One Piece: Every Marine Admiral’s Devil Fruit, Ranked

The Marine Admirals are the World Government’s strongest military force in One Piece. Here’s a look at the strength of their Devil Fruits.

They have a Three Crown bounty attached to them by the Cross Guild, which amounts to 3 billion berries and just goes to show that these Marine Admirals are incredibly dangerous fighters. While they are certainly strong, there are many pirates who can rival these Admirals in terms of power as well as skill.


6 Eustass Kid

A Three Billion Pirate

Eustass Captain Kid proved his strength to the fans in the Wano arc where he combined his forces with Law to take on Big Mom. Kid succeeded in taking down Big Mom and that in itself is proof that he can hold his own against any elite fighter. Kid can certainly take on Marine Admirals in battle, and even though he lost terribly in the fight against Shanks, the Yonko are certainly a level above the Admirals.

This would mean that the perfect opponent for Kid at this point would be the Marine Admirals as they would be around his level of strength, possibly being slightly stronger. That said, Kid has overcome adversities time and again, and if he were to battle an Admiral, he can certainly overcome them with the power of his awakened Jiki Jiki no Mi, and his Haki on top of that.

5 Trafalgar Law

A Three Billion Pirate

Just like Kid, Law is also a 3 billion beri pirate and a very skilled fighter. His awakened Devil Fruit powers make him a threat strong enough to combat even the Yonko. Although Law isn’t as strong as the Yonko themselves, he can certainly take on an Admiral in battle and potentially even win.

Law certainly deserves the high bounty that he received and his strength will only go on to increase with time. Given how much damage his Devil Fruit Awakening causes, Law has more than enough in his arsenal to take down a Marine Admiral.

4 Silvers Rayleigh

The Right Arm Of The Pirate King

Rayleigh is the former Vice Captain of the Roger Pirates and a living legend in the One Piece world. His strength has been showcased in the story time and again and it is quite clear for the fans to see that he is already as strong as an Admiral, despite being old.

One Piece: Why Dragon Left The Marines, Explained

Monkey D Dragon used to be a member of the marines in One Piece – however he left to create the Revolutionary Army.

In his prime, Rayleigh could certainly be stronger than a Marine Admiral and that speaks for itself. In fact, his strength is so great that Garp believed that going to challenge Rayleigh without preparation is akin to suicide as the Navy cannot handle two legends at the same time. Rayleigh possesses tremendously overpowered Haki, such that he could easily cut Kizaru in their short confrontation and hold him at bay.

3 Boa Hancock

Her Strength Is Overwhelming

Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, is an incredibly powerful pirate and one of the few female characters in the One Piece world who can hold their own against nearly anyone. Hancock belongs to the powerful Kuja Tribe, which means that her affinity to use Haki is incredibly high.

In fact, she’s one of the few characters who left the Paramount War without so much as a scratch. Hancock commands Haki at the highest level and what makes her even scarier is the fact that her Devil Fruit can take down nearly anyone in One Piece. Hancock could even have defeated Blackbeard had he not snuck up on her to nullify her ability and this is something that Blackbeard himself affirmed. For her, taking down an Admiral should not be too hard.

2 Dracule Mihawk

The World’s Strongest Swordsman

Mihawk is the World’s Strongest Swordsman and that automatically qualifies him for legendary status in the One Piece world. His Bounty of 3.590 billion berries, even though a bit inflated due to being associated with the Cross Guild, is very impressive.

Mihawk is surely extremely skilled. He is also in his prime at the moment and that only means that he can’t take on an Admiral and even defeat them without too much trouble. Among the pirates, he is on the same level as that of the Yonko, and that in itself is proof that Mihawk cannot be troubled by someone with the rank of an Admiral.

1 The Yonko

The Strongest On The Seas

Quite easily among the strongest people in the series, the Yonko are extremely skilled individuals who cannot be defeated by just anyone. They are extremely powerful and are certainly in a league of their own. Aside from Buggy, every single member of the current Yonko is strong enough to take on an Admiral and defeat them without too much trouble.

These amazing Yonko possess such incredible Haki and, in certain cases, incredible Devil Fruit powers that the Admirals simply cannot overcome them. Their strength, when combined with their toughness, sees to it that they remain the strongest of all One Piece characters.
