A good power system has become a must in any shonen series. Some fan-favorite power systems include chakra from Naruto, nen from Hunter x Hunter, or quirks from My Hero Academia. While many of these are the result of careful planning to create complex yet tangible battles, there aren't many that are as full of personality and zaniness as the Devil Fruits from One Piece.
Devil Fruits are magical fruits that grant their eater powers — such as the ability to control gravity, revive from the dead, or become mochi — at the cost of being unable to swim. However, not every Devil Fruit is born equal, and some are clearly superior to others when it comes to combat prowess. In fact, the most powerful Devil Fruits in all of One Piece can alter the course of an entire story arc or saga, and great battles have been fought to either change the world with a Devil Fruit or find a way to survive that fruit's supernatural wrath. Unsurprisingly, many of the strongest Devil Fruits are in the hands of mighty villains or pirate ship captains.
Updated on April 29th, 2024 by Louis Kemner: This list of the most powerful Devil Fruits in One Piece has been updated with new material for ease of reading. These are the most exciting and consequential Devil Fruits in the entire anime, after all, and they are all worth careful consideration.
35 The Dice-Dice Fruit is a Savage Fruit of Living Steel
The Alabasta saga upped the ante for Devil Fruits, adding a variety of powerful new Fruits to challenge the Straw Hats during their debut on the Grand Line. Most of those hostile Devil Fruit users belonged to the Baroque Works organization, including Daz Bonez, or Mr. 1. He clashed with Roronoa Zoro the swordsman in Alubarna's streets to show off his sharp fighting style.
With the Dice-Dice Fruit, Daz Bonez could slice and dice anything or anyone after turning his body parts into blades or saws. On offense, he could use sword-like kicks or slash with bladed claws, or even rotating buzz saws. On defense, the Dice-Dice Fruit protects its user with a body as hard as steel. It's an impressive fruit, but it has since been made obsolete by stronger, fancier Devil Fruits, so the Dice-Dice Fruit ranks last among the strongest Devil Fruits seen in One Piece.
34 Bonney's Age-Age Fruit Is More Powerful & Important Than Fans Realize At First
Though Jewelry Bonney was first introduced during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, fans learned more about her Devil Fruit in the Egghead Island arc. Bonney is more powerful than fans anticipated as her paramecia type Age-Age Fruit allows her to manipulate her age, the age of others, and objects. This ability has been particularly beneficial to Bonney as she is a pirate and a former World Government hostage. Bonney constantly alternates between future and past versions of herself to remain unrecognizable to those who seek to capture her.
As explicated by the Five Elders, Bonney has more freedom with her Devil Fruit than most. Chapter 1103 of the manga reveals that the fruit allows "you to transform into any future, but the more you know of reality, the narrower your future possibilities become." Meaning, a huge part of Bonney's abilities are reliant on her imagination – reality, doubt, and fear hinder her transformations. Still, this can be easily overcome. Bonney has proven that this fruit weakens and confuses her enemies immensely.
33 The Revive-Revive Fruit Gives The User A Second Chance At The Life
The Grand Line is home to countless Devil Fruits, but few are as strange as the Revive-Revive Fruit. Wielded by Brook of the Straw Hat Pirates, this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit strengthens the soul of its user to the point that they are granted a second chance at life.
Although the Revive-Revive Fruit's powers remained dormant until Brook passed away from disease, it ultimately guided the Humming Swordsman's soul back to his corporeal form. In addition, the Devil Fruit also granted Brook the ability to manipulate his soul in various manners, making it extremely helpful in a variety of situations. He's been known to scout ahead for the Straw Hat Pirates with his soul, something he never could have done without the Revive-Revive Fruit's powers.
32 The Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi Gives Its User Many Lives
Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits are among the rarest in One Piece, and they almost always grant unique abilities in addition to the normal effects of their Zoan transformations. Such is the case for the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi, which effectively affords its user eight lives — one for each of its serpentine heads.
The Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi was eaten by Kurozmi Orochi, who used the Devil Fruit to escape death numerous times. However, after his last remaining head was severed by Denjiro, the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit presumably returned to circulation.
31 The Barrier-Barrier Fruit Is Indestructible
The Barrier-Barrier Fruit gets major points for nearly making its user indestructible. Based on a Japanese children's gesture where one crosses their fingers to create a ward, the Barrier-Barrier fruit grants its user, Bartolomeo, a single, indestructible plane when he makes the motion.
Unlike other strong Devil Fruits that grant similar qualities of invincibility, the barrier created by the Barrier-Barrier Fruit can take a variety of shapes and sizes. Barto used this power to win a battle royale while standing still and even created a giant wall to bulldoze a large mass of enemies. He's undeniably the most dangerous Monkey D. Luffy fan in the world.
30 The Clear-Clear Fruit Is A Highly Coveted Fruit For Many Reasons
Few abilities pose as much of a direct threat as invisibility. Although One Piece's Observation Haki limits its benefit, the Clear-Clear Fruit and its respective powers are still among the series' most desirable commodities. First wielded by Absalom, this Devil Fruit and its powers of invisibility eventually fall into the dastardly hands of the Blackbeard Pirates.
The Clear-Clear Fruit's new user, Shiryu, is an extremely adept swordsman, making him a massive threat now that he is armed with the ability to strike from the shadows. However, only time will tell if its effects are ultimately negated by skilled Haki usage. So, for now, the Clear-Clear Fruit ranks fairly low among the strongest Devil Fruits seen so far in One Piece's anime.
29 The Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Brachiosaurus Makes The User A Giant
Kaido's crew, the Beast Pirates, are almost exclusively composed of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, including their three strongest soldiers, the All-Stars. Queen, the second-strongest member of Kaido's crew, uses the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Brachiosaurus, allowing him to transform into a half-human, half-dinosaur hybrid at will.
Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits are even stronger than traditional Zoan-type Devil Fruits. Accordingly, Queen's durability and strength surpass almost every single member of the Beast Pirates, speaking to his status as one of the strongest pirates in the New World.
28 The Swamp-Swamp Fruit Can Absorb Anything
Even the weakest Logia-type Devil Fruits are dangerous against most opponents, so despite the Swamp-Swamp Fruit's relative lack of offensive capabilities, it's still a force to be reckoned with. Its user, Caribou, accumulated a bounty of 210 million Berries before reaching Sabaody Archipelago, due in large part to his reliance on his Devil Fruit.
The Swamp-Swamp Fruit is capable of transforming its user into a half-earth, half-water substance that functions similarly to quicksand. As evidenced by Caribou, opponents without Haki are extremely susceptible to the effects of the Logia-type Devil Fruit.
27 The Plume-Plume Fruit Makes The User Untouchable
Generally, side characters and Devil Fruits introduced during One Piece's East Blue Saga become fairly irrelevant by the later events of the series. However, Marine Vice Admiral Smoker and his Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Plume-Plume Fruit, are still making waves in the New World.
As is the case for all Logia-type Devil Fruit users, Smoker is effectively invulnerable against any opponent without Armament Haki. He almost captures Luffy multiple times thanks to his powers, and if it were not for his sense of personal justice, then Smoker would have almost certainly put an end to at least one Straw Hat Pirates' time as a pirate. Notably, the Plume-Plume Fruit is the first Logia type that One Piece ever introduced, appearing in the Loguetown story arc.
26 The Gas-Gas Fruit Allows The User To Fly
Caesar Clown is an expert when it comes to manufacturing chemical weapons of mass destruction, making him the perfect candidate for the Gas-Gas Fruit. Much like the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, the Gas-Gas Fruit allows Caesar Clown to transform into a gas-like form that is also capable of flight.
However, the Gas-Gas Fruit is significantly more versatile than the Plume-Plume Fruit. Using its powers, Caesar Clown can control multiple forms of gasses, many of which are extremely poisonous to the vast majority of his opponents. Still, Luffy had a relatively easy time defeating Caesar Clown in battle, which is either a comment on the Gas-Gas Fruit's powers or Caesar Clown's limited fighting prowess as someone who favors science over combat.
25 The Hobby-Hobby Fruit Can Ruin Lives
The Hobby-Hobby Fruit lets its user turn other people and animals into toys with just a touch, which initially sounds fun until realizing that doing so also erases all memory of the victim from others. There's even a scene in One Piece that suggests a loving husband, having been transformed into a toy years ago, had to serve his family while his wife moved on to another man.
Now, imagine this for an entire country, subjugating anyone who opposes the tyrannical ruling force. It doesn't matter how strong a person is. As long as the user can touch them, they're turned into cute toys to be enslaved by the kingdom. As an added bonus, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit also halts the aging process of its user, like Sugar, who will forever look 10 years old despite currently being 22. If Haki didn't almost certainly disrupt the effects of this Devil Fruit, it would easily be the strongest in One Piece. But as things stand, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit ranks modestly among the best Devil Fruits in the series.
24 The Sand-Sand Fruit Dries Out Its Opponents
Virtually every Logia-type Devil Fruit is extremely powerful, due in large part to the fact that they automatically endow their users with invulnerability to non-Haki-based attacks. One of the first examples of this effect is the Sand-Sand Fruit, wielded by the iconic leader of Baroque Works, Crocodile. It's no wonder he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea with such power at his disposal.
Unlike some lesser Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Sand-Sand Fruit also benefits from a distinct advantage on offense. By using its powers, Crocodile can dehydrate anything that he comes into contact with, immediately rendering opponents a literal husk of their former selves. He can also make stone crumble to sand, giving him an environmental advantage in some battlefield venues.
23 The Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard Doesn't Have A Specific Weakness And Has Been Awakened
When Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates launch their assault on Enies Lobby, the World Government mobilizes several of its strongest soldiers to foil their plans. Chief among these soldiers is the strongest assassin in CP9 history, Rob Lucci. With his Devil Fruit, the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard, Lucci can transform into a human-leopard hybrid, increasing his offensive capabilities.
All Zoan-type Devi Fruit significantly enhance the physical abilities of their user. Lucci is no exception. His ruthless personality and exceptional use of the Six Powers rocketed him up the ranks of CP9, but his possession of the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard is what truly makes him an elite assassin. More recently in One Piece, Rob Lucci had a Devil Fruit awakening, allowing him to keep pace with the Straw Hats and actually threaten them at Egghead Island.
22 The Stone-Stone Fruit Can Control Stone
The villain Pica sadly got little time to shine during the Dressrosa Arc, but he still managed to stand out with his impressive Devil Fruit power. With the Stone-Stone Fruit, Pica can manipulate and absorb all stone around him, with his initial showing of this being when he literally absorbed all of Dressrosa to create a giant armor for himself.
Even to a giant like Hajrudin, Pica overshadowed everyone and devastated by punching people with their own neighborhoods. Although Zoro made quick work of the character, the Stone-Stone Fruit left its impact on the landscape of Dressrosa. Against most other pirate crews, Pica would have had an easy time claiming victory as a stony titan.
21 The String-String Fruit Is Stronger Than Its Name Suggests
Donquixote Doflamingo, the former King of Dressrosa, is already a terrifying force, thanks to his innate use of Haki and his twisted personality. However, what really solidified him as an underworld terror was his Devil Fruit, the String-String Fruit.
The String-String Fruit seems like a pretty tame Devil Fruit until Doffy starts controlling people like puppets and trapping them in midair. Besides being a quick marionette kit, the String-String Fruit can also splice large buildings at a distance, pierce people like bullets, create a countrywide cage, and even repair the user's own internal organs. That shows how versatile strings can be, especially in the hands of a creative, cruel Devil Fruit user like Doflamingo.
20 The Magnet-Magnet Fruit Can Create Magnetic Fields
The Paramecia class of Devil Fruits is easily the most varied in terms of strength, and as a result, it includes some of the most uniquely powerful abilities in the series. The Magnet-Magnet Fruit allows its user to control metallic objects and, if awakened, apply magnetic charges to any tangible object/opponent.
Eustass Kid, the current wielder of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, is as tenacious and durable as any pirate sailing the Grand Line. This makes him the perfect candidate for his Devil Fruit, and together, they are among the most destructive presences in the New World. With such a power, Kid helped Trafalgar Law take on the mighty Big Mom at Onigashima and scrape a narrow victory. So, the Magnet-Magnet Fruit ranks in the middle among the strongest Devil Fruits in the series so far.
19 The Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi No Makami Transforms The User Into A Wolf
The rarest type of Devil Fruit, Mythical Zoan, grants their users abilities that extend far beyond the physical enhancements provided by all Zoan types. In the case of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi no Makami, it provides its user with the ability to utilize ice in a variety of different ways.
Currently, Yamato possesses the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi no Makami. During the Raid on Onigashima, she displays many of its powers, even standing against Kaido — an Emperor of the Sea — for an extended moment thanks to its strength. One Piece fans hope that Yamato may return later in the Final Saga and show off even more of what this canine Devil Fruit can do.
18 The Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Pteranodon Makes The User Prehistoric
In a similar vein to Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, most Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit provides its user with a completely unique set of abilities. King the Conflagration represents the pinnacle of their strength, as he wields what is arguably the most desired Devil Fruit of the entire subclass — the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Pteranodon.
The Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Pteranodon transforms its user into an ancient, winged creature known as a pteranodon, instantly granting the ability to fly. Since partial transformations are a major part of Zoan usage, King is able to sprout wings at any given moment, making him one of very few airborne characters in One Piece.
17 The Venom-Venom Fruit Can Kill Its Target With Noxious Poisons
The near-inescapable prison Impel Down houses the most heinous criminals in the history of One Piece, so it only follows suit that the World Government would station one of its strongest fighters there. Magellan, the user of the Venom-Venom Fruit, serves as the prison's warden prior to the series' timeskip. Even after the Straw Hats reunite in the New World, Magellan maintains his status as Impel Down's strongest fighter.
Despite the appearance of its effects, the Venom-Venom Fruit is actually a Paramecia-type, rather than a Logia. The potent poison that it produces paralyzes his foes, threatening the lives of anyone it comes in contact with. While Magellan's status as a Haki user is unknown, his monstrous Devil Fruit powers help him defeat even the most durable criminals.
16 The Press-Press Fruit Gives The User Telepathic Like Powers
Each of the Marine Admirals possesses an incredibly strong Devil Fruit. In Fujitora's case, he is no exception. His Press-Press Devil Fruit allows its user to manipulate gravitational forces, resulting in one of the strongest Paramecia-type fruits in all of One Piece.
While Fujitora is undoubtedly strong in his own right, his Devil Fruit abilities separate him from other Marines. The Press-Press Fruit can manipulate objects as large as battleships, but it can simultaneously apply multiple smaller gravitational fields as well, resulting in a Devil Fruit worthy of the Marines' top brass.
