Among the many mysteries in theOne Pieceworld, the origin of the Devil Fruits drew the greatest attention when the series first premiered. The unique power that provides unique abilities to its users in exchange for their ability to swim was something that was never seen before in the anime and manga world.
However, even after almost 30 years, these mysterious powers have remained a puzzle forOne Piecefans. Some believe that they are the creation of the devil, while others believe that they are a force of nature that can change the physical and mental anatomy of the user and his surroundings. Still, there is no confirmed answer to the question of Devil Fruits.
While their origin might have been a mystery, if fans had read the recentOne Piecechapters more deeply, they would understand that the first Devil Fruit might have been revealed by Eiichiro Oda, taking us one step closer to their truth.
The Mystery Behind the Creation of Devil Fruits
Although no one knows about the origin of the Devil Fruits, there have been subtle hints about how they are manifested since they have been a part of theOne Pieceworld. According to Dr. Vegapunk, the reason Devil Fruit users sink is that these fruits are not accepted by Mother Nature, thus proving that they are not natural.

Therefore, it can be interpreted that someone created the Devil Fruits, and the only possible explanation is the Ancient Kingdom. The Ancient Kingdom had technological advancements that even Vegapunk couldn’t understand. If the technology was so advanced, they could have found a way to turn people’s desires into abilities that they could use.
Devil Fruits are manifestations of the powers that people have desired for a long time. However, these manifestations come at a cost, and Vegapunk has already told us that theOne Pieceworld sank once before, during the Void Century when the water rose 200 meters. Therefore, there is no chance that the Devil Fruits came before that.
The First Devil Fruit Revealed inOne Piece
According to multiple theories, the Celestial Dragons and the World Government togetherstarted a waragainst the Ancient Kingdom and tried to control their ideals and beliefs. At the time of the war, obviously, the greatest desire among all of humanity was to attain freedom from the clutches of the antagonists.
Therefore, the desire for freedom manifested to form the first Devil Fruit, known as Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. As Nika was the representation of freedom, his ability to stretch was manifested in the Devil Fruit. This is also supported by the fact that Joy Boy, who was present during the Void Century, had the power to stretch and move freely.

The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika Devil Fruit, helped Joy Boy in their fight for freedom against the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and when Joy Boy was unable to achieve freedom for the people, the Devil Fruit manifested once again and was eaten by the main character of theOne Pieceseries, Monkey D. Luffy.
