Name in Japanese (translation): Snake Snake Fruit, Model: Diamondback
Capabilities: Grants the eater the power to change between three different forms including their normal state, a diamondback rattlesnake, and a hybrid form.
While in snake form, the user is equivalent in length to their normal form’s height, even though diamondbacks tend to be smaller than grown humans on average. However, when in hybrid form, the user takes the shape of a colossal naga based life form. Having a body similar to a scaled human with fangs, but instead of legs, they have a giant snake tail with a rattle tip. Like many zoans, this hybrid form is greatly exaggerated in size, causing the user to grow 3, 4, or even 5 times their normal. The user also gains incredible flexibility when in their snake or hybrid form, able to bend and contort in ways normally impossible or even crippling for humans, without suffering injury.
Like a diamondback, the user’s bite is poisonous and can kill if an antidote is not administered or if the poison is not extracted in time. In snake form, normally the poison can take several hours to effectively kill its victim if they are calm and resting, but if they are especially active, such as constantly moving or even in mid battle, this can accelerate the lethal effects due to their increased blood circulation speed, accelerating death to within 30 rounds. Luckily, there is nothing supernatural about their poison and it can be cured with the same varieties of medicines and antidotes that ordinary snake venom is vulnerable to. So any clinic or hospital should be able to help survivors.
While in hybrid form, their bite is poisonous as well, and capable of injecting huge quantities of the venom, although because of their size, its quite likely an attempt to bite anyone not roughly half their size or larger would result with impaling a victim, rather than infecting them.
Type: Zoan
Weakness: The user feels an instinctive compulsion to alert victims with their rattle before they strike. This instinct comes from their rattlesnake nature when transformed. This makes catching enemies off guard impossible, since they always warn them ahead of time.
