After 17 years, a piece unveiled the 3 strongest legendary John Fruits

The legendary Zoan Devil Fruits were first introduced in a piece Chapter 553 in the Paramount Battle Arc a piece On August 19, 2009. The first of the lot submitted was Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, piloted by Marco, the First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Since then, 17 years have passed, and finally, One Piece has introduced a plethora of incredibly superpowered legendary Zoans.

At the climax of the Elbaf arc, specifically chapters 1179 and 1182, Eiichiro Oda has aligned two of the most powerful legendary Joans. Along with Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which was revealed in Wano on March 28, 2022, One Piece now has its own trinity of super-powerful legendary Zoan Devil Fruits that reign supreme.

One Piece Chapters 1179 and 1182 Introduction Akuma no Mi and Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zaza — Two Strong Legendary Zoans in Elbaf

Devil Fruit's legendary Joan Class has been on the receiving end of a lot of attention from One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda, and that's something we all love to see. Mythical zones provide Oda with a lot of creativity, and it is clear that the author likes to experiment with various mythical creatures from different mythologies around the world and incorporate them into one piece. In One Piece chapter 1179, which officially dropped on April 6, 2026 in Shuisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump issue #19, Eiichiro Oda officially introduced one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in existence in One Piece – Akuma no Mi. This devil fruit is powered by Nerona Emu, and it allows him to transform into the devil of the world. While this ability does not fit into the Logia or Paramecia categories and allows it to take the transformation of a mythical being, it certainly fits into the mythical Joan category of Devil Fruits.

Akuma no Mi is incredibly strong, as it allows Nerona Emu to turn into a devil. This allows him to use a unique power called God's Dominion, which grants various abilities through contracts. Using the power of God's Dominion, Emu can turn anyone with advanced powers into a demon's slave through techniques such as Domi Reversi. Emu has also shown us the ability to enter into various pacts with his underlings and bestow powers through pacts such as infinite reincarnation, immortality, as well as supernatural power.

“The omen is my military power. The power that dwells in all living creatures.” – Nerona Emu, One Piece Chapter #1181

Above all, Imu's Akuma no Mi allows her to use the power of Omen or Maki. As described by Emu, Omen is his military power and one of the most lethal abilities in the world. It presents itself as black fire and can be molded into various weapons such as bullets, bombs and swords. These black flames are incredibly strong and can destroy anyone with one or two hits, as was clearly shown in One Piece Chapter 1180, which was officially released on April 20, 2026 in Weekly Shōnen Jump Issue #21.

One Piece Chapter 1182 also revealed another Legendary Joan Devil Fruit, and it was none other than Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zaza. This is very similar to the power that Luffy wields, only in this case, the divine being is not Nika but Zaza. Zaza is the rain god, invoked by prayers for rain, as confirmed by Saint Killingham in One Piece chapter 1182, which was officially released on May 10, 2026 in Shuisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump issue #24.

“Appearing to the rhythm of a prayer for rain… Rain Lord Jaja!” – St. Killingham, A Fragment Chapter 1182

The Zaza Devil Fall allows the user to transform into a divine entity that can bring down heavy rains and cause massive floods. In a way, it allows the user to manipulate water and gives them a body made of rainwater. This means that this Devil Fruit power can essentially cancel out the Devil Fruit abilities of all others present in the One Piece world, making it a top-tier ability on its own. This means it is one of the most powerful legendary zones in the entire series.

“We were born so high up, it's above all the rain clouds. Raining from the sky? It's a mysterious terror! After Dee and Nika's people, it was the most common boogeyman they warned us… that in the lower world, there's a monster called the Rain God who throws rain on your head!” — St. Killingham in One Piece Chapter #1182 Explaining the Terrifying Power of the Rain God Jaza

One Piece Chapter 1044 Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi Model: Introduction to Nika

With the revelations of Nerona Emu's Akuma no Mi and Hito Hito no Mi Model: Zaza in chapters 1179 and 1182 respectively, One Piece has two incredibly strong legendary Joans lined up in the Elbaf arc. When paired with Monkey D. Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi Model: Nika, which was officially revealed in One Piece Chapter 1044 on March 28, 2022, in Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #17, the trinity of the strongest legendary Zoans is officially created.

Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi Model: Nika allows him to transform into Sun God Nika, who fights with immense freedom in any way he wants. He brings laughter and joy wherever he goes and on top of that, frees slaves from their chains, making him a warrior of liberation. He can make anything he imagines come true and is bound only by his own imagination in battle, making him a fearsome warrior. Beside Satan a piece The world, namely, Nerona Emu, as well as the Rain God, is easily one of the most powerful mythical Joan Fruits in existence.

“Having a body with the power of rubber, and fighting in any way possible, bringing smiles to people's faces, a warrior of liberation…also known as the Sun God, Nika!” – Gorosei in One Piece Chapter 1044

Eiichiro Oda is setting two more legendary legendary zones after Elbaf

The Elbaf arc of One Piece already introduced us to the very powerful legendary Joan Devil Fruits. In addition to Nerona Imu's Akuma no Mi and Rain God Zaza Fruit, there is also Loki's Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr, an ability capable of destroying worlds and a form of god power in itself, previously used by the War God Elbaf. At the same time, there's also Risu Risu no Me, Model: Ratoscar to consider, which gives the legendary squirrel the power to permanently freeze anything he wants. These two abilities certainly add a lot to One Piece's already expanding Legendary Joan category, but there are more abilities to come in the coming months.

While One Piece Chapter 1182 confirmed to us the existence of Rain God Zaza, we now know for a fact that all the other gods mentioned in Chapter 287, such as the Forest God and the Earth God, also exist in One Piece's world. Following Elbaf, One Piece is set to reveal two more gods according to chapters 1182 and 287, and it's definitely exciting for all of us fans. We can't wait to see what Eiichiro Oda does with the concept of the legendary Zoans moving into the meat of the final saga.

All chapters of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece are available to read through Manga Plus and Viz Media.
