The One Piece world is littered with swordsmen, and some individuals have honed their skills to the point of being called the best. For a swordsman, Haki is the most important part in increasing their strength, but some have also eaten a Devil Fruit on top of this, which increases their strength tenfold.

It makes them very versatile in combat situations and grants them unpredictable movement, which can take their enemies off guard. Here are such individuals who have incorporated their Devil Fruit abilities with their swordplay.

Trafalgar D. Water Law

Captain of The Heart Pirates

Law awakens his Devil Fruit - One Piece
  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

Trafalgar Law is a member of the Worst Generation and one of the most prominent figures in the pirate world right now. He earned the title of Surgeon of Death due to his Devil Fruit, which is Ope Ope no Mi. The ability of this fruit allows him to cut anything and everything that is within its range. On top of that, in Wano, he awakened his Devil Fruit. It amplified his swordplay, and thanks to that, he was able to defeat one of the Four Emperors of the Seas, Big Mom, known for her brute strength and durability.

Basil Hawkins

One Of The Members Of The Worst Generation

Basil Hawkins from One Piece
  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

Hawkins was one of the allies of the Beast Pirates, and one of the first strong enemies that Luffy and Zoro faced in the initial stages of Wano. He has a very interesting Devil Fruit named Wara Wara no Mi, which allows him to create and control straws at will, and he can also incorporate it into his swordplay. He can also create a puppet that descends upon his enemies to slaughter them. It is very tricky to deal with such an ability.

Fujitora

Only Admiral With A Paramecia Devil Fruit

Fujitora makes everything float with his Zushi Zushi no Mi.
  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

Fujitora is a Marine Admiral who possesses a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit called Zushi Zushi no Mi, which allows him to control gravity at will. On top of this, he is an expert swordsman who has fought against some of the strongest opponents, such as Zoro, Sabo, and Karasu.

In all of those fights, Fujitora used his Devil Fruit elegantly, with which he halts the movement of his opponents by trapping them in a high gravity field, making them extremely vulnerable. Furthermore, in close combat, this ability shines even more as the opponent is bound to be subdued by him, as it is easy for Fujitora to land hits.

S-Hawk

A Clone Of Dracule Mihawk Himself

  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

With the abrogation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Seraphim became one of the Three Great Powers of the world. Among them is S Hawk, who was cloned from the world's strongest swordsman, and that's to that, he's an extremely powerful swordsman. He is called the strongest lifeform by Doctor Vegapunk and has abilities that put even the Pacifistas to shame.

He possesses a cloned Devil Fruit named Supa Supa no Mi, which allows him to turn any part of his body into a blade. He uses this ability alongside his swordplay to be as aggressive as possible to inflict maximum damage to the opponent in front of him.

Brook

The Musician Of The Straw Hat Pirates

  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

Brook is one of the most beloved characters in One Piece, and, from time to time, he has proven his worth. He is a swordsman who also incorporates his Devil Fruit ability with his swordplay, making it one of the most unique styles ever seen in the series.

Rokushiki is one of the most powerful skills in the world of One Piece, and these characters are the most talented users.

He infuses his soul into his sword, which makes it ice cold, and upon impact, it freezes his opponent. He prioritizes speed and precision, which is the opposite of Zoro but still very phenomenal to witness.

Shiryu

One Of The Members Of The Ten Titanic Captains

Shiryu Of The Rain One Piece
  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

It is well established that the Blackbeard Pirates have been hunting for strong Devil Fruits. They have succeeded in this task, and almost all of their crewmates have Devil Fruits. Shiryu also has one Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which allows him to become invisible to anyone's eyes. He used this ability to attack Gecko Moria, who wasn't able to sense him at all. This makes him a great threat to deal with, as he is also a phenomenal swordsman who has been praised for his swordsmanship in the past, even earning him the respect of Blackbeard.

Kizaru

One Of the Strongest Members Of The Marines

  • Devil Fruit: Yes
  • Haki: Yes

Kizaru is an Admiral who has been seen using a sword on multiple occasions. He isn't a traditional swordmaster. He uses his Logia Devil Fruit, Pika Pika no Mi, to create and control light itself, and thanks to that, he can create a light-based sword that serves the same purpose as a regular one. He is a masterful swordsman who was able to go up against Silvers Rayleigh, who himself is a phenomenal swordsman.
