One Piece: These devil fruits are even more powerful than haki
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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Edema incomodando? Use isso antes de dormir e sinta a diferença. A arte do herbalismo Undo 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.

Luffy's Sun-God awakening vs. The Gorosei: Freedom meets oppression
Credits: VIZ In recent One Piece chapters, Monkey D. Luffy 's world-changing transformation into the legendary Sun God Nika has set the stage for an epic confrontation with the mysterious Five Elders (Gorosei). This battle isn't just about strength, but a powerful symbol of freedom versus control. As Egghead Island becomes the stage for a world-changing showdown, the series dives deeper into its most profound themes: liberation, truth, and the cost of power. Luffy's Nika awakening: A power born of joy and rebellion In Chapter 1044, Luffy's Devil Fruit – long thought to be the Gomu Gomu (Rubber) Fruit – is revealed to be the mythical Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. Awakening this fruit granted Luffy his new Gear 5 form, giving him incredible 'cartoon-like' powers and strength. The Nika power is tied to a legendary 'Warrior of Liberation,' a Sun God revered in slave folklore for bringing joy and freedom. True to that legend, Luffy's Gear 5 form lets him bend reality in playful ways – for example, making his rubbery body stretch to amazing lengths or even turning the battlefield into a flexible playground. As the Times of India notes, the Nika fruit's abilities 'represent complete freedom, laughter, and resistance against control,' perfectly matching Luffy's lifelong drive to protect his friends and help the oppressed. The Five Elders: Immortal guardians of a cruel order Credits: VIZ Standing across from Luffy are the Gorosei, five god-like Celestial Dragons who quietly run the World Government. These elder statesmen are immortal and enigmatic, having held power since the legendary Void Century. Chapter 1100 (and its aftermath) makes clear that the Five Elders have led the world without aging for over 800 years. In their brief true forms, they even appear as fearsome yōkai (mythical demons) with unknown powers. Chapter 1095 strongly hints at their unnatural longevity: it suggests St. Saturn (one of the elders) 'has indeed halted [his] aging process and found a way to defy conventional means of death'. In short, the Gorosei embody the old order and absolute authority – nearly unkillable overlords who have enforced the World Government's rules for centuries. The same Chapter 1100 that shows their demonic true forms reminds readers that until now the Gorosei had been seen only as human-faced politicians. Their revealed power – which can shock enemies simply by gaze – underscores how far removed from ordinary reality these figures are. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Egghead island: The battlefield where truth and power collide The Egghead Island saga builds to a clash between these two forces. Villains and heroes alike have converged on Egghead to witness Dr. Vegapunk's broadcast of the world-changing truth. As chapter 1108 ends and 1109 begins, all five Gorosei are summoned to Egghead Island to stop Vegapunk's message from airing. This sets up an 'all-out war' between the Gorosei and the Straw Hat Pirates, as one commentary explains. Luffy is now directly in Gorosei's path – and he wields the full, awakened might of the Sun God. While official chapters have only just begun to show snippets of this confrontation, it's already clear that Luffy's elastic, unpredictable Nika powers will be tested against the elders' unflinching might. A clash of ideals: Liberation vs. Control Credits: VIZ Beyond the spectacle, this showdown is deeply symbolic. Luffy, as Sun God Nika, literally becomes a figure of liberation in battle. His powers – stretching and reshaping the world around him – symbolize creativity, joy, and hope. The Times of India points out that Luffy's own beliefs 'fit with the known traits of the Nika Fruit,' especially his 'strong belief in personal freedom'. Every rubbery punch or gravity-defying move he makes is a statement of defiance against tyranny. In contrast, the Five Elders represent the antithesis of freedom: they are immortal rulers who cling to secrecy and control. Hiding the truth about Luffy's fruit for 800 years (as has been revealed) and manipulating Vegapunk for the World Government show their oppressive side. READ MORE: Red Hair vs Hawk Eyes: Shanks and Mihawk's legendary rivalry unleashed Why this battle could redefine One Piece forever In this light, the Egghead battle isn't just a fight of strength, but a clash of ideals. On one side is Sun God Nika – joy, liberation and the dreams of the common folk embodied in rubbery flesh. On the other is the Gorosei – authoritarian tradition, fear and the cold machinery of power. Luffy's victory would symbolize justice and freedom triumphing over oppression. As official chapters and interviews make clear, Eiichiro Oda has framed Luffy's awakened form to represent 'complete freedom, laughter, and resistance against control'. Readers see this in contrast to the Gorosei's demonic, scowling appearances and their intent to snuff out the truth. The stakes are as big as they come: the truth of One Piece itself versus centuries of suppressed history. Credits: VIZ By combining the verified details from the manga, a vivid picture emerges: Luffy as Sun God Nika stands for the dreams of the oppressed, wielding exuberant power and hope. The Five Elders stand for entrenched authority, their mystery and immortality underscoring how out-of-reach they seem to ordinary people. In the end, this clash on Egghead Island is poised to be a dramatic portrayal of freedom's triumph over tyranny – one that has been hinted at since Luffy's Gear 5 debut and now comes to head in the latest chapters.
