One Piece features special weapons called Meito or Named Swords, which are crafted by talented swordsmiths. Named Swords have different grades, with Saijo O Wazamono being the highest, and Wazamono the lowest. But among these powerful weapons, just which ones are the strongest — and who wields them?
Updated November 30, 2023, by Suzail Ahmad:One Piece characters do not shy away from using different kinds of weapons to overwhelm their opponents. Normal weapons do not offer any special powers to their wielders. However, special weapons such as Meito are different. Not only do they increase the damage output, but sometimes they also grant special abilities. Naturally, these weapons are highly sought after. Throughout One Piece, fans have seen many Meito and witnessed their incredible power. These swords are wielded by the best characters, as they require a certain level of skill. With that in mind, here are the strongest swords in One Piece.
23 Napoleon
- Debut: Episode 571
- Grade: Unknown
Napoleon was a homie created by Big Mom. He was special because Big Mom had used part of her own soul to create him. For the majority of the time, Napoleon remained in his hat form, only transforming when needed. Unlike a regular sword, Napoleon does not have a fixed shape. He has the ability to change into different types of swords.
Depending on Big Mom’s needs, he can morph into a cutlass, longsword, or gladius. Some of Big Mom’s strongest attacks required the use of Napoleon, which shows his strength as a weapon. Napoleon does not have a grade, but there is no denying that he is a powerful blade.
Napoleon is ranked lowest as he is not an ordinary weapon.
22 Shirauo
- Debut: Episode 786
- Grade: Unknown
Shirauo is a nodachi wielded by Amande of the Big Mom Pirates. The sword is much bigger than normal blades and its sheer size is enough to frighten opponents.
As a Meito, Shirauo has superior cutting power to other swords. Amande was able to use Shirauo to cut through Kingbaum’s dense and rigid body. The most astounding thing is that Amande didn’t even have to use any speed. Amande can alter her style depending on her opponent. Since the sword does not offer any special abilities, it ranks rather low on the list.
21 Soto Muso
- Debut: Episode 948
- Grade: Unknown
Soto Muso is Kawamatsu’s sword. It has been with the Kappa ever since his childhood. He purchased the sword with the money that Yasuie gave him. With time, Kawamatsu grew fond of the sword and used it to develop his Kappa Style.

Soto Muso was created in Wano, which means its build quality is much higher than other swords. Kawamatsu used it to take multiple members of the Beasts Pirates and the sword showed no signs of damage. He also used Soro Muso to damage Kaido, but he could not cause any significant injury to the Yonko.
20 Fujitora
- Debut: Episode 630
- Grade: Unknown
Fujitora is a Marine Admiral, who was selected during the World Military Draft. He was introduced in the Dressrosa arc, where he clashed against the Straw Hat Pirates and Sabo. Fujitora possesses the Zushi Zushi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. It allows him to control the power of gravity, making him a dangerous opponent.
Fujitora also carries a sword and often uses it with his Devil Fruit. The grade of his sword remains unknown, but considering the fact that he is an Admiral, it would make sense for him to have Meito in his possession. Oda may reveal the name and grade of Fujitora’s sword in the future.
19 Kikoku
-1.jpg)
- Debut: Episode 392
- Grade: Unknown
Kikoku is the sword of Trafalgar Law, who is one of the most notable members of the Worst Generation. It is a cursed sword, but its grade is unknown. It is unclear when Law acquired the sword, but it was sometime before he made his debut in the series. Law is not a typical swordsman who solely relies on his sword skills to fight; instead, he incorporates his devil fruit with it.
On many occasions, Law has used Kikoku to slice his opponents, but only when they are inside a ROOM. Law used Kikoku with his devil fruit awakening to defeat Big Mom, which also resulted in the creation of a giant crater. There is a chance that Law will unlock even more abilities of his Ope Ope no Mi, which he can use in conjunction with Kikoku.
18 Kashu
- Debut: Episode 79
- Grade: Ryo Wazamono
Kashu is one of the 50 Ryo Wazamono grade swords. Originally, the sword belonged to Mr. 11 from the Baroque Works, but after his loss to Tashigi, the Marine claimed the sword for herself. The sword has not been used in many fights, so it is difficult to gauge its power.

Considering its status as a Ryo Wazamono sword, it is certainly one of the better swords in One Piece. One might think that Tashigi will use this sword in the future, but given her lack of screen time, it looks highly unlikely to happen.
17 Yubashiri
- Debut: Episode 49
- Grade: Ryo Wazamono
Yubashiri was wielded by Roronoa Zoro. It was a Ryo Wazamono sword that was given to the Straw Hat by Ipponmatsu. Seeing Zoro’s determination to challenge the curse of Sandai Kitetsu, Ipponmatsu decided to give away Yubashiri.
Zoro kept the sword for a long time, and he regularly used it with his other two swords. Yubashiri was a solid weapon, and Zoro continued to wield it in battle until he faced Shu at Enies Lobby. Zoro was unaware of Shu’s devil fruit ability, which gave the Marine an opportunity to touch the sword. Shu’s Sabi Sabi no Mi made light work of Yubashiri, making it unusable. Zoro finally gave up the sword on Thriller Bark.
16 Sandai Kitetsu
- Debut: Episode 49
- Grade: Ryo Wazamono
Sandai Kitetsu is a Ryo Wazamono blade created by Kozuki Sukiyaki. Considering Sukiyaki’s skills, it is quite surprising that Sandai Kitetsu isn’t higher on the grade scale. Zoro found the sword in Ipponmatsu’s shop in Loguetown. The shopkeeper tried to warn Zoro that Sandai Kitetsu is a cursed sword, so it is not possible for everyone to use it in battle.
So, Zoro decided to test his luck. Unsurprisingly, Zoro’s strong will and luck overcame the sword’s curse, allowing him to use it without any kind of problem. He used Sandai Kitetsu to injure Hody Jones underwater, which is a reflection of Zoro’s swordsmanship as well as the sword’s quality. After learning to use Busoshoku Haki, it is possible that Sandai Kitetsu’s grade might increase.
15 Pretzel
- Debut: Episode 796
- Grade: Unknown
Pretzel is a Named Sword wielded by Charlotte Cracker of the Big Mom Pirates. Cracker made his introduction into the anime during the Whole Cake Island arc, when he clashed against protagonist Monkey D. Luffy.
Cracker is a very talented swordsman, as he was able to wield a huge sword-like Pretzel without any effort. After combining his Busoshoku Haki with Pretzel, Cracker was able to hurt Luffy, who was using Gear Fourth. Pretzel’s grade is unknown, but it is very likely that it is an O-Wazamono sword.
14 Durandal
- Debut: Episode 633
- Grade: Unknown
Owned by Cavendish of the White Horse, Durandal is a rapier, and it is made up of a highly flexible iron. The unique iron of the sword allows Cavendish to deflect and counter many powerful attacks as the sword will not break as easily.
Cavendish was able to use Durandal to counter one of Don Chinjao’s attacks without facing many problems. While in his Hakuba form, Cavendish was able to launch quick attacks which were able to knock out almost every fighter competing in his block.
13 Oto
- Debut: Episode 0
- Grade: Unknown
One of Shiki’s swords, Oto is a Named Sword of an unknown grade. The sword was used by Shiki in many ferocious battles, which included fights against Gol D. Roger, Sengoku, and Monkey D. Garp.
While fighting Garp and Sengoku, Shiki was able to kill many normal Marines with these swords, and he very likely managed to wound Garp.
12 Raiu
- Debut: Episode 444
- Grade: Unknown
Raiu is a nodachi that is wielded by Shiryu, one of the members of the Blackbeard Pirates. It is a Named Sword with a fairly simple design. Shiryu has killed countless people with this sword.

The sword’s grade is unknown, but it is possible that it could be one of the 21 O-Wazamono swords. Raiu’s true power remains a mystery, but that will change towards the end of the series.
11 Kogarashi
- Debut: Episode 0
- Grade: Unknown
Kogarashi is wielded by the legendary pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion. Shiki has numerous feats to his name. He is the first prisoner to escape from Impel Down. Shiki also managed to destroy a large part of Marineford on his own.
After chopping off his legs, Shiki used Oto and Kogarashi as his legs. The grade of the sword is unknown, but it is highly possible that it is a Ryo-Wazamono or a higher grade.
10 Nidai Kitetsu
- Debut: Episode 897
- Grade: O Wazamono
One of the 21 O Wazamono swords, Nidai Kitetsu is currently in possession of Hitetsu. It is a cursed sword that was crafted by Kotetsu. The sword is inferior to Shodai Kitetsu in terms of strength and grade, but it is likely still quite strong considering its own grade.
This sword has not been used in a serious battle, so it is difficult to rank the power of the blade. But, as it is an O Wazamono sword, it is very likely a powerful weapon.
9 Shusui
- Debut: Episode 342
- Grade: O Wazamono
Shusui is considered the national treasure of the Land of Wano. In the past, the sword was wielded by Ryuma and was buried with him after his death. It remained in Wano until Moria stole the blade, along with Ryuma’s corpse.
Shusui is an O Wazamono sword and a black blade. Originally, it was just an O Wazamono sword but after numerous battles, Ryuma managed to turn it into an all-black blade. With the power of Shusui, Roronoa Zoro has managed to slice through a dragon with just a single slash.
8 Wado Ichimonji
- Debut: Episode 2
- Grade: O Wazamono
Wado Ichimonji has played an important role in Roronoa Zoro’s journey so far. The sword is of significant importance to Zoro as it was once wielded by his rival and friend, Kuina. After Kuina’s death, Zoro requested to take Wado Ichimonji with him and Koshiro agreed to his request.

The sword is among the 21 O Wazamono swords, and it was the only sword that has managed to withstand the attacks from Mihawk’s Yoru. Wado Ichimonji was also able to fend off attacks from Shusui, another testament to the sword’s durability.
7 Ame no Habakiri
- Debut: Episode 955
- Grade: O Wazamono
Ame no Habakiri is one of the two swords that were originally in Oden’s possession. It is an O Wazamono sword and Oden used it in conjunction with Enma. Oden used this weapon to leave a massive wound on Kaido.
Ame no Habakiri was crafted by Tenguyama Hitetsu, a legendary swordsmith of Wano. The sword is considered to be on par with Enma, which is another O Wazamono sword; however, it is unknown whether the sword has the ability to draw out Haki as Enma does.
6 Enma
- Debut: Episode 955
- Grade: O Wazamono
Yet another of the 21 O Wazamono swords, Enma is currently in the possession of Roronoa Zoro, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. It was previously wielded by Kozuki Oden. The sword was gifted to Zoro by Hiyori in exchange for returning Shusui to him.
Enma is one of the two weapons that managed to injure Kaido in a fight, which is an incredible feat considering that Kaido’s skin is nigh impossible to penetrate. Enma also has the unique ability to draw out Haki from an individual, which makes Zoro’s attacks all the more powerful.
5 Griffon
- Debut: Episode 151
- Grade: Unknown
Griffon is a sword of an unknown grade and it is wielded by Shanks, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates. There is a very strong possibility of Griffon being a Saijo O Wazamono sword, as it has proved to be quite durable over the course of several fights. Shanks clashed his sword against Whitebeard’s Murakumogiri, which caused the sky to split.

Shanks was able to stop Akainu’s devil fruit enhanced attack with his sword, and the sword was not damaged by the attack. Shanks has also fought against Dracule Mihawk in the past, who also has a Saijo O Wazamono sword. All things point towards Shanks’ Griffon being a named sword of the highest grade.
4 Shodai Kitetsu
- Debut: Episode 49
- Grade: Saijo O-Wazamono
Shodai Kitetsu is the strongest known Kitetsu sword, supposedly crafted by the very first generation of Kitetsu swordsmiths. It was the first and the best of its kind; the Kitetsu swords crafted after Shodai Kitetsu were not of the same grade.
Shodai Kitetsu is one of the twelve Saijo O Wazamono grade swords. Being a Kitetsu sword, Shodai Kitetsu is a cursed sword and it is destined to bring a gruesome death to its wielder. It is one of the few swords that fans have not yet seen in action, but that might change in the future. Who knows who may wield this powerful blade?
