Trivia
Summary
Biblia is the Greek and Latin word for "books", and the word "library" in Romance languages incorporates this in their etymology (most spelling it biblioteca while French renders it as bibliothèque). The second half of its name may come from fukuro, the Japanese word for "owl". Biblo is the first canon animal in the series to have eaten a non-Zoan Devil Fruit. Non-canonically, the first animal with a Paramecia ability is Noko.
