This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
Devil Fruits have always been the main power system in the world of One Piece, and fans know that very well. Oda introduced Devil Fruits quite early into the story as the main source of power and gradually elaborated upon them as the plot moved closer to the Grand Line.
One Piece: Oda Has Already Confirmed A Big Defeat For Luffy
Luffy's defeat is up ahead. Oda has already set it up in One Piece.
With One Piece now having continued for decades, it is no surprise to know that there are a ton of Devil Fruits in the series out there. That said, only a handful can be considered the strongest. In fact, Oda has already revealed the mightiest Devil Fruits in the series so far, and much to the surprise of the fans, it isn't Luffy's Nika fruit.
The Yami Yami no Mi Is The Most Overpowered Devil Fruit
- Blackbeard Has The Yami Yami no Mi
- Teach Called It The Strongest Ability
While Luffy's Nika Devil Fruit is certainly very impressive and most definitely among the strongest, it isn't above all fruits. Oda has already established the strongest Devil Fruit ability of all in the story, and the title goes to the Yami Yami no Mi, which belongs to Yonko Blackbeard right now. The powers of this Devil Fruit were first revealed to the fans during Blackbeard vs Ace, and it goes without saying that they are truly terrifying.
This power chose me, Ace! With this power, I'm invincible. — Marshall D. Teach about the Yami Yami no Mi
Despite being a Logia, the Yami Yami no Mi doesn't allow the user to become the element. At the same time, any pain the suet takes is also doubled. However, in return, it allows the user to cancel out other Devil Fruits’ powers. At the same time, it also allows the user to channel the power of infinite gravity, which is impossible to escape from. Blackbeard himself confirms it to be the strongest of all abilities.
The Gura Gura no Mi Has The Highest Firepower
The Devil Fruit Is Comparable To An Ancient Weapon
While the Yami Yami no Mi is the strongest Devil Fruit overall, if one speaks of attacking firepower, then a completely different Devil Fruit enters the equation. As confirmed by Oda himself, the strongest Devil Fruit in terms of firepower is the Gura Gura no Mi, which belonged to Whitebeard once and is now in Blackbeard's possession. This fruit allows the user to create quakes and cause tsunamis, sinking islands with ease. As such, this fruit holds the power to destroy the world.
One Piece: Oda Officially Reveals The Inheritor Of Rocks D. Xebec's Power
Rocks D. Xebec's powers has been passed down. And Blackbeard isn't the inheritor.
That man has the power to destroy the whole world. Don't think our numbers mean anything. It could be us who are wiped out here today. — Sengoku on facing Whitebeard
The Nika Fruit Is The Most Ridiculous
While the Nika Devil Fruit certainly isn't as overpowered as the Yami Yami no Mi or the Gura Gura no Mi, it isn't far off either. It is already up there with the most mystical powers and it officially holds the title for being the most ridiculous power to ever exist. In a way, Luffy can rival anyone with his ability, but it's severely limited by how much the user can imagine.
When I was a kid, I thought to myself: man I would love to draw a manga with the most hyped final stage! I wonder if I'm up to it! Now, we have only a tiny bit of Wano arc left, the preparations are almost done. Took me 25 years lol. That said, it's fine if you start reading from this point on. Because from this point on...it'll be... The ONE PIECE!! The mysteries of this world, I'll be drawing all of them! It'll be super interesting! Fasten your seatbelt! And please stay with me for a bit longer! — Eiichiro Oda, Author of One Piece, 2022
