The 10 Strongest One-Shot Devil Fruit Abilities in One Piece, Ranked

Breaking the powerscaling ladder and introducing overpowered Devil Fruit abilities isn’t something new for Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece series. Throughout the decades of narrative, Oda wrote down some of the most broken DF abilities that can literally one-shot opponents, although a few requirements need to be met first.

Enough with the chit chat, and let’s jump right into it. Here are some of the most powerful Devil Fruit abilities that can one-shot opponents into oblivion – ranked by how absurdly powerful and broken they gradually get.

10 Sugar’s Toy Transformation Using the Hobi Hobi no Mi

Coming in at number 10 from the Donquixote Pirates, Sugar has one of the most intriguing and broken Devil Fruit abilities. Her Hobi Hobi no Mi (Hobby-Hobby Fruit) grants her the power to transform living people into toys and erase others’ memories of their existence.

What makes it so powerful is that the series shows no durability or resistance to this power, so basically, anyone Sugar touches can be turned into a toy. Why is it a one-shot move? Well, once turned into a toy, it’s basically game over for that person. No memory, no one to recognize them anymore – an eternal slave until Suga decides otherwise.

9 Luffy’s Monkey God Gun Powered by His Gomu Gomu no Mi

The main protagonist of the One Piece series, Monkey D. Luffy, is well-reputed for throwing punches at his opponents, and his one punch from the Wano Country Arc might be enough to destroy literal islands, let alone one-shot enemies. The Rubber Rubber Monkey God Gun (popularly known as the Bajrang Gun) is one of the most devastating and destructive punches in Luffy’s arsenal once he reaches Gear 5.

As seen in the anime, the size of his fist was twice the size of the Onigashima island, and he could easily have blown through it. What makes the attack scarier is the fact that it is laced with awakened Armament Haki and coated with Conqueror’s Haki – it’s also contactless. The Haki emission and the pressure from the fist are enough to overwhelm powerful opponents like Kaido.

8 Enel’s El Thor Powered by His Goro Goro no Mi

Enel has arguably one of the most powerful and versatile Logia-type Devil Fruits in the series, the Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit). If we are discussing DF abilities that can one-shot enemies, it’s hard to ignore El Thor. Enel sends out lightning to gather in a cluster above his target, then makes it crash down as a massive column via a swipe of his arm.

The way the ability works, it’s understandable that the nickname “Heaven’s Judgement” is well earned. Anyone struck by El Thor is very much fried and defeated by the overwhelming surge of lightning on the spot. What makes it move scary is the AOE aspect; El Thor isn’t just a single-target attack, it’s an area-of-impact attack.

7 Akainu’s Great Eruption Powered by the Magu Magu no Mi

When it comes to the Marine Admirals, the current Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, formerly known as Akainu, is one of the most iconic and powerful names in the series – partially thanks to the overwhelming powers of his Logia-type Magu Magu no Mi (Mag-Mag Fruit). As the name suggests, the Devil Fruit offers him a plethora of magma and lava-themed attacks and abilities.

However, none of his attacks is more iconic and feared than the Great Eruption, known as Dai Funka in Japanese. His signature attack allows him to turn his fist into lava and punch through almost anything. Even top-tier fighters have a hard time escaping the attack, as we saw with it taking down another Logia-type DF user, Portgas D. Ace.

6 Aokiji’s Ice Age Powered by the Hie Hie no Mi Devil Fruit

Since we’re already talking about the Marine Admirals, let’s take a gander at one of the former members, Aokiji. Powered by the Hie Hie no Mi (Ice-Ice Fruit), Aokiji’s Ice Age is literally a piece of history – as the name suggests, he can turn anything over a wide area into ice and freeze anyone within the range of impact, with a single touch.

Why is it categorized as one-shot? Once an enemy is frozen, they are not just physically frozen in place; their blood and every other functioning organ are frozen as well. With everything movement and function seized to arrest, Aokiji can take all the time in the world to methodically end that person.

5 Trafalgar D. Law’s ROOM + Amputate Combo from the Ope Ope no Mi

It’s no secret that Trafalgar D. Law has one of the most broken attack combinations among Devil Fruit abilities, all thanks to his Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit). But there are also some requirements needed to access one of his most basic yet one-shot moves in the One Piece series.

Firstly, he needs to activate ROOM, a large sphere around him that essentially works as the extent to which he can use all his other abilities. Once the ROOM is all set up, his “Amputate” does the rest of the work. Law can slice through anyone and anything without actually killing them. While the move doesn’t kill, the limbless foes might as well be dead without any voluntary functioning.

4 Big Mom’s Soul Pocus Powered by the Soru Soru no Mi

What’s the best way to one-shot an enemy? We think stealing their soul is sufficient. That is exactly what the former Emperor of the Sea, Big Mom, does with her Soul Pocus ability granted from the Soru Soru no Mi (Soul-Soul Fruit). Big Mom basically bargains with a person’s soul depending on the situation.

If the person shows fear for even a second, Big Mom gains access to their lifespan and soul – free for her to take. However, this technique, no matter how broken it is, has limitations. If the person (for example, Jinbe in the series) is fearless when they choose to have their lifespan taken, the ability completely fails, and their lifespan cannot be taken.

3 Kaido’s Bolo Breath Powered by the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

As far as the former Emperors of the Sea go, Kaido was one of the strongest and most feared Emperors, especially among the people of Wano Country. Thanks to the powers of his Devil Fruit, the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu (Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon), Kaido was a literal dragon who oppressed the Wano citizens for years with an overwhelming display of power, including his Bolo Breath attack.

Kaido’s signature attack lets him shoot a scorching beam of fire from his mouth that hits almost instantly and can decimate entire armies to ashes. What makes this one-shot ability scarier is that Kaido can also diffuse the attack into smaller shots to attack multiple targets in quick succession.

2 Whitebeard’s Shattering Void Powered by the Gura Gura no Mi

Edward Newgate, known as Whitebeard, is and will remain one of the most feared names among pirates and the Emperors who sailed the seas. Thanks to the powers of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Gura Gura no Mi (Quake-Quake Fruit), Whitebeard literally shattered the air and the sea with devastating and one-shotting tremors.

While every single attack of his is a powerful one-shot killing ability in itself, the Shattering Void is the one that put him on the map during the God Valley Incident. It was only after Whitebeard’s death that Kaido and Big Mom made their moves – showing just how powerful and feared he was.

1 Blackbeard’s Black Hole Powered by His Yami Yami no Mi

Marshall D. Teach, popularly known as Blackbeard, is one of the toughest and strongest villains in the current One Piece timeline, mainly thanks to his broken Devil Fruit, the Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit). Moreover, his Black Hole attack is one of the most broken DF abilities, a guaranteed one-shot hax every time he uses it.

Using the Black Hole, Blackbeard spreads his darkness over a large area, swallowing up anything he chooses. One swallowed, a massive surge of gravitational pressure crushes the person or object. In the anime, he showed off this overwhelming power by swallowing an entire village on Banaro Island.
