Admirals are one of the three greatest military powers of the World Government. They have powers that can easily rival anyone except for a few individuals in the One Piece world. On top of having insane strength, they are also masters of using Haki, and this also includes advanced forms. When faced against such a power, there is little to no hope of fighting, let alone surviving.
A glimpse of their power was seen during the Marineford war, where they showed that only a few can match them in battle. But there are some people who have fought against these monsters and beaten them in a fair fight. There aren’t many who have achieved this feat, but some have accomplished this daunting task.
Rocks D. Xebec
Captain of The Strongest Pirate Crew In The World
- Captain of Rocks Pirates
- Man Who Roger Hated the Most
- A Profound User Of Haki
Rocks has cemented himself as one of the strongest and most influential pirates of his time. He was a powerful individual who opposed the World Government and knew their greatest secret, which is the existence of Imu. During his early days, he accomplished a lot, like infiltrating Marijoa and capturing five kings during the World Summit, and clashing with the strongest member of the giant race, King Harald.
On top of such things, Xebec was able to defeat and kill a Marine Admiral in a duel. This made him even more infamous as well as notorious in the eyes of the world. Furthermore, it is a very rare thing to see a person who can achieve such a feat.
Akainu
Man Who Fought Against Whitebeard
- Possesses A Very Destructive Devil Fruit
- Acquired The Position Of Fleet Admiral
- Defeated A Fellow Admiral In A Duel
Akainu became the Fleet Admiral after the time skip Under his leadership, the Navy became even more powerful than before. He acquired this position by defeating a fellow Admiral named Aokiji, who is the same person who fought against Garp on his own. The fight between the two lasted for 10 days, and Akainu came out on top in this fight at the end.
It wasn’t surprising because Akainu showed a glimpse of his powers when the Paramount War started, where he was able to fight against Whitebeard and his Division Commanders on his own. That feat is enough for many to prove that not only is he as strong as they come but also a threat that every pirate should look out for.
Monkey D. Luffy
Biggest Threat To The World Government
- Newest Member of The Four Emperors of The Sea
- Defeated Kaido In A Fight
- Has All Advanced Forms Of Haki And Awakened Devil Fruit
After defeating Kaido, Luffy became one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. The hard work that he did in order to achieve this status is something that is commendable. Not only that, Luffy also defeated a Marine Admiral, who is none other than Kizaru, during the Egghead arc. The reason for their battle was Kizaru wanting to kill Vegapunk, but Luffy wanted to save him from this fate.
Their battle was a sight to behold, but Luffy came out on top this time. It shows how far Luffy has come when looking back at Marineford, where he wasn’t able to touch the Three Admirals. Now, Luffy’s newfound power even surprised Kizaru, who had to go toe-to-toe against him in order to survive.
Whitebeard
Held The Title of Strongest In The World
- Former Captain Of The Whitebeard
- Former Member Of The Rocks Pirates
- Rival Of Pirate King Gol D. Roger
During the war of Marineford, all eyes were on Whitebeard, who held the title of the strongest even at such an old age. He wasn’t in his prime, but the feats he demonstrated in that war made everyone believe that title really belonged to him. Whitebeard single-handedly took on the force of the Marines in his last stand and wanted to destroy the island itself. But this didn’t come to pass due to a series of unfortunate events. Instead, he pointed all his anger and rage towards one man, Akainu, whom he wanted to kill. Whitebeard almost succeeded in killing him, but instead, he wounded him to a point that he wasn’t able to continue fighting for some time.
