The Jiki Jiki no Mi, also known as the Magnet-Magnet Devil Fruit, stands out as one of the most formidable powers in the One Piece universe. Eustass “Captain” Kid has cemented his reputation as one of the strongest pirates of the Worst Generation thanks to this incredible fruit. Fans have long speculated about the identity of its previous user, especially as the God Valley flashback put past pirates in the spotlight. In One Piece chapter 1163, we finally unveil the mystery of the Jiki Jiki no Mi’s former wielder.
Spoilers Warning:
This article contains spoilers about the previous users of Jiki Jiki no Mi. Proceed with caution.
Who Was the Previous User of Jiki Jiki No Mi?
The Jiki Jiki no Mi is widely regarded as one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in One Piece. Presently, Eustass Kid commands this power, which significantly boosted his bounty to 3 billion berries after his victorious battle against Big Mom alongside Law. However, the enigma surrounding the previous user of this fruit has intrigued fans for quite some time.
To great surprise, Captain John from the Rocks Pirates has been confirmed as the last known user of the Jiki Jiki no Mi. Earlier chapters alluded to John’s potential connection to the Magnet-Magnet Devil Fruit when he was spotted with a metallic arm, leading to speculations about whether he was a cyborg akin to Franky.
Speculations ceased when Captain John utilized his Jiki Jiki no Mi abilities during the God Valley incident. As chaos ensued with Imu’s arrival, John opted to betray his fellow crewmates and magnetically attracted all the treasure boxes surrounding him. Regrettably, he was shot down by his own crew member, Ganzui, just moments after activating his powers. Nevertheless, it is now confirmed that Captain John was indeed the original user of the Jiki Jiki no Mi devil fruit.
The Connection Between Captain John and Eustass Kid
Eustass “Captain” Kid is believed to draw inspiration from the infamous pirate William Kidd, known as Captain Kidd. William had a father named Captain John Kidd, who was also a pirate, sparking curiosity about a potential familial link in the One Piece narrative.
While it remained unclear if they shared a blood relation, the confirmation that both characters are users of the Jiki Jiki no Mi makes the connection even more intriguing. Additionally, recall the armband Luffy gave to Buggy, which supposedly leads to Captain John’s treasure. We suspect that this armband may only resonate with magnetic forces, suggesting Eustass Kid still has a significant role ahead in the One Piece saga, even after his defeat against Emperor Shanks.
