Saint Killingham, a member of the World Nobles in One Piece and part of the God’s Knights, possesses the formidable Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. This fruit grants him the ability to transform into a Qilin, a mythical single-horned creature from Chinese mythology, and wields unique powers that significantly impact the ongoing Elbaf arc.
What Is Saint Killingham’s Devil Fruit in One Piece?
Belonging to the prestigious Rimoshifu family, Saint Killingham attained the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin Devil Fruit, enabling him to assume the majestic form of the Qilin. This Mythical Zoan-type fruit not only allows him to transform physically but also grants him potent supernatural abilities that influence his opponents in battle.
One of Killingham’s primary abilities is inducing sleep in targets at any distance, an effect that disrupts enemy combatants significantly. Additionally, he can extract the dreams of those asleep and manifest them into reality, a power he used to unleash the nightmares of giant children upon the nation of Elbaf. These capabilities place the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin among the most powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits known in the series.
Killingham Devil Fruit’s Powers and Abilities
The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin provides Killingham a range of strengths and weaknesses that define his combat potential and limitations.
Strengths
- Transformation into a mythical beast with the ability to maintain a hybrid human-beast form, consistent with other Zoan users.
- Ability to induce sleep in targets remotely, disrupting their actions in battle.
- Capacity to extract and manifest the dreams of sleeping individuals into tangible entities.
- The manifested creatures, known as MMA, are effectively immortal and can be resurrected repeatedly by Killingham.
- Exclusive authority to awaken those who have been put to sleep, maintaining control over his victims.
Weaknesses
- The sleep effect has a limited duration, requiring strategic use.
- The power and strength of the manifested creatures depend on the intensity and nature of the target’s dreams, which can vary.
Devil Fruit Awakening and Hybrid Form of Killingham
Killingham debuted in his full mythical beast form, accompanied by a distinctive cloud around his neck, indicating his Devil Fruit has reached the awakened stage. The Qilin, symbolizing good fortune in mythology, contrasts with Killingham’s initial goofy appearance, hinting at deeper narrative layers.
However, the latest developments in chapter 1151 reveal a fearsome hybrid form of Killingham, merging human and beastly features with a menacing visage reminiscent of characters like Madam Shyarly and Dellinger. This hybrid form underscores his strength and solidifies his role as a formidable opponent, capable of contending with the giant warriors of Elbaf without signs of fatigue despite sustaining his nightmare manifestations.
Killingham’s evolved hybrid form and awakened abilities demonstrate his mastery over the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, making him a pivotal figure in the current storyline. Observers anticipate further revelations of his powers in upcoming chapters.
