The old era has many powerful pirates, and Oda reveals the five strongest in One Piece.
Shanks
A Monster Who Was Feared By Akainu
Shanks was an apprentice on Gol D. Roger’s ship, and this made him somewhat of a student of Roger. He is a Haki master and a phenomenal swordsman who was able to go toe-to-toe against Mihawk. He has a very feared reputation, which was evident when he stopped the Marineford War with his mere words. Even a character such as Blackbeard feared for his life when he came face-to-face with this monster. On top of that, Shanks was the only pirate who defeated Loki in a battle, who was called the strongest giant in Elbaf.
Monkey D. Luffy
The Great Threat To The World Government Right Now
Luffy is the most feared man by the World Government, and he will ultimately bring them to their knees. He is a powerful pirate who has defeated many enemies, and he has a very strong will that even a Yonko can’t match. During his fight against Kaido, he awakened his Devil Fruit, which made even the Gorosei acknowledge him as a threat. Afterwards, he fought against Kaido and ultimately won against the King of the Beasts.
Kaido
World’s Strongest Creature
Kaido was the captain of the Beast Pirates and the hardest opponent Luffy ever faced. He has defeated Luffy multiple times, and he was using his strongest form at that time. Kaido even defeated the Nine Red Scabbards at the same time and afterwards fought against members of the Worst Generation. He did all this while lifting the entire island of Onigashima with his powers that drained his stamina. His Devil Fruit is also one of the strongest in the story, and it grants him more strength, speed, and durability that can’t be matched by anyone.
