Embark on a journey through the intricate mysteries surrounding the Four Emperors in the illustrious manga/anime realm of One Piece. Over a thousand chapters deep, the most potent secrets of these formidable pirates are about to be laid bare by One Piece World in the following narrative.
Blackbeard – The Mightiest Man in the World
Blackbeard, also known as Marshall D. Teach, stands among the mightiest of the Four Emperors in One Piece. Possessor of the Yami Yami no Mi, one of the unparalleled Logia-type Devil Fruits, he can manipulate the power of darkness with unparalleled might. The Yami Yami no Mi not only grants him control over the abyssal forces of darkness but also the ability to absorb other Devil Fruits and release their powers at will.
Seizing the opportunity after Whitebeard’s demise, Blackbeard claimed the Gura Gura no Mi, assuming the mantle of a Four Emperor. Despite a bounty of 2,247,600,000 Beli, some argue that Blackbeard may not be worthy due to others having bounties exceeding 4 billion Beli. However, the possession of two immensely powerful Devil Fruits elevates Blackbeard’s status, positioning him as a contender for the ultimate throne in One Piece, directly challenging Luffy for the title of Pirate King.
Kaido – The Mightiest Creature in the World
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors in One Piece, captains the Beasts Pirates and is notorious as “Kaido of the Hundred Beasts.” Owning an army of artificial Zoan Devil Fruit users, Kaido is arguably the strongest among the Four Emperors in One Piece. In terms of personality, Kaido is a bellicose and ruthless captain, having survived 18 tortures and 40 failed suicide attempts.
Kaido harbors an intense hatred for Whitebeard, and during the Marineford battle, he pursued Whitebeard relentlessly, only to be thwarted by Shanks. Presently, Kaido is a formidable antagonist, serving as Luffy’s primary adversary in the Wano arc. The true extent of Kaido’s strength remains unrevealed, with readers only aware of his ability to transform into a colossal dragon and unleash colossal energy spheres to obliterate his foes.

Big Mom – The World’s Sweet-Toothed Woman
Big Mom, one of the recently appointed Four Emperors in One Piece, is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates. Infamous for her insatiable sweet tooth, she possesses a massive stature, wrinkled countenance, and an expansive mouth. Big Mom’s voracious appetite extends to the point where she can consume subordinates when hungry. Capable of annihilating a nation if denied sweets, she detests spicy foods and unwelcome guests.
Regarding strength, Big Mom is considered the weakest among the current Four Emperors in One Piece. Despite her formidable appearance and a high bounty, she falls slightly behind her counterparts. Additionally, Big Mom’s strength is highly contingent on her emotions, revealing significant vulnerabilities. Notably, in the Whole Cake Island arc, without the assistance of her children, she might have succumbed to Luffy’s group’s plan.

Shanks – The Most Mysterious Man in the World
Shanks, a Four Emperor in One Piece, bears the epithet “Red-Haired Shanks” and captains the Red-Haired Pirates. Not possessing any Devil Fruit powers, Shanks lost his left arm while rescuing Luffy from a Sea King. It was Shanks who discovered the Gomu Gomu no Mi, inadvertently leading to Luffy consuming it. Shanks’ visage is adorned with three scars inflicted by Blackbeard.
Shanks is esteemed to be even mightier than Blackbeard, as evidenced by pushing him back during the Marineford battle. Following this encounter, Blackbeard sustained injuries after assassinating Whitebeard and foolishly engaged both the Navy and Shanks. Shanks is renowned for his easygoing demeanor but harbors an uncompromising stance against those who harm his friends.
Additionally, Shanks is notorious for setting unconventional bets. Legend has it that when Red-Haired Shanks sought Whitebeard as an ally, Whitebeard immediately disbanded his crew. Shanks relinquished his Four Emperor status as a wager when Shanks was presumed dead.
