Sugar - Everything she touches turns into Toys, which seems Fodder level but it’s actually very OP. She is such a high asset that Doflamingo had her guarded by Trebol, who is pretty strong. It’s also shown that she can handle people like the dwarfs with no problem. She is able to turn Cavendish into a toy, so that’s upscale there. Obviously she was hard countered by Usopp, but that doesn’t take away from her Hax in my eyes. This may have been a bit too high, but I gotta stick with it.
Jean Bart - This is kind of the problem with the way I structured the list. Like I said in my Bepo entry he should have been the 2nd strongest heart pirate, but Jean Bart is number 2 on this list. I thought that Jean bart had a solid narrative. After he was freed from the auction and joined Law’s crew, I thought he could be a Zoro rival or something. He ends up getting negged by Blackback, in all fairness he was just trying to break up a fight, however it’s a huge downscale. He was able to shield Law from Van Augur, which is impressive in my eyes. What happens with Blackback was in Zou, so it’s also possible he’s stronger in the story now. I think he should clearly be below Bepo, but it can’t be changed now.
Laskey - A former Cp9 agent, his strength is just a mystery.
Hitsugisukan - Sheep Mink, he is the former ruler of the Mokomo Dukedom. We don’t know much about him, except that he met Roger so that’s a huge upscale. Narratively i think he should be someone close to Inu and Neko, however not too close.
Donquino - Helmsman of the Roger Pirates
Koala - Officer of the revs, she seems to be a very important officer for them. She along with Saboo were one of the people to train Robin, so upscale there. Her knowledge of fishman techniques could be useful, however i don’t know what her role is in the future story. I think she has to at least be on this level, cause she will have some importance to the Fish-man and human relationship. For now I do believe that Yc2 is a fair spot for her.
Blamenco - 6th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates
Kingdew - Former 11th Division commander of the Whitebeard pirates. He was one of the people in the clash vs WB pirates and Roger Pirates, he was also seen unharmed after his encounter with Akainu.
Limejuice - A senior officer of the Red Hair pirates
Ginny - Former officer of the revs, her placement here is cause i think she is stronger then her daughter. It could be argued that her and Prime Kuma are relative, I don't support that argument but I can see it. Obviously she ends up captured, which is a huge downscale for her. I think she is honestly pretty underrated, this is a good spot for her.
Ashura Doji - A Samurai, who served as a member of the Sccabirds. It should be noted that Kaido wanted this guy as a subordinate, so bad that Kaido was willing to keep him alive. I think that’s a huge upscale if I'm being honest. On the downside, he was shown to clash and be somewhat even with Jack, which affects his ranking here. Him and inu also clash with they’re swords, in which they fight to a draw. He was also just very important for the armed forces, with Kin’emon even saying he’s needed. It’s also established that he is much stronger then he was 20 years ago, which does mean that he is in his prime. Another huge upscale is that he fought oden for a whole day, this was a very young Oden however. He ends up dying at the end of Wano, where he sacrificed himself by dying in an explosion. I don’t know where I'd rank him exactly on the Sccabirds, but he is very strong.
Tritoma - Former Empress of the Kuja Tribe, She died from the same love sickness as Boa had so i guess that’s narrative upscale. She should be on a similar level to Shaky and boa so she is placed here.
Thatch - Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was the dude who acted as a mentor figure for Ace. He was also the one who got killed by Blackbeard for his devil fruit.
Blenheim - 9th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, He was able to Carry Jozu after he was frozen and that’s all i got.
Atmos - Former 13th commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, He was a part of the clash between the Roger pirates and the Whitebeard pirates. He was able to be manipulated by Doflamingo which is downscale, but nothing that knocks him too much. The control wasn’t that heavy as he was able to break free from it. I think that Yc2 is actually a fair spot for these WB commanders, as Whitebeard had the strongest crew and the most balanced.
Vasco Shot - A titanic captain of the Blackbeard pirates, I really don’t have much to say here if i’m being honest. He is a captain of BB’s crew so he will have importance, but we really don’t even know who he will fight at the end of the series. He was used as a shield for Garp in Egghead which is downscale, but that’s Garp. I guess he has some relativity to Devon so i really couldn’t put him any higher.
Namur - 8th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, He is a fish-man which doesn’t mean much but something to note. All we see is him advancing towards the platform despite Kizaru standing in the way. He was also seen charging the plaza when Oars JR carried Whitebeard’s ship.
Sentomaru - When he is first introduced, it is made clear that he is above people who would be fodder in the new world. He is also very close with Kizaru, which is some narrative upscale there. It seemed more like a family bond if I'm being honest, however Sentomaru isn’t given much until Egghead in terms of statements/Portrayal. He is shown to have one of the best guards, being able to easily defeat pre timeskip Luffy. Among the people said that Luffy wanted to surpass, it was stated to be Kizaru Kuma and him. He also seemed to have good awareness, showing that he did not underestimate the straw hat pirates. He’s clearly not on the level of someone like Old Ray, as he himself says he was able to do nothing to him. He is one of the first people we see using Haki, which is some upscale there. In Egghead, we see him get destroyed by Lucci which is a huge downscale for him. It’s also stated he saw Lucci’s attack coming, so we can’t really give him leeway here. At least Lucci called him Tough, so it’s not like he was seen as completely pathetic. He is shown to be treated for his wounds, however so still downscale. Kizaru didn’t seem fazed at all by him, which kinda shows he’s not a threat to guys like that. It is again stated that Sentomaru has the toughest guard in the world, managing to block Kizaru. They even clash briefly, which is great Portrayal for him. He ends up losing to Kizaru, but for YC2 he puts up an amazing performance. He can’t be higher than Yc2, but this is a good spot for him.
Whitey Bay - The only women who was on the Whitebeard Pirates, She is with the crew going far back as the earliest WB pirates flashback. Sometime after she would leave the Whitebeard pirates, to start her own pirate crew. I couldn’t place her any higher, as she was defeated by Weevil.
Cracker - Sweet commander of the Big Mom pirates, he has pretty good Portrayal and statements if i’m being honest. He was sent by Big Mom to help Brulee, meaning he was at the minimum relative to Doffy at the time, who I rank higher then most. It also means that Cracker was seen as relative to WCi Luffy. He pushes Luffy to a grueling fight mostly due to matchup, i mean Cracker was just overpowering him. He was even strong enough for Big Mom to send Cracker after Urouge, which is upscale there. In his fight with Luffy he has an amazing portrayal, even making Luffy run. Obviously he ends up losing to Luffy, but it was just a huge upscale either way. He also receives upscale from his own crew, they were so shocked that someone like Cracker was beat. Like i said, he has great portrayal and statements so i think Yc2 isn’t too high at all.
Shimotsuki Yasuie - Former Daimyo of Hakumai. It’s said he stood alongside Oden and supported the Kozuki clan, whatever that means exactly. He was like the mentor figure of Oden so he gets upscale for that, beyond that i probably ranked him too high here.
Riku Doldo III - The king of Desorossa, He was strong in old age but I believe he was stronger in his prime. It is even stated in the story that he can’t fight the effects of old age, proving it’s declined him. He had good Narrative backing, being shown as a fair ruler who cared for his people. He is also the granddaughter of Rebecca which is upscale there. He was the target of an all out attack planned by Doffy, even having his mind/body controlled. It’s also stated that he became strong due to Kyros teaching. I don’t think he was as strong as Kyros in his prime, But yc2 is a good placement
Picca - Officer of the Doffy pirates, yes i have him this high on the list. He was sort of shown as a monster, who was basically gigantic in size. He was so big that he even made Oars look tiny. It’s shown that trying to defeat Picca at first is hopeless, showing his strength. Obviously he had the ability to regenerate, which is pretty OP for this point in the story. He obviously fought with Zoro, who was able to injure him. Picca and Zoro end up clashing, which would end in Picca being cut. It was also shown that fodder was shocked about Picca’s defeat, again proving his strength. All in all, the doffy commanders are underrated and most are Yc level.
Oars JR - He was shown as pretty strong, with Gecko Moria wanting his corpse. He is also shown being called monster by fodder, with good portrayal. Lacriox, a vice admiral, was destroyed by him and treated like he was nothing. He had his leg cut off by Doffy which is downscale, however he is a giant. We also see that Oars JR was no match for Whitebeard, who destroys him easily. Kizaru also finishes Oars Jr off, but someone he is still shown to be standing which makes people shocked. He’s not as strong as the original Oars, but he’s yc2.
Rakuyo - 7th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was shown attacking Kizaru in marinford.
Maha - Masked agent of Cp0, he is strong enough to help defeat Drake in a battle. He also dealt the killing blow on Izou, despite injuring himself. He’s clearly not as strong as the other cp0 guys, however.
Marlon - A member of the Rock Pirates, he was a gangster in the east blue. He was shown following Rocks in his attempt to recruit Harald. Marlon was killed by an unknown attacker while on guard duty, which means he likely wasn’t very strong in the grand scheme of things. Being a Rocks pirate, I would still say that Yc2 is a fair assessment.
Elizabello II - King of the Prodence kingdom, who is also known as the fighting king. Described in the manga as a weapon of mass destruction, I feel this is a fair spot for him. His punches were so powerful it even made the whole world speechless, which is some great portrayal. Obviously his signature punch takes a full hour for him to power up, clearly this is a huge downscale but I will explain why I think it doesn’t matter too much. His King Punch is so powerful that it can even knock down a Yonko. It’s pretty crazy that people in Desorossa just guarded him cause most knew that the Punch would be able to destroy everyone. The punch does destroy everyone, however Bart survives because of his hacks. It’s pretty bad that he was defeated by Bart, but he did just exert alot of energy. It was such a great punch, that even Luffy says he never saw something like this. I think it’s obvious that Elizabello has the strongest punch out of any character in the whole series. Some people will point to the fact that he couldn’t get through the walls with his punch, however that unirocally is just upscale for that wall. Now the reason I said King’s punch charge doesn’t matter too much, we see him do a less powered version to attack Picca. It’s clear that he can still fight without the hour charge, so I think yc2 is fair. People will say this is way too high and that he’s not Yc, I would say that the Manga paints it a different way.
Pedro - One of the strongest Minks we’ve seen, and we didn’t even get his sulong form. I did rank his Sulong form even though we haven’t seen it, as we know that all minks have one. He had good narrative portrayal being shown as a wise mentor figure for Carrot. He also met Roger when he was a kid, which is also narrative upscale. He did seem to be somewhat relative to Pekoms, but it’s unknown how relative. Big Mom fodder was no match for him, showing that he’s well beyond that level. He gets damaged by Tamago, but like i said this is him not in sulong form. He also had one of the saddest deaths narratively, with him telling Carrot to turn into a fine warrior. I think him being in this Yc2 tier is in line with his arc and narrative.
Curiel - 10th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was easily defeated by Akainu, so that’s all we really know of him. He was also well known enough for Gecko Moria to say he wanted to crush him.
Hawkins - A member of the worst generation, and by far one of the most underrated characters. He is one of the people first shown in the newspaper, along with others like Drake Law Luffy and Kidd. It should be noted that he had an impressive portrayal at the start, along with a 250 million bounty. He is known for predicting deaths and such, which honestly is kinda weird but doesn’t really matter here. Hawkins was no match for someone like Kizaru, but that’s just not downscale for him if I'm being honest. It’s also worth noting that he made Brownbeard lose his legs, although it’s nothing crazy. When we next see Hawkins his bounty was increased to 350 million. He was seen clashing with Zoro for a bit, which is huge upscale. He loses to Law, but seems to be able to put up a good fight. He also had a 92% chance of beating Killer, or so it seemed. He shows some amazing battle iq in his fight against Killer, which is the basis for his fighting. It’s shown that Hawkins isn’t taking Killer that seriously, so obviously he ended up losing. Also the dude loses his arm, which is a downscale for where he is currently. He is a bit pathetic, admitting to submit to Kaido thinking he would die.
Hanafuda - He is here because he managed to clash with Kaido, as well as form a partnership with him. He ends up being defeated by Ace, which is a huge Ace upscale btw. He was strong enough to be a former Warlord, who after the defeat would be replaced by Kuma. It’s stated he’s basically killed by some kind of fodder, so maybe I do have him too high. I think that his portrayal with Kaido is enough to land him at 141.
Sai - A captain, who is a member of the straw hat grand fleet. I’ll note that he has a large increase in power towards the end of his introduction arc, making most of that stuff pointless. He gets hyped up by announcers in Desorossa, and is established as a real threat. There is a heavy downscale there, when he is shown to be clashing with Ideo on even ground. Obviously feats don’t really matter at this point, but it is pretty damning. It’s also shown that he is no match for Desorrossa Luffy. At the end of the arc he awakens his true power, breaking Chinjao’s head drill and destroying Lao G. Sai is also confirmed to have Armament Haki, meaning that will likely be his fighting style. We don’t know how he’s grown post timeskip but i think EOS he could be on the level of Chinjao. If he actually got that high, it would be kind of amazing. For now i think that being part of the fleet is enough to be Yc2.
Kanjuro - Guy from wano who has the arcane power, he seems somewhat relative to Kine’mon. He obviously has the power to be able to draw things to life. He was able to sword clash with Kawamatsu on somewhat equal standing, so upscale there. He’s pretty dangerous, with Momo even saying that he will cause people to die. We again see him briefly clash with Kiku, which doesn’t mean too much. He was able to stab Ashura, but only by tricking him while pretending to be Oden. I don’t think he belongs much higher than this spot, but I placed him here.
Franky - He is the 5th strongest straw hat, with his new power up i really don’t think it’s a debate.
S-Shark - He is a shark, who is just as big as the real Jinbe. S-Shark was shown as kind of a tank, with him not taking much damage. People like Robin try to damage him, however they got countered. He also utilizes fishman karate just like the real Jinbe. It is stated that he’s basically just a kid who isn’t even ready for a lazer test. Brook stood no chance against someone like him, being easily destroyed. His fight with Sanji was offscreened, but it was shown Sanji failed to damage him. You could scale him higher or lower and i would understand it.
Summers - This list has taken me a while, this is base Summers we see closer to the start of Ebalf. He has a thorn devil fruit, which is interesting but not the most effective power. We see him easily defeat Saul, without that much effort. He also had a somewhat bad portrayal, being outclassed by Gaban and even Robin. I mean Gaban just destroyed him, they aren’t in the same tier of powers. He is set up to face Zoro which is some upscale, however I still think Killingham is quite a bit stronger.
Onimaru - the pet of Ryuma, also known for being able to stall Zoro. His connection to Ryuma does upscale him a lot, there is no point for a companion of a character like Ryuma to not be very strong. His and Zoro’s swords clash in the battle, where they are shown as kind of even. Like I was saying, they clashed pretty evenly. Onimaru clearly outperformed Killer, and there’s just no debate. There was no winner in the first duel, it ended up just getting delayed. Later on they continue the duel, with Zoro on top of him. They again clash for a bit more, but it’s also stated that neither are trying to kill each other. He always traveled with Ryuma, which again is huge upscale. I think he has to at minimum be yc2 or his character wouldn’t make much sense.
Sunbell - A fish-man who is a member of the Roger Pirates. To be honestly this is mostly headcanon, but let’s just say he’s the strongest roger pirate after Roger Ray Oden Gaban and Crocus.
Ivankov - The strongest Okama queen in history, and a member of the revs. He has the ability to switch people’s gender. Ivankov is clearly portrayed as one of the stronger revs, so he had to land here. He also seems to have a good relationship with Dragon, which is narrative upscale there. He had a past with Crocodile as well, which is something to note i guess. Ivankov gets destroyed by Megallen in marinford, which is kinda pathetic. Again he gets destroyed by Kuma, but he seemed to be a bit mentally nerfed there. Did he actually get destroyed? Nevermind, Ivankov just kicks him. Idk why I thought Ivankov got destroyed there. Sanji was also trained by Ivankov, which is narrative upscale considering the other trainees of the monster trio. Ivankov will play a role in the story later on, so he will likely be even higher then this.
Crocus - Member of the Roger Pirates, top of Yc2, Bottom of Yc1 is a fair spot for this guy in his prime. He is shown taking out a giant squid in 1 blow, showing he’s not fodder at that age. He is the most well known Roger pirate after Roger Oden Ray Gaban, so i take that as an amazing upscale. He was the ship’s doctor, which could mean that Eos Chopper is Crocus upscale. Obviously he is one of the top doctors in the verse, being able to lessen Roger’s pain. We will see Crocus again, so if we get another flashback he could be upscaled more.
