Re: Who's the most strongest guy in op ?

The thread is interesting, indeed... For now, I'm puttin' aside that Luffy likely will become the strongest in the long run (very looong run, 'cause, really, he still has a pretty damn long way to go) and tryin' to figure it out as of now...

As it was said on the 1st page there're several groups/ organizations:
- Revolutionaries: I guess Dragon stands unbeaten here (as far as I remember, he's the wost wanted man in the world, after all...)
- Shichibukai: I'll be damned if Mihawk isn't strongest among them ("best swordsman in the world" speaks for it)
- World Government: I'll bet on Sengoku, he gotta be really strong as well as clever, all the rest Admirals (Aokiji, Akazaru and one more, don't remember his nickname) and Vice-Admirals (Garp) gotta be below his level just judgin' by the hierarchy, not mentionin' other marines
- Pirates: Shirohige, obviously, since Oda-sensei stated that himself, but it was also said that other 3 Yonkou are the only ones who could be compared to him, and that means they're pretty damn close to his level. Indirectly this is being confirmed by the fact that Shanks drew his sword and accepted the fight without any hesitation, hardly intendin' on losing it, thus he was pretty sure about Shirohige's power level as well as his own.

As for who of the 4 said above persons is the strongest... there's hardly evidence to prove it, but I'd say it's either Shirohige or Dragon (well, the World Government needs Shichibukai to assist it in keepin' in check pirates and revolutionaries, not quite being able to do it on its own, so...)

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

Oda-sensei established Shirohige at the moment of his introduction as strongest, this is a fact . But the situation never keeps still, it chages and develops, things are movin' on, so this "strongest" was just a starting point. That's why I think it would be safe to assume that he's really "the strongest", but only until this is proven wrong somehow. So far, from what we know, it wasn't. So maybe, just maybe Shanks is goin' to be the one to refute it. He was pretty angry about Shirohige being so stubborn and not listening to reason. But still, there's quite a possibility that this wouldn't escalate into a real fight, since Yasopp said that Shanks didn't really intent on fighting Shirohige.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

Well, since Shanks said that BB was a good candidate for "Strongest Man in the World", then maybe the "strongest" title includes DF/aura AND physical power, since Shanks's power seems to come from aura.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

i guess he is the strongest in the the world but also the strongest sick man in the world.. with all those nurses around him (i recall) he probably like to stay sick..

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

He isn't sick, he's just old, which shows how powerful he must have been when he was in his prime.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

if he is that old to need those medical aid, then he would be in his 60s-70s... or so... would it be possible for him to have other special power or talent beside his strength..?

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

hmm isnt't Whitebreard actually a giant - he's like 4 times taller than Shanks o.O
one of his Division commanders (not Marco but the other.. was it the 3rd div guy?) is quite big (as in 'enormous human') but he looks like a little boy next to him
and if he's a giant his remark about Shanks being 100 years early to tell him what to do makes perfect sense ;)
IMO his age has nothing to do with his health atm

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

Errm... don't think that he's a giant, you can look from when his fight with Shanks...he's probably twice as Shanks size...it's just a bit confusing,i mean look at those three from Franky Family, they're big but compare to Oimoo n Kashii they're nothin'...then compare Moria to Oz...I think WB is just like them, he's just human but with supersized body.

Well... i do believe that he is the strongest, come on you can tell from the look. He is old, yes but that also mean he's got lots of experience. I think even Sengoku himslef would be in a very big trouble if he fight him, and that four geezers of the WG worried so much when they heard Shanks wants to meet with him, that should be the prove that he still hold the world strongest man's title.

Re: Who's the most strongest guy in op ?

Yes, it is.
(look, reading manga you learn japanese! reading this I learnt "hige" means "beard" xDD)

Well... there are still some Shichibukai unknown and people like Sengoku and others marines or Dragon haven't shown their powers. It's hard to choose the strongest one...

Re: Who's the most strongest guy in op ?

Well, Sengoku could just be the highest for tactical or political reasons, not necessarily because of his power. And Dragon hasn't been called powerful, just dangerous and influential. And I believe hige means beard or mustache, right?

Re: Who's the most strongest guy in op ?

who is shirogihe guy are you talking about?
As Luckas said Shirohige is japanese for Whitebeard. Sorry, if it's not very understandable, I just can't bring myself to use English nickname because of this reason:
And I believe hige means beard or mustache, right?
Totaly right, one word contain 2 quite different meanings. And as we can clearly see, Edward "Shirohige" Newgate actually doesn't have any beard, but what he has is this crazy white moustache of his (he's probably very proud about it^^))) That's why I can't call him WhiteBEARD))))
Well... there are still some Shichibukai unknown and people like Sengoku and others marines or Dragon haven't shown their powers. It's hard to choose the strongest one...
We know nothing about only one Shichibukai, right? All the rest are somewhat known, at least by names (though I really don't remember the name of the mermain guy we have yet to see). As for their powers, most of them yet have to be shown. Someday... But so far none of them except for Mihawk holds title of "best" in something, that's why I think Taka no Me (=Hawk's eye)))) is the strongest of them.
Well, Sengoku could just be the highest for tactical or political reasons, not necessarily because of his power. And Dragon hasn't been called powerful, just dangerous and influential.
Maybe, since we know next to nothing about real power of Sengoku. Though I think those who are responsible for political and tactical decisions are the 5 old guys formin' the World Government, and Marines are like executive power to them.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

I guess all these IVs are needed because due to his age (and affection for drinking alchohol))) he has something like high blood-pressure. His age is no less than 60 years, I believe, it's been 22 years since Roger was executed, and Roger looked like he was in his 40s at least.

And he's huge for a normal human, but he's not a giant, I believe. Maybe there's a race that is something in-between giants and normal human, like cross-breeding (don't ask me how it can be possible from the physical point of view x_x), that's why we have him and those from Franky Family.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

Or he can just be a very large man. The Russian Dog Boy had hair all over his face like a dog, but that doesn't mean he was "cross bred" with a dog! It seems that the ability to just "be large" is not as "one in a million" as it is on Earth, since the Kairiki Destroyers and Moria have that condition.

Re: Who's the most strongest guy in op ?

He's just the best swordsman. I'm sure someone who isn't a swordsman can still defeat a swordsman, so they could still, potentially, defeat Mihawk, so he isn't the "strongest".

This still all comes down to how you define strongest as mihawk is the greatest sword man so he would be the strongest with a sword where as whitebeard could just be the strongest in physical strength so i dont really have an opinion on who is the strongest as i think its still white beard but his failing health will be his downfall

Strongest/stronger would really just be detirmined in a fight, and I doubt the Shichibukai will fight amounst themselves, or that Mihawk will fight WB. Although, either of those things happening would be fantastic and I would hug Oda-sensei for such acts.

1st enel not because he is DF user because he is very smart he figuered many ways to late luffy many time he is guneis he can handle his DF very good and figuer many ways to handle things in no time.
2ns mihawk because of his sword.

Re: Whitebeard Strongest in the World?

I think the titles Strongest Pirate in the world, One of the Four Emperors in the new world, the man closest to One Piece is basically proof enough on how tough this old man is. Plus he's got a huge army of followers.

He's a gigantic man who moves fast I mean he blocked Shanks who if just based on body weight should be faster. And note he was swinging a Guan Tau halberd type weapon. I say he is currently the strongest but old battle wounds and age have caught up with him. I do want to know who gave him that scar on his chest though was it BB or Gold Roger.
