In the world of One Piece, Devil Fruits grant unique powers at the cost of the ability to swim. Beyond the destructive Logia types and the physically enhanced Zoan users, there is a special group of abilities that allow their wielders to create armies for battle. With an army at their command, these users gain an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Let’s take a look at the 8 most formidable Devil Fruits in this category!
8. Horo Horo no Mi
Owned by the “Ghost Princess” Perona, this Devil Fruit lets her create Hollow spirits, pale ghostly figures with deep black eyes. While not focused on physical damage, Perona’s ghost army is terrifying on a psychological level. A single ghost passing through an opponent plunges them into utter despair, sometimes even pushing them to the brink of giving up on life.
7. Hobi Hobi no Mi
This is the ultimate “game hack” ability of Sugar from the Donquixote family. With just a touch, Sugar can turn humans or animals into toys and erase all memories of them from everyone who knew them. The toy army must obey every command under a forced contract. A chilling bonus is that the user remains forever young.
6. Kage Kage no Mi
Former Shichibukai Gecko Moria used this power to dominate Thriller Bark. He can steal shadows from others and insert them into corpses to create an immortal zombie army. As long as Moria supplies enough shadows and bodies, his undead forces never stop growing, making him a fearsome power on the seas.
5. Bisu Bisu no Mi
Charlotte Cracker transformed ordinary biscuits into a legion of incredibly tough “Biscuit Soldiers.” These puppets have astonishing physical durability, enough to challenge Luffy even in Gear 4. In fact, Cracker’s bounty poster face is just one of his biscuit warriors.
4. Gunyo Gunyo no Mi
Recently introduced through Prince Grus of the SWORD unit, this Devil Fruit allows the creation of golems from clay. These creatures have their own will, can change shape, and are extremely durable thanks to their ability to regenerate continuously. Grus often appears alongside three giant golems, forming an impenetrable steel shield.
3. Kibi Kibi no Mi
Young Tama possesses the power to create kibidango dumplings from her cheeks. Any wild beast (including artificial Zoan SMILE users) that eats these dumplings becomes completely loyal and obedient to Tama’s commands. In Wano, this ability helped the allied forces gain a large army of switched sides.
2. Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin
For Killingham of Elbaph, this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit grants a bizarre ability: to lull enemies to sleep and pull creatures from the dream world into reality. The result is an army of “Nightmare Monsters.” Even the giant warriors of Elbaph struggle against this unreal assault.
1. Soru Soru no Mi
Leading the list is the power of Yonko Big Mom. She can steal others’ lifespans and infuse souls into inanimate objects, creating “Homies.” From small items to powerful entities like Napoleon (her sword), Prometheus (fire), and Zeus (thundercloud), Big Mom commands an empire where everything obeys her orders and fights on her behalf.
