This article contains spoilers from one episode.
in the world of a pieceOda has introduced fans to many powerful characters over the years, and some of them have a lot of power up their sleeves. While some rely on Devil Fruits, others use higher levels of Haki, and some combine the two to maximize the power efficiency they have.
A fragment finally reveals another level of Haki
Advanced hockey is not the final stage. An ode reveals a level of mastery beyond that in a piece.
One such character has been seen by fans a piece The manga was Whitebeard. He was labeled the World's Strongest Man in his debut, and Paramount Battle showed fans why he earned the title in the first place. Now, however, several years after the Paramount battle, Oda has officially revealed it to fans Another character who was even stronger than WhitebeardAnd thus, the real strongest man in the world, albeit for a very short period of time.
Before Whitebeard, Harald was the strongest man in a fragmented world
It is unclear when Whitebeard received the title of World's Strongest Man and in the manga, there is no confirmation of this. As things stand, fans can assume that after Roger's death, Whitebeard will be recognized as the strongest man in the world. It should also be noted that his title is directly linked to his Devil Fruit, which gives him the power to destroy the world itself.
King Harald passed after his battle with Loki. What you see is a battle scar. Loki is certainly strong but King Harald was also known as a great warrior in his own right. All this destruction was inevitable. The surviving members of the castle that day were Chief Zarul and Loki. – Rodo in battle at Aurust castle, 14 years ago
After all, in a 1v1 fight, Whitebeard was definitely not strong after Roger's death. The strongest man after the Pirate King's death would only be King Harald of Elbaf. While some fans may find it hard to believe, the fact is that Harald was the equivalent of Rocks. If Whitebeard reached the same level as Rux following the events of God Valley, he would still not be at Harald's level.
In every way, be it football or hockey, Harald was the world's most powerful man until 14 years agoAnd Oda goes on to show that clearly on many occasions. Since Elbaf was cut off from the world and Harald wasn't really a pirate but just played the role of a simple king, it makes perfect sense why these brutal titles were never attached to him.
Harald was stronger than Whitebeard
Harald was already at the level of Rocks about 38 years ago, but in later times, he became even stronger. It is a known fact that Harald received the Contract of the Shallow Sea from the Five Elders, and although it did not increase his power, it certainly gave him some abilities.
Hey, I'm talking to you. I am the sun god embodied in the legends of this land. You don't speak to me without permission, human. I consider myself the strongest living in the country. This is Warland, Elbaf's kingdom of violence. The most powerful nation in the world that once lived and breathed war. And I am the Sun God who ends the world, Loki! — Loki introducing himself in the Elbaf arc.
A piece magazine Vol. 20 officially reveals the strongest devil fruit
The strongest Devil Fruit has already been revealed, and it's Yonko's in one piece.
The real power Harald gained was the Deep Sea Pactwhich he officially received a piece Chapter 1168. When Harald received this contract, he clearly said that new strength was growing in his body and it enhanced him overall. In other words, Harald's already incredible power, which was equal to the likes of Rox, was now on a completely different level, making him stronger in the world.
On top of that, it was also clearly stated in the story that Harald now also had access to immortality, meaning he wouldn't die in battle. All things considered, Harald was the strongest man in the world until the moment of his death.
Harold died 14 years ago under mysterious circumstances
14 years ago, Elbaf's fortunes changed. when Harald was urged by Emu to raise a large army That naval rival and fight for him, he made a great disobedient decision. It is here that Emu finally takes control of his body, and fans know that another mysterious battle takes place and Harald dies.
After Harald's death, Whitebeard was the undisputed strongest man in the world of a piece, and he held this title until the moment of his death. It's a shame that fans didn't get to see Harald all out in his prime, but it's a fact that up until a certain point in the story he was the strongest in the world.
