[One Piece] A thorough look at the powers of the Four Emperors!!

One Piece is a hugely popular pirate-themed manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. It depicts the adventures of a young boy named Luffy and his companions as they strive to become the Pirate King, battling all manner of foes. Furthermore, in the New World, four powerful pirates, known as the Four Emperors, claim territory and rule it. This article will introduce the details and abilities of these Four Emperors, who reign supreme in the world of One Piece.

Red-Haired Shanks

Who is Red-Haired Shanks?

Red-Haired Shanks is one of the current Four Emperors. As his nickname suggests, he is characterized by his red hair and a scar over his left eye that he sustained in a battle with Marshall D. Teach, another current member of the Four Emperors. He serves as captain of the Red Hair Pirates and wields a saber.

He also lost his left arm while trying to protect Luffy from a sea king. He has a generally cheerful personality and loves to share drinks with his crew. However, he also shows a caring side, showing anger when his crewmates are hurt.

Also, the straw hat Luffy is wearing originally belonged to Shanks, who inherited it from Gold Roger.

Red-Haired Shanks' abilities are still unknown. Given that he's in the ocean in the first episode of One Piece, it's unlikely he's a Devil Fruit user, but the possibility that he may have become one later on cannot be ruled out. Shanks also has the ability to use Conqueror's Haki. Using Conqueror's Haki, he can even attack Logia-type users.

Big Mom

Big Mom is a giant female pirate named Charlotte Linlin. She has pink hair, a large body, and many children. Charlotte Linlin serves as captain of the Big Mom Pirates, and the crew is notable for being made up of many of her sons and grandsons.

Charlotte Linlin loves sweets and is always eating some kind of sweet. She also suffers from an eating craving, a condition that causes her to go berserk if she doesn't eat something she's craving. In the story, she goes berserk after getting an eating craving in order to eat a wedding cake.

Big Mom, also known as Charlotte Linlin, is the user of the Soru-Soul Fruit. This ability allows her to strip away the souls of her opponents. She can also infuse these souls into other objects, allowing her to create living sweets and other creatures.

He also controls a hat named Napoleon, which he created by imbuing his soul with, a sun named Prometheus, and a lightning-generating cloud named Zeus, all of which are powerful attacks.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard's real name is Marshall D. Teach, and he was formerly a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. He left the Whitebeard Pirates after killing Thatch, the captain of the Fourth Division, who had obtained the Yami Yami no Mi. He later formed the Blackbeard Pirates and served as their captain. He is characterized by his black beard and large physique, and is said to have a unique physical appearance, although details are still unknown. However, evidence of this is that he survived even possessing two Devil Fruit powers.

Blackbeard's Ability Part 1

Blackbeard, also known as Marshall D. Teach, is a user of the Yami Yami no Mi. The power of the Yami Yami no Mi allows him to attract and absorb anything. It also allows him to summon Devil Fruit users nearby. Furthermore, if he is captured by Blackbeard, he will lose the ability to use his Devil Fruit, making him the possessor of one of the most powerful abilities. However, the power of the Yami Yami no Mi also attracts all attacks, making him vulnerable to them.

Blackbeard stole the power of the Gura Gura no Mi from Whitebeard during the Battle of Marineford.
As a result, he can use the powers of the Yami Yami no Mi to create earthquakes with the power of the Gura Gura no Mi. This means he has the power to both attack with earthquakes and seal opponents' abilities, making him incredibly powerful.

Kaido of the Beasts

Kaido of the Beasts' exact real name is still unknown, but he is a giant-sized pirate named Kaido. He possesses a sturdy body that survives even a suicide attempt by jumping off Sky Island. His strength is so great that Kaido would be the strongest opponent of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in a one-on-one battle. Kaido serves as the captain of the Beast Pirates and is primarily based in the Land of Wano.

Kaido is believed to be a Devil Fruit user, but the type of Devil Fruit is unknown. However, as the captain of the Beast Pirates and all of his crew members are Zoan Devil Fruit users, it's likely that he himself possesses some rare Zoan Devil Fruit.

Summary

This time, we've introduced the Four Emperors, who reign supreme in the New World of One Piece. The Four Emperors are fierce warriors, with bounties likely exceeding one billion, and some even have subordinates with bounties exceeding one billion. Furthermore, given that each of them commands numerous territories and pirate groups, it's safe to say that the path to becoming one of the Four Emperors is a difficult one. There's no doubt that they will play a major role in the One Piece story going forward, and they may even be the final boss, so keep an eye out for future developments.
