The World Nobles, also known as the Celestial Dragons, are descendants of 19 of the 20 founding Kings of the organization known as the World Government. Several of the One Piece series antagonists, such as the Five Elders, Don Quixote Doflamingo, or even the Celestial Dragons present in the Sabaody Archipelago, are part of this family of descendants. The Celestial Dragons are extremely powerful characters, although they rarely fight; their fighting skills are usually very debatable. In this article, we will analyze all the 13 Celestial Dragons and rank them by strength for your enjoyment.

15. Homing’s wife

In spite of her delicate condition, being a Celestial Dragon granted Homing’s spouse the power to call upon a Navy Admiral for instant aid when under attack. Thirty-three years before the present narrative unfolded, they willingly relinquished their World Nobility titles, encountering deceit and animosity from others. They chose to live peacefully in a northern land, oblivious to the locals’ disdain for World Nobility. Consequently, they endured persecution that included the burning of their home, plunging them into poverty. They suffered through torture, hardship, and eventually, she passed away due to illness.

14. First Lady

In the One Piece Film: Gold, Saint Camael’s companion is called “First Lady,” according to the film guide titled One Piece Film: Gold – Backstage Pass. This nickname refers to the colloquial title given to a president’s spouse in an unofficial context. It remains uncertain whether “First Lady” is her actual name or a title for partners of Celestial Dragons. Not much information is disclosed about her, apart from her intimidating demeanor.

13. Mjosgard’s Father

In the story, Mjosgard’s Father, much like the other characters, exhibits an overbearing sense of self-importance and a belief in his own superiority. He is a connoisseur of wine, frequently attended by his servants. His lofty social position grants him the luxury to disregard minor duties, yet he holds considerable power, even calling upon a Navy Admiral should he deem it necessary for his protection. Approximately ten years past, he granted his son permission to visit Fish-Man Island, accompanied by nothing but female servants who catered to his wine preferences and had the newspaper read aloud to him.

12. Saint Rosward

In a position of great power as a World Noble, Rosward boasts an unrestricted lifestyle, capable of summoning an admiral for protection. However, his combat skills are lacking, making him vulnerable and easy to defeat. The story begins with Rosward and his daughter Shalria monitoring Dias, a former slave who was once under their control, as he attempts to escape. Shalria displays a harsh side by shooting at Dias, only for the pirate captain Jean Bart to reveal himself as a demonic figure.

At the Human Auction House, Rosward and his children Charlos and Shalria encounter conflict when Charlos attempts to purchase Camie. Luffy steps in to prevent this, causing Rosward to threaten to summon an admiral. This plan is foiled by Sanji and Usopp. As events unfold, a dejected and defeated Rosward regains consciousness to learn of his son’s fate, prompting him to travel to the Heavenly Dragons’ gate on a rented slave named Kuma. Along the way, he acknowledges Kuma’s pain and resistance.

11. Saint Shalria

In a position of immense power as a World Noble, Shalria commands absolute rule, able to call upon an Admiral to enforce her decrees. However, unlike her elevated status suggests, she shows a fragile resolve, falling unconscious at the hands of Rayleigh’s Haki. Similar to other Celestial Dragons, she carries a gun, hinting at a murderous intent towards Camie. The extent of her marksmanship is unclear. Shalria first appears when her servant Devil Dias flees, dismissively ridiculing his cowardice before fatally shooting him after his amulet detonates. She later attempts to execute Camie at the Human Auction House but is foiled by Rayleigh. Outside the auction house, she reveals her fury at the Marines’ inability to stop the Straw Hats, vowing to capture them and force them to grovel for her forgiveness before leading them to eternal torment.

10. Saint Charlos

In his role as a Celestial Dragon, Saint Charlos wields immense, unrestricted power, allowing him to summon an admiral for defense if harmed. Though he boasts excellent vision, his physical strength is poor and he can be quickly felled by Luffy. Charlos carries a golden pistol, yet his aim leaves much to be desired, often missing his intended targets. Cruelty characterizes him as he cold-bloodedly slays civilians, abuses slaves, and even employs humans as mere means of transportation. His overbearing arrogance compels him to bulldoze a stretcher and demand a nurse marry him on the spot. Zoro bravely challenges him, but Jewelry Bonney steps in to prevent any confrontation.

Afterward, Charlos makes his entrance at the slave market where he buys Camie, the mermaid, for an astounding 500 million Berries. When Luffy attempts to free Camie, Charlos, filled with animosity towards fish-men, fires upon Octo, a fellow fish-man, causing Luffy to defend himself. Despite the looming presence of an Admiral, Luffy overpowers Charlos and rescues his kin. At a later point, Charlos, gazing from Mary Geoise, demonstrates a fascination with Shirahoshi.

9. Saint Pluming

In a more approachable manner: Just like other World Nobles, Pluming shows a haughty and self-important demeanor, demanding obedience and respect from the common folk. He’s not one to tolerate mistakes from his slaves, and if they become useless to him, he doesn’t hesitate to take their lives. Furthermore, Pluming is often depicted as a coward.

8. Saint Jalmack

In his role as a high-ranking aristocrat, Jalmack consistently exhibits cold-heartedness and disregard towards the less fortunate, swiftly eliminating anyone who dares defy him, including innocent children such as Sabo. He is frequently accompanied by three servants, whom he subjects to harsh treatment, and shows no qualms about enslaving others. Jalmack justifies his actions under the guise of absolute justice and his position as a World Noble, asserting the power to take lives that hinder him. Unlike many nobles, he prefers a bazooka, which seems to offer enhanced precision due to its sight.

Twelve years ago, Jalmack traveled to the Kingdom of Goa, located in East Blue. When he spotted Sabo’s ship, he fired a bazooka at the child, claiming piracy and insubordination as reasons. This ruthless act did not prevent him from being escorted into the city along with his slaves and the royal guard, demonstrating the absolute power held by World Nobles.

7. Saint Donquixote Mjosgard

As a high-ranking figure in his world, Mjosgard wields unchecked power, calling upon a naval commander to counter perceived dangers, sometimes even attacking fellow nobles without any outside interference. Although he enjoys the luxuries of his society, he demonstrates impressive physical prowess, surviving lethal underwater attacks that claimed the lives of his companions. Similar to other World Nobles, Mjosgard carries a firearm, using it to intimidate the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island and even shooting them for personal entertainment.

In Mary Geoise, he uses a spiked mace to chastise Charlos for his arrogance and mistreatment, highlighting the intricate relationships and power battles within the ranks of the World Nobles.

6. Donquixote Doflamingo

In the criminal underworld, Doflamingo, the head of Donquixote Doflamingo’s pirate crew and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, wields a substantial amount of power. His influence extends across multiple warring nations in the New World, making him a crucial middleman in the underworld dealings. After being defeated by Luffy, Doflamingo’s influence is so profound that it leads numerous countries to capitulate.

Known for his wide network of contacts, Doflamingo effortlessly obtained the Mera Mera no Mi, a powerful Devil Fruit, and a decade prior, successfully claimed wealth destined for the Celestial Dragons. However, because his father opted to live an ordinary life, Doflamingo lost his World Noble privileges. Upon killing his father at age 10, he was unable to regain his status at Mary Geoise, the residence of the World Nobles.

Even though he was stripped of his World Noble title, Doflamingo found a way to elude capture and uncovered the hidden treasure of Marie-Joie. This secret knowledge gave him the means to regain his Celestial Dragon privileges, which allowed him to control the world by employing strategies such as faking his resignation as a Grand Corsair and mobilizing the CP-AIGIS0 for his purposes.

Doflamingo ruled as the ruler of Dressrosa for a full ten years, taking over from King Riku by using deceit and force. This led to his oppressive rule over the entire kingdom, while he kept his true self concealed. His power is such that Trafalgar Law postponed their confrontation, conserving energy to boost his chances of victory.

5. Donquixote Rosinante

From birth, Corazon hailed as a member of the Donquixote Family, held the distinction of being a World Noble. This status afforded him political power, luxurious lifestyle, limitless wealth, and the ability to command an Admiral of the Navy at his beck and call. However, when his family chose the path from Mary Geoise to piracy, he forfeited these privileges, transforming into a fugitive in the eyes of society.

Previously serving as second-in-command within the powerful Donquixote Doflamingo Pirate crew, Corazon showcased remarkable might, capable of single-handedly demolishing hospitals.

Heart devoured the Nagi Nagi no Mi, a type of Devil Fruit belonging to the Paramecia class, which bestowed upon him the unique ability to generate invisible soundproof areas. With this power, he was able to convincingly portray deafness and mute-hood, managing to dodge Doflamingo’s suspicions for an extended duration.

4. Donquixote Homing

As a member of the esteemed World Nobility, Homing boasted unrivaled perks, unfettered power, and the ability to command an Admiral for defense. His vast fortune and global political clout were second to none. Yet, upon stepping down from the World Nobles, he relinquished these advantages and was left with a modest fortune in his possession.

As a movie enthusiast might put it, growing up in the harsh lands of North Blue, I was oblivious to the biases that plagued my heritage and lacked the backing of the World Government. This left me struggling to survive amidst scarcity, striving hard to feed myself and my offspring, making us easy targets for the mistreatment dished out by the common folk.

3. Saint Camael

Camael, a high-ranking individual, keeps a mysterious demeanor. Wearing an oxygen mask hints that he may not want to leave his city, Mary Geoise, or mix with ordinary people, possibly considering them inferior, much like how other Celestial Dragons view the common populace. Camael has a peculiar habit of constantly shaking his head and making a repetitive sound. As a World Noble, he’s exempt from the laws of the World Government, so any attempt to harm him requires an Admiral to step in.

2. Garling Figarland

Garling, a high-ranking celestial being, often views those below him with contempt, referring to them as “waste.” He is merciless in upholding World Noble laws and traditions, often criticizing fellow nobles who show compassion towards lower-class individuals. His ruthlessness was evident during the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley 38 years ago, where he participated in the mass killing of an entire island’s population as a form of entertainment.

As a young man, Garling exuded self-assurance about his talents, viewing a 10,000-point penalty in a hunting competition as just another challenge to add excitement. Undaunted by the arrival of the mighty Rocks and Roger Pirates on God Valley, he stood resolute, eager to engage them, demonstrating his steadfast resolve and eagerness to tackle the strongest crews of the era.

Garling holds the position of the Supreme Leader for the Divine Knights, wielding power over them and having the capacity to make decisions, including reprimanding fellow World Nobles for unacceptable conduct. As a World Noble himself, he’s entitled to standard benefits and riches. Though details about his fighting skills are scarce, his command of the Divine Knights, a group that attracts Monkey D. Dragon’s attention, suggests that he is regarded as a powerful figure among the World Nobles.

1. The Five Elders

In their position as top administrators of the World Government, subordinate only to Im, the Gorosei hold immense power. They oversee the World Government, the Marines, and CP0. They have the ability to act independently, sometimes going against instructions from figures like Sengoku and Sakazuki. Their jurisdiction extends as far as reclassifying Devil Fruits and controlling what information is shared publicly.

The Gorosei strive to uphold a favorable public image for the World Government and have resorted to drastic measures, including obliterating entire islands to mask findings from the Void Century and cloaking major incidents such as Moria’s zombie horde and the escape of Impel Down level 6 inmates. On occasion, their actions have led to disputes with figures like Sengoku and Sakazuki.

In contrast to their enigmatic might, the Gorosei display impressive physical abilities, evident through their scars and muscular build. Unlike the pampered World Nobles, certain members of the Gorosei appear battle-hardened, one even carrying a sword frequently, hinting at a possible past filled with combat, unlike the usual peaceful lifestyle of Celestial Dragons.
