One Piece: Top 20 Strongest Characters In The Series

One Piece is one of the best Manga ever. With being the best selling of all time, it has a huge fan following all over the world. The power system is well defined and there are a lot of characters with varying power levels.

Power scaling in One Piece is complicated as Oda tends to not explicitly state the strength of characters. Oda likes to keep the characters in a tier-like system rather than a binary system.

For example, if you take the Crocodile-Doflamingo conflict, pre-timeskip Luffy managed to defeat Crocodile but Crocodile is portrayed as an equal to Doflamingo in Marineford. Doflamingo may have been stronger but still, Oda wants Crocodile to be still in their league. There are so many other examples like this.

I tried to not get influenced by headcanons and tried to objectively pick the list yet there will be some decisions you will disagree with.

20. Charlotte Katakuri

Position: First Sweet Commander of Big Mom Pirates

Devil Fruit: Mochi Mochi Fruit

Haki: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, Conquerors Haki

Katakuri is the First Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates, the second eldest son of Big Mom, and acted as one of the antagonists of the Whole Cake Island Arc. He has all three types of Haki and his devil fruit Mochi is a special Paramecia.

He is the second strongest member of Big Mom pirates which has so many top-tier fighters among them. His devil fruit is a better version of Luffy’s rubber fruit and is also awakened. He has an advanced form of Observational Haki, Future sight.

Katakuri is really strong which is put into perspective by Bege as he considered Katakuri the most dangerous foe in the Tea party. Luffy extremely struggled in his fight against Katakuri and the battle was a stalemate physically and Luffy won the battle psychologically. Yonko’s crew are really feared overall and the first commander in that crew will be one of the strongest in the verse.

Feats:

• He was the biggest obstacle in the Big Mom Assassination plan.
• He overpowered Luffy for the majority of their battle.
• He defeated Vinsomake Ichiji.
• He defeated Carrot very easily.

19. Marco

Position: Former First Division Commander

Devil Fruit: Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki

Marco is the former First division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and led the payback war against Blackbeard. Marco has one of the most powerful devil fruit, a Phoneix Mythical fruit. He has both Observational and Armament Haki. His devil fruit allows him to regenerate which makes him invincible to physical attacks and takes strong Haki to attack him.

Marco shined in the Marineford arc where he fought Kizaru, Aokiji, etc briefly. Later in Wano Arc, he held off both King and Queen for a brief period and simultaneously treated several people at the same time.

Though Marco is really strong, he is often shown to be falling short of the top tiers. Garp injuring him, him tagging with other Commanders to hold off Akainu, Big Mom easily defeating him, etc are few examples of that. Hence he takes a low place behind the other top tiers.

Feats:

• He managed to hit Kizaru, Aokiji, Akainu in Marineford Arc.
• He managed to hold both Queen and king for a brief moment and simultaneously treated several samurais.
• He briefly fought well against Big Mom.
• He knocked down the Big Mom Pirates’ ship.

18. Monkey D. Luffy

Position: Pirate Captain/Fifth Emperor/Worst Generation

Devil Fruit: Gomu Gomu no Mi

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, Conquerors Haki

Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of the series and the captain of the Strawhat Pirates. Before time skip, he was considered one of the strongest rookies of his generation and considered as part of the Worst Generation. He is also currently known as the Fifth Emperor which was stated by Big News Morgan after clashing with Big Mom.

Luffy’s growth of rate in the pirate world is only secondary to Blackbeard. Luffy currently has access to the Advanced form of Conquerors Haki by which he can manage Kaido in a fight for several dozen minutes. Only the strongest characters have shown using this technique and by this alone, Luffy has entered the strongest in the verse list. In addition to that, he can use Future Sight (Advanced form of Observation Haki) and Ryo (Advanced form of Armament Haki) which only a few can access.

The only path for Luffy is to go up in this list as the series progresses.

Feats:

• He managed to fight Kaido for several dozens of minutes.
• He has Advanced Conquerors Haki which very few have been confirmed to have.
• He has defeated Katakuri, Cracker, and Doflamingo after timeskip.
• He has Ryo and Future sight which are advanced form of Haki.

17. Issho (Fujitora)

Position: Admiral

Devil Fruit: Zushi Zushi no Mi

Haki: Observation Haki, Armament Haki.

Fujitora is one of the current admirals in the Navy after being conscripted through a World Military Draft replacing the position left by Aokiji and Akainu. One has to be incredibly strong to become an admiral in the Navy and that itself proves his strength. Fujitora has “Moral Justice” as his motto. Fujitora even though blind has been shown to be one of the best users of Observation Haki.

Doflamingo stated him to be a monster along with Ryokugyu and Doflamingo isn’t someone to use that word casually. His devil fruit is one of the strongest Paramecia in the series and it allows Fujitora to manipulate gravity to an extent that he can even bring meteors down from the sky. He is confirmed to use two types of Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki. He easily defeated Trafalgar Law and easily managed to hold back Sabo, who had eaten the Fire Logia devil fruit at that time.

Feats:

• He defeated Law easily in Dressrosa.
• He remained Unfazed by Dressrosa Luffy in a fight.
• He managed to hold Sabo off without full effort.
• He left with only few scars after a battle with revolutionary army in Reverie.

16. Sengoku

Position: Admiral

Devil Fruit: Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki.

Sengoku is the former fleet admiral of the Navy and currently serves as an Inspector General in the Navy. Sengoku along with Garp is often considered the strongest Navy member in the previous generation.

Sengoku can use Observation Haki and Armament Haki and in Vivre Card, it is revealed he can use Conquerors Haki. He has the rarest type of devil fruits, Mythical types and his fruit is Human Human fruit, model – Buddha.

Mythical devil fruits are overpowered fruits and the addition of Haki along with it makes him a top tier. Even Roger puts high respect on him by saying that only Sengoku or Garp can give him some challenge. Being an admiral by itself grants one a place here.

Unfortunately, Sengoku isn’t seen in action as much as other admirals, so he has been placed this low, below other admirals.

Feats:

• Sengoku and Garp defeated Shiki.
• Sengoku along with Fujitora defeated Jack easily.
• Sengoku fought Blackbeard pretty easily in Marineford.

15. Borsalino (Kizaru)

Position: Admiral

Devil Fruit: Pika Pika Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki.

Kizaru is one of the current admirals and was one of the antagonists of the Sabaody Archipelago and Marineford arc. One has to be insanely strong to become an admiral. He can use both Armament and observation Haki. He also processes one of the most powerful devil fruit Pika Pika no Mi, a logia that allows him to turn into light itself.

Kizaru didn’t break a sweat fighting the Supernovas in the Sabaody Archipelago. He later fought Rayleigh on an even footing. Kizaru’s offensive power in laser beams is really strong but slightly pales comparing to Akainu’s magma.

From what we have seen, his laser isn’t that effective against strong people and hence he is ranked slightly below other Admirals. Also, he hasn’t been pushed to his limits which makes it tough to put a ceiling on his powers and rank him any higher.

Feats:

• He defeated several Supernovas and the whole Strawhats easily in Sabaody Archipelago.
• He seemed fairly unfazed during the entire Marineford arc where he took on Marco, Whitebeard, etc.
• He defeated Arlong very easily when he was a Vice Admiral.
• He fought Silvers Rayleigh on an equal footing for several minutes seemingly without any tiredness.

14. Kuzan (Aokiji)

Position: Blackbeard Pirates Member/ Former Admiral

Devil Fruit: Ice-Ice Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki.

Kuzan, also known as Aokiji is a former Admiral of the Navy and currently a member of Blackbeard Pirates. He was the first introduced Admiral and is shown to be one of the strongest Marines ever in the series. Even as a Vice Admiral, Jaguar D. Saul noted that Kuzan is insanely strong.

Aokiji took on Akainu in a close battle that lasted 10 days proving him to be near equal to Akainu. Aokiji has Observation Haki and Armament Haki. He has a logia devil fruit, Ice-Ice fruit. All the Admirals are portrayed as being in the same tier and his result of the battle with Akainu gives him a place below Akainu.

In Marineford, Aokiji was shown to have trouble facing the likes of Ace, Jozu, Marco, etc but his battle with Akainu showed he could be on equal footing with another admiral, and hence he is placed this high up on this list.

Feats:

• He defeated the Strawhats easily before the Water 7 saga.
• During Vice Admiral days, he instantly froze Jaguar D. Saul who was also a Vice Admiral.
• He fought Akainu for 10 straight days and ended up changing the environment of Punk Hazard itself.

13. Sakazuki (Akainu)

Position: Fleet Admiral

Devil Fruit: Magma Magma Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki and Armament Haki

Akainu is the current fleet admiral of the Navy and also served as the main Antagonist of the Marineford arc. He is a follower of Absolute Justice. He has Observational Haki and Armament Haki and his devil fruit is a logia, Magma Magma fruit. His devil fruit has an insanely powerful offensive ability. To put into context, his magma took half of the face of Whitebeard which isn’t an easy thing to do.

He won the battle with Aokiji and did the most damage to Whitebeard in Marineford. There is no dispute about him being the highest-ranked Marine Admiral.

Sometimes, people tend to put Akainu in the same bracket as the Yonko which I don’t agree with. The whole point of Marineford Arc is to show that the Navy and Warlords together are equal to one Yonko crew. If Akainu and other Admirals are at that level, the Navy doesn’t need to worry about the balance of World Power which is stressed greatly.

Since we are fighting Yonko Kaido and Big Mom now, people assume the future antagonist Akainu will be stronger than them which isn’t true based on the canonical events we have seen so far.

Feats:

• He fought Whitebeard and did the most damage to him even destroying half of his face.
• He beat Aokiji after fighting him for 10 days and this changed Punk Hazard’s weather completely.
• In Marineford, he did the most damage from the Navy side.

12. Monkey D. Dragon

Position: Leader of Revolutionary Army

Devil Fruit: N/A

Haki: N/A

Monkey D. Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary army and one of the most mysterious characters in the series with very little known about his strength. Still, we have plenty of subtle hints throughout the series that can be used to gauge his strength.

First, we see in Loguetown where his unknown powers enabled him to manipulate the weather to make rain and storm. The storm was so powerful that almost everyone on the island couldn’t withstand it. We can presume that the lightning that saved Luffy is due to him. In One Piece, Oda emphasizes that powerful characters can change the weather as seen through Aokiji, Akainu, Shanks, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, etc. So Dragon manipulating weather puts him in the top-tier for me.

Also, he is regarded as the most wanted criminal, and just hearing his name shocks people. The biggest proof of his strength is that Ivankov wondered if the Navy can handle both Dragon and Whitebeard at the same time signifying him to a level comparable to Whitebeard. Also, the willpower of Luffy and Conquerors Haki of Luffy reminds Iva of Dragon.

For the moment, I will place him tentatively at a middle position and he could go up once we see him in action.

Feats:

• He manipulated the weather to bring rainstorm and it affected the whole of Loguetown.
• He is leading the Revolutionary army which is the only group that opposes the world government.

11. Silvers Rayleigh

Position: Former Firstmate of Roger Pirates / Ship coating Mechanic

Devil Fruit: None

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Silvers Rayleigh is the former Vice-captain of Roger Pirates and the right-hand man of Roger and currently a ship coating mechanic in Sabaody. He has shown great mastery in all three types of Haki even when in his old age. Rayleigh managed to fight Kizaru, an admiral for several minutes as an equal though slightly getting tired. But it should be noted that he is a 78-year-old.

Garp warned the Navy to not try to capture Rayleigh stating that it is unwise for the Navy to fight two legends putting Rayleigh along with Whitebeard. Also, Kizaru stated that they need to make special preparations to capture him while Kizaru single-handedly defeated several supernovas. Rayleigh also showed great knowledge in Haki as seen when he taught Luffy.

Rayleigh’s prime strength is still unknown and all these are just based on his current power. Even Nami, Usopp, etc recognized him. Based on the above scenarios, it can be inferred that he is slightly above the admirals in his prime.

Feats:

• Rayleigh fought Kizaru on an equal footing.
• He used Conquerors Haki to knock several people in different instances.
• Garp and Kizaru stated at different times, that it won’t be easy to capture Rayleigh.

10. Marshall D. Teach

Position: Yonko / Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates

Devil Fruit: Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Dark-Dark Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki and Armament Haki

Blackbeard is a Yonko, a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates and the leader of the Blackbeard Pirates, and is one of the strongest darkness users in anime. He is the only known human to have eaten two devil fruits. He has confirmed to know both Observational and Armament Haki.

We haven’t seen him in action post timeskip so his current strength is unknown. He is a Yonko and has two of the most powerful devil fruits in the verse. Also, even before timeskip, his durability was immense as he took several hits from the likes of Whitebeard, Sengoku, etc, and still remained fairly unfazed. His control of the devil fruits would have just become stronger post timeskip and his crew even defeated the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates which isn’t an easy thing.

Though bounty doesn’t directly equate to strength it does can be used to approximately infer the level of strength and Blackbeard has significantly lesser bounty than other Yonkos. He can be speculated to be even higher in this list but for the moment we will put him in a conservative position till we see him in action.

Feats:

• Blackbeard pre timeskip managed to defeat Ace.
• He fought Whitebeard and endured a close Tremor attack.
• He endured Sengoku’s close attack.
• Blackbeard and his crew defeated Whitebeard Remnants in the payback war.

9. Mihawk

Position: Former Warlord/ World Strongest Swordsman

Devil Fruit: N/A

Haki: Observational Haki and Armament Haki

Mihawk is said to be the Strongest Swordsman in the series and a former Warlord. He is confirmed to be able to use Observational and Armament Haki. He presumably doesn’t have a devil fruit. He is known as the strongest swordsman and almost every swordsman knows about him. His sword is known as Yoru and is one of the twelve Supreme Grades.

Mihawk is a nightmare to power scale. The ceiling for a swordsman is really high, we have seen people like Oden who can even injure Kaido and someone like Rayleigh who uses swords to stop Kizaru.

So, Mihawk being the strongest swordsman now should be an absolute top tier. He is also shown as a rival to a Yonko, Shanks during their younger days. But on the other hand, Mihawk is sometimes used as a measuring stick to hype up other characters’ strengths. Mihawk himself states that there is a gap between him and Whitebeard. Then Jozu is hyped up by deflecting his strike. Later, Vista is shown to battle him equally for a good period of time when both Vista and Marco are needed together to even hurt Akainu.

But for just the strongest swordsman title alone, he is placed in this high position.

Feats:

• Mihawk used to fight Shanks in their younger days.
• Mihawk easily defeated Jimbei, Daz Bonez in Marineford.
• Bubbons that overwhelmed pre timeskip Zoro were afraid of Mihawk.

8. Oden

Position: Former Second Division Commander of Whitebeard Pirates

Devil Fruit: None

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Oden is the former Daimyo of Kuri, a second division commander in Whitebeard’s ship, and a member of Roger Pirates. Oden has shown incredible mastery in all three types of Haki and even has the advanced form of Conqueror’s Haki and doesn’t have any devil fruit.

Oden is incredibly strong even at a young age. He is an amazing Swordsman even among the mighty samurais of Wano. Oden managed to scar Kaido which is a rare thing. Oden is put alongside the elite list of Whitebeard, Roger, Shanks, and Rocks by Kaido when he fought Luffy.

Oden is still portrayed to be weaker than Whitebeard and Gold Roger and it is safe to put him below the Yonkos.

Feats:

• Oden is the only person to scar Kaido.
• Oden has fought Roger and Whitebeard and didn’t have any major injuries.
• Oden gained huge notoriety even Gol D. Roger took note off.

7. Xebec D. Rocks

Position: Former Captain of Rocks Pirates

Devil Fruit: N/A

Haki: N/A

Xebec D. Rocks is the former captain of Rocks Pirates and we know nothing about his powers. His crew included some of the greatest pirates such as Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Shiki, Captain John, etc.

Kaido put Rocks alongside the likes of Whitebeard, Roger, Oden, and Shanks. Sengoku has stated that Roger’s biggest enemy was Rocks and Garp even hinted at Rocks’ great threat in a different instance. Defeating Rocks pirates earned Garp his name as a Navy hero.

Kaido has emphasized the importance of being a conqueror for leading a formidable crew and Rocks has led some of the greatest Conquerors Haki users ever. Even if we are yet to see his actual strength, his pure Conqueroring ability to have so many conquerors in his crew is just enough to place him this high.

He can easily be put at a top 3 spot and still can be considered right but I am placing him here conservatively till we see him in action.

Feats:

• Rocks was the biggest enemy of the Roger Pirates.
• Marines are afraid of Big Mom and Kaido in a phone call since their alliance might give raise to the biggest pirate crew Rocks again.

6. Monkey D. Garp

Position: Inspector General / Former Vice Admiral

Devil Fruit: None

Haki: Observational Haki and Armament Haki

Garp is a former Navy Vice Admiral and currently an inspector general in the Navy. Garp is known as the Navy Hero and even Nami has heard of him. He has great mastery in Armament Haki and Observational Haki and doesn’t have a devil fruit.

He is known for cornering Roger several times. He teamed up with Roger in defeating Rocks. He has been seen in the same vein as Roger several times in the series. He has a legendary status that the whole world knows about and a feat that not even Sengoku managed to have.

Characters like Shakky, Big Mom, etc refer to Luffy as Garp’s grandson signifying his importance in the world. Rocks are the most notorious pirate crew and the old Marines are afraid of the emergence of Rocks Pirates again. Garp involved in the defeat of Rocks pirates itself deserves this high place.

Feats:

• Garp used to destroy mountains for practice.
• Garp along with Roger defeated the Rocks Pirates.
• Garp togethor with Sengoku defeated Shiki.

5. Shanks

Position: Yonko / Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates

Devil Fruit: None

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Shanks is one of the current Yonko and a former member of Roger Pirates. Shanks doesn’t have a devil fruit but has mastery in all three types of Haki. His duels with Hawkeye were known throughout the seas. Even without a hand, he has managed to become a Yonko and has a bounty of around 4 billion.

His presence alone instilled fear among the Marines in the Marineford Arc. Blackbeard explicitly stated that they aren’t yet ready to fight Shanks’s crew even when Blackbeard acquired the second devil fruit. Kaido puts him alongside the likes of Oden, Roger, Whitebeard, and Rocks during his encounter with Luffy.

It is interesting that Shanks hasn’t been shown in action yet his implied strength is already great to put him in the top 5.

Feats:

• Shanks stopped the Marinford War.
• Shanks stopped Kaido entering the Marineford War though it is never stated they fought (I dont think they fought).
• Shanks clashed with Whitebeard splitting the clouds.

4. Big Mom

Position: Yonko / Captain of the Big Mom Pirates

Devil Fruit: Soul Soul Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Big Mom is a Yonko, captain of the Big Mom Pirates, and the empress of the Tottoland. She has shown to be great in Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki. She is one of the rare users of Advanced Conquerors Haki. She also has an overpowered devil fruit in Soul Devil fruit.

Big Mom fought Kaido for three days on equal footing with no injuries. She defeated Queen, a Yonko commander with ease, and even in the current Wano raid, she is yet to get injured. She is a natural-born destroyer and was capable of killing a giant as a child.

The only time she has even been injured in the whole series is when she lost her mind during the Whole Cake Island Arc. Sometimes it is easy to underrate her physical strength as she can be seen thrown around and easily outwitted but her physical body is yet to be scratched by a person.

Feats:

• Big Mom killed Jorul, 344 year old Giant as a five year old.
• Big Mom fought Kaido for three days which caused a change in the weather.
• Big Mom defeated Queen, a Yonko commander easily.
• Big Mom defeated Page One with one hit using her Conqueror’s Haki infused attack.
• She is yet to be actually injured during the whole Wano raid.
• Along with Kaido, she fought Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kidd, and Killer and remained unscathed.

3. Kaido

Position: Yonko / Captain of the Beast Pirates

Devil Fruit: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Kaido is the Strongest creature, a Yonko, and a former member of Rocks Pirates. Kaido has all three types of Haki and has a mythical devil fruit, Koi Fish which allows him to transform into a dragon.

Kaido expands his crew purely on a strength basis and his indomitable Conquerors Haki enabled him to have so many strong pirates as subordinates.

During this Wano arc itself, Kaido has faced the Scabbards which had Sulong Nekomomoshi, Sulong Inuarishi, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, etc who are some of the strongest Samurai in Wano. Later Kaido along with Big Mom faced Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Killer, and Law in a battle at the rooftop and only got a scar from Zoro and some solid punches from Luffy but still remained fairly unfazed yet.

Navy is afraid of the military forces in Wano due to the presence of the strong Samurais and Kaido fought the strongest Samurai among them and then he fought the strongest supernovas and yet left the battle with fair ease. Killer literally stated that Kaido is the strongest Pirate and note Kid Pirates faced Shanks crew in New World.

People sometimes assume Kaido to be weaker than other Yonkos since he gets hit several times by various characters but Kaido most of the time just lets others hit him as he seeks a strong warrior since Oden. He is the only character apart from Whitebeard to be termed as the Strongest in the world. Kaido is said to be undefeatable one on one. Kaido is the epitome of strength and no other alive character in the series has as great of a portrayal of strength as him.

Feats:

• Kaido defeated Scabbards which had some of the strongest Samurais among them.
• Kaido along with Big Mom faced Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kidd, and Killer and got only a scar and few punches and was never seemed like losing.
• Kaido knocked out Act 1 Luffy in a single hit.
• Kaido fell down from 10,000 meters height and doesn’t have an injury.
• Kaido fought Big Mom for three consecutive days and remained uninjured.

2. Edward Newgate

Position: Yonko/Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates

Devil Fruit: Tremor Tremor Fruit

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Whitebeard was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and a former member of Rocks Pirates. Whitebeard was literally stated to be the Strongest Man in his introduction so it is easy to rank him this high. He has great mastery in all forms of Haki and even possesses the rare form of Conquerors Haki. He has one of the strongest devil fruit, Tremor fruit.

Doflamingo and Garp at different times implied that Whitebeard was the king of the seas. Sengoku stated that Whitebeard could literally destroy the whole world. A weakened Whitebeard fought all the three admirals and Blackbeard. He faced several Marines in the war and still remained formidable till the end. This single panel shows his greatness.

Roger and Whitebeard have always been portrayed as equals. They are portrayed as equals in strength as seen from their fight and they are considered rivals. Oda always was conscious of portraying them as equals in everything in every instance.

The only reason to put him in the second place is the fact that he was once part of another crew. So much emphasis has been put on being a Conqueror for leading a strong crew and the fact that Whitebeard followed another person as a captain acts as the tiebreaker between him and Roger.

Feats:

• Whitebeard fought Roger as equal for three days
• Whitebeard fought Aokiji, Kizaru and Akainu in different instances during the war and he actually defeated Akainu.
• Whitebeard was stabbed 267 times, shot 152 times, and hit by 46 cannonballs and yet there were no scars on his back.
• Whitebeard nearly defeated Blackbeard and it took whole of Blackbeard Pirates to fatally injure him.

1. Gol D. Roger

Position: Former Pirate King/ Captain of Roger Pirates

Devil Fruit: N/A

Haki: Observational Haki, Armament Haki, and Conquerors Haki

Roger is the former Pirate King and the captain of the Roger Pirates. He has great mastery in all forms of Haki and even possesses the rare Advanced Conquerors Haki. From the start of the series, it is assumed that he had to be one of the strongest characters in the verse. As the series progresses with more evidence, it is pretty apparent now that he is one of the strongest in the series.

His role in the defeat of Rocks solidifies his status as one of the strongest. As I already explained, there isn’t a lot of evidence to differentiate Rogers and Whitebeard in their strength. His power is shown to be equal to Whitebeard as seen during his fight with him. Even the members of his crew, Oden and Rayleigh are some of the strongest persons we have ever seen.

The fact that Whitebeard worked under another person and Roger’s Voice Of All Things tipped the first position in favor of Roger.

Feats:

• He teamed up with Garp and defeated Rocks crew.
• He found the Raftel.
• He fought on an equal footing with Whitebeard for three full days.

As I already explained in the introduction, Oda keeps the power scaling vague and doesn’t explicitly state a number to denote a character’s strength hence lot of things are up to viewers’ interpretation.

Do you agree with the list? Let me know your thoughts on the comment section below.
