Unused Devil Fruits in One Piece: Where Are They Now?

Summary

Devil Fruits return after user’s death, creating endless cycle.
Many deceased Devil Fruit users’ abilities remain unused.
Fruits like Snow-Snow and Calm-Calm in rotation, not used.

In contrast to numerous power systems seen in anime, the Devil Fruits in One Piece possess unique and intriguing characteristics that distinguish them from their counterparts. Among these differences, some notable ones include the existence of multiple subtypes of Devil Fruits and the concept of awakening. However, what truly sets Devil Fruits apart is their peculiar property: they can reappear for someone else to consume after the original user perishes. Although death isn’t a frequent occurrence in this series, there are several characters who have met a permanent end while possessing these extraordinary fruits.

Despite several deceased characters’ Devil Fruits being claimed by others like Sabo taking Ace’s fruit or Blackbeard taking Whitebeard’s, there remain some Devil Fruits yet to be in use. Either their users died too recently for a new user to emerge or their fruits don’t seem crucial to the story of One Piece. Regardless, since these Devil Fruits are unclaimed, there’s always a possibility they could reappear before the conclusion of the Final Saga.

Devil Fruits Return To The Earth When The User Dies

This Creates An Endless Cycle Of Devil Fruit

For starters, it’s been speculated that Devil Fruits have been around for at least several hundred years, with some like the Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika being over 800 years old. There are hundreds of these unique fruits, each granting a distinct ability and none duplicates exist. The Devil Fruits from “One Piece” outlive their original users and are eventually inherited by future generations. Essentially, upon the death of a Devil Fruit user, the fruit reappears in place of a normal fruit nearby, recycling it back into circulation.

I truly am the strongest! – Blackbeard after claiming the Quake-Quake Fruit

Ever since a user of a Devil Fruit meets their demise, it’s a spectacle to see how these powers get passed down to the next generation. While it’s safe to assume that almost every fruit has been through this cycle at least once, it’s the rare moments when characters actually die and transfer their fruit that truly excite us fans. Besides Whitebeard and Ace, we’ve also had the privilege of witnessing Absalom’s demise, which ultimately led to the Blackbeard Pirates acquiring the Clear-Clear Fruit and bestowing it upon Shiryu. Yet, despite the Blackbeard Pirates seeming to have uncovered the secret to effortlessly transferring abilities, most Devil Fruits are scattered randomly across the world, making them tough to find, leading to many fruits being unused in the current chapter of this epic tale.

Smiley’s Sala-Sala Fruit Model: Axolotl

A Seemingly Useless Fruit From Punk Hazard

First Appearance	Chapter 668; Episode 594
Last User	Smiley

Initially, we encounter an unusual Devil Fruit called the Sala-Sala Fruit Model: Axolotl. This is one of the earliest instances where fans witnessed the transfer of Devil Fruits. The Axolotl model grants the user the power to transform into an axolotl, a semi-aquatic creature that requires water to stay moist and thrive. However, this fruit might not be very useful due to its impracticality. Nevertheless, it was ideal for Smiley, a living poisonous weapon destined to perish, but after his demise on Punk Hazard, the fruit appeared nearby. Unfortunately, Caesar, who originally intended to reclaim it, never did so.

Monet’s Snow-Snow Fruit

An Inferior Version Of The Ice-Ice Fruit

First Appearance	Chapter 681; Episode 607
Last User	Monet

Following is the Snow-Snow Fruit, which was previously wielded by Monet during the Punk Hazard Arc, a Devil Fruit with the Snow Logia ability. This unique fruit grants its user the power to transform into and manipulate snow, serving as a less potent counterpart to the Ice-Ice Fruit. Tragically, after Monet was inadvertently slain by Caesar, the fruit resurfaced and hasn’t been spotted since then.

Rosinante’s Calm-Calm Fruit

An Interesting Fruit With A Unique Ability

First Appearance	Chapter 764; Episode 703
Last User	Rosinante

In the Dressrosa Arc, viewers met Corazon, a beloved character also known as Donquixote Rosinante, and his unique ability-giving fruit called Calm-Calm. This fruit allows the user to construct soundproof walls and silence entire areas, making it perfect for covert operations. Tragically, after Doflamingo killed his own brother, this fruit has not been seen again.

Toki’s TIme-Time Fruit

An Overpowered Devil Fruit That Shouldn’t Return

First Appearance	Chapter 920; Episode 910
Last User	Toki

Up next is Kouzuki Toki and the Time-Time Fruit, a formidable power that emerged during the Wano Arc. This ability allows the user to transport themselves or others into the future, but they must always return to the same location and cannot retrace their steps. Toki utilized this power one final time to send her son, Momonosuke, along with four of the scabbards to the contemporary era of One Piece. Unfortunately, she was then slain by the Beast Pirates, making the Devil Fruit available once more.

Kanjuro’s Brush-Brush Fruit

A Devil Fruit With A Unique Ability

First Appearance	Chapter 754; Episode 691
Last User	Kanjuro

In the Wano Arc of One Piece, following his betrayal of the land, Kanjuro along with his Brush-Brush Fruit were vanquished. This Devil Fruit granted its user the power to bring their drawings to life, enabling them to craft weapons, food, and possibly even living beings. Notably, after Kanjuro’s death at the hands of Kin’emon and Kikunojo, the Brush-Brush Fruit has not been seen in subsequent events within the series.

Orochi’s Snake-Snake Fruit Model: Yamata-no-Orochi

A Fruit Perfect For A Cowardly Ruler

First Appearance	Chapter 927; Episode 921
Last User	Orochi

In the world of “One Piece”, the last officially reinstated Devil Fruit in play is the Yamata-no-Orochi, a Snake-Snake Fruit model. This Devil Fruit previously belonged to Orochi, granting its user the power to transform into an eight-headed snake and survive decapitation seven times before expiring from the eighth blow. Following Denjiro’s fatal strike against Orochi in Wano, the fruit, like all others on the list, has been returned to circulation and hasn’t been spotted since.

Good work Smiley… let us meet again! – Caesar

In summary, while St. Saturn’s Devil Fruit, capable of transforming into a Gyuki, might still appear, it doesn’t have an official name yet. On the other hand, the other Devil Fruits, some of which may not have reappeared in the series, could be either too powerful like the Toki-Toki Fruit or too useless like the Axolotl Fruit, making it seem improbable that many of these fruits will significantly reappear in One Piece.
