One Piece: 4 Characters That Stole Their Devil Fruits From Someone Else

Devil Fruits are rare and valuable treasures found throughout the world of One Piece. Everyone wants them because they give the eater incredible powers, ranging from slightly above average to unbelievably strong. Once someone eats a Devil Fruit, they gain its ability for life, and can’t eat another. Many different types of Devil Fruits have appeared in the series, and even more remain undiscovered. Because they are so desirable, it’s not surprising that some people have stolen Devil Fruits from others.

4. Bartholomew Kuma

The Hero The World Deserved

Devil Fruit: Nikyu Nikyu no Mi
Type: Paramecia Devil Fruit

The God Valley Incident brought together all of the strongest fighters in the world of One Piece. The competition was brutal, turning the location into a chaotic battlefield. Among those present was Kuma, who was enslaved and desperately trying to survive while also pursuing his ambition: to obtain a Devil Fruit. This fruit was the reward for the event’s winners, but Kuma managed to claim it for himself. He ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, which gives him the ability to repel anything he touches with his paws. This power is incredibly versatile, offering both strong offensive capabilities for fighting and a powerful defense that makes him difficult to defeat.

3. Marshall D. Teach

One Of The Members Of The Worst Generation

Devil Fruits: Yami Yami no Mi/Gura Gura no Mi
Types: Logia Devil Fruit/Paramecia Devil Fruit

Blackbeard started as a relatively unknown member of the Whitebeard Pirates, but he quickly revealed his ambition. His rise to power began with the ruthless murder of Thatch, allowing him to steal the incredibly powerful Yami Yami no Mi – a Devil Fruit he had long sought. Later, during the Paramount War, he shocked the world by killing Whitebeard and somehow acquiring the Gura Gura no Mi, making him the first person ever to control the abilities of two Devil Fruits.

2. Kaido

World’s Strongest Creature

Devil Fruit: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu
Type: Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit

Kaido began his life as a pirate very early on and eventually joined the powerful Rocks Pirates. He always dreamed of dying in battle, and as a young pirate, he desperately wanted a Devil Fruit. He got his chance during the God Valley Incident when Big Mom intended to give a Devil Fruit to her son, Katakuri. However, Kaido intervened, ambushing Big Mom and stealing the fruit for himself. This fruit turned out to be one of the most formidable mythical Devil Fruits, giving him the power to transform into a dragon and granting him incredible defenses.

1. Monkey D. Luffy/Yamato

Saviours Of Wano Country

Devil Fruits: Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika/Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami
Type: Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits

Both Luffy and Yamato unexpectedly gained incredibly powerful Devil Fruits – essentially inheriting them from powerful figures, Shanks and Kaido, who considered them treasures. Neither of them intentionally ate the fruits, but doing so dramatically changed the course of the One Piece story. Luffy’s fruit revealed him to be the reincarnation of the Sun God Nika, while Yamato’s fruit manifested their unwavering dedication to protecting Wano Country. Luffy’s ability grants him a rubbery body, and once awakened, he can even turn his environment into rubber, making him a formidable opponent. Yamato showcased their Devil Fruit powers during their battle with Kaido.

This ability lets Yamato become a human-wolf hybrid, significantly boosting their power to the point where they could fight Kaido. Both Yamato and Kaido were incredibly powerful figures in Wano Country, strong enough to challenge the world’s best. Plus, both characters have the potential to become even more powerful as the story of One Piece goes on, and fans are excited to see Oda develop their abilities in the Final Saga.
