Dracule Mihawk holds the title of the strongest swordsman in One Piece, which implies that he is superior to anyone who primarily uses a blade to fight. His skill with a sword is unmatched, and so far, no one has managed to beat him in combat.

These One Piece characters will be strongest ones standing after Elbaf.
However, Mihawk's title doesn't mean that he is the strongest person in One Piece, especially when there are so many characters who don't use weapons to fight at all. With that in mind, here are all the One Piece characters who can beat Mihawk in a fight.
This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
Monkey D. Garp
Affiliation: World Government, Marines
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: No
Monkey D. Garp came to be known as the Hero of the Marines after the God Valley Incident, where he came across some of the greatest pirates of all time. What's frightening is that Garp wasn't even in his prime. The Vice Admiral hit his peak after the incident and went on to become the most revered Marine of all time.
Garp fights using his physical strength and Haki. He combines the two to give rise to a devastating combat style that can destroy mountains with ease. In his heyday, Garp went toe-to-toe with Gol D. Roger, so beating someone like Mihawk shouldn't be a problem for him. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would be a heavily one-sided fight in favor of the Marine.
Shanks
Affiliation: Red Hair Pirates
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: No
Shanks is the chief of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Yonko. From a young age, Shanks' talent impressed those around him. They were shocked to see a kid using complicated moves that required a high level of Haki. With time, Shanks' control has only improved, and it has reached the point where he is the best Haki user in One Piece.

Shanks' Conqueror's Haki not only increases his destructive power, but it also enables him to stop opponents from using Future Sight. Such an insane ability can effectively alter the course of a fight. Shanks and Mihawk used to be rivals, but the former has long since surpassed him.
Sakazuki
Affiliation: World Government, Marines
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: Magu Magu no Mi
Sakazuki is the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, which means he has full authority over the organization and its affairs. Sakazuki wasn't handed the promotion on a plate. In fact, he had to fight Kuzan for several days. After winning the battle, Sakazuki took control of the Marines.
When it comes to strength, Sakazuki is presently the strongest fighter within the organization. He possesses the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to control magma at will. It also has incredible destructive power, with which he can easily take down the strongest criminals with ease. Moreover, Sakazuki can use two types of Haki. With all these abilities at his disposal, there's no doubt that Sakazuki can pummel someone like Mihawk effortlessly.
Blackbeard
Affiliation: Blackbeard Pirates
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: Yami Yami no Mi, Gura Gura no Mi
Blackbeard is one of the most dangerous pirates in One Piece. He rose to fame in such a short period of time that it left everyone shocked. Blackbeard is driven by his desire to claim the world, and he knows that won't be possible without enough power.

Luffy will overtake these One Piece characters for good in Elbaf.
Blackbeard possesses two Devil Fruits, both of which are extremely overpowered. The first is the Yami Yami no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to nullify the power of other Devil Fruits. Additionally, it grants Blackbeard the ability to control darkness. The second Devil Fruit in Blackbeard's locker is the Gura Gura no Mi. It enables him to create tremors at will. The two abilities put Blackbeard in a league of his own and above the likes of Mihawk.
Monkey D. Dragon
Affiliation: Revolutionary Army
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: Unknown
Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, which makes him the most wanted criminal in the world. He founded the organization along with Ivankov and Kuma to change the world for the better. He wanted to bring down tyrannical regimes and make people's lives easier. So far, Dragon and the Revolutionary Army have freed many kingdoms, with Lulusia being the most recent.
Dragon hasn't revealed his power yet, but there's no doubt he's one of the strongest fighters in One Piece. After all, his officers are able to hold their own against Admirals. Naturally, Dragon should be a cut above them. As the story progresses, fans will get to see Dragon's true power.
Gorosei
Affiliation: World Government
- Haki: Yes
- Devil Fruit: Yes
The Gorosei, also known as the Five Elders, are among the most powerful members of the World Government. Each of them has been assigned specific roles, which they must carry out without fail. The Five Elders serve directly under Imu, and they are fiercely loyal to them.
For ages, fans didn't know the true strength of the Five Elders, but that changed in the Egghead arc. The Five Elders coordinated to put an end to Vegapunk's life and destroy the Straw Hats. Each member of the group is armed with a ridiculously strong Devil Fruit, immortality, regeneration, and Haki. All these things make them nearly impossible to beat in combat. While Mihawk may be an excellent combatant, there is no way that he can beat one of the Five Elders.
