As One Piece has proven time and time again, a strong Devil Fruit makes for a strong character. Of the three Devil Fruit types — Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia — there is no question that Logia possess the most devastating power, making its users among the strongest characters in the entire series.

Logia Fruits allow their users to transform into a natural element, and as a result, they are generally impervious to most non-Haki-based attacks and abilities. Among the users of these Devil Fruits, a clear pecking order has developed. While each possesses enough strength to be a formidable opponent, some are clearly stronger than their peers.

Updated on October 30th, 2022 by Kennedy King: Now that One Piece's Wano Country arc has finally concluded, the franchise is moving into what has been confirmed to be its final saga. More pieces than ever are on the board in the series' narrative, including more Logia Devil Fruit users than ever before. While only time will tell what is in store for Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, it's safe to say that the strongest Logia users will continue to exert their will on the events of the New Era.

One Piece Wano Country arc spoilers ahead!

13 Monet

Devil Fruit: Yuki Yuki no Mi

While every Logia user is more than capable of surviving on the Grand Line, Monet demonstrates that it takes more than a strong Devil Fruit to be a major player in the New World. Her Fruit, the Yuki Yuki no Mi, allows her to control and transform her body into snow.

This ability, as with all Logia Fruit, makes her a nightmare for most non-Haki users. However, its lack of offensive firepower and weakness to heat makes her the weakest Logia user in all of One Piece.

12 Caribou

Devil Fruit: Numa Numa no Mi

As one of the more famous rookie pirates, Caribou is fairly powerful. He boasts a bounty of over 200 million Berries and first made his appearance during the Return to Sabaody arc around the same time as the Straw Hats appeared for their reunion.

Caribou possesses the Numa Numa no Mi, which allows him to create and manipulate the powers of swamps. Although he is frequently treated like a gag character, there is no denying that his Devil Fruit makes him a dangerous threat to most Marines. However, for those capable of using Armament Haki, he poses little threat.

11 Caesar Clown

Devil Fruit: Gasu Gasu no Mi

Caesar Clown loves carrying out bizarre experiments. He was introduced in the Punk Hazard arc and makes multiple appearances in subsequent One Piece arcs. His evil-scientist personality perfectly complements the powers of his Devil Fruit, the Gasu Gasu no Mi.

The Gasu Gasu no Mi grants Caesar the power to control gases. Since Caesar is the leading expert on chemical weapons of mass destruction, he is able to maximize the limits of his powers — unfortunately for him, his lack of Haki prevents him from threatening One Piece's strongest characters.

10 Portgas D. Ace

Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi

Portgas D. Ace in One Piece

Before his death at Marineford, Portgas D. Ace was the brightest young star sailing along the Grand Line. His lineage as the son of Gol D. Roger and ownership of the Mera Mera no Mi, one of the most offensively potent Devil Fruit in the entire series, made him a huge threat to the enemies of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace's Devil Fruit granted him the powers of fire, allowing him to transform into the substance at will. While he didn't use his Haki abilities on screen, the fact that he possessed them at all was a huge reason for his hefty bounty of 500 million Berries.

9 Smoker

Devil Fruit: Moku Moku no Mi

Marine Vice Admiral Smoker during One Piece's Punk Hazard arc

Smoker has been following the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates since his first encounter with them during the Loguetown arc. He and Luffy were most recently face-to-face on Punk Hazard, but he has clearly fallen behind the Straw Hat Pirate captain in terms of strength since the time skip.

The Moku Moku no Mi allows Smoker to freely manipulate the properties of smoke, which, coupled with the Haki abilities that he developed during the timeskip, makes him one of the stronger Vice Admirals in the Marines. While he won't be challenging Luffy again anytime soon, he has proven to be a valuable asset throughout the series.

8 Crocodile

Devil Fruit: Suna Suna no Mi

At one point, Crocodile seemed to be an insurmountably strong opponent. He defeated Monkey D. Luffy on two different occasions, so his eventual defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Captain was certainly a shock to the residents of Alabasta.

Crocodile's Suna Suna no Mi allows him to create and manipulate sand, as well as drain the moisture from different living beings. Its massive potential makes up for his underdeveloped Haki abilities, especially considering the fact that he was able to hold his own during the Summit War of Marineford.

7 Enel

Devil Fruit: Goro Goro no Mi

Enel during One Piece's Skypiea arc

Enel and his devastating Devil Fruit, the Goro Goro no Mi, are as suited for each other as almost any combo in the world of One Piece. His lightning-based abilities make short work of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Shandorians, and if weren't for Luffy's rubber nature — a natural counter to lightning — Enel would likely still be undefeated in combat.

The only thing preventing Enel from being among One Piece's strongest characters is his inexperience with using Haki. However, considering that he naturally developed some of the strongest Observation Haki in the series, he could easily make up ground on those more powerful than him.

6 Sabo

Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi

Sabo is the second-highest-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army. He is the right-hand man of Monkey D. Dragon, the most wanted man in the world, and grew up alongside Portgas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy as sworn blood brothers in the East Blue. Sabo has trained with the likes of Hack, Kuma, Ivankov, and (presumably) Dragon. This helped him develop a Martial arts style called Ryusoken, which he displayed during the events of Dressrosa.

Sabo is also the current owner of Mera Mera no Mi, the former Fruit of Ace, and has demonstrated extreme proficiency with it post-timeskip. Recent events in the series confirmed that Sabo and his allies held off two Marine admirals — Fujitora and Ryokugyu — in Mary Geoise, so he's clearly grown as a character.

5 Ryokugyu

Devil Fruit: Mori Mori no Mi

Admiral Ryokugyu defeating King and Queen with his Devil Fruit in One Piece.

Marine Admiral Ryokugyu's identity remained a secret for the majority of the Wano arc, but after a lengthy period of anticipation, he has finally been revealed. Armed with the Mori Mori no Mi, Ryokugyu is capable of transforming into an avatar of nature itself.

The powers of the Mori Mori no Mi are on par with the strongest in the series, so it should come as no surprise that he was able to rapidly climb the ranks of the Marines. He easily held off many of Wano's strongest fighters, and although he stood no chance against Shanks, his performance against Yamato, Momonosuke, and others was a painful demonstration of his abilities.

4 Kizaru

Devil Fruit: Pika Pika no Mi

Marine Admiral Kizaru during the events of One Piece

As one of the fastest characters in all of One Piece, Marine Admiral Kizaru is a major asset to the World Government. Kizaru is the oldest Admiral in the Navy and has one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in the series, the Pika Pika no Mi, which grants him the ability to control light.

The Pika Pika no Mi user is one of the most experienced fighters in the series, having served the Marines for decades. Kizaru showed how dangerous he could be when he turned up at Sabaody Archipelago, defeating Supernovas left, right, and center. Even at Marineford, he caused significant trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates.

3 Kuzan

Devil Fruit: Hie Hie no Mi

Aokiji stands ready in One Piece.

Kuzan used to be a Marine Admiral, which placed him in an elite tier of fighters in the world of One Piece. Although he left the Marines after losing his fight against Admiral Akainu, their grueling bout lasted for ten days and left the island of Punk Hazard a ravaged wasteland, proving his strength in combat.

It was due to Kuzan's Devil Fruit, the Hie Hie no Mi, that the Marines weren't instantly wiped out by Whitebeard during the Marineford arc. The Hie Hie no Mi allows its users to manipulate the powers of ice, effectively serving as a workaround to the Devil Fruits' natural weakness to water.

2 Akainu

Devil Fruit: Magu Magu no Mi

Akainu holds the position of Fleet Admiral in the Marines, a title he earned by defeating former Admiral Kuzan in one-on-one combat. His Magu Magu no Mi Devil Fruit is said to have more offensive capabilities than any other Fruit in the series, making his magma-imbued strikes a threat to even the strongest pirates on the Grand Line.

Akainu single-handedly held off the pirate forces at the Summit War on multiple occasions, and although he was briefly struck down by Whitebeard, he had no issues recovering from the Yonko's attack. He will undoubtedly present a huge hurdle for the Straw Hat Pirates in the future, speaking to his overwhelming strength and Devil Fruit abilities.

1 Blackbeard

Devil Fruit: Yami Yami no Mi

While there is plenty of competition, Blackbeard is undoubtedly the most powerful Logia user in One Piece. He is in possession of two massively overpowered Devil Fruits — the Gura Gura no Mi and the Yami Yami no Mi. The Yami Yami no Mi is a unique Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows Blackbeard to nullify other Devil Fruit powers.

Although the Devil Fruit doesn't provide Blackbeard with intangibility like most of the other Logia Fruit, his tremendous offensive firepower makes his weakness difficult to take advantage of. As evidenced by his clashes with Shanks, Ace, and Whitebeard, Blackbeard is legitimately capable of challenging Luffy for the title of King of the Pirates.
