The Straw Hat pirate crew is among the toughest in One Piece, but not all their members are equally strong. Here’s how they rank.

The Straw Hat Pirates are known to be the one of the strongest pirate crews in the One Piece world. Led by the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, Monkey D. Luffy, this crew is home to some of the strongest characters in the story, all of which have made a name for themselves in the ongoing story of One Piece.

Currently, the crew is engaging Yonko Kaido and Big Mom on Onigashima, which just goes to show how incredible they truly are. While all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates are quite capable, not everyone possesses the same level of strength. Here’s how they stack up against each other.

Updated on March 8, 2023, by Rei Penber: The Straw Hat Pirates are a powerful crew that have now ascended to the rank of Yonko. This crew hails from the East Blue and has reached incredible heights since then. Recently, in Wano Country, they went on to fight against the Beast Pirates and managed to win an incredible war against them with overwhelming superiority. Since then, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates have gained several power-ups and, thus, their level of strength has changed considerably. They are now well respected and feared across the world as a mighty Yonko crew. While this list already goes over the Straw Hats ranked by strength, new information about them means that it needs to be updated accordingly.

10 Usopp, The Sniper

Usopp is the sniper of the Straw Hat crew, who joined Luffy on his journey during the Syrup Village arc. Usopp is known to be a coward at times, and by his own admission, he often can’t keep up with the rest of the crew. Like Nami, he relies on clever tricks in battle. On occasions, Usopp can be the bravest person on the crew but he often lacks the skill required to back that bravery up.

On Wano, Usopp struggled heavily to fight and even hurt Page One, despite being a skilled sniper and a user of Observation Haki. It just goes to show that he is among the weakest — however, among the Straw Hats, even the weakest are skilled fighters.

What Usopp Did In The Wano Country Arc

In the Wano Country arc, Usopp didn’t receive much of a power-up. He attempted to fight Ulti and Page One but was, sadly, not powerful enough to take down either of them. Some of his attacks against them were effective but most didn’t cause them any trouble.

Usopp After Wano

Usopp remains to be the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. In Wano, the vast majority of the members of the Straw Hat crew received good power-ups. However, Usopp was one of the members who did not receive any power-up and thus is lagging behind. While he might catch up in the story later on, currently, he remains to be the weakest member of the crew by far.

Wano was quite disappointing for him. However, that certainly doesn’t mean that will be the weakest forever. Fans know that the story is now heading towards Elbaf and, as such, shine for Usopp is almost guaranteed there. He currently has a bounty of 500 million Berries.

9 Brook, The Musician

Also known as Soul King, Brook is the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates who joined them after the events of the Thriller Bark arc. As a former captain, Brook is quite strong and his skill with a sword is quite impressive.

On Onigashima, Brook took care of quite a few gifters and even a member of the Numbers with relatice ease. With his sword, he can summon the cold of the underworld and freeze all those in his way; however, he’s still far from the strongest in the crew.

What Brook Did In The Wano Country Arc

Brook also got his own fight in the Wano Country arc, however, certainly not one where he had to show his true skill. While Robin fought one of the Tobiroppo, Brook took on her underlings and a Number by himself. With a new technique called Phrase d’armes: Orchestra, he was able to defeat them all in a single blow.

Brook After Wano

Brook is a powerful member of the crew, however, he did not get much shine in Wano. That said, Brook is always ready for any challenge and his strength is often underrated. His bounty of 383 million berries just goes to show that he is considered to be a skilled member of the crew.

8 Chopper, The Doctor

Chopper is an essential member of the crew and he was the first major recruit in the Straw Hat Pirates after they entered the Grand Line. Although Chopper is a reindeer, his Devil Fruit gives him the power of a human. Using a drug known as Rumble Ball, he can control his transformations.

Chopper’s Monster Point is quite powerful and he can maintain its power for a total of 30 minutes after enhancing it with Caesar Clown. On Onigashima, Chopper was able to hold Queen back for quite some time, albeit with a lot of trouble. Nonetheless, this is an impressive feat.

What Chopper Did In The Wano Country Arc

Like Usopp, Chopper didn’t receive much of a fight in Wano, however, he did save countless lives by curing the Ice Oni virus. At the same time, he was also able to fight an All Star for about 20 minutes, although it must be noted that the latter wasn’t serious in the fight.

Chopper After Wano

Chopper’s gag continues after the events of Wano as well. He now has 1000 berry bounty. Chopper is far from weak, however. In Wano, he did considerably well against a commander in Queen. Chopper is far from his best yet and in the future, he will get stronger.

7 Nami, The Navigator

Nami was one of the first characters to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and remains an extremely important character to the story. When it comes to strength, she’s the weakest member of the crew, which is why she often relies on clever tricks and strategies in battle.

Although she has the power of Zeus at her disposal, Nami doesn’t possess the necessary durability to withstand a fight against strong opponents, which is why she often runs away from fights and chooses not to engage with most enemies.

What Nami Did In The Wano Country Arc

Nami received a massive power-up in the Wano Country arc when Zeus, one of Big Mom’s homies, merged with her Climatact. Thanks to its powers, Nami can now use lightning that is powerful enough to take down some of the most durable people in the story such as Ulti. With that Nami is now among the strongest Straw Hats.

Nami After Wano

Nami is now a well-decorated commander of the Straw Hat Pirates. After her accomplishments in Wano, she was awarded a bounty of 366 million, which is nothing short of staggering.

Given that this bounty was once what made Luffy famous across the Grand Line, Nami has a significant amount on her head, which surpasses the bounty of even a Supernova in Jewelry Bonney.

6 Franky, The Shipwright

Franky was initially an antagonist in the story; however, his journey with the Straw Hat Pirates changed that quickly. By the end of the post-Enies Lobby arc, Franky was a member of the crew.

As a shipwright, Franky is quite skilled but he’s also a very competent fighter. He was able to enhance his body and become a Cyborg. He has Kizaru’s laser installed on his body and using Franky Shogun, he becomes a force to be reckoned with. This Straw Hat Pirate showed his skill when he beat Sasaki of the Tobi Roppo on Onigashima.

What Franky Did In The Wano Country Arc

Franky fought Sasaki, one of the members of the Tobiroppo on Onigashima, and fared quite well against him. Despite Sasaki having a 472 million berries bounty, Franky was able to overcome him with the power of Franky Shogun, along with his all-powerful Radical Beam.

Franky After Wano

Franky is among the stronger members of the crew and he went on to show that in Wano as well where he fought against Sasaki. Franky currently has a bounty of 394 million berries, which is rather low for someone as skilled as him. However, he’s likely going to become even more infamous in the future.

5 Nico Robin, The Archaeologist

Nico Robin joined the Straw Hat Pirates after the fall of Crocodile during the Alabasta arc. Over the years, Robin has proven herself to be one of the most important members of the crew when it comes to finding the One Piece, if not the most important.

As a fighter, Robin utilizes her Hana Hana no Mi power to sprout her limbs or her body from anywhere and defeat her opponents. She took on Black Maria on Onigashima and managed to defeat her, an extremely impressive feat.

What Robin Did In The Wano Country Arc

Robin received her first major fight in the story since Skypiea during the Wano Country arc as she fought Black Maria, a woman worth 480 million berries. She was able to evolve the powers of her Hana Hana no Mi to new levels and ended up creating two new forms, Grande Fleur and Demonio Fleur. What’s more, Robin also showcased the usage of Fishman Karate and the basic principle of Ryusoken.

Robin After Wano

After the events of Wano, Robin went on to be recognized as one of the strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates. She was given a bounty of 930 million berries which showcases her threat to the world government very well.

She is now stronger than ever before and even Vegapunk on Egghead Island went on to give props to her, mentioning her alongside Zoro as one of the strongest on the crew.

4 Jinbe, The Helmsman

Jinbe is the most recent addition to the Straw Hat Pirates, who joined the crew during the Whole Cake Island arc. A former Shichibukai, Jinbe is extremely powerful and has incredible skill when it comes to Fishman Karate.

What’s more, Jinbe is also a capable user of both Armament and Observation Haki. On Onigashima, he fought Who’s Who and managed to defeat him without much trouble.

What Jinbe Did In The Wano Country Arc

Upon joining, Jinbe was aleady among the strongest Straw Hats. Jinbe took on the strongest of the Tobiroppo, Who’s Who in the Wano Country arc. In his fight, he was seen using Haki very well but his biggest asset was certainly the Fishman Karate and he displayed a new technique, called Onigawara Seiken, to the fans. Jinbe.

Jinbe After Wano

The Knight of the Sea, Jinbe does not need any introduction to the world of One Piece. He’s already among the most popular characters and is also very well respected. He is currently a high-ranking commander of the Straw Hat Crew and he was given a bounty of 1.1 billion berries by the World Government, which just goes to show his level of strength.

3 Sanji, The Chef

Sanji is the Chef of the Straw Hat Pirates and and a member of the famous Monster Trio of the crew. Though his title might not suggest it, he possesses incredible fighting prowess, as evident from the fact that he is taking on a man worth 1.320 billion berries in Wano.

Sanji is a user of both Armament and Observation Haki, and his skill with the Black-Leg Style and Diable Jambe makes him a threat to anyone in the story. What’s more, he also had the power of the Raid Suit, making him one of the strongest pirates in the entire world.

What Sanji Did In The Wano Country Arc

For Sanji, the Wano Country arc was huge as he ended up fighting Queen, who had all the powers of the Vinsmoke Family. Sanji awoke his dormant genetic augmentations and created a new power called Ifrit Jambe. Thanks to its powers, he was able to take Queen down at a very low difficulty.

Sanji After Wano

Sanji is yet another high-ranking commander of the Straw Hat Crew. He is one of the wings of the future Pirate King, Luffy. Sanji awakened incredible powers towards the end of Wano where he tapped into his scientific modifications and gained newfound strength.

After Wano, he was recognized by the World Government as one of the main threats to the crew and was given a bounty of 1.032 billion berries.

2 Roronoa Zoro, The Swordsman

Zoro is Luffy’s first mate and he aims to be the strongest swordsman in the One Piece world. He uses the Three-Sword Style in combat to overcome his enemies and slowly, he’s getting very close to Mihawk’s level.

After the timeskip, Zoro could tap into two Haki types. He also has Conqueror’s Haki; however, the power lays dormant within him. Currently Zoro is fighting King the Wildfire on Onigashima, showing that he’s truly Luffy’s strongest crewman at the moment.

What Zoro Did In The Wano Country Arc

Zoro’s fight against King proved to be his biggest challenge in the arc. During the fight, Zoro conquered Enma and awoke Conqueror’s Haki. He evolved his Three-Sword Style and ended up creating “King of Hell: Three Sword Style” which let him defeat King the Wildfire.

Zoro After Wano

Zoro is the second-strongest member of the crew and that will most likely always be the case in the story. After defeating Kaido’s strongest underling, King, Zoro was recognized as the strongest commander of the crew.

He currently has a bounty of 1.111 billion berries on his head, which just goes to show that he is no pushover. On Egghead Island, Vegapunk went on to give Zoro props as a dangerous beast.

1 Monkey D. Luffy, The Captain

Luffy is the by far the strongest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. As the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, Luffy is incredibly powerful and is able to hold his own against the Yonko of the One Piece world. He uses the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi in incredible ways and keeps getting stronger.

Luffy is also a user of all three Haki types and what’s more, he can tap into the advanced forms of all these Haki types. By coating himself in Conqueror’s Haki, Luffy has become a pirate worthy of fighting the likes of Kaido. He’s head and shoulders above every other member of the crew, and stands tall as the strongest.

What Luffy Did In The Wano Country Arc

For Luffy, Wano meant taking the next big step and being strong enough to stand among the Yonko. By mastering the power of Conqueror’s Haki and combining it with Ryuo, Luffy can finally take on Kaido. This isn’t his biggest power-up, however. Since Zoro and Sanji got massive power-ups, it only makes sense for Luffy to do so as well and fans are yet to see what he has in his bag.

Luffy After Wano

Luffy has now ascended to the throne of Yonko after defeating Kaido in Wano. To do that, he had to awaken his Devil Fruit powers and unlock Gear 5th. Luffy was able to beat Kaido, the Strongest Creature in the World, meaning the level of threat he poses to the World Government would be recognized as very high.

He has a 3 billion battery bounty on his head, however, the fact that he beat Kaido itself proves that he deserves a higher bounty. Nonetheless, Luffy is by far the strongest member of the crew and that will remain the case throughout the story.
