Portgas D. Ace 

                                                             

                                                                                 

Should be higher than at least Zoro, if this list was before the time skip... Ace, the fire fist which is one of the strongest charactersM+2

He should be higher on the list. His bounty is even higher than luffy's and he is for sure stronger than zoroM+1

Were talking about the guy with a bounty of 550,000,000 Berries, he also is intellegent and is one of the Commanders of the most powerful current pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates.M+3

Portgas D.Ace is one of the strongest characters

                                                                            Usopp

                                                                             

Usopp seems like a sissy most of the time, but still comes through when he's needed so I'd say he deserves some credit.M 

Why is Usopp above Smoker and Crocodile... Luffy had to try like 3 times to defeat Crocodile, not to mention that he was a shichibukai. Smoker is a navy vice admiral, Luffy wasn't able to defeat him the first few times.M 

Lol usopp above crocodile and smoker

                                                                              Sanji

                                                                                    

  I mean, really. Sanji is like the part of the main character in this show and he's still alive using only his legs for fighting. And he didn't eat the monster fruit. I know Zoro is strong, but somehow, I can't seen to like him...M+1

Sanji is one of the best fighter in one piece, he is a stronger than zoroM 

He is one of the strongest out of the Straw hat crew

                                                                                  

                                                                           

                                                                           Roronoa Zoro

                                                                               

                                                                                

 He is undoubtly someone who will be the best swordsman ever. His eyes can prove it. Even he's scary, his smile is kinda cool. His coolness matches with his position as co-captain and swordsman. For some reason, I think Zoro is the strongest crew in SHP. Only due to his unluckiness, he didn't meet the strongest opponent for every arcs.M+14

Zoro want to be the strongest swordsman, and that what make him strong. at the beginning, after Zoro faced Mihawk, he made a promise with Luffy that he will never loses again. And did he ever lose? NO... Zoro have a strong will and would do anything to keep that promise alive. To be honest, Zoro should have fought tougher enemies... But that maybe just me...M-1

I think zoro is stronger than luffy. Many only believes that luffy is stronger because he is the captain and that he always the one fighting the stronger enemy. Or we can say both of them are equal but still I vote for zoro. Haha it's just my opinion.M 

A great person who is going to be the most powerful sword fighter in the future 

                                                                            Monkey D. Luffy 

                                                                                        

As luffy is the main character he is bound to surpass all other characters. he has a lot of expectations from his family crew and himself. he can do any thing he wants cause he's awesome. Kind of reminds me of Naruto or NatsuM+15

Well we all know at the end who will be the pirate king I want his final battle to be with the garp shanks or fleet admiralM+10

He may not be the STRONGEST character in OP YET... But as a main protagonist we all know that he will surpass all characters and be the Pirate King. Aside from that, the stupidity of the whole STP makes the OP awesome.M+1

He is a bit fool but full of light ( I mean he is kind)
