The Seven Warlords of the Sea are among the most powerful figures existing in the world of One Piece. Each one of them has something special, especially related to their Devil Fruits and Haki. Whether it is extreme destructive powers, mind control capabilities, or mere tactical brilliance, each Warlord stands out in their potent ways. Discover the heart of the dangers posed by these Warlords.
12. Arlong – The Fish-Man Tyrant
A strong fish-man, Arlong is a large man with powerful strength and agility. However, Arlong has neither a Devil Fruit nor Haki. Therefore, his fight style relies largely on his raw strength and fish-man karate. Arlong is quite an intimidating foe to an unseasoned fighter. Still, this does not rank him as comparable to the others listed above since Arlong lacks both the strategic brain and Haki.
11. Buggy – The Clown
Buggy has the Chop-Chop Fruit, which makes him split into parts, controllable by him making it tough to hit him. However, his combat skills are not impressive, and his reliance on his Devil Fruit ability is his strength. Buggy does not have access to any kind of Haki. His position as both warlord and Yonko is fraudulent.
10. Crocodile – The Sand King
Crocodile possesses the Sand-Sand Fruit that enables him to control and become sand. He can use this power to pour the moisture out of his enemies’ bodies, make sandstorms to signify a severe storm, or form weapons or traps using sand. The Devil Fruit given to Crocodile gives him the power to become sand, enabling him to avoid attacks. Although Crocodile is an extremely tactical genius, his Devil Fruit does have some disadvantages, including the fact that he is sensitive to water. Armament Haki makes his attacks stronger, though he’s not nearly as potent as the other guys on this list. He’s using attacks based on sand and this strategic element that makes him quite a strong enemy.
9. Boa Hancock – The Pirate Empress
Boa Hancock has Love-Love Fruit, which she uses to transform anyone who falls in love with her into stone. She uses this power so that with just one glance she can neutralize opponents by turning them to stone, hence making her an extremely dangerous fighter. However, this power was somewhat limited by the emotional state of her opponents. People who are not affected by her beauty or charms, like Kuma or Law, are immune to her powers. Outside of her Devil Fruit, Hancock is a trained martial artist and can make use of Armament Haki to increase her physical attacks. She can also make use of Observation Haki to predict the movements of her opponent; however, it is her Devil Fruit that makes her deadly.
8. Edward Weevil – The Self-Proclaimed Son of Whitebeard
Edward Weevil claims to be the Whitebeard’s son, and has enormous physical power; one of the key reasons why his power is taken seriously. None of the history of the Devi Fruit is known yet, but certainly, he has considerable physical strength, and his battle endurance is upgraded. Weevil also possesses Armament Haki and enhances the might of his physical attacks, but to date, has yet to display the kind of tactical brilliance witnessed in some of the other Warlords. As a non-Fruit user, his pure strength makes him quite a formidable foe in close combat.
7. Gecko Moria – The King of Shadows
Gecko Moria’s Shadow-Shadow Fruit allows him to dominate and manipulate shadows, his own and other people’s. He can take someone’s shadow, and if the shadow is deprived of its owner for too long, it turns into a zombie controlled by Moria. Moria can also give strength to the shadows, and they become powerful creatures or even warriors. He can fight with his own shadow, using it as an extension of his body. Though Moria lacked Armament Haki, the strategic thinking and manipulation of shadows make him a really dangerous foe. His shadow army and control over others are parts of his power.
6. Jinbe – The Fish-Man Karate Master
Jinbe does not have Devil Fruit; his colossal power, however, rests upon Fish-Man Karate and Haki. His Fish-Man Karate gives him powers to manipulate water, which he uses as a deadly weapon; he can also create attacks if there is no water around since he could draw the surroundings to unleash some devastating attacks. Jinbe’s Armament Haki is extremely advanced and thus allows him to enhance his strength for defense purposes in a fight. Jinbe, with martial arts and Haki, is in itself a mighty force, considering he doesn’t have any Devil Fruit.
5. Trafalgar D. Water Law – The Surgeon of Death
Law has the Ope Ope no Mi, which can probably be counted among the most versatile and lethal fruits in existence within the world of One Piece. He could create a room where everything was possible under the limits he established. He can change positions with enemies, cut off limbs, and even do surgical operations on his targets while keeping them alive. Law can use Room to do average-distance attacks and displace objects. He also has Armament Haki, which he uses to coat his weapons and enhance his attacks. With Ope Ope no Mi combined with Haki, this character becomes extremely unpredictable and lethal for anyone on his battlelist.
4. Donquixote Doflamingo – The Heavenly Demon
His string-string fruit make strings which he could create and command that would be like sharp blades, and he could even bind people to use as weapons for himself. For example, strings could control any environment: to turn an entire city into a puppet in his hands or just make people work like puppets. Doflamingo is also very skilled in Armament Haki, using it to coat his strings with a protective layer that makes them even more dangerous and resistant to attacks. Doflamingo’s smart brain, powerful Devil Fruit, and strong Haki can make him an extremely lethal one in a battle.
3. Bartholomew Kuma – The Silent Beast
Kuma, using his Paw-Paw Fruit, is capable of repelling everything; the list includes both physical attacks and even humans, including invisible forces, like pain and emotions. He can send attacks flying back at his enemies, redirect projectiles, or even send enemies across vast distances with a single paw swipe. His cyborg enhancements give him enhanced durability and allow him to generate and store energy to unleash devastating attacks. Kuma also possesses Armament Haki, which strengthens his attacks and enhances his defensive powers. This together makes him flexible in both offense and defense with the powers of Devil Fruit and Haki.
2. Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach) – The Dark Emperor
Blackbeard is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous creatures in the One Piece world mostly because of his dual Devil Fruit abilities. The Dark-Dark Fruit gives him the capability to create a black hole of gravity that can suck up attacks as well as be able to make other Devil Fruits useless to anyone, placing it among some of the most dangerous and catastrophically destructive capabilities. He has another one called the Quake-Quake Fruit, which could cause earthquakes and shockwaves to destroy islands and their contents. Blackbeard also employs Armament Haki, which enables him to maintain tolerance of attacks and amplify strength in his physical fight. With the potential of using two Devil Fruits, he is an example of creative destructive power and no one could be at his level. Thus, the menace is significant in any condition.
1. Dracule Mihawk – The Greatest Swordsman
Even though Mihawk has no Devil Fruit, he is the greatest swordsman in the world because of his powerful Haki. His Observation Haki is very well developed since it allows him easily to predict the movement of his opponent. Mihawk’s potential real strength lies in his mastery over swordsmanship with his fabulous sword, Yoru. However, he has a great understanding of Armament Haki as well, which he uses to make the blade even more devastating. He can coat his sword using his Haki, which enables him to cut through almost anything in his way, not even excluding logia-type Devil Fruits. Mihawk’s mixture of swordsmanship and Haki puts him on the top list, even without possessing a Devil Fruit.
