Strongest Members Of One Piece’s D. Clan

Highlights

• The “D” initial in a person’s name signifies their membership in the powerful and influential D clan in One Piece, who are considered enemies of the Gods.
• Members of the Nefertari royal family, such as Titi, Cobra, Lily, and Vivi, all bear the “D” initial in their names, indicating their connection to the Void Century and the overarching plot of the series.
• The D clan members, such as Rouge and Ace, possess tremendous willpower and strength, with Rouge demonstrating the ability to hold Ace in her womb for 20 months and Ace rising to become the Second Division Commander of Whitebeard’s crew.

One Piece’s author, Eiichiro Oda has woven the world to be full of mysteries and the Will of D is certainly one of them. Although quite rare, a few people in the One Piece world possess the letter “D” in their names.

The letter is believed to be a name that has been passed down for generations but sadly, the truth behind it hasn’t been revealed in the story just yet. The people of the D are also known to be “the enemies of the Gods,” making them some of the most influential and powerful characters in the story.

Updated on February 17, 2024, by Rei Penber: The D Clan is known to be the most important family in One Piece as it has ties to the Void Century and, by extension, the overarching plot of the entire series. Many important individuals from the D Family have emerged over the years and fans have seen them perform some incredible acts of resistance. While not all members of the D family are strong, many of them possess tremendous strength up their sleeve. This list already goes over all the members of the D Family, and, now, their strongest feats have been added. As such, this list has now been updated.

14 Nefertari D. Titi

Nefertari Titi was the mother of Vivi and the wife of King Cobra of the Kingdom of Arabasta. Although very little is known about Queen Titi, fans already know that she was a part of the Nefertari Family as well.

This automatically makes her a part of the D clan and, thus, she bears the initial D in her name as well. Sadly, Titi did not end up playing any serious role in the series. In the future, Oda might reveal bits about her through Vivi when the Straw Hat Crew finally interacts with her once again.

Titi’s D. Revelation

As with all the other cases of the Nefertari Family, Titi’s D. revelation also came in chapter 1085 of One Piece. While it wasn’t explicitly stated that she was a member of the D clan, the fact that she belongs to the Nefertari Family, all of whom have the D initial in their names and belong to this clan, is proof enough.

Titi’s Biggest Strength Feat

Fans do not know much about Nefertari Titi and, as a result, no major feats for her can be given. That said, she was likely an admirable woman who raised Vivi very well.

13 Nefertari D. Cobra

Nefertari Cobra was the sovereign of the Kingdom of Arabasta until recently. He was believed to be one of the most generous and thoughtful Kings to ever live, and even the likes of Dragon sang praises of him. After reading the texts left behind by his own family members of the distant past, Cobra realized that he was actually a part of the D Family as well.

His true name is Nefertari D. Cobra and he is surely among the characters who lit up the flames of revolution in the current timeline of the One Piece world. Sadly, Cobra ended up dying after his meeting with the Five Elders, where he also saw Imu, the sovereign of the world. He made his true identity public and he then proceeded to sacrifice himself so that Sabo could escape.

Cobra’s D. Revelation

Cobra’s D. clan revelation came in One Piece chapter 1085 after he spoke to Imu for the very first time. Cobra was utterly stunned by the fact that Imu presented themselves before him and shortly afterwards, Imu even pointed out the fact that they knew that Cobra was hiding the true name of his royal family from them.

Realizing that there was no way out of the situation, Cobra ended up implying the fact that he also bears the initial D in his name.

Cobra’s Biggest Strength Feat

Cobra was never known to be a fighter and fans are sure of the fact that despite him being the best monarch in the series, he certainly was not good at engaging in combat. That said, the biggest feat that he displayed was defeating the kidnappers who took on the Sand Sand Band.

12 Nefertari D. Lily

Nefertari D. Lily is a character that existed long ago in the One Piece world during the time of the Void Century. She was the ruler of the land of Arabasta back then and, by the looks of it, one of the most influential characters around the time of the Great War. It appears that Nefertari D. Lily was on the side of the Ancient Kingdom, yet she posed to be on the side of the World Government for some reason.

Eventually, she spread the Poneglyphs all over the world and wrote a letter to her brother, who ended up taking the throne of Arabasta following her untimely demise. Lily gave up her life for the sake of the Dawn that would eventually be brought by Joy Boy in the future.

Lily’s D. Revelation

Nefatary D. Lily was also revealed to be a member of the D. Clan in the same chapter as Cobra and Vivi. Initially, Cobra did not want to reveal the fact that Lily had a D. in her name. However, Imu was already aware of the existence of this fact. When Cobra mentioned Lily, Imu asked him to speak the truth of the matter and not hide the fact that she had a D in her name from him.

Cobra, realizing that he had no way around the situation, ended up revealing this fact and that is how fans finally found out that Lily was a D and that the Nefertari royal family all have the D initial in their names.

Lily’s Biggest Strength Feat

Lily existed long ago in the Void Century and, because of that, fans do not know what exactly her biggest feat was, or even how strong she was. What fans do know for a fact is that she was the one responsible for spreading the Poneglyphs all over the world.

11 Portgas D. Rouge

Portgas D. Rouge was the lover of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and the mother of Portgas D. Ace. Roger spent his last year with Rouge and during which Ace was conceived.

Due to the World Government trying to end Roger’s bloodline, Rouge had to hold Ace in his womb for 20 months, which was a feat she miraculously pulled of, likely because of her incredible willpower. When Ace was born, Rouge died immediately after, and Ace was taken care of by Garp.

Rouge’s D Revelation

Just like every D, Rouge played a very important role in the story. She was introduced in the story in Chapter 550. Rouge didn’t hide her D initial by the looks of it as Sengoku openly announced her full name to the entire world.

Rouge’s Biggest Strength Feat

Rouge was an incredible woman who fans know to possess tremendous willpower. Given that willpower equates to Haki, one can imagine her Haki to be very powerful. In fact, she was able to hold Ace in her womb for 20 months, which is nothing short of staggering. All this was down to her powerful Haki and this is an immense feat.

10 Nefertari D. Vivi

Vivi is a member of the Nefertari Family that has ruled Arabasta for over 800 years now. This family has been key to maintaining peace in Arabasta and, at the same time, they also appear to be allies of the Ancient Kingdom, despite having possibly fought against them at one point.

They protected one of the Poneglyphs and hid the secret of the Ancient Kingdom for quite a long time. It was recently revealed to the fans that the royal family that rules Arabasta actually bear the initial of D in their names, which means Vivi is also a member of the D clan.

Vivi’s D. Revelation

Vivi’s D revelation came very recently in the story, specifically, in One Piece chapter 1085. This revelation was made through an exchange between Imu and Cobra, although both were aware of this fact long before it was even revealed to the fans.

Vivi’s Biggest Strength Feat

Vivi is quite a powerful fighter herself and fans know that she can hold her own when needed. Her biggest feat is the fact that she was able to rise to the rank of Frontier Agent within the Baroque Works. She also uses Karoo in combat alongside her Peacock Slashers, which makes her quite strong.

9 Jaguar D. Saul

Introduced in Nico Robin’s flashback in the Enies Lobby arc of One Piece, Jaguar D. Saul was a Vice-Admiral of the Marines once. Although loyal to the World Government once, Saul started to have his doubts after hearing about the fate of the researchers of Ohara.

Eventually, Saul helped Nico Olivia escape and abandoned his position as a Vice-Admiral as well. Saul knew very little about the people of the D, but he knew that his family had carried this name for generations. Eventually, Saul was killed by Aokiji on Ohara.

Saul’s D Revelation

Jaguar D. Saul made his introduction to the story in Chapter 392. He introduced himself to Robin as “Jaguar D. Saul,” meaning he didn’t hide the D in his name. Saul didn’t have any information on what it meant, however.

Saul’s Biggest Strength Feat

Saul was a Vice admiral of the Navy and, by default, this gives him access to Armament and Observation Haki. He was able to destroy the battleships of the Marines and that is likely his biggest strength feat.

8 Portgas D. Ace

The son of the Pirate King, Portgas D. Ace was born on Baterilla in the South Blue. Immediately after his birth, Ace was taken in by Garp and then raised by Dadan and her bandit group. Ace grew up with Luffy and Sabo and became extremely powerful with time.

Pursuing freedom and the meaning of living a life without regrets, Ace set out to sea and immediately made a name for himself. Under Whitebeard’s protection, Ace rose to the position of the Second Division Commander of the crew and had his strength acknowledged by the likes of Shanks himself.

Ace’s D Revelation

Portgas D. Ace was Luffy’s brother and he made his debut towards the end of the Drum Island arc in Chapter 154. He wasn’t revealed to be a D member until Chapter 157, where he met Smoker in Alabasta, who referred to him using his full name.

Ace’s Biggest Strength Feat

Ace possessed tremendous strength up his sleeve and he had the power to utilize all three Haki types, along with his powerful Devil Fruit. His biggest feat was to injure Blackbeard greatly, and fighting Jinbe and Whitebeard back-to-back, without any break, while beating the former.

7 Trafalgar D. Water Law

One of the members of the Worst Generation, Trafalgar Law was born in a town named Flevance in the North Blue. Due to the Amber Lead Disease, the entire population of the town was massacred, leaving him as the only survivor. Law was saved by Corazon and learned about the D being the enemies of the Gods.

Law trained for his entire life to take Doflamingo down and he accomplished this goal with time. Currently, he’s strong enough to fight against the likes of the Yonko.

Law’s D. Revelation

Law being a member of the D clan was a big surprise for every One Piece fan. Although he always seemed interested in the D. name, it wasn’t until Chapter 763 in the Dressrosa arc that his hidden name was finally revealed. Law kept it a secret for the longest time and even now, very few people know about it.

Law’s Biggest Strength Feat

Law has matured greatly over the years. His biggest feat is using Puncture Wille on Big Mom and breaking several of her bones using this ability, all the while creating a giant hole through Onigashima, all the way down to the Wano mainland, and to the underground volcano.

6 Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy is the protagonist of the series and he belongs to the Monkey D. family. Luffy cares very little about the D and the mystery surrounding the clan, however, he is on the path to find out the true history anyway.

As a pirate, Luffy has gone from strength to strength and become an incredible figure in the current era. He is powerful enough to take on the likes of Kaido in battle, which goes to show how far he has come.

Luffy’s D. Revelation

Unsurprisingly, Luffy being a D was never a secret. From the very first chapter, Luffy introduced himself as “Monkey D. Luffy” and he continued doing so on every opportunity that he gets, even to this day.

Luffy’s Biggest Strength Feat

By far, Luffy’s biggest strength feat is defeating Kaido and creating an island-sized fist coated with Conquerors and Armament Haki.

5 Monkey D. Dragon

The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon is one of the biggest figures in the One Piece world. Concerned with bringing down the Celestial Dragons of the world, Dragon aims to fight for the sake of justice and freedom.

As the leader of one of the biggest organizations, Monkey D. Dragon also possesses tremendous strength. He’s considered to be among the elites of the world and his No. 2, Sabo, is strong enough to hold his own against an Admiral.

Dragon’s D. Revelation

Unlike Luffy, Monkey D. Dragon’s name was kept hidden by Oda for quite a while. He made his first appearance in Chapter 100 of the story where he saved Luffy from Smoker. While Smoker did use his name, he never mentioned the family name or the D. in his title. His full name was eventually revealed by Monkey D. Garp in Chapter 432.

Dragon’s Biggest Strength Feat

Dragon hasn’t done anything significant in One Piece so far. His biggest strength feat is likely using the lightning bolt to save Luffy from his execution.

4 Marshall D. Teach

The captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, Marshall D. Teach is a fearsome pirate who ranks among the Yonko of the One Piece world.

Blackbeard is extremely powerful, capable of holding his own against the other Yonko. In the Grudge War, he crushed the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates with ease and established himself as a fearsome pirate for good.

Teach’s D. Revelation

Teach was introduced during the Jaya arc of One Piece and he didn’t attempt to hide his family name or his initials. Teach was introduced in the story in Chapter 223, however, his name was revealed in Chapter 234.

Teach’s Biggest Strength Feat

Teach is an incredible individual and he has crushed many powerful pirates over the years. His biggest feat so far is defeating Trafalgar Law in combat.

3 Rocks D. Xebec

Known to be Roger’s most formidable enemy, Rocks D. Xebec was the captain of the Rocks Pirates. Around 40 years ago, he ruled the seas of the One Piece world all alone and had the likes of Edward Newgate, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and even Shiki under him.

Rocks acted like a terrorist and directly opposed the World Government, something that was unheard of at the time. Eventually, he fell at the hands of Garp and Roger, who combined to take down the Rocks Pirates.

Rocks’ D. Revelation

Very little is known about Rocks D. Xebec currently. The only proper mention of his name came through Sengoku in Chapter 957 of the story, where his full name was revealed to the fans. Rocks never attempted to hide being a D member, as far as what fans know so far.

Rocks’s Biggest Strength Feat

Rocks was an incredibly powerful individual. Unfortunately, fans do not know any of his feats. What they do know is that Roger and Garp had to put their strength together to defeat him in combat.

2 Monkey D. Garp

Monkey D. Garp is one of the few people of the D who work for the Navy. Garp is a Vice-Admiral of the Navy and although he could’ve easily become an Admiral, he chose not to, simply because he hates the Celestial Dragons.

Garp is incredibly powerful and known to be the strongest Marine of all time. He is one of the very few men who were strong enough to hold their own against Pirate King Roger and earn his praise.

Garp’s D. Revelation

Monkey D. Garp was introduced quite early in the series during the “Diary of Koby-Meppo” cover story, however, his full name wasn’t revealed to the fans until Chapter 432 of the story where he arrived in Water 7 to meet Luffy.

Garp’s Biggest Strength Feat

Garp has achieved a lot as a powerful marine. He was able to hold his own against Roger and that in itself is an incredible feat. When it comes to strength, in the Final Saga Garp showcased Conqueror’s Haki strong enough to destroy an entire town with Galaxy Impact.

1 Gol D. Roger

The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger was certainly one of the very strongest people in the One Piece world, if not the strongest. Roger and his crew are some of the few people who found out the true history of the world after reaching the Final Island, Laugh Tale.

In terms of strength, Roger was an absolute monster, capable of defeating Rocks Pirates with Garp’s help. The only person capable of tying a battle with Roger was Whitebeard, and he did it when Roger was suffering from a terminal illness that weakened him quite a lot.

Roger’s D. Revelation

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was introduced to the fans in the very first chapter. Interestingly, he was called Gold Roger by everyone as the World Government was actively trying to keep his D. lineage a secret. During the Drum Island arc, in Chapter 154, his full name and the D. initial was revealed to everyone.

Roger’s Biggest Strength Feat

Roger was the strongest pirate during his own era and his biggest feat is to conquer the Grand Line and surpass all pirates, such as Whitebeard, and Shiki, among others, despite being terminally ill. It must also be noted that he fought a battle with Whitebeard, who had access to the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit capable of destroying the world, all with his Haki alone.

Furthermore, he was already terminally ill when this battle was fought and, despite all that, it ended up being a draw, which is a testament to the level of skill that he possessed.
