One Piece has been entertaining fans for more than two decades, and the story will be getting more intense now that the final saga is underway. The Straw Hat Pirates are the main focus of One Piece, and Roronoa Zoro is the crew's first mate. He is a master swordsman who can use all three types of Haki, as well as advanced forms of Armament and Conqueror's Haki. He has defeated several strong Devil Fruit users over the years, but there are Devil Fruits that can actually counter him.
One Piece: Zoro's Best Friends, Ranked
The one-eyed swordsman in One Piece holds these individuals closest to his heart.
In most cases, these Devil Fruits belong to the Paramecia family, which is understandable since Paramecia offer a variety of unique superhuman abilities. Now that Zoro can use Haki, he can fight individuals who possess Logia Devil Fruit powers, but even some of these element-based Devil Fruits can do significant damage to him.
10 The Clear-Clear Fruit
Zoro Cannot Attack Someone He Cannot See
- Debut: Manga Chapter 444; Anime Episode 339
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Absalom & Shiryu
Blackbeard gave the Clear-Clear Fruit to Shiryu after stealing it from Absalom, and it made Shiryu a far greater threat. It gives its user the ability to turn their entire body invisible. It also allows the user to make any living or non-living object invisible as long as they are touching it.
The Clear-Clear Fruit is great for sneak attacks, especially when it is used by a master swordsman like Shiryu. Zoro can use Observation Haki, but even he may not be able to sense an invisible threat until it is too late. It would be very difficult for Zoro to land any type of meaningful hit if he cannot see his opponent.
9 The Paw-Paw Fruit
Can Repel Zoro & All Of His Attacks
- Debut: Manga Chapter 473; Anime Episode 368
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Bartholomew Kuma & S-Bear
The Paw-Paw Fruit currently belongs to Bartholomew Kuma - a former Warlord of the Sea and Revolutionary Army officer. This Paramecia-type Devil Fruit gives its user a set of paw pads on the palms of their hands, and these pads have the power to repel anything they come into contact with.
One Piece: 7 Things You Should About Bartholomew Kuma And His Past
Bartholomew Kuma is one of the most mysterious characters in One Piece.
Kuma used this power against Zoro when the Straw Hats were on Sabaody Archipelago, and at the time, it was used to repel Zoro all the way to Mihawk's residence on Kuraigana Island. If Zoro were to attack someone like Kuma, none of his attacks would land because the Paw-Paw Fruit can intercept and repel every strike.
8 The Love-Love Fruit
Can Turn Zoro To Stone
- Debut: Manga Chapter 516; Anime Episode 410
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Boa Hancock
Boa Hancock's beauty is known throughout the world, and it allows her to fully utilize the Love-Love Fruit's power. It allows her to petrify anyone who is attracted to her. Zoro is oblivious to beauty, so this aspect of the Love-Love Fruit would likely not affect him.
Luckily, the user can still turn someone to stone if they land physical hits on their opponent's body. They can also shoot special arrows that can petrify anyone they hit. If Zoro cannot use his Haki in time, he can be turned to stone with both of these methods, and only the user would be able to reverse it.
7 The Barrier-Barrier Fruit
Produces Seemingly Indestructible Barriers
- Debut: Manga Chapter 708; Anime Episode 637
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Bartolomeo & Semimaru Kurozumi
Like its name suggests, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit gives its user the ability to create barriers. These barriers can be thrown like ranged weapons, and they can be used to temproraily trap an enemy. That being said, ths Devil Fruit's main function is to protect the user.
Kozuki Oden is one of the strongest swordsmen in One Piece and even he could not put a scratch on one of these barriers. It is said that these barriers are indestructible - which implies that Zoro will never be able to break through them.
6 The Hobby-Hoppy Fruit
Would Turn Zoro Into A Living Toy That Must Obey The User
- Debut: Manga Chapter 701; Anime Episode 630
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Sugar
The Hobby-Hobby made its debut in the Dressrosa Arc, and it was an integral part of Doflamingo's plan because it turned many citizens into slaves. The Hobby-Hobby Fruit gives someone the power to turn other living beings into toys. In order for this ability to work, the user needs to physically touch their target.
Even someone as strong as Zoro can be turned into a toy, but he should be able to reverse the transformation with his Haki. That being said, he won't be able to reverse the transformation if the user completes the contract in time. Once the contract is in effect, Zoro would be forced to obey every command. At that point, Zoro would only be able to return to normal if the user is killed or loses consciousness.
5 The Woods-Woods Fruit
Provides The User With Regeneration & It Can Drain The Moisture In Zoro's Body
- Debut: Manga Chapter 1052; Anime Episode 1079
- Class: Logia
- Known Users: Admiral Ryokugyu
Admiral Ryokugyu made his long-awaited debut at the end of the Wano Arc, and he quickly decimated Kaido's remaining forces - including King and Queen. He has the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit - a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create and transform into plant life. This Logia is unique because it does not provide the user with intangibility, but they can regenerate from almost any injury.
One Piece: Every Marine Admiral's Devil Fruit, Ranked
The Marine Admirals are the World Government's strongest military force in One Piece. Here's a look at the strength of their Devil Fruits.
Even if Zoro used Haki infused attacks against the Woods-Woods Fruit, the user would heal. If Zoro were to get pierced by one of the user's branches, all the moisture in his body would be drained until he becomes an immobile dehydrated husk.
4 The Tremor-Tremor Fruit
Quakes Can Destroy Zoro's Swords & Body
- Debut: Manga Chapter 552; Anime Episode 461
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Whitebeard & Marshall D. Teach
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is one of the reasons Whitebeard was considered the strongest man in the world. It is believed to be the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit because it theoretically has the power to destroy the world. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit allows someone to create powerful quakes through any medium, and these quakes can be focused into the user's fists or weapon.
If someone as strong as Whitebeard were to hit Zoro with one of these quake punches, there is a good chance many of Zoro's bones will instantly break. If the quakes are used against Zoro's swords, they will shatter if Zoro fails to coat them in Haki in time.
3 The Op-Op Fruit
Zoro Can Be Teleported & His Body Can Be Rearranged
- Debut: Manga Chapter 504; Anime Episode 398
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Trafalgar D. Water Law
The Op-Op Fruit is one of the most coveted Devil Fruits in the world because of its medical applications, but it is also one of the strongest. The user has the ability to manipulate the fabric of space within a designated sphereical area. Thanks to Devil Fruit Awakening, the user can apply this sphereical area to an object like a sword.
If Zoro attacks an Op-Op Fruit user, they can use their power to evade the attack by teleporting Zoro elsewhere or swapping places with him. The user could also surgically remove Zoro's limbs with their own sword swipes. They can then rearrange Zoro's body in such a way that he is rendered completely immobile.
2 The Rust-Rust Fruit
Can Destroy All Of Zoro's Swords
- Debut: Manga Chapter 426; Anime Episode 309
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Captain Shu
Captain Shu participated in the Enies Lobby Buster Call, and he demonstrated just how effective the Rust-Rust Fruit can be against someone like Zoro. This Paramecia-type Devil Fruit gives its user the ability to rust any metallic object until it breaks. The user simply needs to make physical contact with the metal object, and this attribute makes them immune to metallic weapons like swords.
One Piece: 5 Things That Prove Marines Are Evil
The Marines have done many questionable things in One Piece.
Shu may not be strong, but this power allows him to counter every swordsman in the world. The Rust-Rust Fruit was already used to destroy Yubashiri - one of the 50 Skillful Grade swords that Zoro acquired in Loguetown. If Zoro does not activate his Haki in time, the Rust-Rust Fruit can destroy every sword in his possession.
1 The Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit
Can Block Any Sword Attack
- Debut: Manga Chapter 553; Anime Episode 463
- Class: Paramecia
- Known Users: Jozu
Jozu was the commander of Whitebeard's 3rd division, and he would often shield the legendary pirate from powerful attacks. He was able to do this because he has the power of the Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit. This Paramecia allows its user to turn any part of their body into diamond - which is considered the strongest substance in the world.
During the Summit War, Jozu used his diamond body to block Dracule Mihawk's strongest slash. The attack did not even scratch Jozu's body. Zoro is still not on Mihawk's level, so there is no chance he would be able to cut through a Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit user. Even if he does surpass Mihawk, his attacks will still likely have no effect on the user's body.
