Ranking the Most Powerful One Piece Characters from the Epic God Valley Battle!

by

40 years prior to Monkey D. Luffy embarking on his pirate adventure, a pivotal historical event known as the God Valley Incident unfolded. This battle of epic proportions disrupted the Celestrial Dragons’ Native Hunt Competition and featured rival pirate crews, Marines, and a force of God’s Knights. Many significant characters took part in this conflict at God Valley, with several being regarded as some of the strongest in the realm of One Piece.

In the aftermath of the God Valley Battle, some pirates assumed command over vast territories in the New World as Yonko, while one rose to become the Pirate King. A Marine had the potential to advance to Admiral or even Fleet Admiral whenever desired. Among the Celestial Dragons, a former God’s Knight now holds a high position. These iconic figures, many of whom wield Devil Fruit abilities and potent Haki, have also gained legendary status through the use of Haki alone.

The Talented Swordsman Can Make Objects Float

In the thrilling world of One Piece, I found myself captivated by none other than Shiki – a character who, unlike many film counterparts, is deeply rooted in the show’s official lore. This intriguing pirate stands out for more reasons than one: he was the first to ever break free from Impel Down and shared a fierce rivalry with the legendary Gol D. Roger. During the dramatic events unfolding at God Valley, Shiki sailed alongside the Rocks Pirates, and his chilling demeanor hints that he may have already claimed the power of the Float-Float Fruit long before we ever set sail with him!

Through the powers bestowed upon him by his Devil Fruit, Shiki boasts the ability to levitate and control inanimate objects telekinetically following a touch. His command over the Float-Float Fruit is so profound that he can effortlessly lift entire Marine Battleships and significant chunks of an island. Moreover, he can take flight with this fruit. As a seasoned swordsman, while it hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s reasonable to infer that Shiki has honed strong Armament Haki skills.

A Haki Master Who Can Take On a Member Of The God’s Knights

Scopper Gaban rose to prominence during the Golden Age of Piracy as a part of Roger’s Crew. He earned the title, “The Left Hand of the Pirate King,” and showed his formidable prowess during the Arc of Elbaph. Even in his late 70s, Gaban retains an impressive amount of power that compelled Luffy to employ Gear 5. Zoro felt it necessary to aid Luffy to defeat him.

Gaban possesses and effectively wields all three forms of Haki, including advanced Observation Haki that allows him to see into the future. He also empowers his axes with potent Conqueror’s Haki, causing them to emit bolts of black energy. Gaban held his own against Oden Kouzuki, a legendary swordsman, and was able to resist the supernatural healing abilities of the God’s Knights from past battles. Saint Shepherd Sommers is among the God’s Knights, but Gaban swiftly defeated him in mere seconds on Elbaph.

The Master Swordsman And Haki User Can Still Fight On Par With A Marine Admiral

Silvers Rayleigh served as Roger’s second-in-command and trusted advisor, playing a key role in guiding the Roger Pirates into battle on God Valley. He is significantly important because he was instrumental in teaching Luffy to master all three forms of Haki during the time-skip. At his peak, Rayleigh had the power to halt Marco the Phoenix’s Hybrid Form using just one finger coated with Haki.

Rayleigh’s might may have weakened somewhat due to aging, yet he remains an exceptionally formidable wielder of advanced Armament and Conqueror’s Haki. He is capable of engaging in combat equal to, or even causing injury to, a Marine Admiral like Kizaru. If he had been present on Fish-Man Island, a single burst of his Haki could potentially incapacitate all 100,000 members of the New Fish-Man Pirates. Even a Yonko like Blackbeard, with two Devil Fruits, felt apprehensive when they crossed paths on Amazon Lily.

Big Mom Could Manipulate Souls

Charlotte Linlin, famously known as Big Mom, is currently the sole female pirate who has earned the title of Yonko, thus making her one of the most powerful pirates in the world at present. During the God Valley Incident, she was a part of the Rocks Pirates, but her loyalty seemed to lie more with her personal ambitions than supporting Rocks’ cause. Her main objective appeared to be acquiring a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

As a devoted One Piece fan, I’m thrilled to share that I wield all three forms of Haki, including the advanced versions of Armament and Conqueror’s Haki. My Armament Haki is so robust it effortlessly deflects Luffy’s Kong Gun, a technique that previously breezed past the fortified barriers of Doflamingo and Katakuri. With a single punch augmented by my advanced Conquerer’s Haki, I can fell a top-tier Yonko subordinate! When engaged in battle with another Yonko-level combatant, my Haki’s might is such that it part the very heavens themselves. And thanks to my Soul-Soul Fruit, I possess the extraordinary ability to manipulate and control human souls. This power allows me to animate clouds and orchestrate natural catastrophes at will!

The Former Yonko Has A Near-Indestructible Body

For twenty years, Kadio ruled over Wano and was revered as one of the strongest beings on earth due to his incredibly resilient physique. At age fifteen, he embarked on an adventure with the Rocks Pirates, forging a deep connection with Big Mom that resembled sibling ties. At around twenty years old, he fought alongside the crew in God Valley. Although the Rocks Pirates were vanquished that day, Kadio managed to obtain the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, one of the rare and powerful Devil Fruits.

Kaido possesses the ability to utilize all three forms of Haki, including their advanced versions. In his enormous dragon form, he’s capable of unleashing devastating elemental attacks powerful enough to flatten entire mountains. Kaido’s Hybrid Form is resilient enough to overpower Luffy’s Gear 4 transformations. In confrontations with Luffy, Eustass Kid, Zoro, Killer, and Trafalgar Law, Kaido emerged unscathed with minimal injuries. Only a select few characters can inflict damage on Kaido, and it’s evident that Luffy wouldn’t have stood a chance against him without unlocking Gear 5.

Figarland Is Regarded As The Champion Of The Celestial Dragons

39 years prior to the timeline in “One Piece,” Saint Figarland Garling, who is Shanks’ biological father, took part in a Native Hunting Competition on God Valley. Later in the Egghead Arc, he succeeded Saint Jaygarcia Saturn as the new Warrior God of Science and Defense. During his time on God Valley, Garling was already a member of the God’s Knights and eventually became their supreme commander after a significant event. His actions that day led to him being known as the Champion among the Celestial Dragons.

Without a shadow of a doubt, I’d say Garling boasts an overwhelming amount of Conqueror’s Haki, placing him among the elite of the God’s Knights and Five Elders – immortal beings with rapid regeneration capabilities. It seems plausible that he might also wield the same mysterious power they do. The exact measure of his strength remains elusive, but considering his sons’ prodigious might, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to suggest that he could inflict harm upon a former Yonko like Kaido. Intriguing, isn’t it?

Whitebeard Had The Power To Destroy The World

At God Valley, Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard, served alongside the Rocks Pirates. Whether or not he had consumed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit during that time is uncertain, but it’s certain that he mastered all three forms of Haki, including Armament and Conqueror’s Haki at an advanced level. Despite being 72 years old and battling a severe illness, Whitebeard was regarded as the world’s strongest individual at that moment, even during the events at Marineford.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is considered the most potent Paramecia-type Devil Fruit due to Whitebeard’s ability to create massive seismic waves through any substance. It was rumored that he could utilize this power to devastate the entire world. Whitebeard was among a select few who could challenge Kaido, engage in equal combat with legendary swordsmasters and Haki users such as Roger and Oden. Even in his weakened condition, he was capable of overpowering future Fleet Admirals like Akainu and Yonkos like Blackbeard, treating them as novices.

The Legendary Marine Who Can Flatten Cities With A Punch

Monkey D. Garp earned the title “Marine Hero” due to his outstanding actions at God Valley. Interestingly, he showed no initial desire to visit God Valley until he discovered Gol D. Roger would be there. For many years, Garp served as a Vice Admiral, but he was presented with an Admiral position on numerous occasions. However, he declined each promotion as he had no wish to collaborate directly with the Celestial Dragons.

Garp possesses all three kinds of Haki, but his advanced Armament and Conqueror’s Haki are exceptionally strong. Even at 80 years old, Garp remains one of the most formidable figures in this world. His Galaxy Impact punch harnesses the power of advanced Conqueror’s Haki, and it is still destructive enough to level a significant portion of a city. With just one punch, Garp can send a massive Yonko Commander like Sanjuan Wolf flying. Kuzan, a much younger ex-Admiral with Logia powers based on ice, can still be overpowered by Garp in a one-on-one battle.

Roger Was Once The Strongest Man In The World

Long before Gol D. Roger reached Laugh Tale and claimed the title of Pirate King, he led his crew, the Roger Pirates, into battles at God Valley. Even without a Devil Fruit, his abilities were considered a significant threat by the World Government, as they placed the highest known bounty on him. Remarkably, he managed to engage in fierce conflicts with legendary figures such as Garp and Whitebeard, utilizing only Haki for combat.

There seems to be some debate about whether or not Roger had the ability to see into the future with his Observation Haki, but it’s reasonable to believe he did. His exceptional Armament and Conqueror’s Haki were powerful enough to slice through Kaido’s almost indestructible form, and he managed to engage in a three-day battle against Prime Whitebeard while also battling a life-threatening illness simultaneously. Since Scopper Gaban can counter the regeneration of the God’s Knights, it’s probable that Roger had the same power. This suggests that he was stronger than Gear 5 Luffy is at present.

One Piece’s Most Mysterious Pirate Kept Multiple Legends In Line

Captain Rocks D. Xebec led the Rocks Pirates, a crew considered more menacing by the World Government than even Roger and the Revolutionary Army. The World Government made considerable efforts to obliterate any trace of him from history. Ambitious as he was, Rocks aspired to rule the world itself. He didn’t shy away from exploring topics deemed taboo, like the Void Century. His recklessness, demonstrated by his readiness to eliminate Celestial Dragons, is consistent with Whitebeard’s assertion that Rocks acted imprudently.

Rocks’ team included three pirates who would later become Yonko, as well as other legendary sea robbers. Interestingly, none of them seemed to hold him in high regard on a personal level. However, they all admired his strength greatly, which is why they chose to work for him. Details about Rocks’ abilities are scarce, but it took the collective might of Roger and Garp to defeat him, suggesting he was an exceptional swordsman with an exceptionally potent form of Haki.
