Kaido is known as the strongest creature in the world

Crew: Animal Pirates

One does not earn the moniker of 'World's Strongest Creature' without being an absolute powerhouse of a pirate. Technically, Kaido got his start as a pirate decades before the story begins, but he only reaches the peak of his power in the general modern era, when he becomes one of the Yonko who control many of the New Worlds.

Kaido ate one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in existence, a legendary Joan, which gave him the ability to transform into an absurdly large and powerful dragon, as well as giving him access to a superpowered hybrid form. Despite this, Kaido relied mostly on his Haki, of which he could skillfully use advanced forms, allowing him to fight for days on end.

Luffy has a conflicting position against Roger

Crew: Straw Hat Pirates

Of all the characters on this list, Luffy's position may be the most controversial. The reason for this is that Luffy undoubtedly has some of the greatest Haki in the world, but it is strongly implied in the series that his control and mastery of the Force still has a long way to go, especially in terms of matching Roger's unparalleled strength.

However, Luffy is still a skilled and adept user of advanced forms of each Haki type, although what really brings him to Roger's level is his legendary Sun God Nika Devil Fruit, which allows him to stretch reality to a certain extent and infuse external objects with the properties of rubber. Although it is still unconfirmed, some fans believe that Luffy overpowered Roger.

Loki is the most eccentric Haki user of all time

Party: Independent

on the whole a piece In the series, Elbaf, as Loki's cursed prince, Haki's use is not shown by any character. Not only did Loki eat the most broken Devil Fruits in the entire story, but he also awakened the Haki of the Advanced Conqueror for the first time to attempt to summon the power against Domi Reversid Harald.

King Harald himself was one of the strongest men in history whose power equaled, or perhaps even exceeded, Roger's own, and when he was domi-reversed by Emu, his power and durability increased even more. Even Shanks and Scooper were unable to eliminate this threat together, when Loki intervened and defeated his father by performing the most impressive and naturally talented display of Advanced Conqueror's Hockey seen in the series. He did this by defeating someone even more powerful than Roger himself, proving himself above the late Pirate King.

Dracul Mihawk has power above all others

Crew: Cross Guild

Many times, fans ignore the importance of the title 'World's Strongest Swordsman'. As most of the world's pirates are swordsmen, standing above them all shows a level of power that cannot be matched, as Mihawk has been called the equal of Shanks himself, albeit with better swordsmanship.

Using his Supreme Grade Sword, Yoru, Mihawk rose to the top of the world through his talent with the blade and mastery of Haki, the latter of which transformed Yoru into one of the two known black blades in history. This is a significant feat, as notable swordsmen of the past, such as Roger and Rux, were unable to do so with their own weapons, proving that Mihawk exists on a much larger scale.

Shanks is the greatest pirate the world has seen in decades

Crew: Red haired pirates

in a pieceConqueror's Haki has become more or less a requirement for top-tier characters in the world. However, even among them, Shanks has demonstrated a level of mastery with this power that is the greatest since Joyboy himself, as he has been shown to one-shot Yonko-level pirates or incapacitate Navy admirals from miles away with very little effort.

For many, Shanks is considered the second coming of Roger himself, as his power and notoriety in the world elevate him to a level never seen before. Despite not possessing the Devil Fruit, most agree that he is currently stronger than Luffy and Loki, and although he is still on par with Mihawk, Shanks has cemented himself as the greatest pirate of the modern era.
