The world of One Piece is always shrouded in countless mysteries, and the formidable Devil Fruits are among the most captivating elements. In the ongoing Final Saga, Oda is gradually unveiling the deep secrets surrounding the origins and uses of these fruits. Notably, the Egghead arc and the legends of Harley from Elbaf have revealed some Devil Fruits that have existed since the era of the Void Century.
Moreover, Oda has directly introduced significant Devil Fruits that have roots from this long-hidden era.
The Origins of Devil Fruits in One Piece
From the very beginning of the story, Devil Fruits have played a crucial role and have created a completely shocking power system. As a result, for a long time, fans have posed questions about the formation of these mystical fruits.
Vegapunk has revealed that Devil Fruits could be products of the desires and hopes of humans, representing different evolutionary forms of mankind. Those with strong will can create Devil Fruits across different timelines by harnessing powers that those human beings have long desired.
In the Elbaf arc, the legends of Harley delve deeper into the Devil Fruits and how they were created. According to Harley, the world has returned to its original state many years after the Void Century was destroyed, and the God of Destruction has unleashed the magic of creation, giving birth to the fruits, or specifically, the Devil Fruits. In other words, the God of Destruction created the Devil Fruits here and forged them into the world.
Notable “Origin Power” Devil Fruits Existing in the Void Century
Fans certainly know that most of the Devil Fruits have been created long before the current timeline in the world of One Piece. Although the exact timeline of their creation has not been detailed, it is clear that several fruits were created in the Void Century.
Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
It is certain that Nika existed in the Void Century, evidenced by Joy Boy possessing this powerful fruit. Furthermore, it could be the first Devil Fruit, laying the groundwork for the emergence of other fruits.
Nikyu Nikyu no Mi
The “paw-paw fruit” power of Bartholomew Kuma may have been used by the Revolutionary Army to distribute Poneglyphs across the world in the Void Century. The ability to distribute Poneglyphs would be a significant superpower, and the power of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi is entirely suitable for that.
Toki Toki no Mi
Amatsuki Toki, a character from the Void Century, used the time-traveling abilities of this fruit to reach the present, searching for the Dawn of the World.
Bara Bara no Mi
Similar to the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, the “chop-chop fruit” of Buggy also has the ability to effectively distribute Poneglyphs, as it acts as a different medium for Lily’s Devil Fruit. Even when she is not present, the Bara Bara no Mi can certainly be used to separate different Poneglyphs and ensure they are widely distributed.
Ope Ope no Mi
Imu’s power may have connections to the Forbidden Techniques that can be executed by a user of Ope Ope no Mi in the Void Century.
Additionally, the hidden powers that Imu and the World Government are currently harnessing may also have roots from the Void Century, and Oda will continue to reveal these secrets in the future. Discovering the origins of Devil Fruits and their connections to the Void Century promises to bring about significant revelations in the quest for One Piece.
