Before we answer the question, it’s important to clarify that this article contains spoilers for the anime. If you haven’t read the anime yet, you may want to start by checking out the Wikipedia article on One Piece. If you haven’t, here’s a good place to start:
Red-Haired Shanks
If you’re wondering if the Red-Haired Shanks in the popular anime series One Piece are stronger than Whitebeard, it’s important to know the details. In the manga, Shanks is a powerful swordsman, whose sword is capable of stopping the magma fist of Akainu. While the latter has a superior sword, Shanks’s sword is better.
While Whitebeard and Shanks were equally strong, Shanks’ strength is superior. His two-handed fighting ability enables him to stalemate the strongest man in the world. Shanks’ bluff and determination make him the strongest pirate in the series. He was also the last emperor to integrate a small group, which is why he was so feared and respected.
Despite the fact that Shanks’ crew is not named, they look up to him. While Whitebeard’s men warn his men to prepare themselves for the upcoming battle, he looks out for everyone’s well-being. This apprehension is evident by the fact that Shanks refused to take Luffy, as well as Whitebeard’s crew. While his ability is not fully understood yet, Jozu notes that Shanks’ Haki is still as strong as Whitebeard’s.
However, the Red-Haired Shanks is far more powerful than Whitebeard. Whitebeard has the power to destroy Luffy in a single hit, while Shanks can only use this power for a limited time. The latter is capable of sustaining massive electrocutions while avoiding Luffy’s attacks. One Piece fans are apt to disagree with this statement, but the anime series has made it clear that Luffy is the stronger of the two.
Dracule Mihawk
Dracule Mihawk is considered to be one of the strongest swordsmen in the One Piece series. Although Whitebeard was stronger than Mihawk, he does not possess the same dexterity as Mihawk does. Whitebeard was part of the Four Emperors, but was killed by Marshall D. Teach at the Battle of Ford Navy. In addition to being stronger, Mihawk possesses superhuman skills in swordsmanship and is able to destroy fleets of ships and icebergs.
In One Piece, Dracule Mihawk is the strongest swordsman. He is also the strongest non-devil fruit fighter in the series. The character’s strength carries over to his sword skills, and he was the only one to spare Zoro. The Whitebeard Pirates were considered the strongest pirate crew in the world, and their late captain was even able to fight Gol D. Roger. In addition, Dracule Mihawk is stronger than Shanks and is the best swordsman in the series.
While the strength of Whitebeard’s swordsmanship is unknown, Mihawk is an incredibly intelligent and quick character. Mihawk has the ability to spot potential in people, and he is one of the first to identify Luffy’s charisma as his most valuable asset. He is also a rare character who never takes damage. That makes him a very dangerous character, but also one of the strongest pirates in the series.
One Piece also features Dracule Mihawk as the strongest swordsman. While Whitebeard was the “Strongest Man Alive,” Mihawk is a stronger swordsman than any of the characters in the show. Another character with superhuman strength is Shanks, a non-devil fruit user who has an arm. Another character with superhuman strength is Saitama, who can knock out anyone in one punch.
Gol D. Roger
The strongest pirate in the series, Gol D. Roger, is a middle-aged man with huge muscles, dwarfing normal humans. In contrast, Blackbeard, a pirate with an infamous history, is a mere six-footer and is thought to be Edward Teach. When Whitebeard killed Roger, he became the strongest man in the World. This is interesting, but it also raises questions about Whitebeard’s strength.
The most famous version of Gol D. Roger’s strength is derived from his first-mate, Yanko. The two were closely related to each other. The former was a master of all three kinds of Haki and had incredible physical strength. This makes him seem almost indestructible. In the original series, Roger fought alongside Whitebeard, but he did not have Devil Fruit power. This made him stronger than Whitebeard in one fight.
However, Roger’s mighty strength was not the same as the pirates’ swashbuckling prowess. Whitebeard was a better swordsman than Roger. While Whitebeard was more reckless, Roger was much more calculating and countered every strategy Sengoku threw his way. Regardless of Whitebeard’s superior strength, there are many reasons why Roger is stronger than Whitebeard in One Piece.
Gold Roger is an infamous pirate and the previous Pirate Lord of One Piece. He is the father of Portgas D. Ace, the adoptive brother of Monkey D. Luffy and Sabo. Gold Roger was rich and powerful and Smoker had pride in his son. However, despite this, he still has many weaknesses, including his ability to transform himself into a Phoenix.
Kozuki Oden
The character Kozuki Oden is one of the main protagonists in the anime series One Piece. He is one of the strongest pirates and can defeat Whitebeard in many ways. His strength is demonstrated in a number of different ways, and this article will focus on the strongest one. In One Piece, Kozuki Oden is stronger than Whitebeard in all five categories.
While Whitebeard was pissed off at Oden for leaving his crew, he still had the dream of exploring the world on the open seas and he fought against him on several occasions. Whitebeard had been a member of the Marines, and it was only natural for him to want to rule the country. The only problem is that Whitebeard has no jurisdiction in Wano. Thus, Oden must fight Whitebeard to become an official member of Whitebeard’s crew.
Before going out to sea with Roger, Oden was an extremely strong pirate, but he lacked the adv CoC to compete with the captain. With this attribute, he could be comparable to Roger and Whitebeard. This is why the anime series uses adv CoC to compare Oden to Whitebeard. There is a huge amount of hype around Oden’s strength, but it’s just hype.
In One Piece, Oden is a natural leader who is superior to Whitebeard. The fact that he possesses the ‘Joker’ rank makes him the fifth strongest member of the Beasts Pirates. His ability to use all three Haki types is impressive, but his control is basic. While Oden is stronger than Whitebeard, he cannot beat Shiki.
Marco the Phoenix
While Whitebeard may be stronger than Marco the Phoenix, this doesn’t necessarily mean he is more powerful. Marco is a strong character and adept at using Armament Haki, which allows him to imbue himself with fire. He is also an advanced user of Observation Haki. After Whitebeard’s death, Marco took over the leadership of the crew, which he continued to do until the Payback War. As a veteran of the game, Marco has had many battles and is capable of taking on Blackbeard.
While Whitebeard’s right-hand man Usopp is the strongest of the two, Marco is stronger. When Whitebeard stabs Ace, he accidentally causes a spike in Luffy’s power level, which is why he is more powerful than him. In addition, Marco is stronger than Whitebeard because he wields the Mythical Zoan devil fruit, which grants the powers of a phoenix. This fruit is extremely rare and powerful.
Many One Piece fans hold Garp in high regard. Garp used to corner Gol D. Roger several times, and has an excellent understanding of Armament Haki. During the Battle of the Mythical Zoan, Garp defeated Marco using just his fist, bypassing the Devil Fruit powers. Marco is also more offensive, and he is more adept at healing himself. This makes him more powerful than Ace.
If we compare the power of Whitebeard to Marco the Phoenix, it is obvious that the latter is stronger. After all, he is a former rival of Gol D. Roger, but Whitebeard’s power is unmatched by any other character in the series. However, Marco can only regenerate so much damage before being taken out for good. However, this doesn’t mean that Whitebeard is stronger than Marco the Phoenix, and vice versa.
