As One Piece in its final Saga, here is the concept of awakening devil fruits and a few characters that have so far managed to do it.
The power system in One Piece is highly reliable in two aspects and they are Devil Fruits and Haki. These two power types have their own source and it varies a lot. While the latter is something related to one’s life energy much like Chakra in Naruto, the former is a sort of ability that one gains after eating a devil fruit.
These devil fruits range in a lot of variety and their power depends on the type of devil fruit it is. Depending on the devil fruit, one could get the ability to turn their body into rubber to be able to swim through the ground. However, all the devil fruits users have one thing in common and that is losing their ability to swim.
The protagonist of One Piece, Monkey D Luffy is also a devil fruit user, and as we progress through the story, there are huge numbers of characters that have consumed this fruit and have become devil fruit users. While one would think that after eating the devil’s fruit, it is the only power they would get from it, there is a new concept to these devil fruit users and it is its awakening.
So far, only a few characters have managed to do it and awakening brings out the true abilities of the devil fruit affecting its surroundings to many other abilities. These awakenings have been done by only a few numbers of characters in very special circumstances. Therefore, it is rare to remember who has done it so far but we are here to with the Top 10 Devil Fruit Awakenings In One Piece.
Top 10 Devil Fruit Awakenings In One Piece!
1) Luffy’s devil fruit awakening allows him to do anything
At the top of our list, we have none other than our protagonist of the series with his devil fruit known as Gum-Gum no Mi also referred to as Hito-Hito no Mi which is the real name of the devil fruit is said to be the most ridiculous power in the One Piece World.
Therefore, the world government tried to hide its existence and also changed its name but the will of the devil fruit got its new user which is our protagonist.

Luffy’s devil fruit awakening also known as Gear 5 does the minimal of what an awakening devil fruit does which is to affect his surroundings but what is so special about this devil fruit is that Luffy can do anything he imagines from making his wrist to a size of an island to grabbing a lighting if he desires so.
The true extent of Luffy’s Gear 5 has still not been determined and we are hoping to see more ridiculous things from him in the future of the series.
2) Law’s Devil Fruit Is Ridiculous without even its awakening
Speaking of Ridiculous power if we had known the extent of Gear 5, then Law’s awakening would have been at the top of our list. But since we do not, Law’s awakening will come only second to that due to the devil fruit already being the most powerful devil fruit in the series.
Law from One Piece (CC: Oda)
Law has eaten Ope-Ope no Mi devil fruit that allows him to do any modification to a person within a space that he creates. Therefore he is also known as the Surgeon and is also the doctor of his pirate crew. His awakening of the devil fruit allows him to use the ability with an object that we have seen him use on his sword.
Then he can use the sword to operate on another person which can let his sword pierce through one’s body without harming them.
3) Kidd changes the nature of how the human body can act
Eustass Kidd is also a member of the Worst Generation of the current era and part of the alliance in Wano has also awakened his Devil Fruit Power which has made him a very strong character and one of the most noticeable characters.
Kid from One Piece (CC: Oda)
While Kidd’s basic Devil fruit abilities allow him to manipulate any sort of magnetic force and repel and attract magnets, the awakening allows him to turn anything into a magnet that works on humans. With his awakening, Kidd managed to take down Big Mom alongside Law and managed to get a bounty of 3 billion.
4) Bullet awakenings make him create things at a bigger scale
The main antagonist of One Piece: Stampede, Bullet was quite a notable character and what was even more notable was the fact that it was his devil fruit. Bullet’s Gasha Gasha no mi allowed him to merge with anything unless they were alive.
Bullet from One Piece (CC: Oda)
Whereas, his awakening allowed him to do on a bigger scale and we saw Bullet merging with an island itself turning into a whole weapon. Even though he is a non-canon character, due to his awakening of the devil fruit, we thought he should be here.
5) Doflamingo was the first awakened Devil Fruit user to fight Luffy
Doflamingo is one of the most notable characters in the series and his devil is no sort of joke that allows him to create strings at his will which matches perfectly with his personality.
Doflamingo from One Piece (CC: Oda)
His awakening is much like the other awakening of the devil’s fruit that allows him to convert his surroundings into strings and create them on an even larger scale. Although it is a very powerful ability, Luffy was able to overcome it with his Gear Four.
6) Are Luffy and Katakuri’s Devil Fruit powers the same?
Ever since the awakening of Katakuri’s devil fruit came to light, fans have been wondering about one particular thing. Katakuri’s Mochi Mochi is much like Luffy’s Gum Gum which allows him to extend his arms like a Mochi which is similar to rubber.
Katakuri from One Piece (CC: Oda)
Thus, fans of the series wonder if these abilities are the same, and to some extent, they are, as the properties of Mochi and Rubber are to behave and act a little rubbery. Katakauri’s awakening also allowed him to turn his surroundings into Mochi much like Luffy made his surroundings into rubber.
7) Lucci is the Epitome of the Zoan Awakening
One of the most recent awakened devil fruits that the fans got to see was of a returning character, Rob Lucci. Lucci’s Neko Neko no mi is a Zoan-type devil fruit that allows him to turn into a Leopard in a hybrid form allowing him to get all the abilities of a Leopard.

Recently, we saw that Lucci used a new form of his transformation that allowed him to be stronger and more powerful which is known as his awakening. Although it was an awakening, Lucci did not last long against Luffy but still holding on his own against Yonko must be a great fleet.
8) Kaku also has Zoan Awakening
If we probably had more Devil Fruit awakened users then we are pretty sure that Kaku would not have made this list but since he is one of the few Devil Fruits users, he is also getting a place with Lucci. Kaku has eaten Ushi Ushi no Mi much like Lucci’s devil fruit also allows him to transform into an animal, specifically a giraffe.

Kaku also has an awakening of his devil fruit that grants him superior power of his devil fruit powers but nothing exceptional. He was able to exchange a few blows against Zoro in his most recent appearance and nothing more.
9) Manipulating gold at its best
Our list of awakened devil fruit users is getting so short that we have to talk about a non-canon character again. It is none other than Gild Tesero from One Piece Film Gold, who has eaten the Goru Goru no Mi which gives him the power to manipulate gold.
Tereso from One Piece Movie (CC: Oda)
Due to his ability, he can manipulate gold however he likes to turn it into any sort of weapon he can or make it liquid. However, there are restrictions in his power which even sees in his awakened that lets him manipulate gold that is on a greater range but still not create gold or make things into gold.
10) Zoans from the Impel Down
The above nine individuals are the only characters we have seen with an awakening devil fruit. Whereas, the awakened Zoan from the Impel down are the set of characters that saw the mention of awakened devil fruits for the first time.
Zoans From Impel Down (CC: Oda)
You may have forgotten about them because it was so unimportant at that time but besides the previous nine characters, we only have these Zoan-type users from the impel down that have awakened their devil fruits. Much like Lucci and Kaku, they can get the best of their devil fruit power with a transformation that sees them turning into animals more than ever.
