Dracula Mihawk

Mihawk he hasn't shown his full potential yet One piecebut fans know it's a force. Known as the strongest swordsman in the worldMihawk is the most skilled swordsman in the series who joined forces with the Cross Guild to hunt down the Marines. WITH his highest class sword, YoruMihawk is almost unstoppable. He would give every One Piece character a good fight.

Five elders

The Five Elders are one of the most dangerous groups of villains One Piece has ever seen. Fans have known about them for a while, but it wasn't until Egghead that their power got the spotlight it deserved. The Gorosei have overpowered Yokai abilities as well as immortality. Additionally, they all have high level Haki. With Saturn's death, a powerful new member has joined their ranks and that is Saint Garling Figarland.

Akainu

Aside from Garp, if there's one Marine that really stands out among the rest, it's this one Akainualso known as Sakazuki. Akainu was first introduced as an admiral in One piecebut after the timeskip he rose to in the rank of admiral of the fleet. Akainu, with his magma Devil Fruithe is definitely one of the strongest characters in the series. His true power will be revealed in the Final Saga.

Garp/Gaban/Rayleigh

Old legends in One piece they haven't become completely obsolete because Oda absolutely loves them. Garp, Gaban and Rayleigh are still playing One Piecedespite their advanced age. Garp nearly wiped out the Blackbeard Pirates single-handedlyshows his strength.

On Elbaf, Gaban showed how to bypass immortalityand even a one-time Holy Knight. Meantime, Rayleigh saved Kujo by scaring off the Blackbeard Pirates on the Amazon Lily. They are all at the same power level, wielding advanced Conqueror's Haki with great control.

Loki

Loki is the cursed prince of Elbafand will have a huge role in the current arc. Loki has yet to be seen using his full power but One piece the narrative builds him up to have truly terrifying powers.

Loki is said to possess the legendary Devil Fruitand years ago, before he ate it, it was said Loki took down his own father Harald who was on the level of Rocks D. Xebec. Shockingly, this was before he ate the fruit or even had access to the legendary Warhammer, Ragnir. Loki was so strong that Shanks defeated him.

Monkey D. Luffy

After the events in Wano, Luffy became the highest level One piece. Luffy gained the title of Yonko and unlocked his full Devil Fruit potential with Gear 5. He also wields all three forms of Haki with great proficiency.

On Egghead, while Luffy couldn't defeat the Gorosei, he was able to toy with them. Luffy still has a long way to go, but only a few One piece characters can stand up to him.

Monkey D. Dragon

Monkey D. Dragon is Luffy's father and leader of the revolutionary armythe greatest threat currently looming over the Sky Dragons. Fans don't really know his fighting style or his Devil Fruit power, but the Dragon is a force that can topple a world government. He is at least as strong as a Yonko, if not stronger.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard became Yonk after Whitebeard's falland his power only grew. Blackbeard has two Devil Fruits in his possession, Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi, both are legendary. Even without his Devil Fruits, Blackbeard is a huge threat.

After all, he had managed to leave quite a scar on Shanks' face years ago, and it wasn't because Shanks wasn't paying attention.

Shanks

Undoubtedly, currently the strongest Yonko in One Piece is none other than Shanksred-haired pirate. In the Final Saga Shanks proved how powerful he really is.

Shanks managed to shoot 3 billion forest piratesEustass Kid, easily and his Haki is so great that he has been compared to that of Joy Boy. Shanks also defeated Loki, someone who killed Harald, Rocks' equal. Shanks could be on the level of a prime Roger, even further at this point.

Im

There is no debate about that Imu is the strongest character from One piece. Imu stands at the top, including living and dead characters. In God Valley, Imu proved how they are better than everyone else. After all, they easily attacked the top 6 levels One piecewhich are Roger, Rocks, Big Mom, Kaido, Garp and Whitebeard. First of all, Ima was easily defeated by Rocks D. Xebec. No other character has ever performed such a feat.
