Highlights

  • Devil Fruit Awakening is a rare power achieved by only a few in the One Piece world, requiring complete mastery of the fruit.
  • Many characters, such as Sengoku, Crocodile, Boa Hancock, Sakazuki, Blackbeard, and the Five Elders, are strong candidates for possessing awakened Devil Fruits.
  • The sovereign Imu, who has recently shown incredible power, is likely to have an awakened Devil Fruit, though its exact ability remains unknown.

Devil Fruit Awakening is a special power that not many people in the One Piece world can achieve. Only a handful of people possess the skill to awaken a Devil fruit after completely mastering them. As Kaido put it, Devil Fruit Awakening happens when the mind of the user catches up with their Devil Fruit ability.
