This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
A bit Chapter 1158 gave the fans a lot of exciting information, but most of all it revealed to the fans a new character that the fans can be considered stronger than Yonko. As fans know now, Yonko is the four most powerful pirates in A bit World that governs the new world as kings. But that's not everything. Yonko is also among the most powerful in the world.
Only the absolute strongest characters in A bit Can go up to Yonko and hope to keep their own. That said, there are some selected in A bit The world that is Known to have strength exceeds even yonko. The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger was really one of them, as well as Whitebeard. Fans know that too Rocks was a legend among legends, but now ODA has revealed yet another character that can be conveniently ranked over Yonko, and it is none other than King Harald of Elbaf.

Harald and stones collided in Marijoa

Harald tried to kill stones
When Harald was first introduced in A bitFans were not so sure how strong he was. While some expected him to be a monster, hardly anyone knew he would be close to stones in terms of power. Then, when the rocks Flashback started, it was pretty clear to see that Harald was slightly comparable to stones. When the two met first in Marijoa, they collided and that led to all in a radius of 5 km blown awaywhich is astonishing.

Still, this was just a collision and fans didn't know exactly how strong he was. But in a piece of chapter 1158, Oda cleared all the doubts once and for all, as he finally showed a struggle between Harald and Rocks. In this struggle, It was clear to see that Harald was exactly equal to stones D. Xebec in power. In this battle, Harald managed to beat out stonesWhile stones did the same to him. He is canonically at the Rock's level, which means He is stronger than most yonko in one piece.

Harald goes down like one of a bit strongest
Stones are made to be stronger than Whitebeard
Harald is on the same level as Whitebeard has enormous consequences for the action of A bit. The most important thing is that it simply tells the fans that Harald is actually potentially stronger than even whitebeard. In Wano, Oda stated that Roger's biggest opponent was none other than stones, even bigger than Whitebeard. Now the fans know that Harald is equal to stones, so it is quite clear that Harald is potentially even stronger than Whitebeard.
He could even be stronger than Roger, given that Roger and Whitebeard are canonically equal in power as well. Again, there is a great chance that both Roger and Whitebeard were far from their peaks at this time, and that they continued to become stronger and reached the same level as Harald and Rocks. Nevertheless, ODA has officially introduced a new character stronger than Yonko in King HaraldAnd fans absolutely can't wait to see how the rest of his story goes in the next couple of chapters in one piece.
