Summary

  • Not all Devil Fruits in One Piece are created equal; some are drastically more powerful than others.
  • The Age-Age Fruit, Woods-Woods Fruit, and Press-Press Fruit are among the strongest Devil Fruits in the series.
  • Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit is considered the strongest Devil Fruit, with the ability to absorb and cancel out other Devil Fruit powers.

In the vast world of One Piece, Devil Fruits are some of the rarest and most sought after treasures on the open sea. Recently it was revealed that every Devil Fruit essentially is the manifestation of a dream someone once had given form. With their wide range of abilities at hand, each granting incredible powers and abilities to their s, Devil Fruits are coveted by pirates, marines, and revolutionaries alike.

An incredible range of abilities can be granted by eating one of the Fruits, which can be organized into three primary categories: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan. With that being said, not all Devil Fruits are created equal.

Some are vastly more powerful than others and can grant their s abilities that are truly a notch above the rest. While all Fruit s are rendered powerless when exposed to water, some are more than worth the risk. The most skilled Devil Fruit s also find creative ways to turn their basic abilities into something more complex and powerful.

25 Gas-Gas Fruit (Gasu Gasu no Mi)

Type: Logia, : Caesar Clown

The Gas-Gas Fruit is a Logia Devil Fruit eaten by Caesar Clown, Doctor Vegapunk's evil former partner who created the artificial Devil Fruits SMILEs. As the name would imply, the Gas-Gas Fruit lets Caesar turn into and manipulate any and all gases, and it's often used in conjunction with Caesar's chemical weapons.

While Caesar was never that powerful of a villain, that doesn't make the Gas-Gas Fruit any less powerful. In addition to the typical perks of intangibility provided by Logia fruits, Caesar's Gas-Gas Fruit can be used to poison and suffocate anyone who gets too close to him, allowing him to easily incapacitate enemies far above him in power. If the Gas-Gas Fruit was used by someone more competent, it would have easily given one of the best performances of any Devil Fruit, but even in Caesar's hands, it's still incredibly powerful.

24 Sand-Sand Fruit (Suna Suna no Mi)

Type: Logia, : Crocodile

The deadly and versatile Sand Fruit proved capable of devastating the desert country of Alabasta by causing sand storms and extreme droughts. It allows its to control and transform one's body into sand, plus the ability to drain moisture nearly killed Luffy several times and was virtually unbeatable for anyone without Haki or moisture-infused attacks.

Crocodile even showcased his Fruit's incredible versatility and mobility during The War of the Best by flying around the battlefield and holding his own against some of the world's strongest pirates, like Whitebeard and Doflamingo. With the former Straw Hat foe now a leading member of Buggy's Cross Guild, fans will likely see more of the Sand Fruit in action before One Piece's end.

23 Barrier-Barrier Fruit (Bari Bari no Mi)

Type: Paramecia; : Bartolomeo

The Barrier-Barrier Fruit is a Paramecia Devil Fruit eaten by Bartolomeo, a Super Rookie who commands the second ship of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Bartolomeo can use the Barrier-Barrier Fruit to create barriers around himself and others, and the barriers can even be remade into various shapes like spheres and staircases.

While it's only made a handful of appearances in One Piece, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit is easily one of the strongest Devil Fruits in the series. There has yet to be any attack capable of so much as cracking Bartolomeo's barriers, and it's to the point that not even Oden, someone stronger than Kaido, could overcome the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. The only notable weakness is in there being a limit to how big the barriers can be, but with how strong they are, that's hardly an issue.

22 Woods-Woods Fruit (Mori Mori no Mi)

Type: Logia, : iral Ryokugyu "Green Bull" Aramaki

The irals of the One Piece series have consistently been some of the strongest characters, and the newest addition is no exception. iral Ryokugo (aka Green Bull) was properly introduced at the end of the Wano arc. Still, his terrifying abilities quickly established that he was not someone to take lightly. Ryokugo's Woods-Woods Devil Fruit allows him to become a Forest Human who can create, manipulate, and transform himself and his surroundings into flora.

Logia Devil Fruits are the rarest and often considered the most powerful type. Logia s are able to take the form of a particular element of nature and even produce it at will. Haki is often needed to combat such foes because Logia bodies are normally invulnerable to normal attacks.

Many applications of Green Bull's powers were showcased against numerous foes on Wano. The iral can seemingly create a nearly infinite amount of wood that he can control at will and maneuver with great speed to defend and even impale enemies. He can absorb moisture from defeated foes and use it and sunlight to recharge his powers. Ryokugyu has such impressive control of his Devil Fruit that he is immune to traditional fire attacks and can transform into a hulking tree golem of a man, making him a formidable opponent for anyone without an overwhelming amount of haki.

21 Huge-Huge Fruit (Deka Deka no Mi)

Type: Paramecia, : Sanjuan Wolf

The Blackbeard Pirates have specifically hunted down many of the One Piece world's strongest Devil Fruits, making them a colossal threat to nearly everyone in the series' final arcs. Without question, the largest fighter on the team is the giant among giants, Sanjuan Wolf. Eating the Huge Fruit allowed the giant to adjust his size, making Sanjuan the size of a several-story building or as large as a mountain capable of standing in the ocean. It's currently unclear what the limits of the Huge Fruit are, but it's already proved capable of considerable destruction.

20 Press-Press Fruit (Zushi Zushi no Mi)

Type: Paramecia, : iral Fujitora, aka Issho

Fujitora is one of the newer irals introduced in One Piece, but that doesn't make him or his Fruit any less powerful. The Press-Press Fruit allows Fujitora to manipulate gravity. While he has used this power for some small-scale feats such as levitating objects and pinning enemies in place, his Fruit also has a much more extreme destructive potential, rivaling even One Piece's ancient weapons like Uranus. Fujitora can call down large meteors from the sky to crush his enemies. This ability could cause mass destruction, making the Zushi Zushi Fruit easily one of the most powerful in the series.

19 String-String Fruit (Ito Ito no Mi)

Type: Paramecia, : Donquixote Doflamingo

One of One Piece's most iconic villains, Donquixote Doflamingo, was long built up with his mysterious abilities, finally getting their intimidating and powerful showcase most effectively during the Dressrosa arc. The chaotic evil villain was already capable of all three forms of Haki powers, but his use of the String Fruit easily made him one of the most fearsome pirates of the sea. While controlling strings sounds playful, Doflamingo used his ability to cleave enemies and buildings apart and so much more.

Like many of the series' most powerful Devil Fruit s, Doflamingo learned to awaken his String Fruit, allowing him to transform his surrounding environment into strings that he can fully control. For many years, he used his powers to commit several cunning and devilish deeds, such as controlling the bodies of people like puppets to murder others, creating String-Clones of himself, and even trapping entire cities within an unbreakable cage of razor-sharp string capable of slicing a meteor into tiny pieces.

18 Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit (Kira Kira no Mi)

Type: Paramecia, : Diamond Jozu

Screenshot from One Piece anime shows Twinkle Devil Fruit  Diamond Jozu using his power to cover most of his body in unbreakable diamonds.

The Paramount War saw the Whitebeard Pirates and many of the world's strongest fighters clashing, spoiling audiences with several shocking displays of power. Many of the arc's most significant attacks from powerhouses like Mihawk and iral Akainu failed to get past the defenses of Whitebeard Commander Jozu's Twinkle Fruit. By covering his entire body with diamonds, Jozu became unbreakable, allowing him to withstand any attack and reflect damage as he led his men into battle. Combined with his considerable strength, he could freely toss huge icebergs, showing that Jozu was a formidable force for anyone to reckon with.

17 Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon (Uo Uo no Mi: Model Seiryu)

Type: Mythical Zoan, : Kaido & Kozuki Momonosuke

The Fish-Fish Fruit: Model Azure Dragon, is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that was eaten by One Piece's Kaido after the fruit was given to him by Big Mom. This Devil Fruit allows the to transform into a gargantuan flying dragon capable of breathing fire and destroying mountains. The Uo Uo no Mi specializes in raw strength, and its natural ability could be seen in Momonosuke's usage of the cloned Devil Fruit during his battle with Kaido. Despite having little to no training and no real Haki, Momonosuke stood his ground against Kaido momentarily upon assuming his full dragon form.

Zoan-type Devil Fruits allow the to transform into a particular animal species. Skilled s can even morph particular parts of their body and become a hybrid version of the animal to take full advantage of their animal bodies.

Mythical Zoans have proved to be perhaps the most powerful category of Devil Fruits in the series. They don't just give their s animalistic physical boosts, but each of them possesses unique abilities based on the mythological or divine being that inspired them. Kaido's Devil Fruit, while not the only source of his strength, contributed to making him known as "the world's strongest creature".

16 Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Goro Goro no Mi)

Type: Logia, : Enel

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is an electricity-based Logia-type Devil Fruit that can deliver power output just as great as Kaido's Fruit. It also provides the with an absurd amount of abilities. Like all Logia Fruits, the Rumble Fruit allows a to become intangible, becoming outright invincible to foes that don't yet possess Haki. Enel can travel great distances in the blink of an eye, control the weather to an extent, and even use the heat from his lightning-based body to reforge weapons. The can also use their nearly limitless electrical energy supply to power large machines and weapons.

It is often believed that the only reason why Enel was defeated is that he found his "natural enemy" in Luffy, a human made of rubber, which is a material immune to electricity. Also, Enel relied on his Devil Fruit powers too much, was arrogant and cocky, and clearly never developed his abilities to their extreme.
