Overview of Devil Fruit Users and Their Water Travel Capabilities
- Devil Fruit users generally lack swimming abilities; submersion in water significantly weakens them.
- Some users, such as Kuzan and Sanjuan Wolf, possess powers that enable water travel.
- Notably, Avalo Pizarro can merge with islands, allowing him to traverse water without the typical restrictions.
Across the diverse array of Devil Fruit users, a consistent challenge persists: the inability to swim. Submerging a significant part of their body in water leads to a marked reduction in their strength, rendering their powers ineffective. This inherent vulnerability makes it difficult for most of these individuals to navigate through aquatic environments.
Nevertheless, certain Devil Fruit users have developed unique means of overcoming this limitation, often leveraging the very powers that come with their fruits. While direct swimming is off the table for many, these users navigate the sea through innovative means.
1 Kuzan
A Cold Narrow Road
- Debut: Chapter 303 (Manga), Episode 225 (Anime)
Kuzan, once known as Admiral Aokiji, has transitioned to become a member of Blackbeard’s crew as one of the Ten Titanic Captains. A relaxed and contemplative figure, he has reservations about strict justice, particularly following the tragic events at Ohara. By employing his Hie Hie no Mi abilities, which grant him ice manipulation, he can traverse bodies of water effortlessly. Using his bicycle, Ao Chari, he famously confronted the Straw Hat Pirates at Long Ring Long Land. Presently, he opts for a large penguin named Camel as his primary mode of water travel.
2 Sanjuan Wolf
Too Big To Fail
- Debut: Chapter 575 (Manga), Episode 484 (Anime)
Sanjuan Wolf, a former prisoner from the West Blue, stands out as the lone giant among Blackbeard’s Ten Titanic Captains. His transformation into the colossal warrior via the Deka Deka no Mi gives him a size unparalleled in world lore. Surprisingly, he can walk on water, likely due to his massive size shielding him from the typical weaknesses associated with Devil Fruit users. While he may experience some exertion when in water, he can remain there longer than others without facing immediate repercussions.
3 Pizarro’s approval
An Island Boy
- Debut: Chapter 575 (Manga), Episode 484 (Anime)
Avalo Pizarro, a former ruler turned pirate, commands the Shima Shima no Mi, which grants him the remarkable ability to merge with islands and control their movements. This capability is not only a testament to his formidable power but also offers him unique advantages in traveling over water. Though the mechanics of this ability are still being explored, it suggests that some form of his body remains sufficiently above the waterline to mitigate the usual weaknesses imposed by his status as a Devil Fruit user.
4 Charlotte Perospero
A Candy Cruise
- Debut: Chapter 834 (Manga), Episode 795 (Anime)
Charlotte Perospero, the eldest child of the infamous Big Mom, wields the Pero Pero no Mi, which allows him to create and manipulate an array of candy creations. His innovation includes a candy sea slug designed for aquatic travel. In a fascinating twist, his mother enhances this creation using her Soru Soru no Mi, animating it to combat enemies effectively. However, it is worth noting that the creation itself was designed for sea travel even prior to these modifications.
5 Portgas D. Ace
His Own Fuel Source
- Debut: Chapter 154 (Manga), Episode 91 (Anime)
Portgas D. Ace possessed the Mera Mera no Mi, enabling him to create and manipulate fire. Like many Devil Fruit users, Ace could not swim; submersion in water would render him powerless. To navigate these limitations, he employed a raft named Striker, crafted by his ally Masked Deuce, designed to harness Ace’s fire abilities as a power source. This vessel allowed him to execute various missions across the ocean, underscoring his resourcefulness and adaptability as a formidable pirate.
Interestingly, Ace is not alone in using such creative transportation methods; for example, Galdino (Mr. 3) utilized a vessel powered by his wax, while Enel’s flying ark, Maxim, was an electricity-driven craft relying on his powers.
