One Piece: These Devil Fruits Are The Best Counters To Haki

While no Devil Fruit offers absolute immunity to Haki, certain fruits showcase a stronger resistance compared to others.

In the sprawling world of One Piece, I’ve noticed a certain power that stands out among all others – Haki. This mysterious force is often hailed as the supreme ability one could possess, even going so far as for Kaido to declare it as the key to dominating the Grand Line. While Devil Fruits have long been the backbone of this series’ power system, there’s a growing consensus that Haki has usurped their throne as the most significant power source. This is especially evident among some of the series’ strongest characters, such as Roger and Shanks, who wielded no Devil Fruit whatsoever but were still formidable forces to be reckoned with.

In the world of One Piece, certain Devil Fruits possess unique abilities that make them particularly effective against other users of Devil Fruits and offer increased resistance to Haki. Although no Devil Fruit is completely invulnerable to Haki, there are a select few whose special powers provide them with superior protection compared to others. Let’s explore the top Devil Fruits that can counteract Haki effectively.

The Bara Bara no Mi Has Exceptionally Potent Defensive Properties

Buggy Can Separate His Body And Even Fly

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 9, “Devilish Woman”
Story Arc	Orange Town

Allows great defense against Armament Haki.

In the community, there’s a common belief that the Bara Bara no Mi might be exceptionally powerful, especially when wielded by anyone other than Buggy, given his lack of interest in mastering its uses. As of now, Buggy is the only known user, and this fruit grants an extraordinary ability: the power to divide one’s body into various parts, which can be separated at will. Upon first glance, it might appear less potent, but upon closer inspection, its usefulness becomes evident.

I know that miracles don’t come too often!

As a bystander, I’ve noticed that many people exaggerate its power due to its prominence during the Marineford War, where it was displayed as a Devil Fruit capable of withstanding cuts from the world’s mightiest swordsman. While Armament Haki is often employed to empower weapons, Buggy’s unique ability to divide his body into numerous fragments allows him to dodge any slashes from these enchanted blades, regardless of their potency.

The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu Is The Second-Strongest Mythical Zoan

Kaido Was Known For His Incredible Durability

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 921, “Shutenamru”
Story Arc	Wano

It gives Kaido insane durability.

Typically, Haki serves as a versatile countermeasure for all sorts of defensive Devil Fruits because it can nullify some of their key abilities, like the invincibility of all Logia types. Yet, Kaido’s Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is one of the strongest Devil Fruits in the narrative, boasting both impressive offensive and defensive capabilities. By transforming into various forms, this Dragon Fruit empowers the King of Beasts to lay waste to entire cities with incredible destructive potential.

Only Haki… can transcend all!

Many people believe that Kaido’s incredible durability, which allows him to withstand even the toughest attacks due to his dragon scales, makes him a formidable opponent against Haki. Despite wanting to die, Kaido has never been properly killed because of this durability. In the Wano arc, it was difficult for most characters to hurt Kaido through his scales, but Luffy was eventually able to do so using his advanced mastery of Conqueror’s Haki and his powerful Gear 5 form.

The Barriers From The Bari Bari no Mi Are Impossible For Anyone To Destroy

The Barriers Allowed Great Defense Even Against Haki

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 708, “Colosseum of Scoundrels”
Story Arc	Dressrosa

The barriers created by this fruit are almost indestructible.

Many devotees consider the Bari Bari no Mi to be the most exceptional defensive Devil Fruit in the entire series due to its primary ability to construct impenetrable barriers. Even when large amounts of Haki are employed, these barriers prove nearly impassable. A noteworthy illustration of this power’s effectiveness can be seen with its previous user, Kurozumi Semimaru, who successfully defended against one of the most skilled Haki users ever, Kozuki Oden.

When I’m crossing my fingers like this, no one can break the barriers!

Remarkably, Oden’s accomplishment stands out as impressive because he was not just proficient in Conqueror’s Haki, but he derived all his strength from mastering it, demonstrating the immense power that the fruit’s limitations can contain. Currently, Bartolomeo is known to wield this ability, and his defensive barriers were proven strong enough to withstand a formidable strike from Elizabello – an attack renowned as one of the most powerful in the entire narrative.

Law’s Ope Ope no Mi May Just Be The Most Broken Devil Fruit Out There

This Fruit Allows Law To Do Whatever He Wants

First Appearance	One Piece, Chapter 504, “Pirate Front Line on the Move”
Story Arc	Sabaody

One of the strongest fruits out there.

In my observation, when it comes to versatility and freedom of use, only a handful of Devil Fruits surpass Law’s Ope Ope no Mi. This unique fruit essentially transforms the entire world into Law’s personal surgical table, allowing him to utilize its full potential due to his extensive medical background. His signature technique, Room, enables him to meticulously control everything within a space he creates with just one gesture, making it a truly formidable ability.

The weak don’t get to decide anything, not even how they die!

Within the bounds of Law’s influence, an individual may face extreme consequences, ranging from dismemberment to personality swaps with other bodies. Inside the sphere where Law’s power operates, not even Haki can offer protection or salvation to those ensnared; Vergo’s entire body was shattered into fragments despite being thoroughly fortified with Haki. This fruit is so valuable it commands a price of 5 billion berries for good reason.
