Best Devil Fruits For Support In One Piece

Fights are often some of the best parts of One Piece. Not only are they exciting and dramatic, but they’re also incredibly fun and unpredictable due to the addition of Devil Fruits, which bestow whimsical powers that manifest in the most interesting ways. From controlling the elements to transforming the user’s body, they offer countless possibilities that are limited only by the imagination.

That being said, not every Devil Fruit is suited for direct combat, and many find much more value working behind the scenes. Whether it’s hindering enemies or buffing allies, there are plenty of Devil Fruits that provide support in one way or another. This topic will look at the best of these fruits and judge them based on their supportive abilities both in and out of combat.

Jacket-Jacket Fruit

A Unique Boost In Power

When compared to other Devil Fruits, the Jacket-Jacket Fruit seems quite underwhelming. Its power gives the user the ability to become a onesie that someone else can wear like a morph suit. The jacket man then gains the strength and abilities of the person wearing him. It’s basically a self-targeting buff that doubles the user’s power.

The clear downside is that only one person benefits from this power, and if neither participant is particularly strong, the boost doesn’t mean much, as seen with the Funk Brothers. Unlike some other Devil Fruit powers, turning into a jacket doesn’t have any inherent benefits outside some niche scenarios. It’s also incredibly reliant on who is wearing the jacket.

Warp-Warp Fruit

The Importance Of Good Positioning

One Piece is all about travel, so it makes sense that the Devil Fruit with the best travel ability would make it on this list. The Warp-Warp Fruit allows the user to instantaneously move from one place to another. The specifics of the power are unknown, but Van Augur was able to easily hop islands with a partner while still learning to use his abilities.

Given its lack of offensive capabilities, the Warp-Warp Fruit can offer support in the form of rapid movement and repositioning. Whether it’s moving civilians to a safe area or putting allies in position for the optimal strike, this fruit can do it all. It’s only limited by how fast the user can think and respond to what’s happening.

Heal-Heal Fruit

A Vital Support Ability

In many video games, support and healing are synonymous, and one of the best ways to support someone is to make sure they’re healthy. The Heal-Heal Fruit can do that and much more. With its power, the user can produce a special liquid that will return anyone to perfect health. Any cuts, bruises, illnesses, or diseases will be healed and cured immediately.

This healing is incredibly potent and comes with appropriate consequences. While these details are unknown, it’s stated that the user can only heal a limited number of times, and although inanimate objects can be reverted to their original state, it costs years of the user’s life to do so.

Book-Book Fruit

Communication And Coordination

• Current User: Charlotte Mont-d’Or

As its name implies, the Book-Book Fruit gives the user control over books, and despite the odd specificity of the power, it’s actually quite versatile. The user can manifest books at will, create illusions with books, trap people inside of books, and much more. The user could also just throw books at their enemies, but the benefits of this fruit are clearly in its utility.

With multiple ways to hinder or slow down enemies, this Devil Fruit is best used in conjunction with other people who can take advantage of the situation. It’s one of the best powers for crowd control. However, it does require a lot of teamwork and coordination, which not all crews have.

Bari-Bari Fruit

The Uses Of A Force Field

The Bari-Bari Fruit is probably the best defensive fruit in the series since it creates barriers that are basically indestructible, but its ability to protect is just the tip of the iceberg. Because the user can change the shape and placement of the barrier, it can be used for a variety of other things, like creating platforms, trapping enemies, or providing cover.

Unfortunately, to make the most out of this fruit, the user must have great stamina and concentration because the amount of barrier produced is directly related to those two factors. The barriers can’t exist on their own and require conscious effort to maintain. The deployment of the barriers also relies on the user’s perception, so their reaction speed must also be high.

Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix Fruit

The Magic Flames Of Revival

Zoan Devil Fruits typically don’t have any support capabilities other than empowering the user, but the phoenix model of the Bird-Bird Fruit is different. In One Piece, the phoenix takes the form of a mystical bird made of magic flames that can heal their wounds and injuries. Aside from the typical Zoan transformations, the user can also use these flames to heal and treat others.

These magic flames can also be used to block attacks, allowing the user to act as a shield for others without taking too much damage. Being a bird, the user has great mobility and can quickly reach their allies to administer aid. It’s the best form of combat medic for any crew.

7

Hollow-Hollow Fruit

A Spooky Surveillance System

When it comes to supportive powers, the Hollow-Hollow Fruit has a lot to offer. With the ability to summon and control ghosts, the user can incapacitate enemies by draining their willpower and confidence, leaving them unable to move. The user can also create simple illusions to confuse and startle opponents.

The most important aspect of this Devil Fruit is its ability to collect information. By sending out many small ghosts, the user can build their own surveillance network that’s able to listen to and watch multiple locations. The user can also astral project, gaining the ability to fly and be intangible by leaving their physical body behind, which is perfect for scouting but also very risky.

6

Glare-Glare Fruit

The Ability To See Everything

Information is some of the best support anyone can ask for, and the Glare-Glare Fruit can easily provide. This Devil Fruit greatly enhances the user’s eyes and vision, allowing them to see up to 4,000 kilometers in all directions. They also have X-ray vision and the ability to see someone’s thoughts and memories.

This Devil Fruit is great for scouts or lookouts as it makes them capable of seeing threats and dangers well before they get close. With the ability to see and share memories, it also provides the safest way to transfer information. The only problem is that mind-reading requires being close to the subject.

5

Mirror-Mirror Fruit

A Convenient Pocket Dimension

• Current User: Charlotte Brûlée

The Mirror-Mirror Fruit’s powers in One Piece are interesting. While they do the obvious, like reflect attacks, they also give the user access to the Mirror World, a separate dimension that displays all the mirrors in a given area. With this space, the user can do things like teleport from mirror to mirror, eavesdrop on conversations, and transfer troops and supplies.

The extra dimension provided by this Devil Fruit is a massive tactical advantage, allowing for covert takeovers and easy surprise attacks. It can also be used as a mobile base or a hiding spot. Although accessibility is limited by mirror placement, the range of this power is large enough for it not to matter.

4

Gas-Gas Fruit

The Best Use For Science

• Current User: Caesar Clown

In One Piece, the Gas-Gas Fruit has only ever been used to cause harm and destruction. Caesar Clown only used his Logia Devil Fruit to produce poisons and incapacitate enemies. While those things can be helpful in their own way, it’s possible that this fruit can be used to be more beneficial.

While on Zou, Caesar was able to create a neutralizing gas to cancel the effects of his poison, so it’s possible other healing or empowering properties could be assigned to the gas as well. With this Devil Fruit, it would be easy to treat or buff large groups of people. Of course, a certain amount of scientific or medical knowledge would be required to use this fruit to its full potential.
