One Piecehas been around for over two decades, and it is as popular as it has ever been. People loveOne Piecebecause of its detailed and emotional storytelling, and it helps that the series also has a ton of well-written characters. Most of these characters are pirates, and the New World portion of the Grand Line is dominated by four captains—who are known as the Yonko.
Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks were the Yonko at the start of the series, but the group now consists of Shanks, Luffy, Blackbeard, and Buggy. With the exception of Buggy, each Yonko has been incredibly powerful, and their subordinates are also quite strong. Many of these subordinates can use multiple types of Haki, and a good number of them have strong Devil Fruit powers at their disposal.
Updated on July 19, 2025 by George Voutiritsas:The Yonko are supposed to be the four strongest pirate captains in the New World, and their crews are comprised of strong and capable commanders and affiliates. Many of these individuals are able to use some form of Haki, but they also tend to have some type of Devil Fruit power. These Devil Fruit users are all well-known individuals, and most of them have high bounties. Shanks presumably does not have any Devil Fruit users on his crew, whereas Whitebeard and Luffy had several. Blackbeard, Buggy, Kaido, and Big Mom on the other hand surrounded themselves with Devil Fruit users.

When it comes to combat, she usually sprouts multiple arms on her opponents' bodies and uses them ro snap their bones. She can create clones of herself, and she can sprout gigantic limbs which she can use to slam or stomp enemies. Robin’s ability is great for taking out multiple enemies at once.
