One Piece has been ongoing for over 20 years and is undoubtedly one of the most popular manga and anime. It is not surprising because Eiichiro Oda created an incredible world with huge oceans and many mysterious islands. But of course, this world would not be so interesting without characters, of which there are fortunately enough. Many of them have unique Devil Fruits and Haki, making it difficult to determine the strongest. Therefore, we tried to collect the top 10 strongest One Piece characters of all time based on our opinion.
10. Dracule Mihawk
Our top is opened by a character who has the title of Strongest Swordsman in the World. Even though he does not use the Devil Fruit powers, he can rival Shanks in strength. During the 2-year time-skip, he trained Zoro, thanks to which he became much stronger. At the time of writing this article, Mihawk is one of the heads of the Cross Guild.
9. Monkey D. Garp
Speaking about the strongest characters in One Piece, one cannot help but remember Hero of the Marines. Garp is 78 years old, but that doesn’t reduce its power. In his youth, he was one of the few marines who could fight Roger on equal terms. They clashed in deadly battles more than once, which is why they became something like friends. He also doesn’t use Devil Fruits. But physical strength and mastery of three types of Haki allow Garp to be one the strongest men.
8. Monkey D. Dragon
Dragon is the dark horse in One Piece, as he has appeared multiple times and has shown no fighting ability. However, several facts prove his great power. Firstly, Dragon is the son of Monkey D. Garp, which means his physical abilities are very high. Secondly, he is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, which fights against the World Government. Thirdly, he has the title World’s Worst Criminal. Therefore, he must be no weaker than the Emperors.
7. Monkey D. Luffy
Luffy is the main character, and therefore, quite a lot is known about his strength. In short, he is one of the most dangerous people for the World Government, as he has a talent for attracting people to him. Plus, he can use all Haki types and owns Gomu Gomu no Mi, also known as Rubber Fruit, which the World Government has been pursuing for 800 years. However, during his battle with Kaido, it was revealed that the fruit’s real name is Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, aka Human-Human Fruit. It is one of the strangest powers in the world of One Piece, as it is only limited by the user’s imagination. In addition, Luffy is purposeful and never gives up on his principles. Therefore, it is obvious that he will become the Pirate King.
6. Marshall D. Teech
Marshall D. Teech is overall a treacherous and unpleasant character but still one of the strongest. He is a captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. Besides being cunning, he also has a unique body that can withstand the power of several Devil Fruits. Therefore, he owns Dark-Dark and Tremor-Tremor Fruits. Marshall D. Teech’s plans are several moves ahead, and he may become one of the final Bosses in One Piece.
5. Shanks
Shanks is one of the Emperors who can easily stop the battle between the Admirals and the pirates, as was in the Marineford arc. Everyone respects his strength, even though he is not a Fruit User. Most of the time, the Red-Hair Pirates crew did not participate in global events. But after the Wano arc, Shanks also decided to go in search of One Piece.
4. Whitebeard
Whitebeard, also known as Edward Newgate, was one of the Emperors with the titles Man Closest to One Piece and Strongest Man in the World. He was equal in strength to Gol D. Roger and fought with him more than once. Using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could create vibrations or shock waves in any matter, including air or earth. However, due to Teech’s betrayal, he died at Marineford while attempting to rescue Ace.
3. Rocks D. Xebec
Rocks D. Xebec is another mysterious One Piece character, which was mentioned several times in the manga and anime. He was captain of the Rocks Pirates some 40 years before the height of Gol D. Roger’s fame. Rocks was a true ruthless pirate, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake. It is currently known that he used a sword in battle and was strong enough to control his team, which included Kaidou, Big Mom, and Whitebeard. That’s why he is on our list of the strongest One Piece characters of all time. Moreover, to defeat him, Roger had to join Garp, after which the latter earned the title Hero of the Marines.
2. Gol D. Roger
In second place in our top is the strongest pirate of all time, Gol D. Roger. He and his team were able to explore all the islands in the Grand Line and find many treasures, which are known as One Piece. He also didn’t have the power of Fruits but could use all three Haki types. Moreover, his sword skill was at an incredible level. Roger would probably defeat Mihawk in a few hits. If not for a lethal illness, he would have remained the strongest pirate in the world.
1. Imu
And the first place in our top is taken by Imu. This person is the true leader of the World Government. The Five Elders bow before them and besides, the Imu occupy the Empty Throne. It proves that they are the true ruler of the world. They can turn into a huge creature capable of attacking Logia Fruit users. In addition, Imu controls Mother Flame, which can destroy entire islands, as was the case with the Lulusia Kingdom. And after the annihilation of the island, the World Government erases its existence from history, as if it never existed.
Here’s everything you need to know about the top 10 strongest One Piece characters of all time. Each of them has great power that can change the world. However, the balance of power in One Piece changes after almost every arc. Therefore, we can confidently say that Luffy and his crew will become the strongest pirates.
