What might surprise you is that some Devil Fruits in One Piece are so OP, they even defeat the power of Haki itself. Here's why powers like Luffy's Nika fruit and others are OP greater than Haki.
One Piece , the smash hit anime and manga series from creator Eiichiro Oda, is lauded all over the world for its zany powers, spectacular fights, and vast world ripe for adventure. In this world, most of our protagonists (and antagonists) acquire superhuman abilities through ingesting mystical fruits known as Devil Fruits, each of which can bestow abilities ranging from the fiery and fearsome to the absurdly humorous and everything in between.
Over the years, an alternative power system known as Haki rose to prominence, particularly amongst the elite of the New World.
Haki Haki, another kind of spiritual energy, lets characters do everything from sense unseen enemies to harden their bodies and overpower opponents with the force of their will. Today, it is regarded as the ultimate measure of might for pirate kings and warlords. Some Devil Fruits are just ridiculously overpowered to the point they can nullify the absolute top tiers of Haki, yes, the advanced ones, yes, even Conqueror's Haki.

We're diving into the strongest Devil Fruits that you'll find in One Piece, taking Haki's inherent power out of the equation.
Luffy's nika fruit – The most overpowered devil fruit in One Piece
The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika gives Luffy god-like powers
Years went by, making the fans believe that the protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, consumed the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a rubber-inspired Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. One of the greatest surprises in the Wano arc is that Luffy's power does not stem from the Gomu Gomu no Mi but from the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that grants him the power of the "Sun God" Nika.
Thanks to this magical fruit, Luffy has the ability to bend reality to cartoonish extremes. He can bounce projectiles back, swell to gigantic proportions, dash through the air, and even manipulate the very ground around him. His Gear 5 form makes him nearly impossible to kill. Even the most Haki-happy of users haven't shown abilities this chaotic or uncontrollable.
With this power, Luffy was able to conquer Kaido, the man who claimed Haki was the strongest power there is.
That goes a long way to indicate just how absolutely bonkers the Nika Fruit actually is.
The quake-quake Fruit – The power to destroy the world
Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi proves raw power can beat any Haki
The Gura Gura no Mi, or Quake-Quake Fruit, which had formerly been wielded by Whitebeard, the world's strongest man. This Paramecia-type Devil Fruit is capable of generating colossal shockwaves that can devastate entire islands, part seas, and even tear the sky apart.
In fact, during the Marineford War, this fruit was so feared that even the Navy Admirals and Sengoku felt that Whitebeard could destroy the entire world. Long after his passing, the fruit's strength continued to keep society safe until it fell into the wrong hands of the notorious Blackbeard who stole it and wreaked havoc instantly.
Haki might let you defend against damage or psychically overpower your foes, but the sheer cataclysmic destructive power of the Gura Gura no Mi can bypass any defense.
It's the max power physically possible.
Kaido's dragon fruit – One of the strongest zoan fruits ever
The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu gave Kaido massive strength and flight
Kaido, the Wano arc's main villain and the last major antagonist in this series' run, possessed one of the most varied and, arguably, overwhelmingly powerful Devil Fruits in the series, the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu — a Mythical Zoan-type fruit which turned him into a massive dragon.
This devil fruit allowed Kaido a wealth of powers, including but not limited to flight, fire breath, massive claws and even the ability to raise an entire island from the depths with flame clouds.
He could even shift from dragon to human form in the middle of a fight, making him elusive and lethal.
In the world of One Piece, even Kaido himself thought that Haki trumped Devil Fruits. Even with Advanced Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's Haki, Luffy still wasn't able to take him down until he unlocked the true powers of his own fruit. That's just how strong Kaido's Devil Fruit was.
Could devil fruits be the real key to conquering the new world?
Haki is extremely strong, but these Devil Fruits are something else entirely.
In the world of One Piece, almost every single elite powerhouse uses Haki and a Devil Fruit. Some fruits are so unbalanced, they allow users to overpower even the toughest Haki users. Be it warping reality like Luffy, shaking the earth like Whitebeard, or becoming an incomprehensible force of nature like Kaido, these powers show that despite Haki's countering capabilities, Devil Fruits still have the upper hand in some situations.
As much as Conqueror's Haki is the most feared power, the right Devil Fruit used correctly can win any fight.
