10Vinsmoke Sanji
TheStraw Hat cookmay not seem like much of a fighter at first, but under his friendly demeanor hides a fierce warrior. Due to his Vinsmoke heritage, Sanji was born with augmented capabilities, meaning he is stronger, faster, and more durable than other humans.

These abilities came in handy during his fight against Queen, who forced the blonde man to push past his limits and stop running from his power. Once he regained his confidence, Sanji accomplished the monumental task of defeating Queen, even without a Raid Suit. Still, he did receive heavy damage during the fight, proving he was not as strong as other warriors in the Land of Wano.
For a long time, Marco was known for being Whitebeard’s second in command. He gained this prestigious title due to his incredible power and fighting prowess. His Devil Fruit power allowed Marco to turn completely or partially into a Blue Phoenix. Besides increasing his fighting skills, this transformation gave Marco the ability to fly and heal wounds.
He was an invaluable asset during the Onigashima raid, acting as a frontline fighter in the Live Floor. He managed to fight against Queen and King at the same time, although the All-Stars were distracted several times by other warriors. It is due to the aid he received in battle that Marco cannot be considered a stronger fighter, as we do not know if he would have won the battle.
8Eustass Kid
Only a few people in the world of One Piece can say they have gone toe-to-toe with the Emperors of the Sea. The captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass, is one of these individuals. During the battle against the Animal Kingdom Pirates, Kid aided his fellow Supernovas in the fight against Kaido and Big Mom.

Thanks to his Devil Fruit, which grants him the ability to create electromagnetic fields and manipulate metal, Kid created strong constructions that separated Big Mom from her ally. This gave Law and Kid a chance to defeat the Yonko by attacking her at the same time. Nonetheless, he still struggled to deal damage to Big Mom for a long time and could not have defeated her without help.
7Trafalgar D. Water Law
Captain Kid could not have defeated the imposing and terrifying Big Mom if not for the help of his fellow pirate,the former Warlord Captain Law. Trafalgar has been hailed as one of the strongest and smartest characters in the show. Unlike most other pirates, he always tries to come up with a plan before engaging an enemy.
His plans and strategic mind were invaluable for the Alliance to win against Kaido’s army. Law’s power allows him to alter the anatomy, orientation, or movement of any being or object in a specific radius. By using this power, Trafalgar performed incredibly precise cuts on his opponents, weakening them greatly. Sadly, he was also gravely injured and could have died several times during the fight.
Throughout the entire world, Kaido’s right-hand man was feared for his ruthlessness in combat and his impressive power. After being saved by Kaido from the inhumane experiments he was subjected to, King swore undying loyalty to the Emperor. When his master was attacked, King used all of his power to prevent Luffy and his allies from winning.

With his Devil Fruit power, the ability to turn into a gigantic Pteranodon-human hybrid. He also had the natural ability to engulf his body in flames, which could cause mortal wounds to his enemies. King was powerful enough to defeat many adversaries during the Onigashima battle. Woefully, he was defeated by Zoro, who proved to be several times stronger than the Lunarian warrior.
5Roronoa Zoro
One of Luffy’s most loyal friends, Zoro, has been one of the most important characters in One Piece since the beginning. As the show progressed, we have seen the green-haired swordsman’s strength grow. We finally saw the fruits of his training during the Onigashima Raid, in which Luffy and his allies would have most likely died without Zoro there.
Not only was the swordsman capable of repealing a combined attack from both Big Mom and Kaido, but he also continued to fight even after doing so, breaking all of his bones. After recovering for only a short time, Zoro went on to defeat King, even when he was nearly collapsing during the battle. Nevertheless, he still could not damage Kaido, a feat that only the three most powerful characters could achieve.
For the longest time, one woman inflicted fear into the hearts of pirates worldwide forher monstrous strength and cruel behavior. This woman was none other than the only female Yonko, Charlotte Lin Lin. During the Wano Country Arc, she allied with Kaido to take down the World Government and establish pirates as the new rulers.

With her Homies by her side, Big Mom proved to be a formidable adversary with superhuman strength and unbelievable resistance. She fought side by side with Kaido and seemed to be nigh-unbeatable. It took the combined effort of both Kid and Law to finally put an end to her reign of terror. Yet, she was defeated in the end, a feat that proves that she was not infallible like she believed.
3Kozuki Oden
Born as the heir to the Land of Wano, Oden was banished from the Capital City for being too adventurous for his father’s liking. He went on to travel to a distant town named Kuri, filled with criminals. With his amazing sword-fighting skills, Oden defeated every evildoer and transformed Kuri into a paradise.
He was hailed for being the strongest swordsman alive, as no adversary had ever come close to defeating him. When Kaido attempted to take over the Land of Wano, Oden was the one to face the imposing beast. He managed to severely wound the Yonko, leaving him with a deep scar. Lamentably, his trusting nature was his downfall, allowing Kaido to kill the nobleman.
Long before the Onigashima Raid began, Kaido arrived at the Land of Wano with the intent of overtaking the nation. He spent years tormenting the inhabitants of Wano, stealing their resources, and killing those who dared oppose him. No one could dare defy the gigantic man due to his enormous strength and impossibly strong Devil Fruit.
Kaido could transform fully or completely into a Blue Dragon, which gave him the power to fly and shoot fire. The Emperor was also one of the most resilient people in the world, able to withstand attacks from warriors like Luffy, Law, and even Oden. Tragically for Kaido, he found his match in Luffy, ending his time as the ruler of Wano.
1Monkey D. Luffy
The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy, had to face his biggest challenge yet during the Wano Country Arc. Determined to save Momonosuke’s future shogunate,Luffy faced Kaido and Big Momwithout any concern for his own life. He gave it his all in hopes of defeating the two Emperors and bringing peace to the Land of Wano.
During this fight, Luffy’s Devil Fruit, the Gum-Gum Fruit, evolved, revealing itself to be the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika. This granted the Straw Hat captain the powers of the Sun God himself, allowing him to turn any object, human, or material he touched into rubber. Using this power, Luffy managed to surpass the laws of physics, cementing himself as the most powerful warrior in Wano.
