At the same time, Oda presents an overwhelming cast of characters with powerful classes, some of which are clearly even more powerful than the Pirate King himself.

Gol D. Roger was at his strongest by the end of his journey
-
Roger canonically became stronger after God Valley.
-
Roger's heyday came 25 to 30 years ago in One Piece.
Gol D. Roger is one of the most powerful individuals to have ever lived in the world of One Piece.. In fact, it could be said that he was the strongest character after Joyboy. Roger became the pirate king in the world of One Piece about 26 years ago.And at this point he had already reached his peak as a pirate.
Wealth, fame, power, Gold Roger, the Pirate King, has had it all and everything the world can offer. — Narrator
All those years ago, Roger was just a rookie and there was another powerful individual on the sea named Rocks D. Xebec. Fans know that Xebec is very powerful, and at one point even stronger than Roger. 38 years ago in God Valley, Roger and Garp teamed up to defeat Rocks.. Later, Oda canonically states that all individuals who existed in God Valley continued to grow stronger, and over the next ten years, Roger established himself as the ruler of the era.
Roger's power was so strong that even Whitebeard, who had the power to destroy the world, could not equal him.. Very clear, Roger. Become the strongest of your timeAnd it was only after his death that Whitebeard became known as the strongest man in the world. It's an incredible feat for an individual to get close to Roger in terms of power, but there's one character who has pulled this off in recent flashbacks, and that's King Harald of Elbaf.
King Harald was stronger than the Pirate King
-
Harald surpassed D. Xebec in the power of Imu.
-
Imu and the five elders confirm that Harald has become a weapon of mass destruction.
Simply put, King Harald has always been incredibly powerful. It was clear he was a monster when fans saw him rampaging across the sea 109 years ago, but his powers only grew over the next few years.
Oda equated Harald's power with that of Rocks D. Xebec. The two were friends and rivals, and had many fights with each other, but most of them ended in stalemates. Their first impact was such that all traces of life were erased within a 5km radius. This shows how incredibly powerful these two are.
However, although they were almost equals until Rocks' death, Harald actually surpassed him in terms of power after receiving the Deep Sea Covenant from Imu. He was given much greater health, regeneration, and immortality. Harald, on the other hand, lost his free will and became Imu's puppet, whom he could control whenever he wanted. Fourteen years ago, in Elbaf, especially Castle Aurst, King Harald went berserk under the command of Imu, and at this point he was much stronger than the Pirate King.
Imu confirmed that Harald should have been invincible.
The fact that Harold is stronger than the Pirate King is directly confirmed by both characters.One of them is Imu. The Lord of the World clearly states in One Piece Chapter 1171 that Harald was a monster beyond the human level at this point. He was already as strong as Rox, but he also received a contract from Imu that granted him superhuman strength, regeneration, and immortality.
Is there really something hidden in Elbaf that can defeat Harald? There would be no stopping a force like this! —Imu
Moreover, Harald was even more special because he had the blood of an ancient giant. Harald was a tool of destruction, and Imu was shocked to learn that there was someone in the world who could stop this disaster.
One Piece: Oda may have confirmed Loki as the final Straw Hat
Oda has already decided who the final Straw Hat will be, and it is Loki from One Piece.
The second confirmation comes from Roger's left arm, Scoffer Gavan. Gaban himself fought King Harald and wounded him several times. Even Haki the Great, who can slow down regeneration and even incapacitate immortals if enough hits are taken. Gavan and Shanks could not stop Harald.. According to Gavan, if Harald had left Castle Aurst that day 14 years ago, he would have gone to destroy the entire world, and that's a big statement coming from the left arm of the Pirate King himself.
Today Harald saw how the world would end if he left the castle. — Scoffer Gavan
Whether it's Rox, Roger, or Whitebeard, no matter what individual fan sees, there is no character with this much power, and in the end, the person who stopped him was Loki.
Loki's Devil Fruit helped him defeat King Harald.
-
Loki wields Elbaf's legendary Devil Fruit.
-
That power may harm Imu.
By the end of the day, It was Loki's Devil Fruit that helped him take down Harold.. Shanks and Gaban were unable to stop him or defeat him in battle, and it was clear that not even Loki could stop him without his Devil Fruit. It was only after eating this legendary Devil Fruit that Loki gained the mythical powers to defeat Harald.
surely, Loki is one of the most powerful characters in the world. one pieceAnd that goes without saying. It will be interesting to see what Oda does with him later and what his true powers are.
Loki's powers are still shrouded in mystery
As of now, Loki's Devil Fruit powers are shrouded in mystery.. All fans know that the Devil Fruit is a mythical Zoan-type fruit, whose powers allow Loki to fly as well as manifest sharp claws.. Here are the most likely answers about Loki's devil fruit powers: Nidhogg A dragon from Norse mythology. Whether that's really his power or not is yet to be seen.
