintegrate before a cut can be made. It has also been shown in the anime that the powers of the fruit can also affect the human body.
However, if used on a living thing, the rusting effect seems to be reversible for as long as it does not entirely oxidize the entity in question, since Zoro was seen reverting quickly back to normal after Shu's grip on him was thrown off by Usopp's projectile. In addition, it seems that there is a limit to how much metal the user can handle, as Shu was easily knocked away by a large metal colossus controlled by Douglas Bullet. Other than all that, the user is also susceptible to the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
==Usage==
The fruit's bestowed powers, as used by Shu, have so far been used for both defensive and offensive purposes. Shu has used the powers of the fruit to rust the Yubashiri of Zoro after catching it in his bare hands. He was then able to destroy the sword almost instantaneously.
==Anime and Manga Differences==
In the anime, this ability causes the rusted metal to disintegrate instead of falling apart. Also, Shu was able to use the powers to involuntarily defend against one of Zoro's attacks with a cutlass. Right after that, Shu demonstrated that he was also able to use the powers as an attack on living targets, which is also not in the manga; by touching Zoro's arm, Shu was able to rust Zoro's flesh. Fortunately, Shu was knocked out by one of Usopp's attacks before Zoro's body could become completely covered in rust. After being separated from Shu, Zoro's body was able to return to normal.
