Quick Navigation
The Straw Hat Pirates have rapidly established themselves as one of the most formidable pirate crews in the One Piece universe.

Recent chapters reveal critical information about the relative power rankings among these officers.
Top Three Yonko Officers in the Straw Hat Pirates
Dominance of Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe
In the realm of One Piece, there is a consensus among fans regarding the most powerful members of the Straw Hat crew. Clearly, Luffy stands unmatched as the strongest, having transcended previous power limits.
Among the officers, Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe emerge as the top three, a status unlikely to be challenged in the foreseeable future. Each of these characters commands mastery over Haki, including both Armament and Observation abilities, with Zoro uniquely wielding Conqueror’s Haki as well.
Robin’s Growing Power
Nico Robin: The 4th Strongest Yonko Officer
While the trio of top officers is firmly established, Oda has recently confirmed that Nico Robin ranks as the 4th strongest member of the crew. In One Piece chapter 1148, Robin engages in a fierce battle against the Holy Knights, specifically taking on the formidable Saint Sommers. Her combat prowess is on full display as she cleverly uses her intellect to outmaneuver her opponent, though she ultimately requires rescue due to his exceptional regenerative abilities.
“The things you have destroyed back there were priceless artifacts. Precious treasure whose importance cannot be measured… History may always be repeating itself, but humans cannot go back into the past… you wouldn’t understand that, would you?” — Nico Robin
Robin’s strength and potential are undeniable. With further development of her Haki and potential Devil Fruit awakening, she may one day surpass Jinbe in strength. Fans are optimistic that Oda will capitalize on her abilities and grant her Haki soon.

Following Robin in strength among the crew is Franky, with Nami, Brook, Chopper, and Usopp positioned behind them. Each of these characters is urged to enhance their abilities, particularly focusing on mastering Haki, to thrive in the New World.
