Oda to Reveal the Secret Power of Devil Fruits That Could Change One Piece Forever!

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece manga.

Summary

Devil Fruits are divided into 3 categories, with special types like Soul-Based Powers existing.
Soul-based powers can counter immortality, making them crucial in the final saga.
Characters like Big Mom, Brook, and Law possess Devil Fruits related to soul powers.

The narrative of One Piece is reaching its peak with the Elbaf arc unfolding in the manga. As the adversaries grow increasingly formidable, the primary characters require additional powers to outmatch them. While Haki has been a reliable method to counter numerous abilities, it seems like Eiichiro Oda could be suggesting unique types of Devil Fruits that can also negate abilities such as immortality, and only a select few possess these. Interestingly enough, one of the Straw Hats is also in possession of this ability.

The Power of the Devil Fruits in One Piece

One of the Two Main Power Systems in The Series

In the captivating realm of “One Piece”, Devil Fruits stand out as the most distinctive source of power. Unlike other narratives, they were singularly significant, serving as the primary power system in “One Piece” for quite some time. Eventually, Haki was skillfully integrated into the storyline.

Devil Fruits are categorized into three main groups: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan. Each category can further be divided. Notably, within the Paramecia group, there exists a specific subgroup referred to as Special Paramecia. To date, only one individual has been identified with a fruit from this particular subcategory, and that is Katakuri.

Among the Zoan type, we have two distinct groups: Ancient and Mythical Zoans. Conversely, with regards to Logias, as of now, there’s no recognized division or subcategory identified.

Intriguing and shrouded in mystery, Devil Fruits hold a captivating allure within the narrative. While hints of their origin have been provided, the full story is yet to be unveiled. However, it’s known that they didn’t exist during the era of the first Nika. Instead, these enigmatic fruits emerged from the collective imagination during the Second World. Much remains undisclosed about them, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what Oda might reveal next.

The Most Special Type of Devil Fruits – Soul-Based Powers

Imu’s Powers Could Also Be Related to That

In each new storyline, fresh antagonists emerge, often surpassing their predecessors in strength and ferocity. The Holy Knights and the Five Elders are two significant entities that took action during the final chapter, and they both possess a chilling power: unlimited regeneration and immortality.

Many people are curious about this skill and pondering ways to oppose it. Some fans have been speculating how one could potentially neutralize it. However, Gaban seems to possess a method, possibly involving Haki, but there might be an alternative approach hidden within a unique type of Devil Fruit.

In the world of One Piece, certain Devil Fruits possess the power to influence a user’s very soul. A prime illustration of this can be found in the character of Big Mom, who is the bearer of the Soru Soru no Mi, or the Soul Soul Fruit in English.

A notable instance is the character named Brook, who belongs to the Straw Hat Pirates. He possesses the Yomi Yomi no Mi, a devil fruit whose powers stem from spiritual capabilities.

While not immediately apparent, Law’s Devil Fruit, the Ope Ope no Mi, possesses a capability similar to this. Law is capable of swapping souls and personalities, as demonstrated during the events on Punk Hazard.

“MU WILL SHOW THEE THE DOMINION OF GODS.” — Gunko Imu

In simpler terms, it’s possible that Soul-Corroding Devil Fruits will play a significant role in the climactic part of the story, and their exploration might deepen. This power, after all, could be crucial for Big Mom’s return and potential major contributions to the plot. Elbaf is where her significance could come to light, given her past ties to this region as revealed in her backstory.

Another interpretation could be: It’s plausible that someone with abilities connected to souls is actually Saint Imu. This is because Imu appears to bestow powers upon characters and grant them immortality. Moreover, he seems capable of invading and controlling certain characters, suggesting influence over their very souls, as exemplified by Gunko’s split personality. However, the full extent of Imu’s abilities remains unclear, leaving fans eager to learn more. It’s conceivable that Imu’s powers could resemble Big Mom’s, but potentially be superior in every aspect.
