Discover the Most Dangerous Devil Fruits in One Piece!

Summary

  • The Yami Yami no Mi, or the Dark-Dark Fruit, is possibly the strongest Logia Devil Fruit, but it doubles the user’s damage taken.
  • The Hobi Hobi no Mi, wielded by Sugar, is a powerful Paramecia Devil Fruit that stops the user’s aging.
  • The Hito Hito no Mi, consumed by Tony Tony Chopper, is perhaps the worst Zoan-type Devil Fruit that has no benefits for humans.

One Piece’s main source of power is the enigmatic Devil Fruits, introduced since the show’s debut. When consumed, these fruits bestow extraordinary abilities on the eater, ranging from barely noticeable to mind-blowing. The three types of Devil Fruits – Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan – each possess unique and powerful traits that vary greatly among them.

As such, though the power-ups can be incredibly strong, all Devil Fruits come with the common drawback of taking away the user’s ability to swim. Despite this, there are some Devil Fruits in One Piece that, while powerful, come with drawbacks that are unique to them. In this article, let’s go over the Devil Fruits which have their own sets of drawbacks that can’t be seen in any others in the series.

The Yami Yami no Mi Is Perhaps The Strongest Logia Type

User: Blackbeard

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 440, “Fire Fist vs. Blackbeard”
Story Arc Enies Lobby

In simple terms, the Yami Yami no Mi, also known as the Dark-Dark Fruit, is an exceptionally potent Devil Fruit and arguably the strongest Logia type. This fruit grants Blackbeard the ability to manipulate and create darkness at will, which functions similar to a containment barrier, encompassing whatever the user desires and trapping anything inside it. What sets this fruit apart is its extraordinary power to nullify other Devil Fruit abilities, leading some to believe it’s the most powerful in the series.

Fate has chosen me to conquer this world!

Unlike most Logia Devil Fruits, Blackbeard’s doesn’t transform him into the actual element. Instead, it amplifies the damage he takes, making injuries feel twice as painful. This effect contradicts the typical ability of all other Logias, which grant their users intangibility and immunity to non-Haki-enhanced attacks. Despite the powerful offensive capabilities of the darkness fruit, this disadvantage is significant.

The Hobi Hobi no Mi Is Exceptionally Powerful And Underrated

User: Sugar

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 701, “Adventure in the Land of Love, Passion, and Toys”
Story Arc Dressrosa

Despite Sugar having a minor role in the overall storyline of One Piece, her Devil Fruit possesses one of the most potent Paramecia types. The power doesn’t typically manifest in battle scenarios but excels in deception. A simple touch from her can transform her target into a toy, effectively reducing their strength and abilities. Moreover, this transformation causes everyone to forget about the affected individual entirely.

It’s my responsibility to apologize to the young lord! I’ll change everyone in this nation back into playthings! (This version maintains the original’s tone and intent, while using more natural, conversational language.)

This extraordinary ability grants her the unique advantage of confronting formidable characters merely by touching them, yet carries a substantial drawback: once consumed, the user ceases to age naturally for the remainder of their life. At the time she ingested this fruit, Sugar was a child, thus maintaining that youthful appearance at all times, even though she’s actually 22 years old.

The Hito Hito no Mi Doesn’t Do Much For Normal People

User: Tony Tony Chopper

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 134, “Dr. Kureha”
Story Arc Drum Island

Among all characters in the series, Tony Tony Chopper stands out as a cherished and crucial figure. His life under the guidance of Dr. Hiriluk and Dr. Kureha led him to excel as a doctor, possessing an exceptional skill to swiftly diagnose and treat complex illnesses. This unique talent has allowed him to heal numerous patients over time.

I’ll become a doctor that can cure anything!

Contrarily, the Hito Hito no Mi, his Devil Fruit, is considered one of the least beneficial ones throughout the series due to its nature as a Zoan type. It’s only useful for animals as it bestows on them human-like intelligence and consciousness. When consumed by humans, however, it offers minimal advantages, with Oda himself confirming this. In fact, consuming this Devil Fruit is generally detrimental to humans because they lose their ability to swim without gaining any substantial benefits in exchange.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
