7 Bartholomew Kuma
Affiliations: Revolutionary Army, World Government
- Devil Fruit: Niku Niku no Mi
- Rights: Yes
Bartholomew Kuma was born 47 years ago in the Sorbet Kingdom. Despite his promising beginnings with loving parents, tragedy befell him when the World Government intervened, leading to his mother’s death in captivity and his father being killed by a Celestial Dragon. Kuma found himself imprisoned until the incident at God Valley.
After consuming the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Kuma gained paw-like pads on his palms, which he uses to deflect attacks and propel himself or adversaries at incredible speeds. His Armament Haki is exceptionally strong; one of his punches was sufficient to send Saint Jaygarcia Saturn crashing into nearby structures.
6 Portgas D. Ace
Affiliation: Whitebeard Pirates
- Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi
- Rights: Yes
Ace, the son of the famed Gol D. Roger, was born during a turbulent time; his mother, Rouge, delayed her labor to avoid capture by the Marines, demonstrating remarkable willpower.
From a young age, Ace showcased extraordinary potential, which only intensified as he matured. He eventually consumed the Mera Mera no Mi, granting him the ability to generate and manipulate fire. While Ace had access to various forms of Haki, he never achieved mastery in them.
5 Lucky Roux
Affiliation: Red Hair Pirates
Lucky Roux is a leading officer and the cook of the Red Hair Pirates, remaining a steadfast companion to Shanks. He notably became the first character to claim a life in the One Piece narrative.
Though a senior member of the Red Hair Pirates, the extent of Lucky Roux’s powers remains ambiguous due to his minimal screen exposure. Fans are hopeful for more revelations in the Final Saga of One Piece.
4 Eustace Kid
Affiliation: Kid Pirates
- Devil Fruit: Jiki Jiki no Mi
- Rights: Yes
Eustass Kid stands as the captain of the notorious Kid Pirates, one of the most feared crews in the New World. He hails from an unnamed island in South Blue, an area devoid of World Government affiliation, continuing to face harsh living conditions. It was on this island he gathered his crew before setting sail.
By consuming the Jiki Jiki no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Kid acquired the ability to manipulate magnetic forces of attraction and repulsion. Over time, he honed this ability during countless battles and effectively awakened his Devil Fruit powers. Kid is also proficient in all three types of Haki, which provides him significant combat advantages.
3 Ryokugyu
Affiliation: Marines, World Government
- Devil Fruit: Mori Mori no Mi
- Rights: Yes
Originating from the Taya Kingdom in South Blue, Ryokugyu’s backstory includes a stint as a police officer before he was imprisoned due to an incident involving a woman. After spending two years behind bars, the World Government intervened, granting him freedom and elevating him to the rank of Marine Admiral.
He wields the Mori Mori no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants him the ability to induce plant life at will. This power enables him to transform into a colossal wooden golem capable of overpowering formidable opponents, such as the Nine Scabbards. Ryokugyu is skilled in both Armament and Observation Haki.
2. Sengoku
Affiliation: Marines, World Government
- Devil Fruit: Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu
- Rights: Yes
Sengoku was born in South Blue and dedicated himself to the Marines at age 23. Capitalizing on his exceptional abilities, he swiftly climbed the ranks to ascend to Fleet Admiral. Under his command, the Marines emerged victorious during the Summit War.
His mastery over all three types of Haki places him among the elite. Additionally, Sengoku possesses the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform into a Golden Buddha. In this state, he can unleash powerful shock waves capable of nullifying even the might of the Gura Gura no Mi.
1 Kuzan
Affiliation: Blackbeard Pirates
- Devil Fruit: Hie Hie no Mi
- Rights: Yes
Kuzan currently serves as the Titanic Captain of the Tenth Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. Previously an Admiral in the Navy, he departed after a fierce duel with Sakazuki on Punk Hazard ended unfavorably for him.
Born around 49 years ago in South Blue, Kuzan’s hometown remains classified, potentially to be revealed in a future SBS. He initially joined the Marines and diligently trained to become an Admiral. Kuzan holds the Hie Hie no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that gives him the power to generate and control ice with remarkable finesse, which he demonstrated in his confrontation with Monkey D. Garp.
