Hey everybody! The Summit War rankings are finalized! This saga was an absolute beast to rank as it covers FIVE separate arcs (Sabaody Archipelago, Amazon Lily, Impel Down, Marineford, and Post-War), and 87 individual combatants; almost double the next closest saga so far (Water 7 had 48). There was also a confirmation of a previously undetermined victor, that of the fight between "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace and "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach from the end of the Water 7 Saga. I have not gone back to change those rankings as at the time of that saga's conclusion the fight's outcome is unknown. I have however adjusted both Ace and Blackbeard's overall records to account for this new information. As always when it comes to the Overall Rankings lists the characters must have competed in a minimum of 5 fights to qualify for ranking, and my placing a character ahead of another character is not an indication of that character's overall strength (this is NOT a power scaling list), but of their ability to achieve their goals in the combats the show places them in. Without further ado here are the rankings for the Summit War Saga:
"Massacre Soldier" Killer (1-0-0), Trafalgar Law "The Surgeon of Death" (1-0-0), Bepo (1-0-0), Jean Bart (1-0-0), Caroline (1-0-0), Helmeppo (1-0-0), "Great Staff Officer" Tsuru (1-0-0), "Black Cage" Hina (1-0-0) - 100%. Basically every named Navy officer, as well as some Warlords, recieved an automatic W for the team victory in the War of the Best during the Marineford Arc. Enjoy your time in the sun Helmeppo its almost certainly never going to happen again.
"The Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma (5-0-1), "Mr. 2 Bon Clay" Bentham of the Wild (5-0-1) - 88.89%. Seems appropriate to have 2 of the most impactful characters of the entire saga together at the top end of the rankings. Kuma was all over this saga from separating the Straw Hats on Sabaody, which helped them esacape from the Navy, to doing major damage during the Summit War, and then a final appearance back at the Thousand Sunny on Sabaody at the close of the saga. Bon Clay is without a doubt the MVP of this saga, and has to be considered an honorary Straw Hat alongside Vivi. Saved Luffy's life on multiple occasions in Impel Down and was the reason that the escapees managed to get away from the prison in the end. Salute to a real one.
"Heavenly Demon" Donquixote Doflamingo - 86.67% (4-0-1). Man was just giggling the entire war.
"Hatchi" Hatchan (2-0-1), Momonga (2-0-1), Dalmatian (2-0-1), "Cat Burgler" Nami (2-0-1) - 77.78%. Its nice to see Hatchi and Nami together in the rankings after their reconciliation. Hatchi is not quite there yet, but he's just outside Honorary Straw Hat territory for me after Sabaody.
Magellan - 72.22% (4-1-1). Honestly one of the scariest villains of the entire series so far. The venom venom fruit has to be Top 5 most powerful devil fruits so far, especially if we consider fruits that are dangerous no matter how much you train them.
Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk - 71.43% (4-0-3). Absolute badass. Love that he's just a guy with a sword and he's possibly the strongest person at Marineford, definetly Top 5. Also him fighting Buggy was hilarious.
"Mr. 3" Galdino the Loan Shark (4-2-0), "Demon Child" Nico Robin (2-0-2), Eusatss "Captain" Kid (1-0-1), Sentomaru (1-0-1), Tashigi (1-0-1), Doberman (1-0-1) - 66.67%. Mr. 3 coming in clutch both in Impel Down and at Marineford. Don't sleep on the Wax Wax fruit.
"Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy - 63.73% (19-7-8). Luffy was throwing hands almost non-stop this saga, and honestly did pretty good considering how badly everything went for him.
Sakazuki "Akainu" - 63.33% (5-1-4). Absolute lunatic. I hate this man more than any villain in the show.
Kuzan "Aokiji" - 61.11% (3-1-2). I'm not sure how to feel about Aokiji sometimes he is cool, and sometimes he's just a cop. This saga he was very much just a cop.
"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro (2-0-3), "Humming Swordsman" Brook (2-0-3) - 60%.Also an interesting pair to be put together. The first oldest crewmember and the newest crewmember, both swordsmen of the crew, and both coming off one of the most impactful arcs for them in Thriller Bark.
"Cotton Candy Lover" Tony Tony Chopper - 58.33% (2-1-1). What a rollercoaster ride for our fluffy doctor boy this saga. But he's locked in with the books heading into the timeskip.
Smoker the White Hunter - 55.56% (1-0-2). Oh Smokey, you never change
"First Son of the Sea" Jimbei (4-3-1), Borsalino "Kizaru" (3-1-4) - 54.17%. Two people who were moving in opposite ways when it came to Luffy. Jimbei went from prison break brother to unc, and Kizaru is like Ghostface from Scary Movie where he seems kinda chill then he murders all your friends (also he seems high as fuck)
"Cyborg" Franky - 53.33% (2-1-2). Franky and Chopper not understanding that skull and crossbones don't always mean pirate
Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate - 51.85% (3-1-5). This man was almost dead on his feet and was rocking everyone's shit at Marineford. Definitely deserved the title of World's Strongest Pirate. Loved that Blackbeard was spamming his nullification power and Whitebeard said "OK" then sliced him up, and dropped a pointblank earthquake on his face. If he was healthy that war would be a lot shorter.
Usopp (2-1-3), Monkey D. Garp "The Fist" (1-1-0), Koby (1-1-0), John Giant (1-1-0), Lacroix (1-1-0), Lonz (1-1-0), "One-Two" Jango (1-1-0), "Double Ironfist" Fullbody (1-1-0) - 50%. Usopp on Boyin Islands is too real. Garp you earned that beating from Dadan.
"Black Leg" Sanji - 45.83% (3-3-2). Loved how he was watching out for Zoro at Sabaody
Gecko Moria (2-2-2), Hannyabal (1-1-1), Sengoku the Buddha (1-1-1) - 44.44%. Sengoku is up there right behind Akainu for me for villians I hate
Pacifistas - 41.67% (2-2-4). This was such a crazy reveal immediately after meeting Kuma at Thriller Bark
Buggy the Star Clown - 40% (2-3-0). Going to prison was the best thing that ever happened to this man
"Mr. 0" "Desert King" Sir Crocodile (1-2-4), Marco the Phoenix (1-2-4), Little Oars Jr. (1-2-0), "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace (1-2-0), Saint Sharlia (0-0-1), "Red Flag" X Drake (0-0-1), "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh (0-0-1), Boa Marigold (0-0-1), Boa Sandersonia (0-0-1), Chadros "Brownbeard" Higelyges (0-0-1), "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock (0-0-2), "Mad Monk" Urouge (0-0-2), "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach (0-0-3) - 33.33%. RIP Ace. Rayleigh and Hancock records don't accurately reflect their importance on this saga. They were both playing defense for Luffy and the Straw Hats most of the time. Also Hancock was killing me with the hallucinations of her and Luffy together. Blackbeard suprisingly no Ws for a saga that catapulted him from just a pirate to front-runner for emperor status.
Emporio Ivankov "The Miracle Worker" - 26.67% (1-3-1). Ivankov also in MVP runner-up convos with Mr. 3, Boa, and Jimbei.
"Magician" Basil Hawkins (0-1-2), Curiel (0-1-2) - 22.22%
Scratchman Apoo "The Sea Roar" (0-1-1), Saint Charlos (0-1-1), "Bohemian Knight" Doma (0-1-1), The Decalvan Brothers (0-1-1), "Thunder Lord" McGuy (0-1-1) - 16.67%
"Water Buffalo" Atmos - 11.11% (0-2-1)
Macro (0-1-0), Gyaro (0-1-0), Tansui (0-1-0), "Iron Mask" Duval (0-1-0), Motobaro (0-1-0), Saint Roswald (0-1-0), Basilisk (0-1-0), "Mistress" Sadi (0-1-0), "Maelstrom Spider" Squard (0-1-0), Minozebra (0-2-0), Minokoala (0-2-0), Minorhinoceros (0-2-0), "Diamond" Jozu (0-2-0), "Mr. 1" "The Killer" Daz Bonez (0-2-0), Sphinx (0-3-0), Inazuma (0-3-0), Minotaurus (0-5-0) - 0%

Kalifa - 83.33% (5-1-0). Drops 2 spots from her 2 saga run as co-champion with Crocodile
"Massacre Weapon" Rob Lucci - 76.19% (5-1-1). Lots of CP9 to round out the top 5 still
Dracule "Hawkeyes" Mihawk - 75% (5-0-3). If he cared more he could easily be in the top spot
"Cat Burgler" Nami - 74.60% (14-2-5). Still the top Straw Hat on this list
Magellan - 72.22% (4-1-1). Great showing for one arc of damage
