On its 20-year journey of development, One Piece welcomed many characters possessing extremely terrible power. So many fans wonder who is the strongest character in One Piece , is that person Luffy?
Former Admiral Aokiji Kuzan
Strengths: Devil Fruit, Haki, Physical Strength
Kuzan is a former Admiral of the navy and a man with an extremely strong sense of honor. He promised not to attack the Straw Hats after fighting Luffy 1-1 and always kept that promise. Kuzan was disgusted with Sakazuki's (Akainu's) brutal actions, so after a duel and losing, he would rather resign than be under Akainu's command.

After leaving the Navy, Kuzan wandered around the New World and then joined the Blackbeard Pirates, becoming one of the 10 captains of the Yonko crew.
Kuzan was trained by Garp, so he has quite outstanding overall strength. He also possesses the Hie Hie no Mi devil fruit, which has the ability to create and control ice at will. His most impressive scene is not the fighting scene or showing off his strength, but rather riding a bicycle on the sea surface, where the sea freezes wherever he goes. Kuzan was even voted as the 25th most popular character in One Piece because of his personality and strength.
The scene is somewhat humorous but shows off Kuzan's abilities
Monkey D. Garp
Strengths: Haki, Inhuman physical abilities
Monkey D. Garp is an extremely famous navy vice admiral. He is also the grandfather of the main character of the anime One Piece: Luffy. Garp has extraordinary physical strength and even though he is only a Vice Admiral, he is stronger than most other marines.

The Five Elders
Strengths: Devil Fruit, Immortality (Possible)
The Five Elder Stars, also known as Gorosei, are a group of 5 old men who possess supreme power. They are the leaders of the World Government and rule the entire world. Their mission is to observe surrounding fluctuations to ensure that the world's balance of power is not distorted.
Up until now, none of the Five Old Stars have participated in the battle, so many fans are curious whether they are really strong enough to hold their current position? However, recently in the manga, one of the five elders went to Egghead Island, which was about to become a war zone. This place gathers the most famous and powerful people, so there is no way a weak person would dare to come here. Furthermore, to climb to their current position, Hobiverse firmly believes that they had to go through many bloody and windy battles.

Dracule Mihawk
Strengths: Swordsmanship, Haki
Dracule Mihawk (Hawk Eye) was once one of the Shichibukai - the most notorious pirates allied with the World Government. However, after this system was abolished, he was once again wanted. Mihawk holds the title of "World's Strongest Swordsman" and is one of the few characters to possess the Ultimate Great Treasure Sword.
Mihawk once faced off against Red-Haired Shanks, the battle between the two even caused the entire Grand Line to shake. Mihawk possesses many achievements, he was also famous as "Pirate Hunter" and was wanted with a bounty of up to 3.6 billion Berries.

In addition to his "divine" sword skills, Mihawk also has the ability to use high levels of Observation Haki and Armament Haki. It is said that nothing can escape the sight of “Hawk Eye”, because his observation Haki is extremely magical. which is an obvious nod to his Kenbunshoku Haki. So far, no character has been able to test Mihawk's power, but it may not be long before he is challenged by his student.
Monkey D. Dragon
Strengths: Devil Fruit (possible), Haki
Monkey D. Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. No one knows why he founded the Revolutionary Army when his father was in the Navy, but many fans believe that he has some insight into his tricks and wrongdoings. about the World Government's wrongdoings, that's why I want to stand up against them.
Although the One Piece anime has gone on quite a long time, Dragon has not really participated in any important battles, so it is difficult to accurately assess his strength. Many details in the manga imply that Dragon's abilities are comparable to those of a Fleet Admiral/Yonko commander.

Akainu
Strengths: Haki, Devil Fruit, Resilience
Akainu became Admiral of the Marines after defeating Aokiji at Punk Hazard. He believes in something called Absolute Justice, and is willing to go anywhere in the world to ensure justice is served. Because of his extreme actions, Kuzan called him "stupid" many times.
Akainu ate the Magu Magu no Mi, a type of devil fruit that allows him to create and control magma. It's no exaggeration to call it the devil fruit with the most powerful attack power. He was able to withstand many attacks from Whitebeard, proving how formidable his strength is.

Black beard
Strengths: Many devil fruits, Haki
Considered by many to be the ultimate villain in the series, Blackbeard is certainly one of the strongest characters in One Piece . He is the only person to possess two devil fruits.
The first is the Yami Yami no Mi, a logia-type devil fruit that allows him to negate the effects of other devil fruits and manipulate darkness. His second Devil Fruit is the Gura Gura no Mi with which he can create earthquakes anywhere. The second devil fruit increased Blackbeard's power, said to be a power that could destroy the whole world.

Red-Haired Shanks
Strength: Conqueror's Haki
Shanks is the leader of the Red Hair Pirates. To date, he is the only known Yonko without a devil fruit. Shanks only uses his Haki to fight opponents. Of course, he uses Haki so proficiently that he is invincible.
Shanks' true strength is still unknown, but considering he was able to stop characters like Kaido and Akainu without any problems, there can be no doubt about Shanks' abilities.
Shanks once demonstrated some of the power of Conqueror's Haki and scared Ryokugyu. In the movie One Piece Film: Red, Shanks used his Haki to blow away all the marines, leaving only the Admirals standing, this proves that his power is truly formidable.

Imu (Im-sama)
Strength: Haki
Imu is the head of the World Government and arguably the strongest character in One Piece . Imu is extremely mysterious, no one yet knows whether he possesses powers or has eaten a devil fruit. However, it seems that Imu possesses some kind of ability/weapon that allows him to destroy the Kingdom of Lulusia almost instantly.
Furthermore, Imu was able to sit on a throne that the 19 founding monarchs of the World Government never sat on. His strength as well as his gender are still a secret for now. However, a character who can make the Five Elder Stars bow their heads and call Im-sama must have extremely terrifying power.
