The Straw Hat Pirates are an incredibly powerful pirate crew that rules the New World as one of the four Imperial crews One Piece. Led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy, the crew has immense strength up their sleeve, even rivaling and defeating the Beast Pirates in the Wano Country arc. Over the years, the Straw Hats have developed their skills greatly, and it goes without saying that they possess some incredibly powerful abilities, all of which are extremely different as well as deadly. While they are all impressive, they are not equally powerful, and some have abilities that really stand out much more than others.

One Piece: 7 Strongest Straw Hat Transformations, Ranked

The Straw Hat Pirates have grown tremendously in strength in One Piece. These are their strongest transformations.

Usopp's Black Kabuto

Usopp has become incredibly powerful over the years, and currently stands tall as a mighty fighter of the Straw Hat crew, with a bounty of 500 million berries on his head. Usopp has a strong arsenal of weapons, but his most impressive weapon is clearly his Black Kabuto. With this weapon, Usopp's sniping capabilities have improved tremendously, and he has shown that he can snip anything miles away from him.

As a sniper, Black Kabuto makes Usopp extremely powerful, and combined with his other weapons, such as Pop Green, as well as Observation Haki, makes him a very deadly fighter.

Brook's Chill Of The Underworld

Stream possesses the powers of Yomi Yomi no Mi, which he was able to take to the next level during the two-year time jump. During this time he unlocked the cold of the underworldwhich gives him the power to freeze his enemies to the bone.

This Chill of the Underworld can be used through his cane sword, and it has only grown stronger with each passing arc. While not the most impressive straw hat ability, it's definitely up there with the best.

Chopper's Monster Point

Chopper unlocked the power of Monster Point long before he even met Luffy, but he unleashed it for the very first time in Enies Lobby. During the time jump, Chopper managed to gain conscious control of Monster Pointand on top of that he created in Wano a special Rumble Ball that extended the form to 30 minutes. Right now, Chopper's form is still one of the strongest weapons that he has, and it's also incredibly impressive to say the least.

Nami's Zeus Climatact

Nami has used the power of her Climatact for quite some time in One Piece, but the latest upgrade it received in Wano, thanks to Zeus, made it stronger than ever before. Part of Zeus has essentially fused with Nami's Climatactand that makes it even more dangerous, as she can now manipulate Zeus' power at will.

Nami can deliver deadly thunderbolts as well as manipulate rain on a much larger scale, making this power much more impressive.

Robin's Demonio Fleur

Nico Robin took the capabilities of her Devil Fruit to the next level in the Wano Country Arc when she hit on the power of Demonio Fleur. This ability makes Robin powerful enough to overwhelm even someone as strong as Black Maria, a pirate with a 480 million berry prize and an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. With his unique Demonio powers, Robin was able to easily defeat Black Maria in just a single move.

One Piece: 7 Non-Yonkos Stronger Than Luffy, Ranked

Luffy has some of the strongest Devil Fruit and Haki abilities in the story, but here are 5 characters who are still stronger than him!

Franky's Super Vega Cola

Frankie has received various power-ups in One Piece over the years, but none of them are as impressive as Super Vega Colawhich was granted to him by none other than Vegapunk in the Elbaph arc. With ODC, Vegapunk was able to convert thermal energy into a special form of cola, which was then fed to Franky.

This cola increased his capabilities to the point where he could defeat one of the giant MMA's created by Saint Killingham on his own. Franky was already strong enough to defeat Sasaki in battle by himself, but now he has surpassed that level and should be able to compete with the Yonko commanders.

Jinbe's Fishman Karate Secret Arts

Jinbe has always been an incredibly powerful asset to the Straw Hat Pirates, and he possesses immense strength, that goes without saying. His strength and stature have made him a well-respected individual throughout the world One Piece.

When it comes to battle, Jinbe is a complete master of Fish-Man Karateand he even knows the secret arts of both Fish-Man Karate and Merman Jujutsu. It is that particular skill that he continues to refine to this day.

Sanji's Ifrit Jambe

Sanji is one of the Pirate King's wings that constantly evolves as the story continues. right now, his strongest power is Ifrit Jambewhich he unlocked in the Wano Country Arc after awakening his Lineage Factor modifications and combining it with his high level Haki.

Over time, Sanji's Ifrit Jambe has only improved, and right now he can casually pull it off at any time. With it, Sanji even defeated Saint Killingham, dismembering him in an instant.

Zoro's king of hell with three swords

Just like Sanji, Zoro is one of the Pirate King's wings, and he has enormous firepower up his sleeve. Zoro's strongest ability is his King of Hell Three-sword Stylewhich he raised in the Wano Country arc. This fighting style makes full use of the power of Enma as Zoro allows it to drain as much Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki from his body as physically possible.

Using these powers at their highest level, Zoro was able to defeat King the Wildfire and even deal lethal damage to Rob Lucci. That said, Zoro's King of Hell Three Sword Style still needs improvement, as he doesn't have conscious control over Conqueror's Haki or Advanced Armament Haki yet. Over time, he will improve his control over these powers, and when that happens, he will reach an extremely high level overall that will make him compete with the likes of Mihawk and other top tiers.

Luffy's Gear 5

The captain of the crew, Luffy possesses several powers, but his strongest ability is light Gear 5which is the awakening of Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. This Devil Fruit was awakened by Luffy in the Wano Country Arc during the fight against Kaido. Ever since then, Luffy has gained access to an incredibly powerful form that hardly anyone in the sea can compete with, and it truly shows his immense ability as a Yonko.

When combined with high-level weaponry and Conqueror's Haki, Gear 5 becomes even stronger, so much so that it can overpower a Yonko like Kaido. In the Elbaf arc, Luffy has continued to grow even further, reaching a level where you can replicate the feats of redheaded Shanks effortlessly.
