Top 40 Most Strongest One Piece Characters

 

One Piece is known for having some of the most brilliant cast in all of anime. With a wide variety of characters having their pros and cons, this show has managed to make the audience feel every type of personality in one way or another.

 

And this is why people love the cast of One Piece to the point that they can't help but compare them.

 

And one common attribute for comparison is strength. And that's what we will be focusing on today. Who are the strongest characters in One Piece?

 

Well, the following is a list of 40 of them. So you can rest assured that your favorite character will most likely be there on the list.

 

Let's hop into it!

 

 

1. Gol D. Roger

 

 

 

The man who started it all. Gol D. Roger is the Pirate who created One Piece and is known in history as the one who provoked the Pirate insurgency with his treasures in place.

 

He is known to be the Pirate King and they say that his excellence as a warrior is unmatched.

 

He was able to take care of Kozuki Oden in a single strike. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Kozuki Oden was done in by a single strike from Gol D.

 

Roger. And that's why he is ranked at the top of this list. We are yet to see him go extreme with his efforts or look back at more of his achievements.

 

However, that doesn't change the fact that he is the main character of this world.

 

 

2. Edward Newgate

 

 

 

Having the blessings of the Tremor Tremor Fruit, Edward was known to be a force to be reckoned with.

 

He is insane, not only in terms of physical strength but also in his ability to conquer his opponents.

 

His Devil fruit powers were on a completely different level. They say that by using his strength to his fullest, Edward could have enough strength and power to destroy the entire world.

 

Yup, the entire world. Nothing less. And that's why Edward is so fearsome in the series. His ability to destroy air as if it was glass is what makes him so menacing.

 

And his shockwaves can cause any disaster that he wants. No wonder he is the runner-up on this list.

 

 

3. Shanks

 

 

 

The Red-Haired Pirate Shanks has been a part of the show from the start. And many believe that Shanks, although hasn't been in extensive combat yet, has the power to destroy anyone and everyone, thanks to his Haki.

 

They say that his swordsman skills make him a Monster. And his haki allows him to combine his powers in a way that nothing can come across as an opponent to him.

 

Although Shanks is yet to show us his potential in action, there's no denying that he is a hidden gem whose skills make him beyond incredible.

 

Shanks is the one every One Piece fan should look forward to. And that's why he is at this spot on our list. A legend in himself.

 

 

4. Kaido

 

 

 

Just by looking at him, you can realize how dangerous he is. Kaido is one of the lead characters in One Piece and his strength is unreal.

 

He is known to cause havoc just by using air. That's right, just with the help of air, Kaido can cause tremors in the world.

 

That's how unreal he is. Plus, his powers reach a completely new level once he activates his Dragon Form.

 

If anyone went against that form, they are essentially done for. In this form, he can shatter castles and destroy people for good without breaking a sweat.

 

That's what makes him such a notable character in the series. And don't get me started on his speed. This man is just flashing in his regards.

 

 

5. Big Mom

 

 

 

Known for her unreal physical strength, Big Mom is at the 5th spot on our list. She is a monster with insane skills and power levels that seem to be unmatched in the series.

 

She is huge in terms of her size as a character, and her physical attacks, whether it is in the form of punches or anything else, can cause some serious damage to her surroundings.

 

That's how notoriously strong she can be. Moreover, in the anime, she is extremely agile as well, making her stand out so much more dangerous as a character.

 

All in all, Big Mom is a character that anyone and everyone should be wary of.

 

 

6. Akainu

 

 

 

Being the present Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Akainu has a lot going on for him. He is known to be one of the most dangerous ones in the Marines and his devil fruit only makes him even more lethal.

 

His Devil fruit is called Magma-Magma fruit is a logia fruit. This allows him to have his body transform into magma whenever he wishes to.

 

But that's not it. Akainu can also manipulate and create magma whenever he wants to. And using that power, he can get a hold of his opponents quite well.

 

He is against the pirates so things won't exactly work in our main cast's favor. However, he is still a force to be reckoned with in the series. Make sure you remember his name.

 

 

7. Mihawk

 

 

 

You know you are going to be on this list when your anime calls you one of the strongest Swordsmen in the entire universe.

 

Yup, that's what Mihawk is. He is one of the notable characters from the show whose fighting skills are absolutely beautiful.

 

And more specifically, his ability to handle swords is insane. He is known to be one of the best swordsmen in the realm of One Piece.

 

And that is beyond amazing. Moreover, he is known for having strong eyes and impressive composure which makes him a lot more attractive and eye-catching as a character.

 

However, the best part about his character is his ability to have his way with blades and stuff. Definitely one of a kind.

 

 

8. Dragon

 

 

 

Although we are yet to see his true strength, Dragon is said to be one of the most immensely powerful characters in the entire One Piece.

 

He is known for his use of wind. And we haven't got any word on how he uses his wind.

 

However, what we do know is that Dragon is strong as hell. He is said to be on par with Yonko which explains why he can take over the Government if he wishes to.

 

And with his ability to have his way around with the wind, Dragon can kill anyone and everyone if he wants to.

 

He is one of the brightest characters in the series who deserves a lot more recognition and character exposure in the narrative of One Piece. Let's see what the future has in store for us.

 

 

9. Blackbeard

 

 

 

Well, this guy is evil. However, he is also unrealistically strong. Blackbeard, also known as Marshall D Teach, is quite popular within the community of One Piece as he is known to be one of the most fearsome beings to ever exist in the show.

 

He was able to get his hands on Gura Gura no Mi, a fruit that allows him to create massive earthquakes.

 

If you remember correctly, Edward Newgate had this power. And so, he has been accused of stealing that power from him.

 

Regardless, Blackbeard has always been a menace to the people. And they always tried to hint at his potential to come back with various signals. However, now he is a monster on his own.

 

 

10. Kuzan

 

 

 

Focusing his powers around the ice, the next character on our list is Kuzan. He is one of the most outstanding characters in the entire series and is known for his excellence as a pirate.

 

He got his hands on Hie Hie no Mi and that fruit allowed him to get a strong grasp on the ice.

 

This way, Kuzan became a being whose strength is on a level of its own. He is known to have created some of the most groundbreaking moments in the show.

 

And with that moment in place, Kuzan has got himself across the series as the strongest Ice user. That's why he is ranked so high on our list.

 

 

11. Kizaru

 

 

 

With the power of light in his arms, the next character on our list is Kizaru. He is one of the notable beings from the show who is known for his incredible agility and strength as a character.

 

His Devil fruit Pika Pika No Mi, allows him to transform himself into the light. Using that form, he can travel distances very quickly.

 

And he can also manipulate light of his own will. Using his intelligence at times, Kizaru can blind his opponents and evade them whenever he wishes to.

 

With such a handy skill, Kizaru manages to have a name for himself in the realm of One Piece. And that's why he is ranked so high on this list.

 

 

12. Fujitora

 

 

 

Don't you dare stand against him? You will be bound to taste the soil. Why? Because Fujitora goes beyond science and takes down gravity.

 

He can have control over gravity, thanks to Gravity-Gravity fruit. This allows him to manipulate the G forces in any situation.

 

And that power is extremely handy since gravity is bound to be present everywhere. Moreover, using this surreal power, Fujitora can go up against heavy hitters as he can smash rocks and meteors in them without much concern.

 

With all these strengths and abilities in place, Fujitora becomes a man to be remembered for ages to come.

 

And that's why he is ranked here on our list. A man of value who needs more appreciation and recognition from the fandom.

 

 

13. Green Bull

 

 

 

You know he is dangerous when he can control time. Although we haven't seen him in his prime action yet, we can't deny that Green Bull will be a Monster if he goes 100%.

 

Green Bull is known to be a true monster in the series. And it is said that his physical strength is insane and unmatched.

 

Moreover, there's also a claim that Green Bull can use Haki, making him even more menacing and captivating. Being right below the Fleet Admiral, Green Bull can have a lot of control over the functioning of the Marines.

 

And as someone whose skills are second to none, he can have a name for himself in this world of One Piece.

 

 

14. Beckmann

 

 

 

He is part of the Red Hair Pirates. And as a fellow member of Shanks, his skills are bound to be unreal.

 

Beckmann is known within the series as a smart character whose strategies always lead Shanks and his team toward victory.

 

Moreover, it is said that his ability to battle his opponents under stressed conditions, makes him a refined warrior.

 

He is also the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates which means that he has been a part of the team from when it first began.

 

And so, his experience also accumulates to make him an exceptional being in the realm of One Piece. There's a reason why an elite warrior like Shanks decided to have him on his team.

 

 

15. Sabo

 

 

 

Having the power of flame under his belt, Sabo is one of the lead characters in the show. He is known for being a flame power user in the show.

 

However, he attained this power with the help of a fruit called Flame-Flame fruit. And along with this, he also has the Dragon Claw Fist technique up his sleeves, making him a sleek and strong warrior.

 

Moreover, he is known for being a versatile fighter thanks to his wide variety of attacks that he can use to take down anyone and everyone in the show.

 

He has shown his combat prowess quite a lot of times for us to realize how lethal he can be as a character.

 

And that's why he is ranked here on this list.

 

 

16. Garp

 

 

 

Garp is a monster. An absolute Monster. Why? Because he was able to have his way around anyone without the strengths of Devil fruit.

 

Yup! This brute force of nature can go up against anyone just with his raw power. And that explains why his excellence as a warrior is so recognized.

 

It was said that he was able to take down entire mountains with the help of his bare fist.

 

Think about it for a second. He can crush a freaking mountain with just bare hands. Well, there's no denying that Garp is a man whose skills are too good to be true.

 

And that's why he is so important for the storyline as well as for the audience to enjoy as they work their way with this beast.

 

 

17. Sengoku

 

 

 

Another one of the legendary warriors from One Piece is Sengoku. He is widely recognized for being a freak of nature, all thanks to his devil fruit Hito Hito no Mi.

 

This fruit is not a normal devil fruit. It is a mythical zoan-type fruit that allows Sengoku to transform himself into a giant Buddha.

 

This form is known as Sengoku the Buddha and can take down a ton of people, just with his devil fruit abilities.

 

In a battle, Sengoku has proved himself to be vital for the victory of his team and its members.

 

This is why Sengoku is ranked here on this list. It is important to know that this man can become even more dangerous if the situation calls for it.

 

 

18. Rayleigh

 

 

 

You may dismiss him as an old man. However, that doesn't change the fact that he is a freak of nature.

 

Rayleigh is one of the notable characters in the show who is recognized within the narrative as an immensely strong physical attacker.

 

And his ability to take down multiple sea kings goes on to show how incredible he is as a warrior.

 

And my man managed to do all of this just with his bare hands. Yup, only his bare hands were strong enough to take down multiple enemies.

 

Well, that's quite impressive, isn't it? Wanna know something more impressive? He was able to throw bullets with extreme strength and accuracy and cannonballs were nothing against him. Now that's something!

 

 

19. Luffy

 

 

 

Well, it's time to talk about our boy Luffy. The man who will become the next Pirate King. He is a beast whose strength is unreal in every aspect whatsoever.

 

With Gomu Goku fruit in his tummy, my man acquired the power of rubber and thus, can't be overlooked as an opponent.

 

Physical attacks don't work on him. And with the help of his conqueror Haki in place, Luffy slowly and steadily managed to become so strong that his dream of becoming the Pirate King might very well be on the horizon.

 

He may not be the strongest yet. However, he is definitely on the path to being one as soon as we might expect. This is what makes him so capable.

 

 

20. Marco

 

 

 

Known for his physical strength and agility, Marco is a man of value and strength. He was recognized as one of the most impressive warriors of his time.

 

And that's just the beginning. His devil fruit called Tori Tori no Mi, allows him to turn his own body into that of a phoenix.

 

And using this ability, he can go up against anyone as he soars high. His fighting skills are said to be focused on kick style.

 

And it is quite simple to realize how detrimental kicking is for Marco and his fights. Moreover, this man has given challenges to a lot of individuals in the series.

 

And that's what defines his strength and powers in One Piece.

 

 

21. Charlotte Katakuri

 

 

 

Kat, also known as Charlotte Katakuri, is one of the Sweet Commanders in the series. He is known for his excellence in spearmanship and his battle prowess makes him the strongest of the three sweet commanders in the show.

 

First up, he has insane strength and agility that can't be matched by almost anyone. Moreover, his incredible spearmanship makes him a warrior of his kind.

 

As someone who looks badass, Kat stands for his name and manages to deal a ton of damage to his opponents as quickly as he can.

 

And with all these attributes coming into action, Kat has made a remarkable name for himself. It won't be easy to survive if you are against him.

 

 

22. Eustass Kid

 

 

 

Eustass Kid is the Captain of The Kid Pirates and can command the entire crew if he wants to.

 

This allows him to have a wide pool of individuals willing to give up their life just on the tip of his tongue.

 

However, what makes him even more impressive are his physical abilities. His strength and resilience are said to be unrealistically high.

 

And with his ultimate fighting skills in hand-to-hand combat, Kid manages to make himself a memorable warrior against all his opponents.

 

That's why he is appreciated so much in the community. As a character, Kid has a lot more to offer to the viewers than what meets the eye.

 

And this is why he is ranked here on our list. His devil fruit makes him capable of manipulating magnetic forces.

 

 

23. King

 

 

 

This man looks like a danger in humanoid form. With his black appearance and scary design, we have King.

 

He is known to have eaten a special type of devil fruit called the Ryu Ryu no Mi devil fruit.

 

This allows him to become a pteranodon on will. And this creature is lethal on so many levels. Moreover, with his giant wings, King can fly at incredibly high speeds making his agility and evasiveness his biggest strength.

 

There's a reason why people look at him with fear in their eyes. And it is also said that he is quite impressive with fire in his full pteranodon form. All in all, King is a noteworthy warrior whose excellence is unmatched.

 

 

24. Shiryu

 

 

 

This man is known to be a psychopath in his story. And that just makes him even more dangerous as a character.

 

Shiryu is the former Jailer of Impel Down and was known for his incredible command over everyone else in Jail.

 

Although he was dethroned from his position because of his improper acts, he still managed to take down a ton of opponents all on his own.

 

And that's why he was so impressive in the storyline. Moreover, as the show progresses, we see him go insane with his speed and strength, making him a strong foe for anyone and everyone in the series. Shiryu needs more recognition from the fandom.

 

 

25. Lucky Roux

 

 

 

Although he is quite humble and fun-loving on the outside, that doesn't change the fact that Lucky Roux is quite a monster in himself.

 

Firstly, he is quite strong since he can teleport, which essentially means that he has speed covered for himself.

 

Next up, he can pause time with his pause devil fruit, making him even more dangerous as an opponent.

 

With all these factors in place, Roux happens to become quite impressive for the fandom. It's great that he is simple and light-hearted.

 

Otherwise, he could have been a formidable opponent for anyone in this world. Moreover, he is a part of the Shanks team!

 

And because of that, he has his values and rules in place, making him a lot more likable from a viewer's perspective.

 

 

26. Zoro

 

 

The green-haired swordsman needs no introduction. He is one of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates and is known for his prowess with his blades.

 

He can hit hard, really hard, as he tries to get himself across his finite goal. It is important to note that Zoro is a beast when it comes to physical strength.

 

He is shown to be lifting extreme weights while practicing which made him stronger and stronger. Moreover, he is also quite fast with his blade movements, and with all his abilities in place, he is on his way to becoming the best swordsman in the entire world.  That's why Zoro is standing here on our list.

 

 

27. Trafalgar Water D. Law

 

 

 

Dealing with his opponents in energy, we have Trafalgar law. He is known to be one of the most popular characters in the entire series.

 

And his appearance goes on to show why that's the case. But apart from his incredible self-presentation and personality, Law is also quite popular for his strength as a character.

 

He can manipulate energy to create anything. He can create an orb of energy that can harm the opponents.

 

He can create a sword that will bring down opponents all made from pure form high voltage energy. And with these extreme aspects in place, Law happens to have a lot going on for himself and his character in the narrative of One Piece.

 

 

28. Queen

 

 

 

His physical strength is no joke. And his physical appearance is portraying that. Queen is said to be one of the most notable characters in the series whose backstory as well as character composition has caught the eyes of a lot of fans in the community.

 

If we talk about his strength, he is known to have the ability to detach his neck and torso on will, allowing him to become like a snake and get a grasp on anyone in his path.

 

Not only that, it is said that Queen's physical appearance is an understatement of what he is capable of in reality.

 

In a battle, containing the Queen is nothing less than a nightmare. And that's why he is ranked here on our list.

 

 

29. Vinsmoke Sanji

 

 

 

He uses martial arts to hold his own against his opponents. However, don't even think about dismissing him just because he is using a technique so human.

 

No! He is a man with unreal skill and strength that can't be matched by anyone in the same arena.

 

Sanji was raised by Zeff and so, he faced an unrealistically tough training regiment since childhood that allowed him to become a monster on his own.

 

His agility, speed, and strength, all reached superhuman levels. And because of that, Vinsmoke Sanji had no choice but to pave his way through all of this by having himself work like hell. Just like every time, it worked.

 

 

30. Boa Hancock

 

 

 

She may be a female, but that doesn't stop her from being lethal. She is strong and beautiful and is also known as The Pirate Empress. Boa Hancock is one of the notable female characters in the show whose strength lies in her devil fruit. 

 

This devil fruit is no joke since it allows the user to transform his/her opponents into rocks. Mero Mero no Mi ensures that the opponent is petrified when hit with the attack.

 

This attack comes out in the shape of hearts and manages to grasp multiple opponents at once. The important thing to note here is that Boa is incredible with her approach as a character whose strength lies in her ability to solidify her opponents.

 

And that's why she is so impressive as a lead female. 

 

 

31. Doflamingo

 

 

 

Mr. Doflamingo ain't no little kid to be left out from this list. With his insane levels of threats to the realm of One Piece, he is bound to be a part of this train.

 

He is known as Joker in the underworld and his biggest accomplishment is the fact that he produces artificial devil fruits he calls SMILEs.

 

He uses the power of the String-String fruit which allows him to have his strings. Using these strings, he can fight any opponent and bind them with his fibers.

 

He can also manipulate humans like a puppet and play around like Spiderman if he wants to. That's how menacing he can be on the battlefield.

 

 

32. Rob Lucci

 

 

 

He isn't a simple being in the show. After all, we don't usually see characters who can transform into freaking animals on will.

 

And that's what makes Lucci stand out so much. He ate the devil fruit known as the Cat-Cat fruit which allows him to transform himself into a leopard.

 

There's no need to tell you about how incredible leopards are, on the battlefield. Moreover, with his incredible switching abilities, he can maneuver his way through the opponents and has incredible speed and agility under his belt.

 

And I can go on and on about how incredible Lucci is but I hope you get the picture. 

 

 

33. Charlotte Smoothie

 

 

 

Being one of the three commanders of Big Mom pirates, Smoothie is known to be havoc on her opponents.

 

She is said to be second in command in the crew and this allows her to have a ton of extremely strong warriors at her fingertips.

 

Moreover, the way she is known to have a bounty of 932,000,000 tells us how dangerous she can be.

 

It is also said that her tactical skills are on a level of their own. And if you blend her immense physical strength into that, yes, she is a beast on the run.

 

Moreover, it would be interesting to see if we can get more from the series concerning Smoothie.

 

 

34. Kong

 

 

 

His power doesn't exactly come from his hands but from his authority. He is said to be second to a total of 5 people.

 

Yup, only 5! And that's why he is so impressive in the anime. We are yet to see him rely on his physical strength.

 

However, there's no denying that if the situation calls for it, Kong can be a lethal opponent without breaking a sweat.

 

People would love to see more of his character. And as the story progresses, we are bound to see him appear again and have his own business placed forward in front of the other cast. Let's see how it goes.

 

He is a great character and deserves to be a regular in the series. 

 

 

35. Smoker

 

 

 

You know he is dangerous when he is just one step behind catching Luffy. The smoker is one of the notable members of the Marines whose skills are beyond incredible for his rank.

 

He is known for being extremely powerful for his capabilities. Moreover, with the help of his logia devil fruit, he becomes a force to be reckoned with.

 

He has the ability to control Smoke of his will which is quite important for evasive and stealth attacks.

 

Because of this, Smoker can stand as a supreme warrior in the show whose skills are just too good to be true.

 

There's a reason why he is ranked here on this list after all. A man of value.

 

 

36. Koby

 

 

 

He first appeared during the initial episodes of the series and managed to achieve what he wanted to after all the hardships he faced.

 

Koby is one of the notable members of the Marines whose skills are quite impressive from how he started in the first place.

 

Initially, he was under Alvida's command but later on, he separated thanks to Luffy's interference. He went ahead and chose his career as a marine and with extreme training by Garp, he managed to become a force to be reckoned with.

 

His physical strength and speed were particularly amazing thanks to the tough times he went through. This is why Koby is here on this list.

 

 

37. Rocks D Xebec

 

 

Although he is more of a myth than a person, Rocks D Xebec is still a noteworthy name for fans all around the globe.

 

He was known for having a strong reputation during his era as people claimed that he led a group of impressive Pirates.

 

Moreover, it was said that he was unrealistically strong and had a charming personality. There were also rumors that he was so strong that people looked upon him as the strongest person alive at that moment.

 

And this is why Rocks D Xebec is worthy of being on this list. Let's see if we will get a glimpse of him someday.

 

 

38. Crocodile

 

 

 

With his name being quite obvious, Crocodile is a man of value of strength for the show. He is one of the notable characters in the series and his Devil fruit is quite interesting as well.

 

He is known for having the ability to turn into sand whenever he wants to. And this makes it so that Crocodile can avoid as many injuries as possible.

 

There's a reason why people were impressed by his first appearance. Plus, if you add his strength, durability, and speed into play, you will realize how much of a monster this guy was.

 

Therefore, it would be in the opponent's best interest to not mess with him if he stands against it.

 

 

39. Urouge

 

 

 

His physique is big enough to give you a rough idea of how menacing he is as a character.

 

Urouge is known to have consumed a special type of Devil Fruit which allows him to become the Hulk.

 

In other words, the more damage you inflict on him, the more powerful he becomes. And this is because of his paramecia fruit that just makes his character stand out so much more.

 

He was a part of the fallen Monk pirates where he gained a ton of experience. And as a Captain, he was able to make a strong name for himself while he was up against his opponents. This is why Urouge deserves to be on our list.

 

 

40. Killer

 

 

 

Being the right-hand man of Eustass Kid, Killer has managed to gain a lot of strength and experience in his tenure as a pirate.

 

However, this also means that he has refined himself to be a warrior of his kind. He is known within the community for his battle against Zoro.

 

And as for someone who is against Zoro, he managed to put up a decent fight with his abilities.

 

This goes to show that Killer may not be all menacing at first. However, he can become fairly reliable if the situation calls for it. And that's what makes him worthy of this list.
