One Piece: Ranking the Top 5 Most Powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits

The latest alleged One Piece spoilers and raw scans have revealed an interesting and seemingly contradictory claim made by author and illustrator Eiichiro Oda. Prior to these leaks, the series consistently portrayed Logia Devil Fruits as the strongest in the entire series.

However, fans are now being told that the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits are actually the most powerful, surpassing even the Logia-types. This revelation has sparked curiosity among fans about how the few Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits showcased in the series compare to each other. Fortunately, there is a clear ranking of the top five among the seven Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits that have been used in combat so far.

One Piece’s Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits are all incredibly powerful, but there is a clear winner amongst them

Despite Kurozumi Orochi's subpar utilization of the Mythical Snake-Snake Fruit in One Piece, it surpasses other Mythical Zoan types in terms of potential. The Fruit's biggest attribute is its remarkable resilience, even when in human form. As demonstrated by Orochi, one can withstand being decapitated seven times as a human before succumbing to the eighth and final attack.

4) Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix

The Fruit demonstrates remarkable strength as Orochi effortlessly obliterates a room in his transformed form and throws a fit. Additionally, the formidable power of the eight snakeheads' jaws in their transformed state indicates that the Fruit can genuinely hold its own in combat. Although Orochi clearly misused it, all evidence points to the Fruit possessing immense potential, making it deserving of a spot in the top five.

The Mythical Bird-Bird Fruit possessed by Marco is undeniably a valuable asset in the world of One Piece. It stands out as one of the most adaptable and versatile Devil Fruits in the entire series. With this remarkable power, Marco effortlessly assumes either a supportive or offensive role during battles and effortlessly transports fellow warriors to specific destinations. Additionally, the Fruit empowers its user to fully regenerate by undergoing a transformative state, although there are limitations to its frequency of use.

This healing process can also be selective, with Marco being able to heal fatal injuries while leaving less impactful ones. The effectiveness of the Fruit's various techniques depends on the user's stamina, but an Awakened form would significantly reduce, if not completely eliminate, this concern. When taking into account its overall effectiveness, especially in combat, the Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix, deserves such a ranking.

3) Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi-no-Makami

In the One Piece anime, Yamato's Devil Fruit transformation is truly remarkable. It is no surprise that Yamato's Mythical Dog-Dog Fruit ranks highly among the most powerful Mythical Zoan Fruits. Not only does Yamato possess incredible skill and strength, but the Fruit itself has the ability to match and even surpass the formidable power of Kaido and his Fish-Fish Fruit. This accomplishment alone sets it apart as one of the top Mythical Zoan-types seen in the series thus far.

The Fruit further enhances predatory and combative instincts in addition to equipping the user with formidable claws and fangs, ideal for engaging in combat. Moreover, it confers a significant power surge akin to Kaido's human-dragon transformation, as previously mentioned. Additionally, the Fruit grants the ability to generate ice, which serves both offensive and defensive purposes. While it may not possess the same level of adaptability as other abilities, the Fruit's sheer combat prowess justifies its elevated ranking.

2) Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon

Undoubtedly, Kaido’s Mythical Fish-Fish Fruit stands out as one of the most formidable Mythical Zoan-types introduced in One Piece to date. Its sheer strength and power unequivocally establish its formidable nature, particularly when fully transformed into its draconic state. A mere exhalation from Kaido can generate gusts of wind capable of rattling or even decimating structures. Merely brushing against an object while in this form, whether while moving or attacking with purpose, can result in its destruction.

This level of power and strength applies to both the Human and Hybrid forms as well. Both forms possess the ability to harness the powers of wind, fire, and lightning, just like the draconic form. The Fruit truly transforms its user into a force of nature, even with minimal training or experience, as demonstrated by Momonosuke's use of a replica Fruit after he fully matured with the help of Shinobu.

Moreover, the Fruit enables the users to utilize Flame Clouds, which enhances their ability to move through the air and transport objects and individuals. This versatility and impact of the Fruit are evident even when the user is in their fully human form.

1) Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika

Despite the impressiveness of Kaido's Fruit, it is Monkey D. Luffy's Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, that undoubtedly claims the top spot among One Piece's Mythical Zoan-type Fruits. This Fruit grants its users the ability to fight in any desired manner, blending characteristics of both a Zoan-type and a Paramecia-type Awakening. Notably, this power extends beyond the realm of inanimate objects and allows users to influence living beings as well.

Furthermore, this Fruit empowers the user to alter their physical attributes instantly, without the need for any prior preparation or tricks. It also greatly enhances the user's stamina and endurance, enabling them to seemingly reactivate the Fruit at will, resulting in successive bursts of energy and combat prowess. While the long-term consequences of such usage are severe, this technique can prove decisive in a moment, determining the outcome between victory and defeat.

The Fruit's immense power is evidenced by the fear it instills in even the Gorosei, who are gradually revealed to be formidable fighters themselves. They consider it the most absurd power in the world and went to great lengths to conceal its true identity by renaming it. Given these factors, it is evident that the Model: Nika Fruit is the most dominant Mythical-Zoan in the series thus far, and perhaps indefinitely.
