Gol D. Roger, nicknamed Pirate King, was a powerful, influential, and well-respected figure in the One Piece Universe. Throughout his journey, he faced monarchs who wanted to topple him and take his position away. Let’s look at the characters who are Gol D. Roger’s strongest enemies and evaluate their powers and victories.
Shiki
Shiki, AKA the Golden Lion, was the most powerful pirate king. He was famous for his unforgiving disposition, even higher than that of Gol D. Roger. Apart from being the size of an athlete and having the skills of a swordsman, Shiki also possessed the powers of the devil fruit, Fuwa Fuwa no Mi.
The devil fruit allowed him to go in the air and control things with his mind; that, paired with his calculative abilities, made him a dangerous opponent. Shiki’s skills were on par with Roger’s, making him one of his strongest enemies.
Sengoku
Sengoku, who used to be the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, was a sworn enemy of Gol D. Roger. He demonstrated his strength and endurance by withstanding unbelievable trauma as a highly skilled fighter and a user of the Human-Human Fruit: Buddha model. Not only does his Devil Fruit allow him to become a giant, but he also releases shockwaves with terrible consequences. This fortifies Sengoku’s position as one of Roger’s most formidable foes.
Big Mom
The first of the four Emperors of the Sea, Charlotte Linlin, better known as Big Mom, is a formidable opponent in the One Piece universe. As the owner of the Paramecia type devil fruit Soru Soru no Mi, she has a lot of strength and can control souls. Being able to generate and command her ‘homies’ paired with her monstrous size makes her an absolute terror in battle. Big Mom is also one of the Yonko. As a result, she has ambitions of conquering the world. Paired with her conflict with the crew of Straw Hats, she testifies as one of Roger’s most powerful enemies.
Monkey D. Garp
Monkey D. Garp – the famous Marine Vice Admiral with exceptional strength and fighting skills – is a character like no other. In addition to the physical combat, Garp is a great tactical fighter. The skills allow him to change the course of the battle by parrying every blow that Roger makes. His skills in Haki, notably the Haoshoku Haki, act as an enhancer and further underline his abilities. Garp’s grudge against Roger and his reputation as one of the most powerful and law-abiding people among the Marines makes them mortal enemies in One Piece.
Whitebeard
Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard, was one of the Four Emperors. He was observed as one of the mightiest characters in the One Piece universe. Whitebeard had the strength of all gods and could cause Earthquakes. He did so by using his Devil Fruit power, the Gura Gura no Mi. He was also the master of all three forms of Haki and was very strategic. These abilities made him stronger than Gol D. Roger. The confrontation between Whitebeard and Roger in the Golden Age of Piracy rendered Whitebeard one of Roger’s mightiest adversaries.
