Families play an important role in One Piece. A person's lineage can drastically affect their future and, to a certain extent, their potential. Usually the strongest One Piece characters hail from influential families.
One Piece: 8 Mind-Blowing Revelations About Shanks
Shanks' past has been a source of speculation among One Piece fans for years, but these revelations were a shock even to the most devout theorists.
There are a lot of fathers and sons in One Piece, who, if they teamed up, could become unstoppable. While they don't always fight together, fans can't help but wonder what things would be like if they did. With that in mind, here are the strongest father-son duos in One Piece.
This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
Gol D. Roger And Portgas D. Ace
The Pirate King And His Son
- Roger and Ace never met each other
Gol D. Roger and Ace didn't get to spend any time together, as the former was executed by the World Government before his son was even born. Despite Roger's status, Ace resented his lineage and his father. Ace didn't even use Roger's name, which further proves how much he hated him. Nonetheless, there is no denying that Roger and Ace would have made a phenomenal duo.
In his prime, Roger was arguably the strongest character in One Piece, and he would have easily destroyed his opponents. However, Ace was nowhere near Roger's strength, which brings down their overall ranking. Ace was heavily reliant on his Devil Fruit and couldn't use Haki like the other top fighters.
Figarland Garling And Figarland Shamrock
Both Serve In The Holy Knights
- The two are likely to fight together at some point
The Figarland family is one of the most influential families in One Piece. They hail from Marijoa and two of their descendants hold very high positions within the World Government. Figarland Garling is the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights, which is arguably the strongest group in One Piece. He was later promoted to the position of Godhead of Science and Defense by Imu after Saturn's death.
One Piece: 6 Characters From Rocks Era That Can Defeat Luffy
Luffy is strong, but he has yet to surpass these Rocks era legends in One Piece.
In the God Valley flashback, Garling didn't do much, as he was beaten by Davy D. Xebec. But there is no denying that Garling is still a phenomenal fighter who can hold his own against the biggest names in the series. Garling's son Shamrock made his debut in the Elbaf arc, where he showed off his powers. Shamrock has a sword that has devoured a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, allowing it to transform into Cerberus. Both father and son serve in the Holy Knights, so there's a small chance that fans might get a chance to see them in action in the future.
Monkey D. Dragon And Monkey D. Luffy
Dragon And Luffy Have Liberated Countless Nations
- Both of them have a strong hatred of the World Government
Despite being father and son, Luffy and Dragon don't seem to have any sort of affection towards each other, which is understandable as the two have barely had any contact. While there may not be any chemistry between the two, it's hard to deny that Luffy and Dragon make an extremely overpowered duo.
Luffy has access to Gear 5th and can use all three types of Haki along with their advanced variants. He has beaten the likes of Kaido, Kizaru, Doflamingo, and many more in the short time that he's been a pirate. On the other hand, Dragon is the Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army, which implies that he's also a strong individual. However, until Oda reveals his strength, it would be unwise to rank the duo any higher.
Monkey D. Garp And Monkey D. Dragon
Two Of The Most Famous Names In The Series
- Both are incredible fighters
Monkey D. Garp and Dragon are two of the most famous One Piece characters, but for different reasons. Garp is known as the Hero of the Marines and the upholder of justice. Meanwhile, Dragon is known as the Worst Criminal in the World.
In his heyday, Garp was one of the few characters who could match Gol D. Roger in strength. His Haki is far superior to any other Marine in history.
One Piece: Strongest Characters Alive After Elbaf
These One Piece characters will be strongest ones standing after Elbaf.
Dragon's limited screen time makes it difficult to figure out his strength, but it's hard to deny that he isn't one of the few top-tiers in One Piece. If Dragon's strength has been revealed, it's safe to say that this father-son duo would be at the top.
Davy D. Xebec And Blackbeard
Both Terrorized The World Government
- They wanted to take over the world
Davy D. Xebec was the captain of the Rocks Pirates, who led the crew to new heights. Under his leadership, the Rocks Pirates became feared around the world. Since all the members of the crew were dangerous, they needed someone strong who would keep them in line, and that someone was Xebec.
Xebec didn't have a Devil Fruit, but that didn't cause him any problems because he has outrageously strong Haki. Xebec's son, Blackbeard, has yet to match his legacy, but it won't be long before he does. Like his father, Blackbeard is also a fearsome individual who has access to two Devil Fruits.
Harald And Loki
They Hail From The Royal Bloodline Of Elbaf
- Harald and Loki are blessed with insane physical abilities
Finishing at the top is the duo of King Harald and Loki. Harald's name was mentioned several times in the Elbaf arc, but it was only in the God Valley flashback that fans learned about him. He is considered the greatest ruler in Elbaf's history.
Aside from being an excellent monarch, Harald was also a phenomenal combatant who could fight Xebec on equal footing. In fact, Xebec never won a fair battle against him. Loki is not a shabby fighter either. He possesses a legendary weapon and can use it aptly. His skills attracted the attention of the Holy Knights, who tried to make him join the group.
