I’ve determined to post this speculation concerning Possible Overpowered Devil Fruits in Wano that I’ve thought a long time ago.

Top 6 Possible Overpowered Devil Fruits In Wano

As you know, Wano country is motivated by Japan so it may be reasonable to hypothesize or speculate the likely Devil Fruit abilities that the samurai of Wano holds by understanding things about Japan. Including their history, mythology, traditions, and even things that are popular in Japan.

We’ve previously seen some of these Devil Fruit abilities with Kinemon, Kanjuro, and Raizo.

• Kinemon’s Devil Fruit powers to create costumes and disguises and his fire ability is motivated to be the mythical creature Kitsune. Kitsune is recognized for its ability to shapeshift & produce fire.
  
• Kanjuro’s Devil fruit powers are inspired by ink painting named Sumi-e which is very common in Japan and a big portion of their history.
  
• Raizo’s Devil fruit ability although still unknown is clearly inspired by a ninja. And by the way, Raizo is a samurai, it was stated that all fighters in Wano are deemed as a samurai.
  

So, I assume that what author Oda did was connect various elements of Japanese culture, including the motivations of samurai, to develop their abilities and combat techniques.

Now here’s my consideration about the possible Devil Fruits abilities that we may observe in Wano.

Possible Devil Fruit Abilities Of The Samurai Of Wano

Top 6 Possible Overpowered Devil Fruits In Wano

1. Onigami-Onigami no Mi

A Devil Fruit ability that manipulates, folds, and shapes paper would be inspired by Origami, the art of paper folding, which is well-known in Japan and deeply rooted in its history. With this ability, the user can create various shapes or figures from paper. They would also be able to forge a paper sword and harden it for use as a weapon.

2. Weasel-Weasel no Mi

A Zoan ability that allows the user to transform into a weasel would be inspired by the popular Yokai in Japanese tradition named Kamaitachi. Kamaitachi is traditionally thought to be a variant of Kamae Tachi. It is described as a weasel with arms like sickles or knives. Therefore, the user of this ability would wield a sickle or a sickle-like weapon.

3. Sculpture-Sculpture no Mi

A Devil Fruit that enables the user to animate sculptures they create would be deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, where sculpting is prevalent, especially in holy places. Animated sculptures or figures are common in anime and manga, making this power quite believable.

4. Yokai-Yokai no Mi

A Devil Fruit ability that allows the user to create Yokai would be a fitting inspiration. Given that we’ve seen Devil Fruit users who harness spirits and ghosts, this power could draw from the Japanese folklore “Night Parade of the Hundred Demons.” This parade, led by Nurarihyon, features 100 Yokai, making it an ideal basis for such an ability.

5. Zoan Devil Fruits from the Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya

Devil Fruit abilities that allow users to transform into a frog, snail, and snake would be inspired by the characters Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru from the Japanese legend “The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya.” In the myth, Jiraiya is a ninja who uses shapeshifting magic to transform into a giant frog.He fell in love with Tsunade, a pretty maiden who learned slug magic. His arch-enemy was his one time pupil Yashogoro later identified as Orochimaru. I know several you are close with these names, it was applied as a motivation to popular manga Naruto, I believe it would be great if Eiichiro Oda also accepts it too. Actually, I assume it’s likely that the Shogun, Kurozomi Orochi is motivated by Orochimaru and has a serpent Zoan Devil Fruit while Oden and his wife are encouraged by Jiraiya and Tsunade & have the Frog and Snail Zoan Devil Fruits.

6. Painting-Painting Devil Fruit

A Devil fruit ability that enables the user to change a painting into a physical scenery. Since painting is especially famous in Japan, having this sort of ability is also probable. Actually, I believe this ability was previously shown. As many of you saw, One of the views in One Piece manga chapter 910 is comparable to a painting named “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.” It is the profession of an artist called Katsushika Hokusai & that kind art is called Ukiyo-e or woodblock printing.

I honestly think that it is a Devil Fruit ability. So this Devil fruit ability is like Jora’s ability, capable of replacing any objects show into an art & will simply turn back if they required to.

There is a lot that can still be added in this speculation, so I’ll attempt to update it in the future but this is all for momentarily.
