The One Piece world's strongest pirate is a title that was held by the late Whitebeard, who was once the rival of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King who conquered the Grand Line. There were many powerful individuals who roamed the seas during Whitebeard's time, and the list includes the likes of Roger, Shiki, Big Mom, and Rocks D. Xebec. But even among these pirates, this title was given to Whitebeard after Roger's death because of the strength and power he had at his disposal.
Not only was he constantly fighting against Roger, who defeated Rocks in a duel, but he also clashed with Oden, who was the same individual who eventually went on to overwhelm even Kaido. Even at his old age, no one was brave enough to take this title from him, as he was still a far greater threat than anyone. That said, Whitebeard is now dead, and a new strongest must arise in the world of One Piece.
One Piece: Rocks D. Xebec And Other Characters Who Have Defeated An Admiral
These are the powerful characters in One Piece who have defeated Marine Admirals.
Shanks
One Of The Four Emperors of The Seas
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Shanks is one of the Four Emperors of the Seas who had made a name for himself at a very young age. He possesses all three types of Haki and their advanced forms, which is something that only a few people have achieved. He is a phenomenal swordsman who has fought countless times against his rival Dracule Mihawk.
Their fights echoed throughout the Grand Line, and because of this, they earned respect for one another. He is such a feared man that even an Admiral of the navy stopped his attack when he witnessed Shanks' insane Haki, which really says a lot. On top of all this, he was able to destroy the entire crew of Kid Pirates on his own with only a single attack.
Monkey D. Luffy
Captain Of The Straw Hat Pirates
- Devil Fruit: Yes
- Haki: Yes
Luffy took the spot of the Emperor of the Sea by defeating Kaido, and it was a well-fought victory. He learned a lot during his time in Wano Country, as he got two power-ups that made him a powerful individual. Luffy is one of the few people that has awakened his Devil Fruit, which isn't perfect but still gives him an edge in battle. In this form, not even Kaido was having any trouble fighting against Luffy.

Dracule Mihawk
Rival Of Yonko Red Haired Shanks
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Dracule Mihawk is the world's strongest swordsman, who was first introduced back in East Blue, where he single-handedly cut an entire ship on his own, something that was unheard of at that point in the story. Mihawk hasn't demonstrated his true power in a battle, but there are some instances where he gave us a glimpse of his powers. During the War of Marineford, Mihawk effortlessly defeated most of the enemies that he fought against.

These bounties are the highest in Elbaf. More might be revealed on this One Piece island.
There was only one who was able to fight him, which was none other than Vista. Furthermore, Shanks fought against him numerous times, and Shanks respected Mihawk's strength. These are the only times when Mihawk truly fought, and this shows how truly powerful he is, as there are only a few who can match him in combat. If Mihawk were ambitious, he would certainly be able to get the title of the strongest pirate.
Blackbeard
Son Of One Of The Most Powerful Pirate That Ever Lived
- Devil Fruit: Yes
- Haki: Yes
Blackbeard rose to fame the fastest among the Worst Generation. This is because of his planning and years of experience. He possesses two Devil Fruits, both of which are the strongest of their class, and possesses insane physical strength that allowed him to match Ace and Marco in a fight. His Devil Fruits are the main source of his powers. One provides the ultimate offense, which is the Gura Gura no Mi, and the Yami Yami no Mi gives him absolute defense against all Devil Fruits. The only thing that is holding him back is his Haki, which he has to refine like other strong individuals. If he is able to do so, the title will only be a few steps away for him.
