The Marines currently stand as one of the two great powers of the One Piece world. These are ten of the strongest marines out there!
The Marines, as the military force of the World Government, hold a significant position as one of the two major powers in the world of One Piece, alongside the Yonko. Their primary responsibility is to enforce the laws that govern the entire world.
However, the Marines face a unique challenge in that they are ultimately under the control of the Celestial Dragons, who represent the World Government. As a result, there are instances where the Marines must act against their own self-interest to maintain the perceived notions of “peace” and “justice” dictated by the World Government.
Being one of the major powers, the Marines understand the necessity of immense strength in order to fulfill their duties. As a result, Marines undergo rigorous and demanding training regimens to enhance their physical abilities, combat skills, and overall power. This rigorous training is essential for them to effectively carry out their duty as enforcers of the law and to navigate the dangerous world of piracy and other threats.
Ultimately, the Marines’ strength and training are crucial factors in upholding the authority and order imposed by the World Government, despite the complexities and conflicts they may encounter along the way.
10 COBY
Coby is a Rear Admiral in the Marines and a member of the secretive Marine unit called SWORD. He holds the distinguished honor of being personally trained by a legendary Marine Hero, which was an intense and grueling experience but equipped him to face difficult challenges ahead.
Coby gained recognition for his heroic actions during the Rocky Port incident, where he confronted the infamous rookie pirate Trafalgar D. Water Law, who had a notorious reputation. In the series, Coby’s career in the Marines has seen a remarkable ascent, progressing from the lowly rank of chore boy to the esteemed rank of Rear Admiral within just two years.
9) Smoker
Vice Admiral Smoker first made his appearance in Loguetown, where he was on a mission to capture Monkey D. Luffy. Since then, he, along with his partner Tashigi, has appeared in various One Piece arcs, consistently striving to enforce their own brand of justice.
Smoker possesses the Smoke-Smoke Logia Devil Fruit, which grants him the ability to manipulate and transform into smoke. This unique power has contributed to his rise through the ranks of the Marines. In encounters during the Alabasta and Loguetown arcs, Smoker proved to be a formidable opponent for Luffy, and even managed to engage in a brief but intense battle with Portgas D. Ace, a commander under the authority of the Four Emperors (Yonko).
8) X Drake
Drake is a Rear Admiral in the Navy and currently serves as the captain of the covert marine unit known as SWORD. However, to the general public, he is seen as a former Marine who turned pirate, leading the notorious Drake Pirates. As a result, he has gained infamy and is recognized as a member of the notorious Worst Generation.
Details regarding Drake’s secret operations with SWORD remain largely undisclosed, but his role as the unit’s leader highlights his significance within the Marines. Additionally, Drake’s considerable power led him to be recruited by the powerful pirate known as a Yonko, Kaido, and he became a part of the Flying Six, a group associated with Kaido’s forces. This further attests to Drake’s strength and influence within the world of One Piece.

He is portrayed as a calm and composed individual who prefers a hassle-free lifestyle. However, when necessary, he can unleash his true power and become a fearsome force to be reckoned with.
An intriguing aspect of Green Bull’s character is that he has abstained from eating for over three years, as revealed in the series. Despite this unusual trait, he maintains exceptional physical strength and functions normally. The fact that he can sustain such a lifestyle while remaining powerful has garnered attention from notable figures like Doflamingo and Blackbeard, who have hinted at Green Bull’s immense danger, suggesting that few pirates would stand a chance against him.

4 Kizaru
Admiral Kizaru is a long-standing and highly esteemed member of the Marines, known for being one of the strongest fighters within their ranks. He is notably recognized for his laid-back and carefree demeanor, often embodying the concept of “lazy justice.” This approach to justice leads Kizaru to act in a whimsical and unpredictable manner. He may choose to either eliminate or capture pirates he encounters, or simply let them go without much concern.
Just the mention of Kizaru’s name is enough to instill fear and panic among most pirates on Sabaody. His true strength was demonstrated during the intense war at Marineford, where he inflicted considerable damage upon numerous notorious pirates who were present. Kizaru’s formidable abilities stem from consuming the Glint-Glint Fruit, granting him the power to control, generate, and transform into light itself. This unique ability allows him to wield light as a devastating force in combat.
3) SakaZuki Akainu
Sakazuki, previously known as Akainu, currently holds the position of Fleet Admiral within the Marines, making him the most powerful individual in the organization. He is a staunch adherent of the Marine principle known as Absolute Justice. According to this belief, all pirates are inherently evil, and the Marines are the embodiment of righteousness, empowered to deal with criminals as they see fit.
Akainu’s unwavering dedication to Absolute Justice led to a particularly extreme incident. He ordered the sinking of a civilian ship departing from Ohara, as he suspected the presence of a scholar onboard. This act demonstrated his ruthless commitment to eradicating any potential threats, even at the cost of innocent lives.
Furthermore, at some point in his journey, Akainu consumed the Magma-Magma Fruit, granting him the power to transform into a magma-human. This ability bestows upon him devastating firepower, which was clearly demonstrated during the Marineford war. Akainu unleashed his magma-based attacks, resulting in the tragic demise of both the Yonko, Whitebeard, and Ace.
2 Sengoku
Admiral Sengoku, the former Fleet Admiral and current Navy Inspector General, is revered as one of the living legends from the previous era of the Marines. He played an active role during the days of renowned pirates such as Gol D. Roger, Rocks D. Xebec, “The Golden Lion” Shiki, and Captain John.
Throughout his career, Sengoku frequently collaborated with Garp, forming a formidable team to confront numerous notorious pirates. Their partnership remains strong to this day. Sengoku is known to have consumed the mythical zoan-type Devil Fruit known as the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha. This granted him immense power and led to him being bestowed with the epithet of “Sengoku the Buddha.”
Sengoku is considered a complete fighter, excelling in physical strength, tactical astuteness, and mental fortitude. His strategic prowess was a major contributing factor to the Marines’ victory in the Marineford war. His abilities, combined with his leadership, played a pivotal role in securing the Marines’ success during the conflict.
1) Monkey D Garp
Monkey D. Garp, known as the “Marine Hero,” is perhaps the most renowned Marine figure in the entire One Piece world. His name and reputation as “Garp, the Hero” and “Garp, the Iron Fist” are celebrated far and wide. Garp was highly active during the era of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, tirelessly pursuing him and other pirate crews throughout the treacherous New World.
One of Garp’s notable achievements was his alliance with the Pirate King to bring down Rocks D. Xebec and his crew, known as the most dangerous pirate crew of their time, 38 years ago. Despite his many accomplishments, Garp has consistently held the rank of Marine Vice Admiral. This is primarily because he has deliberately declined several promotions, aiming to maintain his independence from the direct command of the Celestial Dragons.
Garp’s unwavering dedication to justice and his relentless pursuit of pirates have made him an iconic figure, inspiring stories and legends that reverberate throughout the world of One Piece.
