🚨 SHOCKING TRUTH: LUFFY ISN’T THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD’VE BEEN PIRATE KING – THESE 7 MONSTERS HAD WHAT IT TAKES TO STEAL ROGER’S CROWN AND RULE THE SEAS! 😱👑

The Pirate King is the most prestigious title that any pirate can hold in One Piece. As the name implies, the Pirate King is the person who conquers all the seas and goes on to find the One Piece. The Pirate King is also the strongest in the world, though it is not necessary for the strongest to be called the Pirate King, given that one would have to circumnavigate the entire globe and find the One Piece to claim the title.

So far, only the captain of the Roger Pirates, Gol D. Roger, has held this incredible title. However, there are many individuals in One Piece who are deserving of being called the Pirate King as well. In the future of One Piece, fans will likely see someone emerge and take this title.

Eustass Kid

• Pirate Crew: Kid Pirates
• Devil Fruit: Jiki Jiki no Mi
• Haki: All Three

Eustass Kid is an individual with the makings of a king. This isn’t much of a surprise to the fans, given that he has access to the power of Conqueror’s Haki. Kid is a very determined individual, and he has gone head-to-head against multiple Yonko during his career as a pirate.

Kid even played a massive role in defeating Big Mom, and that just goes to show his strength. However, he was recently crushed by Shanks, which means Kid still has some more training to do before he ascends to the next level. Despite being destroyed, one cannot count Kid out completely and he will likely continue his quest for the One Piece soon enough.

Trafalgar Law

• Pirate Crew: Heart Pirates
• Devil Fruit: Ope Ope no Mi
• Haki: Armament, Observation

Trafalgar Law is another member of the Worst Generation, and certainly one of the strongest in the new era. After the events of Wano, he was given a 3 billion Berry bounty, and fans know for a fact that he is one of the strongest of the new era.

Law aims to get to the Final Island and claim the One Piece as well, even though he isn’t all that interested in the treasure, and his main concern is surrounding the Checkered Fate of the D. Law is tremendously powerful, thanks to the usage of his Ope Ope no Mi. Law might not have Conqueror’s Haki, but he possesses control over Haki in general. It isn’t out of the question for law to gain Conqueror’s Haki haki in the future. Regardless, he is an individual worthy of earning the title of the Pirate King if he continues to grow like he is right now.

Buggy

• Pirate Crew: Cross Guild
• Devil Fruit: Bara Bara no Mi
• Haki: None

Buggy is an individual who has continued to fail upwards in One Piece. While one might discredit him due to being very weak, Buggy actually has a lot of ambition and determination. In fact, his ambition is greater than both Dracule Mihawk and Crocodile, which was showcased recently in the series. He truly believes he can go on to become the Pirate King and steal the treasure from under the noses of the other Yonko.

To some extent, Buggy is looking to rival Shanks and beat him to the One Piece. This is certainly an individual who deserves the title, despite not being as strong, and fans will be interested to see how he progresses over the next few years when the Cross Guild takes the center stage in One Piece.

Boa Hancock

• Pirate Crew: Kuja Pirates
• Devil Fruit: Mero Mero no Mi
• Haki: All Three Types

The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock is one of the strongest individuals in One Piece. After the fall of Big Mom, she is certainly the strongest female pirate that fans know. Hancock is a user of all the Haki types, which means she has the disposition of a King. At the same time, fans also know that she possesses one of the most overpowered Devil Fruit abilities in One Piece, and that is the Mero Mero no Mi.

Using this power, she can petrify just about anyone, and this power is so unique that even Blackbeard wanted it for himself. Hancock has a 1.659 billion berry bounty right now, and it is highly likely that this bounty will continue to grow later down the line.

Shanks

• Pirate Crew: Red Hair Pirates
• Devil Fruit: None
• Haki: All Three Types

The red-haired Emperor, Shanks is Roger’s very own apprentice and it doesn’t take much to see why he is Pirate King material. He is one of the strongest individuals in One Piece, with Haki that rivals the likes of Joy Boy himself.

His strength is such that he could one-shot both Kid and Killer at the same time. He is on an entirely different level right now, and fans will most definitely get to see more of him later down the line. Right now, he is actively hunting down the One Piece.

Blackbeard

• Pirate Crew: Blackbeard Pirates
• Devil Fruit: Yami Yami no Mi, Gura Gura no Mi
• Haki: Armament, Observation

Blackbeard is one of the most important characters in the story right now, and a big antagonist for Luffy to take down as well. Blackbeard aims to become the King of the entire world, which means his ambition actually goes beyond Pirate King.

Fans will most definitely get to see more of him later down the line. Right now, he is on the path to attaining the One Piece, and fans will surely keep a close eye on him over the next few years.

Monkey D. Luffy

• Pirate Crew: Straw Hat Pirates
• Devil Fruit: Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
• Haki: All Three Types

Of course, the protagonist of the series, Luffy is the man who will most definitely get to become the Pirate King. His strength certainly is enough to see him take this title for himself, as is his personality and his infamy in the One Piece world.

Luffy is a pirate unlike any other, and fans will most definitely get to see him reach the next level in the Final Saga. He is already worthy of this title and he will attain it to fulfill Joy Boy’s promise in the process.
