O Buster Call represents immense power, conferred only on figures of relevant prestige.
Its use, although rare, always results in significant devastation. This method of attack involves the participation of elite admirals and an arsenal of warships.
Faced with the admirals’ overwhelming strength, few manage to escape a Buster Call with their lives. Let’s explore some “One Piece” characters who have the skills to survive this devastating force.
7. Monkey D. Luffy: Unparalleled Strength and Skill
Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Yonkou, is recognized as one of the most powerful pirates in the world. Known for his ability to strengthen himself during battles, Luffy has mastery over the three types of Haki and their advanced variants. He has the ability to predict the future and attack enemies in a devastating internal way. Furthermore, Luffy holds the power of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Model: Nika, which gives him abilities of the ancient Sun God. With victories against opponents such as Crocodile, Lucci, Katakuri and Kaido, Luffy demonstrates the ability to survive a Buster Call .
6. Shanks: Respected and Powerful Yonko
Shanks, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, is one of the most revered characters in “One Piece”. Although he does not possess a Devil Fruit, his mastery over Haki is unparalleled. Shanks is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki, including Conqueror’s Haki, which allows him to prevent others from using Future Foresight. He also has excellent control over Busoshoku Haki, having previously used this ability to block attacks from Akainu and other notable characters. Although his battle skills have not been fully tested, it is likely that Shanks can face a Buster Call without difficulty.
5. Dracule Mihawk: The Ultimate Swordsman
Dracule Mihawk holds the title of strongest swordsman in the world, a feat that commands respect and fear. Before the abolition of the Shichibukai system, Mihawk was a prominent member, losing his status with the system’s dissolution. He was later invited by Crocodile to join the Crusader Guild. Despite not having yet participated in a large-scale combat that would allow him to fully display his skills, Mihawk is recognized by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of “One Piece”, as a superior swordsman even to Shanks. Based on his prestige and swordsmanship, it is quite likely that Mihawk has the ability to survive a Buster Call without taking significant damage.
4. Big Mom: A Threat to Friends and Foes
Big Mom, the only woman to appear among the Yonko, was the main antagonist in two arcs of the series: Whole Cake Island and Wano Country. She possesses a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which gives her the power to manipulate people’s souls. Big Mom can steal someone’s soul, resulting in immediate death, and is also able to strengthen her own physical strength using parts of her soul. Taking into account that it took two Supernovas of great power to defeat her, it is clear that a Buster Call would hardly be a threat to Big Mom.
3. Blackbeard: The Bearer of Two Devil Fruits
Blackbeard ascended to Yonkou status after defeating the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates in the War of Revenge. He stands out for being the only known character to have two Devil Fruits. The first, Yami Yami no Mi, is a Logia-type Devil Fruit, which gives him control over darkness and the ability to absorb anything, in addition to nullifying the powers of other Devil Fruit users. The second, Gura Gura no Mi, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, allowing him to create powerful tremors capable of destroying an entire island. With such extraordinary abilities, Blackbeard certainly has the potential to face and survive a Buster Call.
2. Kaido: Once the Strongest Creature in the World
Kaido, once recognized as the strongest creature in the world, had a remarkable past. He began his journey as an apprentice on Rocks D. Xebec’s ship and, after the God Valley Incident, led his own team. His colossal physical strength allows him to crush enemies with ease. Additionally, he possesses a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, granting him the ability to transform into an immense Azure dragon. Kaido stood out in countless battles, developing an extraordinary level of Haki. His ability to defeat Luffy multiple times during the Wano Country arc is a testament to his strength. Kaido, with his immense power, has all the conditions to resist a Buster Call without major difficulties.
1. Monkey D. Dragon: The World’s Most Notorious Criminal
Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army, is a central figure in “One Piece”. His motivation for forming the army derived from knowledge of global injustices. Under his command, the Revolutionary Army achieved significant success. Although his powers are still a mystery, the fan community speculates that Dragon has a Devil Fruit capable of manipulating wind. As the narrative progresses towards the Final Saga, it is expected that Dragon will be more prominent and reveal his true capabilities. Given its prominent position and suggested potential, it is plausible that Dragon has the ability to survive a Buster Call.
