One Piece Devil Fruit Guide (Anime) PS5 Xbox Release Date

Eiichiro Oda nailed plenty of things with One Piece, but the Devil Fruit system may be his biggest piece of creative freedom. With the ability to create nearly any kind of power, the rules let characters swing for the fences—while Oda also keeps a few constraints to preserve balance inside the setting. Yes, Devil Fruits exist in the manga and anime, but if you want to see the kind of “cheat code” abilities that truly break the rules, the One Piece games are where you should look.

Key takeaways

Some One Piece handheld and console games introduce brand-new Devil Fruits built for boss fights rather than canon lore.
These world-bending mechanics typically never make the jump into the manga or anime.
Simon’s Pasa Pasa no Mi lets him turn into paper and also “write” custom effects, including explosive output and healing.
Eldoraggo’s Goe Goe no Mi converts sound into energy beams, functioning like a long-range spammable railgun.
Noko’s Nemuri Nemuri no Mi traps targets in dreams and can overwrite long-term memories.
Pato’s and Patrick Redfield’s Mythical Zoans in Unlimited World Red create extreme, non-canon-style power spikes like cloned fighters and vampire-like immortality.

Why these Devil Fruits don’t belong in the main story

Console and handheld entries have a habit of inventing original Devil Fruits that are designed to prioritize spectacle and boss-battle pacing. That approach can create mechanics that run against One Piece’s established lore, stakes, and power scaling. Outside of appearances tied to filler-style stories that feel more like alternate make-believe than true canon, these “broken” Devil Fruits aren’t meant to carry into the manga or anime.

For this list, the focus stays on Devil Fruits introduced in One Piece games—with one deliberate exception.

5 Simon’s Pasa Pasa no Mi (Paper-Paper Fruit)

Yes, paper can be mightier than sand (or fire, lightning, and rubber)

Introduced in One Piece: Great Hidden Treasure of the Nanatsu Islands
Devil Fruit Type: Logia
The Power: Transforms Simon’s body into paper or lets him manipulate paper at will

It’s reasonable to ask what makes Simon’s Paper-Paper Fruit different from Crocodile’s abilities or Luffy’s Devil Fruit. On its face, the power sounds plain—until you see how Simon uses it.

On paper (pun fully intended), the fruit looks uninspired, but Simon turns it into something genuinely overpowered. He can become sheets or shards of paper, which helps him fly and cushion damage. On top of that, Simon can write symbols that trigger unique effects. Depending on what he “writes,” he can set off multiple explosions, heal himself, sharpen his reflexes, or even generate fresh attack patterns.

Devil Fruits can range from straightforward offense to “one-shot” lethality, and Simon’s version leans hard into that latter category of chaos.

Want an example of how absurd it gets? Paper has a natural enemy in fire, and Simon would normally be vulnerable to a surprise cooking scenario. Instead, he can simply write an effect that negates the damage from fire. Logia users also typically lack built-in regeneration, but Simon can still heal his injuries fairly easily.

Great Hidden Treasure of the Nanatsu Islands appears to take place around the time just before the Arabasta arc and around Crocodile’s early introduction as the series’ strongest villain at the time. In other words, Simon’s Devil Fruit is far more versatile and dangerous than Crocodile’s Suna Suna no Mi.

4 Eldoraggo’s Goe Goe no Mi (Scream-Scream Fruit)

An OP spammable long-range energy railgun

Introduced in One Piece: The Movie and One Piece: Become the Pirate King!
Devil Fruit Type: Paramecia
The Power: Converts sound into beams of energy
Eldoraggo is the exception to the “only game-introduced fruits” approach, since he debuts in One Piece: The Movie and later appears in One Piece: Become the Pirate King! a few months after the film

Just look at what this fruit does. Eldoraggo’s Devil Fruit basically turns him into a Dragon Ball-style character, because the ability functions like energy waves fired from the mouth—similar to attacks associated with fighters like Piccolo or Nappa.

In the movie, Eldoraggo doesn’t show unlimited spam, but there’s no clear indication the fruit requires extreme physical strain or that it needs a meaningful cooldown. He just screams and blasts targets away.

Could the Goe Goe no Mi fit as a late-series Devil Fruit? Sure. But it has no real reason to exist on an East Blue-stage villain. Because it shows up early, the anime-style implementation blunts its impact by giving it a Luffy-centered weakness: the Straw Hats can bounce a beam back to its source.

3 Noko’s Nemuri Nemuri no Mi (Sleep-Sleep Fruit)

If Freddy Krueger was a One Piece seahorse

Introduced in One Piece: Ocean’s Dream!
Appears in the anime’s Ocean’s Dream arc, which is filler
Devil Fruit Type: Paramecia
The Power: Traps people in their dreams and can even manipulate memories

Don’t let the cute look fool you. Noko is a vicious seahorse with a horror-worthy power. The Nemuri Nemuri no Mi releases a mist that puts enemies to sleep, which is the simple part. The nightmare escalates because the Devil Fruit can also delete or rewrite a person’s long-term memories.

In Ocean’s Dream and its remake, Dragon’s Dream, Noko knocks the Straw Hats out and then removes their memories—of who they are, what they can do, and what they mean to each other. Mechanically, that strips Luffy and the crew of their fighting know-how and opens the door for a more traditional progression system. Narratively, Noko’s Devil Fruit is pure nightmare fuel that could upend the world. The story even links this idea to Doflamingo later taking over an island using Sugar’s kind of ability.

Noko’s power is even stronger than Sugar’s in practical terms, because it doesn’t require direct contact and carries far less personal risk.

2 Pato’s Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Bake-danuki (Mythical Tanuki Fruit)

Creates perfect clones of seemingly everything

Introduced in One Piece: Unlimited World Red
Devil Fruit Type: Mythical Zoan
The Power: Transforms the user into a raccoon dog, letting them turn leaves into people, objects, or even full environments

Pato’s Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Bake-danuki is the ideal video game Devil Fruit. It gives One Piece: Unlimited World Red a way to introduce fan-favorite villains and characters without having to justify why they’re there in the first place.

Mythical Zoans are already rare and powerful by definition, but Pato pushes it to a level that can’t realistically exist inside the main storyline.

These are the strongest characters to sail the seas of the One Piece world.

While the exact strength varies, Pato can produce near-perfect copies of Hody Jones, Whitebeard, Ace, Warpol, Rob Lucci, Akainu, and even Blackbeard. All he has to do is write their names on leaves, and they manifest with their Devil Fruit powers intact. He can also create a whole simultaneous force of One Piece’s most dangerous figures—though those mass-spawned versions end up much weaker than his single, high-quality clones.

1 Patrick Redfield’s Bato Bato no Mi, Model: Vampire (Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Mythical Vampire)

Infinite youth and immortality achieved through combat

Introduced in One Piece: Unlimited World Red
Devil Fruit Type: Mythical Zoan
The Power: Vampire

I’m not sure; incorporating supernatural archetypes like vampires into One Piece feels off, like the premise doesn’t quite match the universe’s vibe. Unlimited World Red largely reinforces that discomfort with Patrick Redfield, an ancient pirate who’s essentially a straightforward vampire. Among other things, his kit includes the ability to regain youth by siphoning life force from someone else—effectively turning him into an exception to mortality.

Brook’s Yomi Yomi no Mi is probably the closest thing to a canon-compatible match, since it brings him back and prevents aging. But Brook can still die, and he doesn’t come with a laundry list of additional overpowered effects. For the most part, One Piece maintains the threat of physical decline—aging, disease, and natural deterioration. It also wouldn’t make sense to pair immunity to that with stats that sit on the same scale as legends like Gol D. Roger and Whitebeard.
