One Piece is one of the longest-running manga and anime series, with a fan base that never seems to decrease despite its age . Those who love pirates and anime seem to find a sense of kinship in the series that leads to long-lasting love across the many arcs and years. The fanbase's interest has never wavered, remaining faithful to the anime and/or manga. Since this series has been around for so long, you can only imagine the hundreds of characters we've met along the way. The sea 🌊 is filled with many thrilling adventures including Pirates as well as the Navy, but among all these characters, who is the strongest ? We've rounded up the best of the best to answer this question. It is with this in mind that we offer you a list of the most powerful characters 💪 from One Piece! Here is our ranking of the most talented living characters in the saga:
15. DONQUIXOTE DOFLAMINGO
Doflamingo, also known under the pseudonym "Joker" 🤡 is certainly one of the most hated New World antagonists of the entire saga! He is a member of the 7 Great Corsairs, but he was also part of the Celestial Dragons group. He has a Devil Fruit type "Paramecia" the "Ito Ito no Mi" and his greatest strengths are: deception, his Haki of Kings and his ability to manipulate people; This also gives him the air of a cunning Captain. His ability, allowing him to manipulate people like puppets , comes from his "Devil Fruit", which allows him to control humans against their will. In doing so, he was able to seal the fate of King Riku of Dressrosa when he forced him with the help of his sons to harm his own people, in order to obtain the title of King 👑 of this country!
14. CHARLOTTE KATAKURI
Charlotte Katakuri is none other than the 2nd son of Yonko Big Mom, and a Sweet Commander of her own mother's crew as well as the Minister of Flour of Wheat Island. 🌾 He also has terrifying power and a bounty of 1,057,000,000 Berrys. His main strength is his Observation Haki allowing him to see into the near future. He is also considered the strongest of the three commanders; even Capone Bégé, one of the members of the Onze Supernovae, is not at ease with his presence. His Devil Fruit power "Mochi Mochi no Mi" grants him the ability to transform into Mochi, i.e. sticky rice, 🍚 and while it sounds adorable, it has proven to be a powerful opponent during his fight against Monkey D. Luffy!
13. MONKEY D. LUFFY
It is difficult for us to ignore the next Pirate King in this TOP, we are of course talking about the Straw Hat Captain ! Although Luffy now has Gear 4 and his Snakeman form, he is not yet powerful enough to compete with the most powerful antagonists in this World. Recently, he acquired a bounty of 1,500,000,000 Berry following his victory against Katakuri but also for destabilizing the Kingdom of Big Mom. 🏝️ It is thanks to his creativity, his ambition and his devil fruit, Paramaecia type, the "Gomu Gomu no Mi" that Luffy was able to get there! Not to mention that he also has the powerful "Haki of Kings" although we don't yet know all the mysteries surrounding this Haki! He is certainly one of the people in this world best suited to becoming the Pirate King , 🤴 quite simply, because his father is none other than Monkey D. Dragon, his grandfather is the hero Garp and his name is family includes the famous letter "D". We are convinced that during our next ranking of One Piece characters, Monkey D. Luffy will be positioned on the podium!
12. ISSHO FUJITORA
Issho, also known as Fujitora, or "The Purple Tiger" 🐯 is a fearsome Admiral of the Navy. He is a 54 year old blind man with the Devil Fruit " Zushi Zushi no Mi " . Issho has a range of very powerful techniques allowing him to manipulate gravity as well as create gravitational barriers. Thanks to his mastery of his fruit, he is also able to control meteorites close to the earth! He is proficient in both Weaponry Haki and Observation Haki, which is quite common among Naval Admirals. His favorite technique is certainly "Gravito", a basic technique allowing him to modify gravity horizontally or vertically using his saber. He is also a powerful swordsman ⚔️ from the world of One Piece! It is for all these reasons that we decided to raise Fujitora to 12th place in this ranking!
11. AOKIJI KUZAN
Also known as Kuzan, Aokiji was once one of the three admirals of the Navy before teaming up with the new Yonko, Blackbeard. Although he is no longer part of the Navy, he is no less formidable. His Devil Fruit "Hie Hie no Mi" allows him to manipulate frost 🧊 as he wishes and his control is so intense that he is capable of covering several kilometers of ocean with ice in the space of a few moments. Aokiji is so powerful that he was recommended by Sengoku to become the next Chief Admiral! He unfortunately lost his duel against Akainu 🔥 in order to obtain this title. His devil fruit also allows him to move quickly across the sea by freezing the water beneath his feet. This is why, although he has a devil fruit, he does not fear water!
10. DRACULE MIHAWK
Dracule Mihawk, also known by the alias Hawkeye , is one of the powerful characters we saw early in the series. He is considered the greatest fencer 🤺 to have lived in this world, a title he retained throughout the series! He's a Shichibukai with a hitherto unknown bounty! It is not without reason that Mihawk is present in this ranking; his superhuman physical abilities and sword technique have made him an incredibly powerful master swordsman . ⚔️ At the start of the saga, he was able to beat Zoro using a simple dagger that he usually used as a table knife. Subsequently, Mihawk will become Roronoa Zoro's master, because he detected immeasurable potential in him! This is why you must prepare to see Zoro appear in our next TOP!
9. MONKEY D. GARP
Monkey D. Garp also known as " The Navy Hero " or "Garp the Hero". If these names don't mean anything to you, you must have missed a few episodes of the One Piece saga, because he is actually the grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy and the father of Monkey D. Dragon! 🐉 He is a Navy instructor who was previously Vice Admiral. He owes his title of "Hero of the Navy" to having defeated the Rocks Pirates with the help of Gol D. Roger. According to our information, Garp would be 78 years old and measured 2m87! He owes his strength and fame to his efforts, because he does not have a Devil Fruit ! 🍈 He is nevertheless capable of manipulating the different forms of Haki in the same way as the Admirals. Garp is also responsible for his own fleet of soldiers and must have years of combat experience, so much so that we can consider him one of the strongest members of the Navy we have seen so far in the series. This man can literally throw a cannonball with his own hands. It's not for nothing that Gol D. Roger was his biggest rival!
8. SENGOKU
Sengoku was the former Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy before he resigned from his post! It is also known as "Sengoku the Buddha" due to its Mythical Zoan type devil fruit, the "Hito Hito no Mi Daibutsu" which means Giant Buddha! He is now an inspector general of the Navy. ⚓ He is a long-time friend of Monkey D. Garp, the adoptive grandfather of Ace of the Fiery Fists! He is renowned for his tactical skills backed by years of training and military experience. In addition to having privileges and skills very similar to those of Garp, his devil fruit " Giant Buddha " 🌟 is incredibly powerful! It is also his devil fruit that gives him immeasurable strength that few Pirates can come up against. By the way, do you know that Sengoku raised Don Quixote Rocinante?
7. BORSALINO KIZARU
Borsalino is a powerful Admiral of the Navy , who is also known as Admiral Kizaru or simply "The Yellow Monkey". 🐵 He is the only Admiral of the Navy who will remain in post following the 2-year ellipse. Kizaru is not just another Navy Admiral, he is also considered one of the greatest fighters in the Navy and the World Government! He is so powerful that he is able to hold his own in 1vs1 against the former Yonko, Whitebeard! Borsalino Kizaru has a "Logia" type devil fruit named "Pika Pika no Mi" which means Luminescent Fruit . ⚡ Using his fruit, Kizaru is able to move at the speed of light, shoot laser beams or materialize a sword of light! Kizaru is actually a very versatile fighter as well as a very dangerous enemy! Although Silver Rayleigh is not part of this TOP, know that Kizaru is capable of facing this powerful monster!
6. MONKEY D. DRAGON
Father of Monkey D. Luffy himself, Dragon 🐲 is definitely one of the strongest and most mysterious people we've ever seen in the series. This guy is so influential in the series that his nickname is literally " Dragon the Revolutionary " and he leads his own revolutionary army. He is also considered the most wanted man in the world by the World Government, which is why we know he wields incredible power! But also certainly, because its sole objective is to overthrow the current World Government! We are sure of only one thing about him, he is indeed the father of Monkey D. Luffy! Although the One Piece saga has been around for over 20 years, we still don't know about the Dragon Devil Fruit ! 🍈 But from what we have seen, it seems that this powerful Revolutionary is actually capable of controlling the weather and therefore possesses meteorological power! Just like Tornado in the X-Men, he would be capable of creating tornadoes, lightning, but also of creating rain. Monkey D. Dragon would also possess the Haki of Kings according to Ivankov during the War at Marineford arc!
5. BIG MOM
The penultimate arc of the One Piece anime brought us shoulder to shoulder with the crew of the most famous Yonko, Big Mom. Also known as Emperor Charlotte Linlin . 👸 This woman manages the powerful country of Totto Land and she is also the antagonist of the Tougato Arc. It is difficult to precisely estimate Big Mom's bounty, but we know that it is around Berrys' 3,000,000,000! She runs her own crew, and the majority of the top brass are actually her own children. Indeed, according to our information, Big Mom would have had 43 husbands with whom she would have had 39 daughters and 46 sons! 👼 If you thought Katakuri and Smoothie were powerful, wait until you see their mom. Without Haki, her skin is very difficult to damage, making her difficult to defeat. She also has the power of the Paramecia type "Soru Soru no Mi" devil fruit which allows her to interact directly with souls and therefore with people's lives! She is also capable of transferring her same souls within non-animate objects or bodies, these animate objects are called Hoomies and live mainly on Totto Land. 🏝️
4. SHANKS
Luffy's mentor, Shanks clearly deserves a place in the top five most powerful characters in One Piece. Also known as "The Redhead", he is one of the Four Emperors of One Piece. He is therefore a Yonko in the same way as Kaido, Big Mom or even Blackbeard. Shanks is the captain of the Roux Pirates . As a former member of Gold D. Roger's team, he has extensive experience in the New World . The most important of these powers is certainly his Haki of Kings. 👑 Only one person in 1,000,000 holds this power according to our information. Shanks' bounty is estimated at 4,048,000,000 Berrys 💰.
3. KAIDO
Hundred Beasts Kaido is the captain of the Hundred Beasts crew, 🐲 known as the "most powerful creature in the world", so deserves a prominent role on this list. If the name isn't a tell-tale clue, the fact that he's a Yonko should be. His strength and endurance are certainly his greatest strengths. Kaido is so strong that it is very difficult to hurt him. 🩸 Currently Kaido occupies the country of Wano! He is also a former Pirate of the famous Rocks crew , and he has a “Mythical Zoan” type devil fruit and a bounty of 4,611,100,000 Berry!
2. BLACK BEARD
Blackbeard , also known as Marshall D. Teach , is the Admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates. Blackbeard is the last Yonko, and he is also a former Pirate of Whitebeard's crew! It belonged to the Yonko 2nd Fleet, under the control of Portgas D. Ace. Blackbeard is an exceptional antagonist, because he is the only man in the saga who was able to assimilate two devil fruits. (which is normally impossible) The first fruit is the "Yami Yami no Mi" which is the fruit of darkness, while its second fruit is the powerful "Gura Gura no Mi" the fruit of Tremor. 🌍 These 2 devil fruits make him a powerful and respected man on the seas of the New World! Thanks to his two devil fruits, his destructive power is completely crazy! He will be able to face any opponent that comes his way in the future! He also has the fastest evolution of Prime 💰 known to date within the saga. It went from a bonus of 198,200,000 B to 2,445,800,000 Berrys! Not to mention the fact that he allied himself with Kuzan. It is for all these reasons that Blackbeard fully deserves 2nd place in this ranking!
1. SAKAZUKI AKAINU
We finally arrive at first place in our TOP! Akainu Sakazuki is the Admiral and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Navy . ⚓ He has a “Logia” type devil fruit which is the “Magma Fruit”. Although we placed him number 1 in our top, it is extremely difficult to separate him from the 4th Yonko Blackbeard. Quite simply, because these two antagonists are considered incredibly strong! Let's hope we have the chance 🍀 to see a fight between the opponents soon so we can determine a winner! Although Akainu has exceptional mastery of his fruit, he also has enormous influence on the world as the supreme leader of the Navy, which is why we decided to position him first in this TOP. 🥇 In reality, he will certainly be one of the biggest obstacles for the Straw Hat crew to overcome !
