Well there 1 option beat the shit out of someone and and do it yourself

Why is everyone jumping to jake jake no mi i mean it is random so you could end up with the tori tori no mi:model Phoenix or a logia or even the ope ope no mi

There is that small chance of getting a shit fruit, even if "it's not the fruit that's good, it's the user that makes it good" is true, it still is a shit one. You can also get an other shit one that doesn't exist.

In the words of wise lucci no devil fruit is ever useless😩😩. But to be honest they are few devil fruits that are shitty in one piece like there are probably mabye like 7+ fruits that are just useless so i am willing to take the bet on a good devil fruit

Devil fruits are risky in not only that one might get a useless one like jacket jacket, but also using it's powers can put you at risk of being targeted by authorities. Not to mention it makes you unable to swim and does not help you make more money at all.

Still, haki tho. benefit you in real life somehow, and you could get a shit one, but as shanks, he uses observation, arnament, and conquers haki and ryou haki to cancel devil fruit abilities completely. so I still go with haki.

Knowing the 3 Different types of Haki in the New World basically Makes you Invincible. You could Get a good Devil Fruit like some really rare Logia-Type but it would easily be beaten by Haki if you're not really Good at Using it.

Sheesh my luck is terrible and i dont want the human fruit- haki it is

Also haki because if you live in it could benefit you in irl and the anime. just one reason. 1. You can use conquers haki to forge a black blade like mihawk and ryuma did.

Just train 3 haki until I’ve mastered all advanced types then fight for an op devil fruit like goro goro no mi, gura gura no mi, op op no mi or pika pika no mi
