Zou Zou no Mi
Zoan (sword-borne — inference) · current: Funkfreed · named on-page Ch. 400
Profile
The Elephant-Elephant Fruit (VIZ caption, Ch. 400 p. 6) is the Devil Fruit eaten by Funkfreed, Spandam’s elephant. It animates the creature as a living “Elephant Sword” — Funkfreed transforms between elephant and a great sword that Spandam wields. Captioned on-page only as “Elephant Sword FUNKFREED (Elephant-Elephant Fruit)”; the original Japanese name (Zou Zou no Mi) is not printed this chapter. Inference (not stated on-page): classified here as a sword-borne Zoan based on the elephant↔sword transformation shown; the formal fruit name/typing is databook canon, not on-page. Cross-link Funkfreed, Spandam, CP9.

Power limits & weaknesses
- (Standard Devil-Fruit sea/water immobilization is universal — no fruit-specific weakness shown @0400.)
Lore & theories
- A sword-borne Zoan is unusual: the fruit was eaten by (or fed to) an inanimate-adjacent object/animal, so the “user” is the weapon-creature itself. The on-page reveal is the prop-tell payoff of Funkfreed the Elephant-Sword — Spandam’s conspicuously-named “pet” was a planted weapon.
- Not to be confused with Zou Zou no Mi, Model Mammoth — Jack’s Ancient Zoan (“an ancient model of the Eleph-Eleph Fruit,” Ch. 810), a distinct fruit sharing the 象 zou basename. This (Funkfreed’s) is the regular elephant Zoan; Jack’s is the ancient/mammoth model.
