One Piece: 7 Strongest Devil Users In Each Yonko Crew

In the One Piece franchise, the Yonko are considered to be the greatest pirates of their age, with most of them typically existing towards the top of the strongest character discussion. As such, they are often viewed as some of the most important and powerful figures in the entire story, both on the side of the pirates as well as the World Government.

It’s known that one can’t reach the higher levels of strength in the world of One Piece without Haki. While this is undoubtedly true, some incredibly powerful Devil Fruits count for just as much, so in this article, let’s go over and rank the most powerful Devil Fruit users in the Yonko crews throughout the series.

The Red Hair Pirates Don’t Have A Devil Fruit User

The Strongest Overall Crew

Considering all the Yonko crews in the series, it can be argued that the Red Hair Pirates are the strongest overall, which is a fact that is further corroborated by them having the highest cumulative bounty. This shows that Shanks’ crew has the least amount of variance in general power, which attributes to their exceptional overall strength.

The most impressive aspect of this is that all of this power and legendary status that the crew enjoys is purely due to their raw strength, since there is not a single member of the Red Hair Pirates who uses a Devil Fruit ability. Because of this, everyone in this crew has immense strength and skill with Haki.

Sir Crocodile Has An Incredibly Powerful Logia Fruit

Crew: Cross Guild

In the early days of One Piece, Logia Devil Fruits were generally considered to be the strongest in the world, and there was no better personification of this early-era strength than Crocodile. With his ability to manipulate sand, he took over Alabasta and defeated Luffy multiple times throughout their engagements during the arc.

However, Crocodile has always been recognized as a schemer and mastermind over being a fighter. His talent was always in complex plots that would eventually bear fruit down the line, which is the primary reason why he teamed up with Mihawk and Buggy to create Cross Guild, which functions more as a criminal empire that Crocodile operates than a pirate crew.

Big Mom Had One Of The Strongest Paramecia Fruits

Crew: Big Mom Pirates

Throughout the world of One Piece, Big Mom is known as one of the most legendary and powerful figures in history. Though she has always had substantial Haki powers, and is one of the few people ever to be able to utilize Conqueror’s Haki, the real reason for her incredible power, as well as the empire she built, was her incredible Soru Soru no Mi Devil Fruit.

In essence, this Devil Fruit allows her to manipulate the souls of those who are afraid of her, which she can then even imbue onto inanimate objects that are loyal to her. The strongest of these ‘homies’ are the ones made from her own soul, which are considered to be some of the strongest weapons in the entire series.

Kaido’s Mythical Zoan Allowed Him To Defeat Hundreds

Crew: Beast Pirates

Out of all the enemies whom Luffy has fought to this day, most consider Kaido to be the only one to truly match him. This is because Kaido not only defeated Luffy twice before their ultimate fight with no effort, but their final battle required Luffy to unlock Gear 5 to defeat a version of the villain who hadn’t even rested after fighting some very powerful characters non-stop.

Kaido had the legendary Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, which remains one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in all of One Piece. Because of this, he merged the immense physical boosts he got from the fruit with his incredible Haki prowess, which made him a nightmare for anyone to fight. His full Zoan form turned him into a towering dragon that could lift islands, making Kaido insanely overpowered.

Luffy Has The Strongest Mythical Zoan In The Story

Crew: Straw Hat Pirates

Within the Straw Hats, Luffy is the strongest Devil Fruit user, and it isn’t even remotely close. What he initially thought was a Paramecia type eventually turned out to be the strongest and most important Devil Fruit in the entire series, which allows Luffy to awaken a transformation that can manipulate reality to a degree.

However, due to having the strongest Devil Fruit, why isn’t he the strongest here? This is because the Elbaf arc showed his limitations with Gear 5, which are Luffy’s own. Despite the amazing power, Luffy still has a long way to go before he can stay in the form for a long time, and even then, his overall power is still far below what the strongest figures in the story can do.

2

Whitebeard’s Paramecia Could Destroy The World

Crew: Whitebeard Pirates

Throughout all the Yonko crews, the Whitebeard Pirates are arguably the strongest when it comes to collective Devil Fruit users, with powerful members like Marco or Jozu coming to mind. However, naturally, none are above the legendary captain Whitebeard, whose Haki and Devil Fruit abilities earned him the title of the World’s Strongest Man.

Whitebeard’s strength is the stuff of legend, since he was always considered to be an equal to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, himself. His Devil Fruit was the Gura Gura no Mi, which let him create tremors off of any surface that were so strong that they were said to have enough power to destroy the world if Whitebeard wanted. Due to his Haki proficiency and the sheer strength of his fruit, it’s clear that Luffy still hasn’t surpassed him.

Blackbeard Is The Only Person Who Can Use Two Devil Fruits

Crew: Blackbeard Pirates

Without a doubt, the most unpredictable and dangerous character in the entire series is Blackbeard, whose actual most powerful tool is his cunning and manipulative nature. This is precisely how he was able to get both of his Devil Fruits, which have made him the most powerful Devil Fruit user in the modern era, perhaps even of all time.

This is simply because he is the only one who can use two different Devil Fruit powers. However, as if that weren’t enough, he owns Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi and the Yami Yami no Mi, both of which are the most powerful Devil Fruits in their respective classes. The latter alone can negate fruit powers, easily making Blackbeard the strongest Devil Fruit user in One Piece.
