The debate between Devil Fruits and Haki is one of the longest ongoing arguments in the history ofOne Piece.While some fans believe that Devil Fruits might help a lot in the final battle, others believe Haki is the key to finding theOne Piecetreasure and unraveling the secrets of the world. And most of the time, Haki has won the debate against the Devil Fruits.
However, there is one underrated Devil Fruit that might have the power to counter the effects of the different forms of Haki by attacking the very core of theOne Pieceability. This Devil Fruit might be the only one that could have challenged the power of Haki, but Eiichiro Oda evidently forgot about the said Devil Fruit, and it got lost in theOne Piecenarrative.
The name of the Devil Fruit is Horo Horo no Mi, and its powers belong to Perona, the former commander of the Wild Zombies and Surprise Zombies of Gecko Moria’s crew in Thriller Bark. Perona’s Devil Fruit is quite underrated, and its powers can attack the willpower of anyOne Piececharacter, making it lethal against the Haki abilities.
Perona’s Horo Horo no Mi is one of the most underrated Devil Fruit
Since the Thriller Bark, Perona has become one of the most significant characters, especiallybecause of her connection with Dracule Mihawkand Roronoa Zoro inOne Piece.While her Devil Fruit does not receive much attention, it is incredibly strong and underappreciated. She has the power of Horo Horo no Mi, a paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

Her Devil Fruit allows her to conjure ghosts that can drain the morale, self-esteem, and will to live off almost any character inOne Piece.They can hollow out any character’s spirit and deprive them of any kind of positive affirmation about their own self. This ability wasone of the biggest problems for the Straw Hat Piratesduring theThriller Barkarc.
And while there are other powerful abilities of Perona’s Horo Horo no Mi, the Negative Hollow technique is the most potent one. Aside from Usopp, it managed to take down almost every Straw Hat Pirate and even the Navy soldiers at the Sabaody Archipelago, thus proving itself to be one of the most underrated Devil Fruits inOne Piece.
Perona’s Devil Fruit might be able to counter Haki
AsOne Piecefans know, Haki is an incredibly mysterious ability that is manifested from a person’s willpower. This manifestation allows the characters to harness their own spiritual energy and use it according to their own convenience. Thus, it is safe to say that a person’s willpower is the central core of any kind of Haki ability inOne Piece.
As Perona’s Negative Hollow has the ability to drain the willpower of their opponents, it is possible that this ability might be able to counter the effects of Haki, making their Haki attacks useless. Although it has not been officially confirmed within theOne Piecenarrative, the logic behind the two powers makes sense in a weird way.

While the argument can be made that Haki can negate any kind of Devil Fruit power inOne Piece,if Perona’s Negative Hollow is used before the Haki ability is used, it can stop her opponent from using Haki completely. It could have been used for great plot development, butEiichiro Odaforgot about it completely.
