The Final War of One Piece had been teased since the Dressrosa arc as the greatest conflict that the world would ever see, though the exact instance of its occurrence remains a mystery. Due to this, it's fair to assume that this battle will see the most powerful characters in the entire setting battling it out for supremacy.
However, fans constantly argue about who the strongest of them all truly is. So, in this article, let's go over all of the most powerful characters who have already been revealed that will surely play a major part in the Final War of One Piece and rank them not only based on their individual strength, but also their importance in this historic battle.
One Piece: The Final War Has Officially Begun
Chapter 1172 of One Piece has shown us the beginning of the Final War of the series. Who's going to come out on top?
Monkey D. Dragon Is The World Government's Greatest Enemy
Affiliation: Revolutionary Army
- The Leader of the Revolutionary Army
Throughout the entirety of One Piece, Dragon is perhaps the most anticipated character who is yet to make a proper combat debut. Narratively, most fans strongly believe that his strength will easily be some of the greatest in the entire setting, and his role as the leader of the Revolutionary Army strongly hints at this as well.
However, he is placed lower on the list simply because there is nothing to base this speculation off of yet. However, if the past is anything to go by, it definitely implies that Dragon is being saved by Oda on purpose until he makes a huge combat debut, which may be because of his incredible Haki and rumored God Devil Fruit.
Luffy Is Powerful, But He Still Has A Lot To Learn
Affiliation: Straw Hat Pirates
- Captain of the Straw Hats
Luffy is easily among the most talented and powerful characters in the entire story since he was able to learn and master the advanced applications of all types of Haki in a very short amount of time. On top of this, Luffy also has the legendary Nika Devil Fruit, which essentially allows him to do whatever he wants.
However, despite his amazing showings, the story has made it very clear that Luffy still has a long way to go in many regards. Although his Conqueror's Haki is at the peak, he still hasn't mastered everything since he couldn't harm Warcury in the Egghead arc, and his stamina issues in Gear 5 are still a major hindrance.
One Piece: Oda Has Already Decided The Strongest Character In One Piece History
Oda has already revealed the strongest character in One Piece history. Here's who it is.
Loki's Unnatural Strength And Devil Fruit Make Him A Powerhouse
Affiliation: Elbaf Royal Family
- The Rogue Prince
Ever since his very first appearance in the Elbaf arc, fans immediately knew that Loki was going to be incredibly powerful. However, in the Elbaf flashback, the true extent of his power tore through fans' expectations, as the Accursed Prince seemed to be born with the most advanced applications of Conqueror's Haki, which allowed him to kill his father.
This is one of the most amazing reveals, since this power was entirely intuitive to him and he didn't need to train his Conqueror's Haki to achieve it. On top of this, Loki is a descendant of the Ancient Giants, can wield the legendary hammer Ragnir, and also has another Nika fruit, which is a legendary power implied to be equal to Luffy's own fruit.

Shanks Is The Most Powerful Conqueror's Haki User Of The Modern Era
Affiliation: Red Hair Pirates
- Captain of the Red Hair Pirates
Shanks has long been rumored to be the most powerful pirate of the current day due to his unparalleled mastery of all kinds of Haki. Many years ago, Shanks was a member of the Holy Knights, so he even enjoyed imperviousness and immorality for some time before he eventually left.
Just like with Dragon, Shanks hasn't been seen a whole lot in the story, with his combat feats being even rarer. However, he played a vital role in keeping Domi Reversi'd Harald at bay, and has only grown in power since then, which definitely makes him one of the most powerful, and important, figures going into the Final War.
The Gorosei Are Imu's Top Generals
Affiliation: World Government
- The Leaders of the World Government
The Egghead arc showed the heroes exactly how much they still have to learn before they can take on the greatest threats of the world. The Gorosei are the leaders of the World Government to the public and, obviously, such a high office definitely warrants incredible power, which they have gotten through their pacts with Imu.
This is the deepest pact achieved through the upper echelons of the organization, which not only gives the Gorosei immortality, but also seemingly bestows them with powerful Yokai transformations. The Egghead arc showed how strong these characters are, since Luffy was unable to damage them even within his Gear 5 form.
One Piece: The Entire History Of The God Valley Incident, Explained
God Valley changed everything in One Piece, but so much happened that it can be tough to follow.
Imu Is The Most Powerful Character In The Entire Story So Far
Affiliation: World Government
- The greatest evil in the world
Imu is an ancient and powerful entity who controls the entire World Government and has been doing so since the Void Century. Fans always knew how strong they were going to be, and their appearance in the Elbaf arc confirmed all suspicions with the villain showcasing immense Haki and overpowered Devil Fruit abilities.
Imu's Devil Fruit powers may be the strongest in the setting since they allow them to make anyone into their thralls, bestow immense power, and seemingly also create powerful pacts that can make their subordinates immortal. Because of this, it's clear to see that Imu is currently the strongest character who will take part in the Final War.
