by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Devil Fruits are born from desire, representing human evolution.
  • The Forest God is responsible for creating Devil Fruits.
  • The location of the Devil Fruit Tree is likely in Marijoa, above Fishman Island.

In the universe of One Piece, Devil Fruits hold significant value and fans understand their immense significance as they constitute the main power source throughout the world. These extraordinary fruits possess unique capabilities, and upon consumption, individuals receive incredible powers that vary depending on the specific Devil Fruit consumed. However, this newfound ability comes at a price – the consumer loses the ability to swim, which some view as a balanced exchange.

Despite this, it’s generally advantageous to possess a Devil Fruit, as demonstrated consistently throughout the narrative. When considering these enigmatic fruits, it’s not uncommon for questions about their origin to arise, leading some fans to speculate about the Devil Fruit Tree that might be hidden within the world of One Piece, potentially revealed during the Final Saga. Currently, curiosity surrounding this tree is on the rise, and readers can only hope that its secrets will be unveiled soon by Oda. However, it’s not as if there aren’t any clues in the story; Oda has subtly hinted at the location of this mysterious Devil Fruit tree numerous times.

How Devil Fruits Come Into Existence

  • Devil Fruits Are Born From Desire
  • All Fruits Were Wishes By Someone

The enigma surrounding the source of Devil Fruits has puzzled One Piece enthusiasts for quite some time, with creator Oda yet to fully unveil the truth about them. However, fans have gained substantial knowledge on this topic compared to earlier times. In the Egghead Island arc, the character of Doctor Vegapunk, a renowned scientist, was presented to One Pice fans by Oda, who had hinted at his role in revealing the genuine secret behind Devil Fruits years ago.

Is it possible for me to ask a rather perplexing question to the sometimes uncouth SBS? In Volume 46, Usopp mentioned that no two instances of the same power exist. However, this contradicts what you stated in Volume 45’s SBS. If the Gomu Gomu no Mi was indeed in a book of fruits, then Luffy had to have consumed at least the SECOND instance of the fruit known to mankind. Could you kindly clarify this apparent discrepancy for me, oh wise and elegant Ei-chan? Sincerely, Takafi

You’ve shown great insight there. However, I must clarify – it’s not about mistakes, but rather the unique nature of the Devil Fruits. To put it another way, you might say, “The same abilities granted by a Devil Fruit don’t occur twice SIMULTANEOUSLY.” But for a comprehensive understanding, we’ll have to meet a certain professor in the story who will reveal the true essence of these mystical fruits… In due time.

In the Egghead Island Storyline, the Straw Hat crew encountered Vegapunk for the first time. This storyline is where author Eiichiro Oda disclosed numerous intriguing facts to fans. Among these revelations, the most significant one was concerning the nature of Devil Fruits. As per Oda, Devil Fruits are brought into existence by hope. Essentially, it means that Devil Fruits have come to be because people wish for them to exist. The human desire to transform or acquire specific powers is what leads to the creation of Devil Fruits.

Over time, people have consistently yearned for advancement, desiring specific abilities. Vegapunk posits that every Devil Fruit ever discovered represents a potential pathway for human evolution sought by someone else. Essentially, Devil Fruits symbolize the diverse directions in which human evolution could have taken place. Vegapunk further suggests that individuals with Devil Fruit powers dwell in an alternate realm, embodying abilities that were once envisioned by others before them. However, this state is considered unnatural, leading to the Sea Mother’s disdain for them, causing those who consume a Devil Fruit to be drawn into the ocean.

In a realm beyond our own, I firmly believe that beings with extraordinary abilities dwell, conceptualized by minds that came before us!

Indeed, fans have a grasp on the theory behind the creation of Devil Fruits, yet some gaps persist in this understanding. What remains unanswered is the origin of these Devil Fruits – specifically, how they initially came into being – and the process through which they are born.

The Forest God And The Devil Fruits Lore

The Forest God Is Responsible For Creating Devil Fruits

It’s reasonable to suppose that Devil Fruits, just like regular fruits, have an origin and grow somewhere. If they didn’t, their powers wouldn’t necessarily need to manifest as fruits. Interestingly, creator Eiichiro Oda has hinted at the existence of a Devil Fruit tree in one of his earlier works, Romance Dawn. This prequel to One Piece features a ‘Tree of Evil’, which produces fruit over a long period. Whether this concept will appear in One Piece is yet to be determined, but it’s intriguing to think about the possibility.

Furthermore, Oda strongly hinted at the existence of the Devil Fruit tree through the Harley:

First World

Fire swept across the land, causing humans to give in to their passions and reach for the off-limits Sun. Enslaved beings pleaded, and a Solar deity materialized. The Terrestrial God grew furious, joining forces with the serpent of eternal flames, casting a pall of death and darkness over the world. Their fates would forever remain apart.

Second World

Life awoke in the emptiness, and the Forest Deity unleashed its demons. The Sun merely fanned the flames of conflict. Those under the crescent moon and those under the full moon both had dreams. Humans murdered the Sun and ascended to divinity, enraging the Sea God. Their paths would never cross again.

Third World

In turmoil, I find a sense of emptiness. The disturbed echoes of yesterdays whisper of a brighter tomorrow, while the fragmented moon’s voice echoes in my heart. The Sun God exults and chuckles, guiding us towards our twilight. Yet, the sun shall rise once more, heralding a new dawn. I have no doubt; this time, we shall meet again under her warm embrace.

In the Harley, it’s suggested that the Forest Spirit summons or triggers the growth of Devil Fruits. This implication points towards an ancient Devil Fruit tree that once produced its fruit.

Where Is The Devil Fruit Tree Located?

The Location Of The Devil Fruit Tree Is Very Clear

In the universe of “One Piece,” it appears that the Devil Fruit Tree doesn’t have a secret, concealed location. Instead, there are two distinct types of trees: the Adam Trees, which can be found in various places, with the largest one residing in Elbaf. These sturdy trees are renowned for their wood, from which both the Sunny and Oro Jackson were built.

Additionally, there’s the Sunlight Tree Eve. So far, viewers have only witnessed its roots on Fishman Island, which are responsible for illuminating the island from the surface to below. Yet, the tree itself remains unseen. Since the roots are in Fishman Island, logic suggests that the tree is positioned directly beneath it, possibly in the Holy Land of Marijoa. This tree could potentially be the source of the Devil Fruits during the Second World, as they were created.

You can access “One Piece” through Viz Media. Fans can read it officially and without charge on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The next chapter of “One Piece”, chapter 1143, is scheduled for release on March 23, 2025.
