Here are Wano’s most amazing female characters that shone brightly in the war.

One Piece‘s Wano Country arc saw the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies take on the mighty powerful Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, along with the evil Shogun Orochi, in a bid to free the country.

With countless powerful fighters in the war, Oda made sure to give a great spotlight to some incredibly powerful female characters as well. As expected, they shone in the war and made a great name for themselves. While some fell, others made the climb to become the next big thing in the One Piece world.

10 Carrot

Carrot has been traveling with the Straw Hat crew since the end of the Zou arc and featured heavily during the Whole Cake Island arc. While she was present in Wano, her contribution was very minor and she was easily overshadowed by the other characters.

During Onigashima, she spotted Perospero and that was enough to bring up all her anger to avenge her fallen mentor, Pedro. While she fought well with Wanda and even made use of her Sulong form, Perospero overpowered them both and had to be eventually defeated by Nekomamushi.

9 Black Maria

Black Maria is one of Kaido’s Tobi Roppo, and one of the only two women only in the group. She is a gigantic woman who has eaten the Ancient Zoan Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli, which allows her to turn herself into a giant spider hybrid at will.

During the Raid, she spent her time in the Pleasure District, where she tricked and captured Sanji, torturing him until he called Nico Robin for help. She then engaged in a fight against Nico Robin that she lost despite her incredible powers.

8 Ulti

Ulti is the only other female member of the Tobi Roppo, and possibly even the most powerful member of the team. She is easily angered and loves her younger brother, Page One, despite annoying him constantly. Her Devil Fruit, the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus is an Ancient Zoan that grants her great durability and recovery rate.

On Onigashima, she fought against Luffy and was then attacked by Yamato and Big Mom as well. Despite that, she got up to fight Nami and Zeus, where she ultimately lost and was permanently knocked out.

7 Nami

Nami is the beloved navigator on the Straw Hat pirates crew. Being the series’ main female character who has been with the crew since Orange Town, big things were expected of her in Wano. In the Raid, she was mainly accompanied by Usopp, and together, the two were constantly chased down by Ulti and her younger brother, Page One.

During this arc, Nami recovered Zeus from Big Mom after some struggles. Ultimately, Zeus decided that he would be loyal to Nami over Big Mom. She then engaged Ulti in a fight and, despite her fight being terrible, she won thanks to Zeus’s powers.

6 Kozuki Hiyori

Kozuki Hiyori, formally known as the Oiran Komurasaki, is Momonosuke’s younger (now older) sister, and the late Shogun Kozuki Oden’s only daughter. She had to take on the alias of Komurasaki to protect herself during the 20 years of Orochi’s rule. During this time, she made a high standing for herself by having Orochi fall in love with her.

During the Raid, she assisted the samurai by tending to their wounds and, later, faced Orochi, before the latter was beheaded by Denjiro. While she is not physically powerful, she has shown a lot of mental strength.

5 Shinobu

Shinobu is a ninja who used to work for the Shogun but decided to leave his services after the Oniwabanshu’s betrayal of Kozuki Oden. She is the user of Juku Juku no Mi and, incredibly, was a huge support to the Raid, being one of the most underrated characters.

During the Raid, Shinobu offered Momonosuke protection until Yamato came to her aid. She was made a constant target by the Beast Pirates but still managed to accomplish her mission. It is also thanks to her powers that Momo was able to age up and carry Onigashima in the air.

4 O-Tama

Tama is a young girl that fans met at the very start of Wano. Energetic and childish, she is revealed to have had met and fostered a sibling-like relationship with the late Portgas D. Ace. Her Devil Fruit, called the Kibi Kibi no Mi allows her to tame any animal and, surprisingly, this power also works on SMILE users, making her a terrifying asset against a crew mainly constituted of them.

In the Raid, she mass-produced her Kibi Dango and swayed the odds by having the enemy follow her. Further, she also saved Nami and Usopp from certain death. For such a young girl, her support impacted the war strongly.

3 Big Mom

“Big Mom” Charlotte Linlin is the only known female Yonko in One Piece. The Wano arc saw her get defeated with Kaido and finally be dethroned. She is the most powerful known female character in One Piece and served as the head of a very powerful Yonko crew – The Big Mom Pirates.

In Wano, she fought alongside Kaido on the rooftop against the 5 Worst Generation members and aided him greatly until the two eventually got separated. She then fought Law and Kid, however, she ended up being thrown down from Onigashima and was branded as the loser of the fight.

2 Yamato

Yamato, the Oni Princess, is a character introduced during the Raid on Onigashima. Yamato is a big admirer of Kozuki Oden and wishes to continue on his legacy and set out to sea like he once did. While Yamato has a deep resentment for Kaido, they idolize Oden.

Yamato developed a deep friendship with Ace, who had come to Wano four years ago. Yamato vowed to leave the country someday and be free. At some point, Yamato became the user of the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami. Yamato is a very powerful fighter, and in Onigashima Raid, they went head to head with their father, Kaido, and held him back for Luffy.

1 Nico Robin

Nico Robin, the Demon Child, is the archeologist of the Straw Hat crew. She is, quite possibly, the most valuable person in the One Piece world, being the only one able to read the ancient Poneglyphs until recently, making her very coveted. During the Onigashima Raid, she got some very important character moments when she and Brook rushed to Sanji’s rescue from Black Maria’s clutches.

She then went on to fight Black Maria and defeated her by using everything she has learned so far, including Fish Man Karate. Eventually, she finished Black Maria off with her Demonio Fleur, which sees her transform into a giant winged demon.
