Facing strong villains is not over for Luffy yet.
Luffy has fought so many battles that he himself wouldn’t remember every single one of them. But these powerful villains faced by Luffy in One Piece were too strong for him to handle at one point.
Throughout his journey as a pirate, Luffy has achieved so much in his life and made so many trustworthy friends. But when it comes to his foes, the list is even a lengthy one. There’s no count to the number of villains Luffy has battled till now, but some of them were too strong to forget. Let’s remember those villains who made our One Piece journey a memorable one.
Strongest Villains Faced By Luffy In One Piece
5. Crocodile
One of the main characters of the Alabasta arc, Crocodile, is one of the strongest and the smartest villains Luffy and his teammates had to face. Luffy’s fight with Crocodile was a long one. Crocodile defeated him over and over again, but then with his sheer will and after crossing his own limits, Luffy finally managed to crush Crocodile. As he eats the logia class Devil Fruit and Sand-Sand Fruit, he can turn himself into the sand and also others by touching them with his right hand after sucking moisture out of them.
4. Donquixote Doflamingo
Donquixote Doflamingo, well known as the Heavenly Yaksha, is the captain of Donquixote pirate and one of the few people who Luffy had a hard time defeating. When Donquixote was a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had a frozen bounty of 340,000,000 on his head. As he ate the String-String Fruit, Donquixote Doflamingo had full control over strings. Moreover, with his Parasyte technique, he can control others even if they resist. His other powers include slashing objects quickly, creating his clones called Black Knight, and a rare power called “Awakening,” using which he can use nearby buildings to his advantage by turning them into strings.
3. Black Beard
Marshall D. Teach has appeared in multiple arcs of One Piece. He was the main antagonist of Summit War Saga, Impel Down Arc, and one of the antagonists of Marineford Arc. Black Beard is the Admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates. Earlier, he was a member of the Whitebeard’s crew, but then he betrayed him by killing one of the group members and stealing Yami Yami no Mi. He is the only known person to possess the powers of two Devil Fruits. Using the power of Dark Dark Fruit, he can control the powers of darkness and nullify the effect of any other Devil Fruit. By using the power of Tremor Tremor Fruit, Black Beard can generate earthquakes.
2. Big Mom
Finally, coming to Big Mom, the most powerful villain faced by Luffy so far. Charlotte Linlin, known as Big Mom, is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, and she is one of the Four Emperors ruling the New World. She is the queen of the Totto Land and her powerful crew consists of her large family which consists of her 43 husbands, 39 daughters, and 46 sons. Her Soru Soru no Mi Devil Fruit gives her the ability to use the animals and non-living objects as her army. She created her own army known as Homies using this ability.
1. Kaidou
With his immense physical strength and supernatural abilities, Kaidou is one of the most potent villains Luffy ever faced. Kaidou is also known as the “Strongest Creature,” and he’s one of the Four Emperors ruling the New World. He is the main villain of the Wano Country Arc, where we first see his battle against Luffy. Possessing the power of the Uo Uo no Mi Devil Fruit, Kaidou can transform himself into Azure Dragon and also a human-dragon hybrid. In his dragon form, Kaidou can create Flame Clouds, which can lift things up in the air. He can also release fire, thunderbolts, and the intense gaze of winds.
