The 10 Best Defensive Devil Fruits in One Piece

The 10 Best Defensive Devil Fruits in One Piece

Devil Fruits are one of the main systems of power in One Piece and are generally divided into three categories.

One Piece Three-way Split of Defensive Devil Fruit Users

Paramecia types offer a wide range of superhuman abilities, Logia types generally grant elemental powers, and Zoan Devil Fruits allow their users to transform into a type of animal or mythical creature. Most Devil Fruits have offensive capabilities, but some possess exceptional defensive attributes.

Most of the best defensive Devil Fruits in One Piece belong to the Paramecia class, but there is at least one Zoan that also offers significant protection. Some of these Devil Fruits are immune to certain types of attacks and damage, and some defensive Devil Fruits can even produce deadly counterattacks.

10. The Clown Fruit – Immunity to Slashing Attacks

First Appearance: Episode 5, "Fear, Mysterious Power! Pirate Clown Captain Buggy!"

  • User: Buggy the Clown
  • Main Technique: Chop-Chop Cannon
  • Debut Arc: Orange Town Arc

The Clown Fruit (Chop-Chop Fruit) is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants its user the ability to split their body into pieces. These parts can be controlled at will, and under the right conditions, the user can perform sneak attacks. A major defensive feature of this fruit is that the user's body is permanently immune to slashing and piercing attacks, making them invulnerable to sword-wielders like Zoro and even Dracule Mihawk, the world’s greatest swordsman.

9. The Turtle Fruit – A Protective Shell

First Appearance: Episode 572, "Grim Prospects – A Trap Awaiting In The New World"

  • User: Pekoms
  • Main Technique: Unknown
  • Debut Arc: Fish-Man Island Arc

The Turtle Fruit (Turtle-Turtle Fruit) is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a turtle, granting them a shell as tough as diamond. This shell is nearly impenetrable, withstanding bullets and debris from collapsing buildings. Although it slows down the user’s movements and damages their clothing, the defensive exchange is well worth it.
