One Piece: Child Geniuses, Ranked

One Piece has an incredible array of characters and fans have followed the journeys of many from the beginning to where they are right now. Among these incredible characters, there are many who can be classified as geniuses from the get-go.

These geniuses have, in one way or another, made a great name for themselves at a very young age, or, they simply have accomplished incredible things as kids. Among a plethora of geniuses in One Piece, only a few stand out as the very best.

9 Kuina

Beat Zoro 2001 Times

When it comes to sword fighter prodigies, Kuina is certainly one of the very best in the series. In fact, she was so good that she could actually have become the world’s greatest swordsman had she lived. Kuina might just be a plot device for Zoro’s story to move forward, however, the potential that this character carried was unmatched.

She defeated Zoro 2001 times in combat, showcasing that she was superior to him in every single way and fans already know how skilled Zoro himself is.

8 Sabo

Could Beat Giant Animals As A Kid

Sabo was a Noble living in the Goa Kingdom at one point, however, he abandoned that life to live with Luffy and Ace. While Luffy wasn’t all that skilled, Sabo was certainly exceptional.

He could fight off adults twice his size and beat down animals that could potentially kill dozens. Sabo had great skills as a fighter and this is clear from the ASL flashback that fans have seen in the story.

7 Portgas D. Ace

Strongest Of The ASL Trio

Born as the son of Roger, it was no surprise for the fans to see that Ace was skilled right from the get-go. Out of the three ASL Brothers, Ace was certainly the most talented and skilled one.

He was also the strongest and could take down many adults in a fight even before the age of 10. Ace also unlocked the power of Conqueror’s Haki by this age and that shows how skilled he truly was.

6 Boa Hancock

A Child Prodigy of Kuja

Boa Hancock is a character that many in the One Piece world deem to be a prodigy. She is the current Empress of Amazon Lily, however, fans know that even before the age of 12, Hancock was incredibly skilled, so much so that she was already making preparations to join the Kuja Pirates as a kid.

Being a Kuja, Hancock was a user of Haki from her early days and, at the same time, she had already become a reputed pirate captain by the age of 18, receiving a bounty of 80 million berries after just a single voyage and gaining the title of Shichibukai as well.

5 The Vinsmokes

Child Monsters Created By Judge

The Vinsmoke Siblings were a product of genetic manipulation led by Judge. Except for Sanji, every single sibling was incredibly talented and powerful.

Sad as it may sound, these kids were war machines and could take down cities by themselves. Their bodies were incredibly resilient and the things that they could pull off at a young age just went on to show the limitless potential that they carried.

4 Kaido

Mercenary As A Child

Born in the Vodka Kingdom, Kaido was certainly a child prodigy. He appears to belong to some unknown race, which might be related to the Oni in the One Piece world. His strength was such that his country often used him as a mercenary, however, they also sold him to the Navy at the first chance they got to gain benefits from them.

Kaido eventually became a pirate and acquired a bounty of 70 million berries at a very young age. He continued to grow in strength and also ended up joining the Rocks Pirates. Kaido is certainly one of the strongest child prodigies in One Piece.

3 Kozuki Oden

The Prodigal Son Of Wano

When it comes to skilled children, few can be described as being on the same level as Oden. Fans know him to be a monster right from birth. He could do incredible things, such as throwing his wet nurse to the ground right when he was born.

He could kill a bear by the age of one, beat up Yakuza, and join pleasure houses before even hitting the age of 10. Oden managed to master both Enma and Ame no Habakiri before the age of 12 and that just goes to show how skilled a genius he truly was.

2 Jewelry Bonney

Became A Member Of The Worst Generation At 10

Bonney is an incredibly talented character who fans recently found out is actually just 12 years old at the moment. Before the timeskip, she was just 10 and she was actually around the age of 9 when she managed to defeat a member of the CP8.

Bonney became a member of the Worst Generation at the age of 10, which is absolutely staggering. In fact, for a 10-year-old to have a 140 million beri bounty is unprecedented in the world of One Piece and just goes to show how much potential this character carries.

1 Charlotte Linlin

Born Monstrously Powerful

When it comes to child geniuses in One Piece, Linlin certainly stands at the very top. She was born as an anomaly and her parents abandoned her quickly. It didn’t take fans long to figure out her monstrous strength knew absolutely no bounce.

Even though Linlin meant well, she could easily kill someone with a single tap of her hand. On her 6th birthday, she ate all her friends as well as Mother Carmel. From there onwards, she became a pirate and received a bounty of 50 million berries almost immediately. In the few years to come, likely around the age of 10, Linlin already had a 500 million beri bounty, which shows how skilled she truly was and it isn’t a surprise for the fans to know that the Navy believed she had the potential to become the Fleet Admiral even before she ate her Devil Fruit.
