One Piece: 6 Devil Fruits That Changed The Story Forever
These Devil Fruits had the biggest impact in One Piece.
8 Hie Hie no Mi (Ice-Ice Fruit)
The Ice Fruit That Can Freeze the Battlefield
- Class: Logia
- Current User: Kuzan (Admiral Aokiji)
When it comes to controlling the stage of battle, few fruits can match the Hie Hie no Mi, wielded by former Marine Admiral Kuzan, a.k.a. Aokiji. This Logia-type fruit transforms its user into a Freezing Human, granting them the power to control and generate ice on a truly ridiculous scale. Also, this unique power effectively neutralizes the greatest weakness of all Devil Fruit users: drowning.
Aokiji can immobilize fleets, stop tsunamis, and even change a region’s climate with prolonged battles. His iconic “Ice Age” technique froze miles of ocean and stopped Whitebeard’s tidal wave cold during the Marineford War.
7 Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit)
Wielding God's Judgment from the Heavens
- Class: Logia
- Current User: Enel
Considered one of the most "invincible" abilities upon its introduction, the Goro Goro no Mi allows its user to create, control, and become lightning itself. Enel, Skypiea’s self-proclaimed god, showcased just how broken this Logia can be: 200 million volts of raw electricity, instant movement at the speed of lightning, and the power to obliterate anything not made of rubber.
What truly elevates this fruit is its synergy with Observation Haki (or "Mantra"). Enel used the fruit's power over electromagnetic waves to amplify his Mantra, creating an island-wide radar that gave him near-omniscience over his domain.
6 Pika Pika no Mi (Glint-Glint Fruit)
The Blinding Speed of Absolute Destruction
- Class: Logia
- Current User: Borsalino (Admiral Kizaru)
The Pika Pika no Mi is a Logia fruit that lets Kizaru become, control, and unleash light itself, turning him into a “Light Human” who moves and attacks at light speed. Kizaru’s attacks hit so hard and so fast, even the series’ most seasoned fighters struggle to react. His “Yasakani no Magatama” bombards the battlefield with light bullets, while his sword, “Ama no Murakumo,” proves that solid light can cut through the best of them.
Yet, there’s a catch: light is fast, but it’s also straight-line predictable. Advanced Haki users like Silvers Rayleigh have shown they can anticipate and counter Kizaru’s moves, balancing his raw speed with tactical foresight. Still, when it comes to pure kinetic energy and flashiness, the Pika Pika no Mi shines as one of the most iconic Devil Fruits in One Piece.
5 Soru Soru no Mi (Soul-Soul Fruit)
Commanding a Sentient Army by Weaponizing Fear
- Class: Paramecia
- Current User: Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)
The Soru Soru no Mi is a Paramecia fruit that allows its user to manipulate human souls. In the hands of Emperor Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), this power is terrifyingly effective. Her signature ability, "Soul Pocus," allows her to extract the lifespan from any individual who feels even a hint of fear towards her. This lets her bypass conventional durability entirely and attack an opponent's very will to live.
Big Mom uses the stolen soul fragments to create "Homies" — sentient, loyal servants made from inanimate objects or animals. Her entire territory is a living army, and she weaponizes fragments of her own powerful soul to create Special Homies like Prometheus the sun, Napoleon the hat-sword, and Hera the thundercloud. This makes her a one-woman army, whose strength is amplified by her own fearsome reputation.
4 Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit)
The Unstoppable Force of Magma
- Class: Logia
- Current User: Sakazuki (Admiral Akainu)
No fruit embodies raw destruction quite like the Magu Magu no Mi. In the hands of Fleet Admiral Akainu, it’s a weapon of mass devastation, turning its user into a living volcano. Magma doesn’t just burn — it vaporizes steel, boils oceans, and outclasses even other Logias like Ace’s Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit).
One Piece: Every Devil Fruit With Special Importance
Not every devil fruit is created equally. Some hold special importance in One Piece.
Signature attacks like “Dai Funka” and “Ryusei Kazan” transform the landscape into a molten hellscape, while Akainu’s relentless, direct approach matches the brutal nature of his power. His clash with Aokiji literally reshaped half of Punk Hazard into a volcanic inferno — a testament to the fruit’s world-altering scale.
3 Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix
The Unyielding Blue Flames of Rebirth
- Class: Mythical Zoan
- Current User: Marco
The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix is what happens when myth and combat collide. Consumed by Marco, this Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit grants full phoenix transformation, complete with legendary blue flames, not for destruction, but for healing and rebirth. Marco’s regenerative abilities are so strong, he shrugged off Admiral-level attacks and returned to the fight almost instantly.
His blue flames heal not only himself, but his allies, turning him into a mobile medic and shield. With his flight and regeneration, he acts as a high-speed interceptor, absorbing attacks from the world's strongest fighters to protect his allies and buy time for victory. The ability to keep himself and his entire army in fighting shape is a power that doesn't just win battles; it sustains wars.
2 Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit)
Spatial Mastery and Impossible Feats
- Class: Paramecia
- Current User: Trafalgar D. Water Law
Known as the "Ultimate Devil Fruit," the Ope Ope no Mi is so coveted that the World Government was once willing to pay five billion berries for it. This Paramecia fruit grants its user, Trafalgar D. Water Law, the ability to create a spherical space called a "ROOM". Inside this space, Law has absolute, god-like control over the spatial orientation of everything and everyone.
He can slice people and objects apart without harming them ("Amputate"), swap their positions instantly ("Shambles"), and even switch their minds and souls. However, this incredible control comes at a steep price: its use is incredibly draining on Law's stamina, forcing him to be a brilliant and precise tactician rather than a brute-force fighter.
1 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
The Most Liberating Power in the World
- Class: Mythical Zoan
- Current User: Monkey D. Luffy
For years, fans knew it as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, the simple fruit that gave Monkey D. Luffy his rubbery body. But its true name is the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. It's a Mythical Zoan fruit that allows the user to embody the legendary "Sun God" Nika, the "Warrior of Liberation." In Luffy’s hands, its awakened state (Gear 5) isn’t just a power-up; it’s a paradigm shift.
Reality itself becomes rubber, logic goes out the window, and the battlefield turns into a cartoon, where imagination is the only limit. The “Drums of Liberation” and cartoon physics bring pure chaos to battle, leaving even the series’ most fearsome villains scrambling to adapt. It is the ultimate expression of freedom in combat, making the impossible possible, and that’s why it’s at the top of this list.
