In One Piece, the consensus is that Yonko (Emperors) are generally stronger than Admirals, especially in one-on-one fights, due to superior Haki (particularly Advanced Conqueror's Haki) and narrative portrayal as world-shaking figures, though Admirals are incredibly powerful and capable of challenging them, often requiring multiple Admirals or significant support to defeat a Yonko. While strong individuals like Akainu can contend, Yonko possess overwhelming power and crew strength, making them a tier above.
Undoubtedly, the Admirals are weaker compared to the Yonko. While the Admirals are strong, they definitely cannot beat the Yonko, other than Buggy. This has been clear in the story for a long time now, but some refuse to see it.
It takes 3 admirals to defeat a yonko.
Akainu is slightly stronger than a 1st yonko commander level. For example, Luffy would eat him alive...
Kaido is in fact stronger than any admiral. Some fans are just idiots. An old and sicked whitebeard almost killed the current strongest admiral and it is stated that no one could 1v1 kaido. Some would also say akainu would kill garp.
The Admirals for sure the admirals are very strong and no one except the Yonko can defeat him but there are some people who think that some Yonko firs commanders like Benn can defeat an admiral but that is wrong they are in the same level of power but the admirals are stronger 4.
Whitebeard was the strongest Yonko and was acknowledged as such, but by Marineford his illness had already weakened him to the point where any of his fellow Yonko most likely could defeat him mid to high diff in a serious battle. He was weaker for sure, but he was still top tier.
Luffy's Gear 5th isn't enough to beat the Gorosei and Imu.
Upon his defeat at Luffy's hand, Kaidou recalled his belief that Joy Boy would be the one to defeat him, implying that in his final moments, he recognized that Luffy was the same Joy Boy he had waited for after all.
Chill, Koby is strong, but not Yonko level. He's done one feat of strength comparable to Garp but nothing really other than that that says he's on the level on Yonko.
Easily Ace would be at least Admiral level and possibly Yonko level, depending on his Haki and Devil Fruit. His firepower combined with advanced Conqueror's Haki would make him one of the strongest characters of the worst gen.
Because of his powerful devil fruit plus mantra, not because he's actually yonko level. In Skypiea, he looked like a god since nobody had haki, but in the Blue Sea he'd get defeated without armament haki. His potential is crazy. If he ever comes back with haki,he can reach the yonko level.
I think Yonko are on average like 15% stronger than Admirals. That means they won't do well against 2 v. 1, but also some yonko might be weaker than some admirals and some admirals might be much weaker. Basically Kaido, Big Mom, and Buggy are weaker than Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.
Kaido set the bar... As a personal belief, Kaido is the mightiest enemy Luffy will ever face. Sure there are many stronger than him, but no one will be as a threat to Luffy as he was at the time of Wano.
Of course he is the weakest, LOL! He just stopped Kaido from joining the war on Marineford, then shortly after, went to Marineford and stopped said war. Yes, yes, he's the weakest indeed.
However, his true dream, revealed in Episode 1088, is something much bigger, which he wants to accomplish after becoming Pirate King. Fans speculate his ultimate dream could involve, throwing a worldwide feast where everyone—pirates, marines, civilians, minks, and more—comes together.
Highest: Jimbe. Ever since this character has brought into OP world there was no 1 moment when he didn't respected luffy. Lowest: Usopp.
A theory suggests that the Roger Pirates knew about Imu, and the only way to defeat him was via Joy Boy. They might know that the only way to defeat Imu is by using the powers of the Nika Devil Fruit. When Roger said at Laughtale: “I wish I could have lived in your era.
Blackbeard is the final fight, he's luffys opposite. Blackbeard has the darkness fruit and Luffy is the sun god .
After reciting his vows, Absalom attempted to seal the marriage by kissing Nami. However, Absalom repeatedly missed Nami's head and, upon angrily demanding to know what was going on, was shocked to learn that Oars had steered the ship into a strange current by moving the rudder.
1- Garp in Marineford He was emotionally burdened when he reflected on Luffy and Ace's childhood so he took more pain from Luffy's punch when otherwise Luffy's punch wouldn't even tickle him.
Edward Weevil, known as 'Whitebeard Jr.', asserts he is the biological son of the late Emperor Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate. His mother, Miss Buckin, who claims to be Newgate's former lover, supports this. Despite widespread skepticism, Weevil and Buckin aim to avenge Whitebeard and secure his treasure.
Luffy will surpass Roger, that's 100% true, but he won't become the strongest in the verse. So many people think Blackbeard is Luffy's final opponent, but that's not true. The final war is already shown in the manga, and it's about the whole world going against the World Government.
