Top 10 Strongest Devil Fruits in One Piece

Devil Fruits are unknown fruits that grant the user unique ability, but the user lose the ability to swim. Many Devil Fruit users are known to be powerful like the Admirals of World Government, Some of the seven Warlods, Yonko, and Rookies. But What is the most strongest devil fruit of all? Here is my Top 10 list of strongest Devil Fruit in One Piece.

10. Ope Ope no Mi















Sometimes called as the Ultimate Devil Fruit, Ope Ope no Mi gives you the ability to become a surgeon allowing you to manipulate everything in a room territory. This is one of a heck ability because you can dismember parts of the body making your enemies disabled. 

The user can also teleport whenever he wans allowing him to be very flexible in battle. Many ships? not a problem because Law just lift a huge ship within the range of room. Even Slicing a mountain, this devil fruit is really powerful.


9. Goro Goro no Mi




















One of the strongest logia fruits, can produce a maximum of 200 million volts. And even at long distances, Enel can attack enemies by attacking his enemies with lightning above the sky. The user can also move at lightning fast speed, allowing him to chase enemies in no time.

The user can also melt metal and shape the way he wants. The only flaw of this devil fruit is that it can counter by rubber, which is Gomu Gomu no Mi eaten by luffy. In their battle, enel is totally beaten by luffy. 


8. Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu
















A mythical zoan devil fruit that transforms the user into a giant golden Buddha. The devil fruit grants the user an enhance combat capabilities, punching Luffy and Blackbeard both injuring them. This zoan devil fruit can even clash with the shockwaves of Gura Gura no Mi. I believe there are more techniques Sengoku have but not shown in the anime, because you cannot be a Fleet Admiral if you are not strong.


7. Pika Pika no Mi
















Allowing the user to transform into light, moving at the speed of light same as Enel. Borsalino just defeated some of the supernova all by himself. He can shoot laser beams in his hands and feet, which explode very powerful.

 He can also punch and kick with the speed of light as seen by kicking urouge which is a very huge and tall guy just beaten so badly. Moving at the speed of light makes borsalino one of the fastest in the one piece world.


6. Hie Hie no Mi
















Manipulating ice to make weapons for combat purposes. And one of the devil fruits that can counter its weakness of the sea because he can transform a large radius of water in ice, Making him one of the strongest devil fruit users above the sea. Even when whitebeard creates a huge tsunami that can end the war easily just countered by kuza by using Ice Age to freeze the tsunami. He can also freeze humans with physical contact. After making them solid ice, he can easily shatter them to pieces.


5. Magu Magu no Mi
















Producing large amount of magma that can vaporize water and ice instantly making the user powerful as a volcano. Weapons such as swords that are not infused by haki are useless against magma because it will melt easily. He can produce raining fist of magma that totally have destructive power which destroys the Whitebeard's ship Moby Dick.

He can also produce explosives while punching with his arm that transforms in the magma, in the anime sakazuki heavily injured whitebeard and killed ace showing that the power of magma is really incredible.


4. Nikyu Nikyu no Mi


















This devil fruit can send anything flying to any location at extremely high speed, making him a powerful opponent. It can also deflect most of the attacks for defense. It can even push air and making it a powerful attack that can destroy rocks and injured people.

The other unique ability of this devil fruit is that it can also push the pain and fatigue of the body of an injured person. The red bubble shaped like a paw can be used to attack another person and feel very painful sensation, while it can also heal the person from pain and fatigue, which make this devil fruit one of the most usable ability in the battlefield.


3. Gura Gura no Mi
















The strongest devil fruit of the paramecia class, the ability to destroy the worlds as said by sengoku. It produces vibrations and shock waves through ground, water and air. This devil fruit is one of the most scary in the world of one piece because it can create tsunamis that put all the pirates at a disadvantage because they are all above the ocean.

With just one punch using gura gura no mi imbued with haki, Sakazuki nearly survive the attacks coming from whitebeard. If Whitebeard is young and healthy during the marineford war, he can easily end it by just spamming his ability.


2. Yami Yami no Mi
















The most powerful logia type devil fruit of all, the ability to control darkness and gravity. Blackbeard can nullify the power of another devil fruit user by just touching it which makes this fruit like a sea stone and counters to all devil fruit users. It can also absorb anything, like when blackbeard absorbs an entire city.

And the most scary and unique ability of this devil fruit is that it can absorb another devil fruit ability of dead people by unknown method, as blackbeard absorb the powers of gura gura no mi. Imagine if he can also absorb more than one devil fruit and transferred it to its members, the blackbeard pirates will be one of the most powerful pirates in one piece.


1. Fuwa Fuwa no Mi
















For me this is the most usable and strongest devil fruit of all types. Allowing you to fly in the sky with your pirate ship, this means that you can overcome one of the weaknesses of the devil fruit users which is the sea. Although the ability to make things fly are only the user and non living objects.

And the most terrifying ability of this devil fruit is that you can manipulate water, which puts all the devil fruit users at a big disadvantage. By controlling the sea, no one can stop you. As shown in the movie when Shiki traps Luffy in a circular shape of levitated water.


Conclusion:

For me this is my top ten strongest devil fruit that I can see most usable and powerful in the world of the pirate era in one piece, but i did not combined the fighting ability of the current devil fruit users. So what is your top ten strongest devil fruit? Share yours :) and lets continue supporting one piece for more exciting events that will happen in the future.

PKMN-PH December VGC 2014 3rd Place Team Report

Hello fellow trainers, My name is Matthew Sarmiento from Sto. Tomas Batangas, and a member from Team LGBT. I am glad that I discovered PKMN-PH thanks to my teammate, I am really happy i'm not the only one playing pokemon in the philippines haha because I thought no one is playing here, I just enjoyed playing RSE in the emulator in High School and College until now, and gba in my elementary days. This is the firs time I am writing a team report, sorry if there are a lots of mistakes in grammar.

This Team is build in such a short amount of time just to join the previous November tournament, and I do a lot of changes for the December 2014 VGC Tournament.










Mienshao @ Focus Sash
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Rock Slide
- U-turn

Here is my kitty that is flexible in all of my battles, for playing as support role, I usually fake out the mons of my enemy that are faster than mine and mons that are status inducer or prankster users. for wallbreaking, its STAB move High Jump Kick can 2HKO or even OHKO most of the mons that doesn't resist its, Rock Slide for OHKO common flying types such as Talonflame and Charizard Y.

With the ability regenerator and hold item focus sash with U-Turn, my mienshao is a Ninja Scout that heals it self and also to counter Shadow Tag users and bring out my other mons that can knock out them. The EV spread is self explanatory.











Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse
- Protect

This three headed dragon can wallbreak or even OHKO anything that doesn't resist its moves with the help of Life Orb and with the help of meowstic support with its Helping Hand. I choose life orb to maximize the full power of this beast, I have meowstic to slow down faster mons and knock them. I choose protect to let my meowstic do some thunder wave support.










Lapras (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 220 HP / 4 Atk / 8 Def / 160 SpA / 116 SpD
Quiet Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Freeze-Dry
- Psychic
- Ice Shard

Before using this, my original was vaporeon but lapras is so much better than vaporeon. It has access to Freeze Dry which I can almost OHKO any Dragon that has 4x weakness and also to OHKO or 2HKO the common Ludicolo and Gyarados that are not heavily EV invested in HP and Special Defense. The EVs are from one of the team reports in nuggetbridge and sorry cause I forgot who is the player.

I choose Assault Vest to take hits from the famous rotoms with their thunderbolt. But sadly I only invested 8 EVs in Def which is not good because mons like Mega Kangkaskan and Mega Mawile hit my Lapras very hard. Another mistake I made here is that my nature is not suitable for my lapras because I have Ice Shard which does not hit very hard because its -Atk, but gladly I revenge KO some of the most dragons like Salamence and Garchomp.









Venusaur (F) @ Venusaurite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 125 SpA / 57 SpD
Bold Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain

I choose Mega Venusaur as a bulky counter to most common Fairies which is really popular. Its EVs are originally from Alvin Rambano(one of my favorite players in the PGP which is really strong hehe). I change it a little bit base on my preferences, I invested 76 EVs on Defense to survive a Brave Bird from talonflames out there. Hydreigon and Lapras are weak to fighting which mean I can safely switch my Mega Venusaur with the right prediction.









Mawile (M) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
- Protect

The Powerhouse of my team, design to OHKO any mon and deal a lot and lot of damage to them. With the support from meowstic, this monster can oblitirate an entire team. Nothing much to say about its moveset, the EVs are spread to be bulky, and I choose adamant nature to maximize its sweeping capabilities. Mega Mawile is also one of my counter against trick room users.








Meowstic (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 100 SpD / 56 Spe
Bold Nature
- Helping Hand
- Thunder Wave
- Charm
- Safeguard

The MVP of the team, fully capable of supporting its teammates at its best. My team originally don't have a support because I really want my team to deal a lot of damage, I really need a support because there are many mons that are so annoying, and the most annoying one is Dark Void Smeargle, thats why safeguard from meowsctic is a really big help, blocking status really help my team.

Thunder wave is use accordingly to slow down fast threats and 25% chance not to attack is really good. Originally my meowstic have Trick Room to surprise my opponents, and it work from the previous tournament, after I set up trick room, I just switch my Lapras with Mawile and start sweeping my opponent's team. But I change it to Charm, thanks to my teammate Jess for suggesting this one, I manage to bring down a Garchomp to -6 that a Rock Slide is not doing any damage at all and a Gyrarados to -5 with intimdate from Mawile, but in the round 6 of swiss round, a Waterfall that lands a critical hit really do a lot of damage with my Mega Mawile which is very scary hehe.

Last but not the least, Helping Hand which really helps my team to OHKO most of the mons, I manage to OHKO a nidoqueen with Draco Meteor and KO another Mega Mawile with Iron Head, I forgot other OHKO moments with the Helping Hand from meowstic but it was worth it to put Helping Hand in its moveset. Meowstic is pretty bulky too, the EV spread is for pure bulk and i put some speed to outspeed other prankster that are not EV invested in Speed.

Thank you to all the players that I have battled, really want to write a commentary for each match but I forgot most of the matches to save and I don't really remember most of the battles, sorry :)

Swiss Rounds:
-Round 1 vs. Fernando Luis = Win
-Round 2 vs. Allan Cantaoi = Lose
-Round 3 vs. Marv Lava = Win
-Round 4 vs. CG Descalzo = Win
-Round 5 vs. Revin Antonio = Win
-Round 6 vs. Rey Allyson = Win
-Round 7 vs. Alvin Rambano = Win

My final score is 6-1 and manage to get the 2nd place in swiss rounds hehe, I really enjoyed all the swiss round, the hax is my bestfriend in all the swiss rounds :)

Topcut:
-Round 1 vs. Mark Nasuli = Win (2-1)
-Semifinals vs. JM La Torre = Lose (0-2)
-Bronze Match vs. Migz Garcia = Win (2-1)

The battles I have on the topcut is really the best! And I exprience a lot of pressure and gain a lot of lessons from this matches, Sadly my bestfriend hax betray me that my Hydro Pump and Rock Slide became Hydro Miss and Rock Miss hehe, but its part of the game so its ok with me :)

I manage to get the 3rd Place in this tournament, thanks to PGP family for this tournament, I really enjoyed all the tournaments. My dream as a child is now starting to come back hehe. My path to becoming the Pokemon Master is not yet finish, Thanks for reading this Team Report I hope you enjoyed reading it hehe :)

Is Fixed Gear worth riding?


Before I answer that question, let me give you some information about this bike. Fixed gear or fixed for short is a bike that has no brake and no freewheel. The weight of the fixie is so light you can lift it with one arm.



Here is my fixie, I just bought it a month ago, I’m really excited riding this one because I can see my friends doing skid all around, that is just so cool when they do it. When I start practicing it, guess what?? I just got a lot and lot of wounds! Haha, I thought it was that easy, but it was really really hard.

I also started practicing uphills so that I can have more stamina on long rides and can ace a lot of uphills if we are on long rides. While practicing uphills, of course, there are downhills that I encounter, It was really scary when I’m riding downhills because I can’t stop my fixieAnd then when I’m riding downhill there was a car that I was just about going to hit, I’m panicking that time and don’t know what to do, what I do is skid my fixie to make a full stop, and boom! I just did it just like that! After I did it, I don’t stop practicing it. That awesome feeling when I’m doing a skid is priceless.


Here is the result of practicing skid, you can see the lines that my tire just draw haha. I really want to buy a new tire to skid more longer. I am not worrying anymore about going downhills.

Here is a YouTube video link on that shows a lot of fixed gear skid tricks, you can achieve too this by practicing every day. There are many tricks to do when you learn how to skid.


My final thoughts are fixie are not recommended for beginners who want to learn how to bike, but if you really want to learn biking using fixie, I recommend putting a front brake on your fixie so that you can easily stop if you can’t skid for the first time. Also, where a safety helmet and buy straps or toe clip. My fixie has only one strap and its on the right pedal because I use my right leg to skid.

Is fixied gear worth riding? If you are the type of person who wants a challenge and thrill while riding like me then it's definitely worth riding! Just be careful when riding in highways, be more alert to your surroundings, you can never tell when accidents will happen. Goodluck on riding your fixie! :)
