One Piece is set in a world filled with hundreds of pirate crews, many of which are made up of strong individuals who use Devil Fruit powers and/or multiple forms of Haki. The Marines are meant to protect the world from these pirates, but even they cannot deal with the strength of the Four Pirate Emperors who control large portions of the New World. That is why the World Government decided to form a group called the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This group consisted of notorious pirates with relatively high bounties, and they all agreed to serve the World Government in exchange for immunity. These Warlords were meant to keep the world in balance, and there are quite a few pirates who could have easily joined the group.
10 Eustass Kid Is Vicious & Has No Problem Attacking The Four Emperors
His savagery has earned him a bounty of 470 million Beri, but what really makes him a Warlord-caliber pirate is the fact that he isn’t afraid to take on an Emperor. He lost an arm when he attacked Shanks, and he later survived an encounter with Kaido.
9 Urouge Is Capable Of Taking On Emperor Commanders
The captain of the Fallen Monk Pirates, Urouge came from a sky island, and he has made a name for himself as a member of the “Worst Generation.” He possesses a Devil Fruit which converts any damage he suffers into physical strength.
This power allowed him to beat Big Mom’s son, who was considered to be one of the strongest members of her crew, and also allowed him to take on the Pacifista human weapons that were developed by the Marines.
8 Capone Bege’s Devil Fruit Offers The Marines A Literal Living Fortress
Capone Bege is not considered to be one of the series’ most defensive characters, but he should be since he possesses the Castle-Castle Fruit. This Devil Fruit turns him into a living fortress, with his body is equipped with cannons. It also allows him to hide his crew and subordinates inside his body.
He can even turn his body into a massive golem, which means that he has the ability to offer the Marines a secure defensive structure and position if another conflict like Marineford were to occur.
7 Hawkins’ Voodoo Powers Make Him A Feared Pirate
Basil Hawkins is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 320 million Beri. He ate the Straw-Straw Fruit, and he can now create and manipulate straw into weaponry and armor. Though Hawkins could afford to train harder, what would make him a truly feared Warlord is an ability he already possesses: he can create straw voodoo dolls. When he chooses a victim, he can transfer any physical damage intended for him to a doll, and his victim will then sustain that damage.
6 Apoo Would Join So He Could Be An Informant
Scratchman Apoo is the captain of the On Air Pirates, and he has managed to amass a bounty of 350 million Beri. Like the other members of the “Worst Generation,” Apoo is fairly strong, and his Devil Fruit gives him the ability to morph his body parts into musical instruments.
The music produced by these instruments can hypnotize his opponents and cause them physical injuries, and these effects are practically unavoidable. Apoo works as Kaido’s informant, and when Doflamingo had his Warlord title revoked, Apoo could have easily applied for the vacant position in order to feed the Emperor vital intelligence.
5 Jack Could’ve Easily Replaced Jinbe
Jinbe is a strong and respected pirate, and he was arguably the strongest Warlord other than Mihawk and possibly Doflamingo. When Jinbe resigned, he left a massive hole in the group – one that could have easily been filled by Jack, a vicious member of Kaido’s crew who has a bounty of 1 billion Beri.
Like Jinbe, Jack is a Fishman, but he is a massive warrior who can transform into a mammoth thanks to his Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. Jack led his forces against the Mink tribe on Zou for several days, and he managed to destroy large portions of the city by himself.
4 Rayleigh Was The Right Hand Of The Pirate King
Gol D. Roger eventually become Pirate King, and he accomplished this by having Silvers Rayleigh by his side the entire time. Rayleigh is a legend, and he is one of the strongest characters in the series despite not having a Devil Fruit power of his own.
He is a skilled swordsman who has mastered all three forms of Haki. Rayleigh is strong enough to take on a Marine Admiral without breaking a sweat, and other pirates either fear or respect him too much to attack him.
3 Katakuri’s Devil Fruit & Haki Would Guarantee Him A Position
There are several One Piece villains who have no redeeming qualities, but Charlotte Katakuri is not one of them. Katakuri is considered to be the strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates aside from Big Mom herself, and if he was a Warlord, he would dominate other pirates because of his Devil Fruit and Haki.
His Fruit allows him to create, control and manipulate mochi, and he can use this power to create multiple arms that he can infuse with Armament Haki. His Observation Haki is also incredibly powerful, as he can use it to actually see a bit into the future.
2 Ace Had Been Offered The Position
Ace died at Marineford, but he is still one of the series’ most likeable characters. He is the son of Gol D. Roger, and like his father, he captained his own crew. The Spade Pirates were eventually integrated into the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace went on to become one of the legendary pirates’ top commanders.
Ace could use Armament and Conquerors Haki as well as possessing the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, a Logia-type Fruit which let him create, manipulate, and transform into fire. He was actually offered a Warlord position while he captained the Spade Pirates, but he refused it. This means that the Marines and World Government already believed in his strength.
1 Kaido Would Have Been The World Government’s Strongest Weapon
There are certain characters who are way too powerful, and Kaido is arguably at the top of that list. The captain of the Beast Pirates is considered to be the strongest creature in the world, which makes sense since his Devil Fruit allows him to transform into a massive azure dragon.
Kaido is a merciless pirate with a bounty of more than 4.5 billion Beri, and he has ruled over Wano with an iron fist for years. He possesses superhuman strength and durability, and his mastery of Conquerors Haki makes his body almost indestructible. If the position was offered to him, and he decided to accept it, he would instantly become the Marines’ greatest weapon.
