One Piece: Strongest Crews The Rocks Pirates Can Defeat

Key Takeaways

Rocks Pirates were the most powerful pirate crew, even Roger had to join forces to defeat them.
Big Mom Pirates are strong, but not strong enough to take on the legendary Rocks Pirates.
Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates, and others were strong, but no match for the immense power of the Rocks Pirates.

As a seasoned One Piece enthusiast, I’ve been sailing these seas for quite some time now, and I’ve seen my fair share of powerful pirate crews. However, none compare to the legendary Rocks Pirates, captained by the fearsome rogue, Rocks D. Xebec.

In the epic saga of One Piece, a renowned pirate crew called the Rocks Pirates were once at the height of their power during the Wano Country arc. Though this crew is now defunct, it was active approximately four decades ago. During that time, they ruled the seas with an iron fist, so much so that even the legendary captain, Roger, needed to team up with Garp to subdue their leader. Numerous other pirates and marines also had to join forces to contain them.

In the fictional universe of One Piece, though the Rocks Pirates were completely annihilated on God Valley, their power is still the stuff of legends. Remarkably, if they had remained active, it’s believed they could have vanquished most formidable pirate crews that have emerged throughout the years.

6 Big Mom Pirates

Led By Yonko Big Mom

One Piece: Strongest Crews The Rocks Pirates Can Defeat

Status: Active

In the aftermath of the timeskip in One Piece, the Big Mom Pirates have been quite a formidable force for fans to witness, with Yonko Big Mom leading the charge and boasting an impressive bounty of 4.388 billion berries. Accompanying her are her three strong Sweet Commanders – Katakuri, Smoothie, and Cracker. Big Mom’s crew also includes several powerful officers, although none were able to challenge the might of the Rocks Pirates at their peak.

In a head-to-head battle, the Rock Pirates would have utterly overpowered the Big Mom Pirates, with the exception of Big Mom herself who might have been their only match.

5 Straw Hat Pirates

Led By Yonko Luffy

Status: Active

The Straw Hat Pirates hold an official Yonko crew status following the Wano Country Arc’s conclusion. It goes without saying that they are formidable, but when matched against the Rocks Pirates, they offer little challenge. Although Luffy is a powerful individual within the Straw Hat group, most of its members could be defeated by the upper echelons of the Rocks Pirate crew.

Luffy is undoubtedly capable of a formidable battle, but apart from him, characters such as Zoro and Sanji aren’t likely to cause much trouble for powerful pirates from the Rocks crew. In essence, they might not stand up against them and could potentially be overpowered.

4 Beast Pirates

Led by Former Yonko Kaido

Status: Inactive

In the vast expanse of the New World, the Beast Pirates have earned a reputation as a tough and formidable pirate crew. Originally led by a former Rocks Pirates member, now known as Kaido, this crew saw significant growth after his departure from Rocks. Kaido’s power increased substantially following his exit, making him an immensely powerful figure. Over time, he climbed the ranks to become a Yonko and established his stronghold in the nation of Wano.

Over time, Kaido significantly amplified his power, making his Beast Pirates equally formidable. Despite their might, the Beast Pirates were defeated by the Strawhat Pirates in Wano. It’s highly likely that Rocks and his crew will bring about the downfall of this pirate group as well.

3 Red Hair Pirates

Led By Yonko Shanks

Status: Active

1. The Red-Haired Pirates are among the most formidable groups in the One Piece universe, with a large number of their members being skilled Haki users. Despite their strength, even their leader Shanks could potentially challenge Rocks, but many other members exhibit hidden power or lack the necessary force to face off against giants like Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shiki, and numerous other legendary figures that they have encountered.

It’s evident that the Red Hair Pirates wouldn’t have much luck going up against such a famed pirate group.

2 Whitebeard Pirates

Led By Former Yonko Whitebeard

Status: Inactive

During the era of the Great Pirate War, the Whitebeard Pirates stood unrivaled in strength among all sea-faring crews, boasting some of the most treacherous marauders the world had ever known.

While Whitebeard undeniably fortified the crew’s power, it was his leadership that truly shone. Marco, too, demonstrated immense strength, but when placed beside the young Whitebeard who sailed with the Rocks Pirates, alongside characters like Big Mom and Shiki, he seemed less formidable. At their zenith, the Whitebeard Pirates were indeed mighty, but the Rocks Pirates surpassed them in power.

1 Roger Pirates

Led By Gol D. Roger

Status: Disbanded

Indeed, the Roger Pirates are known as one of the most powerful crews in One Piece to date. Yet, there is another pirate crew that outmatches them – the Rocks Pirates. Despite the Roger Pirates’ impressive strength, they couldn’t hold a candle to the Rocks Pirates when it comes to comparison. This fact was underscored by Oda during Kuma’s flashback, where Roger hinted at having been defeated by Rocks at some point in their lives.

The encounter between the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates ended in a confrontation that led to Roger’s downfall. This animosity persisted until the God Valley Incident, where Roger engaged with Rocks once more. Despite having another opportunity to face this enormously powerful pirate, Roger was unable to secure victory on his own. It took assistance from the Marines, particularly Garp, to ultimately defeat this powerful pirate, leading to the demise of the Rocks Pirates on that island. Interestingly, heavyweights like Big Mom, Kaido, and others remained unscathed during this battle, probably disappearing following the news of Rocks’ defeat. The Rocks Pirates, as a whole, were significantly more formidable in terms of strength compared to other pirate crews at that time.
