Eiichiro Oda's One Piece had finally entered the much awaited Wano Country arc and the fans can't wait to see all the fighting get started. With the story being in its Third Act right now, most of the characters that'll appear in the war have already been revealed to us.
It goes without saying that the war of Wano Country will see some of the strongest characters in the series go head to head against each other, with the Straw Hat Pirates at the midst of it all. Here are the 10 strongest characters in Wano Country right now, ranked in order of how powerful they are.
10 Zorojuro
Zorojuro, or Roronoa Zoro, is the second strongest character in the Straw Hat Pirate crew after Luffy himself. Zoro is a master swordsman who has fought against the likes of Pica after the time-skip and won with ease.
He proved to be quite a challenge for a weakened Killer and won his fight against him as well, although passing out himself in the process. Against Kyoshiro, however, Zoro felt like he was the underdog. With that being said, his exact strength isn't known, and for that, he claims the 10th spot on this list.
9 Trafalgar Law
The captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law is currently at Wano Country as a part of the alliance that's planning to take Kaido down. He's certainly one of the strongest people in the country, although not quite on Luffy's level. Law had fought and defeated the likes of Kin'emon and Vergo with ease.
In Dressrosa, Law was able to fight Doflamingo to some extent and even injured him badly with the Gamma Knife. He also beat Basil Hawkins in Wano after finally setting out on his own. Until the time to the Fire Festival, Law's bound to have gotten stronger.
8 Eustass Kid
Another one of the Worst Generation, Eustass Kid is also in Wano Country right now after having been defeated by Kaido and thrown into a prison. Thanks to Luffy, Kid roams Wano freely now, along with his partner Killer. Kid's strength isn't known but said to have clashed against one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, likely Charlotte Cracker, in the past.
He's going to be around the same level as Trafalgar Law, but his exact strength can't be gauged just yet. Nonetheless, he takes the 8th spot on this list.
7 Kyoshiro
'Inemuri' Kyoshiro is the current boss of the Yakuza of Wano Country and also one of Orochi's dogs. Although he may appear to be an average looking Samurai, he is anything but that. Kyoshiro clashed against Zoro in the Flower Capital and swatted aside his 720 Pound Phoenix without any trouble whatsoever.
What's more, he held Zoro back quite casually, while the latter found it impossible to break through his defences. It has been confirmed that Kyoshiro is actually Denjiro, one of Oden's retainers.
6 Jack the Drought
An All-Star of the Beasts Pirates and pirate with a bounty of a billion berries on his head, Jack the Drought is one of Kaido's three strongest crewmates. He wields an Ancient Zoan type of Devil Fruit called Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth, which allows him to transform into a giant mammoth at will.
His powers were enough to fight against the leaders of the Mink Tribe, and with the help of Caesar's poison weapons, he emerged victorious as well. Furthermore, he possesses insane durability as he survived an onslaught by the Navy Admiral Fujitora, and shortly after that, Zunesha.
5 Inuarashi and Nekomamushi
Both Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are two of the most powerful retainers of Kozuki Oden and the current leaders of the Minks. Each one of them was strong enough to fight against Jack the Drought continuously for days right until the latter used poison against them.
What's more, their trump card, the Sulong form sees them get several times stronger. According to Inuarashi, he was strong enough to deal with Jack with Sulong, even after losing a leg, had the calamity struck again.
4 Queen the Plague
Another one of Kaido's All-stars, Queen is a pirate who boasts a massive bounty of 1.3 billion berries. He's an extremely powerful pirate who has eaten the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus that allows him to transform into the a huge Brachiosaurus at will.
Moreover, he seems to be a specialist in using weapons and poisons, and a few of his deadly creations have been revealed to us already. He was powerful enough to survive a few blows by a nerfed Big Mom, which certainly says a lot about him, knowing what a beast Linlin truly is.
3 King The Wildfire
Kaido's strongest All-Star, King is the last surviving member of a race that no longer exists in the world of One Piece. He possesses a bounty that's, more likely than not, greater than 1.3 billion berries.
Like Queen, King has eaten the Ryu Ryu no Mi, although his model is the Pteranodon version which allows him to transform into the said beast. Although his strength isn't known yet, King was able to knock back Queen Mama Chanter off a waterfall in Wano, showing us a glimpse of his strength and speed.
2 Luffytaro
The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffytaro is the man who is the strongest person on the side of the Pirate-Ninja-Mink-Samurai alliance. He's proven to be an exceptional pirate already, having toppled the likes of Donquixote Doflamingo at Dressrosa, followed by Cracker and Katakuri at Whole Cake Island.
Luffy has already clashed against Kaido already, albeit lost terribly. However, he has, since then, trained quite a lot and improved his Haki tremendously in the process. It goes without saying that Luffytaro is one of the most fearsome people in Wano Country right now.
1 Kaido and Big Mom
The leader of the new 'Rocks', or the Kaido - Big Mom alliance both these Yonko possess strength that's great enough to see them take the first spot on this list. The captain of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido, boasts a bounty of 4.6 billion berries, while Linlin isn't too far behind at 4.3 billion berries.
At Onigashima, they fought each other for 12 hours straight and proved to be equal to each other. They're truly frightening and although some may argue that one is stronger than the other, the story leads us to believe that they're equal in strength, which is why they're joint number 1 on this list.
