Name in Japanese (translation): Jippa Jippa No Mi (Zipper Zipper Fruit)
Capabilities: The Jippa Jippa No Mi allows the user to place functioning zippers on anything they touch and dismiss them at will. The zippers must be manipulated physically, and can be used by anyone once placed. In addition to creating openings for passing through or reaching into objects, the user can utilize zippers to attach and detach portions of objects without damaging them, however dismissing the zipper on an item affected in this manner will make the change permanent.
Type: Paramecia

Although this is a very cool idea, I'm not on board with the permanent change part. How about instead of that, whatever was unzipped reverts back after the zipper is dismissed?

I'm not entirely opposed to that, but can I ask why you think the permanent change would be a problem? (Maybe "permanent" wasn't the best word to use; combined or disassembled parts can still be reverted to their original state through mundane means, or even with another zipper.)

Well let's say you're fighting someones character and you unzip their head or something, then you take away the zipper and the character is forever headless (assuming it's a serious RP and not just for fun).

That's true, but consider that the character would have to approach the victim, run their hands along their entire neck (so that there's enough zipper to fully remove the head) and then grab the end of the zipper and unzip it. Which, in practical terms, would be impossible unless the other person decided to just stand there and let it happen to them.

You could do the same thing much more easily with a sword.
