Mr. 4’s favorite gun · Dachshund-shaped bazooka · ate the Mutt-Mutt Fruit (Inu Inu no Mi, Model Dachshund — Zoan)
Profile
Lassoo is the dachshund-shaped bazooka belonging to Mr. 4. The bazooka was originally an inanimate weapon; per Ms. Merry Christmas’s exposition (Ch. 184 pp. 8-9): ‘On the Grand Line, even inanimate objects can eat Devil Fruits!’ Lassoo ate the Mutt-Mutt Fruit, Dachshund type (Inu Inu no Mi, Model Dachshund) — a Zoan-type DF that turned the bazooka into a living dog-shaped artillery-piece. Lassoo can move on its own (sniffs, weeps, sneezes), and has a slight cold — its sneezing is the firing-mechanism for the bazooka’s projectile (a baseball / time-bomb cannonball).
Characterization (Ch. 184 install)
- Caption-debut: LASSOO — MR. 4’S FAVORITE GUN (HAS A SLIGHT COLD) (p. 3).
- Cold-and-sneeze firing mechanism: the MATCHOO!!! sneeze (p. 4) is the propellant-action for the bazooka’s payload.
- Independent biological behavior: weeps (GLOB, p. 3), sniffs (sniff sniff, p. 11), pops up out of the dust-cloud (POP, p. 11), reacts emotionally — full Zoan-tier independent behavior.
