Asura Doji is one of the strongest Scabbard if not the strongest. When confronted with Jack, one of the 3 calamities of Kaido's crew, he was able to hold his own and even slash Jack with his sword. This goes to show how skilled the former bandit really is. Because of his strength, even Kaido asked him to join the Beast Pirates.
8 Enel
Enel was introduced as the main antagonist of the Sky Island Arc. He is a former God of Skypiea, ruling over the sky islands by force.

Nekomamushi is also skilled in swordsmanship. Training directly under Oden and journeying with the likes of Whitebeard and Gol D.Roger, he was enough skills to match of the Yonko commander.
6 Inuarashi
Duke Inuarashi is the ruler of Zou during the day time. He is the friend of Nekomamushi and they both joined the Red Scabbards at the same time. Both him and Nekomamushi are evenly matched making him the same as a Yonko commander level.
It should be noted that the Sulong form of both Nekomamushi and Inuarashi is not introduced in the story. That being said, it can only be speculated that their power is considerably higher than their current status. It is undoubtedly sure that both of them will be significantly stronger than Jack, making them one of the strongest members in the Ninja-Mink-Samurai-Pirate alliance.
5 Magellan
Magellan is the current Vice Warden of Impel Down, who was demoted from the position of Chief Warden after the little incident known as the Impel Down arc. Butthis doesn'ttake away thefact that Magellan is monstrously strong. After all, he was singlehandedly able to almost killLuffy and Blackbeard, who are argued to be the Top 2 contenders for the title of Pirate King.

In addition to having a terrifying appearance with horns and devil wings, Magellan is also unbelievably strong. Magellan has the power of the Venom-Venom ParameciaDevil Fruit. Using this fruit he can generate and manipulate venom of different strengths. His most powerful technique is Venom Demon which has the power to dissolve almost anything.

Sabo possesses the logiaDevil Fruit of his dead brother, Ace, called the Flare-Flare fruit. Sabo was personally trained by Monkey D.Dragon as is adapt is Dragon Claw fighting style. He can also use Observation Haki and Armament Haki as shown in the Dressrosa Arc. Sabo is surely one of the strongest fighters in One Piece.
3 Monkey D.Dragon
Next on the list is the leader of Revolutionaries himself, Monkey D.Dragon. Dragon is the father of Luffy and the son of the Hero of Marines, Garp. Being part of such an extraordinary family surely suits him as he is the most wanted man in the world.
Not much is known about Dragon's powersbut during his introduction in Log Town arc, he was able to save Luffy from his execution and even stop Smoker. Given he is the leader of the biggest force that directly oppresses the World Government, it will not be of a surprise if he possesses all 3 kinds of Haki, including King's Haki.
2 Shirahoshi
Shirahosi is the only Ancient Weapon in One Piece known to viewers. She is one of thethree Ancient Weapons that is said to be able to destroy the whole world. This was surelythe case, as seen during the Fishman Island arc.

She has the power to command Sea Kingswhich was passed down by the original Poseidon during the Void Century. Sea Kings refer to Shirahoshi as their Queen. During the Fishman Island Arc, she gained control over her powers secretly, making her one of the most powerful characters in the world.
1 Imu
As of this writing, Imu is the most mysterious character ever introduced in One Piece. He is portrayed as the sole ruler of the world government, where commands even the Five Elders. Both Imu's mystery and position suggest that he/she is not just another normal Celestial Dragon, but a powerful individual.
Imu is the ruler of most of the known world and with that position comes the power of all the forces of the World Government. Not to mention the strength needed to obtain such a position. It is hinted that, he/she along with Blackbeard, may be the final antagonist of the series. As far as fans are concerned, Imu would be a worthy final boss for Luffy and company to fight.
