Devil fruit is a mysterious fruit that gives the eater special powers. For example, devil fruit users are able to control or manipulate certain substances, such as poison or fire.
In general, devil fruit are categorized into three types, namely Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. However, there are several sub-categories that have certain characteristics. For more details, check the discussion about the types of Devil Fruits in this article!
1. Paramecia
The first and most frequently appearing type is Paramecia. This devil fruit allows the user to access super powers, such as changing body shape, producing certain substances or substances, and certain very unique abilities.
As an example, we can see Buggy's Bara Bara no Mi devil fruit which allows him to separate parts of his body into several parts. Another example is Kid's Jiki Jiki no Mi which allows him to control magnets.
2. Zoan
Unlike Paramecia, Zoan devil fruit is easier to identify. It allows the user to transform into certain animals. One of the advantage of the Zoan devil fruit is the increase in the user's physical strength.
Zoan users also have three forms of change, namely Human Form, Beast Form, and Human-Beast/Hybrid Form. Besides that, Zoan devil fruit has several sub-categories, such as Ancient Zoan, Mythical Zoan, and Artificial Zoan.
3. Logia
Logia is considered the most powerful and rare type of devil fruit compared to Zoan and Paramecia. Logia Devil Fruits allow the user to control and unite with natural elements, such as fire, smoke, ice, light, magma.
Logia users can only be hurt by Haki-based attacks or weapons made from sea stone. One example of the strongest Logia user is Akainu who ate the Magu Magu no Mi which turned him into a magma human.
4. Special Paramecia
Special Paramecia is a very unique and rare case. Even though the explanation and limitations regarding this devil fruit are quite minimal, this devil fruit has characteristics that are similar to Logia.
So far, there is only one devil fruit that belongs to this category, namely Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi. This devil fruit allows Katakuri to control and manipulate very sticky mochi.
5. Ancient Zoan
As previously mentioned, Ancient Zoan is a sub-category of the Zoan devil fruit. This type allows the user to transform into ancient animals, such as dinosaurs, ptenarodons, and mammoth elephants.
Users of this devil fruit usually have a very strong defense and are hard to beat. An example is Queen who ate Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus. He has a very hard dinosaur body.
6. Mythical Zoan
Unlike the Ancient Zoan, Mythical Zoan allows the user to transform into a mythological animal or creature. Not only that, Mythical Zoan users can also access the special abilities of these mythological creatures.
For example, we can see Marco's power eating the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix. As well as transforming into a phoenix, she is able to control blue flames which have healing properties. He can regenerate his wounds during battle.
7. Artificial Zoan
As the name implies, Artificial Zoan is a devil fruit created by human modification. There are two genius scientists who are able to create this artificial devil fruit, namely Dr. Vegapunk and Caesar Clown.
Because this devil fruit is artificial, this devil fruit's transformation form is not perfect. For example, we can see Kaido's subordinates eating SMILE. Even though their forms were irregular, they still gained strength to be reckoned with.
