Summary
Many Devil Fruits have made their appearance inOne Piece, bringing with them a whole host of extremely powerful abilities that have, more or less, defined the power structure of this fascinating world. Some fruits give the power to transform into animals, while others give abilities that are unique in their properties, divided into the 3 categories of Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia type Devil Fruits.
The latter are often considered by many to bethe rarest and most powerful Devil Fruits of them all, as those lucky few who have eaten them are some of the strongest characters in the entire franchise. The users of these Devil Fruits have shown up time and time again inOne Pieceas either powerful allies or terrifying villains, so let’s break down what Logia type Devil Fruits are!
What Are Logia Type Devil Fruits?
First Appearance
One Piece, Episode 48, “The Town of the Beginning and the End - Arrival at Loguetown”
Notable Users
Smoker, Ace, Crocodile, Blackbeard, Kizaru, Enel
Introduced very early on in the series, Logia type Devil Fruits would only officially be named far later on when explaining Enel’s abilities during the Skypeia arc. Broadly speaking, Logia type Devil Fruits are those that give the user the ability to control vast amounts of a certain natural element, as well as letting them transform their entire body into this element as well. While very straightforward, these fruits are incredibly powerful.
You learn the name of the fruit when you gain its power, but it is a gamble as to what kind of power you’ll gain.
Discounting Mythical Zoan, Logia types are the rarest and also the most powerful kinds of Devil Fruits. Though diverse in terms of the elements they give their users to manipulate, the fruits themselves are fairly similar in terms of usage, as they all let the user create almost endless amounts of their assigned element from their bodies, which is the defining aspect of these fruits and whatdifferentiates them from some Paramecia.
The Power Of Logia Types
Another aspect that differentiates Logia type Devil Fruits from those Paramecia types that produce substances is that what they produce is a natural element, whereas the Paramecia types are artificial substances. This is an incredibly important distinction, as these abilities take the form of various states of matter or energy.
The defense that Logia Devil Fruits give is incredible since users are typically immune to all kinds of physical damage, as any harm done to them is followed by the element within their body healing the ailment. Whether it’s a substantial blow to the body or even the severing of a limb, they’re quickly reformed due to the attributes of the Devil Fruit. A great example of this isLuffy’s fight with Crocodile, where Luffy was unable to do any damage to the villain due to his Devil Fruit simply reforming him back into shape after every attack.
Though some powers of those fruits based on solid elements can always reform their user, the few with gaseous or energy-based powers make their users almost completely intangible. However, the standard weaknesses of all Devil Fruits apply to these as well, with seawater or Seastones negating their abilities completely andattacks reinforced with Busoshoku/Armament Hakican damage them as well.
Moreover, the Logia types each face weaknesses that are synonymous with their respective elements, such as water canceling out the abilities of sand, rubber negating the strength of lightning, or even magma negating the effects of fire.
A fruit of the Logia family, the most powerful of all Devil Fruits!
The way that these fruits work is by having the user transform one part of their body into their respective element and then use it as much as they want, which isdifferent from Paramecia types, as they just create the substance from their bodies, or out of thin air, directly. If their respective elements are seen in nature or anywhere externally, the user can merge with them or even absorb them within themselves.
Notable Logia Type Devil Fruits:
Due to them being the rarest Devil Fruits out of them all, without taking Mythical Zoans into account, Logia types are incredibly rare in the world, due to which they are seen quite sparingly throughout the series. This is why almost all of them are very powerful, but here are a few examples of some very important Logia type Devil Fruits.
