Roronoa Zoro is one of the strongest characters in One Piece but if he possessed one of these Devil Fruits, he would easily become an Emperor.
Roronoa Zoro, the Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the strongest characters in One Piece, has proved his strength and power multiple times. In fact, there are certain moments where he has made more impact and gained more recognition from the fans of the series than Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, and his captain.
Thus, fans would admit that he has all the talent and aura to become an Emperor of the Sea in One Piece. The only thing he would need is a strong Devil Fruit power that would not only enhance his strength even more but also put him at the top of the list in One Piece. Thus, here is a ranked list of every One Piece Devil Fruit that could help Zoro become a true Emperor of the Sea.
5. Supa Supa no Mi
The Supa Supa no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to turn their body into steel blades. The user can create sharp edges from their arms, legs, and even torso, making their entire body a weapon. This fruit was eaten by Daz Bonez, a former officer and agent of Baroque Works. Zoro fought him in Alabasta, where he learned how to cut steel for the first time in One Piece.
If Zoro had this fruit in One Piece, it would not replace his swords but provide him even more strength in close-range combat. His body could act as both shield and weapon, allowing him to attack even when disarmed or blocked. Combined with Armament Haki, Zoro could turn himself into an unbreakable steel demon, overwhelming enemies in almost every possible scenario.
4. Suke Suke no Mi
The Suke Suke no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants invisibility to its user. The user can make themselves invisible and can also hide anything they touch. This fruit was first used by Absalom of Thriller Bark, and later Shiryu of the Blackbeard Pirates took hold of it after killing Absalom in One Piece.
For Zoro, invisibility would greatly enhance his striking potential as a swordsman. Zoro specializes in fast, decisive strikes that end fights quickly. Being invisible would allow him to land deadly sword techniques before opponents can properly react and help him reach the level of Emperors of the Sea in One Piece.
3. Riki Riki no Mi
The Riki Riki no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants extreme levels of physical strength in One Piece. The user can lift massive objects and overpower opponents with pure force, and as of yet, it has no weaknesses. This fruit is currently used by Jesus Burgess of the Blackbeard Pirates, who relies on brute strength rather than technique.
Zoro already possesses incredible strength, but this fruit would push it to absurd levels. Sword fights at the highest level are not just about skill but also about the power behind each swing. With this fruit, Zoro’s slashes would hit much harder, allowing him to break through strong defenses and overpower opponents, thus making him a true Yonko.
2. Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika
The Hito Hito no Mi Model Nika is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that grants the powers of the legendary Sun God Nika. It is probably the most significant Devil Fruit in One Piece that allows extreme freedom in movement, creativity in combat, and incredible durability. This fruit is famously used by Monkey D. Luffy after its awakening, which is known as Gear 5.
If Zoro had this power, his fighting style would become unpredictable and overwhelming. He could twist movements, attack from impossible angles, and ignore normal combat limits. While this fruit might clash slightly with Zoro’s serious personality, its sheer power would allow him to dominate almost any battlefield and earn him the status of an Emperor.
1. Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu
The Uo Uo no Mi Model Seiryuu is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that allows the user to become an Azure Dragon in One Piece. It grants massive durability, enhanced strength, flight-like movement, and powerful elemental attacks. This fruit was used by Kaido, one of the strongest characters in the story, and an artificial version was also eaten by Kozuki Momonosuke.
This Devil Fruit fits Zoro perfectly, especially since Eiichiro Oda has stated that if Zoro were to get a Devil Fruit, he would want one of Zoro’s swords to have this power. A dragon-powered sword would massively increase Zoro’s attack range, mobility, and destructive power without changing who he is. It would enhance his fearsome presence and solidify him as a true Emperor-level swordsman. Which other Devil Fruit power do you think will help Zoro become an Emperor? Let us know below!
