One Piece: This Logia May Have Been A God Fruit All Along

by

This article contains potential spoilers for One Piece.

In the world of One Piece, while ‘God Fruits’ aren’t recognized as an official concept, many fans speculate about their existence due to their supposed status as the most potent and significant Devil Fruits in the series. Indications of their presence can be found in Skypiea and are further supported by the Elbaf Mural and Harley Texts. However, despite these hints, only one God Fruit has been observed so far: Luffy’s remarkable Nika fruit.

There’s a widely-held fan speculation that one specific Logia Devil Fruit could be considered a God Fruit within the One Piece universe. Although its links to the Elbaf Mural and Harley Texts are tenuous, the immense power and unique characteristics of this fruit have led many to believe it might be a divine artifact. Here’s a closer look at whether or not this theory holds water.

Many Fans Believe Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi To Be A Hidden God Fruit

In the world of “One Piece”, Devil Fruits serve as the principal source of power for their users, offering some of the most remarkable abilities imaginable. Each fruit’s power is distinctive and tailored, but they generally belong to one of three types: Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan. Regardless of the differences, these fruits abide by a set of rules and share common weaknesses, with no exceptions.

The Yami Yami no Mi, while not explicitly overpowered for its setting, possesses an extraordinary capability that appears excessively strong. This fruit, being a Logia type, allows its user to generate and manipulate darkness, effectively making them a mobile black hole capable of consuming anything, regardless of size or weight. For instance, Blackbeard once swallowed an entire town in his battle against Ace. The unique appeal of this Devil Fruit, and the reason for Blackbeard’s initial interest, lies in its power to nullify other Devil Fruit abilities.

For numerous years, I sailed aboard Whitebeard’s vessel, believing it to be our best hope in acquiring that elusive fruit. After a prolonged search, however, my determination waned. Yet, miraculously, my crewmates eventually discovered the fruit!

Observing closely, it seems Blackbeard harnesses the alluring gravitational pull inherent in his devil fruit, drawing others into the palm of his hand. Once he makes contact, the unfortunate individuals lose their powers granted by their own devil fruits for as long as he holds them. This unique ability has led many to deem it the most potent devil fruit in existence, possibly even surpassing Luffy’s Nika fruit due to its nullifying properties. A popular theory also suggests that the Yami Yami no Mi’s capacity to confine things within its shadows is responsible for Blackbeard’s extraordinary ability to wield multiple devil fruits simultaneously, as their powers are effectively trapped inside it.

In simpler terms, for numerous individuals, this particular Devil Fruit is often considered extraordinarily potent because it can neutralize or weaken other Devil Fruits’ abilities, making it second only to the ocean in this regard. As a result, some people speculate that this fruit has been a divine fruit all along, and it remains the most effective strategy for combating Luffy when he transforms into his Gear 5 Nika form. A simple touch from Blackbeard could strip Luffy of all these powers.

As an avid enthusiast, I’ve been pondering about the intriguing connection between the Elbaf Mural, Harley Texts, and the mysterious fruit. This theory, though speculative, is captivating due to its focus on the extraordinary power and seemingly unbalanced attributes of this fruit.

While it’s not explicitly stated, a dedicated group of fans propose an intriguing possibility: Could this fruit be none other than the enigmatic Serpent of Hellfire from the First World? The texts hint at a world plunged into death and darkness following the serpent’s arrival, which could potentially link to our mysterious fruit.

This is just one perspective among many, but it certainly sparks curiosity!

In various Harley Texts, there’s a recurring focus on ‘the void’ and ‘darkness’, leading some to speculate that these concepts may shed light on the nature and immense significance of the Yami Yami no Mi. Over time, it will become clear if this renowned Devil Fruit has been a God Fruit all along. However, at present, there’s a strong possibility that it indeed is one.

How This Fruit Makes Blackbeard The Perfect Final Opponent For Luffy

A Perfect Match-up

  • Their fruits line up perfectly.

Currently, one of the most intense discussions among fans of the “One Piece” series revolves around speculating who the final villain might be. Some believe it will be Imu, given the strong hints that have been dropped throughout the storyline so far. Others argue that Blackbeard has been foreshadowed as Luffy’s counterpart and their narratives complement each other more effectively. The evidence seems to point towards Blackbeard being the final villain, strengthened by the significance given to Rocks D. Xebec and his ancestry in the Elbaf flashback.

The Yami Yami no Mi stands as a stark contrast to Luffy’s Nika Fruit. Following its revelation in Wano, Luffy’s Gear 5 has emerged as the most significant power-up in the series. With this form, Luffy defeated Kaido and Kizaru, and even held off the Gorosei to some extent, all while still mastering the fruit. This indicates that few, if any, powers can rival Gear 5’s potential.

As a die-hard One Piece fan, I’ve always felt that Blackbeard was destined to be Luffy’s ultimate nemesis. For years, Oda has hinted that the key to defeating Gear 5 Luffy lies in negating his primary strength, and the only way to do that is by wielding the Yami Yami no Mi – the Devil Fruit Blackbeard now possesses.

Blackbeard may not be the most physically formidable opponent, but his cunning and relentless intellect make him a perfect fit for this Devil Fruit. His ability to manipulate others and outsmart adversaries will certainly test Luffy’s resilience and strategic acumen, making their showdown a truly epic battle of wits and wills.

As an observer, I’ve noticed that the narrative cleverly presents Blackbeard and Luffy’s encounter as a test of wills rather than physical strength. Each character represents a unique journey towards power, with Blackbeard’s Devil Fruit adding another wildcard to the mix, potentially overpowering One Piece’s most significant force of liberation. This anticipated showdown in the Final War promises to be even more intriguing due to this fascinating dynamic.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
