Devil Fruits are mysterious, distinctive fruits scattered throughout the world, known for granting their eaters permanent superhuman powers. Apart from that, the fruits permanently take away the consumer’s ability to swim. Many of the world’s most powerful people have been strengthened by Devil Fruits, particularly among the Three Great Powers. This, combined with their general scarcity, makes them extremely valuable. There are over 100 different Devil Fruits in the world, yet there’s only one of each. Till now, in the story, there’s no valid source as to where the Devil Fruits come from or how they work. All we know is that each Devil Fruit has its own unique powers, and they all affect the eater differently.
Many members of the Straw Hat Crew have not had their Devil Fruit yet. The creator of the series One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, has talked about what Devil Fruit would be best for those members who haven’t had one yet.

Straw Hat Members and their Devil Fruits:
1. Monkey D. Luffy
He’s the son of Monkey D. Dragon and the grandson of Monkey D. Garp. Luffy is the head of the Straw Hearts and the Captain of the Crew. His ambition is to become the Pirate King and find the legendary treasure called “One Piece,” left by the previous Pirate King, “Gold Roger.”
Which Devil Fruit did Luffy eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Luffy was seven years old when he unknowingly ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which gives him the properties of rubber. He found the Devil Fruit in a chest that belonged to Red Hair Pirates. The fruit allows him to bounce, bend, twist, and inflate any part of his body. He can stretch any part of his body, including his arms, to increase the range of his punches, his legs to increase the range of his kicks, and his neck to increase the range of his headbutt. Thanks to his stretching, he can also reach faraway areas as he can stretch and grab something at that spot and pull himself there. He can also hurl himself like a slingshot with his spread arms.
With the Land of Wano arc reaching its climax, countless reveals have been made. One of those unveils how Shanks stole the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit for an unknown reason. However, it is said that this devil fruit is worth 5 Billion berries – to those who do not know, there are two different versions of One Piece or, let’s say – the creator of One Piece, Eichiro Oda, wrote two series before One Piece called, Romance Dawn. In the second part of the same, it has been stated, “the enemy ship happened to have it! It’s a dream fruit worth five billion berries”. So the true powers of the fruit and the reason behind why the World Government kept it hidden for a long time is yet to be found. There are also many theories on the Internet that compare Luffy to the Sun God Nika, as stated in Chapter 1018 of One Piece by Who Who.
As of now, the true extent of this Devil Fruit is far from known. However, it is clear that Luffy does have a hidden ace up his sleeves at this point.
2. Roronoa Zoro
Before devoting his life to becoming the strongest swordsman and fighter, Zoro had built a strong reputation of himself as a fearsome bounty hunter in the East Blue. His achievements and recognition as “Pirate Hunter” remained with Zoro even after he became a Pirate. He’s also popularly known as the Right Hand of Luffy.
Which Devil Fruit did Zoro eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
So far, Zoro has not yet eaten his devil fruit in the series. Fans on the Internet speculate that Zoro would not have one in the future either. This fan theory was slightly backed by Oda when he replied to a tweet that questioned what Devil Fruit would be best for Zoro. Oda responded that it would be Kaido’s Fruit, which is Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. This fruit allows the eater, or Kaido, to transform into a hybrid as well as a full version of an Azure Dragon at will. Oda also included that he’d rather Zoro’s swords have the fruit. He said that the swords turning into dragons would be very cool.
3. Cat Burglar Nami
Second Crew Member to join the Straw Hats, Nami is the navigator of the Pirates. Formerly a member of the Arlong Pirates, her initial plan was to join the Straw Hats Crew to rob them so that she could buy her village back from Arlong. However, she settled with actually joining the Crew after Arlong was defeated by the Straw Hats.
Which Devil Fruit did Nami eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Nami is also one of the crew members to not have eaten a devil fruit. Although it’s quite clear as to why the chances of her getting a Devil Fruit in the future is pretty low too. Nami doesn’t necessarily need a Devil Fruit seeing as how her job is to navigate the Ship and strategize, not to fight. Eiichiro’s official statement on Nami is “A true weather lady; now no one can stop her anymore (apart from Luffy).”
4. “God” Usopp
The fourth member of the Straw Hats Crew and the third to join, Usopp, is the team’s Sniper. He was born and raised in Syrup Village, where he served as Captain of the Usopp Pirates. Usopp was invited to join the Crew after working with the Straw Hats to defeat the Black Cat Pirates. He wishes to become a brave soldier of the sea like his father, Yasopp.
Which Devil Fruit did Usopp eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Usopp does not yet have a devil fruit to his name. Since a huge part of Usopp’s story is him trying to learn to be brave in a world of monsters, giving him a Devil Fruit would corrupt his personality. Usopp is modeled after his father, who is not a power holder. Oda states that if Usopp were to be given a Devil Fruit, it would be the Poke Poke no Mi. It’s a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the consumer to create pockets on their body. This fruit is already eaten by Blamenco.
5. “Black Leg” Sanji
The official Cook and Musician of the Crew, Sanji is the fourth member to join the Ship. He was previously the most famous and elite chef of the restaurant Baratie and worked under Zeff. Sanji comes from the Vinsmoke Family, the royal family of the Germa Kingdom. Sanji’s dream is to travel to All Blue, the rumored chef’s paradise. He is one of the top four fighters of the Straw Hats, alongside Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbe.
Which Devil Fruit did Sanji eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Sanji personally stated that if he could get any Devil Fruit, it would be the Suke Suke no Mi which he wishes to use to spy on girls while bathing. But since the addition of his Raid Suit that gives him the ability to go invisible, he would no longer need the fruit. Eiichiro said that he would want Sanji to eat the Sui Sui no Mi Devil Fruit. It’s a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives the consumer the ability to swim through hard substances such as the ground and walls. This fruit was eaten by Senor Pink, and that makes him a Free Swimming Human.
6. Tony Tony Chopper
Also known as “Cotton Candy Lover” Chopper, he’s the fifth member to join the Straw Hats Crew. He plays the role of a Doctor on the Ship after learning how to be one from his parental figures, Doctors Hiriluk and Kureha. Chopper is a reindeer from Drum Island. His dream is to one day become a doctor who can cure any disease all around the world.
Which Devil Fruit did Chopper eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Chopper is one of the few members of the Straw Hat Crew to have eaten a Devil Fruit. He ate the Hito Hito no Mi fruit that gives him the ability to transform into a human and reindeer-human hybrid at will. The fruit also gave him human intelligence and the ability to communicate in human language. It also allowed him to walk on two legs and grab things with his hoof hands.
7. Nico Robin
The sixth member to join the team and the seventh member of the Crew, Nico, is the archaeologist of the Straw Hats Pirates. She’s also known as the “Light of the Revolution” or called “Devil Child.” She’s the sole survivor of the Island Ohara of West Blue that was destroyed. Nico is the only person in the entire world who is known to have the ability to read and decipher Ponegyiplhs, a language that was considered forbidden and threatening to the World Government.
Which Devil Fruit did Nico eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Nico is another one of the crewmates to have eaten a Devil Fruit. Nico has eaten the Hana Hana no Mi fruit, which gave her the power to reproduce her body parts, or even her entire body, on any surface at will. She can even sprout duplicate body parts on top of her already duplicated body parts. The fruit allows Robin to be able to make limbs and parts grow from her opponent’s bodies as well. Her power is very useful when fighting a large number of enemies at once. Although the drawback of her power is that she can feel the pain in her body if any of her replicated body parts are hurt.
8. “Iron Man” Franky
He’s the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates and the seventh member to join the Crew. He’s originally from the island of South Blue, where he was born as Cutty Flam. He was later asked to change his name entirely to hide his identity, as suggested by Iceburg. Franky was abandoned by his family when he was four years old and was eventually led to Water 7. Due to an incident as one of Tom’s workers, he severely damaged his body. Because of this. he had to get his body augmented into a Cyborg. Franky’s dream is to create his own Ship and travel the world with it. This dream of his led him to make Thousand Sunny, the Ship that would carry the Straw Hat Pirates and help him accomplish his dream.
Which Devil Fruit did Franky eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Franky has not eaten any Devil Fruit so far in either the Manga or the Anime. Oda has said that if there were any fruit, he would want Franky to eat, it would be the Buki Buki no Mi. This Devil Fruit gives the eater the ability to change their body parts into weapons. This would allow Franky to turn into a Full-Body Weapon Human, like Baby 5. She’s the actual consumer of this Devil Fruit.
9. “Soul King” Brook
The musician of the Straw Hats and one of their two Swordsmen, he’s the eighth member to join the team. He was originally a member of the Rumbar Pirates. He died and was resurrected thanks to the power of a Devil Fruit. However, the soul took a lot of time to find his body which led him to have only skeletons as his body with only his Afro intact.
Which Devil Fruit did Brook eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Brook ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi devil fruit after he died that enhanced his soul to the point of resurrection. This Devil Fruit allows the user to live a second life and also be able to use soul-based activities. Consumption of this fruit doesn’t guarantee the full revival of the user’s body. But it does help the body out when it cannot support itself.
10. “Knight of the Sea” Jinbe
Ninth to join and the tenth member of the Crew, Jinbe is the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. Jinbe’s former Captain, Fisher Tiger, wished for coexistence and equality between men and fish-men. Jinbe has taken it upon himself to fulfill this dying wish. After the death of their first captain, Jinbe became the second captain of the Sun Pirates and would eventually become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Which Devil Fruit did Brook eat, and What are the Strengths of the Fruit?
Jinbe has not consumed any Devil Fruits till now. These fruits could hinder his ability to swim, and being half-fish, this would be a big loss for Jinbe. There’s no official statement from Oda that hints at Jinbe having a Devil Fruit.
