 Top 10 Strongest Characters in One Piece (2025 Edition)


With over a thousand episodes and a saga nearing its final arc, One Piece has built a legendary roster of pirates, marines, emperors, and mythical beings. But who reigns supreme in the power hierarchy of the Grand Line? Here's our definitive list of the top 10 strongest characters in One Piece as of 2025.


10) Eustass Kid

Despite his loss to Shanks, Kid remains one of the most dangerous Supernovas. His magnetic powers and Conqueror's Haki make him a powerhouse, though reckless ambition keeps him from the top tier.


9) Trafalgar D. Water Law

Law's Ope Ope no Mi is still one of the most broken Devil Fruits in the series. His strategic mind, Awakening abilities, and ability to challenge Yonko-level fighters give him a solid place in the top 10.


8) Marco the Phoenix

Former Whitebeard commander, Marco’s regeneration powers make him nearly immortal in battle. His stamina and aerial mobility are unmatched among Devil Fruit users.

 


7) Dracule Mihawk

Law's Ope Ope no Mi is still one of the most broken Devil Fruits in the series. His strategic mind, Awakening abilities, and ability to challenge Yonko-level fighters give him a solid place in the top 10.


6) Monkey D. Luffy

After mastering Gear 5 and unlocking the full potential of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika while also DEFEATING KIADO, Luffy stands as a true Yonko. 
His ability to bend reality and fight with both creativity and Conqueror's Haki has redefined combat in the New World.

 「海賊王に俺はなる!」

(Kaizoku-ō ni ore wa naru!)
“I’m going to become the King of the Pirates!”

5) Sakazuki (Akainu)

The current Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Akainu’s Magma-Magma Fruit and ruthless justice make him a walking natural disaster. He permanently scarred Whitebeard and killed Ace — and that was before his promotion.



4) Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach)

The only known user of two Devil Fruits — the Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi — Blackbeard’s unpredictability and brute force are terrifying. As the most likely final antagonist, his rise continues.

 “Ze ha ha ha! This is the age of Blackbeard!”



3) Monkey D. Garp

Even in old age, Garp was able to challenge Blackbeard’s crew and still be called a hero cuppled with the fact that he nearly beat Kuzan. His raw Haki, experience, and legendary strength solidify his place among the strongest.

 



2) Shanks

Shanks stopped Kaido from reaching Marineford, ended the war with a sentence

I’ve come to end this war.

and one-shot Kid. His full Haki mastery — including future-sight-level Observation and devastating Conqueror’s Haki — makes him an untouchable force. 
Shanks may have no Devil Fruit, but no one commands more fear with pure Haki.

 


1) Imu

Shrouded in mystery, the true sovereign of the world has shown otherworldly power — effortlessly destroying islands with the power of ancient weapons or something even greater. Until more is revealed, Imu represents a force that may transcend even the Yonko.

 



🔥 Honourable Mentions:

  • Sabo—Flame Emperor and wielder of the Mera Mera no Mi

  • Zoro—Approaching Mihawk-level with every arc

  • Ben Beckman—Shanks’ right-hand man, feared by the Navy

  • Kizaru—Logia speed god, only restrained by his orders

  • Rayleigh—The Dark King still holds terrifying Haki in old age
