Oh yes, that would have been amazing too! I'd love to see Bepo using some kind of speed based or wind based or even some kind of force/martial art related DF or something. But for something to compliment his Sulong hmmm....maybe some kind of DF that could let him activate Sulong at will somehow or even create a fake moon to trigger it? Kinda like Baby or Vegeta or w/e did in Dragonball GT IIRC?
I've always wanted to see a DF like this especially for an Orange themed Admiral but hell, I'd be glad for Bepo to have it if possible:
🐻 The Kinetic Engine: Dō-ka Dō-ka no Mi (Kinetic-Kinetic Fruit) ⚡
The Ultimate Synergy for Sulong Bepo
The Dō-ka Dō-ka no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to absorb, build up, and store energy from movement, acting like a perfect conversion system for kinetic energy (motion) into potential energy (stored force). This effectively turns the user into a living, rechargeable engine for combat.
⚙️ Fruit Type: Paramecia
💥 Power: Kinetic Energy Storage and Release
Core Ability: The Kinetic Engine
The fruit's primary function is Kinetic Stacking. Every move Bepo makes—every dash, jump, block, and strike—is converted into a massive reserve of stored, invisible force.
Sulong Amplification: The Sulong transformation, with its sudden, colossal output of speed, muscle, and Electro, acts as a super-charger for the fruit. Bepo can enter Sulong and immediately stockpile an astronomical amount of energy, making his brief powered state a resource he can use even after it ends.
Named Techniques with Sulong Synergy
1. Kinetic Echo: Polar Force Bomb (Offense)
A devastating technique that delivers an internal blast of stored force, bypassing external durability.
Ability: Bepo strikes an opponent with a physical, Electro-charged Sulong punch. Immediately after the physical impact, he releases the stored potential energy as a powerful, secondary, delayed shockwave.
Effect: The strike is a crushing one-two combo of physical trauma followed by pure concussive force, often causing internal collapse.
2. Friction Dash: Arctic Slipstream (Speed & Mobility)
This ability manipulates friction to enhance Bepo's already incredible Sulong speed and movement.
Effect: By releasing a controlled burst of energy, Bepo nullifies friction and air resistance around him, allowing his Sulong charge to become an instantaneous, silent flash-step that covers vast distances almost instantly. He becomes an untraceable, electrified blur.
3. Kinetic Shield: Glacial Deflection (Defense & Support)
This provides Bepo with an invaluable, instantaneous defense that can protect his crew.
Execution: Bepo releases a controlled, spherical burst of his stored potential energy outward.
Effect: This creates a temporary, invisible Kinetic Shield. Any incoming force (like a bullet or powerful punch) that hits the shield is met with an equal and opposite force, instantly stopping it dead or violently repelling it back at the attacker.
4. Kinetic Discharge: Overclock Reversal (Fatigue Mitigation)
This is the most crucial utility, directly countering Sulong's debilitating weakness: exhaustion.
Ability: By sacrificing a substantial portion of his stored kinetic energy, Bepo can metabolically stabilize his body, effectively repelling the extreme fatigue that accompanies the end of the Sulong transformation. This allows him to recover almost instantly and keep fighting, massively extending his combat longevity.
I'd also love to see Minks using Rokushiki and combining Electro and Sulong together too. Funnily enough when Oda revealed Lunarians manipulating fire and King willing to fight in any way possible and even using slicing shockwavees, I expected him to ironically throw out some flaming kick shockwaves, as Sanji should be doing by now instead sigh lol.
