SMILE is an artificial Zoan devil fruit that allows the user to transform into an animal. Even though a SMILE user's transformation form isn't perfect, they gain a very significant boost in power.
SMILE devil fruit users are dominated by high-ranking members of the Beast pirates, such as Gifters and Headliners/Shinuchi. They are very tough fighters and not easy to deal with.
In this article, we would like to review the list of the strongest SMILE devil fruit users in One Piece. Who are they? Check the complete information below!
10. Solitaire
For starters, there is a Shinuchi named Solitaire who is assigned to watch over prisoners in Udon prison. She is a Monkey SMILE devil fruit user. She looks to have extra hands along with a monkey tail.
Solitaire seems to have pretty great sword skills. She wields four swords at once. Even though her fighting abilities are not fully shown, she deserves to be called one of the strongest SMILE users.
9. Speed
Speed is one of the Shinuchi Beast pirates assigned to the Bakura region. After eating a Horse SMILE, her lower body turns into a horse's body. It made her look like a centaur.
In terms of strength, Speed is very good at using arrows. She is also capable of using Haki to strengthen her arrow attacks. In addition, she is able to run at high speed like a horse.
8. Madilloman
Despite his mere status as a Gifter, Madilloman displayed great fighting skills. As his name implies, he ate the SMILE Armadillo devil fruit. Thanks to that devil fruit, he has a very hard shell on his back.
Madilloman once fought in Udon prison against Luffy and Grandfather Hyo. He is quite difficult to deal with because his shell defense is very tough. In addition, he also armed himself with two flintlocks filled with sea stone bullets.
7. Sheephead
Sheepshead is one of the strongest SMILE users. He first appeared when he fought Brook and Sanji on Zou Island. Its appearance is quite interesting.
As a Sheep SMILE eater, Sheepshead is able to grow sheep's horns on both of his hands as weapons. According to Brook, Sheepshead has brutal strength. Despite this, he was easily defeated by Sanji.
6. Briscola
Briscola is one of the most attention-grabbing Shinuchi in Onigashima. He has gorilla hands after he ate the SMILE Gorilla devil fruit. In addition, he had experienced Jinbe's Samegawara Seiken.
Briscola's gorilla has a fairly great strength. One punch of the hand is capable of cracking the ground. In addition, the gorilla is capable of throwing consecutive punches at its enemies.
5. Daifugo
The next strongest SMILE user is Daifugo, deputy chief warden at Udon prison. He has a rude and arrogant nature. Also, he ate the Scorpion SMILE devil fruit which gave him legs as well as a tail and a scorpion sting.
Apart from using the SMILE devil fruit, Daifugo also armed himself with various weapons, such as swords, rifles, and flintlock pistols. He once used Queen's virus to attack prisoners in Udon.
4. Holdem
Holdem was one of the first Shinuchi that Luffy faced. He has high authority in the Bakura region. After eating the Lion SMILE, he has a lion's head on his waist named Kamijiro.
Although hard to tame, Kamijiro has a special ability to shoot fire breath. Holdem used to combine Kamijiro's fire with his sword skills. He holds a unique sword called Karakuri Sword which functions like a whip.
3. Dobon
Next, there is a Hippo SMILE eating Shinuchi named Dobon. After eating the devil fruit, he has a hippo body that is quite large. He can use this devil fruit power to pounce on his prey.
For example, Dobon ate Luffy and Kid without fear. Of course, his strength was incomparable to the two of them. Even though he was defeated by both of them, Dobon's abilities were noticeably superior to the other SMILE eaters.
2. Babanuki
In second place, there is an Elephant SMILE eater named Babanuki. He is Shinuchi who served as chief warden at Udon prison. In addition, he has a large body and a very strong physique.
Through the elephant head on his body, Babanuki can fire an attack capable of producing a massive explosion. His strength proved to be able to make things difficult for Luffy even though at that time Luffy was able to use Haki.
1. Momonosuke
There's probably no doubt that Momonosuke is the strongest artificial zoan user in the story. Unlike other SMILE users, Momonosuke's transformation is practically perfect because he can transform into a dragon.
Additionally, Dragon SMILE that Momonosuke ate was made by Dr. Vegapunk which was created based on the DNA of Kaido. The funny thing is, he considers the devil fruit a failure because Momonosuke's dragon is pink.
Even so, Momonosuke's strength looks quite scary when he turns into a dragon, especially now that Momo has grown into a grown man. He is able to issue Kaido's signature attack, namely Bolo Breath.
