Between the three Devil Fruit types in the One Piece universe, Logia are canonically the rarest and, arguably, the most powerful. Able to transform into elemental humans, Logia users are only susceptible to attacks powered by Busoshoku Haki and can rely on their abilities to either dodge or counter attacks. With control and creation of their element in their arsenal, Logia users reign as some of the most commanding combatants in all of One Piece.
But while, individually, these Fruits hold significant advantages, analyzing them alongside each other exposes the power discrepancies between them. Looking at elemental hierarchies, Fruits that counter one another, and Devil Fruits with seemingly no weaknesses at all, it begs the question: which Logia Devil Fruit is the worst, and which is the best?
11 Numa Numa no Mi
Utilizing swamp control, Caribou’s Devil Fruit is unique in that its less of a conventional element. While great for entrapment, this very notion is also one of the Fruit’s prime weaknesses, as Caribou was unable to transform out of his Swamp-Human form when placed in an enclosed container.
Other weaknesses for this Fruit include the ability for water manipulators to control it, and subsequently Caribou to an extent. Not to mention, it has shown very little offensive capabilities other than through trapping. This Fruit’s many weaknesses and few advantages ultimately place it at the bottom.
10 Moku Moku no Mi
Ignoring Smoker’s proficiency with his Fruit, the Moku Moku no Mi’s main selling point is its ability to make the user intangible — something that most Logia-type users can also do. While Smoker has optimized his smoke to trap opponents, there are ways to easily escape from his smoke.
What’s more, in terms of elemental compatibility, Smoker has been cancelled out by fire (resulting in stalemates against Ace, and later on Sabo), and has yet to show any advantages over other elements. As such, it does not stand out amongst the Logia Devil Fruits, despite Smoker’s expertise in it.
9 Yuki Yuki no Mi
Between the two Devil Fruits of similar coldness affinity, Monet’s is inferior due to her clearer weakness to heat and inability to freeze targets. Rather, the Fruit’s main capabilities are in weather manipulation and using this for stealth — when remembering that Nami, a non-Devil Fruit user, can also manipulate weather without a Fruit, it lessens Monet’s impressiveness.
Considering Monet’s weaker proficiency in her abilities as well, perhaps due to less battle experience, this Fruit pales compared to the rest. However, her ability to render people unconscious by lowering their body heat is arguably quite effective, but is still not as overpowered as other Logia abilities.
8 Gasu Gasu no Mi
When comparing the two gas-based Logia Fruits, the Gasu Gasu no Mi tops due to its added poison bonus. Caesar Clown, who mass-produced many artificial Devil Fruits, can use his abilities to create explosions, manipulate other gases, and enter smaller spaces others wouldn’t be able to.
Nonetheless, the Fruit’s abilities are subject to flammability, making it lesser compared to the fire-based Devil Fruits who can use this against him. Additionally, Caesar’s abilities have limitations, in terms of affected area, need for concentration, and reliance on external resources.
7 Suna Suna no Mi
Although the Suna Suna no Mi has its strengths, it loses points for how it can be overcome by water or liquid. While, of course, water is a weakness to all Devil Fruit users, it is especially detrimental to Crocodile, who loses control over solidified sand from wetness.
It should be noted, however, that this Devil Fruit’s ability to dehydrate is a standout amidst the Logia-types, and a great way for Crocodile to counteract his biggest weakness. Not to mention the Fruit is quite versatile in how it can be used, optimizing sandstorms and quicksand traps in and out of combat.
6 Mera Mera no Mi
A Devil Fruit shared between two brothers, both popular amongst fans, the Mera Mera no Mi is a Fruit that neutralizes and counters many Logia Fruits with fire, taking no effect from smoke or ice. The Fruit itself grants the user cataclysmic flame-based attacks, ones that optimize size and speed, while also fuelling physical attacks.
Because of the Fruit’s inferiority to magma, it ranks lower on this list. While being able to withstand many other elements, its inability to withstand magma, while other Logia users have been able to, deter it from being considered more powerful.
5 Hie Hie no Mi
Where other Logia users rely on their abilities to avoid attacks, Kuzan (formerly Admiral Aokiji) relies on the Hie Hie no Mi to take them. As a solid element, Kuzan uses physical touch to freeze opponents, and can reach further ranges by using solid-ice projectiles and weapons.
The ice, however, is not absolute, and can be destroyed. And while it is superior to the Yuki Yuki no Mi, it does not have elemental advantages over any other, facing a degree of neutralization from the heat-based users. The exact degree of its effectiveness against magma is unclear, as it has shown to both be subject to melting but also able to withstand 10-day straight combat.
4 Goro Goro no Mi
Once thought to be invincible, Enel’s Devil Fruit boasts considerably tremendous abilities, granting the user mastery over lightning, with a maximum voltage output close to a natural lightning bolt. On top of producing strong lightning-based attacks, Enel can manipulate solid matter, use electrical sound waves to sense his surroundings, increase his speed, jump-start his heart, and electrocute opponents.
While inferior to the strongest Fruits because of its weakness to rubber, in truth this weakness is, quite frankly very specific. Undeniably an ace against him, in any other situation where Enel faces an opponent who isn’t Luffy (the captain of one of the strongest pirate crews) or covered in rubber, this Fruit would devastate. But ultimately, its non-Logia weakness cannot be ignored.
3 Pika Pika no Mi
Kizaru’s Devil Fruit is one that has shown very few weaknesses. As a Light Human, Kizaru can use light beams to bypass attacks and travel large distances with light, reflecting himself to any location. Mixing his Devil Fruit skills with his battle prowess is doubtlessly a lethal combination, proven by the numerous victories he’s amassed over the series.
The light element reigns over the others lower on this list in that it contains no clear type-disadvantage from them. The Fruit’s only weakness is in the fact that light is swallowed by darkness. Therefore, any confrontation with the Yami Yami no Mi would prove fatal, and would force Kizaru to rely on strategic combat and less on his Devil Fruit.
2 Magu Magu no Mi
As a Devil Fruit that has shown no clear weakness, the Magu Magu no Mi is perhaps one of the strongest. It has left half an island’s weather pattern completely changed from a 10-day battle, and has the ability to dominate and/or counter every element it faces.
Whether the Fruit itself or Admiral Akainu’s own strength, he has shown elemental resistances to attacks even with Busoshoku Haki. Plus, any weaknesses that have been exposed for this Devil Fruit have been non-canonical, having not appeared in the manga or anime.
1 Yami Yami no Mi
Topping this list is the Yami Yami no Mi, a Devil Fruit with the ability to nullify every other Logia (or any other Devil Fruit) user with black holes. Fittingly wielded by Blackbeard, a pirate hellbent on domination, the Fruit’s elemental abilities rely on consuming others in it and rendering them powerless. In addition, Blackbeard can expel power that he consumes, which can be easily achieved after using the darkness to gravitate people towards him.
What makes this the greatest Logia Devil Fruit is simply in its lack of elemental weaknesses, and its overall ability to counter any of the Logia Fruits on this list. Taking into consideration that Blackbeard is already an overpowered combatant (with another Devil Fruit to use), there’s no denying that the Emperor has very few openings thanks to this Devil Fruit.
