It is said that there are as many stars in the sky as there are characters in One Piece. However, the lack of strong female characters is quite visible and is widely discussed in the One Piece community. Compared to the male characters, the presence of well-defined female counterparts is rare.
That said, even if they are rare, the strongest females in One Piece are strong enough to easily take out a dozen strong male characters if they want to. That is why I have written this listicle to discuss these rare yet formidable female characters with you.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the list of top 10 strongest female characters in One Piece.
10Belo Betty
Devil Fruit: Pump-Pump Fruit/ Kobu Kobu no Mi (Paramecia Type)
Belo Betty is a member of the Revolutionary Army and serves as the commander of the East Army. Her strength comes in influencing people around her to join in the uprising against the World Government using her devil fruit powers.
That way, not only does she gather the numbers, but she also uses their latent physical strength when necessary. For an organization like the Revolutionary Army, Belo Betty is irreplaceable and a major nuisance to the World Government.
9Yamato
Devil Fruit: Dog-Dog Fruit/ Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami (Mythical Zoan Type)
Yamato is one of the very few characters in One Piece to be able to use all three types of Haki. Despite being Kaido’s daughter, Yamato’s physical strength and agility are believed to be nearly equal to Kaido but due to his lack of experience, he doesn’t quite cross the finish line.
However, that doesn’t mean that anyone can defeat Yamato. Besides all this, Yamato idolizes Oden and wants to walk in his path to protect Wano, more so after Kaido’s defeat which made the country vulnerable to outside invasions.
8Stussy
Stussy of CP0 is the first successful clone of MADS, modeled after the former member of the Rocks Pirates, Buckingham Stussy. Stussy is an undercover agent for Vegapunk, who climbed the ranks of the underworld, soon becoming one of its emperors.
As a member of CP0, or former CP0 to be exact, Stussy has mastered the Rokushiki martial arts used by the CP0 members. Besides being able to use Armament and Observation Haki, Stussy’s willpower is strong enough to withstand Big Mom’s Conqueror’s Haki despite being a clone.
7Black Maria
Devil Fruit: Spider-Spider Fruit/ Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli (Ancient Zoan Type)
Black Maria is one of the Tobiroppo, with the potential to challenge an All-Star for a position with the likes of Queen, Jack, and King. Despite that, she finds it entertaining to spend her time in the Pleasure Hall.
Black Maria is a formidable opponent who can use the Armament and Observation Haki but never used them. Instead, she became overdependent on physical weapons and her devil fruit powers, leading to her defeat at the hands of Nico Robin.
6Nico Robin
Devil Fruit: Flower-Flower Fruit/ Hana Hana no Mi (Paramecia Type)
Unlike most other characters on this list, Nico Robin’s strength is her knowledge. But lately, she has been proving her fighting prowess as well.
As one of the only two people in the world able to read and decipher the Poneglyps, Robin has been running from the World Government since childhood until she found her home with the Straw Hats. She has also proven her worth as a fighter in Wano by defeating Black Maria, who’s on par with Ulti in terms of strength.
5Ulti
Devil Fruit: Dragon-Dragon Fruit/ Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus (Ancient Zoan Type)
Ulti is one of the Tobiroppo and has become a serious contender to Luffy for the title of the strongest headbutt in One Piece. During Wano Arc, her physical prowess was so much so that she held Luffy back and made him consider transforming into Gear 4 to survive Ulti’s physical attacks.
Like Black Maria, she’s also a user of Ancient Zoan type devil fruit. But unlike her crewmate, Ulti is a proficient Armament Haki user and uses Observation Haki as her radar to find enemies.
4Charlotte Smoothie
Devil Fruit: Wring-Wring Fruit/ Shibo Shibo no Mi (Paramecia Type)
Charlotte Smoothie is Big Mom’s 14th daughter and the major antagonist of the Whole Cake Island Arc. Unlike smoothie – the beverage, she is quite unhealthy for her enemies.
Her strength is proven by her being the only female among the Three Sweet Commanders of Big Mom Pirates, holding the highest authority second to her mother. Her physical prowess is often compared to Katakuri, which should be enough to justify her place in this list of strongest female characters in One Piece.
3Boa Hancock
Devil Fruit: Love-Love Fruit/ Mero Mero no Mi (Paramecia Type)
After being kidnapped and enslaved by the World Nobles, Boa was forced to eat a devil fruit, which gave her the power to turn both living and nonliving objects into stone.
Following her escape, she became the Empress of the Amazon Lily, the Captain of Kuja Pirates, and soon the only Female Warlord of the Sea. Her beauty is deceiving; it hides the immense physical prowess she possesses.
Besides all this, she’s the most important ally to Luffy, without whom our future Pirate King wouldn’t have come as far as he has.
2Catarina Devon
Devil Fruit: Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine Tailed Fox/ Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune (Mythical Zoan Type)
If you go anywhere around Catarina Devon, your instinct will scream for you to run away with your life, but your body would’ve given up by then. She was held at Level 6 of Impel Down, where the worst criminals are locked in.
In the entire pirate history, Catarina is considered the most dangerous female pirate ever imprisoned in Impel Down. And to prove her worth, she survived the battle among the other prisoners in Level 6 to join the Blackbeard Pirates.
1Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)
Devil Fruit: Soul-Soul Fruit /Soru Soru no Mi (Paramecia Type)
Charlotte Linlin is undoubtedly the strongest female character of One Piece. She’s a former crewmate of the legendary Rocks Pirates and, currently, the Captain of the Big Mom Pirates feared across the sea.
She held the title of Emperor of the Sea until her defeat by the hands of Law (see what I did there) and Kid’s alliance in Wano. But she’s far from over. If that isn’t enough to prove her strength, she’s also the mother of 85 children, most of whom are her crewmen.
Yes, it would’ve been better to see more ladies of One Piece with better character development under the spotlight, but it is what it is. You gain some, you lose some, and when it comes to One Piece, there’s hardly anything to complain about. But if you still have one, feel free to comment down.
