Magma is an incredibly hot and destructive liquid, which means that it is a dangerous and lethal power for anyone to have, especially someone like Akainu who is known for being ruthless. With that said, there are actually quite a few Devil Fruit abilities that can counter Akainu in some way.
Updated May 4, 2022, by George Voutiritsas: Akainu first appeared during the Summit War at Marineford, and, during the timeskip, was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral. He possesses a powerful Devil Fruit, and is extremely proficient with Armament Haki, which explains why he is considered to be one of the strongest characters in all of One Piece. His ability to control magma is actually quite terrifying, as very few things can withstand the extreme heat that his Fruit produces. Few people can defeat Akainu and his power, but there are luckily several Devil Fruits that can stand up to him.
15 Jozu’s Sparkle-Sparkle Fruit
Jozu was the commander of the 3rd division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he ate a Devil Fruit which grants him a virtually unbreakable defense. The Sparkle-Sparkle Fruit is a Paramecia-type Fruit that allows Jozu to transform any part of his body into diamond.
Dracule Mihawk is the world’s greatest swordsman, and Jozu was able to block his strongest attack without suffering a single scratch. The melting point of a diamond is about 7,280° Fahrenheit, and magma burns at roughly 2,200° Fahrenheit, which means that Akainu’s magma would not be able to damage Jozu’s body.
14 Brûlée’s Mirror-Mirror Fruit
Charlotte Brûlée is Big Mom’s 19th child, and she became a Mirror Human when she ate the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. This is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows Brûlée to create mirrors with her hands, and she can use them as portals. It also gives her access to her own separate mirror dimension.

What makes these mirrors especially useful, is the fact that they can absorb and reflect enemy attacks. If Akainu uses ranged attacks, she’ll absorb them, and if he attacks her directly, she can trap him inside her mirror dimension. It is fair to say that this is one of the most underrated Devil Fruit powers in One Piece.
13 Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit
There are only three Admirals at any given time, and so far, each Admiral has been extremely powerful. Adimral Kizaru first appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, and he used his Glint-Glint Fruit to defeat several members of the Worst Generation with ease.
This Logia-type Devil Fruit allows Kizaru to create, control, and transform into light. He can use this power to blind his enemies and fire laser beams. It also gives the user the ability to move at the speed of light, which means that Akainu will never be able to hit him with a ranged or melee attack.
12 Enel’s Rumble Rumble Fruit
Enel has not appeared since the Skypeia Arc, where he defeated most of his enemies without breaking a sweat. He ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a Logia-type that gives him the ability to create and transform into lightning. This power is said to be invincible, and it is capable of destroying an entire island.
A bolt of lightning can produce heat of up to 50,000° Fahrenheit, which is hotter than the surface of the sun, so it would be able to overpower magma which produces far less heat. This Fruit allows Enel to move at the speed of lightning, which is more than 200,000 mph, so, in theory, Enel would be able to dodge Akainu’s attacks with ease.
11 Fujitora’s Press-Press Fruit
Fujitora became an Admiral during the timeskip, and he revealed his Devil Fruit ability shortly after being introduced in the Dressrosa Arc. The Press-Press Fruit is a Paramecia-type which gives its user the ability to create and manipulate gravitational forces. It can move living things and objects with minimal difficulty, and it can even call meteors down from space.
If Fujitora were to fight Akainu, he can use his Devil Fruit to create a powerful gravitational force to press Akainu against the ground. Even if Akainu turned his entire body into magma, he would not be able to move or attack.
10 Brook’s Yomi Yomi no Mi
There is a lot of sword fighting in One Piece, which is why Ghost of Tsushima fans might like it, and Brook is one of the more talented swordsmen in the series. Brook looks like a skeleton because he is one, and this happened because it took his soul a very long time to find his body.
This is all thanks to the power of the Revive-Revive Fruit, which enhances the user’s soul and allows them to resurrect themselves. The user can only revive once, however. Akainu aims to kill with his Devil Fruit, and there is no better way to counter this than by reversing death.
9 Big Mom’s Soru Soru no Mi
Big Mom is probably one of the only One piece characters who can beat Luffy in a food eating contest, but she also happens to be one of the strongest pirates in the series. She has incredible Haki, physical strength, and durability, but her greatest weapon is arguably her Soul-Soul Fruit.

This Devil Fruit allows the user to manipulate souls, to the point that they can infuse living souls into inorganic and inanimate objects. Akainu might be strong, but all Big Mom has to do is pull out his entire soul, because doing so would kill him instantly.
8 Kaido’s Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu
Dungeons & Dragons fans enjoy anything involving dragons, and thanks to Kaido, One Piece now has its own dragon. Kaido probably possesses enough strength to beat Akainu without transforming, but if he does use his dragon form, Akainu won’t even scratch him.
When Kaido transforms into his dragon form, he gains even more inhuman durability because of his scales. He also gains the ability to use elemental attacks that are powerful enough to change entire landscapes. Kaido is immune to heat-based attacks, so Akainu’s magma would more or less be useless sludge in Kaido’s eyes.
7 Shiryu’s Suke Suke no Mi
Shiryu is another one of One Piece’s master swordsmen, and under normal circumstances, a swordsman without any visible Armament Haki would be at a disadvantage when fighting a Logia user. Shiryu now possesses the Clear-Clear Fruit, which allows him to turn himself and anything he touches invisible.
Someone with the Clear-Clear Fruit can just go invisible and attack Akainu whenever his guard is down, and if the user has Haki, they will be able to harm Akainu even if he transforms his body into magma.
6 Caesar Clown’s Gasu Gasu no Mi
Caesar Clown may not be a powerful villain, but he is a Logia user with a power that can take down almost anyone. Thanks to the Gas-Gas Fruit, Caesar can create, manipulate, and transform into gas at will, and this gas happens to be very poisonous.
RELATED: One Piece: Deaths That Rocked The Anime’s Foundation, Ranked
If Akainu turns his entire body into magma, the poisonous gas won’t be able to enter his lungs, but doing so will still leave him open. Magma is made up of several dissolved gases, so the user of the Gas-Gas Fruit can simply remove the gasses that make up magma. Doing so would not make the liquid magma anymore, which means Akainu wouldn’t be able to control it.
5 Law’s Ope Ope no Mi
Law may be allied with Luffy, but he is not officially part of the Straw Hat grand fleet, and his Devil Fruit is powerful and extremely useful. The Op-Op Fruit allows its user to create a spherical space in which they have complete control over every objects’ position and orientation.
If Akainu ever finds himself inside this spherical space, someone like Law can separate his body parts and place them in sea water to prevent them from transforming into magma. Law can also use this power to surgically remove Akainu’s heart. Akainu might be able to make an artificial heart out of magma, but if something happens to his real heart, it will be the end of him.
4 Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi
One of the strongest jutsu in Naruto utilizes gravity, which explains why Blackbeard’s Devil Fruit is so powerful. The Dark-Dark Fruit gives its user the ability to create and control darkness at will, and thanks to its unique property of gravity, it effectively turns the user into a living black hole.
Like all black holes, Blackbeard can suck in anything, including magma, so any ranged attacks would be completely useless. What makes this Devil Fruit a true counter to Akainu though, is the fact that it can nullify the power of his Magma-Magma Fruit, and all Blackbeard needs to do is touch him.
3 Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi
For years Whitebeard was considered to be the strongest man in the world, which is not all that surprising since he wielded the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This fruit allows its user to create quake-like vibrations through the ground, seafloor, and even the air, and it is believed that it is powerful enough to destroy the entire world.
During the Summit War, Whitebeard used his power to decimated Akainu during their fight, in fact one of his quakes was able to harm Akainu even when parts of his body were made of magma.
2 Marco’s Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix
Like Kaido, Marco possesses the power of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, except his comes in the form of a phoenix. Marco can fully transform into a phoenix which is covered in blue flames, and those flames remain even if he partially transforms.
RELATED: One Piece: The Best Fights In The Series, Ranked
This fruit doesn’t offer any real physical advantage in a fight, but the blue flames do allow the user to heal any injury within seconds, and in full phoenix form, attacks more or less pass straight through them. This means that no matter what Akainu does, his magma attacks will do literally zero damage to someone with this fruit.
1 Kuzan’s Hie Hie no Mi
One Piece may not have stunning visuals like other anime, but it does have its moments, especially when Logia users are involved. Kuzan is a former admiral who possesses the Ice-Ice Fruit, which allows him to create, manipulate, and transform into ice at will.
Magma may be incredibly hot, but even Kuzan’s ice is strong enough to freeze it, as evidenced by the fact that the two fought each other for ten straight days. Kuzan may have lost that battle, but no one knows exactly how, and Akainu now has a massive scar to show for it.
