Unveiling the Untapped Powerhouses: Non-Yonko Pirates Capable of Rivaling the Mighty Yonkos

Highlights

Shiki, a former pirate and rival of Roger, was a Yonko level pirate with unknown whereabouts.

Kuzan, a renowned former Marine Admiral and member of the Blackbeard Pirates, is officially classified as a pirate of Yonko caliber.

With her incredible abilities often underestimated, Boa Hancock possesses formidable Haki skills, placing her at the level of a Yonko pirate.

The Yonko, also known as the Four Emperors, reign supreme as the most formidable pirates in the world of One Piece. These four individuals hold absolute dominion over the treacherous New World, boasting unrivaled power and influence that even the World Government cannot challenge. Although the elite group is limited to just four Emperors, there are other pirates who have managed to achieve comparable levels of might throughout their roguish careers without gaining the prestigious Yonko title. While some pirates simply have no interest in claiming this title, others have wielded their immense strength to support different influential roles. Among these remarkable pirates who can be deemed Yonko-level, only a select few truly stand apart at the pinnacle.

5 Shiki

Once a member of the Rocks Crew, Shiki was a formidable pirate in the world of One Piece. Following the events at God Valley, he ventured on his own path and built a formidable Armada. Renowned for his strength, Shiki was considered a worthy adversary even for Roger. Despite being imprisoned in Impel Down, Shiki managed to devise a plan to escape. Although he successfully fled the prison, he has since disappeared from the pirate world. With his abilities rivaling that of a Yonko and his ability to hold his own against Roger, Shiki's current location remains a mystery, and it is unlikely that fans will ever witness his presence in One Piece again.

4 Kuzan

Kuzan, a former Marine Admiral, has now joined the Blackbeard Pirates as their 10th Ship Captain. As one of the strongest members of this formidable pirate fleet, his previous rank in the Marines confirms his immense power in the world of One Piece.

During the Paramount War Saga, Kuzan demonstrated his ability to rival a Yonko, showcasing his overwhelming strength. His exceptional powers come from his Hie Hie no Mi Devil Fruit and his formidable Haki. Considering that all Marine Admirals have a Three Crowns bounty placed on them by the Cross Guild, it is reasonable to believe that Kuzan's bounty exceeds 3 billion berries. This further solidifies his status as a Yonko-level pirate.

3 Boa Hancock

Hancock is an incredibly underestimated pirate in the world of One Piece. Despite being discredited by many, she possesses an immense amount of strength, much of which can be attributed to her Devil Fruit powers. With this fruit, she is able to turn both humans and inanimate objects into stone, leaving those who are attracted to her completely helpless. Even emotionless beings like Pacifistas can be petrified by her abilities.

The true extent of her power remains unknown, with even Blackbeard himself pursuing it. Blackbeard admitted that if given the chance, Hancock could easily defeat him and turn him to stone in an instant. It was for this reason that Blackbeard resorted to launching a surprise attack on her to neutralize her Devil Fruit powers. However, even without her fruit abilities, Hancock possesses incredibly powerful Haki. The Kuja Tribe, to which she belongs, is known for their expertise in Haki usage. Even non-combatants of the tribe are capable of utilizing Haki. Among them, Hancock has the strongest and most controlled Haki, mastering all three types. Fans can undoubtedly expect her to be proficient in all advanced forms of Haki. Despite her relatively low bounty of 1.659 billion berries, she is undoubtedly on par with the Yonko level of pirates.

2 Rayleigh

Rayleigh, also known as the Dark King, is the formidable right-hand man of the Pirate King. Without a doubt, he possesses the skills of a Yonko-level pirate, commanding all three forms of Haki with exceptional proficiency. Remarkably, he achieves this level of power without the aid of a Devil Fruit. Renowned and revered, Garp himself regards Rayleigh as a legendary figure, mentioning him in the same breath as the mighty Whitebeard. Despite his age, Rayleigh effortlessly restrains Kizaru, further highlighting his incredible abilities. It is clear that in his prime, he would have matched the power of the Yonko.

1 Mihawk

Dracule Mihawk, the renowned swordsman, holds the title of the world's strongest. As a member of the Cross Guild and subordinate to Buggy, he wields extraordinary power, placing him on par with the legendary Emperors of the Sea. With a staggering bounty of 3.590 billion berries, Mihawk's superiority speaks for itself.

Regarded as surpassing even the skills of Shanks, Mihawk's mastery of the sword is unparalleled. Undoubtedly, he is a formidable pirate capable of rivaling any Emperor of the Sea. While fans have yet to witness his full potential, the Final Saga of One Piece hints at an imminent revelation of his true strength.
