One Piece has finally returned with an extraordinary chapter after a two-week break, once again leaving fans amazed. In a surprising development, Oda revealed an untold story about the clash between the Roger Pirates and the Kuja Pirates. Through this flashback, the author not only introduced a captivating tale but also indirectly confirmed who will be the strongest woman in One Piece’s future. And that character is none other than one very familiar to fans.
Big Mom Was Once the Strongest Female Character in One Piece

Big Mom was once a terrifying force, the only woman standing alongside the Four Emperors in the world of One Piece. Her power was undeniable. The Soru Soru no Mi Devil Fruit allowed her to control souls, combined with incredibly strong Haki.
Big Mom was always a monster few could face. In Wano, she fought Kaido for days, ending in a stalemate. Even Roger chose to steal her Poneglyph rather than engage in a direct battle.
However, during the Wano arc, Big Mom was taken out of the game by Law and Kid after they teamed up to defeat her. Now, with Big Mom no longer present, the One Piece world needs a new strongest woman to take her place.
New Images of the Kuja Pirates Highlight Hancock’s Potential

In One Piece chapter 1156, Oda shocked fans by bringing them to a legendary battle between the Roger Pirates and the Kuja Pirates. This fight was truly remarkable, as the Kuja Pirates managed to hold their own against Roger’s crew. Although Roger’s crew held back because of Shakky’s beauty, being able to weaken such an opponent was a notable feat, especially against someone like Roger.
Notably, Oda depicted Shakky as a spitting image of Hancock. Her fighting style was nearly identical, and like Hancock, she was the most beautiful woman, though she was not yet queen. Her ability to face off against Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban proves that Hancock, who has certainly surpassed all previous queens, could do the same.
Hancock Is the Next Strongest Woman in the World

Currently, Boa Hancock is the strongest woman in One Piece, and that is beyond debate. She shares Shakky’s natural beauty but also possesses the Mero Mero no Mi Devil Fruit. With this power, she can turn anyone to stone, combined with her extremely powerful Haki.
In fact, Hancock’s mastery of Conqueror’s Haki at a high level is obvious. Although her bounty is “only” 1.659 billion beli, Hancock’s strength is close to that of a Yonko, making her the strongest woman in the world right now.
