The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock always handles herself with incredible confidence, which likely stems from her belief in herself. Hancock is a born leader and a conqueror, and that is precisely why she was able to become a very powerful pirate by the age of 18.

7 Big Mom

The Monstrous Calamity Turned Yonko

Big Mom was a monstrous force right from the get-go. In fact, her parents abandoned her because she was too much of a threat to anyone around them. Big Mom was simply way too powerful for anyone to contend with even when she was a child.

She defeated Jorul when she was five, and, ever since then, only went on to achieve great things. Eventually, Big Mom became one of the Yonko, which saw her fulfilling her potential as a conqueror.

6 Kaido

The Warmonger Yonko

The King of Beasts, Kaido was born in a wartorn country where he was used as a mercenary. Clearly, only the most traumatized children survive through something like this, and the fact that Kaido actively sought more even at that age is proof of the fact that he was attracted to the idea of strength and asserting his authority.

When he went on to journey across the world, his conqueror spirit grew and his charisma did as well. Undoubtedly, Oden was one of the most incredible characters in One Piece.

4 Blackbeard

The Scheming Yonko

Blackbeard is one of the end-game characters that Oda is going to focus on quite a lot in the Final Saga, and given his importance as an Emperor of the Sea, it’s no surprise for the fans to know that he possesses a tremendous conqueror’s spirit.

Blackbeard was a born conqueror and there is absolutely no denying that fact, even though he does not have Conqueror’s Haki at this point. Blackbeard laid out a careful plan and succeeded in pulling it off, which shows that he is a very shrewd individual.


3 Shanks

Roger’s Very Own Apprentice
