Strongest One Piece Characters

Seated on the Empty Throne that the Five Elders kneel before, Imu is the real authority behind the World Government and was first shown in chapter 906. The order that erased the Lulusia Kingdom came from that room, and Saturn was put to death in it once Egghead went wrong.

Bounty 4,048,900,000, and the only Emperor never shown losing a fight. Shanks ended the Marineford war by walking into it, and in chapter 1079 he dropped Eustass Kid, a three billion berry pirate, with one strike named Kamusari.

Captain of a crew that held Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom and Shiki at the same time, Xebec was stopped at God Valley 38 years ago by the one-time alliance of Garp and Roger. The World Government buried his name so thoroughly that Sengoku had to spell the history out decades later.

Roger's 5,564,800,000 bounty is still the highest ever issued, and he remains the only man confirmed to have reached Laugh Tale. He could hear the voice of all things, fought Whitebeard to a draw, and walked into his own execution at Loguetown while terminally ill.

Joy Boy lived during the Void Century and left an apology carved into the Poneglyph beneath Fish-Man Island, a promise Zunesha has been waiting 800 years to see kept. The name ties back to the sun god Nika, which is why Luffy's awakening panicked the Five Elders.

Awakening in chapter 1044 revealed the Gomu Gomu no Mi as the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, and Gear 5 is what finally put Kaido down. The 3,000,000,000 bounty that followed made Luffy an Emperor before he had even reached Laugh Tale.

Called the strongest man in the world, Newgate carried a 5,046,000,000 bounty and the Gura Gura no Mi, the quake power said to be capable of destroying the world. He died standing at Marineford after 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds and 46 cannonball hits, none of them in the back.

World's Strongest Swordsman is an official title, and Mihawk holds it alongside a 3,590,000,000 bounty issued once he left the Seven Warlords. His debut had him slice a galleon in half out of boredom, and he spent the timeskip training Zoro on Kuraigana.

Garp cornered Roger often enough to earn the name Hero of the Marines, and he allied with him once, at God Valley, to bring down Rocks. He refused promotion to admiral his whole career, and his last stand at Hachinosu ended with Kuzan freezing him through the chest.

Only character in the series to carry two Devil Fruits, pairing the Yami Yami no Mi with the Gura Gura no Mi taken off Whitebeard's corpse. Teach climbed from Whitebeard division member to Warlord to Emperor faster than anyone in the story, and his bounty now reads 3,996,000,000.

Titled the Strongest Creature in the world, Kaido survived 18 captures, more than a thousand tortures and 40 attempted executions before Wano. A 4,611,100,000 bounty and the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu let him haul the whole of Onigashima into the sky over the country.

King of Elbaf and Loki's father, Harald steered a nation of raiders toward standing among the world's countries instead of plundering them. His killing was pinned on his own son, which is where the Accursed Prince name comes from, and the Elbaf flashback complicates the version the giants have repeated for years.

Elbaf calls him the Accursed Prince, and Loki spent years chained beneath the giants' great tree, blamed for his own father's death. He calls himself the Sun God, a claim that reads differently now that Luffy has awakened as Nika.

Sengoku held the Fleet Admiral post through the Marineford war, and the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu turns him into a golden giant firing shockwaves from his palms. He is also the officer who finally laid out the buried history of Rocks D. Xebec.

Dragon is the most dangerous criminal alive by the World Government's own reckoning, and he has led the Revolutionary Army against it without ever showing what he can actually do. He is Luffy's father and Garp's son, and his one on-page intervention, at Loguetown, arrived as weather.

Ten days of fighting Sakazuki on Punk Hazard cost Kuzan a leg and the Fleet Admiral seat, after which he walked away from the Marines rather than serve under him. The Hie Hie no Mi can freeze open ocean solid, and it ran Garp through with ice at Hachinosu.

Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sakazuki took the post through a ten-day duel with Kuzan on Punk Hazard that left one half of the island scorched and the other frozen. The Magu Magu no Mi killed Ace at Marineford and burned straight through Luffy's chest.

Gaban sailed as one of the Roger Pirates' senior hands and stood on Laugh Tale with Rayleigh and the captain himself. Written off for decades after the crew broke up, he surfaced alive on Elbaf, which leaves him among the last Roger-era veterans still swinging.

Linlin ruled Totto Land on a 4,388,000,000 bounty and the Soru Soru no Mi, which pulls souls out of people and pours them into objects such as Zeus and Prometheus. A former Rocks Pirate, she was only removed when Law and Kid blasted her into a hole beneath Onigashima.

Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Kong outranks the Fleet Admiral and held that post himself before Sengoku inherited it. He was running Marine Headquarters back in Roger's day, with Sengoku and Garp serving under him, and he answers only to the Five Elders.

Right hand of the Pirate King and one of the few men alive who has seen Laugh Tale, Rayleigh held Kizaru off at Sabaody more than twenty years after retiring. Eighteen months of his coaching on Rusukaina turned Luffy from a Marineford casualty into a Haki user.

Light is not a metaphor for Kizaru: the Pika Pika no Mi moves him and his kicks at light speed, which is why nothing at Sabaody could react in time. Rayleigh still blocked his blade there, and Egghead set him against Gear 5 under orders he plainly disliked.

Golden Lion Shiki was the first prisoner to break out of Impel Down, sawing off his own legs to manage it. He threw an entire fleet at Roger's single ship during the Edd War, and returned via the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi as the villain of the 2009 film Strong World.

Blind by his own choice, Fujitora took his sight rather than keep looking at the world's ugliness, then entered the Marines as an admiral through the global recruitment drive. The Zushi Zushi no Mi pulls meteors out of the sky, which he demonstrated over Dressrosa.

Kaido carries exactly one permanent scar, opened across his chest by Oden during their duel in Wano. Oden served as a division commander under Whitebeard and then sailed with Roger to Laugh Tale, and he held his retainers above boiling oil for the full hour of his execution.

Revolutionary Army chief of staff, Sabo won the Mera Mera no Mi at the Corrida Colosseum and now fights with Ace's flames and a steel pipe. His 602,000,000 bounty predates Levely, where the world pinned the death of King Cobra on him.

Aramaki had not eaten in three years when he first surfaced during the Levely, sustained instead by the Mori Mori no Mi, a Logia made of forest. He walked into Wano alone after the Onigashima battle and put down both King and Queen by draining them.

Beckman ended a confrontation at Marineford by raising his rifle at Kizaru, an admiral who chose to back off rather than test the Red Hair Pirates' first mate. Shanks leans on him as the crew's tactician, and no bounty figure for him has ever been shown.

Kid shares the exact 3,000,000,000 bounty handed to Luffy and Law for toppling the Emperors at Onigashima, where his awakened Jiki Jiki no Mi crushed Big Mom alongside Law. He lost an arm to Shanks years earlier and was flattened by him again in chapter 1079.

Law wields the Ope Ope no Mi, the fruit the World Government prizes above every other for its immortality surgery, and holds a 3,000,000,000 bounty from the Onigashima alliance. His awakened K-Room helped Kid finish Big Mom, though Blackbeard broke him at Winner Island.

Santoryu carried Zoro to a 1,111,000,000 bounty and to the defeat of King, Kaido's Lunarian right hand. His Ashura strike cut Kaido deeply enough that Kaido measured the wound against Oden's, and Enma, Oden's own blade, now hangs at his hip.

Kaido's child ate the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, a mythical wolf deity of Wano, and used it to hold Kaido on the Onigashima roof while Luffy recovered. Yamato lives as Kozuki Oden, having read his journal as a child and taken the name.

Sanji's 1,032,000,000 bounty came out of Whole Cake Island, but Wano is where the Germa exoskeleton woke up and let him trade blows with Queen and win. Ifrit Jambe burns hot enough to warp what it touches, and he still refuses to fight with his hands.

Whitebeard's first division commander flies on the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, blue flames that repair him about as fast as opponents can cut him. A 1,374,000,000 bounty and a solo stand against both King and Queen on Onigashima back the reputation up.

Head of the Figarland family and the champion of the God Valley Incident, Garling led the Holy Knights before Saturn's death opened a seat for him among the Five Elders. His son Shamrock captains those knights and wears the same face as Shanks.

Alber, better known as King, is the last confirmed Lunarian, a race whose backs burn with fire and whose bodies shrug off damage while that flame is lit. A 1,390,000,000 bounty made him Kaido's right hand until Zoro worked out how to snuff the flame.

Beasts Pirates All-Star with a 1,320,000,000 bounty, Queen is a cyborg and former MADS researcher who engineered the Ice Oni virus used on Wano. The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus gives him the bulk, though Sanji outpaced him on Onigashima.

Smoothie holds a 932,000,000 bounty as one of the Big Mom Pirates' Sweet Commanders, and the Shibo Shibo no Mi wrings the liquid out of whatever she grips, living opponents included. She drinks what she squeezes to swell in size, and she led the fleet that chased the Straw Hats through Totto Land.

Big Mom's strongest Sweet Commander went undefeated with no wound on his back until Luffy, and his 1,057,000,000 bounty reflects it. Observation Haki refined into future sight plus the Mochi Mochi no Mi gave him a Logia-style body years before Luffy could answer it.

Finance is Nusjuro's portfolio among the Five Elders, and his beast form is a bakotsu, the burning skeletal horse of Edo-period yokai scrolls. He is the one Elder who fights with a sword, keeping a human upper body in hybrid form so he can keep swinging it.

Ju Peter answers for agriculture among the Five Elders, and his beast form is a vast sandworm, the odd one out beside the bird, boar and horse his colleagues become. He fights by burrowing and swallowing opponents whole rather than trading blows on the surface.

Shiryu ran Impel Down as head jailer until he was locked in his own prison for killing inmates for sport, then walked out with Blackbeard. He took the Suke Suke no Mi off Absalom, so a swordsman who once ruled Level 6 by fear now fights unseen.

Among the Five Elders, Warcury carries the title Warrior God of Justice and turns into a fengxi, the two-headed boar of Chinese myth. That shape surfaced at Egghead when the Elders shed their human forms, and he fights by charging through buildings rather than around them.

Pirate Empress of Amazon Lily and the only woman ever named to the Seven Warlords, Hancock carries a 1,659,000,000 bounty. The Mero Mero no Mi turns anyone who finds her attractive to stone, which at Marineford covered most of the battlefield.

Chief Warden of Impel Down and the man who beat Luffy outright, poisoning him to the edge of death with the Doku Doku no Mi. The breakout that followed cost him the job, and he was demoted to vice warden after 241 prisoners walked out.

The Nikyu Nikyu no Mi let Kuma launch all nine Straw Hats to separate corners of the world at Sabaody, an act Rayleigh later explained as protection. Stripped of his mind and turned into the Pacifista template, he still crossed the sea to punch Saturn in the face at Egghead.

Sir Crocodile ran Baroque Works and nearly took Alabasta before becoming the first Warlord Luffy ever beat, which took three separate fights and liquid to make him solid. The Suna Suna no Mi still shrugs off blunt force, and he now co-runs Cross Guild with Mihawk.

Sweet Commander with an 860,000,000 bounty, Cracker hides a thin body inside a towering biscuit knight built by the Bisu Bisu no Mi. Luffy could not break him by force and had to eat every soldier he produced until the dough ran out.

Born a Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo ruled Dressrosa as king for ten years while running the underworld as the broker Joker, shielded the whole time by a Warlord seat. His awakened Ito Ito no Mi turned the city itself into string before Gear 4 ended the run.

Second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and the biological son of Gol D. Roger, Ace held a 550,000,000 bounty and twice refused a seat among the Seven Warlords. He died at Marineford taking Akainu's magma fist meant for Luffy.

Warrior God of Environment, Mars becomes an itsumade, a yokai bird with a human face and a saw-toothed beak. At Egghead he was the Elder sent to silence Vegapunk's global broadcast, and the message reached the world anyway.

First fish-man ever appointed to the Seven Warlords, Jinbe now sails as the Straw Hats' helmsman with a 1,100,000,000 bounty. Fish-Man Karate lets him strike through water itself, and he stood in the middle of Marineford against opponents well above his weight.

A 3,189,000,000 bounty and a seat among the Emperors landed on Buggy almost entirely by accident, built on Cross Guild and the reputations of Mihawk and Crocodile working under his name. The Bara Bara no Mi still leaves him immune to slashing attacks, Mihawk included.

Recorded at 4,000 Doriki, the highest reading the government's scale has produced, Lucci pairs Rokushiki with the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard. At thirteen he closed out a hostage standoff by killing captors and captives alike, and he returned at Egghead with the fruit awakened.

Skypiea's self-declared god ate the Goro Goro no Mi and reached 200,000,000 volts in his Amaru form, a level nothing but rubber could ground. After Luffy beat him, the cover story followed him to the moon, where his lightning woke a whole city of automata.

Chapter 1 established the Red Hair Pirates' round officer in a single panel: mid-bite on a slab of meat, he shot a mountain bandit through the head before anyone saw him move. He remains one of the three officers Shanks keeps closest, with Beckman and Yasopp.
