One Piece: The Special Power Of Every Straw Hat, Ranked

The Straw Hat Pirates, the main characters in One Piece, are a remarkably strong crew who quickly gained recognition when they first set sail from the East Blue. They’ve consistently surprised the world with their feats, and now rank among the most powerful pirate groups, with their captain recently being acknowledged as one of the four most powerful pirates – a Yonko.

The Straw Hat Pirates are a powerful group with several high-ranking members. They’ve become so strong that even the most skilled fighters in the One Piece world have trouble defeating them. This is thanks to the diverse abilities each pirate has developed over time, giving them a unique advantage when facing difficult challenges.

10. Usopp: Specialized Sniping With Boin Biology

Gained By Usopp In: Timeskip

I’ve been watching Usopp in battle, and he’s got a lot of cool abilities. One of the most impressive is definitely his Black Kabuto slingshot – it’s been upgraded with plant life since the time on Boin Island, and he’s really mastered using it. He’s even added Pop Greens to his attacks, making him a surprisingly effective sniper. Honestly though, when you compare him to the rest of the Straw Hat crew, Usopp still feels like he has the most potential to grow and is currently the weakest link.

9. Nami: The Power Of Zeus

Gained By Nami In: Wano Country

Nami returned after the two-year timeskip significantly more skilled in navigating and predicting weather, which was crucial for facing the challenges of the New World. While she wasn’t a strong fighter, she’s now gained a major power increase with the help of Zeus.

I was so hyped when Nami finally got to keep Zeus after the Wano arc! It’s completely bonded with her Climatact now, which is incredible. Seriously, she can now unleash some seriously powerful lightning attacks – strong enough to knock out even the tougher opponents like the Tobiroppo! It’s a huge power-up for her.

8. Chopper: The Power Of Monster Point

Gained By Chopper In: Drum Island

Chopper’s most powerful form has always been Monster Point, even before the two-year timeskip. He actually first unlocked this ability before he joined Luffy’s crew, and at that time, Kureha managed to control his wild transformation.

Even today, Chopper’s Monster Point remains his most powerful ability. The key difference is that he can now control it, and it lasts for a longer duration.

7. Brook: Chill Of Hell Manipulation

Gained By Brook In: Timeskip

Brook, the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates, is a skilled fighter who uses a special style of swordplay. He was already quite strong, but he became even more powerful during the two-year timeskip when members of the long-armed tribe honed his sword to perfection.

Brook gained the ability to infuse his sword with intense cold after mastering the Chill of the Underworld. This allows his attacks to freeze opponents on contact. He demonstrated this power by slicing through a massive giant and numerous Gifters simultaneously during the Wano Country Arc.

6. Franky: Radical Beam

Gained By Franky In: Timeskip

Franky possesses a variety of impressive abilities, but his Radical Beam is undoubtedly his most powerful. It’s essentially a laser beam, similar to Kizaru’s, which he built into his body after researching the technology of Dr. Vegapunk.

Franky’s Radical Beam is incredibly powerful – it’s even defeated Sasaki, one of the strongest pirates in the Tobi Roppo. It’s consistently proven to be one of his most devastating attacks, recently shown to be capable of damaging even the incredibly durable Seraphim on Egghead Island.

5. Nico Robin: Demonio Fleur

Gained By Robin In: Wano Country

Most One Piece fans agree that Nico Robin’s most powerful ability is Demonio Fleur. She unlocked this power during the Wano Country arc, allowing her to create a shadowy, demonic version of herself using her Devil Fruit.

Robin’s Demonio Fleur form is powerful enough to easily defeat opponents like Black Maria with her Grand Jacuzzi Clutch. She hasn’t even shown the full extent of this ability yet, and it’s clear it’s her most devastating attack.

4. Jinbe: Fishman Karate Secret Arts

Gained By Jinbe: Before Meeting Luffy

I’ve noticed Jinbe’s fighting style hasn’t changed a lot. He’s still primarily using Fishman Karate, and it feels like he hasn’t gotten any significant power boosts lately.

Jinbe primarily relies on punches and kicks in combat. During the Wano arc, he defeated his toughest opponent, Who’s Who, using a powerful Fishman Karate technique called Onigawara Seiken. While it’s currently his most potent move, it’s still fundamentally based on Fishman Karate, like all his other attacks.

3. Sanji: Ifrit Jambe

Gained By Sanji In: Wano Country

Sanji possesses a variety of impressive abilities, but his most powerful is undoubtedly Ifrit Jambe. He unlocked this power during the Wano Country Arc. Thanks to changes in his body—including a tough exoskeleton and enhanced Armament Haki—he can generate extremely hot flames with his legs. With Ifrit Jambe, he defeated Queen with just one blow.

2. Roronoa Zoro: King Of Hell Three Sword Style

Gained By Zoro In: Wano Country

Roronoa Zoro’s most powerful technique is definitely King of Hell. He’s able to use it thanks to the sword Enma, which has the special ability to pull out the user’s Haki.

Zoro unlocked both powerful Armament and Conqueror’s Haki thanks to this sword. This allowed him to develop a new fighting style known as King of Hell Three Sword Style.

1. Monkey D. Luffy: Gear 5

Gained By Luffy In: Wano Country

Gear 5 is undoubtedly Luffy’s most powerful form in One Piece. He unlocked this incredible ability by awakening the Nika fruit’s power during his battle with Kaido in Wano. Gear 5 drastically increases Luffy’s rubbery qualities and physical strength, allowing him to fight with unmatched freedom and undergo a distinctive transformation. What truly sets it apart is Luffy’s ability to essentially do anything he can imagine. When combined with his already impressive Haki, Gear 5 makes him an exceptionally formidable fighter, solidifying his place as one of the Yonko.
