One Piece Reveals Killer New Awakened Devil Fruit Power That Makes Killingham Unstoppable!

by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Killingham is an Awakened Devil Fruit user with enhanced abilities.
  • Zoan-type users get extra transformations when awakened.
  • Killingham’s new form makes him stronger than any enemy faced by the Straw Hats.

The Elbaf arc of One Piece is growing more intense, with fans enjoying a week filled with engaging content, though much of it served as setup. In the narrative, it’s evident that Elbaf is under siege by the Holy Knights and Imu, promising an epic battle ahead. So far, the Holy Knights and Imu have gained the advantage in this conflict, which is understandable given the circumstances.

It appears that the talents of the Holy Knights have been underestimated, as it turns out they possess abilities beyond our initial expectations. Recently, creator Oda unveiled a transformed state, or an “Awakened” form, for one of the mightiest Holy Knights, Saint Rimoshifu Killingham.

The Holy Knights Have Awakened Devil Fruit Powers

  • Killingham Is An Awakened Devil Fruit User
  • Others Could Be Awakened As Well

In plain terms, the Holy Knights possess extraordinary power, and this truth is undeniable. Despite Gaban swiftly defeating one of them, it doesn’t make the Holy Knights weak; rather, it shows that Gaban is exceptionally powerful. In chapter 1151 of “One Piece,” the Holy Knights have only amplified their powers, with Killingham leading the charge in terms of advancement. Fans might remember Killingham’s initial appearance as a hybrid Kirin form; however, some may be puzzled about his transformations. Rest assured, Killingham does have a full Zoan form and a full human form besides his hybrid Kirin form.

Now that the Great One is here, I’ve taken things seriously too! — Killingham

In chapter 1151 of One Piece, viewers witnessed a fresh manifestation of Killingham, which undeniably represented his activated Devil Fruit form. It’s worth noting that, as we learned in Wano, users of the Zoan-type Devil Fruits gain an additional transformation upon awakening. This is why Luffy has Gear 5 as his awakened form, and fans were also treated to the transformations of Lucci and Kaku in Egghead. Now, another character has unveiled their activated Zoan Devil Fruit ability.

The Ability Turns Him Into A Centaur-like Creature

In the One Piece chapter 1152, Saint Killingham revealed his hidden might, transforming into his awakened Kirin state. Previously concealing his strength, it was only in this form that we could truly appreciate Killingham’s power. His appearance now resembles a centaur, retaining his human upper body while carrying his trident. Killingham is unique because when he taps into this power, his abilities are significantly amplified. This enhanced state allows him to craft dreams with greater precision and intensity compared to before.

Good, you’ve shown that you’re obedient. — Killingham

How Strong Is Saint Killingham?

It’s clear that at this stage, Killingham seems to surpass the power level of a Yonko First Commander. However, it’s tricky to pinpoint an exact measure of his strength. Yet, we can confidently assert that he will outmatch any adversary the Straw Hat crew has previously encountered, with the exception of Luffy. The upcoming battles promise excitement as we wonder who Killingham will confront next. It seems plausible that he might engage in a significant fight with one of the Straw Hat Pirates, perhaps Jinbe. Such an encounter would mark Jinbe’s first major battle as part of the Straw Hat crew, considering Who’s Who was relatively weak in comparison.

One Piece’s next chapter, number 1151, will be released in a week. As always, you can expect it to come out on Sunday. For our Japanese readers, the chapter will debut at 12AM JST on Monday. However, most international fans will gain access to the chapter on June 8. The official release date for One Piece Chapter 1151 is June 8, 2025. Excitingly, you can read it for free on Manga Plus!
