This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Final Saga.
Overview
- The Yonko are currently the most powerful figures in the One Piece universe.
- The full extent of Imu’s powers is still a mystery to fans.
- Luffy, embodying Joy Boy, is on a trajectory to outshine all other characters in terms of strength.
The Current Mightiest in One Piece
The landscape of One Piece is populated by an array of formidable characters, making it difficult to determine the strongest among them. Historically, Kaido held the title of the strongest creature and a formidable pirate until his recent inactivity. With Kaido and Big Mom no longer active, the current focus shifts to the remaining Four Emperors.
Shanks stands out due to his extensive experience and is frequently considered the most powerful pirate in the present One Piece world. Blackbeard also ranks among the most influential, seeking to expand his power by acquiring more Devil Fruits.

Additionally, the recent revelations about the Five Elders on Egghead have showcased their impressive abilities, which include seemingly immortality-like powers, reinforcing their position among the elite. Imu, who resides above them, is anticipated to be one of the strongest characters as well.
Dragon is another noteworthy contender, with potential power that fans are eager to see unleashed. As it stands, while Shanks is currently thought to be the mightiest, the final resolution of strength among characters may still be up for debate as the narrative progresses.
What Makes Joy Boy the Strongest in One Piece History
Joy Boy Could Be One Step Above Shanks
When discussing historical figures who could rival Shanks, legendary pirates like Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger come to mind. Roger, who achieved the status of Pirate King, relied heavily on Haki, like Shanks. His battle with Whitebeard, which ended in a draw despite Roger’s illness, illustrates their comparable strength.
Shanks has often been likened to Roger, with assertions that he may be the next Pirate King, reflecting their similar Haki capabilities and combat strategies. However, when comparing all these powerful figures, Joy Boy distinctly emerges as the strongest of all time. During the Egghead Arc, Joy Boy showcased his overwhelming Haki, which not only astonished the audience but also physically affected the highly ranked Five Elders, illustrating the magnitude of his might.

Why Luffy Will Be One Piece’s Strongest Character
Luffy Is Already on the Path to Becoming the Strongest of All Time
Luffy’s identity as Joy Boy indicates that he is destined to eclipse legendary figures like Shanks, Roger, and Whitebeard. To claim his position as the most powerful character on the seas, Luffy must not only embody Joy Boy’s legacy but surpass it. Currently, his mastery of Gear 5 aligns with Joy Boy’s latent potential, indicating he is already on the right path.
However, achieving unparalleled control over his Haki remains a crucial endeavor. The recent events on Egghead Island hinted at what Luffy could become, suggesting that after the impending final war, he is poised to emerge as the ultimate warrior in the world of One Piece.
Fans can follow Luffy’s journey and explore the vibrant world of One Piece through official sources like Viz Media and the Manga Plus apps, with the next chapter (One Piece 1134) scheduled for release on December 22, 2024.
