A buster call usually involves five Vice Admirals and several Marine warships. Given the strength of Vice Admirals, it is safe to say that only a few individuals can come out of a Buster Call without getting killed. With that in mind, here are all the One Piece characters capable of surviving a Buster Call.

7 Monkey D. Luffy

One Of The Strongest Pirates In The World

Monkey D. Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Yonko. He is a very talented fighter who can grow stronger in the middle of a battle. Luffy has access to all three types of Haki, along with their advanced variants. He can see the future and use his attacks to destroy a person or an object from within.

He also possesses the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to tap into the power of the ancient Sun God. So far, Luffy has defeated the likes of Crocodile, Lucci, Katakuri, and Kaido. Given the fact that he has taken down so many notable opponents, Luffy can easily survive a Buster Call.

6 Shanks

Currently The Most Powerful Yonko

Shanks is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the most respected characters in the world. He does not possess any kind of Devil Fruit, but his Haki is second to none. Shanks is one of the few people capable of using three types of Haki. With his Conqueror's Haki, Shanks can prevent other people from using Future Sight.

He also has excellent control over his Busoshoku Haki, and he has used it to stop attacks from Akainu and other noteworthy characters. Shanks has yet to be tested in battle, but it is very likely that he can survive a Buster Call without any problems.

5 Dracule Mihawk

The Best Swordsman In The World

Dracule Mihawk

Dracule Mihawk is one of the most feared pirates in the world. He was a member of the Shichibukai for many years before the system was abolished, and he lost his status. Eventually, he was invited by Crocodile to be a part of the Cross Guild.

Mihawk is known as the strongest swordsman in the world, and on many occasions, Oda has clarified that his skill with the sword surpasses that of Shanks. Mihawk has yet to be involved in a major fight that would give him the opportunity to show off his skills, but that will surely change in the Final Saga. There is a good possibility that Mihawk can survive a Buster Call without any major injuries.

4 Big Mom

Dangerous To Both Friends And Enemies

Big Mom was the only female who was part of the Yonko. She served as the main antagonist in two arcs, namely Whole Cake Island and Wano Country. Big Mom possessed a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allowed her to manipulate the souls of other people.

She could steal the soul of a person, which would kill them instantly. Big Mom could also use part of her own soul to bolster her physical strength. Considering the fact that it took two powerful Supernovas to beat her, it is obvious that a Buster Call can't do anything to Big Mom.

3 Blackbeard

Has Two Devil Fruits

Blackbeard became a Yonko after successfully beating the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates in the Payback War. He is the only character who possesses two Devil Fruits. The first one is the Yami Yami no Mi, which is a Logia-type Devil Fruit. It gives him power over the element of darkness, with which he can absorb anything. He can also use the Devil Fruit to nullify the power of others.

Blackbeard's second Devil Fruit is the Gura Gura no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives him the power to create tremors at will. A single attack enhanced by this Devil Fruit can potentially wipe out an entire island. Naturally, a character with such immense powers should have no problems dealing with a Buster Call.

2 Kaido

Formerly Known As The Strongest Creature In The World

During his younger days, Kaido served as an apprentice on the ship of Rocks D. Xebec. After the God Valley Incident, he started his own crew. He had an immense amount of physical strength with which he could obliterate his enemies. He also possessed a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, which allowed him to transform into a giant Azure dragon.

Kaido participated in so many battles that his Haki reached extraordinary levels. He was able to defeat Luffy multiple times in the Wano Country arc. It took the protagonist an immense amount of hard work to beat Kaido in a 1v1 fight. With his level of power, it's hardly surprising that he can withstand a Buster Call with ease.

1 Monkey D. Dragon

The Most Notorious Criminal In The World

Monkey D. Dragon

​​​​​​Monkey D. Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. He formed the organization after learning about the injustices around the world. Under Dragon's leadership, the Revolutionary Army has prospered a lot.

Dragon's powers are unknown, but he is presumed by fans to be among the strongest characters in One Piece. Dragon very likely possesses a Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate wind. As the story enters the Final Saga, Dragon will get more screen time, and he will show off his real power to the audience.
