Highlights

• Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant users the ability to transform into animals and human-beast hybrids, making them powerful in hand-to-hand combat.
• Some Zoan Devil Fruits, like the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf and Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus, have tremendous strength and recovery abilities.
• Unique Zoan Devil Fruits, such as the Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli and Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger, offer special abilities like producing strong webs and increased physical prowess.

Zoan-type Devil Fruits are one of the three types of Devil Fruits that exist in the One Piece world. Known to grant tremendous power, these fruits allow the user to transform themselves into an animal and a human-beast hybrid at will.

As such, these fruits are best suited for hand-to-hand combat, making them extremely useful. The Zoan class is extremely underrated and includes some of the strongest Devil Fruits to ever exist in the entire story. In a plethora of these beastly powers, only a handful can be classified to be among the strongest Zoan Devil Fruits.

Updated on January 11, 2024, by Rei Penber: Zoan-type Devil Fruits are some of the most common ones seen in One Piece and with the Wano Country arc recently demonstrating a plethora of these incredible powers, fans have seen some unique and also some overpowered abilities at the same time included by Oda in his story. At the same time, in the Final Saga, Devil Fruit awakenings of some other Zoans have been revealed, which have changed the perception of the fans on some of them. While this list already goes over the vast majority of Zoan Devil Fruits in One Piece, there are others that deserve to be added to the list. With that, this list has now been updated.

22 Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf

User: Jabra

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf was eaten by none other than Jabra of the CP9. Fans saw him being heavily involved in the war that the Straw Hat Pirates waged on the World Government to rescue Nico Robin. Jabra has an incredible Devil Fruit that allows him to turn into a wolf.

Given that this Devil Fruit is a carnivorous Zoan, Jabra becomes stronger when he is bloodlusted. This Devil Fruit boosts his recovery rate, along with strength, stamina, and endurance tremendously. After the timeskip, he has improved his control over this Devil Fruit remarkably and, given that Lucci and Kaku have managed to awaken their Devil Fruits, it is possible that he has managed to do the same. This remains unconfirmed, however. Regardless, this Devil Fruit is incredibly powerful and one that Sanji had to work quite hard to break through the defenses of.

21 Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus

User: Stronger

Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus was eaten by Stronger, the pet horse of Doc Q. As the name suggests, this Devil Fruit gives Stronger the ability to transform into a Pegasus at will. Being a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it also allows the user to transform into a Pegasus hybrid, however, since Stronger is a horse, to begin with, he doesn't undergo much of a change. Being a Mythical Zoan, this Devil Fruit grants Stronger great power and endurance, along with a boost to all the other physical stats.

Its greatest ability is the power of flight that it offers to him and, by extension, also to Doc Q. This Devil Fruit will also likely have a special power, just like all other Mythical Zoans, however, so far, fans have seen very little of it in combat against the Heart Pirates. As their fight gets more attention, fans will also get to see more of the Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus. Out of all the newly introduced Devil Fruits in the story, the Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus remains to be the most underwhelming one.

20 Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus

User: X Drake

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus was first introduced during the Sabaody Archipelago arc of the story through its user, X Drake, who is also a member of the Worst Generation. It wasn't named properly until the Wano Country arc.

This Devil Fruit allows Drake to turn himself into an Allosaurus and its hybrid at will. Being an Ancient Zoan, Drake's recovery rate is incredibly high, as is his strength and speed. In his hybrid form his was able to take down one of the Numbers of the Beasts Pirates in a single blow — a feat that Luffy used Gear Fourth to perform.

19 Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus

User: Ulti

Another Ryu Ryu no Mi Devil Fruit, the Ancient Zoan Pachycephalosaurus ability belongs to Ulti, one of the members of the Tobiroppo under Kaido. This power allows her to transform herself into a Pachycephalosaurus and its hybrid at will.

Just like a Pachycephalosaurus, Ulti makes great use of her head, and her strongest attacks see her headbutt her targets with great ferocity. At the same time, Ulti has more than impressive endurance, as seen when she took countless blows in Wano only to get back up almost every time.

18 Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli

User: Black Maria

The Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli was eaten by none other than Black Maria, another member of the mighty Tobiroppo of Kaido. This Devil Fruit gives her the ability to turn into a hybrid of the ancient spider named Rosamygale Grauvogeli. Black Maria's hybrid form is quite different from the rest as just the lower half of her body is turned into a spider. This is because she took a drug to stop it from affecting her entire body.

Nonetheless, it is quite a powerful ability that allows her to produce incredibly tough webs that nobody can break free out of. These webs are also flammable, giving her more options in battle. On top of everything, this Devil Fruit also gives her the ability to poison her enemies, making it one of the strongest Zoan Devil Fruits.

17 Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger

User: Who's Who

The Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger belongs to one of the strongest members of the Tobiroppo of the Beasts Pirates, Who's Who. This ability is quite powerful and it allows him to transform himself into a giant saber-toothed cat and a human-cat hybrid at will.

Being a carnivorous Ancient Zoan type, the physical boost that this Devil Fruit grants is immense, and when combined with the power of Haki and Rokushiki, it makes Who's Who quite capable in battle.

16 Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth

User: Jack

The Zou Zou no Mi is an incredibly powerful Zoan type Devil Fruit that was eaten by one of Kaido's three right-hand men, Jack the Drought. This Devil Fruit gives him the power to turn into a Mammoth at will and makes him extremely strong and resilient. Using its power, Jack was able to fight Inuarashi and Nekomamushi for days without tiring. Recently, he has tapped into its hybrid form, and it certainly gives him a massive boost in strength.

15 Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe

User: Kaku

The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe was eaten by none other than Kaku of CP0. Fans saw this Devil Fruit being eaten during the Enies Lobby arc when it was procured by Spandam through the connections he had within the World Government. This Devil Fruit gives Kaku the ability to turn into a giraffe at will. The true power of the giraffe can be brought out when he accesses the hybrid form. Kaku has learned to combine the powers of this Devil Fruit very well with his Rokushiki techniques. His signature technique is the Sky Slicer and, over the years, he has developed multiple forms of this ability.

He was recently seen making use of these powers on Egghead Island. There, it was also revealed to the fans that Kaku had awakened his Devil Fruit as well. In his awakened state, he becomes powerful enough to clash evenly with Roronoa Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is certainly one of the strongest Zoan Devil Fruit users, evident from the fact that he managed to awaken his fruit.

14 Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard

User: Rob Lucci

The Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard was eaten by Rob Lucci of the CP0. This Devil Fruit is a Carnivorous Zoan type, meaning that it makes Lucci stronger when he is thirsty for blood. This Devil Fruit lets him transform into a leopard at will. However, Lucci hardly ever transforms into a leopard. His go-to form in this devil fruit is that of a human and leopard hybrid. When used together with his Rokushiki techniques and Seimei Kikan, Lucci can take the powers of his hybrid form to the next level. Given that Lucci was a genius, it is no surprise to see that he has awakened his powers, as was revealed during the Egghead Island arc of One Piece.

In his awakened state, he was able to find against Gear 5 Luffy, however, it must be noted that Luffy was absolutely toying with him and defeated him within a matter of seconds. That said, Lucci's awakening makes his Zoan Devil Fruit one of the strongest seen in the series within the Zoan class. There is certainly more he is capable of that the fans have not seen just yet, and with time, they will get to see what he's truly capable of when going all-out.

13 Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus

User: Queen

Eaten by another one of Kaido's three right-hand men, Queen the Plague, the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus grants the power to turn into a Brachiosaurus and its hybrid at will. This Devil Fruit offers incredible resilience, as seen when Queen was able to tank attacks from Big Mom.

Furthermore, the offensive power that it grants is equally impressive. Queen was able to do some damage to Big Mom using his Brachio Bomber and even hold his own against Marco the Phoenix for quite a long time.

12 Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon

User: King

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon belongs to Kaido's strongest right-hand man, King the Wildfire. This Devil Fruit is incredibly rare, being one of the very few to grant the powers of flight. The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon grants great speed and power.

King was able to knock down the Queen Mama Chanter using its power. What's more, he could also fight Marco the Phoenix for some time, thanks to this fruit.

11 Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune

User: Catarina Devon

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, making it even rarer than the Logias in the One Piece world. Although its true powers haven't been seen yet, it goes without saying that it offers a tremendous upgrade.

Along with the standard physical boost that comes with this Devil Fruit, it also lets the user take the appearance of other people, as seen when its current user, Catarina Devon, took Absalom's appearance after killing him. In the future, its true powers will be explored further.

10 Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi

User: Kurozomi Orochi

The Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi was eaten by none other than Kurozumi Orochi, the Shogun of Wano. Although Orochi is quite a weak character, this Devil Fruit is anything but weak. As a Mythical Zoan, it offers the user to ability to become an eight-headed serpent and its hybrid at will.

What's more, the user gains eight lives instead of one, making it incredibly useful. While Orochi's usage of this Devil Fruit is very poor, with someone stronger, it could become one of the strongest fruits out there.

9 Momonosuke's Artificial Devil Fruit

User: Momonosuke

Momonosuke ate the Artificial Devil Fruit that Vegapunk created on Punk Hazard which gave him the powers to turn into a dragon at will. Although the fruit was deemed a failure, it doesn't have any showings of one as it mimics Kaido's powers perfectly.

After turning into an adult, Momonosuke can use its powers far better than before. While it hasn't been seen in combat yet, being a replica of Kaido's power makes it extremely powerful.

8 Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu

User: Sengoku

One of the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu was eaten by Sengoku, the former Fleet Admiral of the Marines. This fruit gave him the power to turn into a giant Buddha at will.

The most fearsome power of this fruit is its ability to emit shockwaves, which makes it unique. On Marineford, Sengoku was able to take on the Blackbeard Pirates with its powers with little trouble. The full extent of its abilities hasn't been shown to the fans just yet, however, it's certainly one of the strongest fruits in existence.

7 Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami

User: Yamato

Eaten by Kaido's son, Yamato, this Devil Fruit allows him to transform into a mythological wolf deity known as Okuchi no Makami. Its powers are certainly great as, according to Kaido, it is a very special fruit that he had to go to great lengths to acquire.

This Devil Fruit gave Yamato the power to put up a fight against Kaido in his hybrid form, which is rather impressive. Furthermore, it also grants the ability to use glacial attacks, such as Namuji Hyoga.

6 Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix

User: Marco

The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix is one of the most powerful Zoans in the story and it was eaten by the former First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco. This Devil Fruit grants the incredible power to turn into a Phoenix and heal from any damage taken in battle.

Using the Blue Flames of Resurrection, Marco is almost invincible in battle and he can also heal those around him, however, the effects of this power are limited on others. It gave Marco the power to hold his own against all Three Admirals in battle, and on Onigashima, he took on both King and Queen at once.

5 Saturn's Devil Fruit

A Mysterious Dark Power

St Jaygarcia Saturn is one of the five elders in One Piece and certainly a powerful fighter. Fans assumed him to be just a political figure within the World Government until recently, however, it has now been confirmed that Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is actually quite strong. He is heavily involved in the events of the Egghead Island arc and there, he finally revealed his devil fruit to the fans.

It has not been confirmed that Saint Jaygarcia Saturn has a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. What exactly the classification of this Devil Fruit is remains to be seen. However, it is highly likely going to be a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. This Devil Fruit might be the Ushi Oni fruit which gives him the lower half of a spider and the upper half of an ox. This Devil Fruit is incredibly overpowered and fans already saw it in action on Egghead Island when he confronted the likes of Straw Hat Pirates and Bonney in combat. Saturn has the ability to injure someone just by looking at them. He can also hold down people with some mysterious powers and, of course, he has an incredibly fast recovery factor. Undoubtedly, Saturn's Devil Fruit is remarkably powerful. At the same time, it also appears that Saturn's Devil Fruit is awakened already and that makes it even more dangerous.

4 Five Elders Devil Fruits

Mysterious Devil Fruits Of The Warrior Gods

Just like Saturn, the remaining members of the Five Elders are also powerful fighters and, along with him, they also possess incredible Devil Fruit powers. Again, fans do not know what exactly the classification of the Devil Fruits they have is, however, they are most likely going to be Mythical Zoans. They are all incredible power wielders and given that they have the smoke clouds around their neck, it is highly likely that they are all awakened Zoan users as well. Unfortunately, fans have not seen these abilities being disclosed just yet.

However, fans do know for sure that these are powerful Zoan fruits that will, sooner or later, be revealed by Oda. Given how strong Saturn is, fans can expect them to be around a similar level and, just like his Devil Fruit, they are likely to be based on Japanese mythology. Given the importance of the Five Elders and the fact that they are among the final villains of the story, one can assume their Zoan type Devil Fruits to be among the strongest.

3 Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

User: Kaido

The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is quite easily the strongest Zoan Devil Fruit, in terms of raw power, in the story so far. It was eaten by none other than Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, following the major battle on God Valley, 38 years ago. This Devil Fruit grants him the ability to turn into an eastern dragon and its hybrid at will.

It also gives Kaido an incredibly thick skin that only few can penetrate. The magnificent powers of this fruit have made him a menace and it goes down as the strongest in the story without much contest.
