One Piece is a sprawling story with tons of crews, conflicts, and characters bumping into each other at every turn. So we are here to rank the different Pirate Crews from weakest to strongest.
Get ready, it starts now!
40. Fake Straw Hat Pirates
There's not much to say about this Fake Straw Hat Pirates. 🏴☠️ This crew with "weak" members impersonated the Straw Hat crew in order to take advantage of their notoriety. Their goal was to bring together a large number of Pirates in order to head towards the New World . 🗺️ The Crew will be caught on the Sabaody Archipelago just after the two-year timeskip.
39. The Alvida Pirates
Alvida is the Captain of the Alvida Pirates , she is nicknamed Alvida with the Club. ⚒️ She is remembered as the Captain of Young Koby. She is also the first Pirate Captain that Luffy's crew will meet during their adventures. This Pirate is well known in East Blue, she has a bounty of 5,000,000 Berrys and measures almost 1m98. His crew also has an alliance with the Shichibukai Buggy the Clown . 🤡 Alvida is a character who has unfortunately often been forgotten by Eiichiro Oda.
38. The Black Cat Pirates
The Black Cat Pirates 😼⬛ is a pirate group managed by Kuro. "Black Cat" Kuro is apparently a renowned killer and a smart guy. He is also considered to be the second most intelligent man in East Blue . 🧠 The total bounty of his crew is 32,000,000 Berrys. Under his command, we find: Sham, Buchi, Jango and Nugire Yainu. If we compare them to the next Pirates crews in our ranking, we can call them mediocre.
37. Primate League
The Primate League refers to the Mountain Monkey Alliance. This crew is made up of 3 captains: Montblanc Cricket and his adopted sons Masira and Shôjô. 🙊 Using this crew, the Mugiwara crew will reach skypiea via the Knock-Up Stream. It is important to point out that Montblanc Cricket is in fact the direct descendant of the famous Norland the Liar . The total bounty of the Primate League still amounts to 84,000,000 Berrys. 💰
36. The Gyro Pirates
The Gyro Pirates are a crew made up of pirates from the North Blue , as well as a Captain named Gyro. This Pirate Crew is forced into slavery by Hody Jones , the fishman from the "Fishman Islands Arc". 🦈 After managing to free themselves from Hody Jones' grip, the Gyro crew will be stopped on the surface by the fifth section of the Grand-Line Navy, G-5. We know that the Bounty of this crew is around 73,000,000 Berrys. 💵 Note that only Captain Gyro was presented in the Manga and the Anime.
35. The Bliking Crew
Wapol is a despicable character nicknamed Wapol the Tin Place . He has several titles such as King of Drum , 👑 Boss of the Baku Baku Factory, Evil King of Black Drum or Captain of the Bliking Crew. Second-rate pirate, he has the fruit of Baku Baku no Mi, a paramecia type fruit. This fruit allows him to ingest anything and merge it 🔀 with his own body! This underestimated fruit allows, for example, the fusion of the abilities of a devil fruit with its own.
This is why we think Wapol has one of the most underrated Devil Fruits of all time. 🍈 Being able to eat and transform into whatever you ingest? It's so cool ! However, the Wapol we know is not considered a powerful Pirate, but rather a lazy person!
34. The Arlong Pirates
The Arlong Crew is made up exclusively of fish men 🐟 with the exception of Nami. This Crew was created following the election of Jinbe as the new Shichibukai. This Crew is considered inactive since their encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates.❌ Their bounty is at least 42,000,000 Berrys. Maybe you have fond memories of the strength of this crew, but they are nothing compared to Fisher or Jinbe , the former captains of the Sun Pirates. ☀️ Arlong is ultimately just a fish man like all the others with an "unbreakable nose" and teeth capable of regenerating. It is certain that his crew is not able to navigate the New World.
33. The Rumbar Pirates
The Rumbar Pirates come from the Waters of West Bleu . 🌊 The captain of this crew was Yorki the musician. It is important to note that while sailing the waters of West Blue, they befriended the famous whale Laboon on West Blue! 🐳 Following Yorki's serious illness, Brook was named Captain of Rumbar's crew, well before his meeting with the Mugiwara. Far be it from us to discredit this very friendly crew, it is however important to note that the primary quality of this crew was not their raw strength . Rather, it was a bunch of adorable musicians 🎻 who strived to bring smiles to children across this wide world with the help of their music. The captain and Brook were the only two members to deserve a wanted notice, so yes, their journey ends here :/
32. The Cook's Crew
The captain of The Cook's Pirates 👨🍳 is a former bandit known as Red-Footed Zeff. Zeff is now the chef of the restaurant ship named Baratie . Sanji's adoptive father was a real boss in the days before he became a chef. Zeff is one of the first pirates we meet who went to the Great Line and came back alive! 🦜And , if he hadn't given up his leg in an attempt to save Sanji, we suppose he would still be one of the Grand Line's most famous Pirates today. Note that Zeff is the man who instilled in Sanji that it was inconceivable that a man could hit a woman, regardless of the reason. Just like his adopted son, 👶 Zeff always dreamed of finding All Blue .
31. The Clown Pirates
The Clown Pirates are managed by their Captain , Shichibukai Buggy , 🤡 also known under the pseudonym Thousand Piece Clown. This nickname refers to his devil fruit, Bara Bara no mi, the fruit of fragmentation. Note also that this pirate is a former member of the famous Gol D. Roger Pirates. Like Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy has the ability to quickly surround himself with trusted pirates. He also created an Alliance with the Pirate Alvida of this ranking. 💍 Although the raw strength of this hero is quite weak, he nevertheless has a fairly large crew since his recent alliance with Alvida and therefore a large strike force.
30. Don Krieg's Pirate Armada
As you might expect, Don Krieg's Pirate Armada is managed by Don Krieg . Why Armada? Quite simply, because its fleet consisted of more than 50 combat ships and 5,000 men. 🛥️ This crew was stopped short by Corsair Captain Mihawk on the “route of all perils”. The only survivors were Don Krieg and the crew on his boat. However, the The rest of their adventures are not known! The total bounty for this pirate crew is at least 29,000,000 Berrys . 💰 Don Krieg's Pirates were quite weak overall, the only pirates besides the captain who stood out were Gyn and Pearl. Their primary strength lay within different weapon and armor technologies.
29. The Foxy Pirates
The Foxy Pirates are a crew made up of men from other crews. This crew is represented both by its atypical Captain, Foxy and by Davy Black Fight . 🕹️ A game in 3 rounds consisting of picking up the members of the opposing crew. Using this game, Foxy recovered more than 500 Pirates around the world. Monkey D. Luffy will become the man who will deprive Foxy of realizing his dream by winning his Jolly Roger 🏴☠️ during the Davy Black Fight events. The bonus for this crew is around 24,000,000 Berrys .
28. The Brownbeard Pirates
The Brownbeard Pirates are the pirate crew that took over Foodvalten Island 🏝️ following the death of Edward Newgate. This crew is strong enough to be able to navigate the waters of the New World. The bounty for this crew is at least 80,000,000 Berrys. 💰 We will remember that although Brownbeard is a secondary character in the Punk Hazard arc, he is nonetheless a pirate from the New World who succeeded in everything until he met Basil Hawkins .
27. The Giants Crew
The Équipage des Géants comes from Erbaf . The particularity of this crew is that all the members of it are giants and that it has not one, but two captains , Dorry and Broggy . 👑 They are also the first giants that we meet in the One Piece anime and Manga 📚 and they are also among the most formidable! Both the Blue Ogre and the Red Ogre were renowned at the time, with similar bounties of 100,000,000 Berry. A word of advice, don't underestimate the giants if you want to survive in this world.
26. The Flying Pirates Crew
The Flying Pirates navigate by an unconventional means. Failing to sail on the seas, they sail directly from the ocean floor. 🚢 Captain Vander Decken is a creep, a stalker and an idiot. He gets hit by Hody Jones , is rejected by Shirahoshi, and is stupid enough to eat a devil fruit even though he is a fishman and his natural habitat is water. 🌊 Note that the name of their crew comes from the famous Flying Dutchman. And that Vander Decken joined the New Fishmen crew. Not to mention that Wadatsumi was a sailor on this famous ship.
25. The New Age Crew
The New Age Pirates are managed by Captain Bellamy . This crew was allied with Doflamingo's crew before the latter's destruction by the Mugiwara. The New Age Pirates have a high bounty of 93,000,000 Berrys . Not many people know this, but Bellamy was once considered the Greatest Rookie 🥇 of all time thanks to his personal bonus of 55 Million Berrys. His devil fruit is the Bane Bane no Mi, it allows him to be a fast man mounted on a spring , but he will however be defeated by Luffy with a single punch. 👊
24. The Depraved Monk Crew
The Depraved Monks Pirates are led by Captain Urouge , a member of the Eleven Supernovae. The Jolly Roger of this crew represents the captain of this crew. The only known bounty of this crew is that of Urouge, it represents a sum of 108,000,000 Berrys. 💵 Let's now focus on this Pirate Captain, also known as the " Mad Monk ". Urouge is originally from Sky , and little information has been revealed regarding his devil fruit, but it seems that it allows him to absorb physical damage in order to strengthen himself! 💪 Urouge is definitely a next threat to the Straw Hat crew.
23. The Bonney Pirates
We discovered the Bonney Pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago. The Captain of this crew is the famous Jewelry Bonney, 💎 member of Onzesupernovae . This group of Pirates is however inactive, it was stopped by Akainu. The only survivor is Bonney with her bounty of 140,000,0000 Berrys. Jewelry Bonney is a mysterious pirate in every sense of the word! His Devil Fruit 🍈 is still unexplained, his past seems important, and his combat strength is unknown. But she is intelligent, resourceful, and can age anything she touches!
22. The Caribou Pirates
The Caribou Crew also has 2 captains on board! ⚓ The two captains are the brothers Caribou and Coribou . The particularity of this crew is that all the members look the same, they have a black hat 🎩 and a round face. The crew's total bounty is at least 400,000,000 Berrys. The Caribou brothers are scum. We do not know the intentions of this group of Pirates.
21. The New Fishman Crew
The New Fishman Pirate Crew resided on Fishman Island. 🦈 The captain of this Crew was the famous Hody Jones. Their captain's desire was to bring the Fishman race to the top of the hierarchy! This Crew has 100,000 men including 70,000 fish men. In conclusion, Hody Jones and his acolytes are a bunch of low-level racists to whom Oda has devoted far too much time! ⌛ The Steroids that the crew consumed allowed them to acquire powerful destructive force!
20. The Hawkins Pirates
The captain of The Hawkins Pirates is none other than Basil Hawkins himself. Hawkins is a powerful Devil Fruit user as well as a member of the Elevensupernovae . He possesses the Wara Wara No Mi, one of the strangest devil fruits, which allows him to create and control a powerful monster made of straw. Only Hawkins' bounty is known among his crew and it amounts to 320 Million Berrys. During the Wano Kuni arc, we learn that Hawkins has joined the Yonko Pirates, Kaido . 🐉
19. The Drake Pirates
The X-Drake Crew is made up of 4 members, however we only have information on X-Drake, the captain. 🦖 He is a former Navy officer who became a Pirate as well as a member of the Onzesupernoave. His Zoan-type Devil Fruit grants him the ability to transform into a powerful T-Rex. And if you think a T-rex wearing a face mask would look silly, you're right! However, X-Drake is one of the strongest of the Worst Generation , 🏋 and has a bounty of 222,000,000 Berrys.
18. The Fire Tank Crew
The Fire Tank Crew is a powerful pirate crew which also has a captain who is a member of the Elevensupernovae. Captain Capone Bege is one of our favorites. A mobster thrown into a pirate story who married one of Yonko Big Mom's daughters. His wife is none other than Chiffon, Big Mom's 22nd daughter 👶. Capone Bege has the ability to transform into a giant castle using his devil fruit, the Shiro Shiro no Mi 🏰 and has a bounty of 350,000,000 Berrys.
17. The On-Air Crew
The On-Air Crew is made up of many Pirates without qualms. The Captain's name is Scratchmen Apoo , he is a man from the "Long Arms" tribe. 🦾 Apoo has a bounty of 198,000,000 Berrys and also has an Alliance with 2 other members of the Supernovae, Eutass Kidd and Hawkins . This captain is, just like his crew, a rotten man who has no scruples about deceiving his alliance or his own crew. This Pirate is a fool who can extend his arms and transform his body parts into musical instruments. 🎺 However, he seems to have a certain strength!
16. Thriller Bark
Gecko Moria is the Captain of the pirate ship Thriller Bark, this ship is the largest existing in the world of One Piece. Its size is similar to that of a medium-sized island. 🏝️ According to our information, Thriller Bark contains the equivalent of 1000 men and zombies. In addition to being the captain of the largest pirate ship in the world, Gecko Moria is also a former Shichibukai. We consider that the members of his crew are quite powerful, they also hold 3 devil fruits . 🍈 His generals could defeat powerful opponents if the circumstances were right.
15. The Spade Crew
The Spade Pirates are the former crew of one of Luffy's big spiritual brothers, Portgas D. Ace ! 🔥 Quickly considered a super Rookie, he is approached by the famous Whitebeard who offers him to become his son. After seeing Whitebeard's superiority with his own eyes, Ace accepted his request and was named commander of Whitebeard 's second division. 🧙♂️ It is important to note that Ace refused to become a Shichibukai.
14. The Kuja Pirates
The Kuja Pirates are made up entirely of women from Amazon Lily. 🤼♀️ The Captain is none other than the Queen of the Amazons , the famous Shichibukai, Empress Boa Hancock. Unless her opponent is blind, an animal or a fool like Luffy, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock 🐍 is unstoppable. Her devil fruit, combined with her natural beauty, can stand up to any man in this world. Note that all the Amazons in this country are capable of using Haki, its crew is formidable!
13. The Sun Pirates
12. The Heart Pirates
The Heart Pirates are ruled by Trafalgar D. Water Law, 💊 an incredible Rookie from the Worst Generation. Law is a former privateer captain who lost his title following the alliance he created with Luffy. His crew's total bounty is over 500 Million Berry.
However, we regret the little information released on the different members of this crew! According to our sources, the Heart crew includes 11 Pirates including Bepo and Jean Bart . Unlike other pirate crews, the Heart crew uses not a boat, but a submarine to travel in the Waters 💦 of the New World.
11.The Straw Hat Grand Fleet
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is made up of 7 Captains who swore allegiance to Monkey D. Luffy 🐵 following their release from Doflamingo's grip. These powerful captains were all present at the Corrida Coliseum with the exception of the Tontatta tribe. There are big names like Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Sai, Ideo, Léo, Hajrudin and Orlumbus. It is difficult to estimate the total bounty of this crew, but it is more than 1 Billion Berrys and the fleet includes more than 5600 Pirates . 🏴☠️
10. The Don Quixote Pirates Doflamingo
The Doflamingo Don Quixote Pirates also known as the "Don Quixote Family" 👨👩👧👧 of Dressrosa is led by Doflamingo. A powerful Shichibukai and Haki user. This family would be one of the 20 families behind the development of the World Government . The bounty of this powerful family is estimated at more than a billion Berrys. Note that the Don Quixote crew was the crew with the most Devil Fruits , 12! 🍈
9. The Blackbeard Pirates
The Blackbeard Pirates are led by Marshall D. Teach, or Blackbeard . Under his command, there are now 10 Pirate fleets . Before becoming the captain of his own crew, Blackbeard was a Whitebeard pirate. Note that Blackbeard is the only Yonko to have proclaimed himself after killing Whitebeard. His bonus is 2,247,600,000 Berrys.
He is also the only Pirate ☠️ in this world to have two devil fruits in his possession! The Fruit of Darkness and the Fruit of Tremor. This is why he has the strength of a Yonko . Not to mention that his strength was already showing even before obtaining these fruits. Remember when he left red-headed Shanks with a permanent scar over his left eye? Additionally, his crew has only been getting better every day since Shiryu obtained the devil fruit from Absalom. ⚔️
8. The Hundred Beast Crew
The Hundred Beasts Crew 🐲 is the powerful crew of the Captain and Yonko, Kaido. This crew is currently based in the Wa countries. The crew's total bounty is estimated at more than 7.3 billion Berrys. Among the strongest Pirates of this crew, we find: the 3 calamities : Jack , Queen , and King 🦅 as well as members of the Supernovae like X. Drake, Hawkins and Apoo. Let's point out that Kaido's pirate crew has a large number of Zoan-type users!
7. The Golden Lion Pirates
The Golden Lion Pirates are a pirate crew captained by Shiki the Golden Lion . 🦁 Maybe this name doesn't mean anything to you, but know that 22 years before the start of One Piece, the Golden Lion crew had the largest naval fleet in the world . 🛳️ A brief description of Shiki is in order. Shiki has swords for legs, a steering wheel in his head, and a huge flying ship. His power comes from Fuwa Fuwa no Mi and allows him to levitate anything that is not alive!
6. The Straw Hat Pirates
The Straw Hat Pirates are a powerful crew of ten pirates. Among the different captains of the worst generation, Monkey D. Luffy is the Rookie 🤑 with the biggest bonus in this ranking. Luffy's bounty is 1.5 billion Berrys while that of his crew is more than 3 Billion. Although Luffy is a serious candidate to find One Piece , the protagonist still lacks strength 💪 and experience when it comes to facing the biggest names in this world. This is why it was inconceivable for us to put this crew at the top of our ranking!
5. The Big Mom Pirates
The Big Mom Pirates are managed by the Yonko, Charlotte Linlin . This powerful Yonko rules the nation of Totto Land and possesses the fruit of Soru Soru no Mi, the fruit of souls. This crew has a very high 💸 bounty of over 10 Billion Berrys. It is important to note that pirates wishing to join its crew must marry a son or daughter of the Charlotte Family. 💍 Its most powerful commanders are the sugary generals ! There we find Cracker, Smoothie and Katakuri. Little anecdote, did you know that Big Mom's largest boat, the Queen mama Chanter, is 20 times the size of the Thounsand Sunny?
4. The Whitebeard Pirates
The Whitebeard Pirates 🛥️ were during the era following the death of Gol D. Roger, the most powerful pirate crew present on the waters of the New World. Edward Newgate's fleet was divided into 16 divisions, each led by a commander. This crew had more than 47 allied crews. It is said of Whitebeard that he was the only man capable of rivaling the famous Roger . 💪 Before the Crew was disbanded upon Edward's death, Edward's bounty was 5,596,000,000 Berrys, a hell of a lot!
Not to mention that Edward was capable of destroying several islands by the sole strength of its fruit, Gura Gura no Mi ! He has also been referred to as the closest man to the One Piece 💎 with the exception of Roger.
3. The Rock Pirates
The Rocks Pirates are a legendary crew that was led by Rocks D. Xebec . This powerful Pirate crew had at the time the biggest names today like Big Mom, Kaido, 🐲 Whitebeard, and even Shiki . This Pirate crew represented the greatest threat that the World Government ⚓ has encountered in recent decades. The Rocks Pirates were therefore normally known as being the most powerful of all crews before the era of Gol D. Roger .
2. The Roux Crew
The Roux Pirates are certainly the most powerful pirate crew sailing the seas of the New World. This powerful crew also influenced two of the Mugiwara to become Pirates, Usopp 👃 and Luffy. Although we have known about this crew since the beginnings of One Piece, it is difficult to have a constructive opinion regarding their strength! It is also considered by Brandnew to be the most balanced pirate crew among the four Emperors.
He is also the only Yonko -owned crew that does not have a Devil Fruit user in its ranks. We do know, however, that Shanks is capable of stopping a war with his mere presence, that he is probably on equal footing with Whitebeard, and that he remains an undisputed emperor of the New World.
1. Gol D. Roger's Pirate Crew
Roger's Pirates are the only crew to have reached the island of Raftel, 🏝️ the last island on the road of all perils, but also the only crew to have discovered the famous One Piece . It is also thanks to Roger's death that a new era of Piracy was formed! There is no point telling you about the strength of this crew, you know all of the big names that it brings together like Douglas Bullet, Oden, Rayleight and Shanks . ☠️ As you suspected, we had to finish this ranking with the crew of the Lord of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger .
