One Piece: Every Character That Luffy Couldn’t Beat On His Own, Ranked

Monkey D. Luffy is an exceptional fighter, but there are certain One Piece characters that he couldn’t beat by himself.

At the beginning of the series, devil fruits were considered rare, with only a handful of people possessing the mysterious fruits. However, as the series progressed, devil fruits became more and more common. Zoan type devil fruits are one of the three types of devil fruits; what’s more, these are further subdivided into other groups, with Mythical Zoans being the rarest. So far, only seven Mythical Zoans have been revealed — here’s what viewers know about them.


Updated March 17, 2024, by Suzail Ahmad: As the story of One Piece draws nearer to its conclusion, it looks quite clear that more Mythical Zoan-type devil fruits will be revealed. As previously stated, all Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits are extremely special. The users of these devil fruits have a distinct advantage over their opponents. In the Egghead arc, fans saw how far Luffy’s devil fruit allowed him to take on a Navy Admiral and one of the Five Elders. It is safe to say that in the upcoming arcs, fans will get the opportunity to see even more Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits in action. For now, the list has been updated with more information about the currently known Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits in the series.


9 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika

Based On The Sun God

Gear 5th Luffy Nika

  • Current User: Monkey D. Luffy
  • Debut: Chapter 1, Episode 4


The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, belongs to Monkey D. Luffy. It is one of the most overpowered devil fruits in the series. In an attempt to hide the power of the devil fruit, the World Government changed its name to Gomu Gomu no Mi. According to the Five Elders, they had been trying to get their hands on the devil fruit for ages, but it always seemed to evade them. When they finally got their hands on the devil fruit, it was stolen by Shanks from the ship carrying it.

The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika allows Luffy to transform his body into rubber. Initially, Luffy could only perform a few basic attacks, but after training a lot, he developed different “Gears” that enabled him to fight strong opponents. When Luffy finally awakened his devil fruit, he was able to utilize it to the fullest. Luffy dubbed his awakening Gear Fifth, and it completely altered his appearance. Luffy gained white hair, eyebrows, and clothes, and a white cloud covered his back. In this form, Luffy’s power reached new levels. He was able to alter his body shape as much as he wanted. It reached the point where even Kaido called the devil fruit’s power absurd. Overall, Gear Fifth is one of the most unique power-ups in the series.


Greatest Feat: Luffy has faced countless opponents, each one stronger than the last. As a result, his catalog of achievements is extremely impressive, but his biggest feat is undoubtedly defeating Kaido, who was considered the “strongest creature in the world.” As expected, Kaido proved to be an extremely tough opponent for Luffy, who needed to combine the power of Gear Fifth and Advanced Conqueror’s Haki to take down the Yonko.

Weakness: The devil fruit is weak to sharp objects, making the user weak to cutting attacks. Without Haki, a talented swordsman could easily beat Luffy. Gear 5th also seems to be extremely taxing, as it takes a long time for Luffy to recover after using it.

8 Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus

Winged Horse From Greek Mythology

Doc Q and Stronger flying


  • Current User: Stronger
  • Debut: Chapter 1063, Episode 1092

Mythology has served as Eiichiro Oda’s inspiration for many of his characters, devil fruits, and other major elements in the story. One of Oda’s main inspirations has been Greek mythology. The Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus is one of the many devil fruits modeled after Greek mythological creatures. According to Greek mythology, Pegasus was a winged horse that could fly through the air at great speeds. The horse was considered untamable before Bellerophon finally got it under his control.

The devil fruit was eaten by Stronger, the horse of Doc Q. This Mythical Zoan devil fruit gave Stronger wings, granting him the ability to fly. Despite eating such a rare devil fruit, Stronger’s body was still weak, as evidenced by the fact that he nearly collapsed when Blackbeard got on top of him.


Greatest Feat: Stronger didn’t get enough screen time to prove what he was truly capable of. His biggest accomplishment was carrying two people before being sent crashing down by Trafalgar Law’s attack. Judging from Doc Q’s dialogue, it seems that Stronger is dead, and so the devil fruit might be passed on to someone else.

Weakness: The devil fruit doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses. However, it is safe to assume that if Stronger’s wings are damaged, he will become incapacitated.

7 Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix

Mythical Bird That Could Revive From Its Ashes

One Piece - Marco using Devil Fruit

  • Current User: Marco
  • Debut: Chapter 553, Episode 463


Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix is one of the few known devil fruits that grant the ability to fly. The devil fruit was eaten by Marco when he was still an apprentice on Whitebeard’s ship. Like the usual Zoan-type fruits, it grants Marco extra strength and recovery in addition to his flight powers.

Despite having fought numerous opponents, these One Piece characters never ended on the losing side.

The blue flames from the devil fruit grant Marco incredible regeneration. He can use it to recover from any injury, allowing him to take out the enemy by surprise. Marco can also use the flames to heal others around him, bringing them back into fighting shape. During the raid, Marco was able to fight King and Queen, while using his flames to save the alliance members from the Ice Oni virus. It is without a doubt one of the most overpowered devil fruits in the series.

Greatest Feat: Marco’s mythical zoan devil fruit allows him to fight multiple opponents at the same time. He was among the few characters whom the Five Elders believed were powerful enough to take down Blackbeard. Marco’s most remarkable feat was undoubtedly clashing against Big Mom and holding her off to help the Alliance.


Weakness: The Tori Tori no Mi drains the user’s stamina whenever they try to recover from an injury. If the healing is overused, the user will reach a point where they cannot utilize the powers any further. This is a problem, especially in prolonged fights.

6 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu

Golden Buddha That Symbolizes Enlightenment

Sengoku Fighting In His Buddha Form In One Piece

  • Current User: Sengoku
  • Debut: Chapter 571, Episode 480

Sengoku once served as the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, but after the time-skip, he became an Inspector General. Being an old-timer, Sengoku has fought against some of the biggest names in pirating history, including Shiki, Roger, and Whitebeard. He’s undoubtedly one of the strongest Marines in the series, and is the only known Marine who has access to all three types of Haki.


Sengoku possesses the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, which turns him into a gigantic golden Buddha. Whilst in this form, Sengoku is able to emit shockwaves from his palms. These shockwaves are very powerful, as they were able to wound the Blackbeard Pirates.

Greatest Feat: Sengoku is respected, not just by the Marines but also by the pirates. During a flashback in the Wano Country arc, it was revealed that even Roger considered Sengoku to be a worthy opponent. Sengoku’s devil fruit boosted his fighting abilities, and it helped him to take down Golden Lion Shiki. It is also worth noting that while Shiki managed to heavily wound Garp, there was no such news about Sengoku.

Weakness: Presently, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu does not have any major weaknesses. This makes it extremely difficult for the opponents to get the better of Sengoku in a fight.


5 Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami

Considered Guardian Deity Of Wano

Yamato Devil Fruit Inu Inu no Mi Model Okuchi no Makami

  • Current User: Yamato
  • Debut: Chapter 1071, Episode 1041

This devil fruit is among the most recent Mythical Zoan types to be revealed in One Piece. The devil fruit belongs to Yamato, Kaido’s son, who used the power of the devil fruit in his fight against his father. ​​​​​​With it, Yamato was able to hold his own against Kaido, the strongest creature in the world. Kaido complimented the power of the devil fruit and held it in high regard.

These One Piece characters have the desire to write their names in history.

Yamato has used the hybrid as well as full Zoan forms already. However, the true power of the devil fruit has not been revealed. There is still no clear information about the special ability of the devil fruit. All fans know is that as a carnivorous Zoan, it grants the user heightened senses, along with the regular powers of an ordinary Zoan devil fruit.


Greatest Feat: Yamato’s Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami allows him to transform into a mythical wolf. It greatly enhanced Yamato’s fighting abilities, and it also allowed him to produce ice. Yamato’s most impressive moment was clashing with his father.

Weakness: Considering the devil fruit is based on the guardian deity of Wano, it is hardly surprising that it does not have any weak points.

4 Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune

Mythical Creature That Can Change Shape

Catarina Devon One Piece Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit

  • Current User: Catarina Devon
  • Debut: Chapter 925, Episode 917

Eaten by Catarina Devon, the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyuni no Kitsune was introduced during the Wano Country arc. The devil fruit grants Catarina Devon the ability to shapeshift, which she has used to trick others.


During this arc, Catarina used the power of the devil fruit to fool Gecko Moria into believing that Absalom was still alive. The extent of the fruit’s powers remains unknown, but with time, more will surely be revealed.

Greatest Feat: Catarina Devon remains a mysterious character and there is very little that is known about her. The only thing that is known about her past is that she was considered to be the worst female pirate to be imprisoned in Impel Down.

Weakness: In order to morph into a person, Catarina Devon must touch them. This can be very challenging, especially when her opponent is strong.

3 Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi

A Serpent With Multiple Heads

Orochi's devil fruit Yamata no Orochi

  • Current User: None
  • Debut: Chapter 965, Episode 965


Orochi is one of the main villains of the Wano Country arc. He became the shogun of Wano after he joined hands with Kaido, one of the Yonko. With Kaido’s strength, Orochi was able to take over Wano and turn it into a wasteland.

Orochi was given the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi, by Kurozumi Higurashi. The devil fruit allows Orochi to transform into an eight-headed snake. The fruit enabled him to survive decapitation several times. Currently, it is unknown whether there is a limit on how many times Orochi can survive being killed.

Greatest Feat: Orochi is not a fighter by any means, but he is an extremely cunning individual. With his ruthlessness, Orochi managed to steal the position of the Shogun of Wano. The true potential of his devil fruit will never be known considering how cowardly he is.


Weakness: While the devil fruit did grant Orochi several lives, it didn’t offer him much physically. Orochi could not defend himself from the attacks of his opponents. However, it is unfair to pin the entire blame on the devil fruit, as Orochi wasn’t a fighter.

2 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Onyudo

Allows User To Turn Into Monk Yokai

Gyukimaru in his monk form

  • Current User: Onimaru
  • Debut: Chapter 936, Episode 932

This devil fruit was eaten by Onimaru, the former companion of Shimotsuki Ushimaru. It allows Onimaru to transform into a huge monk yokai and grants him human intellect. While transformed, the komagitsune is also able to speak in human language.

Onimaru was seen using the form against Roronoa Zoro. He managed to put up a decent fight against his opponent; however, the Straw Hat swordsman was eventually able to overpower the komagitsune.


Greatest Feat: Onimaru might be a fox, but he is very courageous and loyal. After Ushimaru’s death, Onimaru allied with Kawamatsu and started to steal weapons. In his transformed state, Onimaru was able to challenge and injure Roronoa Zoro.

Weakness: The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Onyudo made Onimaru stronger than many fighters, and it had no real vulnerability.

1 Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

Majestic Azure Dragon

One Piece - Kaido in his dragon form

  • Current User: Kaido
  • Debut: Chapter 921, Episode 912

Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is one of the strongest devil fruits within the entire series, eaten by Kaido before he became a Yonko. In his full Zoan form, Kaido is able to cover an entire town with ease. Kaido’s entire body is covered by scales that are nigh impossible to penetrate without strong haki.


In his hybrid form, Kaido is able to move more freely and avoid attacks easily. The fruit grants Kaido access to some incredible abilities such as Bolo Breath, Kaifu, Tatsumaki, etc. Bolo Breath in particular is a devastating attack that can wipe out a huge structure. The devil fruit also allows Kaido to “fly” through the air with the help of Flame Clouds. He can also use these clouds to make other things float, such as the island of Onigashima.

Greatest Feat: Because of his devil fruit, Kaido became an extraordinarily powerful individual. His strength was enough to scare the members of the Worst Generation. At the beginning of the Wano arc, he was able to take down Luffy with just one blow. Kaido’s overwhelming power helped him earn the title of “Strongest Creature in the World.”


Weakness: Kaido’s devil fruit made him incredibly powerful, and there was almost no one who could stand up to him. The Uo Uo no Mi’s biggest weakness is that when Kaido transforms into a dragon, his body becomes an easy target. Normally, it wasn’t a problem, but when he was fighting someone like Oden or Luffy, they could effortlessly damage his body. However, it is safe to say that the pros outweigh the cons.
