Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the character who is officially recognized as the strongest in the "One Piece" universe. The resolution will be based on authoritative sources such as the "One Piece" manga, official databooks, and statements from the creator, Eiichiro Oda. If multiple characters are recognized as the strongest in different categories (e.g., strongest swordsman, strongest creature), the market will resolve to the character deemed the overall strongest. If no clear consensus exists, the market will resolve as N/A.
