One Piece: 21 Characters Who Can Beat Blackbeard
Blackbeard is one of the most powerful characters in the One Piece world and only a few can hope to defeat him.
Oda has introduced quite a lot of extremely durable characters over the years, with some of them reaching the highest tier of power as well. These characters cannot even be scratched by the average individuals, and only the strongest can actually take them on in combat.
7 Vinsmoke Siblings
The Children Of Vinsmoke Judge
- Durability Stemming From: Lineage Factor Manipulation
The Vinsmoke siblings are quite durable and this is simply down to their genetic mutation that was done by Judge. They have a powerful exoskeleton, and this allows them to resist most external forces effortlessly. In fact, not even guns work on them, and even Haki-based attacks are not all that effective against the Vinsmokes.
Of course, they are not as strong as Sanji in every aspect, however, their durability is still quite high. When using their Raid Suits, their durability is pushed through the roof even further, and on top of that, they can even resist flames.
6 Jozu
The User Of The Kira Kira no Mi
- Durability Stemming From: Devil Fruit
Diamond Jozu possesses the Kira Kira no Mi, and in terms of toughness, he might be one of the most high-ranked individuals in the One Piece World. He was even able to stop one of Mihawk’s slashes with his diamond Devil Fruit, and that just goes to show his incredible durability.
Jozu hasn’t had his powers tested to the fullest, which is unfortunate, however, fans can say that he is among the most durable ones.
5 Sanji
The Cook Of The Straw Hats
- Durability Stemming From: Lineage Factor Manipulation
Sanji is one of One Piece’s most durable characters, and much of that is down to his genetic mutation which finally awakened in Wano. Sanji developed an exoskeleton, just like his siblings, however, in his case, his powers seem to be charged by emotions. The more emotion he showcases, the stronger they get, and this is something that separates him from his siblings.
Essentially, Sanji’s version of the power is much greater than that of his siblings. On top of that, Sanji can add his extremely refined Armament Haki on top, and this allows him to resist the powers of even the likes of Queen, which can crush Armament Haki masters, and the Seraphims, who are said to be the most durable in the world. Sanji is on track to become the most durable individual in the entirety of One Piece by the end.
4 Big Mom
A Former Emperor Of The Sea
- Durability Stemming From: Natural
Big Mom is an incredibly durable individual, and a monstrously powerful Yonko. When it comes to durability, Big Mom doesn’t take much damage at all. She has been described to be an iron balloon at times, and all the damage that Big Mom has taken in Wano has stemmed from internal damage.

One Piece: 8 Highest Bounties In The Straw Hat Grand Fleet
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet has some impressive members. Here are the individuals in it with the highest bounties.
Big Mom possesses tremendous toughness that can be comparable to that of Kaido, and this was naturally present for her, for some reason.
3 Kaido
A Former Yonko
- Durability Stemming From: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu
Kaido is another monstrously powerful individual who can be considered to be one of the toughest creatures in the entire world. Kaido’s toughness comes from his Haki, but also, at the same time, from his Dragon Devil Fruit.
The scales of the dragon are incredibly tough and they cannot be pierced or penetrated by most. To defeat Kaido, one needs to either learn Advanced Grade Haki, which can tear through his defenses, or, use techniques that simply bypass external defenses.
2 Warcury
One Of The Five Elders
- Durability Stemming From: Bakotsu Yokai
Saint Topman Warcury might just be the most durable individual in One Piece. His recent powers were revealed to be that of the Houki or the Fengxi, which is a giant boar. This boar is absolutely massive, and its skin is incredibly tough.
Luffy hit this bore with a Red Roc and ended up hurting his own hand, even though his Haki is very refined at this point in the story. The same Red Roc put Kaido on his back and made him bleed excessively from his mouth. This puts into perspective how strong Warcury’s defenses truly are and how durable he is.
1 Lunarians And Seraphims
The Strongest Of Humanity
- Durability Stemming From: Lunarian Power
The Lunarians and the Seraphims are objectively the most durable individuals in the world of One Piece. This is simply down to the fact that they possess special flames on their back, which give them tremendous durability. As long as the flames on their back keep burning, they cannot be hurt by even the most dangerous attack.
However, these flames likely cannot be kept on forever, which is why they only use it in certain instances, and not on others. That said, their durability is incredibly high and is likely to get even higher, especially in the case of the Seraphims.
