One Piece’s Secret Devil Fruit That Most Fans Miss

by

Summary

  • A shark in One Piece owns a secret, mysterious Devil Fruit in his fridge.
  • The Devil Fruit’s abilities and significance remain unknown, sparking fan theories.
  • Unlikely to return, the Devil Fruit may have been a random detail for fantastical effect.

One Pieces’ Devil Fruits have consistently played a crucial role, serving both as a power system and a rich source of lore. Iconic Devil Fruits such as the Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika have significantly influenced the narrative’s direction, making fans constantly eager for more influential Devil Fruits. Speculating about the next potential God Devil Fruit, deciphering new Devil Fruits’ abilities, and even predicting upcoming Devil Fruits in the story are common pastimes among One Piece theorists.

What many fans of One Piece may have overlooked is a hidden Devil Fruit, which Oda appears to have concealed subtly. This particular Devil Fruit, originating from a side story, has only made a single appearance and was quite diminutive at its first unveiling. Consequently, this enigmatic Devil Fruit has become something that many fans tend to overlook in One Piece.

Hachi Has A Cover Story That Was Never Animated In One Piece

This Bridges The Gap Between Arlong Park And Sabaody

In the “Arlong Park” storyline of “One Piece”, Hachi was initially introduced as a member of Arlong’s pirate crew, serving as a minor antagonist for Zoro. However, unlike his ruthless comrades, Hachi exhibited remarkable kindness, which made his ongoing relevance to the plot surprising. During the “Sabaody Archipelago” arc, Hachi shifted from being an adversary to a significant ally of the Straw Hat Pirates. The anime, however, does not provide much insight into how Hachi managed to break free from the Marines who apprehended the Arlong Pirates following their defeat, leaving this detail unexplained.

Fortunately, prior events involving Hachi were once detailed in a One Piece Cover Story that never made it to the anime. In this alternate narrative, the ex-villain Hachi successfully eludes capture by the Marines and embarks on an oceanic journey. Shortly following his escape, Hachi extends a helping hand to a shark, who graciously repays him with some food. Subsequently, the octopus character known as Fishman continues his voyages.

A Shark Has A Secret Devil Fruit In His Fridge

Hachi Didn’t Even Notice It Was There

  • A Shark Possesses A Devil Fruit In One Piece
  • This Fruit Hasn’t Been Mentioned Sense

It might appear trivial, but the shark aided by Hachi conceals a mystery within his refrigerator. Tucked away among the fish, there’s a big fruit with the distinctive stem and swirls reminiscent of a Devil Fruit from One Piece. However, since this detail was exclusive to Cover Story and didn’t surface in the scene it featured, little is known about this Devil Fruit other than its existence and the fact that it belongs to a shark.

It’s possible that the properties of this Devil Fruit could become significant later on. Some enthusiasts speculate that it might be the legendary Water-Water Fruit from One Piece, sparking various discussions among fans. Others guess that the shark may eat the fruit, making it the first fish to possess a Devil Fruit. However, we’re unsure how the vulnerabilities of these fruits would affect the shark in this scenario.

This Devil Fruit Probably Won’t Return In The Story

It Has Been Gone For So Long In One Piece

Despite the “One Piece” Cover Story chapter having been published in 2001, it appears extremely improbable that this Devil Fruit will resurface in the story. It seems more plausible that this Devil Fruit was used as a creative element to enhance the scene’s fantastical quality, rather than being a crucial plot point hinted at over the past 25 years. In fact, some fans argue that the fruit could be nothing more than an oddly shaped pot with no relevance whatsoever in the storyline.

Over time, I’ve found it intriguing that Eiichiro Oda, the creator of “One Piece,” casually inserted a baffling Devil Fruit into one of his side stories. What makes this even more peculiar is that this seemingly inconsequential fruit has ended up in a shark’s possession and hasn’t resurfaced in the main story for over 25 years. This mysterious fruit could be the legendary Water-Water Fruit that fans have long speculated about, or something far less complex. Regardless, it seems unlikely that we’ll ever uncover the true significance of this Devil Fruit in “One Piece.” Here’s hoping that fans will eventually get some resolution regarding this enigmatic fruit before the series concludes.
