One Piece: 8 Devil Fruits That Surpass The Five Elders

The Five Elders are among the highest-ranking people in the World Government in One Piece. To the common folk, the Five Elders are the pinnacle of justice in the World Government, and this is because hardly anyone knows about the existence of Imu. In the Final Saga of One Piece, the Five Elders are more involved than ever before and finally, their powers have also been revealed to the fans.

All members of the Five Elders seem to possess powerful Yokai abilities that are similar to Devil Fruit powers. While these powers seem to be invincible, there are some Devil Fruits that can easily surpass them and, at the very least, match the powers of the Five Elders.

8 Magu Magu no Mi

• User: Sakazuki

Eaten by Sakazuki, the Magu Magu no Mi is one of the strongest Logia types of Devil Fruits to exist in One Piece. This Devil Fruit is believed to have the offensive power of the highest order, meaning that it belongs in the class of the strongest fruits to ever exist. This Devil Fruit is not as versatile as the Yokai forms that the Five Elders possess. For instance, Saturn has an incredibly versatile Yokai form with unique powers, and the Magu Magu no Mi simply doesn't have that going for itself. However, when it comes to offensive power, few work as well as this Devil Fruit does. As is evident from the name itself, this Devil Fruit lets Akainu create, turn into, as well as manipulate magma at will and deal lasting damage with it.

7 Ope Ope no Mi

• User: Trafalgar Law

The Ope Ope no Mi is known as the ultimate Devil Fruit for many reasons. This Devil Fruit allows the user to create giant ROOMs within which the target is simply like a patient on an operating table. Only doctors can bring out the best of this Devil Fruit, and that is why Law has studied medicine as well as he has.

This Devil Fruit has special powers as well. Not only is it extremely efficient in combat, as seen throughout Law's amazing fights, but at the same time, it also offers the ability to swap personalities, which would give the user control over another person's body, and it also offers the ability to grant someone eternal youth through the Perennial Youth Surgery.

6 Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu

• User: Kaido

The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu is an exceptionally overpowered Devil Fruit, and it is believed to be among the strongest to ever exist. Simply put, this Devil Fruit allows the user to turn themselves into a giant blue eastern serpentine dragon. This dragon has incredible powers, the greatest of which is the toughness that it offers.

At the same time, it also allows the user to control elements such as fire, lightning, and even wind. On top of that, this Devil Fruit grants a significant boost to all the physical attributes of the user, which makes it one of the most dangerous abilities to ever exist. This is a power worthy of rivaling the Five Elders.

5 Gura Gura no Mi

• User: Whitebeard (Former), Blackbeard (Current)

The Gura Gura no Mi is the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit to ever exist. This Devil Fruit was eaten by Whitebeard and, during the Paramount War, when he died, it was stolen by Blackbeard. This Devil Fruit allows the user to create quakes or even set off tsunamis. Its power is so great that it is believed to be strong enough to destroy the entire world if the user wishes it.

This is a Devil Fruit that is a worthy rival to the powers of the Five Elders. In fact, one shouldn't be surprised if this Devil Fruit ability surpasses the powers held by the Five Elders.

4 Yami Yami no Mi

• User: Blackbeard

Out of all the Devil Fruits, the most sinister to ever exist is the Yami Yami no Mi. This Devil Fruit is exceptionally powerful, and it belongs to the Logia class. Although it doesn't grant Blackbeard intangibility and forces him to take twice as much damage, what it offers in return is an incredibly dangerous power. With this Devil Fruit, Blackbeard can essentially control darkness and infinite gravity at will.

He can absorb and suck in everything with his black holes. At the same time, he can also nullify the Devil Fruit powers of other users, which makes it an incredibly dangerous power worthy of rivaling and even beating the Five Elders.

3 Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr

• User: Former Elbaf God of War, Loki

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, is one of the most powerful Devil Fruits to be introduced in One Piece in the Final Saga. This Devil Fruit is a legendary Mythical Zoan that has been passed down the royal line of Elbaf for centuries, and it was eventually eaten by Loki 14 years ago when King Harald went berserk.

This Devil Fruit allows Loki to transform into the largest black dragon in the world and gives him the ability to spit out lightning strong enough to destroy entire countries with ease. The power of this Devil Fruit is such that it can destroy the entire world, and the Five Elders, despite being strong, cannot match up to such firepower. Before Loki, this Devil Fruit was eaten by the God of War of Elbaf, who existed long ago and was stated to be a rival even to the Sun God Nika. The powers of this Devil Fruit are enhanced even further by Ratatoskr, the Ice Squirrel.

2 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika

• User: Joyboy (Former), Luffy (Current)

One of the most legendary Devil Fruits to ever exist, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is the bane of the existence of the World Government. This Devil Fruit was eaten by Joy Boy at some point in the series. Currently, this Devil Fruit is in Luffy's possession, making him the new Nika.

This Devil Fruit grants Luffy the ability to fight with immense freedom and spread laughter wherever he goes. It grants him a rubber body, which he can manipulate in different ways, limited only by his imagination. The true power of this Devil Fruit is only brought out after Awakening, and in this form, Luffy is second to none. It goes without saying that the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is a Devil Fruit that surpasses the Five Elders' Yokai.

1 Akuma no Mi

• User: Nerona Imu

By far, the strongest Devil Fruit to exist in One Piece belongs to Nerona Imu. In One Piece's Elbaf arc, Imu was revealed to hold the power of the Akuma no Mi. This Devil Fruit is the strongest to exist in One Piece, and it allows Imu to transform into a demon at will.

Imu's demon form grants him an ability known as God's Domination, which basically turns everyone around him into his slave by taking a portion of their lifespan and granting them superhuman strength, as well as immortality and regeneration in exchange. Furthermore, Imu can manipulate the power of Omen with the Akuma no Mi, and this is easily one of the mightiest abilities to exist in One Piece. Imu can also grant covenants to people to strengthen them, and the fact that the Five Elders derive all their powers from Nerona Imu tells us that this fruit is far superior to their forms.
