How to Get the Gum-Gum Fruit and Flame-Flame Fruit in Fortnite Treasure Hunters

The One Piece crossover in Fortnite's Treasure Hunters mini-season (update v43.00, live since November 1, 2026) puts two Devil Fruits into Battle Royale: Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit and Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit. Both are Mythic items, and eating one turns you into that character for the fight ahead. They're also the most contested loot on Crossbones Isle, because nobody can farm them from a chest or a boss. Here's how they spawn, how to be the one who grabs them, and how to get the most out of each power.

Quick answer

• The two Devil Fruits are not in chests and not dropped by bosses. They spawn during the match, together, at random points on the map.
• The game announces the spawn on screen and marks the fruits on your HUD and map, so every player in the lobby knows where they are.
• It's first come, first served. Pick a fruit up and consume it to transform – carrying it isn't enough.
• While the power is active, water hurts you.

How the Devil Fruits spawn

Unlike the week-by-week boss Mythics – A$AP Rocky's Shock Rocket on his yacht, Oscar's shotgun later in the month – the fruits aren't tied to a fixed location. Partway through a Battle Royale match, both fruits appear together somewhere on Crossbones Isle. The spot changes from match to match, so there's no "best POI" to land at and camp, and repeatedly dropping at the same location to wait for a fruit is a waste of time.

What you get instead is a race. As soon as the fruits arrive, a notification pops up and an icon shows them on your mini-map, full map and HUD. That's true for everyone, so expect other squads to be heading the same way.

How to get a Devil Fruit, step by step

1. Land, loot up and stay mobile. Since the spawn is random, you want a full loadout and healing before the fruits show up. Grab mobility if you see it – a Shock Rocket or a vehicle helps you win the race.
2. Watch for the on-screen announcement. When it appears, open your map and check the fruit marker against your position and the storm.
3. Decide quickly if it's worth the trip. If the marker is across the island or deep in the storm's path, you'll probably arrive to a fight with the squad that got there first. If it's within reach, commit.
4. Approach from cover. Everyone sees the same marker, so treat the spawn like a hot drop. Clear nearby enemies first rather than sprinting into the open.
5. Pick up the fruit and consume it. It goes into your inventory like any item; you have to use it to trigger the transformation and get the new attacks.
6. Move away from the spawn. Other players will still be arriving. Use your new power to get out or to win the fight that follows.

Both fruits spawn at the same time, so in squads it's possible for two teammates to come away with one each if you clear the area.

Using the Gum-Gum Fruit (Luffy)

Luffy's kit is about movement and close-range pressure.

• Punch: the primary attack is a rubbery punch that deals 50 damage by default. Hold to charge it for a harder hit. If you're in the air, it becomes a kick.
• Gum-Gum Rocket: aim and use the alt fire to fling yourself in the direction you're looking. Charging it sends you farther. It has a cooldown after each use, so don't burn it just to cross a field – save it for escaping the storm, closing distance or bailing out of a bad fight.

Tip: the Rocket is the reason the Gum-Gum Fruit is so strong late in a match. One charged launch can get you out of a rotation that would otherwise cost you the game. Use the punch to finish off enemies who are already weak, rather than starting long fights against players with full shields.

Using the Flame-Flame Fruit (Ace)

Ace brings ranged damage and area control.

• Fire Gun: the primary fire shoots a fast stream of flaming projectiles, roughly 30 damage per hit. It's the attack you'll use most.
• Fire Fist: charge the alt fire to throw a huge blast of flame that keeps damaging enemies in its path, with splash damage where it lands. It's on a cooldown, so line it up on players hiding behind cover or bunched together in a squad.

Tip: open with Fire Gun to strip shields, then follow with Fire Fist once targets are low or grouped. Firing Fire Fist blind into a building wastes the cooldown.

Common mistakes

• Swimming after you transform. Just like in One Piece, Devil Fruit users take damage in water. Avoid rivers, lakes and the coastline, and think twice before following a fight into the sea.
• Thinking you're invincible. The fruits change your attacks but not your health pool. Enemy weapons still do full damage, so play cover the way you normally would.
• Holding the fruit instead of eating it. The transformation only happens when you consume it.
• Landing at one POI over and over. There's no fixed spawn. Your odds are better if you play the match normally and react fast when the announcement appears.
• Racing in with no shields. The marker is public. The fruit spawn becomes a hot drop mid-match, so heal up before you push it.

Is it worth chasing?

If you're near the spawn, yes. Both fruits are Mythics with kits you won't find anywhere else – Luffy for mobility, Ace for damage. If it's a long, exposed rotation away, let the other squads fight over it and pick off whoever comes out on top. Treasure Hunters runs through November with new bosses landing every Saturday, so you'll have plenty of matches to land a fruit.
