One Piece Characters stronger than Dracule Mihawk

Dracule Mihawk holds the title of the strongest swordsman in the One piecemeaning he's better than anyone who primarily uses a blade to fight. His swordsmanship is second to none and no one has yet managed to defeat him in combat.

However, Mihawk's title doesn't make him the strongest person in One Piece, especially when there are so many characters who don't use weapons to fight at all. With that in mind, here are all the One Piece characters that can beat Mihawk in a fight.

Monkey D. Garp

Affiliation: World Government, Marines

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Nope

Monkey D. Garp became known as the Hero of the Marines after an incident in God Valley where he encountered some of the greatest pirates of all time. The scary thing is that Garp wasn't even in his prime. The vice admiral reached his peak after the incident and became the most revered marine of all time.

Garp fights using his physical strength and Haki. It combines both to create a devastating fighting style that can easily destroy mountains. In his heyday, Garp went neck-and-neck with Gol D. Roger, so beating someone like Mihawk shouldn't be a problem for him. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would be a heavily one-sided fight in favor of the Marines.

Shanks

Affiliation: Red Hair Pirates

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Nope

Shanks is the leader of the Red-Haired Pirates and one of the Yonks. From a young age, Shanks' talent impressed those around him. They were shocked to see the child using complex moves that required a high level of Haki. Over time, Shanks' control only improved, reaching the point where he is the best Haki user in One Piece.

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki not only increases his destructive power, but also allows him to stop opponents from using Future Sight. Such a crazy ability can effectively change the course of a fight. Shanks and Mihawk used to be rivals, but the former had long surpassed him.

Sakazuki

Affiliation: World Government, Marines

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Magu Magu no Mi

Sakazuki is an admiral of the marines, meaning he has full authority over the organization and its affairs. Sakazuki was not handed a promotion on a plate. In fact, he had to fight Kuzan for several days. After winning the battle, Sakazuki took control of the Marines.

In terms of strength, Sakazuki is currently the strongest fighter in the organization. He possesses the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-type devil fruit that allows him to control magma at will. He also has incredible destructive power that can easily take down the strongest criminals with ease. In addition, Sakazuki can use two types of Haki. With all these abilities at his disposal, there's no doubt that Sakazuki can effortlessly punch someone like Mihawk.

Blackbeard

Affiliation: Blackbeard Pirates

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Yami Yami no Mi, Gura Gura no Mi

Blackbeard is one of the most dangerous pirates in One Piece. He became famous in such a short time that it shocked everyone. Blackbeard is driven by a desire to take over the world and knows that it won't be possible without enough power.

Blackbeard possesses two Devil Fruits, both of which are extremely overpowered. The first is Yami Yami no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to nullify the power of other Devil Fruits. Additionally, it grants Blackbeard the ability to control darkness. The second devil fruit in Blackbeard's locker is the Gura Gura no Mi. Allows him to create vibrations at will. These two abilities put Blackbeard in a league of his own and above the likes of Mihawk.

Monkey D. Dragon

Affiliation: Revolutionary Army

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Unknown

Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, making him the most wanted criminal in the world. He founded the organization together with Ivankov and Kuma to change the world for the better. He wanted to overthrow tyrannical regimes and make life easier for people. Dragon and the Revolutionary Army have liberated many kingdoms so far, Lulusia being the latest.

Dragon has yet to reveal his strength, but there is no doubt that he is one of the strongest fighters in One Piece. After all, his officers are capable of holding their own against admirals. Naturally, there should be a dragon above them. As the story progresses, fans will see the Dragon's true power.

Gorosei

Jurisdiction: World Government

• Haki: Yes

• Devil Fruit: Yes

The Gorosei, also known as the Five Elders, are among the most powerful members of the World Government. Each of them has been assigned specific roles that they must fulfill without fail. The five elders serve directly under Ima and are fiercely loyal to her.

For ages, fans didn't know the true power of the Five Elders, but that changed in the Egghead arc. The Five Elders coordinated to end Vegapunk's life and destroy the Straw Hats. Each party member is armed with a ridiculously powerful Devil Fruit, Immortality, Regeneration, and Haki. All of these things make them nearly impossible to beat in combat. While Mihawk may be an excellent fighter, there is no way he can beat one of the Five Elders.
