9 characters that can easily beat the admirals in one piece

As for the strongest of them One Piece the world, it is quite clear that Admirals of the Navy is up there with the best. The Admirals of the Navy are known to be the absolute powerhouses of the World Government, possessing immense strength in both Great Haki and Devil Fruits.

Over the years, fans have seen many overpowered naval admirals in the world of One Piecebut while they are strong, neither is at the top of the verse. There are plenty of powerful One Piece characters that can easily beat Marine Admirals. Oda has already shown in the Elbaf flashback of One Piece that some characters, like Rocks D. Xebec, can easily kill admirals of the navy and not even breaking a sweat.

Kaido

The world's strongest creature

When it comes to tremendous strength, Kaido is easily one of the characters that Oda has shown the most in One Piece. His immense feats of strength were quite evident in the Wano Country arc. Kaido possesses the power of Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuand on top of that, he has advanced Haki of all three types, making him an absolute powerhouse. Kaido had power great enough to destroy entire islands with ease. A Navy Admiral alone wouldn't even be able to seriously hurt Kaido. With advanced Conqueror's Haki and the raw power his fruit offers, Kaido would quickly make the Navy Admirals.

Monkey D. Luffy

The newest Yonko Of the Sea

Luffy just became a Yonko, but fans know very well that he is easy one of the strongest characters in the story. Luffy has already fought and beaten an admiral in Eggheadand while it wasn't easy, you have to remember that Luffy didn't go all out and didn't use his Conqueror's Haki in the first place. At the same time, Luffy's strongest abilities, such as the Bajrang Gunwas not used in battle. After Elbaf, Luffy should be able to easily destroy the likes of the Admirals.

Silver's Rayleigh

The Dark King

In Roger Pirates, Oda specifically singled out three characters to be on a different level compared to the rest, and Silver's Rayleigh is one of them. Being comparable to his captain, Rayleigh is an absolute monster of Haki. He uses advanced Supreme King Haki, and extremely advanced Armament Haki as well. Rayleigh is incredibly powerful and even in his old age without going all out he could stop and even hurt Kizaru. In his prime, he would easily beat admirals.

Scopper Gaban

The Mountain Eater

Just like Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban was also comparable to Gol D. Roger in power. Known to be Rayleigh's equal and the potential second strongest in the Roger Pirates, Gaban is easily one of the most impressive characters in terms of power. With his incredible advanced Observation and Conqueror's HakiGaban could easily shoot a Holy Knight and could have even defeated Gunko. No doubt he could easily kill a navy admiral.

King Harald

The strongest king of Elbaf

Harald may be underestimated by fans, but the truth is he is an absolute monster strong enough to fight Rocks D. Xebec on equal terms and Oda highlighted this on many occasions. His strength was absolutely immense, and as Xebec could kill admirals, so could Harald.

White beard

The world's strongest man

Whitebeard is one of the strongest in the world of One Pieceand much of that is due to his incredible Devil Fruit, Gura Gura no Mi. This fruit allows him to send vibrations through land, air or sea, leading to earthquakes and tsunamis. He can destroy islands in an instant and even destroy the world. For him, it would be very easy to beat an admiral.

Rocks D. Xebec

The successor to Davy Jones

As for the strongest of them One Piece world, Rocks D. Xebec surely gets a mention. Fans know he's incredibly overpowered, and he canonically killed a Navy Admiral without even breaking a sweat in Marijoa. He then proceeded to clash with Harald, and when he did so he didn't even look hurt. For him, beating an admiral was a piece of cake.

Gol D. Roger

The Pirate King

Gol D. Roger was Rock's biggest rival back in the old era, and he had enough power to compete with him. Roger was an absolute monster of power, and with Garp, he hit a Domi Reversi'd Rocks. He then continued to grow even stronger in the years to come. In his prime, Roger was as strong as Rocks, if not stronger, and would easily kill a Navy Admiral.

Shanks

Destiny's Child

In the new generation, Shanks is a pirate who has clearly proven himself to be a cut above the rest. Shanks was Roger's very own apprentice and even Roger and his crew thought he was the next king after the captain. Shanks has tremendous Haki, comparable to even Joy Boy. His powers are overwhelming and for him it wouldn't be too difficult to kill a Navy Admiral.
