Sai is an excellent warrior who specializes in Hasshoken, a fighting style that utilizes vibrations. He combines Hasshoken and Haki to create an attack devastating enough to potentially take down someone as strong as Lao G. After witnessing his power firsthand, Chinjao admitted that Sai surpassed him in strength. Of course, this was a huge compliment, as Chinjao was an elite warrior in his prime.
6 gecko moria
Gecko and Thriller Bark Pirate Captain
Gecko Moria is considered an underdog mainly because he lost to pre-timeskip Luffy and not Haki. While it is certainly true that Moria is not as powerful as her fellow Shichibukai, there are several factors behind it. First of all, Gecko Moria lost much interest in fighting after his entire crew was wiped out by Kaido. Gecko Moria also became lazy and decided to rest on his laurels and eventually became weak.

Currently, Laffitte is the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' fifth ship, the Titanic. He is also the Chief of Staff because he is more rational than the rest of the crew. Laffitte is a Devil Fruit user, but the nature of his powers is unknown.
4 sanjuan wolf
One of the worst criminals in history

One Piece: All Known Mythical Animal Devil Fruits
The Mythical Joan Devil Fruit is the most powerful type in One Piece, but little has been revealed about it. Here's what we know about what we've seen so far.
Sanjuan Wolf possesses the Deka Deka no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to increase his size. In fact, he can grow so huge that his feet touch the ocean floor. Sanjuan Wolf didn't have a fighting chance, but it's safe to assume he could easily destroy the fleet on his own.
3 molly
Leads the Northern Army of Revolutionaries
Molly is the captain of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army. At some point in the past, Molly was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. She stayed at the facility for some time before escaping. Her escape was so successful that no one knew she had left the facility.
Molly possesses Oshioshinomi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that can turn the ground into clay. Considering she is a commander within the Revolutionary Army, Morley would have access to Armament and Observation Haki. Because Molly is also a member of a giant race, her physical strength is superior to that of most individuals in One Piece.
2 Joe's
Led the fighting unit of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Jozu was the captain of the 3rd Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Because he was in charge of the fighter section, he was clearly one of the best fighters within the crew. Even though Joju was a human being, he possessed tremendous power. This becomes clear when he lifts a huge block of ice and throws it towards the Marines. The size of the block dwarfed the Marineford giants.
Jozu's main source of power was Kirakiranomi, a Paramecia devil fruit. This allows him to cover his body in diamonds, making him resistant to all types of physical attacks. His Haki was also phenomenal as he was able to make Aokiji bleed from the mouth with one strike.
1 Shanks
Captain of the Red Hair Pirates
Shanks is by far the strongest character born in West Blue. He is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Yonko. Shanks is one of the few who is respected by his fellow pirates, marines, and even the Five Elders.
Shanks doesn't have a Devil Fruit, but his Haki makes up for it. Shanks has mastered all types of Haki and currently there is no one close to him in terms of Haki usage. Even though Shanks hasn't gone all out in battle, fans know that his powers supersede those of almost every One Piece character.
