Zoan Fruits are one of three types of Devil Fruits. This type of fruit allows the user to transform into a full-fledged animal species, a hybrid form of the animal, and their original form at will. Zoan-type Devil Fruits are particularly effective in close combat. This term was first used when Dalton used his power to attack Wapol. Due to their popularity and importance to the franchise, we've decided to rank the 15 most powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruits in One Piece.

15. Ryu Ryu no Mi, model: Allosaurus

Eaten by: X Drake

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, specifically an Elder Zoan. This fruit allows you to transform into an Allosaurus hybrid or a full Allosaurus. It was eaten by X Drake. Drake primarily uses it to be able to bite large opponents, such as a Pacifista. He can also use his tail to violently push someone away, as he does against Sanji. He can use Armament Haki in this form, having been able to injure and defeat Caribou in this form. He used his fruit to attack Scotch, in order to attract the attention of Kaido, whose favorite island Scotch was guarding.

14. Ryu Ryu no Mi, model: Pachycephalosaurus

Eaten by: Ulti

Ulti consumed the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a Pachycephalosaurus. With this fruit and his fighting style, Ulti can perform devastating headbutts. With this fruit, his already enormous physical strength is further increased, to the point where he can quickly grab Luffy and immobilize him even if the pirate is immensely strong.

The front of her skull has also been greatly enhanced, likely greatly increasing the power of her headbutts, though their potency remains to be seen. Ulti's subordinates consider her transformation excessive against most opponents, and she only uses it against opponents she takes seriously.

13. Neko Neko no Mi, model: Saber Tiger

Eaten by: Who's who

The Neko Neko no Mi, model: Saber Tiger is an ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit. This fruit allows you to transform into a hybrid or full-body saber-toothed tiger. It was eaten by Who's-Who. In his animal form, Who's-Who becomes gigantic and loses his long hair, and retains only his pants and horned helmet as clothing. In this form, he resembles a massive saber-toothed tiger with enormous canine teeth.

In his hybrid form, Who's Who is almost twice as tall as Jinbe, who stands at 301 cm (118 in) and retains a semi-human face. He stands on his two hind legs and his costume remains. His torso becomes more muscular and larger than in his human form. This fruit has no known weaknesses other than those common to all Devil Fruits.

12. I'm not afraid, model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli

Eaten by: Black Maria

The Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli is a prehistoric Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to fully and partially transform into Rosamygale grauvogeli, a spider from the Triassic period. It was eaten by Black Maria. Overall, Black Maria's ability is quite versatile by Zoan standards, from her ability to use nets to cover the battlefield in traps, to creating defensive barricades or trapping the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to attacks from her staff and knuckles, her poison-tipped legs, or the fire generated by Wanyudo.

This variety of abilities gives Black Maria several ways to control territory in her favor during a fight. While a skilled fighter, Black Maria prefers a passive and indirect approach during battle, staying in one place while setting traps and employing her subordinates to lure potential victims or incapacitate them after capture.

Black Maria also enjoys torturing those she manages to capture in her web, usually for simple sadistic pleasure. In direct combat scenarios, Black Maria uses her powers in combination with Wanyudo, her flaming polearm, to give herself the territorial advantage in close-quarters combat, for example by using spider webs to cling to the ceiling, then setting the ground on fire, thus setting your enemy at a mobility disadvantage.

11. Hebi Hebi no Mi, model: Yamata no Orochi

Eaten by: Kurozumi Orochi

The Hebi Hebi no Mi, model: Yamata no Orochi is a mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that grants the power to partially or fully transform into a Yamata-no-Orochi. The last user was Kurozumi Orochi, and with his death, the fruit is reborn somewhere. The fruit is pineapple-shaped and has a bright fuchsia color. There are light green stem leaves on top of the fruit with a round triangular shape at each end and scales around the fruit. The scales have the typical swirling patterns of Devil Fruits.

This fruit grants its user eight snake heads, each capable of speaking on its own. It appears that the user has some control over the number of heads that can sprout at once, with eight being the maximum. Interestingly, some features of Orochi's human form, such as his crown and mustache, are only present on one of the heads.

Likewise, the user can vary the size and length of said heads, which cannot be larger than a normal head or larger than a person and several meters long. In this form, the user can bite enemies with considerable force and reach, the latter due to the great length of the neck. The user also gains a small amount of endurance in their transformed state, as Orochi was able to take damage from a roof collapsing on their head with minimal damage, as well as survive thanks to a lightning bolt amplified by Zeus.

The fruit's multiple heads also allow the user to survive decapitation, even in human form, as it is limited by the number of heads. Orochi primarily uses this fruit in combat, though he has also been seen using it to intimidate people, as shown during his encounter with CP0 and when he confronted Komurasaki. Orochi has also been seen biting his subordinates. His ability allows him to survive decapitation up to seven times, and he has used this to his advantage to launch covert counterattacks against his unsuspecting enemies.

10. Zou Zou no Mi, model: Mammoth

Eaten by: Drought Jack

The Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth is an ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit first appearing on Zou, used by Jack the Drought. It allows its user to transform into a mammoth or a hybrid species at will. This fruit is described by Nekomamushi as an older version of the Zou Zou no Mi, a fruit that allows one to transform into an elephant. Jack has used this fruit to greatly increase his combat capabilities; he can cause massive destruction with a single attack, being able to destroy buildings with only his trunk and level almost everything in his path simply by walking. So far, his only shown attack is him swinging his trunk to inflict damage. He has massive tusks but has yet to use them in combat.

9. Inu Inu no Mi, model: Kyubi no Kitsune

Eaten by: Catarina Devon

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsun is a Zoan-type Mythical Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a dog, specifically a nine-tailed fox, the Kyubi. It was eaten by Catarina Devon. The hybrid form shows Devon with nine equally sized, large tails. She retains her human arms and her face takes on fox-like features.

The main strength of this Fruit is that it gives its user the ability to transform into the Kyubi, a mythological creature. It can transform into a different person well enough to fool that person's acquaintances. So far, this Fruit has no weaknesses other than those common to all Devil Fruits. However, it seems that Devon must first transform into a fox if she wants to regain her original appearance. Devon used this fruit to transform into Absalom and fool Gecko Moria.

8. Ryu Ryu no Mi, model: Brachiosaurus

Eaten by: Queen

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus is a prehistoric Zoan-type Devil Fruit that grants its user the power to fully or partially transform into a Brachiosaurus. Queen uses this fruit in combat, preparing to face Charlotte Linlin with her full transformation. He also takes advantage of the long neck he possesses in this form to catch his opponents from a distance.

As a cyborg, Queen is able to augment her Devil Fruit abilities through her technological implants, using both in conjunction to enhance her overall combat prowess. In her beast form, Queen possesses various weapons equipped in her mouth and upper torso, such as a machine gun, retractable needle-like fangs, a laser beam projector, and an extendable metal collar embedded in her neck that allows her to stretch further than normal, greatly increasing her reach.

In his Beast-Human form, Queen displays even more noticeable mechanical appendages, as his hair, tail, and left arm become mechanical tentacles with claws. Additionally, since he is now bipedal, he can wield one of his dao swords for combat. This form is considered particularly dangerous, as members of the Beast Pirates panicked and retreated upon seeing him transform into this form.

7. Momonosuke's Artificial Devil Fruit

Eaten by: Momosuke

Momonosuke consumed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit artificially created by Vegapunk. This fruit transformed him into a serpentine dragon with the ability to fly by clinging to clouds he himself created. However, since he only recently ate the fruit, he doesn't seem to have much control over it yet, as he didn't even know he could shapeshift until Luffy told him. Like natural Devil Fruits, Momonosuke is weak to water. When Momonosuke reached adulthood, his dragon transformation was identical to Kaido's in size and appearance, except for his skin color.

6. Ryu Ryu no Mi, model: Pteranodon

Eaten by: King

The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon is a prehistoric Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a Pteranodon. It was consumed by King. King uses this ability primarily for aerial combat (aside from the power of flight's general ability to move from one point to another). In his beast form, he is able to fly into objects with immense speed and force, damaging them considerably in the process.

As she flew towards the Queen Mama Chanter, her leg colliding with the ship (with a fiery kick in the anime) caused the massive ship, which was carrying many members of the Big Mom Pirates, to fall, including Big Mom herself, who had been taken from the ship. Later, King used his pickaxe to confuse Sanji, who was wearing the Raid Suit, challenging the suit's defenses to the point that King claimed it would split his enemy in half upon impact (something that didn't happen thanks to the suit's strength).

Additionally, King's head can also function as a weapon: by pulling on his crest, King can fire his head like an extremely fast and oversized bullet, which King believes is how pteranodons of the ancient past hunted their prey.

5. Inu Inu no Mi, model: Okuchi no Makami

Eaten by: Yamato

The Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami is a mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to partially or fully transform into a wolf deity. It was consumed by Yamato. The fruit-shaped fruit resembles a dark orange oval persimmon, with only a few of the characteristic spirals sprouting from the center, where pale brown greenery is found. The stem is orange.

The fruit allows its user to transform into an okuchi no makami, a beast-human form of Yamato, known in Wano Country as its guardian deity. In his full beast form, the user transforms into a large, whitish wolf with very light fur. Transformed into his beast-human form, Yamato gains large, whitish fur, as well as canine paws and much sharper teeth.

As a carnivorous Zoan, the fruit grants Yamato a vast increase in his physical abilities, allowing him to hold his own against Kaido. Like many mythical variants, the fruit grants its user special abilities, in this case being able to emit blasts of ice, which can rival a Seiryu's dragon breath. Weaknesses other than the standard ones are unknown.

Yamato uses the power of this fruit for combat. He has shown himself capable, in his beast-human form, of almost equally fighting his father Kaido while the latter was in his hybrid form, with Kaido praising his strength. In Yamato's hybrid form, he prefers to wield his kanabo as he does in human form (in the same manner as Kaido), thus enhancing his hand-to-hand combat prowess.

4. Tori Tori no Mi, model: Phoenix

Eaten by: Marco

The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix is ​​a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a phoenix at will. It was consumed by Marco. Marco uses the fruit in battle. In his full phoenix form, he can transform his feet into phoenix claws, which can be used to attack. During the Battle of Marineford, Marco demonstrated his aerial maneuverability by quickly traversing the battlefield and taking the attack's damage in place of Whitebeard.

Like other Zoan users, he can take on a beast-human hybrid form. However, Marco's control over his transformations appears to be the best of any Zoan user shown so far, as unlike most other Zoan users (Laffitte, Chopper, and Onigumo being perhaps the only known exceptions), Marco can transform selective parts of his body into the form of a phoenix without completely changing his appearance.

In his most common hybrid form, Marco transforms only his arms into phoenix wings (sometimes he chooses to keep his hands) so he can fly and attack with kicks. Marco also takes full advantage of the fruit's regenerative properties during combat and uses it often. He has even been seen recovering by using scattered flames and simultaneously transforming into his human form.

Despite the fact that it cannot be used as an offensive weapon, he can still summon the blue flames around him, in his human form (perhaps by partially transforming into his hybrid form or his full phoenix form), as seen when he filled his arm with blue flames while preparing to confront Akainu. As the flames can be used to heal others, he used them in his work as a doctor on Sphinx Island, as well as during the raid on Onigashima to treat victims of the ice oni virus.

3. Hito Hito no Mi, model: Daibutsu

Eaten by: Sengoku

The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that grants the power to transform into a gigantic golden Buddha statue at will. It was consumed by the former Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku. So far, Sengoku has been seen using this fruit primarily for combat purposes, enhancing the power of his fists, a power that was demonstrated when he made Luffy bleed and destroyed the execution platform.

Sengoku can fire shockwaves to inflict significant and widespread damage to a group of enemies, and is powerful enough to damage Blackbeard Pirates. In the anime, these shockwaves are shown to be powerful enough to collide with the waves created by Marshall D. Teach's Gura Gura no Mi.

When Sengoku first used the powers of this fruit, in an attempt to execute Luffy and Ace, a Marine pointed out that it was the first time he had seen Sengoku use his powers, suggesting that he rarely saw himself transform. At the moment of his transformation, all of Marineford was bathed in a blinding golden light, emphasizing the idea that Sengoku is an "enlightened one."

2. Uo Uo no Mi, model: Seiryu

Eaten by: Kaidou

The Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu is a Zoan-type Mythical Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform fully or partially into an Eastern Dragon, more precisely into an Azure Dragon (Seiryu). It was consumed by Kaidou. The fruit is somewhat pointy and composed of several pointed pieces similar to a dragon's scales, cyan in color with a darker interior where the spirals are located. It has orange greenery at its base and, unlike the rest of the Devil Fruits, it has a double purple stem.

Kaidou frequently uses this fruit in combat. Unlike most Zoan-type fruit users seen so far, he normally begins battles in his full transformation and reverts to his original form, as his base form seems more suited to close-quarters, one-on-one combat. When facing opponents in his full dragon form, Kaidou stands a considerable distance away from them in order to attack them with destructive elemental attacks launched from his mouth, usually using a fire blast. He has also been seen biting nearby opponents.

Outside of combat, Kaidou can create clouds, primarily using them as support points to take flight; in this way, he can easily travel between islands by crossing the open sea, as he did between Onigashima and the main island of Wano. He can also levitate objects, even giant ones, by creating enough clouds, as shown when he sent the entire island of Onigashima aloft to pursue his new Onigashima Project, lifting the island and directing it towards the flower capital of Wano Country.

1. Hito Hito no Mi, model: Nika

Eaten by: Monkey D. Luffy

The Gomu Gomu no Mi, originally known as Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, is a mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into the incarnation of the legendary "Sun God" Nika and thus obtain a body with the properties of rubber. Upon its renaming, it was also reclassified as a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that seemingly transformed its user into a rubbery human.

Originally a highly sought-after treasure of the World Government for 800 years until it was stolen by Shanks and his crew. It was accidentally consumed twelve years ago by Monkey D. Luffy. Awakening this Devil Fruit allows its user to inherit the title of "Joy Boy." The Gomu Gomu no Mi is a purple, spherical fruit with a stem growing from the top, with swirls in a curly "S" shape. In general, it resembles a Yubari melon.

During his youth, Luffy struggled to control his own abilities. Even though he had an idea of ​​how they would work, Luffy had trouble aiming and timing his attacks; his own techniques continually recoiled. However, he managed to counteract these weaknesses by training in a dangerous jungle, where he was able to control his abilities in his youth. Luffy's powers have been used in a variety of ways. These range from simply moving from one place to another (rather recklessly) to attacking an enemy with a barrage of swift and powerful blows.

He also developed various unique fighting techniques over time, acquiring new "forms" by manipulating his elastic body. The most important of these is his equipment, which allows him to temporarily increase his speed or strength in combat. After the time skip, Luffy learned to better control and harness his power, as well as combine it with Haki.
