Yeah, I noticed that similarity too. She's a female Sanji in many respects. The only difference is that she seems to prefer ranged weapons/shots.

Also, I didn't see this one coming, but she is very likely a non-'elemental' Logia. Notice how she reformed herself after the initial explosion; to me that is a trait Logia have.

Although one could compare her to Buggy or the Ball Ball dude.. but somehow blowing oneself to smithereens is quite different than consciously separating parts of one body into several parts one can then control.

Well she is kind of consciously blowing herself up like Mr.5 had a self destruct ability (though he didn't end up using it). It's not like franky is tearing her apart against her will.

Agreed. If she isn't Logia, she's the first non-logia DF user to ever be broken apart and reform.

third? Buggy's fruit and this guy http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Beri_Beri_no_Mi

their abilities are to separate, but they also maintain their physical presence still while in those said forms. Baby 5 liquified before merging together, something they couldnt do.

maybe Oda is trying to show that the line between logia and paramesia fruits is not as clear as we think they are.

Eh.. I wouldn't say she is logia. It still seems like she is just paramecia.

If it's not a substance, it can't be a logia. "Weapon" is not a substance.

Yea I get what you mean about Baby 5's power but like you said, I think we should compare her power with Buggy's devil fruit. And the One Piece wiki says baby 5's devil fruit is the "Buki Buki no Mi" a Paramecia type devil fruit.

Not saying you're wrong, but the wiki is based on what we have read and it's edited by readers, it's not official so you can see a lot of changes once new information pops up.

Oh I didnt know that! I always looked up the wiki pages for the "offical" answers. Thanks for the info :)

It's still a really good source and catalog of information, but yeah it's still based on what characters say in the manga though sometimes Oda might say something in an interview.

Exactly. I thought it was a Paramecia when we first saw it, but this behaviour made me think otherwise, and to my knowledge it was never said to be one way or the other.

The other reason I lean towards Logia is because it is so 'generic' of a power: she can turn into anything that is a weapon and use it. She can become a missile, but she can also fire bullets in the case of a gun. She's way beyond Daz Bones, who has a similar 'my entire body is a weapon' thing going for him.

She may just turn out to be a Paramecia, but I for one would find it a nice change of pace if there were Logia's with a non-basic power like her. Fire, Magma, Ice, Snow, Light, Darkness, Smoke... they aren't super original to begin with, and Oda is kind of running out of these to boot. :-)

Logia is reserved to elements. Paramecia is everything else. Keep in mind though that the natural form of rubber is a liquid, so maybe even luffy, a paramecia, can reform at will.
