Basic Information about Devil Fruits

3 type of Devil fruit

Originally there are 3 types of Devil Fruits. 

First, Logia-type fruits give the user the ability of different natural elements. Also, the user gains the ability to transform into that element making them almost invincible without Haki. 

The second is Zoan-type fruits. This type of fruit turns the users into different animals. However, there are two variations to this rule. One, sometimes the fruit can turn animals into humans too. The other one is Mythical Zoans. This variant is the rarest Devil Fruit and turns the user into a Mythical being. 

The third type of Devil fruit is Paramecia type Devil Fruit. This can give the users different abilities. The powers depend on the fruit and don’t fall into the last two categories. This is the very basic information related to the fruits. Now, let’s dive deep into the details of our topic.

The Hito Hito no Mi in English is called “Human Human Fruit”. This fruit has different models and users throughout the series. The fruit is a mythical Zoan-type devil fruit.
