The 10 Devil Fruits that still work underwater in One Piece
In the abundant universe of One Piece, each Devil Fruit reveals powers as unique as they are impressive, but all share a common weakness: as soon as they are immersed in water, the exceptional abilities of their wielders vanish, leaving them defenseless against the waves.
This major handicap deprives Devil Fruit users of the ability to swim, exposing them to the risk of drowning. However, some abilities persist despite immersion, and it sometimes happens, in exceptional circumstances, that a Devil Fruit retains its potential when only part of the user's body is submerged, thus offering an unexpected margin of maneuver in a marine environment.

Most Devil Fruits capable of operating in aquatic environments belong to the Paramecia category, renowned for the phenomenal diversity of their powers. Several Logias can also act underwater, their wielders transforming their bodies into natural elements and managing to fully manipulate them. Ingenuity is often necessary to fully exploit these abilities: as long as the user is not completely submerged, their powers remain operational, making each situation a tactical challenge.
10. The Soul-Soul Fruit: Homies, invulnerable to immersion
Appearance: One Piece season 15, episode 55 "Candy Lover! Emperor Big Mom"
The Soul-Soul Fruit grants Charlotte Linlin, aka Big Mom, absolute control over souls, making her one of the most formidable figures in the New World. She can tear out the life essence of her enemies, thus increasing her own strength and longevity, but also breathe life into inanimate objects, creating Homies endowed with their own personality and unyielding loyalty.
Thanks to the Soul-Soul Fruit, an entire ship can become a Homie and sail the oceans without fearing the water. The iconic example of the candy sea slug animated by Perospero perfectly illustrates this aquatic invincibility: this giant confectionery marine creature crosses the waves without losing its vigor or abilities, proving the tactical superiority of this fruit in hostile environments.
9. The Flame-Flame Fruit: fiery propulsion on the waves
First appearance: One Piece season 4, episode 2 "Gathering of the Mighty! His name is Ace Fire Fist"
The Flame-Flame Fruit grants its wielder the power to generate, control, and embody fire. Like all Logias, it makes its bearer nearly intangible to conventional attacks, except those imbued with Haki. While water remains its natural antagonist, this fruit nevertheless retains the ability to propel its user on the surface of the sea, offering surprising mobility in a marine environment.
Portgas D. Ace masterfully demonstrated this feat during the Alabasta Saga, using his flames to move a raft on the ocean. As long as the hull is not submerged, the flame thrust allows fast navigation, with the user adjusting the force and direction of propulsion to cross the seas with remarkable agility.
8. The Lick-Lick Fruit: sweet constructions on the surface of the waves
Start: One Piece season 19, episode 13 "A Giant Ambition - Big Mom and Caesar"
Introduced during the Cake Island Arc, the Lick-Lick Fruit allows its possessor to materialize candies at will, as resistant as they are creative. These edible structures serve as formidable weapons, powerful prosthetics, or effective traps capable of neutralizing even members of the Vinsmoke clan.
Big Mom exploited this power to ride a giant candy sea slug, immune to water, demonstrating the stability and durability of these creations. Thus, it is possible to erect platforms or paths on the ocean's surface, granting unique mobility and adaptability in maritime environments.
7. The Magnet Fruit: metallic constructions to dominate the waves
First use: One Piece season 11, episode 17 "Admiral Kizaru in action! Sabaody Archipelago in chaos"
The Magnet Fruit propelled Eustass Kid to the rank of one of the most feared pirates on the seas. Thanks to it, he generates magnetic fields allowing him to attract and manipulate all metallic objects within his reach. Upon awakening, this fruit even enables him to magnetize his opponents to attack them with a rain of projectiles.
The user can assemble a submarine or a metal giant, like the famous Punk Rotten, and control them remotely by magnetism. This ability paves the way for the creation of colossal machines capable of walking or fighting underwater, piloted directly by the fruit's wielder, pushing the limits of naval warfare.
6. The Mark-Mark Fruit: infallible projectiles, even underwater
First appearance: One Piece season 15, episode 16 "A coward and a crybaby! The mermaid princess in the hard-hulled tower"
Ideal for sharpshooters, the Mark-Mark Fruit allows sending guided projectiles at a previously marked target. Vander Decken IX, pirate of Fish-Man Island, proved that even fully submerged, the projectiles relentlessly pursue their target without being slowed or deflected, making this fruit a formidable weapon in aquatic environments.
5. The Hollow-Hollow Fruit: a spectral existence beyond water
First appearance: One Piece season 10, episode 1 "Venture into the Devil Sea! The Mysterious Floating Skeleton"
Revealed during the Thriller Bark Arc, the Hollow-Hollow Fruit allows its wielder to generate ghosts charged with monitoring, attacking, or demoralizing the enemy. Some specters even trigger explosions as they pass.
The user can leave their physical body to adopt a spectral form, totally intangible, capable of passing through water without risk of drowning. However, beware: while the spirit remains invulnerable, the physical body, left defenseless, remains exposed to the danger of immersion.
4. The Huge-Huge Fruit: the power of the giant at the heart of the ocean
First appearance: One Piece season 21, episode 25 "Run, Koby! A desperate escape strategy!"
Currently held by a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, the Huge-Huge Fruit allows its bearer to enormously increase the size of their body, granting prodigious strength and durability. Giants endowed with this power can walk in the sea, although this feat requires considerable energy and is limited by the depth of surrounding waters.
3. The Heat-Heat Fruit: the sea under high temperature
First use: One Piece season 19, episode 45 "A secret meeting! Luffy vs the Fire Tank Pirates"
Often confused with other similar fruits, the Heat-Heat Fruit allows its wielder to raise the temperature of everything they touch, up to igniting or irradiating heat at a distance, sowing chaos among opponents and their equipment.
Even submerged, the user can dip their limbs in the ocean and warm the surrounding water, triggering devastating thermal attacks. This power remains operational in marine environments, offering rare tactical versatility among Devil Fruits.
2. The Ice-Ice Fruit: the ocean frozen beneath your feet
Appearance: One Piece season 7, episode 30 "The Proud Man! Foxy the Silver Fox"
Formerly an emblem of the World Government and now a major asset of the Blackbeard Pirates, the Ice-Ice Fruit grants absolute control over ice. Its bearer can instantly freeze vast stretches of salt water, creating solid paths on the ocean’s surface or radically altering terrain during naval battles.
This fruit has repeatedly proven it can transform the geography of a battlefield in seconds, offering unmatched mobility and defense in maritime environments.
1. The Island-Island Fruit: total invulnerability to water
Appearance: One Piece season 7, episode 30 "The Proud Man! Foxy the Silver Fox"
Probably the most original of all, the Island-Island Fruit allows its bearer to merge with an entire island and manipulate its topography, whether natural or artificial, even in permanent contact with the sea.
The user can thus generate gigantic limbs from the island, as demonstrated by Avalo Pizarro, without suffering any energy loss due to exposure to water. The Island-Island Fruit thus represents the absolute exception, completely immune to the usual weakness of Devil Fruits.
