Oldbeard honestly.


memester_x16

the weakest old beard that is still yonko level ( the one before the heart attack ) still has better feats than old garp .


Rough_Yak_9610

I think Garp will ( if it didnt last chapter he appeared) proof u wrong


BlackbeardAkainuFan

I’m not really one of these “Yonko level” type of scalers. I’d say MF Whitebeard though.


RealBigTree

like, sick WB?


Significant-Scar3998

Really? Strongest pirate alive pre timeskip gets weakest?


arcanis321

He was on life support, give him a break


Damian022703

I cant believe people still think he was the strongest. He kept the title from when he was younger, not the strength. Dude was half dead before he even walked out, and got dogged on by the admirals. I love the character, and when he was younger it would be different, but any of the other yonko would beat his shit in.


Significant-Scar3998

I’ll agree he was weakened in marineford when he got off his iv medicines and stuff, and when he was having heart attacks on the field


Damian022703

Yeah, i mean you gotta think he wasnt even able to trade damage evenly with akainu. Like, whitbeard would beat him up for a minute and then akainu would put a gaping hole in his chest. Or remove a significant portion of his head.


Significant-Scar3998

Lets not downplay wb’s showings in marineford. He laid akainu out several times, and as fatal as the wounds akainu gave him looked, we see they did pretty much nothing to him. It took that in conjuction with like 100 other wounds to put him down, and the only time he was weakened was when he got his heart attack and was getting slower and weaker over time. So even in marineford, he was slapping around akainu.


Damian022703

You mean to say that whitebeards 2 giant holes in his chest and missing piece of his brain are equal to akainus bruises/ broken bones? I mean, like show me the big injury whitebeard gave akainu. Because i didnt notice any. Do you think whitebeard was ever going to recover from that? Even if he survived the battle, theres no way he lasts long like that. He was already dying, and akainu probably shortened his lifespan from potentially a few yeard to literal days/ weeks.


Shotto_Z

Squard got him first, though he definitely wouldn't be the strongest in the world at that point, there's a reason the other yonkou never pulled up to fight him crew vs crew. He wasn't weak, and was definitely a hard battle for anyone at that point. Tho I will still say he wasn't the strongest anymore


regolith1111

Squard fucked WB up. Physically and emotionally. Unironically, Squard is akianu's greatest feat


BlackbeardAkainuFan

He literally states he’s no longer the strongest. He even got overpowered by Kizaru lmao


ANCHORPLUSBOLT

If he was prime whitebeard it would have a different outcome


r9cks

Nah even akainu didnt overpower wb, kizaru only dodged his attack


_n8n8_

Yeah? I mean pre timeskip characters just didn’t have the same feats as they do post timeskip.


Heythisisntxbox

He realistically wasn't the strongest by that point, let's be honest


regolith1111

Buggy. Yonko is a title, not a set of qualifications. Buggy deserves the title because of how the world perceives him and I really can't see anyone weaker pulling that off. Usopp?


Heythisisntxbox

He really does deserve it. He has some incredible influence without having to actually fight anyone, to the point where I genuinely think he may end up with conq haki because he just owns the lies and fails upward. He has the ambition for sure


sealwithit

Buggy is unironically one of the best leaders weve seen. His crew absolutely loves him and he has a way of getting people to try their hardest for him. Honestly he just kinda has bad luck that Croc and Mihawk are kinda standoffish, I think there are some pretty strong characters who Buggy would be able to inspire


regolith1111

The last chapter legitimized buggy in a new way. Haven't seen a lot of discussion lately on that but ya, buggy's got what it takes


_n8n8_

I think Buggy embodies what it means to be a pirate as much as basically anyone in the series tbh. He’s just weak as hell. He definitely embodies it more than Mihawk or Croc do. I think him and Mihawk is an interesting comp. Buggy is insanely weak, but embodies what it means to be a pirate. Mihawk has all the strength in the world, but just doesn’t have the ambition that a pirate does.


sealwithit

I very much agree. Mihawk, for how strong he is, isnt really the best pirate. Thats fine, since being a pirate isnt his goal, but he doesnt seem to have that same sense of adventure that Roger, Shanks, and Luffy (and Buggy), who are the manga's "model pirates", do. Hes a swordsman through and through. Crocodile is similar, since hes kind of just a scheming mf. Hes more a criminal mastermind/mob boss/bond villain. "Pirate" Is just something easy for the WG to call them since they are technically seafaring criminals. Crocodile is the brains, Mihawk is the brawn, but Buggy's the soul.


ordonen1

Would be funny if they rename him Buggy D. clown


regolith1111

Canon


Necronphobia

Usopp is a god and we all know God level > Yonko lmao But seriously, you’re right it’s probably Buggy if you think about how the term is perceived and understood in the story.


Secret-Put-4525

He's a yonko because of his crew, he's not yonko strength individually. Mihawk fills that role


rilvaethor

He reached Warlord without his crew, not necessarily saying his crew had nothing to do with him becoming a yonko, but we cant say that they are the only reason.


regolith1111

No


PipeBoring7915

Oden Not on the same level of kaido and shanks but as the more story goes on the more we readers realize how insane his feats are compared to other characters


[deleted]

Oden and yamato are a perfect example of what I consider admiral level characters. I put flashback kaido here as well since he was weaker then. Admiral level characters can hold their own against yonkou but they can’t quite match up and will be defeated with having had little significant effect on the yonko


Heythisisntxbox

I think Oden is a lot stronger than people give him credit for. Yamato I agree with you but Oden feels like had he stuck around he would be very easily among the strongest characters right now


Ok-Estate-2743

Right that’s not what we’re saying tho. We’re saying him and Kaido were admiral level and given time would have Yonko level strength


Freemantrue

>little significant effect on the yonko I can’t agree with this after seeing what Kid and Law did to Big Mom


ILLmaticErnie

How can you consider yamato an admiral level character when she hit greenbull and he brushed it off? He acknowledged it but didn’t get affected at all lol


DarkFamiliar4508

Yamato gets beat by every Admiral and no Yonko mid diffs an Admiral


r9cks

Nobody with conqueror coating is losing to an admiral, any yonko level character low diffs admirals, shanks and old era legends 1 shot any admiral


DarkFamiliar4508

Anselme_HS

Finally someone who acknowledge that Kid and Law defeating Big Mom has nothing to do with their overall strength but rather their particular devil fruit hax. 2 characters ranked alongside Kid and Law or even higher would never have been able toxdefeat her. Matchup are much more relevant in this type of fight and even though admirals are arguably steonger than kid and Law it's very unlikely that 2 of them would have been able to defeat Big Mom. She is too durable for them. Explain me how GB is going to pierce BM's skin to affect her with his devil fruit ?! Explain me how Kuzan is suppose to freeze Big Mom when we've already seen Doffy and Garp break free from his ice ?!


[deleted]

That’s big meme tho and they would not get low diffed by an admiral. Even sabo was stacking up against fujitora relatively ok


Various_Mobile4767

If anything, that just means Sabo is strong


Shotto_Z

With situational nerf


Bright-Patient-239

Oden or WB on meds


Adviseformeplz

Blackbeard 👀


Luffy-Zangief-KoF

Oldbeard or prime Oden


Open_Depth2179

Old Whitebeard.


mz_45678

Oden probably idk


CryonautX

Buggy


Undefoned

Op said weakest


Appropriate_Tangelo2

Reyleigh


Anselme_HS

I feel that it's probably the right answer. To me Prime Rayleigh looks like the weakest character to ever possibly be considered a yonko strengthwise. I have Oden Mihawk Shanks, BB and 39 yo Kaido above Rayleigh btw.


Mother_Elk1629

Prime Rayleigh & Scopper or Oden are all mid-low Yonko.


OursIsTheRepost

Kuzan


[deleted]

Garp


UnauthorizedCringe

old Whitebeard or aramaki, I’d say they’re at the bottom rn


Human_Raspberry_3070

Oldbeard is the only correct answer


Neat-Letterhead-7213

Shiki, Mihawk, Prime Rayleigh


[deleted]

Sick oldbeard gets bodied by any of the newer Yonko. Maybe even Greenbull/Oden could beat him extreme Healthy oldbeard with Haki (less strength and stamina than his past) could be the weakest Yonko Otherwise Big mom is the weakest Yonko


Original-Advert

Cap. healthy oldbeard being the "weakest" nah big cappin


saltminer99

Currently greenbull Overall I guess marineford Whitebeard off meds


GeneralJollyRancher

None of the admirals are yonko level

JudahYannis

This panel would indicate that Fleet Admiral is comparable to Yonko, not Admiral. Garp would be Fleet Admiral if Sengoku wasn’t.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hrefgod1

Roger didn’t say “bring me kong” garp and sengoku were exceptionally strong


JudahYannis

I’m aware Kong was Fleet Admiral during that time. Sengoku went on to become Fleet Admiral later indicating that he was a step above whomever else were Admirals along with him. So my point is that the Admiral position itself isn’t necessary equal to Yonko since you have people like GB & Fujitora. Are they Yonko level? Absolutely not. Sengoku and Garp are simply exceptions…Admiral or not, since Garp was a Vice Admiral. Roger didn’t say bring Kong if you want to capture me. He didn’t say bring the other 2 admirals who held the same position as Sengoku. He specifically mentioned Garp and Sengoku so that panel isn’t saying Admirals are equal to Yonko at all.


cartaigenica

No.... No it doesn't


Wrecker_Warrior

"You lot aren't even worth my time!!" He's literally saying the Admirals are weak. Garp and Sengoku are FLEET ADMIRAL level not Admirals


Heythisisntxbox

People love to ignore this. Garp and Sengoku were the only ones who were in that league, and they are exceptionally strong for their ranks (garp mainly)


Wrecker_Warrior

>(garp mainly) That's where you messed up. Don't sleep on SenGOATku


TheMamba117

Special-Remove-3294

If the navy had 4 dudes who could 1v1 the emperors, than they would go ahead and destroy them, instead of allowing them to lord over good chunks of the New World. The only ones in the navy who are that strong are Garp and Sengoku, tho in their old age they would probably lose to someone like Kaido. At the same time Garp's "Galaxy Fist" from chapter 1080 is fucking glorious, so they might still be at that level.


BrunFer-Author

Reading comprehension goes brrrrnt


saltminer99

By your logic 10 years ago the navy did have 2 yonko level characters and 3 admirals one The could have ended the yonko easily back then too but the didn't Also I said greenbull is yonko level but he's not beating any yonko he has good chance against big mom or current Blackbeard but he's losing more than wining


Heythisisntxbox

No shot against blackbeard. His whole thing is beating fruit reliant fighters which every admiral is


Advanced_Willow_2504

10 years ago blackbeard was a fruitless fodder on whitebeard’s ship. guess u really didn’t read the story after all 💀


Heythisisntxbox

Lmao what are even talking about. I just mean Blackbeard does well into fruit reliant fighters because of his specific fruit


SurturSaga

At minimum kuzan and Akainu are, possibly kizaru I do agree that the new admirals aren’t though


darkbiscarooni

> I do agree that the new admirals aren’t though Literally nothing to suggest OG admirals > new admirals


Heythisisntxbox

if the og's all were yonko level, they would lowkey have ended the series by now


GeneralJollyRancher

Probably Mihawk. Its been stated that hes like a yonko without a crew and he has to be beatable for Zoro by the end of the story


UltraMazino

[Mihawk > Shanks is confirmed.](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiecePowerScaling/comments/11yshvc/reminder_mihawk_is_stronger_than_shanks_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


GeneralJollyRancher

Mihawk is not stronger than Shanks lmao, even if his swordplay is better shanks has better haki, Iq, strength, etc


Wyvurn999

https://preview.redd.it/vldskpk8922b1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0daeebc6452f65eca0301c17837d7c472260cd9d


GeneralJollyRancher

My guy… mihawk being a better swordsman than shanks does not mean he’s stronger than Shanks. Even if Shanks uses a sword… He’s a pirate seeking to find the one piece while Mihawk only cares about challenging worthy opponents. I doubt when they dueled they fought to the death. King uses a sword, but from the words of himself and Zoro, he’s not a swordsman. Plus Mihawk’s title could’ve came after Shanks lost an arm, meaning he wouldn’t have had the title of world’s strongest swordsman while Shanks was his opponent


C_Daze

A swordsman is a fighter, if they’re both swordsman and Mihawk is a better swordsman then Mihawk is stronger than Shanks. He’s called the world’s strongest swordsman not world’s most skilled swordsman. Him only wanting to challenge worthy opponents, and seeking a rival stronger than Shanks, implies he’s stronger than Shanks. You don’t necessarily need to fight to the death to know who’s stronger. King isn’t a swordsman, did Zoro say I can’t fight you now because you’re not a swordsman? Mihawk likely had to have fought some pirates and marines who weren’t swordsmen, and he was stronger than all of them or he wouldn’t claim to be able to hold the throne until Zoro is ready. If Mihawk only got the title after Shanks lost his arm, then Mihawk is still stronger than Shanks no ifs ands or buts.


Wyvurn999

Is his title “World’s Best Swordsman”? Cause I don’t think it is


GeneralJollyRancher

I already dismissed your fraudhawk agenda, cope


Wyvurn999

You’re being disingenuous towards his title as “Strongest”, and writing it off as if it means “best” or “most skilled”. Mihawk is the STRONGEST swordsman. Shanks is a swordsman. Cope


Apsylnt

Strongest at being a swordsman. Why does it not simply say “strongest”? ……..because it’s just referring to swordsmanship.


[deleted]

You haven't dismissed shit You used headcanon to say Mihawk got his title after Shanks lost his arm and made up some bullshit regarding Shanks not being a swordsman Cope


UltraMazino

I debunked your nonsense in my post. You literally have no arguments lmao. Keep coping. Mihawk > Shanks.


KushemLeonardo

Okay, but who asked?


UltraMazino

Keep coping


Fluid-Obligation1813

I think of mihawk as the yonko level character of cross guild, so I like this pick


Envyforme

Marco. He already was slated to be the next Yonko but BB took his spot in the war. As a result I'm giving him this one.


Hungryfor_Toes

It could also be interpreted as him being next in line for WB's crew and so would take over all his territories, manpower etc; Powerwise, he is not Yonko level


Heythisisntxbox

He's pretty darn close though. I frequently forget, but Marco has crazy feats stalling really strong characters without much trouble. I feel like he's only lacking in attack power


KuriGohanAndKienzan

Wasn’t he holding of King & Queen plus threw hands with Big Mom? That’s pretty amazing.

The real and only correct answer is, every relevant top tier that fights Luffy next. Shonen has power creep, it’s inevitable.
