One Piece: Unveiling the Unstoppable Powerhouses of the Whitebeard Pirates

In the world of One Piece, pirates reign supreme, steadily increasing their influence over time. Notably, the Four Emperors emerge as the most prominent figures. Each Emperor possesses immense strength, posing a significant threat to global security.

Among the original Four Emperors was Edward Newgate, who is more commonly referred to as Whitebeard. He led the formidable Whitebeard Pirates, ultimately gaining renown as the strongest pirate crew globally. While Whitebeard enjoys the greatest notoriety within the crew, other members possess the capability to contend with the most formidable characters in the One Piece universe.

7 Blackbeard

Blackbeard was enlisted by Whitebeard as a young child, with the renowned pirate showing him compassion and granting him membership in his crew. Blackbeard's intention was to remain inconspicuous, avoiding drawing the gaze of others.

Within Whitebeard's crew, Blackbeard served in Ace's division, and despite being offered a promotion, he rejected it in order to pursue his own aspirations. Blackbeard was observed utilizing a weapon resembling a claw, yet whether or not he possessed any abilities stemming from a Devil Fruit is still uncertain.

6 Ace

Ace became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates long after his father's death, driven by his desire to establish his own reputation. His target was the Four Emperors, and after an extensive search, he had the chance to confront his father's greatest rival. The outcome was predictable, but Whitebeard extended an invitation for Ace to join his crew.

Ace accepted the offer and gradually grew closer to his new comrades. Utilizing his Mera Mera no Mi powers, he swiftly ascended the ranks and was ultimately appointed as the 2nd Division Commander. Although he possessed all three forms of Haki, his mastery of these abilities was yet to be honed. Had he lived longer, Ace would have undoubtedly become one of the most renowned pirates in the world.

5 Jozu

Jozu, the leader of the fighter division, was an imposing figure within the Whitebeard Pirates. Alongside his fellow crew members, Jozu showed unwavering loyalty to Captain Whitebeard, even defending him against the onslaught of Crocodile and Aokiji.

Jozu's specialty lies in combat, where he excels. His mastery of Busoshoku Haki grants him remarkable control, allowing him to inflict severe damage upon an Admiral, causing them to bleed from their mouth. In addition, Jozu possesses immense physical strength, as demonstrated when he effortlessly hurled a massive block of ice towards the Marines. Despite his colossal size, Jozu surprises with his agility, evident by his ability to swiftly overpower Crocodile. Furthermore, Jozu possesses the power of the Kira Kira no Mi, a Devil Fruit that allows him to encase any part of his body in a layer of diamond. In this transformed state, Jozu effortlessly withstood the most powerful strike from Mihawk, showcasing his incredible resilience.

4 Vista

Vista, formerly the 5th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was renowned as the crew's most skilled swordsman. His abilities were widely recognized by pirates around the world, with even Mihawk himself acknowledging Vista's swordsmanship during their time in Marineford.

Not only was Vista able to hold his own against Mihawk, but he also possessed the ability to utilize Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki. He skillfully used the former to successfully cut Akainu. Despite his impressive displays, Vista's true power remains a mystery, and fans may never have the chance to witness the full extent of his abilities.

3 Marco

Marco, one of the oldest members of the Whitebeard Pirates, started as an apprentice and eventually rose to become Whitebeard's trusted right-hand man. After Whitebeard's demise, Marco led the remaining crew members in a confrontation against the Blackbeard Pirates, resulting in a devastating defeat.

Although Marco's appearance in the story was delayed until the Wano Country arc, he joined forces with the alliance to assist in their mission to overthrow Kaido. Remarkably, Marco single-handedly held off both King and Queen, showcasing his remarkable skill. He also engaged in a brief battle with Big Mom. Thanks to his Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix fruit, Marco possesses the ability to transform into a phoenix at his will. Utilizing blue flames, he is capable of self-healing and bestowing healing properties upon others.

2 Kozuki Oden

Kozuki Oden, a legendary samurai hailing from Wano, possessed a rebellious spirit and an insatiable desire for exploration. However, his lacking navigation skills hindered his ability to venture beyond his homeland. When the Whitebeard Pirates unexpectedly arrived in Wano, Oden eagerly sought them out.

After engaging in a fierce encounter with Whitebeard, Oden persistently pleaded to join the crew. Initially met with resistance, his determination eventually convinced Whitebeard to accept him. Oden proved himself as a formidable warrior, wielding the powerful swords Ame no Habakiri and Enma. Utilizing these weapons, he inflicted a massive scar upon Kaido's chest.

1 Whitebeard

Undoubtedly, Whitebeard stands as the most formidable member within his crew. Following the God Valley Incident, he took on the role of founder for the Whitebeard Pirates. Titles and riches held no value to him; the well-being of his crew was always his top priority. Vigilant and fiercely protective, Whitebeard would never allow harm to befall his loyal allies.

Whitebeard possessed the incredibly powerful Gura Gura no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that granted him the ability to create devastating earthquakes. In addition, he possessed mastery over all three forms of Haki, further augmenting his already unrivaled strength. Given his formidable arsenal, it comes as no surprise that he earned the revered title of the "Strongest Man in the World." Regrettably, Whitebeard's life ultimately met its end during the intense events of the Marineford arc.
