00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the moments where a single
00:18One Piece character took on a large number of opponents.
00:34Leaky's brother makes quite the first impression.
00:37Portgas D. Ace reunites with his little bro in Alabasta.
00:46His more polite attitude strikes a contrast to Luffy, as does the fact that he serves
00:51under Whitebeard, the strongest pirate alive.
00:54He gets to show off just what one of Whitebeard's men is capable of when the crew is attacked
01:00by the Billions, members of Baroque Works.
01:09Instead of a massive sea battle, Ace simply hops onto his little ship, leaps over a row
01:14of the Billion ships, and destroys them all with a single fire fist.
01:19What a beast.
01:31Don Krieg and his huge fleet set sail for the Grand Line.
01:37East Blue's biggest pirate crew seemed set to make a splash in the pirate's paradise.
01:43However, everyone is shocked when they limp home battered and defeated.
02:00Luffy asks the first mate, Gin, what happened to them.
02:04Gin reveals that all 50 ships, barring Krieg's flagship, were destroyed by a single man,
02:10the warlord, Mihawk.
02:15As if that wasn't impressive enough, the world's strongest swordsman follows them
02:19back to East Blue to finish the job, slicing Krieg's last remaining ship into pieces.
02:27It's early in the series, but seeing a glimpse at the peak of what One Piece characters are
02:36capable of is great.
02:39Number 8 – Kaido vs. the Nine Red Scabbards
02:42Odin's retainers are eager to take their long-awaited revenge on their master's killer.
02:48The only problem is that their opponent is considered the world's strongest creature.
03:00Although the Scabbards put up a valiant effort and manage some superficial damage to Kaido,
03:06they still get wrecked.
03:08The Pirate Emperor cuts off arms and beats all of them into the ground with his club.
03:20Outnumbered or not, Kaido is both literally and figuratively a beast.
03:26And on land, sea or in the air, we always bet on Kaido.
03:37Well unless he's fighting the future Pirate King, of course.
03:40Number 7 – Doflamingo vs. G5
03:44When a rather large wrench is tossed into his plans, Doflamingo makes a beeline to Punk
03:49Hazard to take down the monkey that threw it.
04:02He's disappointed to find that Luffy and Law have left, and the only people remaining
04:11are the Marines of G5.
04:13That doesn't stop him from knocking out most of them with Conqueror's Haki though.
04:28While Dofi doesn't have to hesitate to slice up or puppeteer the rest, even a Vice
04:33Admiral like Smoker doesn't stand a chance.
04:47He may never stop smiling, but Doflamingo's fury is still terrifying to witness.
05:01Number 6 – Kizaru vs. Supernovas
05:04The Marines consider the Admirals to be their strongest forces for good reason.
05:10Before Kizaru's arrival on Zabari spells disaster for the rookie Pirates there.
05:24While many of them have incredible and downright broken Devil Fruit abilities, none of these
05:29Supernovas can stand against him.
05:42Kizaru kicks several of them at light speed and fills a few full of lasers.
05:47Even getting his body cut in half does nothing to slow Kizaru down.
05:58These Supernovas may be promising up-and-comers, but they're up against a veteran Marine
06:03who can flex all over them.
06:05Number 5 – GARP vs. Blackbeard Pirates
06:09Speaking of veteran Marines, the granddaddy of the organization, and of Luffy, is Monkey
06:15D. GARP.
06:27The man once considered the Pirate King's greatest Marine rival is rarely seen in action.
06:33But when his protégé, Kobe, is kidnapped by the Blackbeard Pirates, GARP arrives to
06:38save him in style.
06:50After GARP launches his ship into the middle of the island, he proceeds to send hundreds
06:55of pirates flying with an incredible Haki-infused punch.
07:14Once he lands, GARP is just as impressive, taking on his former student, Kuzan, and any
07:19other member of the Blackbeard Pirates that get in his way.
07:23He really lives up to the legend and the family name.
07:36Number 4 – Luffy Knocks Out the New Fish-Man Pirates
07:40When the Straw Hats squad up to rescue the royal family of Fish-Man Island from the New
07:45Fish-Man Pirates, the odds seem stacked against them.
07:49Even if they are stronger after the time skip, they're facing 100,000 opponents.
07:54But then, Hody Jones starts mouthing off about becoming Pirate King.
08:06A suitably furious Luffy wades into the middle of the charging Fish-Men and unleashes his
08:11Conqueror's Haki, knocking out half of the enemy forces.
08:24And since Hody can't do the same, he should forget about being Pirate King.
08:28Hody may have an army, but the Straw Hats have a Luffy.
08:36Number 3 – Zorro vs. 100 Bounty Hunters
08:40The crew's first island in the Grand Line is Whiskey Peak.
08:44Most of them pass out after celebrating with the surprisingly welcoming inhabitants.
08:49However, Zorro isn't fooled.
08:52The townspeople are all from Baroque Works, a bounty hunting organisation.
09:06As his crewmates sleep, Zorro decides to fight their enemies himself.
09:10He doesn't use brute force on all of them, instead fighting intelligently, using his
09:15environment and playing them against each other.
09:21It's a fun fight that feels like a more grounded mini-action movie.
09:28Granted, there's still plenty of wacky antics and a duck involved, but it still establishes
09:34why Zorro is a real beast, and second only to Luffy.
09:45Number 2 – Whitebeard's Last Stand
09:48Widely regarded as the world's strongest man, Whitebeard is sick and dying by the time
09:53of the Marineford War.
09:55But as he reminds the Marines, he's still Whitebeard.
10:07Sure he has a large crew of pirates backing him up, however there are so many moments
10:12throughout the war of Whitebeard just destroying everyone and everything that gets between
10:17him and his adopted son, Ace.
10:32From treating giants like they're fodder, to starting tsunamis, to turning the island
10:38nearly upside down, Whitebeard performs feat after impressive feat throughout.
10:54While the cumulative damage does take its toll, Whitebeard's final hours are still
11:30Number 1 – Luffy Solos Eni's Lobby
11:33When Robin is kidnapped and taken to Eni's Lobby, Luffy doesn't wait for his friends
11:38to go charging in.
11:46While they're still dealing with the front gate, Luffy goes on the warpath.
11:51Luffy proceeds to use his rubber fists to pummel everyone who gets between him and Robin,
11:56and he gets creative with it too.
11:59He controls his opponents like puppets.
12:01He turns buildings into volcanoes with his foot.
12:16In total, the island is staffed by 10,000 Marines and government agents, and Luffy beats
12:22up at least 1,000 of them, one in ten.
12:26It's the ultimate One Piece one-man army moment, just a rubber man against the world.
12:38Is there a one-versus-many One Piece fight we forgot?
