The Marine Admirals are the World Government's strongest military force in One Piece. Here's a look at the strength of their Devil Fruits.

Over the years, Devil Fruits have been elaborated upon greatly by Oda. In fact, recently, it was revealed that Devil Fruits represent a form of human evolution that is only made possible through the desires of humans. Fans have seen quite a lot of Devil Fruits in One Piece that can be categorized into different classes. At the same time, they have also seen different Devil Fruit subclasses and while all of them are special, only a few can be considered as the strongest.

8 SMILE

  • Parent Class: Zoan
  • Notable Users: Holdem, Beast Pirates Headliners

SMILE Devil Fruit are artificially created Devil Fruits that were given rise to by none other than Caesar Clown. These Devil Fruits are very powerful, however, they pose a much greater risk than any normal Devil Fruit. Essentially, only one out of the eaters of this Devil Fruit successfully gains the powers. All nine others are failures.

However, the worst part is that those who eat failed versions of this Devil Fruit are stripped of their emotions and, at the same time, they lose their ability to swim all the same. Those who do gain these powers don't even get proper abilities. Instead, their bodies turn into appendages of animals that they can then utilize and somewhat control.

Zoan is quite an interesting class of Devin Fruits. Essentially, Zoan fruits allow their users to transform into various animals. There is no limitation to which animal the user can transform into. Zoan Devil Fruits have a very large variety. Every single creature that one can think of will likely have a Zoan Devil Fruit in existence.

These Devil Fruits are special, believed to be the very best for close-range combat and they especially focus on increasing the physical attributes of the user.

6 Ancient Zoan

Ancient Zoan is a subclass of the Zoan types. These Devil Fruits are rare when compared to regular Zoans or even the Paramecia class. As the name suggests, they allow the user to transform into an ancient creature. Creatures such as dinosaurs, ancient spiders, or others along the same lines fall into this category. They are much more dangerous than regular Zoans and their strength is on a completely different level.

The biggest attribute of the Ancient Zoans is their ridiculously high endurance. They can soak up damage like a sponge and still get up. Taking them down requires incredible effort. Their physical attributes are boosted to a completely new level when compared to average Zoans and that's what makes them special.

5 Artificial Zoan

  • Notable Users: Momonosuke

While SMILES are failed Zoan fruits, Artificial Zoans can be created. Vegapunk has successfully completed this process, even though he deems it to be a failure. These Artificial Zoans are different from regular SMILES. They do not cause a side effect. In fact, eating these Devil Fruits will grant one an ability just like a normal Devil Fruit. So far, there is only one proper Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit that exists and that is the one that Momo ate.

Even though this granted him the ability to turn into a serpentine dragon, just like Kaido, this Devil Fruit is deemed to be a failure by Vegapunk. This is because the color of the dragon is pink instead of blue. For a perfectionist like him, this is a failure, however, by every other metric, this Artificial Devil Fruit is a success.

4 Paramecia

  • Parent Class: N/A
  • Notable Users: Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Big Mom

The Paramecia class is the most diverse class of Devil Fruits to exist in One Piece. It has all the miscellaneous abilities that exist in the One Piece world. Primarily, Paramecia type of Devil Fruits allow the user to either produce something from their bodies, or transform their body into some other objects, such as sharp blades. However, these abilities are not limited to them.

As mentioned earlier, Paramecia class fits about everything that exists in the One Piece world that isn't Zoan or Logia. Powers such as chopping up one's own body or producing flower-like appendages, among other abilities also fall under this class.

3 Special Paramecia

  • Parent Class: Paramecia
  • Notable Users: Katakuri

Special Paramecia is a very rare subclass of Devil Fruits and most likely the rarest in the entirety of One Piece. Only one special Paramecia Devil Fruit exists in the story and it is the one that was eaten by Katakuri, called the Mochi Mochi no Mi.

Essentially, this Devil Fruit has the properties of Logia, despite being a Paramecia. It allows Katakuri to create, turn into, as well as freely manipulate mochi at will.

2 Logia

  • Parent Class: N/A
  • Notable Users: Blackbeard, Ace, Sabo, Akainu

Believed to be the strongest class of Devil Fruits, Logia is a special category that allows the user to create, transform into, as well as manipulate any element or force of nature. Things such as transforming into lightning, light, magma, or fire fall under this class.

It is believed to be the strongest class as it offers the user incredible firepower as well as intangibility that can only be countered in limited ways. Undoubtedly, the Logia class is special in many ways.

1 Mythical Zoan

  • Parent Class: Zoan
  • Notable Users: Luffy, Kaido, Sengoku

A subclass believed to be even rarer than Logia, Mythical Zoan is an incredibly powerful class of Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into Mythical creatures. Things such as dragons or even ancient humans, such as Buddha, or gods such as Nika, fall under this subclass.

When compared to regular Zoans or even Ancient Zoans, these Devil Fruits are the best suited for combat. The fighting prowess of Mythical Zoan users is on an entirely different level altogether and they are certainly among the strongest to exist in the One Piece world.
