Goro Goro no Mi

The **Goro Goro no Mi** is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants the power to create, control, and transform into lightning at will, making its user a **Lightning Human** (雷人間, *Kaminari Ningen*?). The fruit was eaten by Kaminari Raijin at some point before the start of the series.

## Etymology

* *Gorogoro* (ごろごろ・ゴロゴロ?) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the rumbling of thunder.
	+ *Gorogoro-sama* (ごろごろ様・ゴロゴロ様?) is also children's language to refer to thunder/lightning.
* In the Roleplay, the fruit is referred to as the **Lightning-Lightning Fruit** or the **Rumble-Rumble Fruit**. But it's interchangeable.

## Strengths

This Logia's power is to become lightning itself: to create, control, and transform into electricity. The user can discharge variable amounts of it from their body to manipulate as they please, including regulate the voltage. For the sake of the roleplay, the amount able to be discharged is in direct proportion to the strength of the user. The stronger they get, the higher their voltage will become. It has the maximum capacity to discharged up to 200 million volts of electricity. This is roughly the range of natural lightning. However at current, the current user, Raijin, can only output a maximum of 12 million volts, and 60 million volts with his strongest attack, **Raiju: Garmr**. Even by Logia standards, this ability seems remarkably strong given the sheer destructive power inherent to lightning.

Like any Logia type, the user can physically morph into their element. As pure lightning, they are intangible and can let most attacks(excluding Haki or Seastone based attacks) phase through them harmlessly. Enemies are dissuaded from directly striking the user—with their body or a conductive weapon—lest they be electrocuted, affording a melee-combat advantage. However those with Haki or Seastone based weapons are typically not dissuaded as they are not directly electrocuted when attacking the user. Instead the user must actually strike them with harmful intent for them to be electrocuted. By fully turning into electricity, the user can move several times faster, allowing them to zip into and out of sight, cross large distances near-instantaneously, easily dodge most attacks, and overtake any fleeing target. On top of that, the user can merge their lightning self with conductive materials (e.g., gold) to stealthily travel through them, as well as traverse thunderclouds. Thanks to their electrical immunity, the **Goro Goro no Mi**'s user can freely spawn electricity inside their body without repercussion; they can even enhance their cells to initiate a faster healing process should they suffer extreme damage.

While the **Goro Goro no Mi** user is a great threat up close seeing as they can electrically shock and burn people on contact, their electrocuting potential is not limited to close range, as they can conjure up vast amounts of electricity to launch as long-ranged blasts(or send through conductive surfaces, such as clouds), striking farer-off targets. These attacks can be shapeless masses of lightning, focused or spread out, be sent directly at opposition along a forward path, or made to crash down from above like natural lightning. Alternatively, the electricity can be given more distinct shapes, like animals. Beside lightning itself, the user may also produce thunderclaps, by superheating the air to make it expand at speeds that can get up the range of sound.

Should the **Goro Goro no Mi** user gain access to naturally or unnaturally formed thunderclouds in their vicinity, they can use said clouds to dramatically boost the range of their abilities. In some cases, it will even directly boost the power or potential of their voltage within a specific attack, at the cost of severely draining their stamina. Traveling through such storm clouds is likewise possible. Powering machinery that runs on electricity, is also possible.

The **Goro Goro no Mi** user's lightning abilities extend even to heat the air around them, causing them to have the potential to fire off fire blasts that have minimal heat. Similarly, they can affect electromagnetism on some level, affording a great deal of versatility through this single fruit. For instance, by channeling electricity into a metal like gold to heat, melt, and reshape, they can change the form of the metal. An example of such a thing is when Raijin channeled electricity into his Blade of Olympus. Otherwise, the user can pick up on and read electromagnetic waves, allowing them to hear everything going on in a specific range.

## Weaknesses

While extremely powerful, the **Goro Goro no Mi**'s ability does have a unique weakness in the form of rubber, which is an insulator. This makes the user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi the natural enemy of and counter to the **Goro Goro no Mi**'s user, as the former's body is completely rubber-made. It is unknown if other insulators have the same, if any, effect on Raijin's Logia form. Moreover, someone with their own ability to control lightning, like Rayne using her weapon Ogarashi, can deflect or channel the **Goro Goro no Mi** user's attacks, altering the lightning's path. When channeling it, they can even supercharge the lightning and make it stronger than the voltage it was sent at. Otherwise, this fruit's user suffers the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses, like losing their powers if submerged in water or contacting Seastone, and Busoshoku Haki negating their intangibility.

It is unknown what would happen if the user of the **Goro Goro no Mi** came into contact with the user of the **Mizu Mizu no Mi**.

## Usage

Raijin has split the abilities of the **Goro Goro no Mi** into several ways, including a fighting style called **Dance of Zeus**. In using that fighting style, Raijin channels electricity through his body in order to shock whatever he touches. This fighting style also grants him extra damage for his attacks, gives his opponents burns, and can potentially paralyze them. Unlike other ways of manipulating electricity from within bodies, Raijin is capable of upping the voltage in question when using this specific fighting style. When upping the voltage, the burns became much more severe, the damage is increased, and paralysis has a higher chance of kicking in or affecting his target longer. Using **Dance of Zeus**, Raijin can also channel his electricity through a weapon to increase his range with this fighting style. The weakness of this fighting style is it has a passive output of a set number of volts, at current being 400,000, and a maximum voltage number equivalent to the maximum volts Raijin can use typically(to any technique; not just through one technique).

### Techniques

Several of Raijin's techniques are named after what they do and might appear at, with some keeping names based on real world thunder and lightning deities. thunder and lightning entities from real-world mythologies. Furthermore, for some of his attacks, Raijin puts before their name a mention of how many volts they contain, indicating their level of power.

* **Bless of Hephaestus** (武器の精錬と強化（ヘパイストスブレシング）, *Hepaisutosu Bureshingu*?, literally meaning "Refine and Enhance Weaponry"): This technique is less of an attack move and more of a support move that Raijin invented to change weapons quickly in battle that he can alter with the **Goro Goro no Mi**. Raijin channels electricity into any types of metal that can be conducted, such as platinum, gold, stainless steel, titanium, and etc to superheat, melt, and then reshape it into anything he desires. He has recently only used this technique on the Blade of Olympus to reshape it as he saw fit. This technique was first used when Pancho told Raijin to be careful about swinging the Blade of Olympus on The (Sailing) Pantheon. In response to that, Raijin stated he could control its output and reshaped it into a different shape after getting permission from Pancho. This technique is considered **Stage 2**.

* **Graceful Lightning** (虹色の稲妻（グレースフルライトニング）, *Gurēsufuru Raitoningu*?, literally meaning "Rainbow Lightning"): Raijin points his hand forward and gathers up lightning around his hands and from within his body. Then, Raijin points a sword, typically the Blade of Olympus into the sky and channels the lightning into it. Optionally he points his hand up into the sky. By manipulating the lightnings colors on the light spectrum, manipulating the lightning so it alters in light and increases in voltage. By doing so, he fires off a lightning bolt with a rainbow of colors toward his opponent. This move temporarily elevates his maximum Voltage by 1.5x for the attack. This technique was first used in preparation for his **Raiju** attack.

* **Godspeed** (電光石火（ゴッドスピード）, *Goddosupīdo*?, literally meaning "Lightning Speed"): This technique is one of Raijin's signature techniques that he uses not just for movement, but while also in combat. By transforming his body into lightning or speeding up his cells at once, Raijin is able to triple his speed. If covering any short distance, it’ll appear like he was teleporting. This technique can be also applied into something, such as if he was to flip a coin. In doing so, the coin would move three times faster, producing a shockwave and sometimes the sound of thunder would be heard as well. This technique was first used against an unnamed Palm Tree Pirate to deliver an instantaneous punch, that ended up sending the unnamed Pirate flying. This technique is considered **Stage 2**.
	+ **Volt Blitz** (電動タックルのオーラ（ヴォルトブリッツ）, *Vu~orutoburittsu*?, literally meaning "Electrical Aura Tackle"): Raijin has Rayne use Ogarashi to fire a Thunder Breeze at him, which when it connects he turns the electricity into an armor around himself. Optionally, Raijin can expel lightning around his body and expel extra stamina to achieve the same result. Then, he uses **Godspeed** to send himself hurdling toward his target. When he makes contact, he releases all the electricity at once and discharges it to send his opponent flying back. The remaining electricity goes from target to target until it has no more conductors. This technique was first used against Caspar. This technique can be considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **Isogu** (壁で走る（急ぐ）, *Isogu*?, literally meaning "Run on the Wall"): After activating **Godspeed**, Raijin begins to run up and on a wall, maintaining his speed. This technique essentially allows Raijin to walk as if he was on solid ground but on the side of the wall, or wall-like structure. Raijin first used this technique to run on top of Bane after he had turned into a giant. This technique can be considered **Stage 1**.
		- **Rumbles in the Sky** (飛んで落ちて（ランブルズいんのスカイ）, *Ranburuzu in no sukai*?, literally meaning "Fly and Fall"): After running up a wall or wall-like structure with **Isogu**, Raijin leaps off it and fires electricity beneath his body to temporarily maintain himself in the air. Then, he lets gravity pull himself down as he points a weapon, typically the Blade of Olympus, toward his target. This technique was first used in preparation for **Smite**. This technique can be considered **Stage 1**.
			* **Smite** (剣貫通（スマイト）, *Sumaito*?, literally meaning "Sword Penetration"): After falling from the sky thanks to **Rumbles in the Sky,** Raijin lets his sword pierce into his opponent before releasing several million volts of lightning from the sword. This technique was first used against Bane. This technique can be considered **Stage 1**.

* **Thor's Wrath** (ドーンと響く雷と衝撃波（トールさラールス）, *Tōrusa Rārusu*?, literally meaning "Shockwaves with the Sound of Thunder"): This technique is a frequently used technique of Raijin's that allows him to produce shockwaves and thunder booms. Raijin uses this technique by releasing a sound from his body, typically represented by a snap, though it could be any way he produces a sound. Then, the sound is echoed thanks to air molecules being moved around around where the sound was produced. The louder the source of the sound, the stronger the technique is. On occasion, the technique has enough power to do anything from deafening someone to sending them flying by the force of the shockwave. This technique was first used when against an unnamed Palm Tree Pirate to send him flying just before his attack could connect against Raijin. This technique is considered **Stage 2**.

* **Divine Senses** (電流の感覚（ディバインセンス）, *Dibain Sensu*?, literally meaning "Sensing Electrical Currents"): This technique is the most frequently used support technique in Raijin's arsenal. By becoming attuned with the electromagnetic waves in the air, Raijin can hear anything around him up to several miles away as if he was there. With this sense, he’s capable of pinpointing someone, knowing what people are talking about and know what’s around him, and incapable of being surprised or sneak attacked. This technique was first used to listen in when three Palm Tree Pirates walked into Alchuss Al's bar on Goto Island in order to hear what they were conversing about. This technique is considered **Stage 3**.

* **Zeus Thunderbolt** (師匠落雷（ゼウスサンダーボルト）, *Zeusu Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "Master Lightning Bolt"): This technique is the most frequently used offensive technique in Raijin's arsenal. It is also the technique Raijin has several variants of, even if they are just different Volts within the lightning. Raijin performs this technique by changing the air molecules in the air and electrifying them, creating a bolt of Lightning. Then, he grabs and or throws it toward his opponent. If it were to hit a person, it’ll give them burns and paralysis. Interestingly, if it does not hit the intended target, the lightning bolt simply produces Thunder and disappears on contact. The technique is chargeable up to Raijin's maximum voltage, that being at current 4,000,000 Volts. The charge time at one point was extremely long, but has since been significantly reduced. This technique was first used against an unnamed Palm Tree Pirate. This technique is considered **Stage 3**.
	+ **100,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (10万（十万） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *Jūban Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "100,000 Volts of Lightning"): Raijin releases the quickest Lightning Bolt he can toward his target with a charge of 100,000 Volts. This technique was first used against an unnamed Palm Tree Pirate. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **500,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (50万（五十万） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *Gojūman Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "500,000 Volts of Lightning/Half a Million Volt Lightning"): Raijin releases a slightly slower but average Lightning Bolt toward his target with a charge of 500,000 Volts. This technique was first used against Caspar after activating **Godspeed** and dodging an attack. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **1,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (100万（ミリオン） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *Mirion Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "Million Volt Lightning"): Raijin releases a twelfth of his maximum Volt Thunderbolt, slower than the previous variant but almost three times stronger. This thunderbolt has 1,000,000 Volts. This technique was first used against "Boar" Grimsbane's **Silver Boar** attack. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **4,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (400万（四ミリオン） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *Shi Mirion Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "Four Million Volts of Lightning"): Raijin releases a third of his maximum volt thunderbolt at a target, taking longer than all previous incarnations to charge but being way faster and stronger. However, this is 4 times stronger than the previous one, and can be supercharged through outside Lightning to make it even stronger without changing the initial volts. This thunderbolt has a voltage of 4,000,000 Volts. This technique was first used against Caspar and Bukwin after Rayne supercharged him with Thunder Breezes. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **8,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (800万（エイトミリオン） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *Eitomirion Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "Eight Million Volts of Lightning"): Raijin releases a two-thirds of his maximum volt thunderbolt at a target, taking longer than all previous incarnations to charge but being way faster and stronger. However, this is twice as strong as the previous version, and can be supercharged through outside Lightning to make it even stronger without changing the initial voltage. This thunderbolt has a voltage of 8,000,000 Volts. This technique was first used against Bane. This technique can be considered **Stage 1**.
	+ **12,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt** (1,200万（トゥウェヘルブミリオン） 電圧（ヴァルト） 落雷（サンダーボルト）, *To~uu~eherubu mirion Vu~aruto Sandāboruto*?, literally meaning "Twelve Million Volts of Lightning"): Similar to all other Thunderbolt attacks, this one just uses 12,000,000 Volts instead of any other voltage as it's initial charge. It is the current strongest **Zeus Thunderbolt** attack Raijin can do, but also the slowest to charge up. It was first used against Bane. This is Raijin's current maximum voltage. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Lightning Landmines** (爆発する稲妻の火の粉（ライトニングランドメイン）, *Raitoningurandomein*?, literally meaning "Explosive Lightning Sparks"): This technique covers a medium area, and is one of Raijin's more support techniques. Raijin changes the electrical currents in the air to create small landmines of electricity, dropping dozens of them to the ground. They then can be remotely set off to cause a change reaction of electric explosions, or when touched they will be set off. This technique uses about 30,000 Volts per Land Mine. This technique was first used to set up a barrier so the Olympian Dreamer Pirates could sleep inside the cave, and have a basic line of defense incase someone tried to get them. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Electric Recovery** (身体の癒し（エレックトリックリカバリー）, *Erekkutorikku Rikabarī*?, literally meaning "Physically Healing"): This technique is the only one of Raijin's capable of healing himself to some degree. While it's not extremely effective and cannot be activated in combat, it is a technique that starts the healing process in his body. Raijin uses electricity to speed up his cells division process to increase their hormones and nutrients by absorbing the electrons in the air. Then, with the absorbed electrons it stimulates the molecules in the cells, causing cells to split and repair themselves. The electricity can also provide him some energy to reduce fatigue, restart the heart, or repair potential brain damage. However, this requires intense concentration which prevents it from being active in combat as of this moment. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **God's Judgement** (神の裁き（ゴードジャッジメント）, *Gōdojajjimento*?, literally meaning "Judgement of God"): By using the Blade of Olympus, Raijin can channel his lightning into it and fire it high into the sky. The lightning gathers above his target in a cluster, which he can freely redirect, though typically down. After the lightning is gathered into a cluster above his target, Raijin changes the electromagnetic conditions of the air to start supporting a massive thunderbolt. In doing so, a massive beam of lightning is produced, which Raijin can redirect anywhere, though typically down, to the target. This covers a wide area and leaves behind massive shockwaves. This technique was first used by Raijin after getting supercharged by Rayne's Thunder Breeze's, wherein he used it to take down two Giants and 8 Trove Pirates. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Wind and Lightning** (稲妻のトルネード（ウィンドアーンドライトニング）, *U~indoāndoraitoningu*?, literally meaning "Tornado of Lightning"): Rayne uses Ogarashi to fire off several Heat Breeze and Cool Breeze into the sky, allowing them to crash into each other and explode. Noticing this, Raijin begins charging up his electricity and waits for a massive storm cloud to brew overhead. Then, Rayne uses Ogarashi to create a Tornado from the storm cloud that comes crashing toward her target. To finish the technique, Raijin fires a **Thunderbolt** into the stormcloud, which comes crashing down on the Tornado giving it an ethereal white glow. In doing so the entire Tornado becomes a massive amount of electrical winds with the appearance of a Tornado. This technique was first used against Caspar and Bukwin after the latter irritated Rayne by calling her a Witch. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Raijū** (稲妻の竜（雷獣）, *Raijū*?, literally meaning "Dragon of Lightning"): Raijin has Rayne use Ogarashi to fire off several Heat Breeze and Cool Breeze into the sky, allowing them to crash into each other and explode. After the sky grows dark and a massive storm cloud brews overheard, Raijin lets his body spark with 4,000,000 Volts of electricity. He then fires it into the air and right into the storm cloud, causing it to crackle and turn into a thunder cloud(cumulonimbus). Afterward, Raijin uses **Graceful Lightning** to fire off a rainbow colored into the storm cloud to increase the voltage in the already brewing Thunder Cloud. It begins raining, and Raijin releases sparks of electricity from his hand, causing the Storm Cloud to form a massive lightning dragon. Then, he brings his hand down and the Dragon follows suit right toward the intended target with 5x the current maximum voltage. In its debut appearance, **Raijū** had a voltage of 20,000,000. This leaves Raijin heavily drained and is a one and done move. In its debut appearance, Raijin used this attack to kill Bukwin and completely knock Caspar unconscious. The destruction left behind in its wake causes a massive explosion and crater. This technique is considered **Stage 2**.
	+ **Raijū: Garmr** (稲妻獣（雷獣）: 狼（ガルムル）, *Raijū: Garumuru*?, literally meaning "Wolf Lightning Beast"): Raijin has Rayne use Ogarashi to fire off several Heat Breeze and Cool Breeze into the sky, allowing them to crash into each other and explode. After the sky grows dark and a massive storm cloud brews overheard, Raijin lets his body spark with 12,000,000 Volts of electricity. He then fires it into the air and right into the storm cloud, causing it to crackle and turn into a thunder cloud(cumulonimbus). Afterward, Raijin uses **Graceful Lightning** to fire off a rainbow colored into the storm cloud to increase the voltage in the already brewing Thunder Cloud. Instead of letting it rain, Raijin quickly uses the electricity in the cloud and quickly activates his **Thunder Beast** attack. After its activation, he shapes the lightning into a dog, releasing sparks from his hand before bringing it down. In doing so, the dog follows suit right toward the intended target with 5x the current maximum voltage. In its debut appearance, **Raijū: Garmr** had a voltage of 60,000,000. This attack was enough to kill Candle 1, which it did in its debut. Interestingly, this technique is much more focused, turning the excess Destructive Capacity into Attack Potency to further increase its offensive power. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Aegis** (伝導雷の盾（アイギス）, *Aigisu*?, literally meaning "Conductive Lightning Shield"): Raijin's strongest natural defense, wherein he generates his maximum voltage of lightning as a shield in front of him. After moving his hand in a circular motion, the lightning conducts following the initial circular pattern as a thin outline. It then rapidly expands and fills in the rest of the outline to make it a full circle of lightning as he fires lightning from his fingertips into it. The shield generated is strong enough to take on and stop a Haki infused attack by Bane, who it was first used against. When someone comes into physical contact with it, they are electrocuted. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

* **12,000,000 Volt Sceptre** (千二百万ボルトの剣（トゥウェヘルブミリオンセプター）, *To~uu~eherubumirion Seputā*?, literally meaning "Sword Channeling Twelve Million Volts"): Raijin channels his **12,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt** into his Blade of Olympus, slamming it against his opponent. In doing so, the Blade of Olympus releases several explosions on the point of impact that is amplified by 12,000,000 times, creating a very powerful destructive force. This technique was first used to finish off Bane after having released a devastating combination of attacks. This technique is considered **Stage 1**.

## History

### Past

The **Goro Goro no Mi** was previously captured and in the hands of the Palm Tree Pirates, who were going to give it to Big Mom for some unknown reason. However, one day Raijin took the fruit and consumed it, thus preventing Big Mom from acquiring it.

## Roleplay and Official Medium Differences

* Raijin is able to create a myriad of lightning colors while the Anime and Mangas Goro Goro no Mi generates either Light Blue or Yellow based on the medium.
* Raijin cannot use the full 200,000,000 voltage immediately, unlike Eneru, who can.
	+ During the Goto Island Arc, Raijin was locked to only 1,000,000 Volts.
	+ During the North Blue War Arc, Raijin expanded his maximum voltage to 4,000,000 Volts thanks to Rayne's boosts, but by the time of the Polarhaven Arc, managed to use it by himself.
	+ During the Shadows of the North Blue roleplay event, Raijin developed his maximum voltage up to 12,000,000 Volts.
