Summary
Known as the treasure of the sea, Devil Fruits are a major source of power in theOne Pieceworld. These fruits are extremely rare in the four Blues of the world, however, they’re very common in the Grand Line. These fruits, once consumed, grant tremendous powers to people but strip them of their ability to swim.
Whileall Devil Fruits in the story make their users strongerthan they were before eating them, some of them aren’t all that useful and offer very small advantages, making them some of the worst seen in the story so far.
Updated on June 16, 2025, by Rei Penber:Devil Fruits form the primary power system of the One Piece world and it is clear for the fans to see that Oda will always surprise fans with his incredible artistic imagination and new Devil Fruits. In the Final Saga, he has already revealed some of the most overpowered Devil Fruits to the fans. At the same time, there are other Devil Fruits that Oda has revealed in his story that aren’t all that special. While all Devil Fruits offer some sort of advantage to their eater, there are some that simply aren’t worth eating. As such, they can be considered to be theworst Devil Fruitsin the series. While this list already goes over the vast majority ofOne Piece’s worst Devil Fruits, there are others that deserve to be added to the list, and, with that, this list has now been updated.
24Ato Ato no Mi
User: Giolla
Used by Giolla, the Ato Ato no Mi is quite an interesting Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This fruit allows Giolla to transform any human or object into abstract art. While this looks interesting on the surface, it must be noted that to deal with it, the person must be hit with a cloud, which is quite hard to achieve.
It can also be easily broken free from if the user is knocked unconscious, and Giolla herself isn’t that great the user of this ability either, which makes this doubly weak.
23Mato Mato no Mi
User: Vander Decken IX
The Mato Mato no Mi is quite an interesting Devil Fruit as it allows the user to mark something that they touch and then their attacks hit that mark regardless of where they aim at and how far they throw it from. It is a very niche ability that most Devil Fruit users will not ever need.
Of course, it fit Vander Decken IX perfectly in the Fishman Island arc, however, for a regular user, this Devil Fruit isn’t all that good. Furthermore, the prerequisite of making contact with the user first is a big downside of this Devil Fruit. It is certainly among the worst fruits that one could have.
22Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Albatross
User: Big News Morgans
That Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Albatross is quite a special Zoan type Devil Fruit. As the name suggests, it allows the user to transform into an albatross and a human-albatross hybrid at will. While this fruit is a bird fruit, it does not allow the user to fly, which is a massive weakness.
Furthermore, the combat abilities that this fruit grants aren’t all that special, since albatross isn’t a bird that is specifically suited for combat. Among the Zoan types, it is certainly among the weakest ones that the fans have seen, and thus, for any user, this would be one of the worst fruits to have.
21Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki
User: Sukiyaki’s Teapot
As the name suggests, the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki is a Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a Tanuki. This creature is quite small and not particularly intimidating. When it comes to the Zoan types of the One Piece world, this creature is absolutely nothing special.
Every transformation, be it the human form, the hybrid form, or the full beast form, that is offered by this Devil Fruit is useless, more or less.
20Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Suzumebachi
User: Bian
That Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Suzumebachi is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows users to transform into a hornet at will. It is a decent Devil Fruit, however, when compared to other Zoan types, it is nothing special. Furthermore, it only allows the user to turn into a bug, which most people can just swat away. This Devil Fruit was eaten by a member of the tontatta tribe, Bian.
This fruit wasn’t all that special in the Dressrosa arc, and it certainly won’t be special in the future either. It didn’t even manage to leave an impression on the fans and all its abilities are rather useless.
19Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model: Kabutomushi
User: Kabu
Another model of the Mushi Mushi no Mi, the Kabutomushi fruit allows the user to transform into a rhinoceros beetle and its hybrid that will. Once again, this is a fruit that gives the user the ability to turn into an insect and nothing more.
There is only so much one can do as a rhinoceros beetle, and in the grand scheme of things, it isn’t all that special. When it comes to the Devil Fruits that exist in the One Piece world, this is certainly among the underwhelming ones that fans have seen in the story and that is why it makes the cut for the worst Devil Fruit in One Piece.
18Awa Awa no Mi
User: Kalifa
The Awa Awa no Mi is a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit that was eaten by one of the members of CP0, Kalifa. This fruit was introduced to the fans when Kalifa wasa member of the CP9during the Enies lobby arc. It was gifted to her by Spandam and upon eating it, she became a soap human. Using this power, Kalifa can produce bubbles from her entire body and also use soap bubbles to defend himself from incoming attacks.
Using soap bubbles on others, she can remove dirt from their bodies and also strip them of their powers, leaving them in a weakened state, however, these bubbles are quite easy to counter. A strong gust of wind is powerful enough to blow them away and just by splashing some water on them, the effect of this Devil Fruit simply wears off. While the concept of this fruit is great, it is absolutely useless against any decent fighter in the One Piece world, which is why Nami easily found a counter to it as well.
17Fude Fude no Mi
User: Kanjuro
The Fude Fude no Mi is also a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit and this one was eaten by Kanjuro of the Kurozumi Clan. This fruit allows him to produce ink and use an ink brush to paint whatever he likes and bring it to life. While the concept of this ability is amazing and Kanjuro’s usage of it certainly was, it also requires a user to be a very skilled artist.
This means that if a non-artistic person eats this Devil Fruit, their drawings will simply not be all that effective. All of Kanjuro’s drawings that were imperfect that he drew on purpose were frail. If a person with bad skills were to eat it, which would be the vast majority of theOne Pieceworld, these drawings would simply not be effective at all, and would make this Devil Fruit quite useless. While Kanjuro did use it to great effect in the Wano arc, normal people wouldn’t be able to do anything even remotely close to that and that alone makes it one of the worst Devil Fruits to exist inOne Piece.
16Fuku Fuku no Mi
User: Kinemon
The Fuku Fuku no Mi is a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit that was eaten by Kin’emon of the Akazaya Nine. This Devil Fruit allows Kin’emon to grant clothes to anyone after he puts an object on top of their heads. These clothes can be anything that he imagines and This can prove to be very useful for infiltration missions, as was seen during the Raid of Onigashima. However, destroying these outfits is quite simple, and even light blows are enough to completely make them disappear.
This fruit has no value in fighting and all that it does is give fake clothes to the user themselves or to other people. In all his fights seen inOne Piece,Kin’emon has never utilized his Devil Fruit and that is simply because he knows that this fruit is rather useless. The Fuku Fuku no Mi is certainly one of the worst Devil Fruits to have been introduced inOne Pieceso far.
15Poke Poke no Mi
User: Blamenco
The Poke Poke no Mi is another Paramecia Devil Fruit that was eaten by a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Blamenco the Mallet. This Devil Fruit gives Blamenco the ability to create pockets in his own body where he can store anything and everything that he wants. Blamenco stores quite a lot of stuff inside, such as his absolutely massive mallets.
Any person who eats this Devil Fruit would have near-unlimited storage inside their own bodies, however, other than that, this fruit doesn’t really do much, which makes it rather bland when compared to the many other powerful Devil Fruits seen in the world ofOne Piece.While it certainly does have utility and would make the user stronger in a way, it simply does not have anything going for itself when compared to most other Devil Fruits that exist in the world ofOne Piece.For that and for many other reasons, the Poke Poke no Mi is one of the worst Devil Fruits in the story so far.
