Objectives and Organization

Objectives

• Ultimate collection goal: Obtain every Devil Fruit in the world 15.
• Initial priority: Gather as many unclaimed fruits as possible and rapidly increase the organization’s strength 15.
• Artificial fruit supply: Acquire the means to produce Artificial Devil Fruits, first by approaching Vegapunk and later by securing Caesar’s cooperation 41 43 50.
• Freedom for devils: Big Eye describes the organization’s ideal as creating a world where devils can be truly free 41.
• Continued recruitment: Dimon later reiterates that collecting fruits through every available channel and increasing membership remain the organization’s most important tasks 62.
• Haki development: All members are ordered to master Haki, with Bethany’s abilities incorporated into their training 62.
• Acquisition funding: Sky Island gold is sought to finance Devil Fruit purchases; Samael and Bethany subsequently offer Doflamingo gold worth approximately one billion Beli as a deposit 62 67 71.
• Blood collection: The organization gathers blood from powerful individuals. Sengoku suspects a connection to Artificial Devil Fruit research, while documented uses include stronger Longevity Wine and Vegapunk’s commissioned reproduction of Nika’s fruit 87 93 97 100.

Leadership and Titles

• Dimon holds supreme authority. Mammon’s loyalty is built into his nature, and even the unruly Samael obeys Dimon’s direct orders 15 39 44.
• Sin titles mark elite members. Dimon intends to award them to devils whose strength reaches the “Admiral-Emperor level” 15.
• Untitled members serve beneath the officers. Samael explicitly distinguishes his official title from Big Eye’s ordinary membership 40.
• Outsiders are not categorically excluded. Although conceived as an organization of devils, Dimon considers admitting outsiders as outer members and later invites Vegapunk to join. Nami subsequently becomes a human member 27 43 84 88.
• The name does not confirm seven existing officers. Greed, Wrath, Lust, and Envy are the explicitly identified titles in the documented events. Ain describes a seven-Sin hierarchy, while outsiders repeatedly infer seven active officers from the organization’s name 15 41 45 46 84 113 119.
• Big Eye leads the ordinary members. Ain’s explanation to Nami places the Lord above the Seven Deadly Sins, followed by ordinary members led by Big Eye as captain, with Nami below them 84.
• Assignments remain flexible. Dimon considers the organization too small to require rigid personnel arrangements and allows members to be reassigned according to the mission 62.
• Strength alone does not guarantee admission. Dimon rejects Douglas Bullet’s offer to join, explicitly stating through Ain that Bullet is unqualified for reasons unrelated to combat strength 92.
• The Lord publicly treats his followers as expendable. During his communication with Marine Headquarters, he says that he does not care if Samael, Sigma, Bethany, Lycaon, and Big Eye are lost 108.

Members and Supporting Personnel

Big Eye’s Identity

• Big Eye is both a real member and Dimon’s public cover. Dimon uses the name while wielding the Storyboard Fruit’s power, instructing Mammon to identify his apparent attacker as “Seven Deadly Sins, Big Eye” 27 28.
• The wanted figure is a cloaked, masked man associated with spatial powers and a Black Blade; the actual Big Eye can inhabit other vessels, including a paper airplane 31 41 45.
• This arrangement keeps the identity of the organization’s “Master” concealed from investigators 34 45.
• The Lord’s own wanted poster contains no photograph, instead displaying a symbolic, defiled idol hanging upside down from a cross 81.
• Nami initially recognizes Dimon as the wanted Big Eye. Hancock likewise notices that Sigma obeys the masked man despite Sigma’s officer status and resolves to uncover his identity 84 100.
• At Marine Headquarters, Big Eye’s apparent abilities expand to include a towering stone form and a Pentagram Summoning Circle, prompting renewed scrutiny from the Marines and Imu 119 120.

Ain’s Identity

• The organization’s Ain is distinct from Zephyr’s human student of the same name. During the Punk Hazard operation, the organization’s Ain transmits Dimon’s orders while the Marine Ain fights and withdraws alongside Binz 40 41 42.
• Ain tells Nami that he has been beside her despite remaining unseen and expresses no interest in humans. He serves as the organization’s unobtrusive communications presence rather than a conventional visible crew member 84.

Abilities and Resources

Animation

Dimon creates the organization’s devils by bringing Devil Fruits to life 1 11 27 41.

• Animated fruits possess individual personalities and may retain memories of previous users 11 12 41.
• Their forms differ: Mammon appears humanoid, Samael remains living flame, and Sigma manifests as a dragon 1 11 41.
• An animated fruit can inhabit Dimon, allowing him to use its abilities 12 27.
• Sigma’s artificial origin leaves Dimon uncertain whether he could be reborn after death like Samael and Mammon 41.
• Ain explains that devils do not possess the human concept of gender, even when their appearances resemble human men or women 48.
• Dimon can attempt to influence a new devil’s appearance with instructions, but the result is not guaranteed. His request that a fruit follow a portrait of a young woman instead produces the wolf youth Lycaon 56.
• Animation also extends beyond fruits and weapons to a teleportation circle. Dimon transforms the Holy Knights’ intact circle into a wisp of golden light during the Heavenly Tribute operation 77.
• Outsiders do not initially understand Animation. Sengoku instead theorizes that the organization possesses a technique allowing new users to develop Devil Fruit powers to an advanced level almost immediately 61 118 120.

Combat Power

• Mammon: Mythical Zoan transformations, an awakened form, Darkness Realm, Haki, and the ability to provide Longevity Wine 2 38 42 44.
• Samael: Logia elementalization, flame clones, Fire God Form, and large-scale explosive attacks. His awakened Demon Fire: Infinite Hell permanently alters Punk Hazard’s climate and terrain. He can hold off Kizaru in direct combat 12 30 40 43 44 55.
• Sigma: Dragon transformation, Bolo Breath, and control over flames, storms, lightning, and hail. He also demonstrates awakened Flame Clouds and confronts Sengoku at Marine Headquarters 42 44 63 118 119.
• Lycaon: An awakened wolf-like form exceeding eight meters in height, black Flame Clouds, and Armament-coated claws. Magellan and Shiryu are unable to break through his defenses during the Impel Down raid 74 118.
• Bethany: Fragrances that manipulate perception and bodily functions. Her techniques can incapacitate groups without an obvious battle, conceal her presence, or turn affected humans into berserk fighters 57 71 75 93.
• Kuranos: Eight-headed Mythical Zoan powers. Identified heads include Water, Poison, Lightning, Bone, Calamity, Devouring, and Flame. Their abilities encompass floods, corrosive venom, weather control, exceptional skeletal strength, mental corruption and curses, and elemental absorption and reflection 113.
• Shusui: Independent sword attacks capable of piercing Cracker and intercepting Zephyr. Its Haki comes from the power accumulated through generations of wielders, which Animation allows it to release through its own will 21 30 43.
• Dimon: Combines inhabited fruit powers with his own training. He possesses Conqueror’s Haki by the Amazon Lily operation and later uses spatial distortion and an awakened Black Box against Saint Saturn 100 122.

Spatial and Intelligence Support

• Storyboard manipulation: Big Eye’s power divides visible reality into frames and rearranges events. Strong Haki, stamina expenditure, and competing spatial powers can limit it 27.
• Confinement: Storyboard spaces trap enemies and secure prisoners. Garp breaks his confinement with Conqueror’s Coating, while Zephyr and Sentomaru struggle to escape theirs 31 39 43 44.
• Transport: Close-Up Storyboard connects distant locations, allowing Dimon to move between Sabaody and Punk Hazard 39 44.
• Communications and surveillance: Ain conveys orders across separated teams and tracks Marine movements through Listening to All Things 34 39 42.
• Thought Wave tracking: Ain can establish coordinates through a remote communication, as demonstrated when locating the Kuja after contacting them 98.
• Summoning marks: Marks derived from the animated circle allow holders to summon one another across unlimited distance. Nami’s mark does not confer the immortality associated with Imu’s Contract 77 84.
• Battlefield deployment: The Pentagram Summoning Circle allows the organization to bring officers directly into an ongoing battle, including Sigma’s arrival against Sengoku at Marine Headquarters 118 119.
• Concealment: Bethany can manipulate nearby observers’ senses and blind Surveillance Den Den Mushi, enabling covert meetings with Mammon and Vegapunk 93 97.
• Known spatial vulnerability: During the Dressrosa withdrawal, Big Eye discovers that the mirror power used for the Charlotte hostages’ escape has bypassed his Storyboard Lockdown 55.
• Surveillance limitations: Tsuru reasons that the Lord cannot observe everything. Sengoku proposes employing Mammon and Lieutenant Commander Orisbon as counters to his surveillance and eavesdropping, unaware of Mammon’s allegiance 108.

Equipment and Supplies

• Wave-Breaking Warrior — Main vessel, equipped with a punishment room used to hold Lola. Ain’s wind can greatly accelerate its voyages 20 56.
• Black Blade Shusui — Great Grade Sword formerly wielded by Shimotsuki Ryuma 20.
• Seastone restraints — Used to secure Cracker after his capture 32 38.
• Longevity Wine — Dimon’s private stock; a diluted portion is used to keep Cracker alive. A later batch made from Hanafuda’s blood proves far more powerful than the mass-produced version, although repeated use eventually reduces its effect on Dimon 32 44 87 97.
• Dressrosa Eternal Pose — Purchased to guide the team to the hostage exchange 35.
• Sky Island gold — Pursued as purchasing capital; gold bars worth approximately one billion Beli are subsequently offered to Doflamingo as a Devil Fruit deposit 62 67 71.
• Blood samples — Obtained from powerful targets, including Hanafuda, prisoners in Infinite Hell, Luffy, and Hancock. Hancock is coerced into supplying at least 500 cc each month 87 93 97 100.
• Nidai Kitetsu — Stolen by Dimon from Tenguyama Hitetsu’s home in Amigasa Village, marked, and sent to the Wave-Breaking Warrior 114.

Bethany’s Support Techniques

History

Founding and Marine Infiltration

Dimon conceived an organization composed of devils while in Sleepy Town. After defeating the Isaac Pirates and rescuing Colonel Ed, he formally founded the Seven Deadly Sins and named Mammon its Greed. Rather than enlist himself and risk a background investigation, he sent Mammon into the Marines with Ed’s assistance 15.

Mammon’s assignments were to locate Punk Hazard or obtain a means of contacting it, learn Haki, and eliminate Ed if he threatened to betray them. Garp later arranged for Mammon to study under Zephyr, giving the organization both Haki training and an opportunity to enter Punk Hazard openly 15 36 38 39.

Thriller Bark and the Charlotte Hostages

Samael attacked Thriller Bark while searching for Lola, defeated Moria, and recovered Shusui at Dimon’s instruction. He brought Lola aboard the Wave-Breaking Warrior and imprisoned her as leverage against Charlotte Linlin 18 19 20.

When Linlin rejected the ransom demand, Dimon anticipated retaliation and ordered Samael to capture any approaching Sweet Commander alive. Cracker subsequently attacked at Sabaody, where Samael and Shusui defeated him 22 29 30 31.

Sabaody Exposure

Dimon staged an attack on Mammon under the identity Big Eye, preserving Mammon’s Marine cover while introducing the Seven Deadly Sins to Marine intelligence. Sengoku dispatched Garp to investigate the previously unknown organization 28.

Dimon then trapped Garp’s airborne warship long enough for Samael to escape with Cracker. Although Garp broke the confinement, the delay allowed the group to withdraw, and he did not uncover Mammon’s allegiance 31 32.

Punk Hazard Raid

Mammon accompanied Zephyr to Punk Hazard while the other members approached separately. Samael began the assault ahead of schedule, Ain disabled surveillance, and Dimon entered the institute to seize and animate the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit 39 40 41.

The resulting devil, Sigma, fought Mammon to maintain the latter’s cover. Their battle ended with Mammon deliberately accepting serious injuries and appearing to fail in his defense of the institute. Meanwhile, Dimon unsuccessfully invited Vegapunk to join, and Samael’s awakening devastated the island 42 43 44.

The destruction prompted the Five Elders to order retaliation and new bounties. They feared that the organization could rival an Emperor’s force and disrupt the Grand Line’s balance of power 45.

Dressrosa Dealings

The group arranged to exchange Lola and Cracker for Devil Fruits on Doflamingo’s territory, rejecting Perospero’s invitation to conduct the deal at Whole Cake Island. By the voyage to the New World, the agreed ransom was described as two Devil Fruits 34 38.

In Dressrosa, Samael demanded Artificial Devil Fruit production from Caesar. Doflamingo offered to manage production and sell genuine fruits, while Dimon considered obtaining Sky Island gold to fund purchases. When Perospero, Smoothie, and Katakuri arrived, the Seven Deadly Sins directed them to Green Bit for the exchange 50.

The Charlotte Family attempted a rescue operation. Sigma intercepted Mont-d’Or, who nevertheless reached the Wave-Breaking Warrior and was trapped in Big Eye’s spatial cage. Big Eye revealed that he knew about the plan and the Mirror-Mirror Fruit user waiting in Dressrosa. Ain then warned that Kizaru was approaching, prompting Dimon to order an immediate withdrawal 53.

Samael held off Kizaru while his clone delivered two fruits to Big Eye. Lola and Cracker were released and escaped through Mont-d’Or’s mirror, whose operation bypassed Big Eye’s Storyboard Lockdown. The ship departed toward the Red Line, while Dimon ordered the recuperating Mammon to obtain a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. Dimon later noted that one of the two acquired fruits had been stolen at the last minute 55 62.

Samael eventually withdrew at Dimon’s command. Kizaru privately considered the Seven Deadly Sins a possible fourth major power of the Grand Line. Morgans subsequently fabricated a sensational report claiming that Kizaru had fled in panic; this was not an accurate account of the battle 59 60.

Expansion and Sky Island Operations

The organization added Lycaon and Bethany after acquiring the Dressrosa fruits. Dimon’s attempt to prescribe Lycaon’s appearance from a portrait failed, while Bethany’s scent abilities supplied a broad range of support and infiltration functions 55 56 57.

Lycaon later exterminated the One-Eyed Pirates at Dimon’s command, and the group took their loot. Dimon then established three priorities: obtain more fruits and members, master Haki, and collect gold from Sky Island 60 62.

Sigma, who had become lost after Dressrosa, returned with the unconscious Shichibukai Hanafuda. During that encounter, he demonstrated awakened Flame Clouds. Hanafuda’s blood later became the basis of a stronger batch of Longevity Wine 63 87.

On Sky Island, Lycaon remained to protect the ship while the others split up. Sigma and Bethany encountered Enel while seeking gold. Bethany briefly stopped his heart, but he revived himself with electricity and continued fighting; her illusions also caused him to mistake an apparent attack on her for a successful killing blow 67 68 69.

Samael and Bethany subsequently visited Doflamingo with gold bars worth approximately one billion Beli as a deposit for Devil Fruits. They also sought information about the Heavenly Tribute 71.

Heavenly Tribute Robbery and the Holy Knights

The World Government used a Devil Fruit aboard a Marine vessel as bait. Bethany infiltrated the ship, identified the trap, and warned Ain, but Dimon chose to pursue the fruit anyway. Saint Manmayer Gunko arrived through a pentagram circle and confronted Bethany, whose illusions and fragrances disrupted the operation and turned Marines into berserk fighters 75.

Sigma intervened to extract Bethany, while other members fought the government forces. Amid the burning wreckage, Dimon animated the Holy Knights’ teleportation circle, obtaining a new means of long-range deployment 76 77.

The Seven Deadly Sins escaped with the Box-Box Fruit. After crossing the Calm Belt into the East Blue, Dimon animated it into Chaos, the eighth devil. The failed government operation and successful Heavenly Tribute robbery led to new bounties, including a three-billion-Beli bounty for the unidentified Lord 79 81.

Nami’s Recruitment and Blood Acquisition

Dimon recruited Nami and placed a golden summoning mark on her lower abdomen. She was allowed to remain in Cocoyasi Village and call upon the organization when needed, while agreeing to assist when summoned. Ain explained the hierarchy to her, and Dimon departed with Lycaon after ordering the spoils collected 84.

The organization continued acquiring resources beyond ordinary fruits. Mammon supplied stronger Longevity Wine made from Hanafuda’s blood, and Dimon went to Alabasta seeking the royal mausoleum’s Poneglyph for its extraordinary durability. In return for Cobra’s cooperation, he identified Crocodile as the source of Alabasta’s drought 87 88.

Impel Down Raid and Artificial Nika Project

Bethany and Lycaon participated in an infiltration of Impel Down. Lycaon fought Shiryu and Magellan, while Bethany reached prisoners in Infinite Hell and collected blood. Douglas Bullet offered to join in exchange for his release, but Dimon rejected him as unqualified. Bullet nevertheless escaped during the incident and seized a warship 91 92 93 118.

The Marines interpreted the blood collection as possible support for Artificial Devil Fruit research. Sengoku recalled Aokiji and Akainu from the New World, while Bethany covertly contacted Mammon aboard a Marine ship bound for Mary Geoise 93.

Bethany later brought Luffy’s blood to Vegapunk, identifying it as a sample from the current Sun God, Nika. She concealed their meeting from surveillance and obtained Vegapunk’s agreement to produce an Artificial Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, within three months. Vegapunk stated that he could not mass-produce it 97.

Dimon and Sigma also visited Amazon Lily. By threatening to expose Hancock’s past enslavement by the Celestial Dragons, Dimon forced her to provide at least 500 cc of blood every month. He abandoned his proposal to mark her after seeing her distress at the prospect of another brand. Hancock subsequently resolved to unmask him and find leverage of her own 99 100.

The Lord’s Challenge and Envy’s Appointment

The Lord contacted Marine Headquarters from an unknown location and disclosed that Devil Fruits could be used to lure out his followers. He confirmed the organization’s collection objective and said that preparing more fruits would attract more fighters, while professing indifference to the loss of named members 108.

Separately, Marco used the World Economy News Paper to invite the Seven Deadly Sins to discuss an unusual fruit. Dimon sent Samael and Sigma to retrieve Yamata no Orochi from the Whitebeard Pirates, authorizing force if necessary and providing Longevity Wine as a gift if the pirates agreed to trade. At Wave Tide Island, Sigma claimed that the wine could restore Whitebeard’s youth 111.

Dimon subsequently animated Yamata no Orochi, named him Kuranos, and granted him the title Envy. Kuranos chose a human appearance out of devotion to his creator 113.

Marine Headquarters Assault

The Marines prepared an overt trap with three Devil Fruits, initially planning for the three Admirals to carry them. CP0 delivered the fruits in locked chests fitted with explosive safeguards. Ain informed Dimon of the plan while he was in Wano acquiring Nidai Kitetsu 114.

During the ensuing attack on Marine Headquarters, Kuranos fought in the inner bay, while Big Eye used a Pentagram Summoning Circle to bring Sigma into battle against Sengoku. Sigma sent Samael to reinforce Kuranos after mentioning Kizaru’s presence. Tsuru and Momousagi also confronted Big Eye, who transformed into a towering stone man 118 119.

The Five Elders reported the organization’s use of a summoning circle resembling Imu’s power. Imu watched the live battle and ordered them to reinforce Headquarters and capture at least one member alive 119 120.

The assault on the inner bay served as a diversion from the Devil Fruit chests in the officers’ residential area. Dimon confronted Saint Saturn, dismembered him with an awakened Black Box, and took the second chest. Saturn’s Evil Eye failed against Dimon’s spatial distortion. Although Saturn regenerated through his Contract and called for assistance, Dimon had already left to search for the third chest. The other Elders prioritized capturing Envy over recovering the fruits 122.

Bounties

External Relationships

• Marines — Investigation targets and infiltration victims. Mammon maintains his Marine identity despite participating in the organization’s operations. After the Lord explicitly reveals the effectiveness of Devil Fruit bait, the Marines prepare a three-fruit trap that leads to the battle at Headquarters 28 32 44 108 114 119.
• World Government / Five Elders — Enemies following Punk Hazard’s destruction; regard the group’s unknown leader and powerful officers as a major strategic threat. The conflict escalates through the Heavenly Tribute robbery and the Elders’ intervention at Marine Headquarters 45 79 119 122.
• Imu — Initially dismisses the organization as another transient religious faction. Its use of a Pentagram Summoning Circle resembling Imu’s power prompts direct interest and an order to capture at least one member alive 119 120.
• Holy Knights — Participate in the Devil Fruit trap during the Heavenly Tribute operation. Gunko confronts Bethany, while Dimon appropriates their teleportation circle through Animation 75 76 77 79.
• Big Mom Pirates — Hostile negotiating partners. The Seven Deadly Sins hold Lola and Cracker for ransom, while Perospero plans to lure the group into an ambush. The hostages are eventually released after the organization secures two fruits and withdraws during Kizaru’s intervention 33 34 50 53 55.
• Donquixote Doflamingo — Exchange host and supplier contact for real and Artificial Devil Fruits. His investigations initially uncover no history of the organization. Samael and Bethany later bring him a billion-Beli gold deposit and seek information about the Heavenly Tribute 34 50 71.
• Vegapunk — Recruitment target who refuses Dimon’s invitation; later reports the raid to the Five Elders. Subsequently agrees in secret to make an Artificial Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, from the blood supplied by Bethany 43 45 97.
• Caesar M. Clown — Artificial Devil Fruit researcher whom Samael demands produce fruits for the organization 50.
• Gecko Moria — Enemy defeated and driven from his castle during Samael’s search for Lola 18 19.
• Hanafuda — Shichibukai captured by Sigma; his blood provides material for stronger Longevity Wine 63 87.
• Enel — Opposes the organization’s pursuit of Sky Island gold and fights Sigma and Bethany 67 68 69.
• Douglas Bullet — Rejected would-be recruit encountered during the Impel Down raid. His subsequent escape increases Marine concern over the incident 92 93.
• Boa Hancock / Kuja Pirates — Coerced blood suppliers rather than voluntary allies. Hancock seeks to discover the masked Dimon’s identity and escape his control 98 99 100.
• Whitebeard Pirates — Negotiating partners over Yamata no Orochi. Samael and Sigma visit with Longevity Wine as a prospective gift, though Dimon authorizes force if necessary 111.
• Morgans / World Economy News Paper — Publicize the organization’s activities. Morgans invents a report of Kizaru fleeing Dressrosa and warns his reporter not to provoke the Seven Deadly Sins; Marco later uses the newspaper to contact the group 60 111.
