This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.
The final arc of *One Piece* has been underway for around two years, giving the author, Oda, time to introduce incredibly powerful characters and abilities. As the story reaches its climax, it’s not surprising that we’re seeing the strongest Devil Fruit and Haki users revealed.
The biggest war in the story is quickly approaching, and now is the time for the author to reveal who the most powerful characters are. Fans already know, thanks to confirmation from the author, that Blackbeard is currently the strongest Devil Fruit user in *One Piece*. He has two incredibly powerful abilities: the Yami Yami no Mi, considered the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, and the Gura Gura no Mi, the strongest Paramecia-type.
Oda Confirms The Strongest Devil Fruit User Of The Current Era Is Blackbeard
Blackbeard Has Two Devil Fruit Abilities
- He can nullify other Devil Fruit abilities
- He can destroy the world with the Gura Gura no Mi
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of *One Piece*, revealed a while ago who the most powerful Devil Fruit user currently is. Simply having more Devil Fruits than others gives a significant advantage, and Blackbeard possesses two – most characters only have one. What’s more, Blackbeard’s Devil Fruits are considered the strongest of their types.

He possesses a powerful Devil Fruit known as the Yami Yami no Mi, which is considered the strongest of its type. This fruit grants him control over darkness, effectively giving him control over gravity itself. He can use a technique called Vortex to pull in anything, even light. Most importantly, his ability can completely negate the powers of other Devil Fruit users.
Blackbeard possesses what’s considered the most powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Gura Gura no Mi. This fruit is incredibly destructive, capable of causing massive earthquakes, sinking islands, creating tsunamis, and generally unleashing natural disasters. It’s essentially a force of nature itself.
What Blackbeard Being the Strongest Devil Fruit User Means For the Final Saga
Blackbeard Will Be One Of The Final Villains Of One Piece
It’s obvious that Blackbeard possesses two incredibly powerful Devil Fruits in *One Piece*, and fans expect him to become even stronger with them. Considering he’s likely one of the final villains in the series, it makes sense that he’d have such a formidable ability.

Blackbeard might even unlock a new level of power, potentially becoming the strongest Devil Fruit user not just currently, but of all time. Many fans predict he’ll achieve this by acquiring another Devil Fruit, further enhancing his already immense abilities. Even without it, though, Blackbeard is currently considered the strongest Devil Fruit user in the world of One Piece.
The next chapter of One Piece will be released this week, as it typically is on Sundays. In Japan, it becomes available at midnight on Monday (JST). The official release date is September 14, 2025, and fans can read it for free on Manga Plus.
