Considering the three types of Devil Fruits that have been explained are:

  1. Paramecia Type - where the user can get superhuman abilities and change their body parts into weapons, etc.
  2. Zoan type - where the user can turn into a particular animal and inherit its abilities
  3. Logia Type - where the user's body inherits a particular element and the body becomes like air which cannot be touched or damaged by non-Haki users.

So what exactly is the type of Gomu Gomu no Mi?

It cannot be Zoan or Logia. It's very close to a Paramecia but still doesn't
have a logical explanation to be of Paramecia type. So is it some special type
of Devil Fruit?

question
one-piece
What class of Devil Fruit does the Gomu Gomu no Mi come under?


From the [wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Gomu_Gomu_no_Mi).

> The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a **_Paramecia-type_** Devil Fruit that enables the
> user's body to stretch like rubber, making the user a Rubber Human.

You further ask..

> It's very close to a Paramecia but still doesn't have a logical explanation
> to be of Paramecia type!

Again from the [wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Paramecia).

> Paramecia is one of the three Devil Fruit types. **_These fruits give the
> users a power that can affect their body_** , manipulate the environment, or
> produce substances. In general, Paramecia Devil Fruits are fruits that give
> their users powers other than transforming into elements, like Logias, or
> transforming into animals, like Zoans.

I see the classifications as this:

  * Logia: Turns your body into some sort of energy
  * Zoan: Transforms you into an animal/legendary thing
  * Paramecia: **THE REST**

So is it Logia? NO. Is it Zoan? NO. Then it is a Paramecia.

It is mentioned on other websites then the wiki that it could be considered
Logia. One of these examples is that Paramecia types can turn on and off,
allowing changes of a person. The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a Devil Fruit which makes
one like a rubber, permanently. You can not stop being rubber after congesting
it. Meaning, it has traits of a Logia. It also comes along with the benefits
that rubber has which is stretching, no blunt damage (without Haki), and no
damage from electricity, and you could consider rubber an element.

Luffy is a special Paramecia like Katakuri, or he is a special Logia like
Black Beard.

Reasons: for special Paramecia, Luffy is permanently rubber, Katakuri is
permanently mochi, they both have abilities uncannily similar to a Logia and a
Paramecia. Also, I'm pretty sure it was stated that gomu is a weaker version
of mochi. The only reason Luffy won is because Luffy is in his prime and
Katakuri isn't, and Luffy was more creative. But if that wasn't stated, gomu
might actually be the superior version because he hasn't awakened gomu and
still beat Katakuri.

Reasons: for special Logia like Black Beard, because rubber is a natural
element but Luffy can't go intangible with it like Black Beard can't with
yami, and gomu's awakening might be giving him the intangibility of rubber
tree sap.

But also, if it is like that, it could still be a special Paramecia because
Katakuri is, but maybe before his awakening, he was like tangible stretchy
dough, but who knows.

Luffy is a special paramecia that is half logia, half paramecia. The only
reason that he is classified paramecia is due to one fact, rubber isn't a
natural element.

At this point everyone knows that luffy actually has a human human devil fruit
like chopper. The mythical type is that of someone who had a rubber body; much
like chopper will always revert to his default mix between reindeer and human;
not his original reindeer form. Meaning that no matter how much sea prism
stone luffy is subjected to he will always retained the rubber quality(this is
counter to Logia types). As we have seen during the Nami arc when they
stretched his head out of the water (seriously how strong are his lung to get
oxygen from such a small straw?), but we see the mochi fruit revert once water
is applied.

I kind of wonder that if Garp didn’t train him to an extreme level that he
would have transformed much sooner; like Marcos with the phoenix. Maybe garp
even knew about the fake name and tried to mislead him the whole time?

I digress don quixote had a paramecia type because he could make strings out
of anything and could produce an exact clone with strings but in the end all
his strings could do to his own body was to hold his organs together while he
healed. Could he have left his consciousness in one of his string clones?
Maybe but he wouldn’t have conqueror's if he would dilute his ruler’s linage
(I wonder if he had more of a scientific mind he could have connected his
strings to strings to the fabric of the universe: string theory. He could have
controlled reality itself).

Katakuri’s mochi powers are logia because his whole body turns is into mochi
and doesn’t experience damage unless sea prism or Haki is applied. This is the
first time we get to see a logia cover their ability in Haki.

The idea that mochi doesn’t come from nature is so dumb. It’s 100 percent a
natural substance just like tree gum. We wouldn’t have in-organic rubbers if
these things where never found in nature.
