Dino Dino no Mi, Model: Archaeopteryx

The Dino Dino no Mi, Model: Archaeopteryx is an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit that was eaten by "Jurassic Sword" Sage.

Appearance
The Dino Dino no Mi, Model: Archaeopteryx looks like a blue grapefruit with yellow swirls.

Usage
Sage mostly his his hybrid form in combination with his sword skills. Because of the massive boost in speed that this Devil Fruit gives the user, Sage can quickly outmaneuver opponents to gain the upper hand. This fruit also gives him the ability to read air currents, which he uses to glide for short periods of time when in his archaeopteryx form.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The major strength of this fruit is in the speed boost it grants the users. It also grants a minor boost in strength. However, despite having wings, the user cannot fly. Instead they can read air currents and use them to glide for short periods of time. Other than this, the user suffers from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Attacks

 * Meteor Slash: Sage glides up into the air and then drops, performing a downward slash.
 * Whip Slash: Sage glides up and then drops in a spinning motion, slashing the areas around him.
 * Extinction: Sage's ultimate attack. He jumps into the air and catches an air current.  He then quickly switches from current to current, slashing his opponent each time.

Trivia

 * The reason that Sage can only glide is that geologic evidence seems to point to the fact that archaeopteryx didn't actively fly, but glided from tree to tree.
