This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.
The One Piece world is filled with incredibly powerful abilities, but few can compare to Luffy’s awakened Devil Fruit, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. This Devil Fruit allows Luffy to turn into an ancient and mysterious One Piece Sun God, Nika.
One Piece: Luffy Has The Power Of A God, But Oda Has Already Revealed 5 More God Abilities
The Nika Devil Fruit grants the power of a god, and so do these other Devil Fruits in One Piece.
Luffy’s Nika form is powerful, but there are a few powers that could potentially counter it if used properly.
Yami Yami no Mi
Grants the Power to Cancel Devil Fruit Abilities
Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, was after a specific fruit for a long time — the Yami Yami no Mi. Blackbeard wanted this fruit for a good reason, as it is one of the best fruits in the series and it offers a special ability, the power to cancel Devil Fruits.
Indeed, the Yami Yami no Mi can absorb anything, including powers granted by Devil Fruits. This fruit would make no exception for Luffy’s Nika form, if Teach ever got his hands on him.
High-Level Conqueror's Haki
Haki Can Trump Any Devil Fruit Ability
Devil Fruits are the main power system in One Piece, but Haki is the King. While Devil Fruits offer diverse and different abilities, Haki is more reliable. A One Piece top-tier can get away with not having a Devil Fruit, but not having Haki is not an option.
Specifically, when it comes to countering Devil Fruits, Armament Haki works, but Conqueror’s is even better. A high-level Conqueror’s Haki should be able to counter any Devil Fruit ability, including Luffy’s Nika form.
Imu's Devil Fruit
A Legendary Power That Took Down Joy Boy
Imu is the secret sovereign of the One Piece world, and probably the strongest character in the story at the moment. Imu has, at the moment, only shown a small extent of their fruit’s powers. In Elbaf, fans have seen some of their abilities, which include powers like a demonic contract, and even magic.
One Piece: Dressrosa And 5 Other Arcs That Oda Could've Made Shorter
Dressrosa was quite the long arc in One Piece. It, and other arcs, could have been made shorter.
What Devil Fruit Imu has, however, remains a mystery. But one thing is for sure, it’s going to be a great counter to Luffy’s powers of imagination. After all, Imu did defeat Joy Boy during the Void Century, someone who had the same powers as Luffy.
Ope Ope no Mi
Has the Power to Switch Souls
The Ope Ope no Mi is one of the most legendary and sought-after fruits in the One Piece world. At the moment, it is wielded by the Worst Generation member, Trafalgar D. Water Law. The abilities this fruit offers are numerous, and it’s one of the most versatile and useful fruits one can have.
When it comes to countering Luffy’s Nika form, its soul-switching technique can come into play. Law has shown during Punk Hazard how he can switch the souls of different individuals. If he were to switch Luffy’s soul to another body, his Nika form would basically be useless, countering it effectively.
Toshi Toshi no Mi
The Power to Imagine Any Future
The Toshi Toshi no Mi, which is a Devil Fruit currently in possession of Jewelry Bonney, surprised many fans with its powers. Initially, people simply thought this Devil Fruit allowed Bonney to modify her age and that of others. This is already a powerful ability, but it doesn’t even scratch the surface of what this fruit is actually capable of.
In Egghead, fans saw the potential of the Toshi Toshi no Mi. Simply put, Bonney can turn into any future that she thinks is possible. That's exactly how it could be used as a counter for Luffy’s Nika fruit. Bonney, with her Distorted Future, was able to use Gear 5. This makes her the only person aside from Luffy who can access this power and nullify it.
