One Piece reveals a new ability that negates Devil Fruit Powers

Devil Fruits form the primary power system in the world of One Piece and there is a multitude of faculties all classified under the classes of Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. Over the years, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the series, has introduced overpowered Devil Fruits one by one, especially with the series entering its Final Saga on August 29, 2022.

One Piece chapter 1183, published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #26 on May 24, 2026, set up the powers of an overpowered Devil Fruit that has the potential to take away the abilities of other Devil Fruits. This Devil Fruit is none other than Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zaza, which is a God Devil Fruit recently introduced in the Elbaf arc.

One Piece's Rain God Zaza Power has the potential to remove all abilities

When it comes to Devil Fruit abilities that can take away the powers of other Devil Fruits, only one had been introduced by Eiichiro Oda until recently, and that is Blackbeard's Yami Yami no Mi. This Devil Fruit made its debut in One Piece Chapter 441, which was released in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump issue 8 on January 22, 2007.

Yami Yami no Mi is said to be the most dangerous of all the Devil Fruits found in the world of One Piece. With its darkness, it absorbs everything, including light, as well as the elusiveness that the fruit offers. Most of all, it soaks up the abilities of other Devil Fruits as well. By making direct contact with Devil Fruit users, it can completely nullify their powers, making the user nearly invincible in battle.

“You cannot kill me. This power is said to be the most dangerous of all abilities in existence. With this ability, I have become the strongest!” — Blackbeard to ace in one piece chapter #441

Now, over 19 years later, Eiichiro Oda has officially set up another Devil Fruit with the ability to remove Devil Fruit powers, and it is Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zaza. This Devil Fruit was first set up in One Piece in Chapter 1182, which was officially released on May 10, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #24, where Killingham dreamed of the Rain God Zaza's MMA. The Rain God's powers allow it to cancel out the Devil Fruit abilities of others. The rain god is said to throw down rain and pour enormous amounts of water over the heads of those below. As seen in chapters 1182 and 1183, it can flood entire gigantic villages in minutes. Once flooded, the vast majority of people there end up drowning, and through this drowning, it can basically remove the Devil Fruit abilities of all those who stand in its way.

So far, only the drowning ability of the MMA version of Rain God Zaza has been shown in One Piece chapters 1182 and 1183. However, in the world of One Piece, there is a Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zaza, whose powers far surpass this MMA version that the Elbaf arc has officially introduced. As such, the Rain God Zaza's true powers will become much stronger and can potentially wipe out entire countries with the massive amount of rain and the floods that come with it.

With the introduction of the Zaza Devil Fruit, One Piece officially has two fruits that can remove abilities. One belongs to Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, and the other is either waiting for a future eater in the Final Saga, or belongs to an unknown individual right now, creating an exciting turn of events in One Piece.

The Zaza Devil Fruit's canceling powers make it feared among the heavenly dragons

Not much has been revealed about the role that Rain God Zaza previously played during the Void Century. The only thing we know so far is that all the celestial dragons fear the rain god Zaza, and this is because they are above the clouds, and something beyond their control, like a natural disaster, terrifies them to no end. The rain god, who bestows the nether world with rain and enormous amounts of flood water, is a great fear to them.

“We were born in a place so high, it's mainly the rain clouds. Water coming down from the sky? It's a mysterious terror! After the people of D and Nika, it was the most common boogeyman they warned us that…that in the lower world there is a monster called the Rain God that dumps water on top of your head!” —Saint Killingham, One Piece Chapter #1182

This fear is also likely due to the enmity they share. The rain god Zaza is an enemy of the celestial dragons, as confirmed by Saint Killingham and Sommers, who both confirm that the celestial dragons fear it in the same way they fear humans from D. and the sun god Nika. The details of their clash from the past are still unclear at this time, but given that they fought in the past, it is highly likely that their clash took place sometime during the Void Century.

“Summers, I messed up! I called the wrong thing! What I'm afraid of… I got overzealous!” —Saint Killingham, One Piece Chapter #1182

Like Nika the Sun God, Zaza the Rain God will appear before the official start of the Great War, which will soon follow the events of the Arc of Elbaf, and that is something we are all eagerly waiting to see. With a powerful ability that can control the terrain by flooding and basically nullifying other Devil Fruit powers, the Rain God Zaza is sure to be very important going forward.

Why the devil fruit-cutting power of the rain god Zaza will be key in the fight against Nerona Imu

Right now, One Piece is in the climax of the Elbaf arc, with chapter 1183 marking the continuation of the battle between Nerona Imu and Loki. This chapter also took us 70 years into the past and delivered the beginning of Brook's backstory from the Esperia Kingdom, which was completely destroyed sometime in the past. Right after this flashback is over, Eiichiro Oda will take us back to the main battles, and this is where the possibility of the Rain God Zaza teaming up with Nika and Nidhoggr arises.

The Rain God Zaza is by nature an enemy of the Celestial Dragons, and combined with the fact that Killingham cannot control it perfectly, as confirmed in Chapter 1182, it sets up an interesting turn of events that could see it combine its forces against the Celestial Dragons instead of helping them.

Sommers: You idiot! Now you are going to scare us!! But you can still control it, right?

Killingham: Don't know. It's still bedtime, so I think so.

Sommers: Well, what's done is done.

In either case, the true rain god Zaza, who will appear sometime later in the final saga, will also take a stand against Nerona Imu and the celestial dragons. With the immense ability to nullify the Devil Fruit powers of the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, and potentially even Nerona Imu herself, Rain God Zaza will be a key player later in the story whose powers may hold the key to defeating Nerona Imu. No doubt, we are all eager to see Eiichiro Oda explore the powers of the Rain God later in One Piece.
