The entries in this list are in no specific order.
Updated on November 11, 2023, by Rei Penber: Supreme Grade Weapons are incredibly rare in the One Piece world. Fans have only seen a handful of these powerful weapons in the story and just goes to highlight the incredible power that they possessed. Only the strongest of fighters have access to these weapons. Now that One Piece is in the final saga, friends have seen quite a lot more of these weapons as well and their users will stop while this list already goes over the strongest supreme grade weapons in One Piece, more additions have been made. As such, this list has been updated.
7 Dracule Mihawk
Sword: Yoru
Dracule Mihawk is the World's Strongest Swordsman in One Piece and one of the few strongest men in the entire story. Known to have risen to the top at a young age, Mihawk eventually got his hands on Yoru, a black blade. Being a black blade, Yoru is tremendously durable and wouldn't bend an inch even if a dinosaur stepped on it.

In Mihawk's control, Yoru becomes a lethal weapon, as seen during the Paramount War arc. Just a casual slash from the blade was powerful enough to slice through a massive iceberg with rather ease. During his first fight against Zoro, Mihawk could easily have killed him with Yoru had he wished so, but the determination of the young swordsman impressed him enough to let him live.
Mihawk's Supreme Grade Weapon - Yoru
The origins of Yoru are not known in One Piece just yet, however, this sword is exceptionally powerful. Mihawk believes it to be the strongest of swords to exist in One Piece and that might as well be true. It is an all black blade, meaning that it has been infused with Haki consistently over time. It is possible that Yoru might have been one of the 21 Great Grade Swords prior to its blackening and that it was taken to a whole new level once blackening was achieved.
For now, all this is just conjecture, however, in time, fans will definitely get to see more of Yoru and its creation. This weapon appears to be one that specializes in grace. Mihawk has shown graceful slashes being utilized by this weapon and that just goes to show how incredibly it truly is.
6 Whitebeard
Weapon: Murakumogiri
One of the former Yonko, Whitebeard was the wielder of the famous Murakumogiri, a blade known to be one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords in One Piece. It is unknown when exactly Whitebeard got his hands on this weapon, however, during his time with the Rocks Pirates, he already had a Naginata.
One Piece’s Most Dangerous Villain Has a Terrifying Ability
Blackbeard looks to be Luffy's biggest challenge in his journey to find One Piece. Here's what makes him so dangerous.
When Whitebeard fought Roger in the Grand Line, he was seen making use of this weapon by imbuing it with both Armament and Conqueror's Haki. In Marineford, this weapon was once again used for most of his techniques. Along with Haki, Whitebeard could also imbue it with the power of the Gura Gura no Mi and channel it through the naginata, making him an even more dangerous fighter than he already was.
Whitebeard's Supreme Grade Weapon - Murakumogiri
Murakumogiri was only recently confirmed to be a Supreme Grade Weapon, however, the vast majority of the fans expected it to be of a very high class from the get-go. This is because Whitebeard is a Yonko and a pirate who had a 5 billion beri bounty. For such a powerful fighter, having a weapon of this class was absolutely needed.
Murakumogiri isn't a sword but it certainly does classify as a blade. Fans have seen the durability and the strength of this blade on several occasions. For instance, Whitebeard was able to stop a meteor with his blade without it being scratched. Furthermore, he can also cause large-scale destruction with this blade when he infuses it with his quake Devil Fruit as well as his Haki. This blade could sink the entire island of Marineford if Whitebeard let loose and that just goes to show how truly fearsome this Supreme Grade Weapon really is.
5 V. Nusjuro
Sword: Shodai Kitetsu
Thanks to the Final Saga of One Piece, fans finally have the name of all the Five Elders and, the most intriguing one of them all is Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. He's the bald member of the Five Elders who appears to be exceptionally skilled with his sword. All the fans know that he wields the Shodai Kitetsu, which is a famous blade known to be one of the Supreme Grade Swords. This supreme grade sword is believed to be the strongest of the Kitetsu line, which are known to bring terrible luck to their wielders as well as horrific death.
Of course, cursed swords are just swords that demand a strong user, as confirmed by Kozaburo. As such, Nusjuro having this sword is only an indication of the fact that he is immensely overpowered and worthy of controlling the strongest Kitetsu blade. With this Supreme Grade Weapon at his side, one can see why he is one of the strongest people in the entire world of One Piece. It shouldn't be a surprise to the fans if his level of strength is higher than that of the Yonko.
Nusjuro's Supreme Grade Weapon - Shodai Kitetsu
Fans haven't seen much of the Shodai Kitetsu at all. So far, only the appearance of this sword has been revealed to the fans. All of its abilities remain unknown. However, given that it belongs to the Kitetsu line, the powers that it possesses shouldn't be all that different when compared to the other Kitetsu, only much greater. Zoro has previously labeled the Kitetsu to be a problem child and commented on the bloodthirst of this sword. Essentially, this logic is going to apply to the Shodai Kitetsu as well.
Since this is the finest of all the Kitetsu swords, it only makes sense for this Supreme Grade Sword to be even more bloodthirsty. This sword has likely soaked up the blood of countless enemies over the years and fans will most definitely see its terrible powers when V. Nusjuro is called into action in the Final Saga of One Piece.
4 Gol D. Roger
Sword: Ace
Gol D. Roger is the greatest known pirate in the history of One Piece to date and the man famed as the Pirate King. Roger didn't just conquer the Grand Line by reaching Laugh Tale; he was extremely powerful too. In combat, Roger was known to be powerful enough to destroy armies single-handedly, as mentioned by Garp. He was also an unbeatable fighter, with Whitebeard being the only man alive known to have tied a fight with him, although it must be noted that Roger himself was ill.

These popular shows defined their genre to the point where their influence radiates out throughout all of anime today.
To match up to the other greats of the One Piece world, Roger wielded one of the Supreme Grade swords called Ace. This sword was seen being used in his fight against both Kozuki Oden and then Whitebeard. Roger mostly used it to channel both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki to strengthen his attacks. When he fought Oden, Roger used Ace to launch a wave of Conqueror's Haki towards him and against Whitebeard, he used his Conqueror's Haki to match up to the attack launched by Whitebeard.
3 Shanks
Sword: Gryphon
Shanks is another one of the Yonko of the One Piece world and an incredibly powerful pirate. With a bounty of 4,048,900,000 berries, Shanks is just as strong as the other Yonko in the story. During his early life, he dueled Mihawk on countless occasions and earned great fame for himself. Shanks is currently in possession of a saber called Gryphon.
Although the sword isn't confirmed to be one of the Supreme Grade swords, it likely belongs to the rank as well, given that the likes of Roger and Whitebeard had Supreme Grade blades as well. In the upcoming arcs, fans will likely see more focus being thrown on Shanks and how he uses Gryphon in combat.
Shanks's Presumed Supreme Grade Weapon - Gryphon
Shanks possesses a powerful blade called Gryphon that is most definitely a Supreme Grade Weapon. Even though this sword hasn't been confirmed to be Supreme Grade, a Yonko wielding anything less as their main weapon is highly unlikely. It is unknown if Gryphon possesses any special powers or not. However, Shanks was able to use his Conqueror's Haki remotely in conjunction with his sword.
He was able to channel his Haki from several miles and attack his targets. Whether this was made possible through Gryphon or if this is an ability that Shanks has on his own remains to be seen. Nonetheless, Gryphon is exceptionally sharp as it was able to withstand blows from Murakumogiri. It was also able to stop Akainu's magma as if it were nothing.
2 Roronoa Zoro (Future Wielder)
Sword: Enma
Enma is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords that was recently introduced in the Wano country arc of One Piece. It was formerly wielded by Kozuki Oden and was passed on to Kozuki Hiyori, his daughter, after his death. This sword was then given to Roronoa Zoro in exchange for Shusui. While the sword is certainly not a Supreme Grade sword yet, it also hasn't blackened.
One Piece: The Real Vegapunk Finally Makes An Appearance
After weeks of misdirection, the Real Vegapunk has finally shown his face.
According to Kozuki Sukiyaki, a sword's rank increases once it blackens. As such, this sword can eventually turn into a Supreme Grade Weapon as well. Under Zoro, it is a given that the sword will get repeatedly coated in Armament and Conqueror's Haki. By the end of the series, it will certainly have blackened and potentially ascended to the next level.
1 Kozuki Momonosuke (Future Wielder)
Sword: Ame No Habakiri
Ame no Habakiri is yet another one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords in the One Piece world. Just like Enma, it was also wielded by Kozuki Oden ever since his childhood. This sword is known to hold the power to pierce even the heavens themselves. After Oden's death, it was supposed to be passed down to Kozuki Momonosuke, who currently wields it.
As with every sword in the One Piece world, it can also be blackened with the usage of Armament Haki. That would certainly increase its rank and make it one of the Supreme Grade swords, just as Enma would with Zoro. Since Ame no Habakiri is wielded by the greatest Shogun in Wano's history, it would only make sense for this weapon to blacken in the future.
One Piece (1999)
