Devil Fruits are the most bizarre powers, and they make up the power system of the One Piece universe. There are more than hundreds of devil fruits scattered throughout the seas in the One Piece world. We have seen powerful devil fruits such as Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi, Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi, and many others in action. So in this detailed guide, we have summarized everything we know about Devil Fruits so far, including their origin, appearance, different types, in One Piece, and more.
Spoiler Warning:
This article contains spoilers about Devil Fruits and their types shown in the One Piece anime. We suggest you watch the anime or read the manga first to avoid ruining the intended experience.
Editor’s Note: Last updated on March 7, 2026, to include the latest information about the Devil Fruits.
What Is a Devil Fruit in One Piece?
A Devil Fruit is a mysterious fruit from the seas that endows those who consume it with superpowers and abilities in One Piece. Although the exact number of devil fruits is unknown, there are more than a hundred devil fruits known to have scattered across the world. Each of them has a distinct power, and none of them has any natural duplicates. Moreover, those who eat the Devil Fruit and gain superpowers are referred to as Devil Fruit users in One Piece.
The devil fruits are divided into three main types, some of which also have subtypes. The three basic types of devil fruits are Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia. We have discussed the Devil Fruit types in detail in the sections below.
The Devil Fruit plays a vital role in shaping the three biggest powers in the One Piece world. The four Emperors of the sea, the seven Warlords of the sea, and the Marines. Furthermore, due to the rarity factor, Devil Fruits are valued at literally hundreds of millions of berries within the One Piece world.
If you remember, Shanks once mentioned that devil fruits are considered to be the incarnation of the sea devils. But we have since learned what devil fruits actually are and how they work, thanks to Dr. Vegapunk.
How Do Devil Fruits Work in One Piece?
There is a certain way the devil fruit power system works in this world, or you can even call it the rules that apply to a devil fruit user. They are:
- A single bite of the devil’s fruit is more than enough to grant the user specific superpowers. After the first bite, it becomes a normal fruit and doesn’t grant powers to a second user.
- A devil fruit can’t be shared between two or more people, as the first person to eat the slice will get the powers immediately.
- They taste very bad in general.
- No one can predict the powers a devil fruit would give them unless they have seen it earlier in another previous user who died, or if it is mentioned in the encyclopedia.
- Consuming the devil fruit will make the user unable to swim in still waters (like the sea, river, etc.), but they won’t be affected by rain or moving waters unless half of their body is immersed.
- If a devil fruit user dies, their devil fruit will reappear somewhere in the world and can be consumed by another user. In this manner, the devil fruit cycle will continue throughout the times to come.
- No one can eat two devil fruits at once or separately, as they will blow the person up from the inside, resulting in the user’s death (except Blackbeard, whose mystery is yet to be explained)
Origin of Devil Fruits in One Piece
The precise history of the Devil Fruit’s origin hasn’t been revealed in the manga or anime just yet. However, in manga Chapter 1069, Dr. Vegapunk recently shared his take on the Devil Fruits’ origins. Although he claims it is his own theory, it appears to be the most plausible explanation we have seen in years for the unknown origin of devil fruits. So, according to Dr. Vegapunk, Devil Fruits are the manifestation of people’s dreams/ desires/ wishes/ hopes for the evolution of mankind.
Sometimes people say, “If only I could do that or this,” and well, in the One Piece world, such wishes come true in the form of Devil Fruits. For instance, someone wished for something like – “If only I could stretch or lengthen my hands or body,” which resulted in Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi devil fruit. This was previously stated by One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda when he was asked how he came up with the concept of the devil fruits in an interview.
According to Vegapunk, Devil Fruit users with power also reside in a different dimension. Their powers were only a dream of individuals who lived before them. When someone consumes a devil fruit, their lineage factor is altered, which gives them superhuman powers. Those with the DF powers are regarded as artificial or unnatural, and Mother Nature (which he refers to as the sea) hates them. You can now understand why the sea is a Devil Fruit user’s ultimate weakness.
Types of Devil Fruits in One Piece
The devil fruits have been classified by the nature of these powers. There are three main types of devil fruits, namely Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia. We have shared detailed information about each of them here:
Zoan Devil Fruits
The user can change into an animal by eating a devil fruit of the Zoan variety. This enables the user to access all the abilities of that particular species with the help of devil fruit.
For example, Rob Lucci’s Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard gave him the ability to transform into a leopard and gave him access to dangerous traits of a leopard, including strength, claws, teeth, and more. Further, the devil fruit user can also transform into a hybrid form that combines their natural body with the animal form of the devil fruit. These carnivorous animal Zoan devil fruit users are more adept at combat.
By fusing the devil fruit with inanimate objects using technology, Zoan devil fruits can be used to give them life. This was demonstrated by Spandam in the Ennies Lobby Arc, where he transformed his sword into an elephant. One of the five elders has confirmed in recent manga chapters (Chapter 1044) that all Zoan devil fruits have a will of their own. Check out the strongest devil fruit users in One Piece right here.
Sub-Types of Zoan Devil Fruits
The Zoan devil fruit type can further be divided into four subtypes, and we will explain them all in brief here:
- Carnivorous – As mentioned earlier, they grant the user the ability to transform into a carnivorous animal like a wolf, leopard, etc., which gives them the upper hand in combat. For example, Rob Lucci.
- Ancient – This type of Zoan devil fruit allows the user to transform into an ancient animal that went extinct, such as a dinosaur. The extinct species possess more strength than regular Zoan fruits. For example, X Drake’s Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus Devil Fruit enabled him to transform into a dinosaur.
- Mythical – Mythical Zoan devil fruits are the rarest type of devil fruits in the entire world, as they allowthe user to transform into mythological creatures like a Phoenix, Dragon, Eight-headed snake, and more. The mythical Zoan fruits also grant special powers and abilities to the users. For example, Marco’s Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix devil fruit enabled him to transform into a phoenix and gave him special powers. The flames he generated could heal him during the battle.
- Artificial – These Zoan devil fruits were first seen in the Punk Hazard arc when Momonosuke ate an artificial devil fruit made by Dr. Vegapunk. This transformed him into a dragon-like Kaido. Later, we learned that Caesar and Doflamingo created artificial devil fruits called SMILEs, which were seen throughout the Wano arc. These devil fruits only had a 10% success rate and were weak compared to the real Zoan devil fruits.
Logia Devil Fruits
Logia devil fruits are the rarest among the three main types of devil fruits. It gives the user supreme powers to control the natural elements. The user can also create and transform their body into that natural element. These natural elements include fire, magma, smoke, sand, ice, etc.
The transformation of the logia fruit users makes their whole body intangible. A normal person can’t touch a Logia devil fruit user, let alone fight them. But Haki users can use their ability to fight them. If you are not aware of the concept of Haki in One Piece, check out the linked article.
The Logia devil fruits are considered to give massive powers; thus, their rarity in the world makes sense. For example, Portgas D. Ace, the previous Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit user, was able to control fire at will, produce powerful fire attacks, and transform his own body.

Paramecia Devil Fruits
You can easily distinguish Paramecia Devil Fruit from the other types. Paramecia is the most common type of Devil Fruit among the three. To put it simply, unlike Zoan and Logia, it provides bizarre superpowers to its users.
These powers include the ability to manipulate their bodies, change the environment or people around them, and even objects. For example, Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi allowed him to create quakes (rumbling vibrations), and Buggy the Clown’s Chop-Chop Fruit allowed him to split his body into pieces.
There is only one type of special Paramecia Devil Fruit so far. It is Charlotte Katakuri’s Mochi Mochi no Mi devil fruit, which you can learn about through our list of the strongest Paramecia devil fruits in One Piece.
What Was the First Devil Fruit Shown in One Piece?
The first time we saw a devil fruit was in the fourth anime episode (the first manga chapter) of One Piece. It was Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit. Moreover, there is an official encyclopedia for devil fruits in the One Piece world. Additionally, this encyclopedia consists of information on all major devil fruits and their powers.
We have already seen Sanji mention it in his flashback scene in the Whole Cake Island arc. However, only limited information is available regarding the Devil Fruits encyclopedia at the moment.
Who Is the First Devil Fruit User in One Piece?
The details about the first devil fruit user are unknown, but they will be revealed soon as we get to know more about devil fruits. As of now, we only know that the oldest devil fruit user is Toki (Wife of Kozuki Oden). Her devil fruit was Toki Toki no Mi (Time-Time Fruit), which granted her the ability to time-travel herself or even others, but only forward in time.
Devil Fruits’ Appearances in One Piece
The devil fruits are similar to normal fruits but come in different colors, shapes, and sizes, and have strange swirl patterns. Each devil fruit is different from the other as there are no duplicates.
But as we will discuss below, we have seen artificial devil fruits in the story as well. They look similar to the real ones and also come in different colors with circular patterns. All these distinct devil fruits are scattered throughout the seas, and with their difference in shape and rarity, one can easily distinguish the devil fruits from normal fruits.
Undetermined Devil Fruits
There are a few devil fruits in the anime whose type is yet to be confirmed. These devil fruits come under the undetermined devil fruits section. For example, Laffitte, a crew member of the Blackbeard Pirates, showcased his Devil Fruit powers in the past, but details about the fruit haven’t been revealed yet. We hope that they will be confirmed soon in the upcoming manga chapters.
Total Number of Devil Fruits in One Piece
Though there are nearly 200 devil fruits in the franchise, the total number of devil fruits that have been shown in the One Piece universe is 167 (only canon). The accurate numbers of each devil fruit type are as follows:
| Devil Fruit Types | Numbers (Only Canon) |
|---|---|
| Zoan | 57 |
| Logia | 13 |
| Paramecia | 94 |
| Undetermined | 3 |
| Total | 167 |
We will update this table regularly. Whenever we get information about any new devil fruits in the future, we will add them to the tally here.
Awakening of Devil Fruits in One Piece
In some rare cases, the devil fruits can be awakened as well, resulting in a drastic increase in the user’s powers. The awakening of the devil fruits unlocks the fruit’s true potential and gives godly powers and abilities to the users, which seemed impossible at the beginning. In short, the awakened users can bend reality to their own will.
Awakened devil fruit users can change their surroundings according to the devil fruit they possess. Moreover, they have increased strength, precise control over their powers, and several other powers at their disposal. However, the usage takes a huge toll on the user’s body once they have used awakened powers. However, these side effects can be neglected once they begin to master their awakened powers.
Some of thepopular devil fruit users who have awakened their devil fruit are Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Eustass Kid, Charlotte Katakuri, Doflamingo, and a few others.
Now, many of you might be wondering, how does Devil Fruit awakening happen? Well, Doflamingo first mentioned Devil Fruit awakening in the Dressrosa arc. He also mentioned that this ability awakens rarely and begins to affect things other than the user’s body.
According to Kaido, when a devil fruit user reaches the point where their mind and body are in sync with their abilities, the awakening happens. It seems that Devil Fruit users can awaken their Devil Fruit in a near-death experience. For example, Luffy awakened his Devil Fruit powers on the verge of his death. More information about the awakening is being revealed slowly, so we have to wait a little more to understand the full concept behind it.
Enhancing Devil Fruit Powers Using Drugs
Drugs can be used to enhance the powers and performance of Devil Fruit users. So far, we have only seen Zoan Devil Fruit users employ any drugs in the One Piece world. Tony Tony Chopper was the first person we saw use drugs to enhance his abilities. He created a special drug called “Rumble Ball” while working with Dr. Kureha that temporarily enhanced the powers of his Devil Fruit.
As potent as they appear, these drugs also have numerous side effects. Chopper loses control of his powers when another ball is consumed without waiting for the 6-hour gap time. If he consumes a third ball, he will transform into a monster who is completely out of control and will begin attacking everything in front of him, including his friends. It will also completely drain his energy to the point of death.
However, thanks to his training and Caesar’s assistance, Chopper was able to create a rumble ball that would last 30 minutes, with the only side effect being making him a small person. His training also allowed him to access advanced forms (except the monster form) without using a rumble ball. The only person other than him to take drugs to alter the effects of Devil Fruit is Black Maria. She used drugs to change the appearance of her Devil Fruit’s Human-Beast hybrid form. But for the time being, the information about the drug and its relation to rumble ball is unknown.
One Piece Devil Fruits: Advantages and Disadvantages
The devil fruit brings the user tons of advantages as well as some disadvantages. As Thanos (From Marvel) says, “perfectly balanced as all things should be“. Here are the pros and cons of Devil Fruits in One Piece:
Advantages
- The most important advantage of devil fruits is their ability to grant superhuman powers. There are various powers suited for attack, defense, and even healing.
- A few devil fruits can also cure an incurable disease of the user. For example, Ope Ope no Mi.
- A devil fruit can’t weaken a user (as mentioned by Rob Lucci). It also depends on the user to make use of his devil fruit powers to the fullest.
Disadvantages
- Gives the user the curse of inability to swim. Even if they possess the strongest devil fruit in existence, drowning in seawater can easily kill them.
- The devil fruits are said to taste very bad, if that counts as one.
- Seastone can sap the Devil Fruit user’s energy and negate their abilities.
- The success rate of an artificial devil fruit is only 10%, which means that those who did not receive powers will also lose their ability to swim and express negative emotions. They were only seen smiling and laughing all the time, regardless of the situation.

We will update this table in case there is a modification or any new information regarding the devil fruit powers comes to light in the future. Until then, let us know your favorite devil fruit user in the comments below.
The Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits are widely regarded as the strongest, as they offer the powers of a mythical god/creature.
Zoro is not a Devil Fruit user in One Piece. He neither ate any devil fruit in the past, nor does he plan to eat one in the future.
The three main types of Devil Fruit in One Piece are Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan.
Blackbeard is the only person in the entire world to possess two Devil Fruit powers, and we have yet to receive an explanation for how that is possible.
No! Luffy’s Devil Fruit belongs to the Mythical Zoan category, and it was mistakenly categorized as Paramecia at the beginning.
