A sound power system has become a must in any shonen series, but none are as full of zaniness as the Devil Fruits from One Piece.

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.

Updated on July 19, 2023, by Kennedy King: The end of One Piece‘s Wano Country Arc is quickly approaching, and with it comes a plethora of information regarding the series’ most powerful Devil Fruits. Accordingly, the pecking order between these Devil Fruit has shifted to reflect which are the strongest among them.

35The String-String Fruit

User: Donquixote Doflamingo

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.

34The Chop-Chop Fruit

User: Buggy The Clown

As a Devil Fruit whose use ranges from comedic effect to outright plot armor, the Chop-Chop Fruit allows its user to separate portions of their body as cut-up segments. This fruit grants the user near indestructibility. Its current owner, Buggy the Clown, isn’t a strong character, yet he could stroll (or float) through most of the Paramount War with virtually no harm.

Buggy the Clown’s one of the few characters fans see go toe-to-toe with the World’s Strongest Swordsman, Dracule “Hawkeye” Mihawk, and live. Not only that, all of Mihawk’s attacks were useless to him. Considering that the clown is now one of the four Yonko, it only makes sense that he owns a fairly prestigious and powerful Devil Fruit.

33The Revive-Revive Fruit

User: Brook

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.

32Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi

User: Kurozumi Orochi (former)

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.

31The Barrier-Barrier Fruit

User: Bartolomeo

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.

30The Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard

User: Rob Lucci

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.

29The Clear-Clear Fruit

User: Absalom (former) / Shiryu (current)

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.

28The Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Brachiosaurus

User: Queen

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 other member of the Beast Pirates, speaking to his status as one of the strongest pirates in the New World.

27The Swamp-Swamp Fruit

User: Caribou

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.

26The Smoke-Smoke Fruit

User: Smoker

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 Smoke-Smoke 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.

25The Gas-Gas Fruit

User: Caesar Clown

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 Smoke-Smoke 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.

24The Hobby-Hobby Fruit

User: Sugar

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.

23The Sand-Sand Fruit

User: Crocodile

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.

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.

21The Stone-Stone Fruit

User: Pica

Pica sadly got little time to shine during the Dressrosa Arc, but he made it hard for fans not to notice him. 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 devastate 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.

20The Magnet-Magnet Fruit

User: Eustass Kid

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.

19The Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi No Makami

User: Yamato

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.

18The Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Pteranodon

User: King the Conflagration

In a similar vein to Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, virtually any 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.

17The Venom-Venom Fruit

User: Magellan

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.

16The Press-Press Fruit

User: Admiral Fujitora

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.

15The Paw-Paw Fruit

User: Bartholomew Kuma

The Paw-Paw Fruit allows its user to deflect anything at light speed, including punches, air, lasers, people, ghosts, and even the abstract concept of pain. While his status and limits of his power have yet to be revealed, the current user, Bartholomew Kuma, has used the Paw-Paw Fruit to defend himself, weaponize air like bullets, and even transport himself and others at light speeds.

One of the most shocking uses of Kuma’s power even includes an instance where he grabbed and compressed a large section of air, creating a powerful bomb to take down Little Oars, Jr. Hopefully, Kuma will have at least one more chance to demonstrate his abilities by the end of One Piece.

14The Woods-Woods Fruit

User: Admiral Ryokugyu

For years, One Piece fans speculated about the possibility of a plant-based Devil Fruit, and after years of waiting, Marine Admiral Ryokugyu proved them right. As evidenced by his battle against the forces of Wano, Ryokugyu wields the powers of the Woods-Woods Fruit.

The Woods-Woods Fruit has only been used in a single One Piece battle so far, but in this appearance, it easily held its own against the King, Queen, Yamato, Momonosuke, and the samurai of Wano. Given the power of the other Marine Admirals, it’s safe to say that the Woods-Woods Fruit could hold its own against the Grand Line’s strongest Devil Fruits.

13The Flame-Flame Fruit

User: Portgas D. Ace (former) / Sabo (current)

Logia-type Devil Fruits virtually guarantee their user power and fame, as their nature instantly elevates the defensive and offensive capabilities of whoever possesses them. However, even among Logia Devil Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit stands out for its devastating power.

As evidenced by both Portgas D. Ace and Sabo, the Flame-Flame Fruit generates as much offensive firepower as any Devil Fruit in the series. Both of its wielders play a large role in the narrative of One Piece, due in large part to their ability to control and transform into fire itself.

12The Glint-Glint Fruit

User: Admiral Kizaru

Admiral Kizaru may be one of the least-shown Marine Admirals, but that doesn’t mean people should underestimate him. Kizaru has the fastest attacks out of the original three Admirals, thanks in large part to the powers of the Glint-Glint Fruit. The Glint-Glint Fruit is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that lets the user take on the qualities of light, meaning that Kizaru is both indestructible and fast as a flash.

Admiral Kizaru’s lasers have also been some of the most destructive attacks in the One Piece world, being harnessed and weaponized within the infamous Pacifistas. With a large-scale conflict against the World Government looming on the horizon, Kizaru is more primed than ever to show off the powers of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

11The Ice-Ice Fruit

User: Kuzan

The ocean may be the Achilles’ Heel of most Devil Fruit, but for those that wield the Ice-Ice Fruit, it doesn’t apply. Its user can freeze anything in their vicinity, including the very seas they’re forbidden from entering. Kuzan — formerly known as Admiral Aokiji — has possessed the Ice-Ice Fruit since the well before the start of One Piece, and he’s demonstrated its might on multiple occasions.

During the events of the Marineford Arc, Kuzan froze the entire bay that the military base is formed around, halting the onslaught of Whitebeard and his allies. Besides this, his effect on the island of Punk Hazard (which was partially frozen during his battle against Akainu) speaks to the raw power generated by the Ice-Ice Fruit.

10The Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix

User: Marco The Phoenix

Logia-type fruits grant their user the qualities and control over an element of nature and are essentially indestructible. Zoan-type fruits are Devil Fruits capable of turning their users into a certain variety of an animal. Whitebeard Pirate’s First Commander, Marco, ate the Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix and turned into the mythical bird.

With the Phoenix Model of this fruit comes a regenerative property — including the ability to heal others — akin to the indestructibility of Logia-types. However, it also has the added benefits of flight and the strength enhancement of Zoan-types, making it among the strongest Zoan-type Devil Fruits in One Piece.

9The Rumble-Rumble Fruit

User: Enel

During One Piece‘s Skypiea arc, one of the Shandorians, Raki, states that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is the most powerful of the Logia-type fruits. Its user, Enel, is certainly a terrifying threat. Series author Eiichiro Oda has even said that, based on his powers alone, Enel could easily have a bounty of 500,000,000 berries.

Enel has created lightning attacks of up to 2 billion volts whose blast radius spans miles. He can move at the speed of lightning, manipulate metal, change his size, hear electrical sound waves, and even jump-start his own heart after it stops. The only way anyone could stop him is if they were made of rubber. Unfortunately for Enel, that’s exactly what he encountered in Monkey D. Luffy.

8The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha

User: Sengoku

As the former Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sengoku is undoubtedly one of the strongest Marines to serve the World Government. Although his combat abilities haven’t been shown very often, his Devil Fruit — the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha — allows its user to transform into a gigantic, golden version of the legendary Buddha.

The limits of this Devil Fruit aren’t well known, given the lack of information regarding its user, Sengoku. However, as shown by Sengoku’s strikes against the Blackbeard Pirates during the Paramount War, his immense strength dwarfs all but the strongest of characters.

7The Soul-Soul Fruit

User: Charlotte Linlin

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has said that the Soul-Soul Fruit is a more powerful version of Gekko Moriah’s Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and for a good reason. Instead of cutting off people’s shadows to create a zombie army, this Devil Fruit allows its user to infuse various objects with the souls that they have collected.

Charlotte Linlin possesses an entire army of talking animals, furniture, mountains, and even her own pirate ship. She even uses pieces of her own soul to create the living embodiment of fire and the weather. However, there appear to be a few limitations to the Devil Fruit. The army only remains in Big Mom’s control if she stays focused. Additionally, her victims must fear her to have their souls taken. As shown during her battle against Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, Charlotte Linlin can hold her own against multiple Yonko-level threats at once.

6The Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon

User: Kaido

One Piece had been teasing Kaido for years prior to his appearance in Wano, and fans had been wondering if he could truly live up to his hype. Those fans didn’t need to look any further when he used the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, causing a classic Japanese dragon to overshadow all of Wano. While Pica is huge, Kaido is godlike, staring down at his country with malevolent, drunken eyes.

Besides sheer size, Kaido can also blow down entire sections of Wano Country with his dragon breath. Using its powers, Kaido single-handedly held off the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance on multiple occasions. Were it not for the efforts of the next King of the Pirates, he would have almost certainly squashed the rebellion on Wano.

5The Mag-Mag Fruit

User: Admiral Akainu

Fleet Admiral Akainu currently holds the highest-ranking position in the Marines, so it is fitting that he currently owns the Logia with the most offensive firepower — the Mag-Mag Fruit. Its immense strength instantly makes its users one of the deadliest threats on the entire Grand Line.

During the Whitebeard Pirates’ assault on Marineford, Akainu (still an Admiral at that point in One Piece) punished the invading forces, eventually dealing the decisive blow to Portgas D. Ace that effectively ended the conflict. Even Whitebeard suffered severe damage from the Mag-Mag Fruit’s attack, making it a clear choice as the strongest of the Marines’ forces.

4The Tremor-Tremor Fruit

User: Edward Newgate (former) / Blackbeard (current)

3The Dark-Dark Fruit

User: Marshall D. Teach

Everything about the Dark-Dark Fruit screams bad news. Its user can harness the power of a black hole and consume anything within a dark aura. During one of the first instances that it’s shown in One Piece, the Dark-Dark Fruit is used to consume an entire city, and somehow, its accomplishments get more impressive from there.

The Dark-Dark Fruit’s user, “Blackbeard” Marshall D. Teach, even uses it to nullify Devil Fruit powers for a period of time, which is pretty frightening in a world where Devil Fruit users often feel invincible. The major drawback of this power is that it also absorbs attacks. However, in the right hands (or the wrong ones), this fruit can pave a dark path of destruction.

2The Op-Op Fruit

User: Trafalgar D. Law

Considering that this Devil Fruit is literally spelled “O-P,” it’s probably fair to say that the Op-Op Fruit is among the most overpowered Devil Fruits. Creating a room of light referred to as an “Operating Room,” the user can manipulate anything in a variety of fantastical ways.

Its current user, the “Surgeon of Death” Trafalgar D. Law, has proven able to cut anything and anyone, instantaneously switch the positions of any two objects, switch the personalities of people, affix what he’s cut to other objects, electrocute enemies, and even cut off and hold body parts while they’re still alive. The user has even been said to grant immortality to any person at the sacrifice of their own life. The only limitation seems to be the user’s stamina.

1The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika

User: Monkey D. Luffy

After Monkey D. Luffy defeated Kaido during the events of Wano, it was clear the landscape of the series would never be the same. The Straw Hat Pirates’ captain was thought to wield the Gum-Gum Fruit until his battle against the Yonko, but upon reaching Gear 5, the true name of his Devil Fruit was revealed — Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.

This Fruit, a Mythical Zoan in nature, allows its user to assume the properties of Sun God Nika. While the full limits of what this entails have yet to be revealed, it’s clear many of Luffy’s signature abilities can be attributed to its effects. In Gear 5, Luffy literally transformed the world around him as if it was a rubber cartoon. Moving forward, the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika will set the standard for strong Devil Fruits in One Piece.
