Summary
- Mera Mera no Mi's power to produce flames is incredibly destructive & hot, making it one of the most dangerous Devil Fruits.

When it comes to the Devil Fruits of the One Piece world, fans know that there are quite a few out there that are fascinating. Among all Devil Fruits, some are far more special and overpowered right from the get-go, and these are often the ones termed to be invincible. Among these Devil Fruits is the Mera Mera no Mi, a very powerful Logia Devil Fruit that was actually introduced long ago in One Piece.

Franky will be the next Straw Hat to get a power up. His power up will be massive.
Although the Mera Mera no Mi is strong, fans know very well that is far from the strongest Devil Fruit in the world of One Piece. However, that most certainly doesn't mean that this Devil Fruit cannot be the strongest. In fact, the true nature of this Devil Fruit could very well be hidden in One Piece, and might only be revealed once it is awakened later down the line in the Final Saga.
The Mera Mera no Mi And Its Incredible Powers
- The Power To Turn Into And Produce Flames
- A Scorching Hot Ability
Fire has always been known to be one of the coolest abilities in fiction, and in One Piece, Oda has depicted the power of fire in various ways. But, quite easily, the best depiction of fire power in One Piece is the Mera Mera no Mi. This Devil Fruit belongs to the Logia class and is one of the most overpowered abilities to exist. The Mera Mera no Mi allows the user to produce flames from their body, as well as turn into flames themselves. The user can produce a limitless amount of flame, and they burn so hot that they can even destroy a town with rather ease. The first user of the Mera Mera no Mi that the fans saw in One Piece long ago was none other than Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's very own brother. After his death in the Marineford Arc, it was Luffy and Ace's brother, Sabo, who ate the Devil Fruit, and attained its incredible power.

With the power of this fruit, Sabo was even able to match up to the Admirals of the One Piece world, showcasing how dangerous flames can truly be. But, Sabo hasn't tapped into its true potential, which can be accessed through Devil Fruit awakening.
The Parallels Between Mera Mera no Mi And The Undying Power
The Undying Flame Is A Limitless Power Source
If there's one thing that Oda has made clear repeatedly in the Final Saga of One Piece, it is that there exists a special flame in the world that can power the entire planet. This special flame is what Vegapunk sought out as well. In fact, Vegapunk himself stated that the source of power for Egghead itself was fire. Yet, Vegapunk doesn't want to stop at fire. He wants to create his own sun, which, as fans know, also has fire.

The Void Century is still full of mysteries. A traitor in the D clan led to its downfall.
At the end of the Egghead Island arc, fans clearly saw the fire that Vegapunk was speaking of, and this fire was Motherflame. This flame is undying, and it possesses tremendous power. It can save the world, but if used maliciously, it can also power Ancient Weapons to destroy the whole world. This is the very same ability that Sabo can potentially channel through the Mera Mera no Mi in One Piece, provided he awakens the Devil Fruit.
Mera Mera no Mi's Awakening: Motherflame
The Mera Mera no Mi is a very dangerous Devil Fruit ability, but its true potential, just like that of most abilities, including the Gomu Gomu no Mi, lies in the Devil Fruit awakening. If Sabo awakens his Devil Fruit, he could potentially tap into the power of the undying flame, and that means his potential will be limitless. Curiously enough, Ace's strongest technique, Entei, saw him create a massive sun, which could be foreshadowing for the Undying Flame. Sabo’s very moniker now is Entei, which is yet another indication from Oda that he might tap into this power in the future.
The Undying Flame would give Sabo the ability to fight and absolutely demolish anyone standing in his path. In fact, it would be extremely beneficial to the Revolutionary Army in the Great War against the World Government, who might gain a Sun of their own through Vegapunk York. The importance of Sabo right now is paramount.
