Summary
Putting aside the incredibly rare and unfairly overpowered Mythical Zoans, Logia Type Devil Fruits are the most powerful category of Devil Fruits in all ofOne Piece. Giving their users the ability to fully manipulate a certain natural element, these fruits have very few downsides and the characters who are shown to use them are often some of the most powerful ones in the entire series.
However, this doesn’t mean the users of these fruits are invincible. More than just controlling these elements, the users become the elements, so they’re mostly immune to all kinds of physical damage. But, their area of weakness is often the specific thing that the element itself is naturally weak against, so let’s break down the weakness ofevery Logia Type Devil Fruitever seen inOne Piece.
Flame-Flame Fruit
First Appearance
One Piece, Episode 91, “Farewell, Drum Island! I’m Going Out to Sea!”
Ability
Fire Manipulation
Ace made his debut quite early on in the story and showed the true strength of his Mera Mera no Mi Devil Fruit. This fruit gave him theability to manipulate and become fire, which made him an extremely powerful character who could burn down anything he touched, earning him the moniker’Fire Fist Ace’and gaining him a spot inthe legendary Whitebeard Pirates. The fruit waseaten by Saboupon resurrecting after Ace’s death.
Weakness
Like other Logia Types, the Mera Mera no Mi allowed Ace to become fire in a literal sense, which meant that no physical damage could harm him. However, magma burns far hotter than fire, because of which Akainu overpowered and burned through Ace’s fire resistance to strike his physical body, killing him. Ace was alsosusceptible to Fish-Man Karateor any other attack reinforced with water.
Sand-Sand Fruit
One Piece, Episode 76, “Critical Counterattack! Usopps Quick Wit and Kaenboshi!”
Sand Manipulation
The Suna Suna no Miallowed Crocodile to control sandas much as he desired. The reason he was so dangerous was due to hismastery of the fruit, as he could make structures with sand, reinforce his body with it, unleash destructive waves of sand, or even drain someone’s body of all its moisture.
The Suna Suna no Mi wasweak to water, as the properties of sand made it clump together when wet, allowing Crocodile’s enemies to have a much more solid target to hit. This was displayed when Luffy used all the extra water to eventually bring the villain down in Alabasta.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit
One Piece, Episode 167, “God Enel Appears! Aubade to the Survivors!”
Lightning Manipulation
The Goro Goro no Mi issaid to be the strongest Logia Type Devil Fruitof them all, and Enel’s mastery over it allowed him to create gigantic and powerful stormsthat ravaged all of Skypeia and let him create agiant form out of lightning. He could also turn himself into lightning, allowing him to be intangible and incredibly fast.
The Goro Goro no Mi has one of the most specific weaknesses of all Devil Fruits, which isrubber, due to its insulating properties that can halt the flow of electricity. It just so happened to be that Luffy showed up when Enel was enacting his grand plan, as nothing else could have ever stopped him.
Ice-Ice Fruit
One Piece, Episode 225, “The Man of Pride! Foxy the Silver Fox!”
Ice Manipulation
Kuzan’s Hie Hie no Mi gives him fullcontrol of ice, which he can manipulate to form powerful solid projectiles thatcan do a great deal of damageto anyone they hit. He can also reinforce his body into an ice form that acts as very tough armor to protect him from physical attacks.
Unlike other users of Logia Devil Fruits, the solid nature of ice doesn’t make Kuzan intangible when he transforms into his elemental form, making him fareasier to hitthan others, even though Haki is required. The natural weakness of ice is fire, which means that Ace’s Mera Mera no Mi and Akainu’s Magu Magu no Mi are strong against it.
Magma-Magma Fruit
One Piece, Episode 463, “Burn Everything to Ash! Admiral Akainu’s Power!”
Magma Manipulation
The Magu Magu no Mi is one of the strongest Logia Types, especially in terms of offensive output. Due toletting Akainu control and become magmaor molten rock, this Devil Fruit can generateenough heat to melt an entire icebergwithin a few seconds. It can burn any weapon or person it comes into contact with, even swallowing up the flames made from the Mera Mera no Mi.
This is an especially powerful Devil Fruit since it gives Akainu full control over magma. As such, it doesn’t have the same sort of natural weaknesses as other Logia types, there are just a few things here and there that thefruit cannot harm, such asShank’s Saber and Whitebeard’s Bisento.
Smoke-Smoke Fruit
One Piece, Episode 48, “The Town of the Beginning and the End - Arrival at Loguetown”
Smoke Manipulation
Introduced asone of the very first Logia Type Devil Fruitsin the entire series, it gave Captain Smoker incredible powers. Smoker has the power tocreate endless smoke cloudsand can turn his body into smoke as well, making him intangible and impervious to most attacks.
Just like Akainu’s fruit, there seems to be no specific natural weakness of this Devil Fruit, and the only way to properly work against it is through the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses that affect all of these objects, such asHaki. However, it was shown thatsmoke and fire cancel each otherout in Smoker’s short battle against Ace.
Snow-Snow Fruit
One Piece, Episode 607, “Heated Fierce Battle - Luffy vs. Caesar”
Snow Manipulation
The Yuki Yuki no Mi has abilities quite similar toKuzan’s Hie Hie no Mi, in that it allows Monet to turn her body into, and fullymanipulate,snow. She isimpervious to coldand can make powerful constructs from her element, though this fruit is outright inferior to the Hie Hie no Mi.
Instead of just having an outright natural weakness in the form of another element, this Devil Fruit issusceptible to all forms of heat, so Ace’s fire and Akainu’s magma are the natural counters to Monet. Aside from the standard weaknesses for all Devil Fruits, Monet can also be mentally unstable at times, which affects her powers considerably.
Dark-Dark Fruit
One Piece, Episode 325, “The Most Evil Ability! Blackbeard’s Darkness Attacks Ace!”
Darkness/Gravity Manipulation
The Yami Yami no Mi is easily one of the most powerful Devil Fruits inOne Piece. This is because it not only givesBlackbeard full control over gravity, essentially making him a walking Black Hole, but it also allows him to absorb andnullify the effects of any other Devil Fruit!
To make this fruit even more terrifying, it doesn’t have a traditional, natural weakness. However, this fruitdoesn’t allow the user to transforminto an intangible elemental state like other Logias do. Instead, he has to actively turn on the ability to absorb attacks, and if he doesn’t, he gets damaged as any regular human would. All standard Devil Fruit weaknesses do apply to this fruit though.
Glint-Glint Fruit
One Piece, Episode 400, “Roger and Rayleigh - The Pirate King and His Right Hand”
Light Manipulation
As one of the strongest Logia Fruits of them all,Kizaru’s Pika Pika no Mi allows him to transform into lightand also shoot outsearing and powerful beams of light. Not only this, the Pika Pika no Mi also lets Kizaru make constructs out of his element and even travel at the speed of light.
As its name suggests, this fruit is susceptible especially toBlackbeard’s darkness powerson top of all the standard weaknesses attributed to all Devil Fruits. Moreover, Kizaru’s attacks can be undone by astrong enough defenseand can only travel in straight lines.
Soot-Soot Fruit
One Piece, Episode 510, “Sanji’s Suffering - The Queen Returns to His Kingdom”
Soot Manipulation
The Susu Susu no Miallows Karasu to turn into and fully manipulate soot, which works very similarly to ash. By controlling all of the soot’s fine particles, he canuse this elementquite like how Crocodile can use sand by making constructs and attacks out of it.
No natural weakness has yet been attributed to this Devil Fruit, though it can beparticularly weak to water, just like Crocodile’s Suna Suna no Mi, as it can dissolve soot. The standard Devil Fruit weaknesses apply to it, especiallyBusoshoku Haki.
Swamp-Swamp Fruit
One Piece, Episode 521, “The Battle Begins! SHhow the Training Results!”
Mud Manipulation
Caribou’s Numa Numa no Mi gives him thepower to turn into and manipulate mud, which gives him a surprisingly varied move set. Using his powers,Caribou can create massive swampsthat can drown people and canstore many weapons and provisionswithin himself.
Mud is typicallysusceptible to water, and though this fruit hasn’t been shown to have any specific natural weakness in the series, it was noted that once the user isconfined to a space smaller than their frame, they will stay in a mud state. This was seen when Franky kept Caribou in a barrel, where he was in his mud form and couldn’t change back.
Gas-Gas Fruit
One Piece, Episode 581, “The Crew is Confused! The Shocking Beheaded Samurai Appears!”
Gas Manipulation
The Gasu Gasu no Mi is pretty muchan amped-up version of Smoker’s Moku Moku no Mi. Caesar Clown was able tocompletely transform into a gaseous statethat could be compressed into something as tiny as a flask, and the gas he produces is highly poisonous. He can even get rid of oxygen from the atmosphere.
The Gasu Gasu no Mi appears to beweak against fire, as the gas it produces can be very easily set alight to create an explosion. This makes Ace and Akainu the natural counters to Caesar Clown’s otherwise incredibly powerful Devil Fruit.
Woods-Woods Fruit
One Piece, Episode 1079, “The Morning Comes! Luffy and the Others Rest”
Nature Manipulation
The Mori Mori no Mi allows Aramaki tocreate, manipulate, and control plant lifeto a high degree. By creating nature,Aramaki can grow plants and treesrapidly and can even absorb any liquid they touch. Much like Kuzan’s Hie Hie no Mi, this fruit also turns the user’s elemental form into a solid one.
The obvious weakness of this fruit is, once again,fire, which can be used to burn down or incinerate any sort of plant life. Although this can be mitigated to an extent by training their wooden form, the natural weakness to fire is always there, on top of all the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
