The weakest member of every Yonko crew, explained

Important takeaways

• Charlotte Flampe is the weakest named character in Big Mom Pirates due to limited action and ability.
• Stronger is considered the weakest member of the Blackbeard Pirates due to an average Devil Fruit ability.
• Nami is the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates due to her role as a non-combat navigator, focusing on various skills.

The crew of Emperors of the Sea i One Piece widely regarded as the most powerful in the entire pirate world as those who pose the greatest threat to the World Government. One of the basic requirements to be part of a Yonko crew has to do with strength, as the power they have should be unchallenged by someone of a lower level than them, otherwise they wouldn't be strong enough to maintain their power for long .

But despite this, each of these crews has a member who is simply not as powerful as the others. However, this is not to say that they are weak in any way, just that they are outclassed in terms of strength by almost every other character in the crew. So let's break down the weakest member of each of them One Piece's Yonko team and see why they are in that place.

Charlotte Flampe was a nuisance

Weakest member of the Big Mom Pirates

Although the Big Mom Pirates are the weakest Yonko crew in history, they are actually the largest in terms of size, as Big Mom has had 85 children who are each part of the crew. Technically, the weakest members of this crew are the little kids who are nameless and have an incredibly brief mention in the story. Due to such a brief mention, Flampe can be considered the weakest named character in this cast.

Someone like you can't be my big brother, Katakuri!

Flampe really only acted as a minor hindrance in Luffy's fight against Katakuri by spitting poison arrows at him. However, she was later incapacitated during the clash between Luffy and Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki, showing that despite her high praise of herself, she was practically useless.

Doc Q and stronger are weaker than others

The weakest members of the Blackbeard Pirates

The Blackbeard Pirates are one of the most powerful crews, even among the Emperors. Because of this, even the weaker members of this crew are still quite formidable fighters who possess very powerful Devil Fruit abilities. The true weakest member of this crew is actually a horse named Stronger, who is used as a mount for Doc Q.

A man is no better than his luck.

As the captain of the ninth ship and a member of Blackbeard's ten Titanic captains, Doc Q is very powerful, especially when seen with his Devil Fruit, which can create and spread powerful diseases to his enemies. But the definitely weakest member of this crew is Stronger, whose only ability is to fly after eating the mythical Zoan Pegasus Fruit. Ironically, Stronger is seen as ill as Doc Q himself.

The weakest members of the Beast Pirates

Much like the Big Mom Pirates, the Beast Pirates are largely made up of a lot of low-level foot soldiers who haven't done anything significant in the story. While much of Kaido's crew has incredibly powerful members who all possess impressive strength, Waiters is the lowest level in the organization. These are ordinary people who have not received any power boost from any Devil or SMILE Fruits, so they basically just serve as fodder to bulk up the total powers of the Beast Pirates.

Atmos is a forgotten pirate

The weakest member of the Whitebeard Pirates

Despite being one of the strongest crews in One Piece and with the most powerful captain of the previous four emperors of the sea, the Whitebeard Pirates themselves were not very strong. The bulk of their notoriety came from Whitebeard himself, who was a pirate strong enough to rival Gol D. Roger and had arguably the strongest Devil Fruit in the entire setting, giving him the power to destroy the entire world if he wanted to.

You should tell me my beloved son is okay.

Because of this, some members of the Whitebeard Pirates were quite weak, mainly Atmos. Atmos was the 13th Division Commander in the crew and while he didn't get a lot of screen time, he failed to do anything substantial in all the time he did get. He even fell victim to Doflamingo's strings during the Paramount War and started crying out for help, showing how weak he really was.

Mohji and Richie are trapped by Buggy

Weakest member of the cross guild

Most fans of the series probably don't even remember Mohji, as the biggest role he earned was back in the earliest stages of One Piece story. Introduced as the first mate of the Buggy Pirates, Mohji made his debut on the back of his pet lion, Richie, and proved to be an obstacle for Luffy, Zoro and Nami at that stage of the story. But they were ultimately defeated rather easily.

There is no animal in this world that Beast Tamer Mohji cannot tame!

Since then, however, they've barely even featured in the story, with the series showing vague glimpses of Mohji atop his lion here and there every now and then. Currently, they are both part of the Cross Guild due to Mohji's loyalty to his former (and also current) captain, although they are even further out of the limelight than they were then.

Rockstar is the newest member of the Red Hair Pirates

Weakest member of the Red Hair Pirates

The Red Hair Pirates are infamous around the world for being arguably the most powerful crew without a single Devil Fruit user, instead relying on their mastery of Haki. Because of this, each of the crew's most important members is said to be relative to each other in terms of strength, so this is by far the most balanced crew of all the Yonkos and is the one with the largest total bounty as well.

Hello! You've heard of Rockstar, right?!

Rockstar was inducted into the ranks of the Red Hair Pirates quite recently, as it had only been two years since he joined. Because of this, it can be assumed that his mastery of Haki and overall strength cannot even be compared to the tops of this crew, although he is still quite confident in his abilities. This could be seen when he asked Shanks if he would reclaim his honor after Whitebeard tore up his letter, which Shanks forbade. At least this shows that Rockstar is far above the average pirate in terms of strength.

Nami shines in areas other than combat

Weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates

Although Oda has pointed out that Usopp would be the weakest member of the Straw Hats in an SBS, at least until Elbaf, he is still far superior in physicality compared to Nami. The main reason for this is that Nami's role in the Straw Hats crew is not one that is focused on combat given that she is the navigator. While this role is arguably the most important, it shows that Nami's expertise lies in things other than fighting.

If you think I'm just a pretty girl, you're dead wrong!

Also, even though Usopp's weakness has been called out by Oda, he was still able to unlock Observation Haki during the events of Dressrosa, which is greater than Nami's combat achievements. But she's certainly no pushover in a fight, as her Clima-Tact is now imbued with the power of Big Mom's Zeus, making it much stronger than ever before.
