Madara Uchiha poses a formidable challenge for Naruto, but how does he compare to the characters in One Piece? While Madara achieved god-like power and defied death, it would be unfair to expect the characters in One Piece to defeat similarly unstoppable adversaries.
Now, let's imagine a scenario where Madara's abilities are limited and he cannot effortlessly summon meteors to attack his opponents. How would the notorious pirates and cutthroats of the Grand Line fare against the Uchiha clan's master manipulator? Let's find out.

Whitebeard and Nine other One Piece characters who can take down Madara
1) Enel

Enel, the merciless conqueror of Skypiea, possesses the extraordinary abilities granted by the Rumble-Rumble fruit. This incredible Devil Fruit grants him the power to transform into pure lightning and exercise absolute control over it. Furthermore, Enel has honed his skills in a unique form of haki known as 'mantra', allowing him to anticipate his adversary's movements, despite its imperfections.
Undoubtedly, Enel stands as one of the most formidable Logia type devil fruit users, and it is not difficult to understand why. The devastating force of lightning, especially when coupled with his mastery of haki, renders him a formidable opponent. Regrettably for Madara, unlike Luffy's resilient rubber body, his chances of emerging victorious against Enel are rather slim.
2) Portgas D. Ace

The son of Gol D. Roger, a renowned figure, possesses incredible fiery abilities to outsmart Madara. Similar to other logia type wielders, he possesses the ability to transform his body into an elemental form, specifically fire, using the Flame-Flame fruit. With this extraordinary power and mastery over fire, he becomes nearly invincible, overpowering users of ice and smoke logia abilities. He eventually realizes that the intense heat generated by the Magma Magma fruit has the potential to penetrate and burn through these elements.
Even so, Madara is unlikely to be aware of this in a direct confrontation and does not possess the ability to control magma. Similar to other logia users, Madara holds minimal to no possibility of overcoming the formidable fiery offspring of the Pirate King.
3) Crocodile

Renowned as one of the formidable Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile is a formidable combatant who nearly succeeded in conquering Alabasta. His dominion over sand, granted by the aptly named Sand-Sand fruit, grants him near invincibility in the absence of moisture. However, this advantage becomes his Achilles' heel, as water renders him as vulnerable as any ordinary individual.
Yet his ability to resist attacks while dry is not his only advantage; he also has the power to neutralize Madara's Sharingan. With his immunity to liquids and the ability to render Madara's Sharingan useless, Crocodile has a strong chance of emerging victorious once again against Madara.
4) Whitebeard
Whitebeard, featured in the image via Toei Animation, stands out as one of the most formidable pirates in the world of One Piece.
Following the demise of Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard earned a notorious reputation as the strongest pirate sailing the seas, getting tantalizingly close to uncovering the fabled treasure known as the One Piece. Madara would be wise not to underestimate the significance of this distinction. The awe-inspiring might of Whitebeard's Quake-Quake fruit is greatly feared, as it can unleash devastating shockwaves capable of wreaking havoc on any surface. Whether causing earthquakes or triggering tsunamis, the sheer power possessed by Whitebeard is enough to decimate entire islands.
Madara is clearly no match for Whitebeard at the height of his powers. With immense physical strength and a level of power that only a select few devil fruit users could hope to rival, Whitebeard would effortlessly defeat Madara, marking yet another triumph for One Piece.
5) Akainu

The fearsome Marine known for leaving a permanent "X" scar on Luffy's chest, Akainu, is another powerful Logia user. He possesses the Magma-Magma fruit, allowing him control over molten stone, complemented by his formidable haki abilities. Madara must elevate his game to endure the scorching power of Akainu.
Even so, would Madara be able to match the strength of such a formidable combatant? Perhaps, but it is certain that Akainu or Sanazuki would prevail. What would drive him against this daunting adversary? The sole thing that incessantly fuels Akainu: justice.
6) Blackbeard

Being the sole individual in the world of One Piece to possess two devil fruit powers, Blackbeard achieved notable victories over both Portgas D. Ace and Whitebeard. As a result, he undeniably ranks among the most formidable characters in One Piece and is certainly one of the few capable of challenging the formidable Madara.
With the Dark-Dark fruit and the Quake-Quake fruit he had stolen from Whitebeard, Marshall D. Teach has transformed into a formidable adversary in the world of One Piece. If these two villains were to cross paths, Madara would undoubtedly regret making an enemy out of Teach.
7) Garp
Garp, known for his incredible strength, stands out among the Marines as one of the most formidable individuals. He not only serves as a mentor and father figure to Luffy, but he has also earned the respect of the legendary Gol D. Roger himself. What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is the fact that Garp has achieved all of this without the aid of a devil fruit power.
A tough older man through and through, with sheer grit and determination, Garp could undoubtedly take on Madara Uchiha. It’d be a hard-won fight but a battle won nonetheless.
8) Donquixote Doflamingo

As a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo was ultimately removed from his position due to his numerous crimes. Utilizing the power of the String-String fruit, he wields near intangible razor wires that can be unleashed from any part of his body. These formidable strings not only ensnare his opponents but also grant him the ability to manipulate and control others, essentially turning them into captives within their own bodies.
Madara's defeat is imminent unless he can promptly decipher Doflamingo's power. Even if Madara manages to deliver a destructive blow, Doflamingo possesses the ability to mend himself using his string. In order for Madara to stand a chance at victory, he must devise a strategy to halt the manipulation of those strings.
9) Gol D. Roger
Regarded as the inaugural and sole monarch of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger is widely acknowledged as perhaps the most formidable and notorious individual in the world of One Piece. Although his immense power is mostly known through accounts passed down by Whitebeard and Garp, it is undeniable that he was a truly formidable presence.
The extent of Gol D. Roger's strength remains a mystery, except for his vulnerability to disease. Had it not been for his illness, he would never have allowed himself to be executed. Given his immense power and unwavering determination, it is undeniable that he would emerge victorious against Madara or any comparable adversary. There are only a handful of individuals within the world of One Piece who possess the ability to counter the might of this true Pirate King.
10) Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy poses a significant threat not only to numerous One Piece villains but also to formidable opponents like Madara. With his natural rubber-like abilities alone, he already poses a formidable challenge. However, throughout his adventure, Luffy has grown into an immensely powerful individual. The key to Madara's ultimate defeat lies in Luffy's utilization of Gear 5, which grants him exaggerated cartoon-like physics, enabling him to manipulate and outsmart his enemies in unique and unpredictable ways.
Furthermore, it significantly amplifies his already formidable Gear abilities. Despite Madara being at the peak of his power, he will most likely be unable to withstand the relentless assault. Luffy has reached an unparalleled level of strength and will undoubtedly continue to bolster his capabilities as he ventures into the concluding saga of One Piece.
Editor's P/S
As an One Piece fan, I am excited to see the potential matchups between the characters from the two universes. While Madara is undoubtedly a formidable opponent, the One Piece universe is filled with powerful characters who can give him a run for his money.
In particular, I believe that Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger have the best chance of defeating Madara. Whitebeard's devil fruit power, the Gura Gura no Mi, allows him to create earthquakes and tsunamis, which could be devastatingly effective against Madara. Additionally, Whitebeard's immense physical strength and durability make him a formidable opponent for anyone, even Madara. Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, is another character who could potentially defeat Madara. Roger is considered to be the strongest pirate in history, and his devil fruit power, the Gomu Gomu no Mi, gives him the ability to stretch and bounce like rubber. This power could be very effective against Madara, as it would allow Roger to dodge his attacks and counter with his own powerful blows.
