Silvers Rayleigh
The right hand of the pirate king was known far and wide for his swordsman skills
-
First appearance: episode 8
Before ending up acting as Luffy's mentor after Marineford's war, Rayleigh was the second in the leaders of goals. The crew of D Roger, where he was famous for his combat skills. As a master of Haki, Rayleigh could cut anyone who looked at him or his captain in the wrong way.

Gecko Moia
Moria managed to keep her against Kaido, which is far from an easy undertaking
-
First appearance: episode 343
Although the former Shichibukai Gecko Moria looks like a rather lazy pirate when he made his debut over the thriller bark, this has not always been like this. In fact, when it was still an emerging pirate, he managed to go on tiptoe with Kaido for three whole days. When taking into account the fact that Kaido has always been immensely powerful, it makes this company even more impressive, even if Moria's crew has been completely swept away during the scaramuccia.

With all his crew companions disappeared, Moria would have become depressed, deciding to create a new crew full of zombies and mutants who can face the arriving offenders while sitting and admiring the view from afar. It can be easy to forget how really strong death was when he saw him only in the main story, but the flashbacks reveal that once he was a much more formidable opponent than what Luffy and the crew met.
5
Bellbatiana
The Almighty Balvianca was somehow even stronger in his youth
-
First appearance: episode 95
It is clear from the moment in which White Balvabera presents himself in the story that he is a man who has been more than some battle during his time as a captain. When he enters history, Whitebeard is connected to a vital support machine with doctors who surround him to provide him with help every time he needs it. However, while his health could be deteriorated, he was still able to put an infernal fight during the Marineford war and would even have shocked the swords with his legs not long before he started.
The fruit of the Devil of Balvianca allows him to create whole earthquakes in a few seconds, but his physical strength and mobility are not what they were once when he was riding alongside artists of the caliber of Big Mom and Kaido as part of the crew of the Rocks. As shown in the flashback with him and Roger, Whitebelld has always been incredibly strong, and although the age at the end reached him, honestly he did not end up slowing him down so much.

Shimotsuki Ryuma
Ryuma Reanimated was a slightly dry version of the legendary swordsman
-
First appearance: episode 342
Although Ryuma died technically a little before the One piece The story begins, he returns roundly after being an ananimated by Moria again, who dug the legendary Samurai from his tomb to use as an instrument within his army of Ghoul and Monsters. Zoro would have been lucky enough to collide the swords with Ryuma during the arch of the bark thriller, but it was clear that the latter was much weaker from his peak.
Fans would be able to learn much more on Ryuma and how admired he is among his swordsman companions because of his battle skills in Wano. This is also the reason why Zoro was able to better Ryuma in combat despite being quite early on the journey, since Ryuma was not fighting at his full potential.

Garp
The man who once fought from the notorious rock pirates is still one of the strongest marines
-
First appearance: episode 68
It is honestly a little frightening even to think about how madly strong the hero of the Marines, Garp, had returned to his time, considering that he is still one of the most powerful characters in the series. However, as someone who is attributed to the struggle with the notorious Rocks pirates many years ago, together with goals. D Roger, makes sense why so many Marines look at him as a model.

In the main series, one of the largest Garp companies was able to erase an entire island only to save Koby from the clown clutches with a single punch.

Buckingham Stussy
Whether you believe it or not, the old witch who is around with the tonchio was actually a fearful pirate
-
First appearance: episode 830
The arch of Egghead's story is full of fun and intriguing revelations, but one who seems to come out of nowhere is the revelation of Stussy, or rather, its real form. The Stussy that appeared here and there since it is revealed that the entire arch of the island of the cake is actually a Stussy clone when it was at its peak during its time aboard the rock ship.
In reality, the real underground is the old woman who can always be seen ordering crying to make its offers. When looking at how fast and lethal the clone than the real Stussy, he underlines that he was much stronger as a younger woman, considering that he is now forced to rely on the tonchio to break the damage in modern history.

Sengoku
Sengoku is currently retired after giving the best to Marineford
-
First appearance: episode 151
While most marines have had numerous flashbacks scattered throughout history, which explore their past lives, Sengoku's background remains largely a mystery. However, as someone who was an admiral of the fleet before the Timeskip, it is clear that it was not enchanted when it came to fighting, as shown in the Marineford war, where it turns into its giant shape of golden Buddha to flatten entire groups of pirates with a single punch.
After the Timeskip, however, Sengoku decided to hang the hat forever, delivering the role of leader to Akainu after passing Aokiji in their game on Punk Hazard. In these days, Sengoku can often be found to eat chips or caress the goat, preferring to take a rear seat after reaching so much in his career.
