8 Devil Fruits That Rival Ace & Sabo's Mera Mera no Mi

Devil Fruit abilities play a significant role in determining a character's strength One piece. While not the only determining factor, having good fruit undeniably puts a character ahead of others. Ace and Sabo's Mera Mera no Mi is a prime example of this.

Mera Mera no Mi, also known as the Flame-Flame Fruit, allows its eater to conjure and turn their entire body into fire. Not only does it provide an explosive attack ability, it also makes the user invulnerable to non-Haki physical attacks. Few Devil Fruit abilities can rival it in terms of power and versatility.

Hie Hie no Mi or Ice-Ice Fruit

When it comes to competing with Mera Mera no Mi, Kuzan's Hie Hie no Mi is one of the first abilities that comes to mind. Like its fiery counterpart, it is a Logia-type devil fruit that allows its user to create, control, and transform into a natural element. Only this time it's ice instead of fire. This parallel alone makes the two abilities natural opposites on the battlefield.

However, Ice-Ice Fruit probably has a better deal, especially in a world made up mostly of water. Kuzan has shown the fruit's power on many occasions, but the most memorable is certainly when he froze Whitebeard's tsunami at Marineford.

Yuki Yuki no Mi or Snow Fruit

One Piece Monet

Another natural rival of Mera Mera no Mi is Yuki Yuki no Mi, which was consumed by Monet. It's another Logia, though this one gives the eaters power over the snow. Monet used it in Punk Hazard to create layers upon layers of snow strong enough to hold back even Zoro's powerful blows.

Although Monet did not display as strong offensive power as Aokiji, it can be argued that the difference lies between the users and not the fruit itself. After all, Moneta's strength lies in her knowledge and not her fighting skills.

Gasu Gasu no Mi or Gas-Gas Fruit

Gasu Gasu no Mi is undoubtedly a powerful devil fruit. Granting whoever ate it the power to manipulate gas, including oxygen, is incredibly difficult to counter. It also allows the user to conjure a highly poisonous gas as well as transform into a substance.

However, he is not omnipotent. It has a number of weaknesses. First, the user has control over only a limited range. Another is the fact that the poison gas that Caesar summons is highly flammable, giving Mera Mera no Mi a huge advantage over him.

Pika Pika no Mi or Light-Light Fruit

While Mera Mera no Mi focuses more on destructibility, Pika Pika no Mi focuses more on speed. Its user can move at the speed of light and unleash laser attacks capable of destroying targets in an instant. Being a Logia, there is also the typical invulnerability to attacks without being part of Haki.

Since there is no direct comparison between the two Devil Fruits, it is difficult to determine which one is better. In the end, it may just boil down to preference.

Suna Suna no Mi or Sand-Sand Fruit

Based on the real world, Suna Suna no Mi is a clear rival to Mera Mera no Mi. Sand is a common material used to extinguish fires. In the world One pieceSand and Sand Fruits are in no way inferior to Flame Fruits. The former is as defensive and destructive as the latter.

The fruit eaten by Crocodile grants the user the ability to create, manipulate and transform into sand. Additionally, it also allows them to absorb any moisture from anything and anyone. The crocodile used the fruit's power to create massive sandstorms as well as turn Luffy into a withered husk.

Yami Yami no Mi or dark dark fruit

Yami Yami no Mi is one of the most dangerous Devil Fruits in existence. While categorically a Logia, it does not grant its user invulnerability to physical attacks. On the contrary, it amplifies the damage done by the user and makes them defensively inferior. However, in exchange for this weakness, the bearer of the fruit gains a set of unique abilities.

A blackbeard who has eaten a devil fruit is able to attract objects and people like a black hole. He can then spew whatever his darkness has absorbed as a torrential rain of debris. Dark-Dark Fruit also has the unique ability to nullify other Devil Fruit abilities by simply touching the user, which is how he defeated Ace during their duel.

Magu Magu no Mi or Mag-Mag Fruit

Although devil fruit powers come in different types, some powers are simply stronger versions of others. Oda used both Mera Mera no Mi and Magu Magu no Mi to convey this fact One piece fans. After all, it is the same Devil Fruit that took Ace's life.

As its name suggests, the Mag-Mag Fruit grants its eater the power of magma. This magma burns much hotter than normal fire, allowing it to easily overcome the Flame-Flame Fruit. In addition, it can be used in large attacks as it has enough attack power to reshape the entire landscape.

Hito Hito no Mi Moderu Nika or Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika

When it comes to powerful Devil Fruits, Luffy's Hito Hito no Mi Moderu Nika can no longer be missed. Even though it's a Zoan Devil Fruit and not a Logia Devil Fruit like Mera Mera no Mi, its power can make even Ace and Sabo fruit look like a joke, literally.

What was thought to be a simple rubber ability turned out to be a broken power. Upon Awakening, Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika allows the user to transform into a Sun God and uses its reality altering abilities. It allows the eater to use their imagination to manipulate the environment, including enemies, as they see fit. For example, Luffy used this ability to turn the powerful and terrifying Kaido into a jump rope.
