It seems that the marines dominated this SBS, as fans not only got to find out information about the past of the marine admirals who joined during the timeskip, namely Fujitora and Green Bull, but they found out at the same time. a lot of information about the SWORD members seen active in Egghead.

Oda reveals important details about the Navy vice admirals on Egghead

• New Admirals' Fighting Styles Revealed
• Oda reveals Navy Devil Fruita

The Navy Vice Admirals were minor antagonists in the Egghead Island arc. Immediately after it was announced that the Marines would attempt to attack Egghead, fans knew that the Vice Admirals of the Navy would be called into action. Vice Admiral Doll was one of the few fans saw in the beginning, leading a battleship against Egghead. It was then revealed that many other vice admirals would be joining them, and the likes of Doberman, who fans were introduced to before the time jump, also joined. At the same time, fans were also introduced to many new vice admirals for the Navy, and their abilities were finally illustrated in the story.

Oda showcased the true strength of the Vice Admirals, and while it was certainly impressive in some ways, like when Vice Admiral Doll fought some giants and hurt them, it was really disappointing in others, like when Franky absolutely destroyed Vice Admiral Red King with a strong right. Overall, they aren't much of a threat to a Yonko crew, but that doesn't mean they are weak. Unfortunately for them, they were up against Luffy's crew, and they had absolutely no way of winning against them. The most intriguing thing about these naval vice admirals who played a role in the Egghead Island Arc were their abilities.

Although not all of them had Devil Fruit powers, Oda certainly revealed some of them with incredible abilities that raised an eyebrow, to say the least. Some of them also had overpowered abilities, and now Oda has finally explained to fans what abilities they have and how they work.

Oda mentions new devil fruits in latest SBS

Oda reveals the unique Devil Fruits of the Navy Vice Admirals

Of course, when new marines were introduced to fans in Egghead, there was always the possibility that fans would see them in battle. That's exactly what happened on Egghead Island, and these naval vice admirals were up against the Straw Hat pirates, as well as their allies. To stop them, they used their full power, which also included new Devil Fruit abilities. Oda has finally named these Devil Fruits now, and their potential is clear.

Rako Rako no Mi

Rako Rako no Mi is a powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit that was introduced in the Egghead War. This Devil Fruit allows the user to transform into a sea otter at will. At the same time, the user can also transform into a hybrid sea otter, allowing them to retain the creature's powers in a humanoid form.

This Devil Fruit was eaten by Vice Admiral Pomsky. It is quite powerful and it allows him to channel his immense strength through his weapon. Considering that the Sea Otter is also an aquatic animal, it is highly likely that the Pomsky can survive underwater, but probably not swim. It's certainly not the best Devil Fruit introduced in One Piece, but it's exciting to say the least.

Tsutsu Tsutsu no Mi

Eaten by Vice Admiral Urban, Tsutsu Tsutsu no Mi was introduced to fans in the Egghead Island arc and is a very powerful Devil Fruit belonging to the Paramecia class. This Devil Fruit allows Urban to turn himself into a cannon, or use any specific part of his body and turn it into a cannon at will. This makes him a cannon man. The strength of the cannonballs he fires is probably the same as a naval battleship, making him very dangerous to say the least.

Nori Nori no Mi

Nori Nori no Mi is a Paramecia Devil Fruit eaten by Vice Admiral Bluegrass. This Devil Fruit was properly seen in the Egghead Island arc and its abilities were also revealed. Like the vast majority of the others introduced to fans in SBS, Oda explained its capabilities.

This Devil Fruit allows Bluegrass to ride anyone and then control them permanently. The user can even control strong Mark 3 Pacifista, or stronger humans as well. The only downside to this ability is that it can be countered by strong Haki, meaning it won't work against strong individuals.

Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Hound

The Inu Inu No Mi Model: Hound is a powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit eaten by the Vice Admiral Hound of the Marines. This Devil Fruit, as the name suggests, allows the user to transform into a dog and a dog hybrid. Considering that dogs are quite powerful, users of this Devil Fruit possess immense strength.

This is of course also not among the strongest Devil Fruits that fans got to see in the Egghead Island arc but is formidable to say the least. It must also be remembered that this Devil Fruit gives the power of a predatory dog, meaning it is perfect for battle, unlike others that were revealed in SBS, such as the Sea Otter Devil Fruit.

Are the naval vice admirals strong?

Those vice admirals are as strong as they need to be

Undoubtedly, Navy vice admirals are quite powerful. But they really aren't among the strongest individuals in One Piece and at this point can't be taken seriously anymore. Among the marines, only the admirals, the fleet admiral, and of course the exception of Garp can be considered a serious threat, aside from rising members of SWORD. That said, fans will most likely see some powerful Vice Admirals rise through the ranks, like Smoker, and make an impact once again.

One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free in the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1131, is set for November 11, 2024.
