Summary
Devil Fruits are the main and most recognizable aspect of the entireOne Piecepower system. These special fruits are easily identifiable due to their whacky appearance and are characterized by their signature ability of giving people special powers or properties once they are eaten. The sheer number of Devil Fruits introduced in the series is astonishing, with each one being characterized as either a Logia, Zoan, or Paramecia type.
The latter is the most common of all the Devil Fruits found on the Grand Line, due to which the abilities that they give are the most varied and diverse. Throughout the runtime ofOne Piece, many differentParamecia type Devil Fruitshave been introduced and the abilities that they gift to their innumerable users vary from incredibly weak to astronomically powerful. So, let’s break down what Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are.
What Are Paramecia Type Devil Fruits?
First Appearance
One Piece, Episode 1, “I’m Luffy! The Man Who Will Become the Pirate King!”
Notable Users
Luffy, Nico Robin, Buggy, Doflamingo, Brook, Kuma, Blackbeard
The very first Devil Fruit introduced in the entire series, Luffy’s own Gomu Gomu no Mi, was a Paramecia type. Whereas Zoan types give the ability to transform into an animal or animal-human hybrid and Logia types give the power of a natural element, Paramecia types are broadly defined as those Devil Fruits that give the user an ability that doesn’t fall under the banner of the other two.
Every Devil Fruit is a possibility for human evolution that someone desired!
The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a perfect example of this, as it gives Luffy the ability to stretch by becoming a rubber human, something that doesn’t fall into the other 2 Devil Fruit categories. Due to this, Paramecia types are the most common kinds of Devil Fruits found throughout the world and, subsequently, are also the most diverse in terms of the abilities they give to the users. Each Devil Fruit comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses and though some have abilities that are similar to others, all Fruits are unique.
Paramecia Types Categories
While Paramecia type Devil Fruits are one of the 3 groups of Devil Fruits, they themselves have 3 sub-categories that are differentiated by how they affect the user. Since they’re the most common kinds of Devil Fruits out there, the abilities they give are also just as varied, so let’s take a look at the different kinds of powers granted by the Paramecia type Devil Fruits.
Body Alteration:
Some Paramecia type Devil Fruits give their users the ability to alter their bodies, or parts of them, in accordance with the ability given to them by the Fruit. An example of this kind of Devil Fruit isLuffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi, which turns Luffy into a rubber human, letting him stretch his body as much as he wants. Some body-altering fruits, such as this one, permanently alter the body composition of their user without needing to be activated with a mental command, which is why Luffy is in the rubber human state at all times.
Environmental Manipulation:
These are very strong Devil Fruits, as they give the users abilities that can have a startling effect on the surrounding environment. Whether it’s used on living things or inanimate objects, these kinds of Paramecia types are incredibly powerful as they can leave quite a destructive impact on the environment or even create their own, as is the case withTrafalgar D. Water Law’s Ope Ope no Mi. Much like Paramecia types in general, these fruits are wide-spanning and quite broad in their definition, only that they have some sort of effect on the environment.
Substance Manipulation:
Much like the Logia Devil Fruits, some Paramecia types give users the ability to use and manipulate different substances. However, unlike Logia types, these substances are not natural elements and the users of these fruits cannot transform themselves into their substancelike Logia users can, with the biggest difference being that these Paramecia types control substances that are manmade or just don’t naturally occur. Some of these Paramecia types can not only conjure substances but also many powerful avatars to fight for their users.
Notable Paramecia Type Devil Fruits
Due to how common and important Paramecia types are to the overallOne Piecestory, there have been many introduced in the series. However, only a few have truly stuck as being some of the strongest fruits, with their users being among some of the most powerful characters on the Grand Line. So, let’s take a look at the most important Paramecia type Devil Fruits inOne Piece.
These Devil Fruits users are always so dependent on their special abilities.
