Creative Technique and Abilities
Throughout its over 20-year run, One Piece has introduced a multitude of characters, each with distinct powers or possessing a Devil Fruit. Eiichiro Oda's ability to create unique abilities for a vast array of characters is truly impressive. Beyond the sheer number of characters, Oda introduced the concept of Haki, with different types: Observation, Armorment, and Conqueror's.
Observation Haki lets users sense others' presence, Armorment provides invisible armor, and Conqueror's Haki enables users to impose their will on others. Adding to this, there are Devil Fruits, fruits that grant special abilities when consumed. One Piece boasts numerous Devil Fruit users, each bringing their own unique twist to the story. While some may be more powerful than others, the introduction of a new Devil Fruit user always adds an intriguing element to the narrative.
Some of notable abilities existing in One Piece:
- Devil fruit (including Paramecia, Zoan and Logia types)
- Haki (including Observation, Armorments and Conqueror types)
- Rokushiki (including 6 special fighting styles of CP9 that go far beyond the normal human)
