Summary

  • Yonko is currently at the top of the One Piece world.
  • The full extent of Imu's power remains unknown to fans.
  • Luffy, as Joy Boy, is about to surpass all other characters in power.

His world One piece has introduced fans to many powerful characters over the years. Right from the start, fans knew they were being pirated in One piece world that had a huge power and at the same time powerful marines that were on the tail of these pirates and aimed to bring them to justice. Then, with time, fans also learned about other influential organizations from One piece world such as the Revolutionary Army and they too have their own fair share of powerful individuals. Undoubtedly, there are force monsters crawling all over the world of One Piece, especially in the new world.

The greatest swordsman in One Piece is overrated

Mihawk is known as One Piece's greatest swordsman. Is it overrated?

Right now, the Four Emperors are definitely among the elites One piece world, when we talk about pirates, and from the Government side, Imu and the Elders seem to be the top ones. This order is likely to change significantly in One Piece over the next few years, especially as the final war in the series begins.

  • Yonko are at their peak
  • The full extent of Imu's power remains unknown

The world of One Piece has a lot of powerful individuals right now, and that's exactly what makes it difficult to say exactly who is the most powerful character in the series. Until recently, Kaido was one of the four sea emperors, and Oda explicitly stated that Kaido was the most powerful creature and at the same time the most powerful pirate alive. But now Kaido is gone, or at least not active. Along with Kaido, Big Mom isn't active either, meaning the current Four Emperors are on top of things. When it comes to pirates, Shanks has the most experience and may be the strongest of the lot. Blackbeard is also up there when it comes to being the strongest of One piece the world right now.

Then we must also consider the powers of the Five Elders. They recently showcased their capabilities on Egghead and at the same time, fans got to see their incredible immortality-like powers. The Five Elders have their own position, and rightfully so, among the most powerful, and of course Imu, being above them, is probably one of the most powerful as well.

Dragon is definitely hovering in the same zone, and fans know he'll be one of the most powerful characters ever seen once he gives it his all.

Right now, it's Shanks who has the strongest case for being the most powerful character in One piece. Blackbeard still doesn't seem like the finished product, especially since he's still hunting from Devil Fruits, as revealed by his Amazon Lily detour. Shanks' incredible Haki, and the fact that he has been directly compared to Roger on many occasions, is proof enough that as it stands, he is the strongest in the world and a force to be reckoned with. But while Shanks might be the strongest character in One piece right now, fans can't say for sure that he will be the strongest character at the end of the series. In fact, it is very likely that Shanks will be outclassed, and at the same time, there could be characters stronger than him that existed in the past.

What makes Joy Boy the strongest in One Piece history

Joy Boy might be a step above Shanks


When we talk about characters that existed in the past that could have been stronger than Shanks, people like Whitebeard and Roger come to mind. Specifically, fans know that Roger is a character who was at the top of his era and, like Shanks, relied solely on Haki in battle. Roger became the Pirate King and did everything with his Haki alone. Roger was believed to be as strong as Whitebeard despite being a carrier of a disease, and this was indicated by their fight, which resulted in a draw.

The fact is that Roger was seriously ill at this point in the story, which essentially means he was already nerfed when they fought. Roger's haki being stronger than Whitebeard's is proof that he was in some ways superior to him, although in terms of fighting prowess, these two were equal.

Now, Shanks has been compared to Roger many times and has been declared by many to be the next Pirate King. Their genius as well as their Haki could also be comparable considering Shanks literally takes pages from Roger's book and uses them and fights effortlessly. But even taking these three characters aside, there is one individual who is clearly the most powerful of all time One piece and that person is none other than Joy Boy.

Zoro's left eye is a major mystery in One Piece. It could be the key to defeating Mihawk.

No matter how powerful Roger, Whitebeard and Shanks are, none of them hold a candle to Joy Boy. Fans saw Joy Boy's power when he unleashed his most powerful Haki in the Egghead Arc of One Piece, and in doing so, the sky above Egghead was split. His Haki was so powerful that the Five Elders were knocked out of their demonic transformations, and Saturn's summoning was also rejected. Four of the Elders were transported back to Marijoa while Saturn was left huffing and puffing on Egghead. All of the vice admirals were taken out and even the giants were shocked when they saw the level of Haki that was displayed. This was quite easily the greatest Haki feat that fans have seen in One Piece and it just goes to show that Joy Boy was the most powerful character of his time and certainly the most powerful in the history of the series.


Why Luffy will be One Piece's strongest character

Luffy is already on his way to becoming the strongest of all time

Luffy being Joy Boy continues to prove that in the future he will surpass the likes of Shanks, Roger and Whitebeard. If he wants to be the most powerful character on the seas, he needs to live up to the comparisons to the original Joy Boy. In fact, Luffy has to step up to him because he has to do what Joy Boy couldn't do.

Luffy will need to become even stronger and will definitely continue to do so in the future. At this point, Luffy has access to Gear 5, which Joy Boy did as well, and that essentially means that part of the work is already done. The second half of the problem still remains and is to improve the overall control of his Haki. What fans saw on Egghead Island was Oda's way of showing readers what level Luffy would reach in the future. Fans can rest assured that after the final war, Luffy will be the most powerful character on the seas and that he will be outmatched One piece.


One Piece can be read through Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next One Piece chapter, One Piece 1134, is set for December 22, 2024.
