Devil Fruits are the primary source of power in the One Piece world and, over the years, fans have seen some of the most incredible abilities being revealed in the story. As One Piece heads into the Final Saga, enemies get stronger with each passing chapter and that only means the need for strength among the heroes, such as the Straw Hat Pirates, arises even more.
At the same time, there are characters in other factions who need a major upgrade if they are to keep up with others. These characters, while strong, would require an external boost so that they can fight at the highest level and would thus benefit from eating a Devil Fruit.
7 Franky
Needs An Upgrade After Franky Shogun
Franky is the shipwright of the Straw Hats and certainly a very powerful individual. In Wano, he recently defeated Sasaki of the Tobiroppo and that just goes to show that he is quite strong. However, in the fight against Sasaki, it was quite clear that Franky had no other abilities up his sleeve and that a Tobiroppo level opponent was his ceiling.
There is nothing else that Franky has up his sleeve that is going to aid him in combat against stronger enemies. As such, he would greatly benefit from eating a Devil Fruit. However, whether he’s willing to do that or not remains to be seen. In Dressrosa, he outright declined the offer to eat the Mera Mera no Mi.
6 Koby
Needs To Get Stronger To Become An Admiral
One of the Marines, Koby is a character who has been under the spotlight quite a bit recently. In the Egghead Island arc, Oda focused quite a lot on Koby on the Pirate Island, and, there, he ended up playing a major role against the Blackbeard Pirates. Koby certainly has quite a lot of potential and his strength is immense, however, he is still far from reaching the top.
To put things into perspective, even when Koby unlocked the immense power that allowed him to crush an island-sized fist, Pizarro, the Fourth Ship Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, was still largely unharmed. This attack didn’t even damage Pizarro all that much and that just goes to show that Koby, at his very best, isn’t strong enough to defeat even a Commander of the Blackbeard Pirates, let alone be an Admiral. If Koby is to reach higher levels, he needs to eat a Devil Fruit.
5 Helmeppo
Needs Better Strength Than Kukuri Knives
Just like Koby, Helmeppo is yet another character who would benefit greatly from a Devil Fruit. He is even below Koby in terms of power and strength and this makes it extremely important for him to consume a source of power that would aid him greatly in combat.
He is strong and there is absolutely no doubt about that, however, if he is to reach the next level as a Marine and redefine the next generation of this organization, then he needs a Devil Fruit as well.
4 Tashigi
Needs To Overcome Her Weakness
A Marine Captain, Tashigi is a very skilled swordswoman who aims to collect all the infamous swords from evil people of the world. She is quite a rich character, however, her strength has failed to back that up on many occasions.
She is underwhelming at this point in the story and she needs a power boost. This is especially true as she is one of the many whom Garp considered to be the future of the Marines. Hopefully, she will eat a Devil Fruit soon.
3 Lafitte
A Veteran Pirate Of An Emperor Crew
Lafitte is quite a curious case when it comes to those who need to eat a Devil Fruit. Fans have not seen much of him in combat and it is entirely possible that he already has eaten a Devil Fruit. However, since this hasn’t been confirmed just yet, Lafitte essentially can be one of the characters who fans can consider to be in need of a Devil Fruit.
All the members of the Blackbeard Pirates are incredibly strong and have amazing abilities up their sleeves. Lafitte is the only one who is underwhelming at the moment. Of course, he does have some ability that allows him to sprout giant wings, however, fans do not know what exactly this power is just yet.
2 Vivi
The Honorary Straw Hat Needs A Power Up
The Princess of the Arabasta Kingdom, Vivi is a character who is going to be extremely important in the Final Saga of One Piece. After the death of King Cobra, Vivi will most certainly reunite with Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates and hope to protect the land of Arabasta as well.
Vivi is certainly strong, however, if she used to keep up with the rest of the crew, she will need a major power upgrade and this can come in the form of a Devil Fruit.
1 Usopp
The Weakest Straw Hat Needs More Power
Out of all the Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp is one who needs a Devil Fruit the most. Usopp is quite a compelling character whose skill at sniping is second to none. However, in terms of physical attributes, Usopp is lagging far behind the members of the crew, even the likes of Chopper and Nami.
He is, by far, the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates and he needs to level up greatly if he is to keep up with the others. Of course, it is certainly fun to see Usopp make the best of what is available to him without relying on superhuman abilities, however, as fights get harder, Usopp might need to rely on powers such as Devil Fruits.
