Brief retelling

• Yonko are currently on top of the world.
• The full extent of the IMU's power remains unknown to fans.
• Luffy, as Joy Boy, is on his way to surpassing all other characters in strength.

World One piece has introduced fans to many powerful characters over the years. Right from the get-go, fans knew they were pirates in the One piece A world that possessed a powerful force, and at the same time, powerful marines who were on the tail of these pirates and sought to bring them to justice. Then, over time, fans also learned about other influential organizations in the One piece The world, for example, is a revolutionary army, and they also have their fair share of powerful men. Undoubtedly, the new world has monsters of power crawling everywhere, particularly in the new world.

Now the four emperors are definitely among the elite One piece The world, speaking of pirates, and on the part of the government, Imu and the elders seem to be the ones on top. This order is likely to change significantly in one piece over the next few years, especially since Final War in the Kickstarts series.

The current most powerful at one time

• Yonko are at the very top
• The full extent of the IMU's power remains unknown

There are a lot of powerful people in the One Piece world right now, and that's what makes it hard to outright say who the strongest character in the series is. Until recently, Kaido was one of the four emperors of the sea, and Oda clearly stated that Kaido is the strongest being, and at the same time, the strongest pirate. But now Kaida is no more, or at least he is no longer active. Along with Kaido, Big Mom is also inactive, meaning the current four emperors are in the forefront. When it comes to pirates, Shanks has the most experience and might just be the strongest of the lot. Blackberd is also there when it comes to being the most powerful in One piece the world right now.

Then the authority of the five elders must also be considered. They recently showed off their abilities on Egghead, and at the same time, fans also got to see their incredible immortal powers. The five elders have their position, and it is truly among the strongest, and of course the Him who is above them is probably one of the strongest.

The dragon is definitely hovering around the same area, and fans know he's going to be one of the most powerful characters they've ever seen once he's out.

At this point, Shanks is the one with the strongest case to be the most powerful hero in the One piece. Blackbeard is still not a finished product, especially since he is still hunting devil fruit, as was clear from his Amazon Lily Dehour. Shanks' incredible haki, and the fact that he has been compared directly to Roger many times, is proof that as things stand, he is the most powerful in the world and a force to be reckoned with. But although Shanky may be the strongest character in the One piece Now, fans can't say for sure that he will be the strongest character in the series. In fact, there is a good chance that Shanks will be outclassed, and at the same time there may be characters that are stronger than the one that existed in the past.

Which makes Joy Boy the strongest ever

Joy Boy might be one step above Shanks

When talking about characters that existed in the past that might have been stronger than Shanks, the likes of Whitebeard and Roger come to mind. In particular, fans know that Roger is a character who was at the top of his era and, like Shanks, relied solely on Haki in battle. Roger became the pirate king and he did it all with his haki. Roger is believed to be as strong as Whitebeard despite carrying the disease, and this was marked by their battle resulting in a tie.

The thing is, Roger was very sick at this point in the story, which basically means he was already nerfed when they fought. Roger's Haki was stronger than Whitebeard's – proof that he was superior to him in some ways, even though the two were equal in terms of martial prowess.

Shanks has now been compared to Roger many times and has been claimed by many to be the next Pirate King. Their genius, like their hacks, can also be matched, given that Shanks literally takes pages from Roger's book and uses them and fights effortlessly. But even taking these three characters aside, there is one person who is clearly the strongest of all time One piece And that man is none other than Joy Boy.

No matter how strong Roger, Belabarata, and Shanky are, none of them hold a candle to Joy Boy. Fans saw a glimpse of Joy Boy's power as he unleashed his strongest haki in Egged's arc in one piece, and in doing so, the sky above Egged was shattered. His Haki was so strong that the five elders were knocked out of their demonic transformations and Saturn's summoning also failed. The four elders were transported back to Marijoa while Saturn remained and recruited on Egged. All the vice admirals were knocked out and even the giants were shocked to see the level of haki that was displayed. This was the greatest feat of Haki that fans have seen in one piece, and it just goes to show that Joy Boy was the strongest character of his time and certainly the most powerful in the history of the series.

Why Luffy will be the strongest character in One Piece

Luffy is on his way to becoming the strongest of all time

The fact that Luffy is a joy, the boy essentially continues to prove that he will surpass the likes of Shanks, Roger, and Whitebeard in the future. If he is to be the strongest hero in the seas, he must live up to the comparisons to the original boy Joy. In fact, Luffy actually has to pull a step ahead as he has to do what Joy Boy couldn't do.

Luffy will have to become even stronger and he will definitely continue to do so in the future. Luffy now has access to the Gear 5 that Joy Boy also made, which basically means that one part of the job is already done. The second half of the question still remains, and that is improving overall control over your haki. What fans saw on Egged Island is a way to show readers what level Luffy will reach in the future. Fans can rest assured that after the final war, Luffy will be the strongest hero in the seas and that he will surpass all in One piece.

One piece is available to read through Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next One Piece chapter, One Piece 1134, is set to be December 22, 2024.
