When it comes to the fascinating world of One Piece, fans are always on the lookout for new revelations from the series’ creator, Eiichiro Oda. In recent news, Oda Sensei has finally unveiled the truth about Kurohige’s Devil Fruit, and it turns out to be quite surprising.
Contrary to popular belief, Kurohige’s Devil Fruit is not a Logia type, but rather a Mythical Zoan Mode known as the Darkness God. This particular fruit serves as the natural enemy of Monkey D Luffy, who possesses the Sun God Nika’s power. As per the clues provided by Oda Sensei, the Yami Yami no Mi held by Kurohige is associated with the Mythical Zoan Mode of the Darkness God. This revelation also ties in with Luffy’s Devil Fruit, the Hito Hito no Mi modeled after Nika, which draws power from the Sun God.
In a previous chapter of One Piece (1087), fans speculated about the connection between Im Sama’s powers and the strongest Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, which is in direct contrast to Luffy’s Devil Fruit. However, upon closer examination of each One Piece installment and Oda’s hints, it can be safely concluded that Im Sama actually possesses a Devil Fruit related to Kurohige.
Surprisingly, Kurohige’s Devil Fruit and Im Sama’s Devil Fruit originate from the same source and are natural enemies of Luffy’s Nika. This raises the question of what the Yami Yami no Mi’s combination with the Gura Gura no Mi, capable of causing devastating earthquakes, entails.
Initially, Kurohige’s Yami Yami no Mi was believed to be a Logia type rather than a Mythical Zoan like Luffy’s. However, several of Oda’s hints further reinforce the fact that the Devil Fruit belonging to the pirate named Marshall D. Teach is indeed a Mythical Zoan and not a Logia. Firstly, Teach is unable to transform his body into darkness, and Luffy can land punches on him without the use of Haki.
Secondly, the Yami Yami no Mi’s power to nullify other Devil Fruit powers seems more akin to the unique effect of a Mythical Zoan type. As we know, Mythical Zoan types in One Piece have additional abilities, such as Marco’s blue flames or Sengoku’s shockwaves. This strengthens the belief that the Yami Yami no Mi is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit in the form of the Darkness God, just like Luffy’s Nika.
In addition, Kurohige’s ability to absorb the powers of other Devil Fruits is believed to be a unique trait of the Yami Yami no Mi.
While there are other theories suggesting that the body of Shirohige’s former subordinate in the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates is special, it is reasonable to assume that darkness is one of Kurohige’s abilities. It would make sense for Oda to prepare the Whitebeard Pirates as the final opponents for the Straw Hat crew, and having darkness as one of Kurohige’s powers adds an element of surprise to the story.
As we wait for more surprises from the beloved mangaka, Eiichiro Oda, it is important to note that the ideas presented in this article are theories and purely for entertainment purposes. They do not aim to alter or modify the original content of One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda.
