The World Government is the most dominant organization in One Piece. It has ruled over the entire world for centuries. The organization is led by Imu, who is the supreme ruler. However, most people don't know about Imu's existence, as it is the best-guarded secret in the series.

These are the strongest characters to sail the seas of the One Piece world.
Imu displayed their power in the Elbaf arc, and it became clear why they stand at the top of the hierarchy. Despite being so strong, Imu is not unbeatable. In fact, there are several One Piece characters who have the required strength to hurt Imu with their attacks.
This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
Shanks
Boss Of The Red Hair Pirates
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Shanks is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Yonko. He started his pirating journey as an apprentice on the ship of Gol D. Roger. After Roger's death, Shanks formed the Red Hair Pirates and became one of the most powerful pirates in the world.
Shanks fights by combining Haki with his swordsmanship. His Haki is immensely powerful, as even a burst was able to send shivers down the spine of Ryokugyu, who was standing far away. Shanks has yet to go all out in a fight, but fans did catch a glimpse of his strength when he took down Eustass Kid with a single attack. Considering his strength, it's highly likely that Shanks can easily hurt Imu with his Haki attacks.
Monkey D. Luffy
The Main Hero Of One Piece
- Devil Fruit: Yes
- Haki: Yes
Despite being only a teenager, Luffy is already among the most infamous pirates in One Piece history. It feels like it was only yesterday that Luffy jumped out of the barrel. Currently, he is one of the Yonko, which puts him among the most feared pirates in the series.
One Piece: 6 Characters Luffy Will Surpass In Elbaf
Luffy will overtake these One Piece characters for good in Elbaf.
Luffy is a powerhouse who has beaten the odds many times. He has a strong will, so he never gives up. Luffy's willpower also boosts the potency of his Haki. Presently, Luffy has access to all types of Haki and their advanced versions. If those aren't enough, his Devil Fruit provides a massive boost to his physical abilities. Luffy can tap into the power of Nika, the Ancient Sun God, who was dubbed the Warrior of Liberation. The combination of his Haki and Devil Fruit has already enabled Luffy to beat Kaido, so hurting Imu shouldn't be a problem. There is a good chance that fans will get to see Imu vs. Luffy in the Elbaf arc, and it will show them how the hero compares to the tyrant.
Scopper Gaban
Roger's Left-Hand Man
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Scopper Gaban used to be a member of the Roger Pirates. In his heyday, Gaban was able to fight against tens of people without any problems. After the crew disbanded, Gaban stayed in Elbaf with his wife and son.
While Gaban has grown older with age, it is quite clear that his strength hasn't waned all that much. In fact, Gaban proved in the fight against Shepherd Sommers that he is not a pushover. The pirate was able to beat Sommers in mere moments. He was also able to bypass Sommers' immortality, which means that he can do the same against Imu.
Blackbeard
The Admiral Of The Blackbeard Pirates
- Devil Fruit: Yes
- Haki: Yes
Blackbeard is the son of the late Rocks D. Xebec. While he did not inherit all the qualities of his father, he certainly has the same level of ambition. Blackbeard possesses two of the most dangerous Devil Fruits in One Piece. His Yami Yami no Mi can nullify the powers of other Devil Fruits, leaving the opponent defenseless.

These One Piece have the strength needed to take down the powerful God's Knights.
Meanwhile, Blackbeard's Gura Gura no Mi can create tremors that can wipe out an island with ease. In addition to the two Devil Fruits, Blackbeard also has access to Haki. He has not used it much, but he seems to have great control over it. It's likely that fans will actually get to see Blackbeard fight Imu in the future arcs.
Silvers Rayleigh
The Right-Hand Man Of The Pirate King
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Silvers Rayleigh is also known as the Dark King. He used to be the right-hand man of Gol D. Roger and one of the most dangerous pirates from the old era. Rayleigh hung up his boots after Roger died, and since then, he has remained on Sabaody Archipelago with his wife, Shakuyaku.
Rayleigh and Gaban were equals, so if the latter could hurt the Holy Knights, the Dark King could do the same. By that logic, Rayleigh could hurt Imu as well. It's also worth mentioning that Rayleigh has a fearsome reputation, which was enough to scare away someone like Blackbeard.
Roronoa Zoro
One Of The Most Revered Swordsmen In One Piece
- Devil Fruit: No
- Haki: Yes
Roronoa Zoro is the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is a master of the three-sword style, and people around the world recognize him because of it. Zoro wields three powerful swords at his disposal and relies on them in all of his fights. In the Wano Country arc, Zoro used his Conqueror's Haki for the first time, and it allowed him to hurt Kaido and later beat King.
Since leaving Wano, Zoro's Haki control has improved drastically. In fact, he was able to beat Rob Lucci, the strongest CP0 agent, without any external help. Considering that only Gaban (a Conqueror's Haki user) has managed to bypass the immortality of the Holy Knights, there is a chance that Zoro can do the same.
