When it comes to extraordinary powers in One Piece, fans often think of Luffy. This is somewhat ironic because his Devil Fruit was once considered fairly useless. Although it eventually made him strong, it took Luffy about 10 years of training before he was skilled enough to leave the East Blue. Moreover, Luffy’s Devil Fruit power largely depends on his imagination. The more he imagines, the stronger he becomes, as seen with Gear 2, Gear 3, and Gear 4.
The true power of this Devil Fruit was only revealed during the Wano arc, when Luffy finally succeeded in awakening it after countless efforts and a near-death experience. After awakening, the full strength of the Nika fruit was shown when Luffy transformed into the Sun God. This made Luffy the wielder of one of the most unusual powers ever seen.
However, he is still not the one with the most destructive power in the world.
Gura Gura no Mi Holds the Most Destructive Power
When discussing the most devastating power in the One Piece world, the Gura Gura no Mi tops all Devil Fruits. A Paramecia-type fruit, it allows the user to create shockwaves through the air and transmit them through any medium, causing earthquakes or tsunamis. This Devil Fruit can easily sink islands and wipe out entire nations in the blink of an eye.
Sengoku once commented on this power: “That man has the power to destroy the world.”
Even when limited, the Gura Gura no Mi can obliterate an entire island, and when fully unleashed, it can cause even more catastrophic consequences. Whitebeard wielded this Devil Fruit for many years after consuming it roughly 42 to 56 years ago. Recently, during the Marineford war, Blackbeard stole it and is now using its power.
This Devil Fruit Rivals Ancient Weapons
Among all the Devil Fruits in One Piece, only one has power comparable to the Ancient Weapons. That is the Gura Gura no Mi, capable of destroying the world and easily sinking entire nations.
