Silvers Rayleigh is no doubt a powerful character inOne Piece.Despite Eiichiro Oda not revealing the character’s full strength, readers can already imagine what it would be like to engage him in battle. Even the Marines think twice before engaging him.
Also known as Dark King, Rayleigh is the former first-mate of Gol D. Roger. After the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, he became a coating mechanic at the Sabaody Archipelago, and that is where he met Luffy before deciding to help the young pirate.
Here are the top 5 biggest feats of Rayleigh, which prove just how powerful he is despite not being an active pirate for years.
#5 Rayleigh Knocked Out People with His Haki
During the Sabaody Island Arc, Rayleigh realized that the Straw Hat Pirates had attacked a World Noble to save Camie. In order to save all of their hides, he unleashed Supreme King Haki, which knocked out almost everyone at the auction hall.
He also ripped off Camie’s exploding collar with his bare hands. These feats are not possible until someone has incredible control over Haki, and Rayleigh’s feat makes fans eager to know the extent of his true powers.
#4 Rayleigh Trained Luffy in Haki
During the two-year time skipofOne Piece, Rayleigh taught Haki to Luffy. He even challenged Luffy to dodge his blows 100 times while being blindfolded. Everyone knows that while Luffy is a great nakama, he can be a bit dumb sometimes.

Being able to train Luffy and making him well-versed in Haki is an undeniably difficult task for anyone. But Rayleigh figured out Luffy’s weakness and used food as a motive to teach him.
#3 Rayleigh Killed a Sea King with his Bare Hands
In episode 507 ofOne Piece,the Heart Pirates notice a Sea King jostling around in the distance. Soon, they realize that the Sea King has been killed by someone or something underwater. Out comes Rayleigh, dripping wet from his swim in the ocean.
He explained that he had to swim ashore due to a ship sinking in a storm. When asked about the Sea King, he replied that he just has a pretty good breaststroke. This impressed the Heart Pirates as Rayleigh killed a Sea King with his bare hands.
#2 Even Blackbeard was Intimidated by Rayleigh
In episode 1088 ofOne Piece, Blackbeard decided to kill Boa Hancock. Thankfully, Rayleigh arrived just in time to stop Blackbeard. He then told Blackbeard that even though he was a former member of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh never liked him.

He then released Hancock, but you should remember that Blackbeard is one of the most dangerous characters in One Piece. So,how powerful does Rayleigh have to beto snatch away the smile from Blackbeard’s face?
