This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf arc.
One Piece's Final Saga has been going on for about two years now, and that's enough time for Oda to reveal some of the most overpowered characters in the story, and at the same time, introduce some overpowered abilities as well. With the story now in the Final phase, it is no surprise to know that Oda has revealed the strongest Devil Fruit users, and even the strongest Haki users of the era.
One Piece: Oda Officially Reveals The Inheritor Of Rocks And Roger's Power
Rocks and Roger have left a huge legacy behind. This character inherited their techniques from One Piece.
After all, the biggest of all wars is approaching with each passing chapter, and this is the time for Oda to show the fans who possesses the strongest abilities. As far as the strongest Devil Fruit user in One Piece goes, fans know very well that Oda has already confirmed it to be Blackbeard. He possesses two of the strongest Devil Fruits. Blackbeard has the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Yami Yami no Mi, and he also has the strongest Paramecia-type, the Gura Gura no Mi.
Oda Confirms The Strongest Devil Fruit User Of The Current Era Is Blackbeard
Blackbeard Has Two Devil Fruit Abilities
- He can nullify other Devil Fruit abilities
- He can destroy the world with the Gura Gura no Mi
Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, confirmed the strongest Devil Fruit user of the current era long ago. When it comes strictly to Devil Fruit, having a numerical advantage is already a big thing. Blackbeard has two Devil Fruits while most others have one. But that's not all. Fans also know that Blackbeard has two Devil Fruits that are the strongest of their class.
With this power, I'm finally invincible! — Blackbeard after eating the Gura Gura no Mi
He has a Logia-type Devil Fruit, called the Yami Yami no Mi, and it is canonically stated to be the strongest Logia ability. With it, he can control darkness, which means he has infinite gravity. He can suck in anything with his Vortex, even light. Above all, he can nullify all other Devil Fruit powers.
One Piece: Oda Has Officially Confirmed A Final Villain Even Bigger Than Imu
Imu is a huge villain, but this character might be a bigger threat at the end of One Piece.
Blackbeard also has the strongest Paramecia-type ability, and that's the Gura Gura no Mi. This power is so strong that it can destroy the whole world. It can cause quakes that can sink islands, tilt oceans, cause tsunamis, and whatnot. This fruit is natural disaster itself.
What Blackbeard Being the Strongest Devil Fruit User Means For the Final Saga
Blackbeard Will Be One Of The Final Villains Of One Piece
Clearly, Blackbeard has two of the most overpowered Devil Fruits in One Piece and fans know very well that he will continue to improve upon them. The fact is that Blackbeard is one of the final villains of One Piece, so he absolutely needed to have a mighty ability.
I would never let the Navy have such an ability. — Blackbeard
In fact, he might even go one step further and awaken his powers. If Blackbeard manages to do that, then fans will, undoubtedly, see him become not just the strongest Devil Fruit user of the current era, but also the strongest Devil Fruit user in general. Blackbeard could also take his immense Devil Fruit powers one step further if he steals another Devil Fruit, as most fans believe that he will. For now, however, Blackbeard is the strongest Devil Fruit user in One Piece either way.
One Piece's next chapter will be out this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. The official release date for the next One Piece Chapter is September 14, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
