Sea God

The Sea God is a mysterious entity in One Piece That was first name-dropped in the Harley as a character that existed during the Second World, or what's known today as the Void Century. The Sea God of One Piece undoubtedly refers to the character tied to the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. In the Void Century, Poseidon was the previous Mermaid Princess who lived alongside Joy Boy. Today, the prophesied mermaid princess is Shirahoshi.

Strongest Technique: Sinking The World

Poseidon's true potential has yet to be fully unveiled, but its powers are incredibly great, especially in a world like One Piece's that is mostly covered in water. Poseidon has the ability to control all the Sea Kings of the One Piece's sea. This world has millions upon millions of Sea Kings, some gigantic in size. This allows Poseidon to sink islands upon command and destroy the whole world.

Rain God Zaza

The Rain God is an entity that was first named a long time ago in One Piece, during the Skyipea arc to be specific. In One Piece Chapter 287, Mousse reveals the existence of a Rain God worshiped by her people. This Rain God would remain a complete mystery until recently in One Piece Chapter 1182. With Killingham's Kirin Devil Fruit, his fear of Zaza summoned her MMA version, which gave fans a sneak peek at the potential of this God that is feared by the Celestial Dragons.

Strongest Technique: Rain and Floods

Rain God Zaza has technically not yet been seen in her true form. The current Zaza on Elbaf is but a nightmare copy version by Killingham. The true Zaza is undoubtedly way stronger than what has been seen so far. Nevertheless, the MMA version gives an idea of ​​her powers. Being the Rain God, Zaza is a massive counter to Devil Fruit users, being able to use rain and floods to her advantage. With her water control, she's able to trap enemies underwater and drown them. She was even able to subdue and injure the Giants.

War God of Elbaf

The War God is a deity worshiped by the people of the Warland, Elbaph. This name was first uttered during Little Garden by Dorry and Brogy in Chapter 119. This name would become relevant again recently in the Elbaf arc of One Piece in Chapter 1175. The War God, possibly named Douzan, is an overpowered individual from the Void Century. He was so strong that he even took on the Sun God as an opponent at one point. This God doesn't fight alone and is always accompanied by his loyal companion, Ratatoskr. Today, his legacy and powers, as well as his companion, are in the possession of Loki.

Strongest Technique: Thorheim

The War God of Elbaf has so far only been seen briefly through a small flashback. He remains a huge mystery, but his strongest attack can be assumed to be the same as Loki's strongest revealed attack so far, which he uses through the same Devil Fruit: the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr. This attack is known as Thorheim. To tap into this attack, the War God needs to take on his full Zoan Dragon form of Niddhog. Through the lighting powers of the Nidhoggr, a powerful and destructive lightning beam is then discharged. Loki used this attack against Imu, although it was blocked by the Maki of the latter.

Joy Boy

Joy Boy is Luffy's predecessor from the Void Century. Just like Luffy, this One Piece legend was in the possession of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which, when awakened, allows one to become the Sun God himself. Joy Boy's Haki is also powerful, and the fact that a speck of its power was able to bring Imu to his knees goes to show his incredible strength. In the world of One Piece, not many characters can rival him.

Strongest Technique: Gear 5

Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki is incredible and is enough to take down all Five Elders at once, but it is not his ultimate trump card. The reason why Joy Boy was as influential as he was is through his awakening of the Nika Devil Fruit, which probably gave rise to a power similar to Luffy's Gear 5. Joy Boy's Gear 5 form must have been even stronger, and taken to the utmost levels of mastery, which could include Awakening a god ring. Just like Luffy's form, at the very least, it granted him whimsical powers that allowed him to create anything they can imagine.

Nerona Imu

Imu is the current sovereign of the world, but he has been alive for quite some time in One Piece, since the days of the Void Century. Imu lived side by side with the likes of Joy Boy, and his strength was always unparalleled.

Through his Akuma no Mi power, Imu became a God of the One Piece world who rules with an iron fist. Even Joy Boy died and failed when trying to stop him 800 years ago. Imu could also be tied to the Earth God, but that is yet to be confirmed.

Strongest Technique: Omen and Domi Reversi

Imu is currently the most overpowered character in the whole story. His Haki is not to be underestimated, but what really stands out are the abilities that he harnesses through the Devil Fruit. Imu has many noteworthy powers, but his strongest so far are Omen and Domi Reversi. Omen, also known as Maki, is the polar opposite of Haki that manifests as a black flame. It allows Imu to dish out insane damage, but also to defend, and to power up his followers, as seen with Super Sommers or Super Killingham. Domi Reversi is another demonic power that makes almost any enemy into a demon slave. This technique worked even on someone like Xebec.

Forest God

Out of all the Gods who existed in the Second World, the most mysterious of the bunch is the Forest God. The Forest God was mentioned by name in the Harley in Chapter 1138 and by the village elder of Shandia 400 years ago in Chapter 287, but the extent of their role in the Void century, their true identity, or their powers, are yet to be fully unveiled. The truth about the Forest God will be revealed in the Final Saga of One Piece.

Strongest Power: Demon Control

While not much is known about the Forest God, some crumbs of information were revealed in the Second World section of the Harley in One Piece chapter 1138. In a brief sentence, it was said the Forest God tamed demons, which implies it has some control over those devilish entities. This might have led some to believe that the Forest God is Imu, but that seems unlikely. The Forest God could have the ability to undo Imu's Domi Reversi instead, or simply to create Devil Fruits.
