The Donquixote family, or pirates, are one of the many pirate crews in One Piece, and their prowess is unquestionable. They are easily within the top ten pirate crews in the series. But the group's overall strength aside, even as individuals, the members of the Donquixote family are heavy hitters. If any of their upper echelons were shipped to the grandline, they would easily dominate.
The Donquixote family consists of over 2000 members. These 2000 members are divided into three armies headed by the top three lieutenants who are under Doflamingo, the crew's captain. Here's the ranked strength hierarchy of the Donquixote family.
10 Baby 5
Baby 5 is one of the youngest 10 executives of the Donquixote family. She is an assassin under the direct command of Pica. Baby 5 ate the buki buki no mi, a devil fruit that allows its user to transform a part of, or their entire body into a weapon. At present, Baby 5 left the Donquixote family and got hitched to Sai. Though she is fairly young among the officers, she shouldn't be underestimated.
9 Machvise
Machvise is an officer of Diamante's fighters unit. Diamante's fighters unit, as the name implies, is a unit comprising skilled fighters. Machvise ate the ton ton no mi. Ton ton no mi is a paramecia type devil fruit that grants its eater the ability to increase their weight. Unlike the kiro kiro that has a weight cap of 10,000 kg, the ton ton no mi allows the user to increase their weight by metric tons each time, indicating a much higher weight limit.
8 Señor Pink
Señor Pink is also a direct subordinate under Diamante. He is a member of the Diamante fighters unit, a statement for his individual strength. Señor Pink's devil fruit is called swim swim fruit, a pretty ironic name considering that devil fruit users can't really swim.
The ability this fruit grants Señor Pink is swimming. Not your conventional water swimming, but ground and wall swimming. When facing Franky, Señor Pink showed advanced proficiency in handling his devil fruit.
7 Dellinger
Dellinger is also an officer of Diamante's army. He is a Human-fishman hybrid. Dellinger joined the Donquixote family at the bold age of 6, and it should be noted that Doflamingo only enlists strong individuals to his ranks. Dellinger’s strength is unarguable. He managed to defeat Bellamy, who is a super rookie, without putting much effort. Dellinger has no devil fruit ability, and he shines just well without one.
6 Lao G
Lao G is one of those old, senile-looking old men that you instantly regret the moment you underestimate them. Unlike the majority of the Donquixote executives, who are devil fruit users, Lao G does not possess a devil fruit ability. But again, don't underestimate an old man, you would regret it. Lao G's style of fighting is martial-artish, it mainly consists of punching.
5 Gladius
Gladius is a member of Pica's commando unit. His devil fruit, pomu pomu no mi, is one of best among all the officers'. Pomu pomu no mi granted Gladius the ability to cause his own body, or any organic substance he touches to explode. Pomu pomu no mi is similar to bomu bomu no mi in effect, but it's superior. Gladius is a walking bomb, it took the combined efforts of Robin and Bartolomeo to take him down.
4 Trebol
Trebol is one of the oldest members of the Donquixote family. He is the right-hand man of Doflamingo and his mentor in the way of crime. Strength-wise, Trebol is the weakest of the top three executives, but the influence he wields is definitely above everyone else's save for Doflamingo. In all honesty Trebol is quite a repulsive man. His devil fruit ability is repulsive and his character is repulsive, it's like his only role in Dressrosa arc was to annoy.
3 Diamante
As the head of the fighting unit, Diamante's strength can not be ignored. Like Trebol, he is one of the top three executives under Doflamingo. Diamante is the manager of Dressrosa's Corrida colosseum and is dubbed as its hero. Diamante ate the Hira Hira no mi.
A paramecia class devil fruit that allows its user to make their body, and everything they touch to become flat and ripple. The fruit might seem weak at first, but coupled with Diamante's solid application it's an absolute banger.
2 Pica
Pica is the commander of Pica's commando unit and Pica's subdivision army. Strength-wise, he is only below Doflamingo. His devil fruit, ishi ishi no mi, is also quite troublesome to deal with. It's almost impossible for a none-haki user to defeat him. But even without his devil fruit abilities, Pica is quite strong. His armament haki is above average. It's questionable whether any of the strawhats, other than Luffy and Zoro, could bring this monster down.
1 Doflamingo
Last but not least is of course the heavenly demon, Donquixote Doflamingo. A previous warlord and the former sole ruler of Dressrosa. Doflamingo is, like it or not, one of the best villains in One Piece, if not the best. This man doesn't even bother to sugarcoat his motives, his goals are laid bare on the table for all to appreciate. Nothing as fancy as world domination or becoming the pirate king, what he seeks is destruction, world destruction.
