Strongest Ninja In One Piece, Ranked

In it One Piece series, just as there are pirates and many other unusual creatures, the series also has ninjas who are stealthy warriors and skilled fighters. Although their role is often overshadowed by the more prominent pirate crews and their devil fruit powers, the ninjas bring a unique and powerful set of abilities to the series. What sets them apart One Piece is their ability to control the flow of a fight with precision, use hidden weapons and sometimes even their secret art of ninjutsu. Most of these ninja live in Wano, and their skills as fighters were put in the spotlight, especially during the plan to take Wano back from the ruthless Kaido.

Raizo

Wano's silent warrior

• First appearance: Section 768

Raizo of the Mist is one of One Piece's most impressive and resourceful ninjas. A loyal retainer of the Kozuki clan and a member of the Akazaya Nine, Raizo embodies the traditional skills of a ninja, mastering stealth and agility, making him a dangerous opponent. What really sets Raizo apart is his ability to mix ancient ninja techniques with the supernatural powers of his Maki Maki no Mi (Scroll-Scroll Fruit). His Paramecia-type devil fruit gives him the power to store items, attacks, and even fire-based techniques in scrolls, turning them into weapons at will. One of his bravest moments comes during the Onigashima raid when he uses his scrolls to absorb and redirect Kaido's devastating breath attack. This depicts his quick thinking and proves that he is a good ally for any group or faction. Even after enduring decades of loss and hardship after Odin's death, he remained devoted in his mission to regain Wano's freedom.

Fukuroku

The leader of the Onibabanshu

• First appearance: Section 925

His abilities reflect years of training and dedication to the art of Ninjutsu, which is why he is a personal guard to a noble figure like Orochi.

In addition, he has elongated earlobes, which he uses during battles as whips against his opponents. Even Raizo complemented Fukurokuju as a top ninja during their fight at Onigashima. While Raizo relied on his Scroll-Scroll Fruit, Fukurokuju countered with precise movements and strategic use of his paralysis techniques and earlobes. Although Fukurokuju was ultimately defeated, his performance shows his dedication to his duty and refusal to give up, even when the odds are against him.

Shinobu

The Stealthy Kunoichi of Wano

• First appearance: Section 911

Shinobu is a kunoichi from Wano, one of the loyalists of the Kozuki clan. She is also one of the most skilled and resilient ninjas within One Piece as she often protects Momonosuke, the heir to Wano's throne, in the series. As a member of Wano's secretive Onibabanshu in her youth, Shinobu mastered the art of Ninjutsu, and she possesses great stealth and agility to outwit her enemies.

Shinobu ate Juku Juku no Mi (Ripe-Ripe Fruit), a Paramecia-type devil fruit that allows her to rapidly age anything she touches. This ability gives her a unique advantage in battle, allowing her to weaken physical structures around her while distracting and disarming her enemies. Shinobu's importance was demonstrated during the Onigashima raid, where she played a significant role in infiltrating enemy territory and protecting Momonosuke. While she may not fit the mold of a great warrior in the series, Shinobu's courage, intelligence, and abilities solidify her place as one of the strongest ninja in One Piece.

The muscles of the Oniwabanshu group

• First appearance: Section 925

Another strong ninja in the series is Daikoku, an elite ninja who served Wano's former shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, before joining the Beast pirates. Although he was a minor antagonist, he was a skilled ninja to be part of Orochi's Onibabanshu before joining Kaido's Legion. He was able to sneak up to Nico Robin in Wano with the rest of the Onibabanshu while sneaking through a crowded banquet without attracting any attention. Also, he recovered from Robin's attack faster than usual, meaning he is very durable. While Daikoku's full abilities have yet to be revealed, his role as protector of the Orochi suggests skill in both martial arts and tactical planning. Given his size and armor, he likely uses a fighting style that combines raw strength with defensive techniques, making him a robust figure among ninjas.

She also used it against the Straw Hats' swordsman, Roronoa Zoro, in Wano.
