One Piece has been around for more than two decades, and during that time, fans have met dozens of pirate crews. The strongest crews are all vying for power in the New World, but there are four crews that stand above the rest who all rule large portions of territory, which is why their captains are known as the Four Emperors. With Whitebeard gone, the group consists of Shanks, Big Mom, Blackbeard, and Kaido, and they are regarded as the four strongest pirates alive.
Each Emperor has incredibly powerful Observation, Armament, and Conqueror's Haki, and three of them have terrifying Devil Fruit powers. Not many Bleach characters would be able to beat all Four Emperors, but there are a few who could certainly pull it off.
10 Aizen Can Hypnotize Them All With His Shikai
The Four Emperors are all powerful, but if they were to ever take on Aizen, they would be dealing with someone who is considered to be fairly overpowered. Aizen possesses immense spiritual power, and he is a Kido and Flash Step master who gained true immortality after fusing with the Hogyoku.
His Zanpakuto is the true threat though, as Kyoka Suigetsu's Shikai takes control of all five of a person's senses, placing them under a form of complete hypnosis. Aizen could probably take on all Four Emperors without Kyoka Suigetsu, but he would most likely use his Zanpakuto to make them all attack each other without them even realizing it.
9 Mayuri's Poisonous Zanpakuto Can Take Them All Down
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's body may have its secrets, but he is still an ordinary Soul Reaper who happens to be extremely intelligent. In terms of strength, Kurotsuchi is not that impressive, and he would probably lose to each of the Emperors if it was not for his Zanpakuto.
His sword's name is Ashisogi Jizo, and if he were to stab them with his Shikai, venom would enter their bodies and sever the brain signals that control movement. If he can't stab them with the Shikai, he can always use his Bankai to create a massive caterpillar-like creature with a baby head that exudes poison and can take them all down.
8 Toshiro Hitsugaya's Perfected Bankai Includes A Powerful Flash Freezing Ability
Toshiro Hitsugaya might be the youngest of Soul Society's captains, but he is one of the strongest because he wields one of the most powerful kido-type Zanpakuto. Hyorinmaru's Shikai wouldn't cause any of the Emperors much trouble because they can smash through its ice attacks with their Haki.
His Bankai might be able to take out Shanks and Big Mom since it basically gives Toshiro control of all the moisture in the area, but Kaido would be able to blow away the ice with his dragon form while Blackbeard absorbs the ice with his Devil Fruit. In its perfect form, though, Toshiro just needs to point at them, and they will all be instantly flash-frozen in ice that would negate their powers.
7 Zommari Rureaux Can Take Over All Their Bodies With His Resurrección
Zommari Rureaux was the 7th Espada, and he possessed a very troublesome Resurrección. When he releases his Zanpakuto, Zommari's body gets covered in roughly 50 eyes, and each eye can take control of something it looks at by placing a sun-shaped tattoo on the target.
If he places one of these tattoos on an Emperor's arm, he can make them attack themselves, and the only way to stop this would be to cut the right tendons. If he were to put these tattoos on their heads, he would take complete control of their bodies and use them as his own personal soldiers.
6 Anything Gremmy Imagines Becomes Reality
Many fans believe that the Sternritter ruined Bleach, which is an entirely fair opinion since several of them had very overpowered abilities. For example, Gremmy was known as the Visionary who had the power to turn anything in his imagination into reality.
In a normal fight, the Four Emperors would decimate someone like Gremmy, but this Sternritter doesn't even need to move a muscle to beat them. All he needs to do is visualize a pair of Seastone handcuffs on their wrists and Big Mom, Kaido, and Blackbeard would be out of the fight, and if that didn't work, he could simply imagine the blood flowing through their bodies was made of acid.
5 Shunsui Kyoraku's 4-Step Bankai Would Be Too Much To Handle
Shunsui Kyoraku's Zanpakuto possesses quite a few abilities, but thanks to their Observation and Armament Haki, the Four Emperors would probably be able to overcome his Shikai. His Bankai though is a completely different monster, and it would even be able to work on a Logia user like Blackbeard.
The Bankai has four stages, but none of the Emperors would survive the first three. The first stage allows Shunsui to share all of his injuries with the Emperors, while the second stage will cause black spots to appear on their bodies, and they would bleed from those spots profusely. The third stage would engulf them all in a massive body of water until they drown from having all their energy drained.
4 Lille's X-Axis Ability Can Pierce Through Anything, Including Haki
Under normal circumstances, a projectile would never be able to harm a Logia user like Blackbeard, but seeing as the Dark-Dark Fruit forces his body to remain physical, he can certainly be beaten by Lille Barro too. This Quincy's ability is called The X-Axis, and it allows his rifle to pierce through anything in his line of sight.
This ability cannot be blocked, which means that Blackbeard cannot absorb it and that it would go straight through their Armament Haki. If both of his eyes are open, his entire body can pierce enemy attacks, which means that any attacks the Emperors throw at him would simply phase through him.
3 Uryu Can Simply Reverse Any Critical Damage
Uryu is one of several characters who failed to have a major impact on the series, but he did obtain a pretty useful power when he agreed to join the Sternritter. He was given a power called, Antithesis, and it gives him the ability to pick two targets and reverse anything that occurred between them.
If Uryu really wanted, he could take on each Emperor individually and allow them to inflict one fatal wound on him, and he could then use Antithesis to reverse the damage so the Emperor would die instead. If he repeats this process with each Emperor, he will leave the entire encounter virtually unharmed.
2 Baraggan's Power Would Cause Each Emperor To Die From Rapid Aging
Several One Piece fights were completely one-sided, but if the Four Emperors were to face off against Baraggan, he would probably beat them all in less than a minute. Each Espada represents an aspect of death, and Baraggan represents old age and decay.
When he releases his Zanpakuto, Baraggan's aging power drastically increases to the point that anything in his vicinity begins to rapidly age and decay, and he can produce a type of miasma that will cause anything it touches to rot. The Emperors may be powerful, but even they cannot withstand rapid aging.
1 Ichibe Hyosube Can Negate All Their Abilities With His Ink
Ichibe Hyosube leads Soul Society's Royal Guard, and he has the power to take away every Emperor's Haki and Devil Fruit Power. Ichibe named everything within Soul Society, which is why his Zanpakuto looks like a large calligraphy brush, and when he uses its Shikai, it transforms into a type of glaive that releases ink.
If this ink touches any of the Emperors, they will lose their names and their powers, and he can then absorb those powers and use them as his own. His Bankai allows him to change the names of anything his ink touches, and the target then assumes those properties. This means that he can say each Emperor is a brittle leaf, and their bodies would all become as brittle as a leaf.
