Led by the notorious Blackbeard himself, his crew is known for their cunning tactics. But don’t be fooled by their intimidating reputation because the unit also has some of the quirkiest characters in the series.
Blackbeard is one of the strongest characters in One Piece, but how do his crewmates compare? With former Marine Admiral Kuzan, and beauties like Tori and Maki, the Blackbeard Pirates have a diverse cast.
Here’s a list of all confirmed crew members of Blackbeard Pirates, ranked by strength. So, are you ready to dive into the world of the most infamous raiders to ever sail the Grand Line?
15Tori
Tori is a blonde girl in One Piece who always has a bottle of alcohol in each hand! She sat on a couch with Blackbeard, Maki, and Kikipatsu while he talked with Gecko Moria.
She chugs down bottles of alcohol quickly without even flinching and somehow manages to maintain her composure.
14Maki
Maki is this gorgeous young woman who was seen being amused watching Gecko Moria fight with her crewmates.
Maki has a thing for cozying up to Blackbeard, the admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates. Not much information is known about her yet, as she didn’t get much screen time.
13Kikipatsu
Kikipatsu always wears a bandana, vest, and suspenders, and he’s always sitting right next to Blackbeard, looking all carefree and happy.
Kikipatsu is a round, middle-aged guy with a massive nose and a fluffy, blond beard that reminds me of cotton candy. He loves plum beer, but every time he drinks it, his nose turns all red.
12Stronger
Stronger is super loyal to Doc Q and always carries him around, even during fights.
Stronger is Doc Q’s horse, and he’s got the Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus devil fruit which lets him transform into a Pegasus and fly. Even though he’s always sick, he has some serious strength and can run very fast.
11Doc Q
He has a pretty cool nickname – “Death God” – because he looks like the grim reaper with his scythe and a sick horse.
Doc Q is a talented medic and chemist. He ate the Shiku Shiku no Mi devil fruit, which allowed him to spread diseases to people.
10Vasco Shot
Whenever we see Vasco Shot, he’s always got a bottle of booze in his hand, hence the nickname.
Vasco Shot is the captain of the eighth ship in the Blackbeard crew. He even went to Amazon Lily with the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates, but he was easily defeated by Hancock.
9Sanjuan Wolf
He is called the Colossal Battleship as he is so huge that even the other giants look tiny next to him!
Sanjuan Wolf is the captain of the seventh ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. He’s the only giant who has eaten a devil fruit. His crimes were so bad that the marines had to erase the records to cover it up.
8Catarina Devon
Catarina is the captain of their sixth ship, and she is also known as the Crescent Moon Hunter.
Catarina Devon ate the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune fruit, which lets her transform into a nine-tailed fox. She is also capable of impersonating anyone in the world.
7Laffitte
Laffitte was notorious for being the “Demon Sheriff” due to his cruel ways as a sheriff in West Blue, which eventually got him banished.
Laffitte is the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates. It’s been hinted that he might have a devil fruit power that allows him to sprout wings. One time he even hypnotized marines to open the Gates of Justice.
6Avalo Pizarro
Pizarro used to be a king in the North Blue but was given a life sentence in Impel Down for his oppressive rule.
Avalo Pizarro is the titanic captain of the fourth ship. He is one of the most wanted criminals in the world, which means he must be pretty strong.
5Van Augur
Augur is one of the crew’s founding members and leads the third ship as their sniper.
Van Augur uses his Wapu Wapu no Mi fruit to teleport himself and others to any location he wants. People even call him “Supersonic” because of how good he is!
4Jesus Burgess
Burgess is the captain of the first ship. He’s one of the original members of the crew, and he’s incredibly loyal to Blackbeard.
Jesus Burgess ate the Riki Riki no Mi, a Paramecia-type devil fruit that gives him superhuman strength. He is also proficient in two forms of Haki, which he combines with his incredible physical power and size.
And when I say superhuman, I mean he can literally lift mountains! In fact, he once lifted a mountain and threw it at the Heart Pirates.
3Shiryu
Before joining Blackbeard, Shiryu was the head jailer in Impel Down. But he went too far with his torture and killing of prisoners and became a level 6 prisoner himself.
Shiryu has the Suke Suke no Mi devil fruit, which makes him invisible. On top of that, he’s a wicked swordsman. He’s the captain of the second ship and protects Blackbeard himself.
2Kuzan Aokiji
Kuzan was ranked with his fellow admirals as the “Greatest Military Power” – that alone should tell you how strong he is.
Kuzan’s devil fruit power is no joke – the Hie Hie no Mi fruit lets him create ice and even freeze the sea. Having the ability to use two forms of haki, he proves to be a valuable addition to the Blackbeard Pirates.
Although we never got to see it, his ten-day-long duel with Akainu, one of the most formidable opponents in the series, is a testament to his strength.
1Blackbeard
With his two devil fruit powers and two types of Haki, Blackbeard is the strongest in his crew. His Gura Gura no Mi fruit creates shock waves that can wipe out entire islands. Plus, he can cancel out the powers of other devil fruit users using the Yami Yami no Mi.
He used to be a part of the Whitebeard Pirates before he killed Thatch and grabbed the Yami Yami no Mi, and turned into the fantastic antagonist we all love to hate.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!
Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
