One of the attractions of One Piece is the battles between pirates who have gained various abilities through Devil Fruits. Among these Devil Fruits, there is a type of Devil Fruit called Zoan that allows you to turn into the form of a beast. So, what kind of characters have the ability of Zoan Devil Fruits? We will introduce the main ones that have appeared so far.
What is Zoan Devil Fruit?
Zoan Devil Fruits allow you to transform your body into some kind of living creature. They allow you to obtain the power of animals, and generally allow you to take on three different forms: normal human, beastman, and beast. Many Zoan Devil Fruits excel in power and speed, and simple attacks increase. In addition, Zoan Devil Fruits can become tougher and more resilient than usual by awakening. This is mainly the case with the prison beasts of Impel Down, and they are characterized by their large bodies. Additionally, within the Zoan system, there are different types of Inu Inu no Mi, and each has a different model. Therefore, even with the same Devil Fruit, there are some Inu Inu no Mi, such as the Wolf and Dachshund, whose abilities and appearances can vary greatly.
Furthermore, as far as we currently know, Zoan Devil Fruits can be artificially created. This is how Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, created the Beast Pirates.
He created the artificial Devil Fruit SMAILE, turning everyone into Zoan-type users, and he has subordinates with a variety of abilities.
Reindeer with the Human-Human Fruit!! Tony Tony Chopper
First, the first Zoan-type ability user to be introduced is Tony Tony Chopper. Chopper is a reindeer who serves as the ship's doctor for the Straw Hat Pirates. Having eaten the Human-Human Fruit, he can speak human language. As he was originally a reindeer, he can also respond to beast-like forms. Furthermore, he has the advantage of being able to transform into various special forms with the Rumble Ball. As a reindeer, he is a rare character who interacts with humans as a reindeer rather than as a human.
The Model Great Buddha of the Hito-Human Fruit!! Sengoku
Sengoku is a user of the Great Buddha, a rare mythical beast type of Hito-Human Fruit. Sengoku is a person who has been appointed as a watchdog by the top of the navy and is also a capable person. By activating his ability, he can take the form of a Great Buddha and turn into a giant. The details of his abilities are not known, but given his history of rising to the upper echelons of the navy, he can be said to be a very strong character.
Leopard model of the Neko-Neko no Mi!!Rob Lucci
Rob Lucci is a user of the Leopard model of the Neko-Neko no Mi. As a member of CP9, he has excellent physical abilities. However, by using the power of the Neko-Neko no Mi, he greatly increases his power. He mostly fights in beast-human form, but when he moves or wants to move quickly, he also takes on the full Leopard form.
Inu Inu no Mi Model Jackal!! Chaka
Chaka is a soldier who serves the Alabasta Kingdom and is one of the Zoan ability users. He is an Inu Inu no Mi Model Jackal user, and fights by transforming into a beast-man form and increasing his power. Since he is skilled in the art of swordsmanship, he rarely transforms into a jackal, but he uses his ability when protecting Princess Vivi and others. In the story, he is easily defeated by Crocodile.
Rassu, a dachshund modeled after the Inu Inu no Mi!
Rassu is a rare creature that was born from a gun consuming a devil fruit, and took on the appearance of a dog. Dr. Vegapunk's new technology allowed tools to be endowed with the powers of the devil fruit, but the details are not yet known. He is a dog kept by Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas. He fires bullets by sneezing, giving Chopper and Usopp a hard time.
Jyabura, the Wolf model of the Inu Inu no Mi
Jyabura is also a Zoan-type ability user and a member of CP9. He is good at underhanded tactics and attacks when his opponent is not ready. He is a Wolf model Inu Inu no Mi ability user and mainly transforms into a beast-man and fights with sharp claws and fangs. He nearly killed Usopp, who was collecting keys to save Robin, but was defeated by Sanji. Perhaps because he is strongly affected by the wolf's characteristics, he starts howling more while using his ability.
Falcon model of the Tori Tori no Mi!! Pell
The next Zoan Devil Fruit user is Pell. Pell can fly, which is rare among Zoan Devil Fruits. His model is the Falcon of the Tori Tori no Mi. He can fly quickly and can carry people. In battle, he carries a gun on his wing and is good at aerial surprise attacks. In the story, he is also a hero who carried a bomb that was about to destroy the Alabasta Kingdom into the air, avoiding a major disaster.
Model Phoenix!! Marco
Marco is also a user of the Model Phoenix, which is particularly rare among Zoan types. The name of the devil fruit is unknown, but it is probably the Tori Tori no Mi. It is a rare devil fruit of the Phoenix mythical beast type, and fire attacks are ineffective. In addition, he has the ability to quickly recover even after being attacked, so it is possible that he is already an awakened devil fruit user. As the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, he has considerable abilities.
Ushi Ushi no Mi Model Bison!! Dalton
Dalton is a user of the Ushi Ushi no Mi Model Bison Devil Fruit. Dalton is the new king of Chopper's hometown, Drum Kingdom. He is a very kind-hearted and righteous person who is reforming Wapol's evil government. As a former soldier, he also has high combat ability. In particular, he is a user of the Devil Fruit of the powerful creature, the bison, so his battles in beast form are spectacular.
Kirin (Giraffe) model of the Ushi Ushi no Mi!! Kaku
Kaku is also a user of the Ushi Ushi no Mi, but his model is Giraffe. He has a long, square nose and is usually calm and collected. He obtained the power of the devil fruit during the Straw Hat Pirates' Robin rescue operation at ENEOS Lobby. He has acquired the power of the giraffe and is skilled in various sword techniques and combat that makes use of his long neck. In addition, the square parts of his body are reflected even when he transforms into a beastman, and the more he uses the power of the devil fruit, the more the square lines of his body stand out. In the story, she is sadly defeated in a one-on-one battle with Zoro.
Miss Merry Christmas, the Mogu Mogu no Mi
Miss Merry Christmas, whose real name is a mysterious Baroque Works agent, is an old lady with glasses who is impatient and has a habit of shortening everything to an extreme degree. Miss Merry Christmas is a mole human with the Mogu Mogu no Mi and can move freely underground. Using this ability, she is good at attacking enemies from underground and defeating them by taking their legs in cooperation with Mr. 4. In the story, he fights Usopp and Chopper in order to destroy Alabasta, giving them a hard time.
Ancient Species of the Zoan Fruit, Model Mammoth!! Jack
The last Zoan-type devil fruit user I'd like to introduce is Jack, an ancient species of the Zoan Fruit, Model Mammoth. He is one of Kaido's executives and is said to be Jack the Early Harm. He has a very cruel and belligerent personality. He is a rare ancient species of the Zoan Fruit, and fights in the form of a mammoth. Although his abilities are inferior to those of other big names, he is feared by many people.
【One Piece】Beastmen (Zoan type) Summary
This time, we introduced Zoan type devil fruit users who appear in One Piece. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and his subordinates also have many Zoan type users, but as of May 2019, there are characters whose detailed abilities and names have not been revealed. There are many types of Zoan type, and they vary greatly depending on the model, so distinguishing them is also attractive. In addition, since it is simply a powerful ability with strong power and speed, there will be many characters who will play an active role in future battles. Kaido's devil fruit is thought to be one of the strongest Zoan types because the model is a dragon. It will be interesting to see what moves they make in the future.
