One Piece is an incredible story written by Eiichiro Oda that focuses on the journey of Monkey D. Luffy, a young boy who set out to sea to become the Pirate King. In an age where pirates dominate the sea and Marines try to curb their influence, large-scale battles aren't all that uncommon.
In fact, One Piece has some of the most amazing fights between pirates and other organizations. The fast-paced action, coupled with Eiichiro Oda's ability to write an incredibly intense story, makes some One Piece fights a cut above the rest.
10 Jinbe's Fight Against Who's Who Was His First As A Straw Hat
Jinbe fought Who's Who of the Beasts Pirates in the Onigashima section of the Wano Country arc. Using his superior Fishman Karate and an incredible display of Haki, Jinbe was able to defend against the attacks that Who's Who threw at him and at the same time, defeat him with one of his strongest techniques, known as Onigawara Seiken. The fight was quite important as it was Jinbe's first as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
9 Robin Vs. Black Maria Was One Of The Most Anticipated Fights
Nico Robin fought Yama in the Skypiea arc of One Piece and hadn't received a proper one-on-one fight ever since. With fans complaining about the lack of fights for the character, Oda finally delivered in the Wano Country arc as Robin defeated a Tobi Roppo worth 480 million berries in Black Maria, which just goes to show how powerful she truly is. Robin's Hana Hana no Mi was seen in full effect, and she even displayed a great hold over Fishman Karate, along with using the principles of Ryusoken.
8 Blackbeard Vs. Ace Damaged An Entire Island
Ace's great hunt of Blackbeard concluded when he finally caught up to him on Banaro Island in the Grand Line. There, the two fought in an extremely intense battle which gave the fans a proper glimpse of what Blackbeard was capable of, all while demonstrating Ace's powers to the fullest. Despite doing his very best, Ace fell short of what was needed to defeat Blackbeard and eventually lost the battle, leading to his capture and one of the greatest wars in the world of One Piece.
7 The Akazaya Nine Vs. Kaido Carried Tremendous Weight
The Akazaya Nine fought against Kaido in an incredible battle on the rooftop of Onigashima in the Wano Country arc of One Piece. After having waited for 20 years, the Akazaya Nine carried the burden of Oden's death deep in their hearts and eventually unleashed everything on the Yonko, even managing to make him bleed in the fight.
Fans also got to see a demonstration of what Kaido was truly capable of as he won the battle quite easily in the end, despite the brilliant effort of the samurai.
6 Luffy Vs. Usopp Was A Heartbreaking Duel
The Water 7 arc of One Piece saw the Straw Hat Pirates face their toughest times, as not only did Nico Robin disappear, but Usopp also fought Luffy. Refusing to let Merry die, Usopp challenged Luffy to take control of the ship. The duel broke the hearts of every single member of the Straw Hat Pirates and crushed the fans as well, since Usopp had traveled together with them since the East Blue days. Although Usopp tried his best to defeat Luffy, the Straw Hat captain was simply too powerful for him. With a heavy heart, Luffy delivered the final blow and left the Merry to him.
5 Zoro Vs. Mr. 1 Tested The Swordsman To The Very Limits
Roronoa Zoro has some of the best swordfights in One Piece, and his clash against Daz Bones, Mr. 1 of the Baroque Works, was certainly the greatest in the story so far. Zoro was clearly inferior to Daz Bones from the beginning, but as the fight went on, he adapted to his powers and eventually learned to cut steel, which is what helped him overcome his opponent. This also earned him a 60 million berries bounty and made him a force to be reckoned with.
4 Sanji Heated Up In The Fight Against Jabra
Sanji's fight against Jabra was one of the fiercest fights in the story as it gave the fans a glimpse of what the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates was truly capable of.
To overcome the Rokushiki powers of Jabra, Sanji developed a technique known as Diable Jambe, which raised the temperature of his leg and allowed him to pierce through Jabra's tough armor. With just two kicks, Sanji was able to defeat Jabra and walk away with what could've been the potential key to Robin's cuffs.
3 Luffy Pushed Beyond All Limits To Beat Lucci
Quite easily one of Luffy's greatest fights in One Piece, Luffy vs. Lucci is a spectacle from start to finish. From incredible new power-ups to incredible stakes and a villain who stands over all the others that Luffy faced until this point, this fight has it all. To overcome Lucci, Luffy had to use every drop of power in his body, and even then, had it not been for Usopp, Luffy would probably have lost this fight.
2 Luffy Improved While Fighting Katakuri
Luffy's fight against Katakuri was his biggest test in the New World at that point. Just relying on the training that he went through during the two-year timeskip wasn't enough for him to take Katakuri down. The man worth over a billion berries proved to be quite troublesome for Luffy and forced him to grow as the fight continued. Eventually, Luffy got a hang of the Future Sight Observation Haki and used it along with Snakeman to crush Katakuri.
1 Luffy Tested Himself Against The Strongest In Kaido
Luffy finally clashed with Kaido in the Wano Country arc after years of build-up that began in the Punk Hazard arc of the story. After losing to Kaido once in Kuri, Luffy trained incredibly hard to improve his Haki and stand a chance against the Yonko. What's more, Luffy also learned how to infuse Conqueror's Haki into his attacks. The battle has already lived up to being one of One Piece's greatest, and there is much more to come.
