The 8 strongest swords in One Piece

 

In One Piece there are different types of weapons, but swords are some of the most popular and strongest. Some of the katanas have their own names and are considered national treasures, historical relics, or even works of art. Obviously, several of them are very difficult to obtain or belong to the strongest characters in One Piece and it is quite logical due to the power they contain.

In Luffy's crew, there is already a member who has one of these weapons and is someone worthy of carrying them. However, there are many other swords that stand out for the dexterity and power they can offer to those who wield them. Below, we show you which are the strongest swords in One Piece and why they are so important.

Among all the swords that appear in One Piece, there are some that stand out for their strength, their history, or their importance in the plot. In fact, they are classified into three categories according to their quality, such as Wazamono (skilled grade swords), O Wazamono (high-grade swords), and Saijo O Wazamono (supreme grade swords).

However, Moria, one of the Seven Sea Warriors, desecrated his grave and used his shadow to revive him as a zombie.

Zoro faced Ryuma's zombie and defeated it, obtaining the Shusui. He used it as his sword for several years until he arrived in Wano, where he gave it to Hiyori in exchange for the Enma. The Shusui is a national treasure of Wano and its return was a source of joy for the inhabitants.
