15 Strongest Yonko Commanders in One Piece (Ranked)
15 Strongest Yonko Commanders in One Piece (Ranked)
The Four Emperors of the Sea in One Piece are a category of their own, which is why we've already discussed them several times here on Proximité Japon. But the Yonko also had their own crews with many powerful characters, the commanders being the strongest among them. In this article, we'll review the crews of the Four Emperors and rank the 15 strongest commanders among the crew members of the Yonko crews in One Piece.
15. View
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
As the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Fifth Division, Vista holds authority over his lower-ranking subordinates. Within the Vista gang itself, he was responsible for firsthand testing of the strength of new members. He is a veteran with extensive experience, as he was shown as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates during the Gol D. Roger era.
Vista is a great swordsman, renowned as one of the most powerful dual-sword users in the world. His strength is such that he can somewhat hold his own against Dracule Mihawk. During Marineford, he demonstrated great physical strength, as well as fairly high reflexes and speed.
He was able to easily repel an attack by Vice Admiral Lonz. Another demonstration of his strength is that during the Battle of Marineford, despite fighting individual members of the Sea Warlord and an admiral, as well as numerous Marine officers, he suffered no significant injuries.
14. Charlotte Cracker
Crew: Big Mom Pirates
Charlotte Cracker, nicknamed "Thousand-Armed Cracker," is the Minister of Biscuits governing Biscuit Island in Totto Land and one of the gentle commanders of the Big Mom Pirates. He is the 10th son and 15th child of the Charlotte family, as well as the triplet brother of Custard and Angel, and the eldest of the three.
Cracker is a slim, muscular man. His purple hair is styled into a very high, long bun, with two more on the sides with flames at each end, and a few hairs forming a strand across his forehead. His eyes are long and thin, and he has a scar over his right eye.
He is often seen with a wide smile. He wears a mauve-pink cape with white polka dots resting only on his left shoulder, a belt made of what appear to be pieces of biscuit, and brown pants and boots.
13. Charlotte Smoothie
Crew: Big Mom Pirates
Charlotte Smoothie is Big Mom's fourteenth daughter, the Minister of Juices, and one of the three Sweet Generals. A bounty of 932 million berries hangs over her head. She is a very tall woman with wavy white hair and very long legs. She is lazy and carefree, acting indifferent and agreeing to help her companions if it doesn't require too much effort. However, if the situation calls for it, she can demonstrate remarkable strategic acumen. She participates in the tea party and later in the pursuit of Sunny.
She ate the Paramisha Squeeze Squeeze Fruit which turned her into a "Dehydrated Woman": she is able to dehydrate people and inanimate objects by squeezing them as if they were her clothes and throwing her sword at them and she can use their liquids in various ways.
12. Jacques
Crew: Pirate Beasts
He is one of Kaidou's three most trusted men, one of the Four Emperors; as such, and within the Beast Pirates, his authority exceeds that of the Gifters, Pleasures, or any other rank. His epithet is named after the dilapidated state of the islands he passes through. His exorbitant bounty indicates that the World Government considers him extremely dangerous and a threat to its operations.
11. Silence
Crew: Blackbeard Pirates
As Impel Down's chief jailer, Shiryu had authority over all of Impel Down's guards and jailers. However, due to his repeated abuses of power, he was stripped of this position and thus this privilege. Shiryu has as much strength and power as Magellan, as Ivankov recounts. However, since Magellan's diarrhea is a disadvantage and Shiryu lacks the power of the Devil Fruit, he can be considered much more dangerous than Magellan.
10. Lucky Redhead
Crew: Red-haired Pirates
Not much is known about Roux's abilities, but as a member of a Sea Emperor's crew, he is said to be very powerful. Despite his rotund frame, he managed to sneak up on a mountain bandit unnoticed. Lucky Roux typically fights with powerful lunges, resembling a bowling ball when he attacks.
9. Queen
Crew: Pirate Beasts
As one of the Beast Pirates' "disasters," Queen holds great authority in the crew, second only to Kaidou. Holding the rank of "headliner," Queen is one of the most powerful members of the crew, symbolizing his threat to the World Government with his bounty of 1,320,000,000 Berries. He oversees the Beast Pirates' assassins, as Kyoshiro recommended contacting him when they attacked his comrades. Queen also possesses strong willpower, as he was able to remain conscious after Luffy used Haoshoku Haki.
Queen consumed the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus, a prehistoric Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows her to transform into a brachiosaurus. When fully transformed, Queen becomes much larger, surpassing even Big Mom's height of over eight meters. She can use the brachiosaur's signature long neck in combat, primarily to hit distant targets. Additionally, her body weight is greatly increased, and she can use this to her advantage, as very few opponents can withstand the pressure her enormous transformed body is thrown at them.
8. Jozu
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
As the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Third Division, Jozu holds authority over his lower-ranking subordinates. He was one of the few men to withstand the powerful haki unleashed by Emperor Shanks. He is an experienced veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates, dating back to the days of Gol D. Roger. He is one of the most powerful members of the Whitebeard Pirates, as evidenced by his position as commander of the Third Division. During the Marineford War, Jozu was powerful enough to fight on equal terms against the Sea Warriors and Marine Admirals.
7. Jesus Burgess
Crew: Blackbeard Pirates
Burgess is one of the most powerful members of the Blackbeard Pirates. He was able to effortlessly throw an entire house at Ace from a distance and easily defeated every pirate he encountered in Mock Town. He also won Block A of the Corrida Colosseum Battle Royal in seconds without even receiving a scratch.
He has also demonstrated great physical durability, as seen when he received a direct hit from previous user Edward Newgate's Gura Gura no Mi, as well as withstanding the shockwave from the Sengoku-era Fleet Admiral in his Buddha form without taking much damage.
Despite his large frame, Burgess is very fast, as he was able to reach Luffy's location in a very short time. Based on his attempt to assassinate Luffy for the Gomu Gomu no Mi and his conversation with Sabo, he is also capable of stealing other people's Devil Fruit abilities. The procedure for this is still unknown.
6. King
Crew: Pirate Beasts
King was able to withstand several heavy blows from Marco as he emerged without much apparent damage. He also proved his fighting skills by displaying great agility and speed against Zoro, whose attacks he actually largely overwhelmed, almost permanently knocking him out of the fight, and he demonstrates this with his ability to travel great distances in an instant. True to his epithet "King the Fire," King is capable of creating flames.
As one of the last representatives of the Lunar People, King possesses the ability to create fire with his body. He uses this skill to increase his melee attack power, for example by delivering a flaming punch or by firing projectiles, as he did in his Pteranodon form, and can even create powerful and wide fire attacks, taking the form of dragons.
5. Portgas D. Ace
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
Ace left his home village at the age of 17, following a decision he made with Sabo. His younger adopted brother, Luffy, was never able to defeat him, despite the latter already possessing the power of his Devil Fruit. Ace and Luffy did most of their training on their own, but were partly trained by Vice Admiral Garp, their grandfather, and partly by Captain Naguri in the anime version of the manga.
They were also both raised in Fuchsia City in East Blue by Dadan, a "friend" of the Vice Admiral. Another fact that reveals Ace's strength is his ability to withstand Marshall D. Teach's blows despite losing his Devil Fruit effect, and his ability to react immediately accordingly, as shown in Van Augur's notes.
Ace also carries a knife with him. Ace has excellent endurance. In fact, when he was only a rookie, he managed to fight Jinbe for 5 days and 5 nights straight. Their duel ended in a draw. He was therefore already at Jinbe's level and that of a Shichibukai even before joining Whitebeard's crew. Shortly before this confrontation, he was invited to Shichibukai status because a position was vacant.
4. Kozuki Oden
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
As daimyo of Kuri, Oden held great power and influence over the region before his death. As a former division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and a former member of the Roger Pirates, Oden was considered an extremely powerful pirate, highly respected and well-liked by both crews.
His influence even extends to members of the Zou Mink Tribe, with leaders Inuarashi and Nekomamushi as members of the Nine Red Scabbards. Furthermore, the rest of the Mink Tribe has shown enough respect and loyalty to the Kozuki family that they are all willing to die rather than allow any of Oden's retainers to be captured even long after Oden's death.
3. Charlotte Katakuri
Crew: Big Mom Pirates
Charlotte Katakuri is Big Mom's second child, as well as the Minister of Flour and one of the three Candy Generals; a bounty of 1,057,000,000 berries hangs over her head. According to Brûlée, not only has he never been defeated, but he has never even been overthrown.
He has a very wide mouth full of fangs that he always hides with a scarf and that he only uncovers when he has to eat: at those moments he isolates himself completely, killing anyone who sees him, even if it is only by mistake.
Cold and solitary, in public he displays a very calm and refined attitude while in private he reveals himself to be greedy without any restraint as much as Big Mom; despite this, he has a great sense of loyalty and honor towards the opponents he deems worthy of merit.
2. Ben Beckman
Crew: Red-haired Pirates
As the first officer of the Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman has authority over the rest of the crew, with the exception of Shanks. As revealed by the author, Beckman has the highest IQ in the East Blue. As the highest-ranking officer on the crew of one of the Four Emperors, Beckman is arguably one of the most skilled fighters in the entire series.
During the Battle of Marineford, Admiral Kizaru chose not to fight him after being targeted by his rifle. Twelve years ago, Beckman was able to single-handedly defeat all of the bandit Higuma's subordinates. Afterward, he recommended that she bring a war fleet if she wanted to fight him and his crew. Beckman possesses great vision and reflexes, to the point that he was able to easily meet Borsalino at the Battle of Marineford.
1. Marc
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
As the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, Marco held authority over his lower-ranking subordinates. He was one of the few men not affected by the Haki released by Pirate Emperor Shanks. He is known to be one of the longest-serving members of the crew, having been involved since the days of Gol D. Roger, spending at least 28 years at Whitebeard's side.
He was probably the strongest member of his crew (with the exception of Whitebeard himself), as indicated by his position as commander of the first division. Marco was able to try to fight with Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu (three admirals of the Navy). Another indication of Marco's strength is that he is considered by the Five Elders to be one of the few people capable of defeating Blackbeard.
That's it! We've reached the end of the list of the most powerful Yonko commanders in One Piece. Many thanks to the One Piece Wiki for providing some information!
