Weirdest Weapons In One Piece: Mucus, Food, Special Homies, Pop Greens, And Zoan Weapons

Summary

One Piece features unconventional weapons, including body parts and food, due to Devil Fruits.
Users like Mr. 5 use their mucus as explosives, while Big Mom creates special homies from souls.
Usopp uses Pop Greens for combat, while inanimate objects like swords can consume Zoan Devil Fruits.

In the thrilling realm of One Piece, I can’t help but marvel at its whimsical quirks! Unlike many other anime, its design elements often veer off the beaten path, creating a unique and intriguing universe. And let’s not forget about its weaponry – they’re as unorthodox as the world itself! Given that the storyline is all about clashes between pirates and the government, it’s no surprise that weapons play a crucial role.

In this world, you’d typically find common weapons like swords, firearms, and other traditional armaments. However, what sets it apart is the presence of Devil Fruits and unusual artifacts, which means fighters don’t always rely on conventional equipment. This leads to some bizarre attack strategies that you might not encounter in other stories.

1. Mucus

Users: Gem “Mr. 5” & Trebol

Associated Devil Fruit(s): Bomu Bomu no Mi and Beta Beta no Mi

Gem, often called Mr. 5, served as an agent officer within the Baroque Works criminal syndicate, aiming to conquer Alabasta. His unique Devil Fruit granted him the ability to make any body part explosive. Despite not being a formidable physical combatant, his explosions proved effective in achieving his goals. However, there were times when an adversary was beyond arm’s reach, forcing him to think outside the box and devise creative solutions.

One rather unsanitary tactic for long-range assault involved picking his nose and flinging the picked material at enemies who were far away. Given that he seemed capable of utilizing his breath and presumably other non-disgusting parts of himself to make explosives, it’s puzzling why he would opt for his nasal mucus as a weapon over others. Notably, Zoro showed his distaste when he sliced one such booger with a sword.

Through the power of his Devil Fruit, Trebol of the Donquixote Pirates would eventually employ his mucus as a potent means of offense. This slime was uniquely large, incredibly sticky, and flammable, making it a versatile yet dangerous weapon. Additionally, he could deceptively conceal his body within this mucus, leading attackers to mistakenly believe he possessed Logia powers (which he humorously clarifies that he does not when this tactic fails). One might find the ingenuity of utilizing such an unpleasant substance as a method of attack praiseworthy. However, one could also view these villains as despicable for selecting such a weapon in the first place.

2. Food

Users: The Three Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Perospero, And More

Associated Devil Fruit(s): Mochi Mochi no Mi, Shibo Shibo no Mi, Bisu Bisu no Mi, Pero Pero no Mi, and many others

Food wars in the world of One Piece can become quite heated, with the stakes being as high as the firepower and the individuals wielding it. Many Devil Fruits centered around food are frequently used by the Big Mom Pirates. Some exceptionally skilled pirates within this crew have even crafted deadly weapons from mochi (Katakuri), juice (Smoothie), and biscuits (Cracker), among other everyday consumables.

Among the Big Mom Pirates, various Devil Fruit users have abilities related to food. For instance, Charlotte Perospero can create candy, Charlotte Galette can manipulate butter, and Charlotte Opera has control over cream. Additionally, there’s a broader cooking-themed Devil Fruit that transforms ordinary objects into edible items when the user touches them (Streusen). It’s also interesting to note that many crew members seem to act as “ministers” of their respective food powers, ruling over islands related to these products in Totto Land. It’s uncertain if they gained their roles and powers simultaneously, or if it’s a coincidence, but it could suggest some deeper connection between the two.

As I watch, it’s fascinating to see how these entities manipulate their granted abilities. For instance, the pliability of the mochi and the firmness of the crackers are not just characteristics, but tools transformed into potential weapons. At times, it seems as if food-based Devil Fruits have an inherent flaw – a dreadful taste that matches their infamous reputation.

3. Special Homies

Users: Big Mom & Nami

Associated Devil Fruit(s): Soru Soru no Mi

Homies are created as a result of Big Mom’s Devil Fruit ability to control other beings’ souls when they fear her. Given her intimidating appearance and fearsome reputation, this usually works effectively. However, when there are too many souls without bodies, what can one do? Give them new ones! These repurposed souls inhabit sentient objects that typically have friendly smiley faces.

Regarding where these objects reside, the possibilities are virtually endless, but certain extraordinary individuals possess an exceptional quality: they embody the user’s own spirit. For instance, Big Mom’s special companions have this unique trait, granting her immense additional power. Her primary companions encompass Zeus, a living cloud; Prometheus, a living sun; and Napoleon, a living sword, with an uncertain noble quality. She is capable of launching various attacks through her diverse companions. Unfortunately, Nami managed to steal Zeus from Big Mom by feeding him using her clima-tact, causing him to desire her lightning balls for consumption. Since then, he has predominantly been allied with Nami and continues to serve her up until the present day.

Initially, Big Mom influenced Zeus to rethink his behavior, but she subsequently swapped him with a female cloud creature called Hera. This Hera endeavored to ingest Zeus completely in order to seize his power. By uniting with Prometheus and Napoleon, Hera transformed into a massive entity named Misery, harnessing the combined might and talents of all three entities. Nowadays, Zeus primarily resides within Nami’s climate-tact device and has the ability to meld his consciousness with the weather it generates.

4. Pop Greens

Users: Usopp & Heracles

Associated Devil Fruit(s): None

During his training in the Boin Archipelago, it was Usopp who stumbled upon these unique plants. Located within the Greenstone Forest, these quick-growing greens came to be known as ‘pop greens’. Before Usopp’s discovery, this species of plant had been cultivated by Heracles, a South Blue warrior who served as a mentor for Usopp during their timeskip period.

Beyond instructing Usopp in combat skills, Heracles also showed him how to cultivate an array of peculiar plants for battle purposes. These unique greens are frequently employed by Usopp in his weaponry collection. In the world of One Piece, he employs unconventional plants like the venus flytrap and humandrake, which are rebranded from the original mandrake, for combative purposes. However, other plants exhibit even more bizarre uses, such as transforming into shuriken shapes, a banana boat, or a massive wolf that generates shockwaves upon treading. Usopp’s latest slingshot, Kuro Kabuto, can also metamorphose into a hazardous plant when it comes into contact with water, thanks to the mysterious Bakun So grass it harbors within.

5. Zoan Weapons

Users: Babe “Mr. 4”, Spandam, And More

Associated Devil Fruit(s): Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund, Zou Zou no Mi, and Sara Sara no Mi, Model Axolotl

Zoan Devil Fruits grant their eaters the abilities of the animal related to the consumed fruit. These fruits are known for having autonomous minds, which can sometimes control the user when they awaken, similar to the jailer beasts. This characteristic has been hinted at even before it was explicitly mentioned, and a clear example is inanimate objects that seem to have ingested Zoan Devil Fruits.

This skill transforms objects into self-aware entities that typically function as companions to their wielders, and it’s frequently employed for military purposes. Characters like Lassoo, a bazooka who consumed a dachshund-like Devil Fruit, and Funkfreed, a colossal sword who ingested an elephant Devil Fruit, fall under this category. This transformation makes the weapons more akin to pets for their owners. However, it doesn’t necessarily enhance their battle capabilities. Much like his owner Spandam, Funkfreed is feeble and incredibly cowardly, so he might be more destructive as a sword if he had a skilled user.

A third illustration is Smiley, who serves less as a traditional weapon and more like a harmful substance that can be lethal upon contact. Equipped with an Axolotl Devil Fruit, it scampered happily across Punk Hazard, wreaking havoc until Caesar Clown transformed it into a petrifying gas by offering it a candy-like component it eagerly consumed before succumbing to a painful death. This unusual talent often gives the impression of making otherwise inanimate weapons appear more human-like.
