In the world of One Piece, Devil Fruits grant extraordinary abilities, with some potentially linked to natural disasters. This theory delves into the possibility of "mythical" Paramecia fruits embodying such catastrophic powers, reshaping our understanding of key characters and hinting at new ones.

From Whitebeard's Gura Gura no mi to the speculated abilities of the Man Marked by Flames and Monkey D. Dragon, and a fresh perspective on Sakazuki's Magu Magu no mi, these abilities may represent a special category of Devil Fruits. This article uncovers the immense destructive potential these fruits hold, suggesting a deeper, more devastating tier of Paramecia fruits in its universe.

The first and only canonical example of a natural disaster-type fruit is Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi, also known as the Tremor Tremor fruit. Whitebeard's ability to create earthquakes is a stereotypical natural disaster, showcasing the immense power such fruits can provide. The disastrous power of this Devil Fruit was on display during the Marineford arc.

This fruit's destructive capability sets the standard for what a natural disaster-type fruit might entail, opening the door for speculation about other fruits with similar themes.

The silhouette in the final panel of chapter 1121 of the manga series is speculated to be the Man Marked by Flames, who possesses the ability to sink ships with whirlpools. Laffitte believes this to be the result of a Devil Fruit, possibly the Whirl-Whirl Fruit. This fruit could allow its user to create whirlpools, destroying anything in the water nearby, making it a formidable natural disaster-type ability.

Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army and Monkey D. Luffy's father, has mysterious powers that are hinted at during the storm in Loguetown. The storm forms and moves in less than an hour, a phenomenon Nami would have otherwise typically predicted well in advance.

The lightning that strikes Buggy's sword, saving Luffy, seems unnatural. This leads to the speculation that Dragon possesses the Storm-Storm Fruit, allowing him to control storms. Such a power could cause various natural disasters like tornadoes, flooding, and severe lightning, fitting the profile of a mythical Paramecia fruit user.

Sakazuki, also known as Akainu, wields the Magu Magu no mi, which allows him to produce and control magma. Oda has confirmed both in and out of the series that this fruit is one of the most powerful offensive fruits in the series. However, there is a theory that Sakazuki's fruit might actually be a Volcano fruit, similar to how Luffy's fruit was revealed to be different than initially thought.

The Volcano Fruit would allow Sakazuki to erupt like a volcano, channeling magma with the devastating potential to create volcanic eruptions, as evidenced by the landscape of Punk Hazard. Volcanoes are one of the deadliest natural disasters, supporting the idea that his fruit represents another mythical Paramecia tied to natural disasters.

The theory suggests a category of mythical Paramecia fruits representing natural disasters. Whitebeard's Tremor Tremor Fruit, Dragon's potential Storm-Storm Fruit, Sakazuki's possible Volcano Fruit, and the Man Marked by Flames with the Whirl-Whirl Fruit all fit this profile.

These fruits would significantly impact the upcoming Final Saga of the One Piece series, demonstrating a level of power and destruction aligned with natural disasters. This theory not only reinterprets known characters but also sets the stage for introducing new, powerful characters with similar abilities.
