By this I mean there are devil fruits which have so far been shown to be weak , however the fruits have a lot of potential.

1. Bara Bara no Mi - Buggy the Clown
Seriously though... He's pretty much immune to slashing attacks as long as he can read attacks quickly to identify how to divide himself. He could make himself into such small pieces that he cannot be seen. His presence can be detected by Haki all around the place : causing great confusion which would make use of Kenboshoku Haki quite futile. Especially if he can make his small pieces land large impacts with Busoshoku Haki (if he can use it).

2. Magnetic Paramecia - Eustass Kidd
As of right now all we have seen him do is attract and repel metal objects. However he could do this to any object if he learns how to tamper with electro magnetic fields. This would make his devil fruit incredible for defensive uses. He may even be able to elevate islands etc. if the scale at which he can do this is humongous.

3. Bomu Bomu no Mi - Mr 5
I know this fruit actually isn't very weak. But if he could somehow detonate gunpowder which he has touched then by scattering it over objects and other people he could remotely detonate things. He could also simply create far larger explosions or even cause implosions (reverse of Explosions , far more deadly seeing as they would injure an opponent from the inside out)

4.Yomi Yomi no Mi - Brook
Since the time skip Brook has already improved his usage of the fruit as he can now detach his soul from his body.
If he can manipulate or do the same to other weaker opponents or enter opponents bodies that'd be pretty cool. Or he can intake the dead souls around him and increase in strength (Like Moriah does with his shadows)

5.Moku Moku no Mi - Smoker
If Smoker can heat his smoke up to the temperature of common fires (which I'm surprised his smoke automatically isn't) then he can burn opponents. Simply put he can become far more difficult to fight and he can nullify his large volume disadvantage as getting close to him can result in burns or heat repelling attackers.

6.Dragon Zoan - Momonosuke
The fruit can get much stronger if Momonosuke simply grows up. His Dragon form probably grows with age.

7.Mera Mera no Mi - Formerly Portgas D. Ace
If Ace could change the chemical properties of his flames to increase/decrease the burning temperature of his flames he could overcome the Magu Magu no Mi in strength. The flames would also change colour and having different colour flames serving different purposes would be pretty cool.

Hana Hana no mi I believe it's called. Robins DF could definitely be stronger.

Not really...
The fruit can't be much stronger unless she makes a giant around herself. Other than that the fruit itself can't get stronger. But Robin could if she improves her Haki. There's a difference.

The noro noro fruit couldve been better. He couldve used it to increase his own speed, he woulda been ridiculously op'd U_U

Kid, Smoker and Aces cant get much stronger imo.
However, I agree with all the others, especially Buggy.

Luffy is the perfect example of making the most out of for the most part simple fruit
he started with simple rubber punches and now he has flaming fists xD

So elevating islands isn't a long stretch from repelling cannon balls?
Burning people isn't a long stretch from absolutely nothing?

I've always thought that Mr. 5's DF held alot of potential. Too bad he didn't train it. As for Bara Bara, its really not that good for offensive purposes, unless Of course the user is physically very strong and can use Haki. But still, its(the DF itself-Haki) not really that great.
As for Eustass, his DF is too OP is used correctly. I hope he gets to that level in manga where he could even manipulate magnetic fields. You know I want him to be as strong as magneto.:rolleyes:

We cant make these assumptions.
How do you know Kid cant do that already? Have you seen his powers after the time skip?
And with Aces you are looking way too much into it.
Why cant people accept he turn into fire instead of obsessing over it?

Turning into different kinds of fire is the power up... That's it...

It depends on the user really... You see, a guy like Luffy is a fighting genius, he developed stuff and modes like GS and GT out of a normal DF...

Smoker's DF is completely nerfed he should thinking about it be able to completely destroy the insides of people's body.

Bara Bara no mi atomic splitting.. LOL.

No one ever mentions Doa Doa no Mi from Blueno?

The thing gives him a pocket dimension and the ability to make doors out of anything. Perfect for infiltration and sneak attacks. He can store cannons and such in the pocket dimension and blast away

Hana Hana no mi Has a ton of potential too. Making a giant and full on cloning is perfect. She's only demonstrated giant hands and slight cloning sadly. But cloning is very essential imo.

Also eutass' fruit is ****ing tier 1 or 0 considering the one piece verse and disregarding crazy shit like Island Busting with logias and don chinjao. He can rape ships without trying and stop the majority of characters in the series. Also from grabbing a lot of metal he matched a Gear III punch...

Mr.5's fruit held a lot of potential, too bad he didnt train properly with it.

Also, I cant see Buggys fruit becoming much stronger, its a very defense-oriented fruit. The only way I can see buggy becoming stronger is through raw strenght and Haki mastery.
