One Pieceiscurrently in the Final Saga, and the story has been absolutely phenomenal so far. The Elbaf arc is ongoing at the moment, and many exciting battles are currently being fought already, with Luffy at the center of the biggest. There is no denying the fact that since Luffy became a Yonko, fans have been wanting to see more of his battles against other top tiers in the world.
At the same time, the old strong characters inOne Piecehave also had the attention of the fans right from the get-go. Even though the current era belongs to the new generation, Oda has highlighted the legendary pirates of the old times, and again in the story, and in doing so, confirmed the top 5 of recent times.
The Most Legendary Pirate In The World Of One Piece
When it comes to the legendary pirates of the old era in One Piece, there are two that fans know stand at the very top and are stronger than anyone else, and they are Whitebeard and Roger. Roger specifically was the greatest of all, having become the Pirate King. His strength too was considered to be absolutely incredible. Along with Roger, there is also Whitebeard, who fans know to be the only pirate to equal Roger in battle. He was one of Roger’s biggest rivals, and that makes him rank among the strongest of all time, especially since he carries the title of the strongest man in the world.
Oh, Joy Boy, I wish I were born in your era! — Pirate King, Gol D. Roger
Roger’s True Rivals Were Monsters In Their Own Right
While Roger and Whitebeard rank among the strongest of the strong,there’s also Rocks D. Xebecto consider. Known to be Roger’s biggest rival, Rocks was an absolute monster, although much about him has been erased from history. His strength was such that Roger needed to team up with Garp to actually beat him in battle, and that goes to show how much of a monster he truly was. He also had some legends like Whitebeard under him.
The Wings Of The Pirate King Rivaled Roger Himself
Rayleigh And Gaban Were Monsters Too
White Roger and his rivals were quite strong, and so were his underlings. Fans know very well thatRoger had two strong subordinates, both of whom were powerful enough to be compared to him and held tremendous strength. Their fame was immense, and the legends attached to their name were second to none.
Together, they were known as the Wings of the Pirate King. — Hajrudin on Gaban and Rayleigh
Gaban and Rayleigh have been explicitly confirmed to be among the biggest legends of the world, and fans know very well that together with Roger, they rank among the strongest in the world.
There’s also the case of Oden to consider, and he too was a monster. With immense strength up his sleeve, it is clear that Oden is also among the strongest in history, but he’s likely weaker than the Wings of the Pirate King, especially since it has explicitly been confirmedthat Gaban and Rayleighare the second and third strongest of the crew, interchangeably.
