One Piece’s Elbaf Arc Gives Strongest Yonko Fleet a New Devil Fruit

One Piece’s strongest Yonko Fleet is set to receive a new Devil Fruit upgrade in the Elbaf arc, according to Game Rant. IMDb’s coverage gives more context: three new legendary Devil Fruits are coming after a four-year wait.

The source material confirms the upgrade, but we don’t have specifics yet. It doesn’t mention the fruit, its user, or its abilities, and we won’t speculate. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.

This announcement follows a trend. Game Rant has published three Elbaf-related articles this past week: one that calls the new Yonko crew the strongest ever (Oct. 10), another that explores the manga series behind the story (Oct. 12), and one detailing three powerful transformations coming in the arc (Oct. 14). This coverage suggests that Elbaf will be a significant power-scaling moment for the series.

The news pertains to the manga and anime, not a game release. However, it still impacts the gaming side of the franchise. Any new legendary fruits will influence what future adaptations need to consider—everything from character kits to boss designs.

The current benchmark game is One Piece Odyssey, a turn-based RPG developed by ILCA and published by Bandai Namco, which launched on Jan. 13, 2023. It boasts an 80% positive rating from 1,844 Steam reviews and retails for $39.99. At the time of writing, only 26 players were active on Steam, which is modest for a title affiliated with one of the biggest anime brands.

Community Pulse

Our sentiment analysis covers 10 signals, showing mostly positive feedback, but these relate to One Piece Odyssey, not the Devil Fruit news. One Steam reviewer described it as “a pretty fun JRPG that feels like going on another adventure with the Straw Hat crew.” They also mentioned that “the turn-based combat is simple but enjoyable, and the character abilities make battles feel very One Piece.” Fans crave these faithful power sets, which is what the new legendary fruits would provide.

What To Watch

• Official details: We still don’t have confirmation on the fruit’s name, user, or abilities from the sources we’ve reviewed.
• The other two fruits: IMDb’s framing suggests a trio, so keep an eye out for how the remaining two are revealed and how they compare.
• Game tie-ins: There’s been no announcement from Bandai Namco linking Elbaf powers to a game. Any new project or update will be worth tracking.
