7 Overwhelmed Devil Fruits With The Biggest Drawbacks

Over the years, we've seen quite a few powerful Devil Fruits in the world One Piece. While all Devil Fruits make the user stronger, in one way or another, the way they do so differs from fruit to fruit. Some bear fruit and give powers that remain active perennially, while others need to be activated. At the same time, some fruits tend to drain the stamina of their users, while others simply do not affect it at all. There are a lot of devil fruits in there One Piece which are known to be overpowered, but also negatively affect the user and exhaust them if overused. These Devil Fruits, although rare, can actually be a double-edged sword in more ways than one.

Wapu Wapu no Mi

Wapu Wapu no Mi is a rather powerful Paramecia-type devil fruit eaten by none other than Van Augur, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates. This Devil Fruit allows Van Augur to warp himself, as well as those he touches, to any location nearby, likely nearby, in an instant.

Warp forces have always been overpowered in fiction, and this is no exception. But Van Augur stretching around people with him really takes a toll. It drains his stamina, and at the same time, his mastery of this Devil Fruit is not good enough for it to function properly. In the Egghead arc, Van Augur himself confirmed the fact that he has not fully trained his Devil Fruit skills yet and that with more mastery he would be able to use them more effectively. Currently it drains him too much to use multiple times in a row.

Urouge's Devil Fruit

Urouge's Devil Fruit is unlike any that fans have seen in One Pieceand it is also very different in terms of how it drains the user. It is likely that this fruit does not drain his power when activated. Instead, Urouge must be beaten for this power to work properly. Once he takes enough damage, he can convert this damage into his strength and fire it at his enemies, but this time the damage is many times greater.

Urouge's power seems to be centered around the concept of karma, and it is indeed an overpowered ability. But what you have to consider is that Urouge really takes a lot of damage when he gets hit, and in that sense, this Devil Fruit forces him to drain. When the damage is too great, Urouge can be knocked out, preventing him from fully using his powers.

Jiki Jiki no Mi

That Jiki Jiki no Mi is Eustass Kid's Devil Fruit, and it's a pretty interesting ability to hold. This fruit gives Kid the ability to control magnetism at will, and this power has certainly served him well throughout his journey as a pirate. Although the regular use of this Devil Fruit does not drain him much, it is the awakening that causes him trouble.

According to Kid, his awakening has not been mastered by him yet. Furthermore, he also only uses his awakening as a last ditch effort, simply because he hasn't mastered this aspect of his fruit yet, and it consumes far too much energy to even activate.

Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix is ​​one of the most incredible Devil Fruits belonging to the Mythical Zoan class, and it was eaten by the former first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco. This Devil Fruit is incredible as it allows him to transform into a Phoenix and a human-Phoenix hybrid at will. It also gives Marco access to the blue flames of resurrection, which can heal any damage within seconds, especially when it comes to his own body.

However, using the Blue Flames of Resurrection costs enormous stamina. The more Marco heals, the lower his stamina will be, and of course it will be harder for him to heal damage. Marco is a master of this Devil Fruit; But healing surely comes at a price, and eventually he can heal no more.

Yami Yami no Mi

Yami Yami no Mi is said to be the strongest Logia Devil Fruit, and according to Blackbeard, this Devil Fruit is the ultimate power that has chosen him. Yami Yami no Mi allows Blackbeard to control infinite darkness at will. On the surface, it doesn't look like an ability that actually drains Blackbeard in any way. However, given the fact that it is a Logia, this fruit has its negative effects, as it removes Blackbeard's intangibles and leaves him open to attack. Also, not only does it leave him open to attack, but it also makes him take significantly more damage from any punches he lands.

In that sense, this fruit actually ends up being quite taxing; But considering Blackbeard has a body that can absorb damage like a sponge, it's a perfect fit for him, and the benefits it provides are well worth it.

Ope Ope no Mi

Trafalgar Law's Ope Ope no Mi is one of the most incredible Paramecia Devil Fruits that allows him to create SPACE and manipulate almost anything inside. This Devil Fruit is pretty awesome; but even the activation of RUM costs quite a lot of stamina for Law. Furthermore, now that Law has awakened this Devil Fruit, it is even more demanding to use its powers than before, making it one of the most draining Devil Fruits in One Piece.

Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika

Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika drains her powers in many ways. Normally, this Devil Fruit does not drain Luffy at all. However, when Luffy starts using more complex powers, such as Gear Second, Gear Third and Gear Fourth, his stamina takes a serious hit.

Also, his stamina burns pretty quickly by using the power of Awakening. Luffy can't keep Gear 5 for long, and if he uses it for too long, he can even kill himself, which was confirmed in the fight against Kaido. Luffy's body ages rapidly when he disables this transformation, suggesting that the toll it takes on him is absolutely immense. While the power it offers is immense, allowing Luffy to even beat Kaido, the downsides are significant enough that it sometimes even requires luck for him to survive, as seen in Egghead.
