15 Most Inventive Devil Fruit Uses Outside Combat

Devil Fruits are famous for wild battles, but they also solve everyday problems in surprisingly practical ways, from citywide surveillance to emergency medicine and even large scale logistics.

Bartholomew Kuma’s Paw Paw Fruit

Kuma can repel intangible things like pain and fatigue, which allowed him to extract and transfer suffering during the events after ‘Thriller Bark’. He also sends people and cargo to distant locations in an instant by repelling them, which enabled emergency evacuations across the world. The ability to shove air itself away can clear debris and open safe paths after disasters. He once scattered the Straw Hats for their protection, showing how the power can be used for strategic relocation rather than a fight.

Trafalgar Law’s Ope Ope Fruit

Law’s power enables sterile operating rooms on demand by creating a controlled space where he can perform complex procedures. He has swapped organs and detached limbs without killing the patient, which turns the fruit into a versatile surgical tool. He also removed and safeguarded hearts to control identities and prevent sabotage during ‘Dressrosa’. The immortality operation attached to this fruit makes it the most explicit medical asset in the series.

Nico Robin’s Hana Hana Fruit

Robin can sprout extra hands and eyes anywhere she can see, which turns research and reconnaissance into a one person operation. She reads and copies ancient texts while keeping watch with remote eyes, which proved essential on ‘Skypiea’ and in later archaeological work. On ships she handles rigging, steering aids, and lookout tasks at the same time. She also triggers levers and switches across rooms to navigate traps without risking teammates.

Mr. 3 Galdino’s Wax Wax Fruit

Galdino produces hardened wax that sets like molded plastic, which he used to create duplicate keys and functional tools. The wax forms durable furniture, bridges, and restraints that can be shaped to exact specs in minutes. During the ‘Impel Down’ events he crafted protective shells that acted like emergency gear for allies. His candles also make quick decoys and signage for on the fly plans.

Blueno’s Door Door Fruit

Blueno opens doors on any surface and even into the air, which creates instant corridors for transport and storage. The air door space functions as a temporary safe room that hides people and items out of sight. He used it to move targets through buildings without using visible entrances during ‘Enies Lobby’. The fruit effectively enables secure logistics and controlled access in complex facilities.

Charlotte Pudding’s Memo Memo Fruit

Pudding can extract and edit memory film from a person’s head, which allows precise redaction of sensitive information. She wiped or altered memories to maintain secret operations around ‘Whole Cake Island’. The power can reduce trauma by removing specific events, though it can also erase vital identity details. It is commonly used to establish airtight alibis and protect plans without leaving physical evidence.

Viola’s Eye Eye Fruit

Viola surveys an entire city by sharing the vision of anything within range, which provided real time intelligence during the events in ‘Dressrosa’. She also reads emotions and intentions, giving authorities a nonviolent screening method. The ability to zoom and track targets turns one person into a full surveillance network. It helped coordinate routes and safe houses for civilians under occupation.

Jewelry Bonney’s Age Age Fruit

Bonney can alter ages to change height, features, and even apparent identity, which is perfect for disguises and covert travel. She used mass aging to transform groups and slip through checkpoints without raising alarms. The power also lets her restore allies to prime years or make them elderly to avoid suspicion. It is a flexible tool for infiltration and evasion across busy ports and government zones.

Caribou’s Swamp Swamp Fruit

Caribou’s body stores a large volume of items in a swamplike space, which works as mobile warehousing. He has hidden civilians and supplies inside himself to bypass patrols on ‘Fish-Man Island’. The storage is waterproof and conceals metal objects, making it useful for smuggling or rescue. It also allows discreet delivery of weapons or relief goods where standard cargo checks are strict.

Brook’s Revive Revive Fruit

Brook’s soul can leave his body and move through walls, which he used for scouting and secure messaging. He can operate in harsh environments without risking a living body, such as crossing the cold waters near ‘Zou’. The soul returns to his body even after separation, enabling continuous missions despite restraints. His music also reaches distant listeners through this form for morale and coordination.

Kuzan Aokiji’s Ice Ice Fruit

Aokiji freezes the sea to create temporary roads, enabling pedestrian and vehicle crossings where no bridges exist. He preserved objects and even people in ice to prevent decay or buy time for treatment. The fruit can halt floods and stabilize damaged coastlines by locking water in place. It has been used for large scale disaster response and long distance travel across open ocean.

Enel’s Rumble Rumble Fruit

Enel powered machinery and a flying ship with high voltage output, turning his lightning into an energy grid for ‘Ark Maxim’. He restarted stopped hearts with controlled shocks, which is a direct medical application. He also transmitted signals through conductive materials and transponder snails for long range communication. The fruit’s electromagnetic sensing helped map terrain and locate hidden structures on ‘Skypiea’.

Shinobu’s Ripe Ripe Fruit

Shinobu ages objects to rapid maturity, which lets her ripen food stores and speed up harvests when needed. She rots or crumbles walls and locks for quick escapes without loud tools. The power alters structural materials to weaken or finish them, useful in construction shortcuts or controlled demolition. It provides a quiet way to open routes during covert operations.

Foxy’s Slow Slow Fruit

Foxy projects slow fields that reduce the speed of moving targets, which he used in ‘Davy Back Fight’ games to handle delicate tasks with precision. The effect lets workers catch falling cargo and align equipment without damage. It also helps with maintenance where fast moving parts are dangerous by briefly slowing motion. The power turns tricky timing jobs into safe, manageable steps.

Shiki’s Float Float Fruit

Shiki removes weight from objects and makes them float, which he used to lift islands and build airborne bases. The power enables vertical construction, hidden storage in the sky, and long term relocation of resources. It also keeps ships suspended for repair or concealment away from patrol routes. By controlling gravity like a switch, he redesigned entire landscapes for strategic infrastructure.
