One Piece: Every Devil Fruit That Can Rival The Five Elders, Ranked

Let’s be completely honest: the powerscaling in One Piece is getting more and more broken as we approach the end of the story. Devil Fruits, in particular, have been a massive part of the power structure of the series, and even they have evolved; no, we’re not talking about Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation here.

What we are talking about are the unnamed Devil Fruits of the Five Elders, also known as the Gorosei – five DFs with almost ancient and mythical Yokai powers and transformations featured first during the Egghead Island Arc. If we really think about it, the One Piece series might also have a few Devil Fruits that rival the power of the Gorosei. So without further ado, let’s check them out.

TITLE	One Piece
CREATORS	Eiichiro Oda
RELEASE DATE	October 20, 1999
IMDb RATINGS (as of July 20, 2026)	9/10
WHERE TO WATCH	Crunchyroll

10 Kuma’s Paw Fruit Can Repel Anything, Even Pain And Fatigue

Nikyu Nikyu no Mi looks simple on paper, a cat paw that pushes things away, until you realize Bartholomew Kuma used it to launch entire people across oceans in a single tap. He can repel pain, exhaustion, even memories, which is a genuinely unsettling toolkit for a government weapon to carry.

What it lacks in flashy transformation it makes up for in pure utility, since repelling the right thing at the right moment can end a fight before it starts. It’s quiet power, but it’s real power. It rounds out the list at tenth because its ceiling is more about precision and utility than the outright scale the top nine bring to the table.

9 Katakuri’s Mochi Powers Blur The Line Between Fruit Tiers Fast

Charlotte Katakuri doesn’t get a mythical label, but Mochi Mochi no Mi behaves like one anyway, letting him turn intangible, launch projectiles, and cover ground faster than logic should allow. Stack that with his Observation Haki, sharp enough to glimpse seconds into the future, and he becomes nearly impossible to land a clean hit on.

He held his own against Luffy’s early Gear 4 for a stretch most fighters wouldn’t survive. A fruit this slippery, on a body this durable, earns its spot near legends. Ninth on the list since he’s a special-grade Paramecia flirting with mythical territory, just a notch below fruits with proven world-scale results.

8 Sengoku’s Buddha Form Blasted Blackbeard’s Whole Crew Away

Long before Luffy ever glowed gold, Sengoku showed the fleet what a fruit modeled after enlightenment could really do. Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu let him grow into a towering golden Buddha, and right after Whitebeard’s death, he used it to fire a shockwave that sent the entire Blackbeard Pirates crew flying at Marineford in one motion.

That’s not a small gang either; that’s some of the most dangerous criminals alive getting swatted like flies by a single palm thrust. Eighth because it’s proven against an entire crew of monsters at once, even without the reality-warping tricks the fruits above it carry.

7 Law’s Room Ability Quietly Rewrites The Rules Of Life And Death

The world already nicknamed the reality-bending Ope Ope no Mi the ultimate Devil Fruit long before Law got his hands on it, and that’s not a title handed out for style points. Inside his Room, Law can swap organs, erase injuries, and even perform a surgery granting someone eternal youth, though it costs the surgeon their own life. It’s less a combat fruit and more a fruit that edits reality’s fine print.

Against enemies who bend physics, having one that just deletes the damage is its own kind of terrifying. The seventh spot reflects its surgical brilliance over raw destruction, useful against gods but not built to trade blows with them directly.

6 Akainu’s Magma Fruit Makes Him The World’s Deadliest Admiral

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki didn’t earn that seat by being polite; he earned it by melting his own colleague’s ice in single combat and never looking back. Magu Magu no Mi burns hotter than ordinary fire, which is why it beats Logia flame users outright instead of just trading hits with them.

He’s the kind of commander who’d burn through an island to end one man’s ambition, and the Marines let him lead because that ruthlessness gets results. That’s a scary trait to hand a government’s top enforcer. He lands at sixth since his fruit’s edge is mostly about beating other Logias, a narrower kind of dominance than what’s ranked above him.

5 Kaido’s Dragon Form Earned Him The Strongest Creature Title

Say what you want about how his story wrapped up, Kaido‘s fruit is still one of the most physically overwhelming things Oda has ever put on a page. Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu turns him into a full azure dragon capable of firing compressed blasts of air and breathing weather-altering flame breath.

He shrugged off cannon fire and hundred-year storms without flinching for two decades straight. A body that durable paired with that much raw firepower belongs in any conversation about the top of the food chain. Fifth because his durability and brute force are elite, even if his fruit lacks the reality-bending tricks sitting above him on this list.

4 Big Mom’s Soul Power Lets Her Steal Life Like It’s Currency

Soru Soru no Mi doesn’t hit like a fist; it reaches into the fabric of a person and takes what makes them alive. Charlotte Linlin, aka Big Mom, has spent centuries yanking lifespans from strangers just to keep her own hunger and age in check, and she builds an army out of the souls she’s collected.

Homies made from furniture and clouds fight for her because she gave them a piece of someone else’s life. Something that can weaponize mortality itself isn’t a fruit you shrug off. Fourth place fits because her power threatens the very thing that keeps the Elders around for centuries, their unnaturally long lives.

3 Gura Gura’s Quakes Alone Could Crack The Entire World In Half

Even without the darkness fruit riding shotgun, Gura Gura no Mi earns its reputation as the strongest known Paramecia in the series. Whitebeard used it to literally crack the air like glass over Marineford to generate devastating quakes, tilting the surrounding ocean just by swinging a fist. And that’s an old man doing it, not someone in their prime.

Vibrations from this fruit don’t stop at flesh; they travel through air, water, and stone like none of it is solid. That kind of raw destructive ceiling puts it in rare company. It sits just under the double-fruit combo because alone it’s still a world-ending weapon, only missing the extra layer Blackbeard now stacks onto it.

2 Blackbeard’s Stolen Double Fruits Make Him a One-Man Apocalypse

Nobody else on the Grand Line gets to break the golden rule of one Devil Fruit per body, and that alone should terrify the Elders. Teach carries Yami Yami no Mi‘s darkness, which swallows other fruit powers whole, stacked on Gura Gura no Mi, a quake fruit strong enough to crack the sky.

Put those together, and you get a man who can no-sell an opponent’s ability and then flatten the battlefield they were standing on. It’s an unfair combination by design. Ranked second since raw unfairness like this, two top-tier fruits in one body, is exactly the kind of edge that closes gaps against gods.

1 Nika’s Awakening Gave Luffy A Power That Could Rattle A God

Gear 5 didn’t just make Luffy stronger; it made him a myth walking around in sandals. When he actually traded blows with Saturn on Egghead Island, it wasn’t a beatdown; it was two forces of nature bouncing off each other.

Nika bends reality itself, turning steel to rubber and gunfire into cartoon nonsense, and it comes wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki so heavy it cracked through the Elder’s guard. That’s not hype; that’s a live fight scene Oda actually drew. It tops the list because it’s the only fruit that’s already tagged one of the Five in open combat and walked away smiling.
