THAT Pirates are the main characters of ONE PIECE: Despite the presence of bounty hunters, marines acting as this world’s police force, and the various government agents, it’s Luffy and his colleagues who rampage through the pages written and drawn by Eiichiro Oda. And many of the wars that we have seen were fought by them.
Who are currently the strongest pirates of ONE PIECE?? We’ve already seen who are the strongest Mugiwara and the Yonkos, from weakest to strongest, but now let’s create an overall ranking of those five best pirates of the moment.
The rankings are inevitably all about the five emperors of the sea. Right at this moment, Luffy has made huge strides forward with some upgrades appearing in Wano one after the other. First on the main island and then on Onigashima, Luffy has discovered his true power and this allows him to face the Emperors on an equal footing.
It’s enough for appear in the top 5 ONE PIECE pirates, although the position in this list is always worth seeing. Although he will become the strongest pirate by the end of the manga, he might be a little lacking to be at the top right now. While waiting for Wano to end, we place Luffy in fifth place.
Then the other four emperors remain, probably in this ascending order: Shanks, Blackbeard, Big Mom and Kaido. But here, too, there could be setbacks in the short term, Blackbeard is supposed to defeat the two who seem to be on top for the time being. Not to mention that Teach may have a lot of weapons in stock that haven’t been precisely identified yet.
