This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

In the captivating world of One Piece, it’s the Devil Fruits that truly hold the essence of power. While Haki might catch some eyes, it’s the Devil Fruits that have consistently left fans in awe over the years. These magical fruits bestow extraordinary abilities upon their possessors, but with a unique twist – they rob them of the ability to swim!

The variety of powers these fruits imbue is nothing short of astonishing. Some transform the user into animals, others into elements of nature, and yet others into objects that are either naturally occurring or artificially created. The spectrum of abilities these fruits offer is truly diverse, making each character unique in their own right.

In the world of One Piece, Luffy’s Nika Devil Fruit is often noted as one of the most exceptional among all consumed fruits. Post-awakening, this fruit grants him an immense strength that can be quite formidable. However, it’s important to mention that Monkey D. Dragon, his father, also possesses a highly potent Devil Fruit, and its abilities might even surpass Luffy’s in terms of destructive power.

Luffy’s Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika Is The Most Ridiculous Ability

  • Luffy Ate The Devil Fruit 12 Years Ago
  • The Devil Fruit Awakened In Wano

One Piece’s Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is one of the mightiest fruits fans have encountered, though it didn’t initially appear so potent. Its true strength was unveiled post-awakening. When Luffy activated his fruit during the battle against Kaido, the Five Elders underscored its divine nature – a God’s power, they said. Furthermore, this Devil Fruit stands out as uniquely special due to its ability to grant the user incredible liberty in combat, with their imagination serving as the only limitation on their fighting style.

In the annals of history, this unique Devil Fruit holds an unmatched absurdity in its power. Luffy is recognized as the third bearer of the Nika, with the first one believed to have lived approximately 3000 years ago, and the second during what’s known as the Void Century, which falls roughly between 900-800 years ago.

Dragon’s Devil Fruit Will Have Godly Power

Dragon’s Devil Fruit Has Been Confirmed Already

It has been established by Oda that Monkey D. Dragon possesses a Devil Fruit. In Logue Town, he utilized his supernatural abilities to rescue Luffy, primarily creating a colossal storm with an unexpected drop in air pressure and rapid gusts. This storm also brought about a lightning bolt that struck Luffy. Furthermore, Dragon is known to have used a specific technique called Wind Blast in Logue Town, which some fans might not have noticed. In the past, at I’m Goa Kingdom, he harnessed his powers to clear a path through the flames and save the inhabitants of Grey Terminal from a fire.

Dragon Had A Wind/Storm Devil Fruit

It’s evident that Dragon’s Devil Fruit grants control over weather, and there are just two potential fruits for him. One is the Wind-Wind Fruit, a Logia type ability that lets him freely manipulate winds. The second could be the Storm-Storm Fruit, which would enable not only wind but also other elements’ manipulation, like lightning. Regardless of the choice, Dragon should be at least a Yonko level character, if not more powerful.

In about two weeks from now, the next chapter of One Piece, titled Chapter 1158, will be released. Typically, new chapters are published on Sundays. In Japan, the release happens at midnight (JST) on Monday. However, for most international readers, you’ll be able to access the chapter on August 31. The official launch date is August 31, 2025.
