Due to the high number of devil fruits, it is important to get the right one. Oda has explained that certain devil fruits are rarer than others. The rarest devil fruits in One Piece are highly sought after, but only the most determined characters manage to find them.
7 Ope Ope no Mi
The Ope Ope no Mi is a Paramecia-type devil fruit and currently belongs to Trafalgar Law. It was given to the Worst Generation member by Donquixote Rosinante, who stole it from Diez Barrels. In the Underworld, the Ope Ope no Mi had a price tag of 5 billion berries. Many people might question the price, but bearing in mind the power that it grants, the valuation seems pretty fair.
The Ope Ope no Mi grants its user tons of different abilities, such as being able to create a ROOM, nullifying the sound, swapping places instantly, etc. However, the reason it is so valuable is that it enables the user to perform Immortality Surgery. The surgery, as its name suggests, grants eternal youth to another person, but it comes at the cost of the user’s life. The combination of all these abilities makes it a rare devil fruit.
6 Yami Yami no Mi
The Yami Yami no Mi belongs to the Logia class, making it a powerful devil fruit. Blackbeard wanted the devil fruit so badly that he decided to kill his fellow crewmate, who had found it first. Once Blackbeard ate the devil fruit, he became one of the strongest characters in the series.

With the power of the Yami Yami no Mi, Blackbeard is able to nullify the effects of other devil fruits, which is a frightening ability to have. Furthermore, Blackbeard can also drag in any object or person with the Yami Yami no Mi’s darkness.
5 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika is better known as the Gomu Gomu no Mi. In order to hide the actual power of the devil fruit, the World Government changed its name, and they even tried to acquire it many times. However, all of their attempts failed.
Currently, the devil fruit is in the possession of Monkey D. Luffy, who is one of the Yonko. Luffy awakened the devil fruit’s latent power in his fight with Kaido. His newest form is called Gear Fifth, and it allows him to perform outlandish attacks. After witnessing the power of Luffy’s Gear Fifth, even Kaido was perplexed. Considering the World Government’s efforts to obtain the devil fruit, it is obviously quite special.
4 Gura Gura no Mi
The Gura Gura no Mi is considered to be the strongest devil fruit in One Piece. The devil fruit is said to have the power to destroy the world, and it was one of the main reasons why Whitebeard was so feared by the Marines. The Gura Gura no Mi allows its user to create tremors.

Depending on the location, the tremors caused by the devil fruit can lead to tsunamis or regular earthquakes. Following Whitebeard’s death, Blackbeard wasted no time in stealing the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, becoming the first and only person to possess two devil fruits.
3 Mero Mero no Mi
2 Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu
The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is a Mythical Zoan-type devil fruit. It was consumed by Kaido many years prior to the start of the story. The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is one of the strongest devil fruits to have been revealed in the series so far.
It allows its user to turn into an Azure Dragon, but it is possible to switch to a hybrid form. When transformed, the user’s body is covered by rigid scales. These grant an extremely high level of protection, and it is impossible to hurt the user without Advanced Busoshoku Haki.
1 Hobi Hobi no Mi
The Hobi Hobi no Mi is often overlooked in debates about the strongest devil fruit in One Piece because it doesn’t grant any flashy abilities. However, it is objectively one of the best devil fruits in the entire series.
The Hobi Hobi no Mi enables its user to transform their opponent into a toy. Once the person has been transformed, all memories of the person’s existence are erased. Thus, there is no chance of someone coming to their rescue. Furthermore, the people turned into toys have to obey all orders from the user of Hobi Hobi no Mi. Being able to one-shot an opponent combined with its ability to expunge all recollection of the person’s existence makes the Hobi Hobi no Mi an extremely rare devil fruit indeed.
