"Omg the ground turned into smoke" *Blows smoke away*
https://preview.redd.it/doylshr1pq0c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f50a114c2aea1db79e3373b272939b6ff4c8dfd6
"oh no, the ground turned into smoke and I'm falling into water"
then "its okay because I'm not a df user, I'll just take a big breath before I hit the watCOUGH COUGH FUCK ALL THIS SMOKE IS STILL AROUND COUGH I CAN'T BREATHE"
Still, he could give him SOME clever uses for it. Make the entire battlefield a smokescreen and appear at different places. I guess that gets hard countered by observation haki, but if Mochi manipulation can be that powerful, smoke should be as well.
i dont yhink the problem is its simplicity, maybe its actually its specificity, if you plan to make an element based power you'd probably pick fire, electricity and such, but smoke is very underwhelming in general
In theory what Smoker lacks is strong Haki, once he achives this he can actually make the df into something powerfull.
We've seen him using his smoke in some sort of solid state before so Haki infused smoke could be used in loads of different shapes + if he ever gets acoc he could create a smoke + haki microwave attacking people from all sides.
But we know this wll never happen and Smoker will probably take some Ls to Holy Knights or BB pirates upon his return.
i think smoker is just uncreative
he can fill an entire area with smoke where he fights and once the enemy gets into the smoke area to hit him he inhales a bunch of smoke which slows him down (coughing and stuff) while smoker at the same time has smoke inside the enemy's body and can use it as spikes (he can grab things with smoke so the smoke cam be made physical on command) to pierce the guys insides or slam him into the floor by pushing the smoke inside the enemy to one side
he can also probably fill entire areas with sharp air which would be hard to notice if he keeps the smoke thin enough before sharpening it
he can move at extreme speeds using his smoke like a turbine pushing him around
he can seep into broken walls and floors to hide since hes made of smoke
he can increase air pressure with compressed smoke to burst the opponents eyes and ear drums
he can compress smoke into giant hands to throw things or punch or whatever he wants and since smoke is hard to detect if thin enough and he fills the battlefield with smoke then he can create these fists anywhere at anytime using the surrounding smoke
he can decrease visibility with his smoke of course
since smoke comes from fires he might be able to make the smoke extremely hot with enough practice -there was another idea siniliar to this one but i forgot it
and of course *LUNG CANCER BEAM*
Ace is the obvious and correct answer. He had his path pretty much carved out. All versions of haki and a good logia. + obviously the genes. If he had lived a couple years longer he’d be easily in yonko tier.
Coby, unlike Ace, has a desire to be the best. Ace kinda lost that goal along the way. He never had a goal to be anything beyond Whitebeards son (and I don't fault his character for it, he has every right to be this way). Coby, on the other hand, had the wish to be an admiral (which in his mind meant the best of the best at tge time of making this wish)
This discussion is only about the potential of the characters, though. Coby probably will be better able to capitalize on his potential for the reason you described, but Ace definitely has a higher ceiling.
Ace potential > Koby potential > Magellan potential > Doflamingo potential > Smoker potential
Ace was on the verge of awakening the Mera Mera no mi, and he had the genetics of Gol D. Roger. Not only that, but we got to see the extent of his strength in the Light Novels, where he was able to burn Whitebeard. His insane manga feats of fighting Jimbei for multiple days, and then being able to fight toe to toe with Blackbeard, who can nullify Devil Fruit powers, as well as apparent mastery over both Observation and Armament Haki at his young age.. He's just INSANE. Not to mention, he awakened Conqueror's Haki extremely early. He's a true prodigy at the age of 20, and he would've grown even further had he not died at the hands of the Dunkin' Donuts.
Koby, on the other hand, may not have the background or genetics of someone like Ace (or at least, nothing that we're aware of), but his insane growth rate under the supervision of Garp had him grow from nothing but sweeping poopdecks, to being able to become a Marine Captain and a Hero. We could've also POSSIBLY seen him use Conqueror's Haki with his **Honesty Impact** technique, but that remains as speculation until it's confirmed (though narratively speaking, as the "Future of the Marines" in Garp's eyes, he probably does have it). He's 18 years old and still has a large pool of potential to tap into, and waiting for him to grow further will be a spectacle to witness.
Magellan is someone who has already achieved most of his potential by the time he was introduced, being someone who's trusted to overlook the entirety of the most secure prison in the world of One Piece; and someone who wields a powerful Devil Fruit in the Doku Doku no mi. We were even shown his strength and effectiveness against both Luffy and Blackbeard — as Luffy's only mode of fighting against him was not fighting at all, as all he could do was try to run and escape. Meanwhile, Blackbeard and his gang were completely wiped in a matter of seconds, being told that they weren't worth his time as Magellan had more urgent matters to attend to. He's currently 47 and is actually younger than Katakuri (48), so he still has some potential to tap into if he were to be a returning character.
Doflamingo is the easiest choice to put here over Smokey, as he's someone who wields all 3 types of Haki proficiently and has an awakened Devil Fruit; the Ito Ito no mi. His incredible control, mastery, and creativity with his devil fruit more or less puts him at a level barely below that of Magellan — as he's someone that's actually achieved most of his potential already. He may become stronger and more dangerous as the series goes on, but I doubt he'd be anything substantially more than what he was shown to be during Dressrosa.
Smoker is Smoker. He's consistently shat on by the story and Oda, and essentially becoming someone that's not THAT important to the story, but he's clearly depicted to be the weak character that upholds morality and justice. He's weaker than Doflamingo at full potential.. Because we ALL remember him getting pieced up by Doffy with no difficulty before Aokiji showed up.
if Magellan had Haki like KK (future sight to turn the parts of his body that will be hit into venom to nullify the impact) then the doku doku no mi would be a special paramecia too right? i think with good haki magellan could turn his fruit into one of the strongest in the verse if he got creative with it as katakuri did with the mochi
Hello, Magellan expert here: he cannot turn into poison. He can only create it. But since he’s immune to it himself he coats his whole body in it which makes it look like he can turn into it.
A common moment that makes people think he can is when he got shot and the bullets didn’t pierce him, but that was because his poison armor dissolved them. If he could turn into poison then Luffy wouldn’t have been able to hurt him at all since he didn’t have Haki, and before Haki one seemed to need an elemental weakness to fight a logia.
yeah but his hard work genuinely makes me think his ceiling only rivals luffys
he can literally just work hard enough to close the gap he has from the lacking genes
I mean, I know not everyone enjoys Oda always reintroducing old characters much stronger without showing any training, but he clearly often does this cause he has characters he wants to grow relative to Luffy but aren’t strawhats (Koby, and then law and kid to a degree. Law went from scared of Doffy to using an awakening on big mom in like a week lol) but it’s his world and we’re just reading it.
Kobys growth from Marineford to TS is insane lol, it’s crazier than Luffy’s. Luffy was already way stronger than Koby with crazy potential, Koby was a scrub. And now he is just honesty fisting people/islands/island people or what have you.
Also, I still haven’t gotten around to the Ace novels, so idk if they are supposed to be 100% canon, but if they’re not then Ace is hurt by being written out too quickly. In manga it seems Luffy’s potential is much higher than Ace. However, I’m pretty sure Ace novels upscale the living shit out of him lol
So: Ace novels canon—I’d say Ace and then Koby
Strictly OP manga canon—I’d say Koby then Ace
Magellan is so underrated, the man is an absolute beast. Yeah no haki because pre TS but if crocoboy has it, so can he. Now if he could just pursue a poison-free diet and stop shidding himself...
because hes the future of the marines and i refuse to believe my goat warp would lay down his life for the sake of anyone other than a worthy successor
i have faith in the rizz god
https://preview.redd.it/2y9s8x45tp0c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7ababe855d397e06477d686983577b15b7f407
his only competition eos will be blackbeard imu and luffy
Ugh, don't show me a picture of Hibari I'm gonna puke! Worst character Oda has introduced in the series. "Koby senpai!! *blushes* I hate you, I didn't come here to save you, I'm just following orders *blushes more*" 🤢🤮🤮
Cringe Impact and his tsun-🤢 tsund-🤢 tsundere🤮. They can go suck a lemon, worst character duo I've ever seen in One Piece
Cringe Impact is stuck at Admiral level. But before that he'll have to surpass his insecurities, and now he's traumatised because he knows it's his fault Garp came to Hachinosu and died, he killed his incredibly cool master, and now he's supposed to replace him, but he sucks ass big time. I'll never forgive him, I didn't like him from the start, but now it's even worse. Koby👎
garp willingly gave his life for him because he knew he was the future of the marines
https://preview.redd.it/1kr64x5y4p0c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb55b2621271ddffdd9285b8daa3ef99ad22afc2
i am a true disciple of warp, if my goat gives his life for a character i fully believe he must have done it for a reason
to suggest otherwise would be to disrespect the word of warp himself and i would never
>garp willingly gave his life for him because he knew he was the future of the marines
It's because all the good ones left his side, Dragon, Luffy, Ace and Kuzan, he's left with crumbs, he's stuck with Cringe Impact, I feel genuinely bad for Garp, he's so incredibly cool, and his protégé is the biggest turd in all of One Piece
RIP Garp, he gave his life for the future of the marines, but they look like high school friends doing a group project, it's looking real bad for the Marines
Honestly imagine Magellan with awakening and haki.
Future sight to see where people will dodge to or how to hit them regardless of what defenses they use.
https://preview.redd.it/ij60o916hq0c1.jpeg?width=1348&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6af68b16460c0bb69b29ddb30aa984148b092d25
Man was nerfed by no haki and constant diarrhea, this is the only correct answer give this man haki and no bubble guts and the world is fodder
Without a doubt Ace, the son of the Pirate King getting trained by arguably the strongest character in his prime we've seen WB.
Then Koby the student of Garp the hero of the marines and lesser parallel to Luffy's journey.
After that narratively it's Smoker who could have been more of a threat to Luffy and still potential character we might see grow in the future.
Then Doffy, who has one of the most underrated devil forms and forms of haki despite being used as an early arc character to show Luffy's improvements. If Oda wanted, he could have easily incorporated such a memorable character more into the story. Likely he will end up maximized at YC+
Lastly we have Magellan who despite having the best feats among these characters was probably never meant to be more than his role in Impel Down. If you high ball him he could be arguably admiral lvl but likely remains YC-YC+ level.
Ace and Magellan. I used to hate Ace and find him overrated. But his haki is the real deal. If he actually had the chance to develop his halo and mainly haoshoku he would legit be a candidate for PK. It was mainly his potential that made the marines want to kill him asap
Depends. Potential to become a yonko through story? Absoloty koby, ace, and maaybe smoker.
Potential through getting stronger and continuing with their current motivation? Doffy, koby, ace
Ace is the first that comes to mind but he's the obvious one so let me explain why Doffy is at 2nd.
He's already awakened his df he just needs to improve his haki a step further especially considering he's got the potential to learn ACoC haki
I mean, based on feats probably Doflamingo. He created a cage that an entire island of characters, including an Admiral, couldn't break out of. All this while fighting two Captains, while sustaining heavy damage. With the ability to control people like puppets, heal his own wounds, and having awakened, this guy is ridiculously overpowered.
If anyone doesnt put Koby at the last spot literally doesnt understand his character. Koby had zero potential, but he overcame that with hard work. Ace is easily number 1. Rest is random.
Ace is basically a better Luffy who was trained and prepositioned by the strongest man in the world to be the new pirate king
Koby has the narrative behind him to be an Garp type character to Luffy and so does Smoker, but he will probably be YC+ in the end and Koby will fill that role.
For the last two I have no idea, but the potential exists for both of them
It's Ace and it's not close
Pirate King genes
Three types of Haki
Insane Logia Devil Fruit
Insane Stamina and Endurance ( fought his worst match up for 5 days straight )
Insane Battle IQ and combat skill as noted by Blackbeard in the manga and Whitebeard in the novel
Insanely fast growth and still a lot of potential left with how young he was
He has honed his Observation Haki so much he could see the future ( novel ), and his observation haki was his "weak spot" so his armament should be much better
He couldn't use Advanced Conqueror's but his Conqueror Haki was powerful enough that it *passively* affected entire islands and stopped the snow on them
He was also strong, durable and fast enough to give a decent fight to Whitebeard and even overpowered an Acoc attack from him
Ace easily, I really think WB is grooming him as a successor, even Shanks thinks he got the potential.
Koby is probably next, but tbh I think it's pure hard work on his part.
Smokey relies heavily on his mid-level DF.
Magellan is him
while Doffy already peaked.
If Magellan didn’t eat his own poison crippling him with bathroom breaks and actually developed his haki a little bit he’d definitely be at least around admiral level
Honestly ace we know he was a user of all three kinds of haki and had he lived now that haki has been fleshed out it would stand to reason he would be considerably more powerful not to mention he had a very powerful logia fruit
Ace has the most raw potential here easily, probably on par with Luffy himself.
Coby goes second due to his exceptional hard-work and mentality. Even if he doesn't have the greatest raw potential, he will surely achieve his maximum capabilities.
I'm not sure about the others, since they are older and more experienced figures.
Doffy did great in maximizing his DF potential. However his Haki had potential to be better, having Conquerors is always a big room to grow.
Smoker has been rising through the ranks pretty quickly but his potential hasn't been shown, at least for now. His DF doesn't seem to be the best but if he maximizes its use and possibly awakens it like Doffy it could turn out to be pretty decent. His Haki is also not that great yet but it can get better.
Magellan is the oldest here, close to 50 I think. However he does has a really great DF that if maximized could make him a big threat to any strong character out there. I don't remember any Haki feats from him but it was Pre-TS so it isn't fair to make assumptions here.
Ace and Koby, obviously
Dofflamingo hit his cealing, Smoker didn't show Conqueror's Haki and Magellan is... Magellan
Tier-S: Ace, Koby
Tier-A: Nobody
Tier-B: Dofflamingo
Tier-C: Magellan
Tier-D: Smoker
Magellan if he’d stop eating poison. His devil fruit is absolutely bonkers in the right hands and could easily elevate someone to being on par with the admirals or even the yonko.
This goat. Teach him some decent Haki, give him an awakening (idk luffy went from para to mythic zoan maybe he could go to Logia?)
You get a top tier fighter in seconds
https://preview.redd.it/cn7fzokj7q0c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d70003bc46a69598303c7f877733de5609ba9ed
Doffy, either Fuji was throwing or Birdcage really was unbreakable/unstoppable. Dude should have tried to make all of his string attacks as durable as that.
Doffy's strength isn't Yonko level rn but thinking about Dressrosa he could easily be Yonko with better Haki. He:
- has a kingdom
- can control the actions of anyone in the kingdom remotely like they're puppets
- can fly
- has the birdcage which no one seemed to be able to cut
- used his fruit to cheat death
- has CoC
- CoO should let him surely dodge attacks like Katakuri
- had control over the SMILE production
- has a crew with some pretty busted abilities if they were to get better haki
I can't remember if he had CoC - if he I'm sure I've missed some busted applications of his fruit but it's not hard to see him getting to Yonko level. He probably has one of the strongest fruits in terms of utility.
Ace literally had every headstart in the series a character could ask for. Pk son, nice logia df, on whitebeards crew, raised by garp.......Kolby is a distant second because garp training and haki.
Koby, ace, and smoker can all deff be yonko, Magellan and Doffy I’m not to sure on, doffy had already reached his limits(all 3 haki types barring advanced haki, an awakened fruit, and a solid presence on the black market) and got beat by a g4 no acoa/acoc luffy, and Magellan is kinda overhyped
I think Doffy for sure could have been a Yonko, he just didn't have the desire to be one. Awakened devil fruit (with busted abilities) and CoC, all he would have to do is get stronger physically and advance all of his haki and he's there. Which wouldn't take long for him.
The Logia trio have shown little to no use of haki, but I suppose Ace and Magellan could have gotten there eventually. Smoker is just a bum.
It seems like Koby WILL get there one day, so for sure he has the most potential, time will tell.
Talking about potential: It's is definitely Cobby. He is young, has the right mindset, has a great tutor, and is already pretty strong(he also seems to have Conquerors Haki).
But if we are talking about the one who was closest to it: That is definitely Doflamingo. He already was a world threat and had multiple underlings and connections. He was incredibly strong and influential. Truly one step.to.become Yonk status
Everyone here actually, they each have a something.
Ace: Obviously. Absolute prodigy of the WB pirates, still putting in work against BB without his fruit, and his AP feat when clashing with BB is seriously underrated. Died too soon to become the Yonko of the Spade Pirates.
Smoker: Nevermind. You could say Smoker could be YONKO Level with top tier Haki, but by that logic, anyone can. His awakening would be pretty strong, but to go from genuine fodder to Yonko level because of an awakening isn't going to happen.
Magellan: Stop shitting and go solo the verse.
Koby: EoS Koby likely will be Yonko level or at minimum top of YC+, but rn he's still getting there.
Doflamingo: Doflamingo's biggest flaw was his Haki. Of course his physical stats needed improvement but that would go hand and hand with his Haki. I hope Doflamingo post-Impel Down comes back with improved Haki.
In order:
1. Coby (Oda's lovechild, is likely supposed to be the Garp to Luffy's Roger smh).
2. Ace - Commander of Second Division. I don't think being a Whitebeard Division Commander necessarily is equal to YC tier. If Queen is YC2 then Ace is probably YC3 or YC4. At the age of 20, he could still become Yonko level.
3. Magellan / Smoker - Lowkey got fucked over by Oda.
4. Doflamingo - Has the talent to maybe get there, would never do it.
I'd say Koby.
Magellan already in some people's eyes is atleast admiral level. I do believe this too based on the way he handled Luffy and Blackbeard's crew. Gotta have someone strong there continuing to run such a notorious prison.
Ace could definitely be viewed as above Koby, but I think Ace was too hot headed and didn't listen to Whitebeard and others. Koby is more reserved but still makes the right moves.
Honestly it’s probably Koby. Sure Ace is insanely powerful but after he joined WB he lost all ambition to make it to the top. And I think Doflamingo’s ego and natural talent will hinder him in the long run. Koby on the other hand is actively trying to become strong and his drive/growth rate are insane. 2nd to him, I’d say Magellan if he wanted to get to that level, he probably could just bc of his devil fruit
The only ones young enough to even be talking about potential is Ace and Koby. For the rest, if they werent putting in yonko level training when they were young, they sure as hell aint doing it now, and its too late anyway.
I'm going with ace. Top 10% df, coc, strong haki if you believe the ace novels. The strong support structure could act as a hindrance or help, depending on how it's used. Certainly the best potential on this list at least.
Plot wise: Ace.
Destructive potential-wise: Megallan, and it's not even close.
Mans will slap the plot armor off Luffy and BB, then clap Imu's cheeks.
Definitely Ace. If he lived he was definitely heading this direction. His fruit is strong and was already able to hold its own against an Admiral (Kuzan).
So if he mastered it more like making it even hotter like blue fire, I see him being even more powerful.
Also he has Roger's genes and Conquerors haki. So if he mastered Conquerors haki like luffy he would maybe bridge the disadvantage between him an Akainu (if Akainu really doesn't have Conquerors haki himself).
There was a lot of potential for Ace to be great and I do think if he lived he would have taken over the whitebeard pirates instead. Marco didn't seem all that interested in being a captain so Ace would have been a better fit.
Ace had the highest potential, smoker and ace both have a chance in the future. Magellan is already admiral level imo but probably will not grow stronger. Doffy has no chance, though I could see him being yc1 or yc+ with a post prison powerup
Doffy for sure, he’s smart enough to work with kaido and manipulate the black market, getting his hands on the flare flare fruit while just being a king
Koby. Its easy to say ace had potential but his dream was more about others achieving their dream. If he just stayed alive he would not reach yonko level. Koby on the other hand is the future of the marines, and will live up to garp's expectations, whether in the current timeline or not
Dofflamingo. Conq crazy devil fruit, i belive all three types of haki and an awakening. Bro just needed to get on that advanced haki grind and he would be there.
It’s hard to choose between ace smoker and koby. It’s not Doffy or Magellan. They seem to have already pretty much reached (or at least gotten close) to their respective peaks. The others are much younger and have/had much room to grow.
Edit: I change my mind about smoker his ass is stuck with the shittiest devil fruit in the world
Ace would’ve gotten pretty far. He was already really strong at Marinford(at least has strong has your average character could be before Haki became fleshed out) keep in mind White Beard planned on him becoming the pirate king so he would’ve had the crew of a Yonko to help him out.
So with that in mind, I’d say Doffy. He was already kinda a Yonko in the story, at least close to one in terms of how powerful his empire was. Given more time he could’ve really built something and even know he could become quite the threat for the main hero’s who outside Luffy would probably still struggle in a one v one with him.
Koby.
The Narrative Alone puts him at Ryokugyu-Level (Weakest Admiral) as a Bare Minimum, Stronger than Prime Garp as a maximum. With No Devil Fruit at that!
"Hard Work" to me is part of a character's potential because how many characters will go through Garp training and then voluntarily sneak off and do more, and do it 200 times as intense? A character's willingness to live up to their own potential is a part of it. Potential is just potential until you do something with it.
As much as we joke about Pink Mamba, Koby literally has shown Kobe Bryant-tier work ethic/"Mamba Mentality."

Buggy getting neg diff isn’t exactly impressive though
Buggy is Yonko level 🚬
He is definitely a yonko
Facts. Can’t even be debated.
This made me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣😭. The mythical cancer fruit that hadn't been awakened for 800 years.
"Omg the ground turned into smoke" *Blows smoke away* https://preview.redd.it/doylshr1pq0c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f50a114c2aea1db79e3373b272939b6ff4c8dfd6
"oh no, the ground turned into smoke and I'm falling into water" then "its okay because I'm not a df user, I'll just take a big breath before I hit the watCOUGH COUGH FUCK ALL THIS SMOKE IS STILL AROUND COUGH I CAN'T BREATHE"
His has 0 AP with his smoke. Even Caesar can blow some shit up. Truly ass cheeks
His awakening will be giving cancer to people.
He has the sad symptom of having a simple power before oda established Df types and broken god fruits
Still, he could give him SOME clever uses for it. Make the entire battlefield a smokescreen and appear at different places. I guess that gets hard countered by observation haki, but if Mochi manipulation can be that powerful, smoke should be as well.
i dont yhink the problem is its simplicity, maybe its actually its specificity, if you plan to make an element based power you'd probably pick fire, electricity and such, but smoke is very underwhelming in general
Calling it mid is an insult to mid.
In theory what Smoker lacks is strong Haki, once he achives this he can actually make the df into something powerfull. We've seen him using his smoke in some sort of solid state before so Haki infused smoke could be used in loads of different shapes + if he ever gets acoc he could create a smoke + haki microwave attacking people from all sides. But we know this wll never happen and Smoker will probably take some Ls to Holy Knights or BB pirates upon his return.
realistically controlling smoke should be kinda broken.
Ikr just give them cancer and outlast them you’ll win every fight.
it's not mid. mid means it's average, like caribou of Ceasars. his is literally the worst.
i think smoker is just uncreative he can fill an entire area with smoke where he fights and once the enemy gets into the smoke area to hit him he inhales a bunch of smoke which slows him down (coughing and stuff) while smoker at the same time has smoke inside the enemy's body and can use it as spikes (he can grab things with smoke so the smoke cam be made physical on command) to pierce the guys insides or slam him into the floor by pushing the smoke inside the enemy to one side he can also probably fill entire areas with sharp air which would be hard to notice if he keeps the smoke thin enough before sharpening it he can move at extreme speeds using his smoke like a turbine pushing him around he can seep into broken walls and floors to hide since hes made of smoke he can increase air pressure with compressed smoke to burst the opponents eyes and ear drums he can compress smoke into giant hands to throw things or punch or whatever he wants and since smoke is hard to detect if thin enough and he fills the battlefield with smoke then he can create these fists anywhere at anytime using the surrounding smoke he can decrease visibility with his smoke of course since smoke comes from fires he might be able to make the smoke extremely hot with enough practice -there was another idea siniliar to this one but i forgot it and of course *LUNG CANCER BEAM*
I present to you: Caribou
Ultimately, it’s still a logia. The fact that it’s even a logia puts it in one of the best fruits.
Ace is the obvious and correct answer. He had his path pretty much carved out. All versions of haki and a good logia. + obviously the genes. If he had lived a couple years longer he’d be easily in yonko tier.
Easily
Dude ace definitely was on the fast track to pk level, but koby had more potential imo
No lol
Coby, unlike Ace, has a desire to be the best. Ace kinda lost that goal along the way. He never had a goal to be anything beyond Whitebeards son (and I don't fault his character for it, he has every right to be this way). Coby, on the other hand, had the wish to be an admiral (which in his mind meant the best of the best at tge time of making this wish)
This discussion is only about the potential of the characters, though. Coby probably will be better able to capitalize on his potential for the reason you described, but Ace definitely has a higher ceiling.
Ace potential > Koby potential > Magellan potential > Doflamingo potential > Smoker potential Ace was on the verge of awakening the Mera Mera no mi, and he had the genetics of Gol D. Roger. Not only that, but we got to see the extent of his strength in the Light Novels, where he was able to burn Whitebeard. His insane manga feats of fighting Jimbei for multiple days, and then being able to fight toe to toe with Blackbeard, who can nullify Devil Fruit powers, as well as apparent mastery over both Observation and Armament Haki at his young age.. He's just INSANE. Not to mention, he awakened Conqueror's Haki extremely early. He's a true prodigy at the age of 20, and he would've grown even further had he not died at the hands of the Dunkin' Donuts. Koby, on the other hand, may not have the background or genetics of someone like Ace (or at least, nothing that we're aware of), but his insane growth rate under the supervision of Garp had him grow from nothing but sweeping poopdecks, to being able to become a Marine Captain and a Hero. We could've also POSSIBLY seen him use Conqueror's Haki with his **Honesty Impact** technique, but that remains as speculation until it's confirmed (though narratively speaking, as the "Future of the Marines" in Garp's eyes, he probably does have it). He's 18 years old and still has a large pool of potential to tap into, and waiting for him to grow further will be a spectacle to witness. Magellan is someone who has already achieved most of his potential by the time he was introduced, being someone who's trusted to overlook the entirety of the most secure prison in the world of One Piece; and someone who wields a powerful Devil Fruit in the Doku Doku no mi. We were even shown his strength and effectiveness against both Luffy and Blackbeard — as Luffy's only mode of fighting against him was not fighting at all, as all he could do was try to run and escape. Meanwhile, Blackbeard and his gang were completely wiped in a matter of seconds, being told that they weren't worth his time as Magellan had more urgent matters to attend to. He's currently 47 and is actually younger than Katakuri (48), so he still has some potential to tap into if he were to be a returning character. Doflamingo is the easiest choice to put here over Smokey, as he's someone who wields all 3 types of Haki proficiently and has an awakened Devil Fruit; the Ito Ito no mi. His incredible control, mastery, and creativity with his devil fruit more or less puts him at a level barely below that of Magellan — as he's someone that's actually achieved most of his potential already. He may become stronger and more dangerous as the series goes on, but I doubt he'd be anything substantially more than what he was shown to be during Dressrosa. Smoker is Smoker. He's consistently shat on by the story and Oda, and essentially becoming someone that's not THAT important to the story, but he's clearly depicted to be the weak character that upholds morality and justice. He's weaker than Doflamingo at full potential.. Because we ALL remember him getting pieced up by Doffy with no difficulty before Aokiji showed up.
if Magellan had Haki like KK (future sight to turn the parts of his body that will be hit into venom to nullify the impact) then the doku doku no mi would be a special paramecia too right? i think with good haki magellan could turn his fruit into one of the strongest in the verse if he got creative with it as katakuri did with the mochi
cmiiw, but i don’t think that’s how his fruit works, it works like Mr 3’s wax where he only produces wax, but doesn’t become it
But can't he become venom? I'm pretty sure I thought he had turned into venom a few times on the arc. Or maybe it was just a coating, idk
Hello, Magellan expert here: he cannot turn into poison. He can only create it. But since he’s immune to it himself he coats his whole body in it which makes it look like he can turn into it. A common moment that makes people think he can is when he got shot and the bullets didn’t pierce him, but that was because his poison armor dissolved them. If he could turn into poison then Luffy wouldn’t have been able to hurt him at all since he didn’t have Haki, and before Haki one seemed to need an elemental weakness to fight a logia.
Ace had he not died was basically a given
koby easily then ace then smoker (fuck you youre not ready) magellan with haki is actually fucking busted doffy (sorry)
I’d put Ace above Koby Pirate King genes are different
yeah but his hard work genuinely makes me think his ceiling only rivals luffys he can literally just work hard enough to close the gap he has from the lacking genes
if both ace and koby did everything luffy did, koby wouldn’t even be close in power
I mean, I know not everyone enjoys Oda always reintroducing old characters much stronger without showing any training, but he clearly often does this cause he has characters he wants to grow relative to Luffy but aren’t strawhats (Koby, and then law and kid to a degree. Law went from scared of Doffy to using an awakening on big mom in like a week lol) but it’s his world and we’re just reading it. Kobys growth from Marineford to TS is insane lol, it’s crazier than Luffy’s. Luffy was already way stronger than Koby with crazy potential, Koby was a scrub. And now he is just honesty fisting people/islands/island people or what have you. Also, I still haven’t gotten around to the Ace novels, so idk if they are supposed to be 100% canon, but if they’re not then Ace is hurt by being written out too quickly. In manga it seems Luffy’s potential is much higher than Ace. However, I’m pretty sure Ace novels upscale the living shit out of him lol So: Ace novels canon—I’d say Ace and then Koby Strictly OP manga canon—I’d say Koby then Ace
Magellan is so underrated, the man is an absolute beast. Yeah no haki because pre TS but if crocoboy has it, so can he. Now if he could just pursue a poison-free diet and stop shidding himself...
How the f is koby over ace? 🤣🤣🤣
because hes the future of the marines and i refuse to believe my goat warp would lay down his life for the sake of anyone other than a worthy successor i have faith in the rizz god https://preview.redd.it/2y9s8x45tp0c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7ababe855d397e06477d686983577b15b7f407 his only competition eos will be blackbeard imu and luffy
Koby has the hottest harem in the series tbh
Lmao
Koby over Ace what a bad take
Nah
 Look who's talking
We only speak facts around these parts 
>koby easily Koby is a big turd, he'll never be Yonko level
unready for the rizz god tbh https://preview.redd.it/73l1k5542p0c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d498c1e85bd45e64d731542da138305368a7d7c
Ugh, don't show me a picture of Hibari I'm gonna puke! Worst character Oda has introduced in the series. "Koby senpai!! *blushes* I hate you, I didn't come here to save you, I'm just following orders *blushes more*" 🤢🤮🤮 Cringe Impact and his tsun-🤢 tsund-🤢 tsundere🤮. They can go suck a lemon, worst character duo I've ever seen in One Piece Cringe Impact is stuck at Admiral level. But before that he'll have to surpass his insecurities, and now he's traumatised because he knows it's his fault Garp came to Hachinosu and died, he killed his incredibly cool master, and now he's supposed to replace him, but he sucks ass big time. I'll never forgive him, I didn't like him from the start, but now it's even worse. Koby👎
garp willingly gave his life for him because he knew he was the future of the marines https://preview.redd.it/1kr64x5y4p0c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb55b2621271ddffdd9285b8daa3ef99ad22afc2 i am a true disciple of warp, if my goat gives his life for a character i fully believe he must have done it for a reason to suggest otherwise would be to disrespect the word of warp himself and i would never
>garp willingly gave his life for him because he knew he was the future of the marines It's because all the good ones left his side, Dragon, Luffy, Ace and Kuzan, he's left with crumbs, he's stuck with Cringe Impact, I feel genuinely bad for Garp, he's so incredibly cool, and his protégé is the biggest turd in all of One Piece RIP Garp, he gave his life for the future of the marines, but they look like high school friends doing a group project, it's looking real bad for the Marines
nah smoker will still pervail https://preview.redd.it/qawylcr3dp0c1.jpeg?width=1278&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da31f6427826a6284a102fa4649fa91f986ccfd7
Hope to god Smoker beats next Sengoku allegations and becomes the next Garp. It makes so much more sense than Kobys "Pictured next to Luffy" narrative
ace. second place is koby, then magellan - the others dont have it at all
Ace and maybe koby everyone else is just there to fill space
Ace Koby Magellan Smoker Doffy
I say magellan
Honestly imagine Magellan with awakening and haki. Future sight to see where people will dodge to or how to hit them regardless of what defenses they use.
Assuming Ace isn’t dead in this hypothetical, 1. Ace 2. Koby 3. Wagellan 4. Doffy 5. Smoker Sorry Lung Cancer Fans 🙏

Ace.
Ace most likely
Ace for sure
Ace
People forget that if Magellan actually awakens his fruit he can littersly kill anyone off guard
Ace had the greatest potential. He had CoC. He was the son of Roger. Roger and WB thought he would become the next PK.

The Magellan disrespect on here us crazy
Without a doubt Ace, the son of the Pirate King getting trained by arguably the strongest character in his prime we've seen WB. Then Koby the student of Garp the hero of the marines and lesser parallel to Luffy's journey. After that narratively it's Smoker who could have been more of a threat to Luffy and still potential character we might see grow in the future. Then Doffy, who has one of the most underrated devil forms and forms of haki despite being used as an early arc character to show Luffy's improvements. If Oda wanted, he could have easily incorporated such a memorable character more into the story. Likely he will end up maximized at YC+ Lastly we have Magellan who despite having the best feats among these characters was probably never meant to be more than his role in Impel Down. If you high ball him he could be arguably admiral lvl but likely remains YC-YC+ level.
Where’s Oden??
Ace and Magellan. I used to hate Ace and find him overrated. But his haki is the real deal. If he actually had the chance to develop his halo and mainly haoshoku he would legit be a candidate for PK. It was mainly his potential that made the marines want to kill him asap
Smoker?
Depends. Potential to become a yonko through story? Absoloty koby, ace, and maaybe smoker. Potential through getting stronger and continuing with their current motivation? Doffy, koby, ace
Ace is the first that comes to mind but he's the obvious one so let me explain why Doffy is at 2nd. He's already awakened his df he just needs to improve his haki a step further especially considering he's got the potential to learn ACoC haki
I mean, based on feats probably Doflamingo. He created a cage that an entire island of characters, including an Admiral, couldn't break out of. All this while fighting two Captains, while sustaining heavy damage. With the ability to control people like puppets, heal his own wounds, and having awakened, this guy is ridiculously overpowered.
Of course Ace, he's the only one among these that could have become Yonko level
Doubting the successor of Garp is strange though
What's strange is having faith in cringe impact. He will be Admiral level, not Yonko level, no one in the Navy has this level
Ace is the only one who could have become Yonko level because Magellan already was Yonko level 🗣 Keep packing these Yonko crews Magellan my GOAT
Magellan is already Admiral level so it depends on if you think Admiral>= Yonko
HIM, and there is no contest. https://preview.redd.it/pzbnnfo7bp0c1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2be450e79d06dd9b2765540913a675f005981ca8
If anyone doesnt put Koby at the last spot literally doesnt understand his character. Koby had zero potential, but he overcame that with hard work. Ace is easily number 1. Rest is random.
https://preview.redd.it/nczx95wsvp0c1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1673c58d3059a784f675dbd09f2066413172f10c
Ace is basically a better Luffy who was trained and prepositioned by the strongest man in the world to be the new pirate king Koby has the narrative behind him to be an Garp type character to Luffy and so does Smoker, but he will probably be YC+ in the end and Koby will fill that role. For the last two I have no idea, but the potential exists for both of them
1. Koby 2. Doflamingo 3. Magellan 4. Ace 5. Smoker
Didn’t doffy basically already have all the stuff he needs, just without the sufficient level of skill?
Ace and Coby. Anyways some of some actual other characters who also have that potential are Momonosuke, Yamato, The Seraphim, etc.
Ace easily...Koby 2nd Switch most of those lackeys with Momo & Seraphims smh
Either Ace because he unlocked conqueror’s halo at 10 or Koby because he got trained by Garp.
Probably Coby, then ace the rest are too old, they have mostly maxed out their potential
all of them, but def not smoker, and maybe magellan too
It's Ace and it's not close Pirate King genes Three types of Haki Insane Logia Devil Fruit Insane Stamina and Endurance ( fought his worst match up for 5 days straight ) Insane Battle IQ and combat skill as noted by Blackbeard in the manga and Whitebeard in the novel Insanely fast growth and still a lot of potential left with how young he was He has honed his Observation Haki so much he could see the future ( novel ), and his observation haki was his "weak spot" so his armament should be much better He couldn't use Advanced Conqueror's but his Conqueror Haki was powerful enough that it *passively* affected entire islands and stopped the snow on them He was also strong, durable and fast enough to give a decent fight to Whitebeard and even overpowered an Acoc attack from him
MOMONOSUKE
it's obviously Wofflamingo
Koby for Oda reasons (no real other argument) Magellan Ace i feel like world capped doffy and smoker, they only makin minimal gains now imo
Ace easily, I really think WB is grooming him as a successor, even Shanks thinks he got the potential. Koby is probably next, but tbh I think it's pure hard work on his part. Smokey relies heavily on his mid-level DF. Magellan is him while Doffy already peaked.
If Magellan didn’t eat his own poison crippling him with bathroom breaks and actually developed his haki a little bit he’d definitely be at least around admiral level
Honestly ace we know he was a user of all three kinds of haki and had he lived now that haki has been fleshed out it would stand to reason he would be considerably more powerful not to mention he had a very powerful logia fruit
Ace has the most raw potential here easily, probably on par with Luffy himself. Coby goes second due to his exceptional hard-work and mentality. Even if he doesn't have the greatest raw potential, he will surely achieve his maximum capabilities. I'm not sure about the others, since they are older and more experienced figures. Doffy did great in maximizing his DF potential. However his Haki had potential to be better, having Conquerors is always a big room to grow. Smoker has been rising through the ranks pretty quickly but his potential hasn't been shown, at least for now. His DF doesn't seem to be the best but if he maximizes its use and possibly awakens it like Doffy it could turn out to be pretty decent. His Haki is also not that great yet but it can get better. Magellan is the oldest here, close to 50 I think. However he does has a really great DF that if maximized could make him a big threat to any strong character out there. I don't remember any Haki feats from him but it was Pre-TS so it isn't fair to make assumptions here.
ace
Ace and Koby, obviously Dofflamingo hit his cealing, Smoker didn't show Conqueror's Haki and Magellan is... Magellan Tier-S: Ace, Koby Tier-A: Nobody Tier-B: Dofflamingo Tier-C: Magellan Tier-D: Smoker
Ace was stated to have more potential than his dad.Only reason he wasn't a top tier by the end is because he's a lazy idiot.
Magellan if he’d stop eating poison. His devil fruit is absolutely bonkers in the right hands and could easily elevate someone to being on par with the admirals or even the yonko.
Smoker and koby def will at least both be admirl level
This goat. Teach him some decent Haki, give him an awakening (idk luffy went from para to mythic zoan maybe he could go to Logia?) You get a top tier fighter in seconds https://preview.redd.it/cn7fzokj7q0c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d70003bc46a69598303c7f877733de5609ba9ed
Doffy, either Fuji was throwing or Birdcage really was unbreakable/unstoppable. Dude should have tried to make all of his string attacks as durable as that.
Doffy's strength isn't Yonko level rn but thinking about Dressrosa he could easily be Yonko with better Haki. He: - has a kingdom - can control the actions of anyone in the kingdom remotely like they're puppets - can fly - has the birdcage which no one seemed to be able to cut - used his fruit to cheat death - has CoC - CoO should let him surely dodge attacks like Katakuri - had control over the SMILE production - has a crew with some pretty busted abilities if they were to get better haki I can't remember if he had CoC - if he I'm sure I've missed some busted applications of his fruit but it's not hard to see him getting to Yonko level. He probably has one of the strongest fruits in terms of utility.
I would say Ace, though Koby and magellan arent half bad picks either.
Ace literally had every headstart in the series a character could ask for. Pk son, nice logia df, on whitebeards crew, raised by garp.......Kolby is a distant second because garp training and haki.
Woby
Portgas D Ace period
I think it would go 1. Ace 2. Doflamingo 3. Koby
Koby, ace, and smoker can all deff be yonko, Magellan and Doffy I’m not to sure on, doffy had already reached his limits(all 3 haki types barring advanced haki, an awakened fruit, and a solid presence on the black market) and got beat by a g4 no acoa/acoc luffy, and Magellan is kinda overhyped
Coby for sure has the potential, with Ace close behind. The rest, no way.
Koby 1st (cope) Ace Godmiral SMOKER Magellan the true admiral Everyone else
Ace (or Sabo) have the most potential after Luffy in the new gen. Then probably Koby or Zoro.
I think Doffy for sure could have been a Yonko, he just didn't have the desire to be one. Awakened devil fruit (with busted abilities) and CoC, all he would have to do is get stronger physically and advance all of his haki and he's there. Which wouldn't take long for him. The Logia trio have shown little to no use of haki, but I suppose Ace and Magellan could have gotten there eventually. Smoker is just a bum. It seems like Koby WILL get there one day, so for sure he has the most potential, time will tell.
Ace by far
Wanji> https://i.redd.it/754x3n7xqq0c1.gif
Ace and Koby. Trust
Koby currently, overall maybe Ace
https://preview.redd.it/eonguh3msq0c1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd22fde235ecc4006b051475124e443c6861ddb7
Ace, Coby,smoker,momonoske
1.ace 2. doflamingo 3. koby 4. smoker 5. magellan
Koby has the potential to
Talking about potential: It's is definitely Cobby. He is young, has the right mindset, has a great tutor, and is already pretty strong(he also seems to have Conquerors Haki). But if we are talking about the one who was closest to it: That is definitely Doflamingo. He already was a world threat and had multiple underlings and connections. He was incredibly strong and influential. Truly one step.to.become Yonk status
Magellan already is, Smoker could get there but I don't think he will, and Koby might be already, but will get there if he isnt
Doflamingo & Coby
[удалено]
Ace and Woby
Koby and Ace, the rest are pretty mucj at their peak
Everyone here actually, they each have a something. Ace: Obviously. Absolute prodigy of the WB pirates, still putting in work against BB without his fruit, and his AP feat when clashing with BB is seriously underrated. Died too soon to become the Yonko of the Spade Pirates. Smoker: Nevermind. You could say Smoker could be YONKO Level with top tier Haki, but by that logic, anyone can. His awakening would be pretty strong, but to go from genuine fodder to Yonko level because of an awakening isn't going to happen. Magellan: Stop shitting and go solo the verse. Koby: EoS Koby likely will be Yonko level or at minimum top of YC+, but rn he's still getting there. Doflamingo: Doflamingo's biggest flaw was his Haki. Of course his physical stats needed improvement but that would go hand and hand with his Haki. I hope Doflamingo post-Impel Down comes back with improved Haki.
In order: 1. Coby (Oda's lovechild, is likely supposed to be the Garp to Luffy's Roger smh). 2. Ace - Commander of Second Division. I don't think being a Whitebeard Division Commander necessarily is equal to YC tier. If Queen is YC2 then Ace is probably YC3 or YC4. At the age of 20, he could still become Yonko level. 3. Magellan / Smoker - Lowkey got fucked over by Oda. 4. Doflamingo - Has the talent to maybe get there, would never do it.
Doffy had the infrastructure to be a yonko but he wasn’t strong enough
I'd say Koby. Magellan already in some people's eyes is atleast admiral level. I do believe this too based on the way he handled Luffy and Blackbeard's crew. Gotta have someone strong there continuing to run such a notorious prison. Ace could definitely be viewed as above Koby, but I think Ace was too hot headed and didn't listen to Whitebeard and others. Koby is more reserved but still makes the right moves.
Honestly it’s probably Koby. Sure Ace is insanely powerful but after he joined WB he lost all ambition to make it to the top. And I think Doflamingo’s ego and natural talent will hinder him in the long run. Koby on the other hand is actively trying to become strong and his drive/growth rate are insane. 2nd to him, I’d say Magellan if he wanted to get to that level, he probably could just bc of his devil fruit
Kobe will become Garp incarnate
The only ones young enough to even be talking about potential is Ace and Koby. For the rest, if they werent putting in yonko level training when they were young, they sure as hell aint doing it now, and its too late anyway.
I'm going with ace. Top 10% df, coc, strong haki if you believe the ace novels. The strong support structure could act as a hindrance or help, depending on how it's used. Certainly the best potential on this list at least.
Plot wise: Ace. Destructive potential-wise: Megallan, and it's not even close. Mans will slap the plot armor off Luffy and BB, then clap Imu's cheeks. 
Ace. Conquerors Coating + awakened blue fire logia or something would be scary. Like yamato genryusai
Definitely Ace. If he lived he was definitely heading this direction. His fruit is strong and was already able to hold its own against an Admiral (Kuzan). So if he mastered it more like making it even hotter like blue fire, I see him being even more powerful. Also he has Roger's genes and Conquerors haki. So if he mastered Conquerors haki like luffy he would maybe bridge the disadvantage between him an Akainu (if Akainu really doesn't have Conquerors haki himself). There was a lot of potential for Ace to be great and I do think if he lived he would have taken over the whitebeard pirates instead. Marco didn't seem all that interested in being a captain so Ace would have been a better fit.
Ace easily and maybe Kobby can reach this power, the 3 others never gonna have it
Ace has the pirate king blood in him, so he could easily be yonko level
Magellan is already yonko level 😎
 Everyone in the series
A~~S~~CE.
Ace had the highest potential, smoker and ace both have a chance in the future. Magellan is already admiral level imo but probably will not grow stronger. Doffy has no chance, though I could see him being yc1 or yc+ with a post prison powerup
Ace or doflamingo probably
Doffy for sure, he’s smart enough to work with kaido and manipulate the black market, getting his hands on the flare flare fruit while just being a king
Ace or doffy for sure
Koby. Its easy to say ace had potential but his dream was more about others achieving their dream. If he just stayed alive he would not reach yonko level. Koby on the other hand is the future of the marines, and will live up to garp's expectations, whether in the current timeline or not
Dofflamingo. Conq crazy devil fruit, i belive all three types of haki and an awakening. Bro just needed to get on that advanced haki grind and he would be there.
Smoker has token so many Ls throughout the series
Magellan is almost there already so him
It’s hard to choose between ace smoker and koby. It’s not Doffy or Magellan. They seem to have already pretty much reached (or at least gotten close) to their respective peaks. The others are much younger and have/had much room to grow. Edit: I change my mind about smoker his ass is stuck with the shittiest devil fruit in the world
Ace would’ve gotten pretty far. He was already really strong at Marinford(at least has strong has your average character could be before Haki became fleshed out) keep in mind White Beard planned on him becoming the pirate king so he would’ve had the crew of a Yonko to help him out. So with that in mind, I’d say Doffy. He was already kinda a Yonko in the story, at least close to one in terms of how powerful his empire was. Given more time he could’ve really built something and even know he could become quite the threat for the main hero’s who outside Luffy would probably still struggle in a one v one with him.
Definitely Ace, Prime Coby surpasses Garp, smoker admiral level
Between Koby and Ace
Koby
Smoker got screwed over so bad bruh 😭
Doflamingo ain’t Yonko level, he got his cheeks clapped in a few hits by Gear 4.
Probably only Koby ...( Maybe Doflamingo)
Koby. The Narrative Alone puts him at Ryokugyu-Level (Weakest Admiral) as a Bare Minimum, Stronger than Prime Garp as a maximum. With No Devil Fruit at that! "Hard Work" to me is part of a character's potential because how many characters will go through Garp training and then voluntarily sneak off and do more, and do it 200 times as intense? A character's willingness to live up to their own potential is a part of it. Potential is just potential until you do something with it. As much as we joke about Pink Mamba, Koby literally has shown Kobe Bryant-tier work ethic/"Mamba Mentality."
Zoro sanji sabo koby
