The Elbaf Arc has pushed One Piece deeper into mythology than almost any storyline before it. Ancient gods, fake gods, cursed powers, and Void Century legends now sit at the center of the story as Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hats move deeper into the island of giants.
Not every “god” in Elbaf deserves the title equally, though. Some are oversized pets pretending to rule toy kingdoms. Others carry powers strong enough to threaten the entire world. Here is every major god tied to the Elbaf Arc ranked by actual power.
6. The Ear God & The Needle God
The first so-called gods introduced during the Elbaf storyline turned out to be far less impressive than their titles suggested.
The Ear God was essentially a giant rabbit terrorizing the LEGO-like diorama town where the Straw Hats woke up. The creature looked intimidating at first because everyone in the room seemed tiny by comparison. That illusion disappeared quickly once Luffy handled it with almost no effort. He literally beat the rabbit, cooked it, and ate it shortly afterward.
The Needle God followed the same pattern. The giant hedgehog served as another oversized predator inside the fake “Land of Gods,” but Nami and Zeus neutralized it almost immediately with lightning attacks.
Neither creature possessed Haki, Devil Fruit abilities, or real intelligence. Their “god” status existed purely because terrified prisoners inside the diorama treated them like divine monsters.
5. Iscat, the Cat God
Iscat ranked above the rabbit and hedgehog because it actually functioned as an active enforcer inside Road’s castle.
The giant feline carried far more physical danger than the earlier animals and controlled much of the fake kingdom through brute force. Its size alone made it deadly for ordinary humans trapped inside the miniature environment.
That illusion of dominance collapsed once the Monster Trio stepped in. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Sanji overwhelmed the Cat God quickly and stripped away any remaining mystique surrounding the creature.
Unlike higher-ranked figures in Elbaf, Iscat never displayed supernatural abilities or advanced combat skills. It remained dangerous only within the controlled environment Road created.
4. “Sun God” Road
Before the arc fully revealed Elbaf’s true scale, Road briefly convinced the Straw Hats they had encountered an actual divine ruler.
The giant warrior dressed himself in massive robes and a skull mask, ruling his elaborate diorama world like a self-proclaimed god. In reality, Road was a former member of Hajrudin’s New Giant Warrior Pirates playing fantasy games with captured humans.
That does not mean he is weak. Road still possesses the raw strength expected from an Elbaf giant and managed to capture members of an Emperor’s crew while they slept. Against ordinary pirates, he remains extremely dangerous.
The problem is that his divine image completely falls apart against elite fighters. Once the Straw Hats understood the situation, Road’s “Sun God” identity started looking more like cosplay than actual godhood.
3. The Warrior God of Elbaf
The mysterious Warrior God sits in the middle of the ranking because the character’s direct existence remains unclear, but the influence over Elbaf is undeniable.
Nearly every giant culture, tradition, and battle philosophy on the island traces back to this legendary figure. Elbaf’s obsession with strength, honor, and combat revolves around the Warrior God’s legacy.
The story still has not confirmed whether the deity was an actual historical individual, a symbolic figure, or a previous wielder of a mythical God Fruit from the Void Century. If the Warrior God truly existed physically, the power level likely surpassed ordinary giants entirely.
Right now, reputation carries the ranking more than feats. The mythology surrounding the Warrior God already shapes the behavior of an entire nation of warriors, which alone places the figure above Road and the false gods from the diorama.

2. Prince Loki
Prince Loki already feels like one of the most dangerous characters introduced in modern ‘One Piece’.
The Elbaf military keeps him chained deep within the underworld because his power threatens the entire island. Loki reportedly consumed the legendary Devil Fruit connected to Nidhogg, the mythical serpent tied to destruction and the underworld.
Even more importantly, Imu personally acknowledged Loki as a major threat to global control. That immediately places him in elite territory alongside the most dangerous figures in the series.
Loki combines monstrous physical strength with advanced Haki and an unpredictable personality that makes him almost impossible to control. Elbaf already treats him less like a prince and more like a living catastrophe waiting to break free.
If not for one specific pirate standing above everyone else in the arc, Loki would easily take the top spot.
1. Monkey D. Luffy, the True Sun God
No character in Elbaf currently rivals Monkey D. Luffy in raw mythological importance or combat potential.
Unlike Road, who merely pretended to be a Sun God, Luffy possesses the awakened powers of Nika itself through Gear 5. His abilities now stretch beyond traditional Devil Fruit rules, allowing him to reshape environments, manipulate reality through cartoon-like freedom, and fight opponents on a near-absurd level.
The story already confirmed that figures like the Five Elders and Imu view Nika as a direct threat to the existing world order. Elbaf simply pushes that mythology further into the spotlight.
Luffy also represents the exact opposite of control and oppression. In an arc filled with fake gods, cursed rulers, and ancient fear, he stands as the one figure openly tied to liberation and freedom.
That combination of symbolism, combat ability, and narrative importance makes him the clear strongest “god” currently active in the Elbaf Arc.
The Wild Card: Douzan
Chapter 1183 introduced one final name that immediately changed the larger mythology surrounding Elbaf and the Void Century.
While discussing Luffy and Loki, Imu referenced a mysterious figure named Douzan, stating that both current threats must be erased “just like Douzan.” That single line instantly elevated the character into one of the biggest mysteries in ‘One Piece’.
The story still has not revealed whether Douzan was a previous God Fruit user, Joy Boy himself, a fallen giant warrior, or someone connected to the Man Marked by Flames. What matters is that Imu placed Douzan in the same category as Nika and Nidhogg.
If Douzan truly rivaled those figures in the past, the character likely belongs near the very top of this ranking despite remaining completely unseen so far.
