Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is the most alluring Shonen series that has been airing since 1999. The series features everything that is essential for featuring a unique fruit that is essentially the manifestation of someone’s dream. The series features a rare treasured fruit called Devil Fruit, which grants limitless ability to its users in exchange for their ability to swim.
These fruits can be categorized into three types: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan. However, there is one fruit that might possess the most broken power that can’t be overcome by a Haki master like Shanks.
If you have not guessed it by now, don’t worry because it’s none other than the Captain of the Barto Club, Bartolomeo. The super rookie possesses the Bari Bari no Mi (Barrier-Barrier Fruit), which might be hands-down one of the strongest Devil Fruits shown in the title.
Even Shanks’ Haki Is Futile Against Bartolomeo’s Devil Fruit Power!
Eiichiro Oda had carefully planned the concept of Devil Fruits in his magnum opus. While some grant unrivaled combat prowess, there are some that provide colossal defensive power.
Then, there’s Bartolomeo’s Bari Bari no Mi, which not only provides unmatched defensive strength, but can’t be taken down easily as the barrier created by the user is nearly indestructible. The Captain of the Second ship of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet made his debut in the Dressrosa Arc.
Initially, the character was believed to be a huge fanboy of Monkey D. Luffy, the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. However, once the tournament began, the character flaunted that the barrier created by the fruit was simply indestructible. Moreover, he won the battle royale by standing still while sweeping away piles of foes from the ring.
Though there’s a limit to how big the barrier can be, the advantage of being indestructible as well as transforming into various shapes—even turning into spheres and staircases—compensates for the limitation. Following the popularity of the fruit, a popular channel on YouTube called The.Animaze shared how “not even the strongest Haki can break” the barrier created by this fruit.
This impressed the community so much that they gathered at the post, singing praises of Bartolomeo the Cannibal and how criminally underrated the power of the fruit is in the eyes of the One Piece community.
One Piece Fans React To Bartolomeo Having The Most OP Devil Fruit
Even though the character had a limited appearance in One Piece, he played a crucial role in the Dressrosa Arc, helping Luffy and his crew defeat Doflamingo and saving Trafalgar D. Law from the Warlord of the Sea.
However, the character has not made a major appearance in the show ever since. Fans are impressed with his Devil Fruit ability, as the barrier could not be taken down even by mighty names like Oden or Kaido. They commented,
@mondofemma8840 commented, “Hey Bartolomeo we know you made this video to impress Luffy senpai”
@majindragon commented, “The only time Bartos Barrier broke was when Uta summond Tot Musica in the “Red” movie(not canon)”
@hansdampf6916 commented, “Bartolomeo’s ability is gonna became of crucial importance one day.”
@alexandergoodyear2355 commented, “Barto is proven,however, we don’t know if mihawk even used haki to attack buggy.”
@Dealsan commented, “If it was breakable then it won’t be called barrier barrier fruit”
@rajibsikder3315 commented, “Thank God he love luffy , before the barrier power was in wano the old orpchi family man”
Nevertheless, there’s no denying that this Paramecia fruit is the most overpowered fruit, despite being so simple. Hence, he is undeniably one of the most dangerous admirers of the Straw Hat Captain.
