5 Devil Fruits that can compete with Imu's Demon Form

Elbaf arc off One Piece is one of the most exciting parts of the story by far, and one of the biggest reasons for that is that it showcases One Piece's strongest and most feared character, Saint Imu Neronain all-out action for the very first time. As fans already know, Saint Imu Nerona is the one One Piece the secret sovereign of the world.

Throughout this arc, Imu has shown her incredible powers, which include a demonic form which can take down pretty much any enemy, grant immortality and even create Demonic contracts. Although the demon form given by their Devil Fruit is strong, there are some other Devil Fruits that can compete with it, like Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika or Blackbeard's Yami Yami no Mi.

Gura Gura no Mi

A devil fruit that can destroy the world

• User: Blackbeard, Whitebeard (former)

• Type: Paramecia

Gura Gura no Mi, also known as Tremor-Tremor Fruitis a Devil Fruit that potentially can destroy the world of One Piece. It is called the strongest Paramecia, and for good reason. This fruit, as the name suggests, can cause loads of disasters such as massive earthquakes or huge tsunamis.

This devil fruit has the most destructive power of alland in terms of large-scale destruction at close range, even Imu's demon form is no match. This devil fruit was previously used by the world's strongest man, Edward Newgate, commonly known as Whitebeard. After his death this fruit was stolen by Blackbeard. Blackbeard definitely has some big plans for this fruit and its powers.

Toshi Toshi no Mi

A devil fruit that can create alternate futures

• User: Jewelry Bonney

• Type: Paramecia

Toshi Toshi no Mi is an often overlooked Devil Fruit in One Piecebut it definitely has huge potential. Toshi Toshi no Mi, previously thought to be an age-related fruit, actually turned out to be a fruit that affects the future. This Paramecia fruit allows Bonney to change her or anyone else's future based on what she imagines to be real. The more likely it is, the easier the future is for her to access. This means that the fruit can give Bonney the power of other Devil Fruits without even eating them, and it's truly terrifying to think about.

At just 12 years old, Bonney has mastered this power, and she's already showing terrifying potential. Bonney could transform into Nika during the Egghead arc and basically copy Luffy's powers. It would not be far-fetched to say Bonney could do the same to Imu and transforms into his own demon form to compete with them.

Yami Yami no Mi

A Devil Fruit that can nullify the abilities of others

• User: Blackbeard

• Type: Lodge

Yami Yami no Mi, or the dark-dark fruitis pretty weird when it comes to Devil Fruits. It is one Logia fruit but does not allow one to turn into darkness. On top of that, its user instead takes twice as much damage as normal. In exchange, however, it allows one to gain access to one of the craziest abilities ever seen One Pieceand that is to say the power to nullify other Devil Fruit powers. With that, it makes sense why it would be called the strongest Logia in One Piece.

Yami Yami no Mi is currently in possession of Blackbeardand he has yet to show his full potential. This Devil Fruit is very special and it is certainly one of the keys to defeating the Imu as it can easily remove their powers.

Loki's legendary devil fruit

An unknown Devil Fruit that will be overpowered

Loki, the Cursed Prince of Elbafhas proven to be a central character in recent One Piece arc, and yet there's still a lot that fans don't know about him, including his Devil Fruit. Loki has claimed to have a legendary fruit and is even said to have Nika's powers. However, Loki cannot be the real Nika, as that power is currently in Luffy's possession.

However, this doesn't mean Loki doesn't have a crazy Devil Fruit. Loki is not one to be underestimated, and his powers could possibly rival Imu's when revealed after the God Valley Flashback.

Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika

A devil fruit that transforms one into the sun god Nika upon awakening

• User: Monkey D. Luffy, Joy Boy (former)

• Type: Mythical Zoan

If there is a Devil Fruit as legendary as Imu, it is without a doubt, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. Previously thought to be Gomu Gomu no Mithis fruit shows its true nature only after awakening. Once awakened, the Nika fruit allows one to become the Sun God of the One Piece world – Nika. Nika's powers are almost limitless as they allow one to use their imagination as a source of strength. Anything the user can imagine can become real with this power.

The current user of this fruit is none other than One Piece's beloved protagonist, Luffy. Its previous users were Joy Boy, during the empty century. This Devil Fruit probably lasts the secret behind Imu's weakness and may be needed to take down the world government.
