We’ve all seen people fight over Devil Fruits. Marines, pirates, and even emperors have killed for just one. But the true way Devil Fruit powers are passed on is something that most fans miss unless they dig deep. This secret was never explained clearly in the anime, but it exists in the lore, and it makes these fruits even more mysterious.

The One Bite Rule Of Devil Fruits In One Piece

Here’s the secret: Devil Fruit powers are transferred the moment someone takes the first bite. After that first bite, the rest of the fruit becomes completely useless. It will still look like a powerful Devil Fruit you know, but it can no longer give powers to anyone else. So if someone else eats it afterward, they’re just eating a really weird-tasting fruit with no reward.

Even if two people bite the fruit at the same time, the power will only go to the one who swallows first. It’s not about who bites first, but who swallows the bite first. This means timing is everything, especially if more than one person tries to eat a Devil Fruit during a chaotic moment.

Devil Fruit Powers Cannot Be Shared

This hidden rule also proves one big thing: a single Devil Fruit cannot give powers to multiple people. So, all the crazy theories about splitting the fruit or sharing it among crewmates just don’t work. Even if multiple people take a bite at the same time, the first one to swallow gets its powers.

It also adds more meaning to fights and battles around Devil Fruits. Characters are risking everything for that one single chance to gain power. There’s no second shot, no leftovers, and definitely no sharing. The race for Devil Fruits in the One Piece world is truly a race for survival and power.
