One Piece: 7 Strongest Characters Born In The Grand Line

• Of the One Piece characters born in the Grand Line, who are the strongest?

The Grand Line is a strip of the ocean in the One Piece world with great importance. Located near the equator of the earth, it is separated from the Four Blues by two strips of Calm Belt on each side. It is also divided into two parts, thanks to the Red Line.

7. Jinbe

Also known as the First Son of the Sea, Jinbe is a renowned pirate from Fishman Island. He has served as a member of the Sun Pirates, and later, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Before joining up with Luffy, Jinbe was allied with Big Mom, and Whitebeard prior to her.

He's acquired a bounty of 438 million Berries over the years, meaning he's quite a menacing pirate. His influence in the One Piece world is recognized even by the Navy and the Yonko.

6. Kin'emon 

"Foxfire" Kin'emon was born in Wano Country, a place located in the New World half of the Grand Line. Kin'emon's life was impacted greatly by Kozuki Oden, one of the greatest men in the One Piece world.
Being his first retainer, Kin'emon is the leader of the Akazaya Nine and one of the most powerful Samurai from the land. He's powerful enough to hurt Kaido and pierce through his skin, which is quite a feat in itself.

5. Ryuma

Known as the Sword God, Shimotsuki Ryuma is said to be one of the greatest swordsmen in the One Piece world. He was born in the Land of Wano, where he made an incredible name for himself.

Ryuma is known to have sliced a dragon effortlessly, among many other acts that are just as great or better. He was also a great user of Haki, as evident from the fact that he turned Shusui into a Black Blade.

4. Kozuki Oden

Oden is arguably  greatest that the land of Wano. He's a man who was capable of charming the likes of Whitebeard and Roger and was an integral part of both of their crews.

Oden's strength is known to have been immense as he fought against the likes of Whitebeard and even Roger. In his prime, he was able to injure Kaido and nearly kill him in battle as was revealed in the Wano arc. A man such as himself was certainly great enough to rank among the strongest from the Grand Line.

3. Charlotte Linlin

Also known as Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin is one of the Yonko of the Sea in the One Piece world and the ruler of Totland. Although it isn't known where exactly she was born, her parents dropped her off at Elbaf at quite a young age, where she was raised by Carmel.

As she grew up, Linlin only got stronger and ended up becoming one of the strongest pirates in the entire world. Currently, she holds a bounty of 4,388,000,000 Berries, which is second only to Kaido's bounty.

2. Shirahoshi

Shirahoshi is the Mermaid Princess of Fishman Island, but more importantly, the Ancient Weapon known as Poseidon. Although her powers were dormant until recently, they were awakened during the Fishman Island arc of One Piece, making her arguably the strongest character in the world.

As Poseidon, she has command over all the Sea Kings and is known to have enough power to destroy the entire world if she wishes to.

1. Edward Newgate

Also known as Whitebeard, Edward Newgate was one of the mightiest pirates in the One Piece world. He served as one of the Four Emperors of the Sea and prior to that, ruled the seas with Roger and Shiki.

In terms of power, Newgate was considered an equal to even Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, but what's even more impressive is the fact that his own strength was enough to destroy the entire world, making him comparable to an Ancient Weapon in itself.
