Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers from the One Piece anime’s Elbaph arc.
The
Elbaph arc is introducing some fascinating Devil Fruit abilities that make the
God's Knights even more dangerous. Unlike many traditional powers that focus
primarily on physical strength or elemental attacks, these abilities can
control movement, create invisible traps, and even turn dreams into reality.
Here
are three of the most interesting Devil Fruits recently highlighted in the One
Piece anime.
1. Aro
Aro no Mi — Gunko’s Arrow-Arrow Fruit
The Aro
Aro no Mi, also known as the Arrow-Arrow Fruit, belongs to Gunko, a member of
the God's Knights.
This
Paramecia-type Devil Fruit allows Gunko to create and control arrow-shaped
strips that can manipulate the movement and direction of objects or people. She
can use them to restrain opponents, redirect attacks, and make her combat
techniques more unpredictable.
One of
its most dangerous features is its versatility. Rather than relying on
straightforward attacks, Gunko can use her arrows to control the battlefield
and force her opponents into difficult situations.
The
anime gives this ability particular attention in Episode 1176, where Gunko
confronts the Straw Hat Pirates.
2. Iba
Iba no Mi — Sommers’ Thorn-Thorn Fruit
The Iba
Iba no Mi is the Devil Fruit eaten by Saint Shepherd Sommers, another member of
the God's Knights.
Its
most frightening ability is the creation of invisible thorns. Sommers uses
these thorns to make approaching protected targets extremely dangerous, turning
what might appear to be a simple rescue mission into a deadly trap.
This
power is especially cruel when used against the children of Elbaph. Anyone
attempting to reach them risks being injured by thorns that are difficult to
see.
The
Iba Iba no Mi demonstrates that a Devil Fruit does not need massive explosions
or destructive energy to be dangerous. A well-placed defensive ability can
control an entire situation by limiting what other characters are able to do.
3. Ryu
Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin — Killingham’s Mythical Zoan
The Ryu
Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit possessed by Saint
Rimoshifu Killingham.
It
allows Killingham to transform into a mythical kirin, a legendary creature
associated with East Asian mythology. However, its abilities extend far beyond
physical transformation.
Killingham
can make people fall asleep and bring elements of their dreams into the real
world. This becomes particularly dangerous when their nightmares take physical
form as enormous monsters.
The
power creates a frightening combination of psychological manipulation and
physical destruction. Instead of simply fighting an enemy, Killingham can turn
that enemy’s own imagination into a potential threat.
This
makes his Devil Fruit one of the most unusual abilities featured in the Elbaph
arc.
Which
Devil Fruit Is the Most Dangerous?
Each
fruit offers a different kind of advantage. Gunko’s Aro Aro no Mi excels at
controlling movement and directing attacks. Sommers’ Iba Iba no Mi can create
dangerous defensive barriers that make approaching a target difficult.
Meanwhile, Killingham’s Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, can transform dreams into
real threats.
If
versatility is the main consideration, Gunko’s fruit is particularly
impressive. However, Killingham’s ability to bring nightmares into reality may
have the greatest potential for widespread chaos.
Final
Thoughts
The
newest Devil Fruit abilities highlighted in the Elbaph arc show how creative
Eiichiro Oda can be when designing powers for One Piece. These fruits
are not simply weapons; they change how characters move, fight, and respond to
danger.
As the
story progresses, their full limits and possible weaknesses may become clearer.
For now, the powers of Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham have made the God's
Knights some of the most intriguing opponents in the current arc.
