The Shichibukai are some of the most powerful characters in the One Piece universe. Although the group is now disbanded, here is our ranking on the former members of the Corsair Captains !
Known for having the power to rival the Yonko when combined with the navy (the corsairs were one of the three great forces governing Grand Line along with the Navy and the Four Emperors), they are pirates with great authority , which is why the government asks them to work for them in exchange for a certain level of freedom.
Although this order is now disbanded, the pirates who were once part of this group had an immense strike force at their disposal. Here are all the Shichibukai known in manga history, ranked according to their strength 💪.
11. Buggy
Captain of the Buggy Pirates, he joined the ranks of the Shichibukai after the tragic events of the Marineford War. Although he was never particularly strong, Buggy always had a great reputation, whether on East Blue, or later when everyone discovered his connection to Roger and Shanks .
In terms of power, Buggy is undoubtedly the weakest known Shichibukai in the series . He holds the power of Bara Bara no Mi, however, he does nothing special with it.
However, it's a shame when we realize the potential of the Fruit of Fragmentation 🍌 that the character possesses.
10. Moria Gecko
With a bounty of 320 million berries, Gecko Moria is a pirate currently sailing the seas of the New World. Before the events of the Marineford War ended, he was part of the order of the Seven Great Corsairs and ruled the waters of the Florian Triangle 🔺 .
Moria was once a powerful pirate, but his time as captain of Thriller Bark had made him a fairly weak pirate. Although he still has a big bonus and has a name full of history, Moria may seem a level below the rest of the Schichibukai, but be careful not to underrate him.
9. Crocodile
Crocodile 🐊 was the first Shichibukai to stand in the way of the Straw Hat Pirates during the very popular Alabasta arc. He has access to the powers of the Suna Suna no Mi , which allows him to transform into sand and manipulate it as he wishes.
Crocodile is an incredibly intelligent user of his powers and is one of the few characters to have defeated Luffy more than once. Among the Shichibukai, he is undoubtedly one of those who will most mark the history of One Piece.
8. Jinbe
Also known as the " Paladin of the Seas ", Jinbe was a Shichibukai until Ace's unfortunate capture. Although his bounty was 250 million berries before it was frozen ❄, it increased to 438 million berries when he resigned from his position.
During his air as Shichibukai, he was definitely not as strong as he is now, however, he was still a good user of Fish-Man Karate and Ningyo Jujutsu 🥋 . His knowledge and experience made him someone to be wary of.
It was for all these reasons that Monkey D. Luffy felt that the Sea Paladin was a good recruit for the Straw Hat Crew.
7. Bartholomew Kuma
Also known as "The Tyrant", Kuma is a secret member of the Revolutionary Army who became a Shichibukai at some point in history. He used the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi 🐾 which allowed him to repel anything his pads touched at the speed of light.
Before the two-year timeskip, Kuma did not appear to have mastered Haki, but he was still one of the strongest characters in the story. His bounty has been frozen at 296 million berries and at present it would certainly be much higher than that, a real monster of power!
6. Trafalgar Law
Trafalgar D. Water Law, also known as the "Surgeon of Death" 💉, became one of the Shichibukai during the two years that make up the timeskip of One Piece. He obtained this title by handing over 100 pirate hearts to the government in what appears to be an event related to the Rocky Port Incident .
With the powers of the Ope Ope no Mi 🍒 , Law is certainly one of the strongest pirates in the series at the moment, however, during the time he was a Shichibukai, he had a level that was slightly weaker. However, his improvement in the use he makes of his powers allows him to take a place of choice on the list.
5. Doflamingo
King of Dressrosa 👑, Doflamingo is a former Celestial Dragon who was also a Shichibukai. He was the main antagonist of the Dressrosa arc where he was finally defeated by Monkey D. Luffy thanks to his new technique: Gear 4 .
As Shichibukai, he was extremely evil and powerful, and certainly among the strongest in the series. Doflamingo was a skilled user of all three types of Haki and had the power of Ito Ito no Mi to further increase his strength.
This fruit is among the most powerful in the world of One Piece, it offers infinite possibilities like the wire clone 🧶, or the dome it created around Dressrosa, it is also one of the only characters in the manga who was seen awakening his devil fruit at the present time.
4. Edward Weeble
Edward Weeble is the self-proclaimed son of the former Yonko, Whitebeard. Whether he is actually his son or not remains to be seen, however, something that is undeniable is the fact that he is incredibly powerful. In just two years, Weeble acquired a bounty of 480 million berries , which was frozen when he joined the ranks of the Shichibukai.
He is known for having killed several allies of the Whitebeard Pirates and furthermore, Admiral Kizaru compared his strength to that of a young Whitebeard, which speaks volumes about his abilities .
3. Boa Hancock
The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, is the Serpent Princess of Amazon Lily and the captain of the Kuja Pirate Pirates. Although the extent of his strength is unknown, Hancock is considered one of the most powerful characters in all of history, as mentioned by high-profile figures such as Sengoku ☸.
She has the powers of Mero Mero no Mi ❤ which allow her to transform all people who feel desire towards her into stone (needless to say, it works well given her character design). Additionally, she uses all types of Haki and her use of these powers is certainly very seasoned.
2. Marshall D. Teach
Marshall D. Teach was a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates who defected from the crew after killing Thatch (then commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' 4th Division). He then decided to create the Blackbeard Pirates crew, following which he managed to become a Shichibukai, this time defeating the commander of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace 🔥 .
Although he was at no point as strong as a Yonko (the 1vs1 with Whitebeard dying didn't show us a perfect tie), Teach is still impressive enough for characters like Shanks to be wary of him . His use of Yami Yami no Mi 🌌 makes him a formidable character with mysterious powers, the reason why he managed to eat a second devil fruit seems to be linked to the fruit of darkness.
1. Dracule Mihawk
Mihawk is known for being "the strongest swordsman in the world" , which directly gives him an aura of enormous power. The little he's shown fans so far suggests that he's one of the most powerful characters you can come across on the Grand Line.
Mihawk is known to be a user of at least two types of Haki , and he also wields the Black Blade Yoru . In the past, he fought the current Yonko Shanks the Redhead and the duels between his two characters are considered legendary ⚔.
The most anticipated fight in One Piece is undoubtedly the one between Dracule Mihawk and Roronoa Zoro (at least the revenge), this fight will be of capital importance for Zoro who will achieve his goal of becoming the best swordsman in the world. he manages to defeat Mihawk and his black blade Yoru.
Besides, now that we are at the end of this article on the Order of the 7 Great Corsairs is finished why don't you take a look at our blog on the following question: How Zoro lost his eye ?
