No exaggeration; the Adult Gon we see in the Hunter x Hunter anime’s final decisive battle is one of the strongest power-ups in all of Shonen. In fact, he becomes so overwhelmingly powerful that even some of One Piece’s rather popular villains would get humbled against him.
Though Adult Gon does come with limitations, like not being able to maintain the form for very long, even a single minute would be more than enough for him to easily two-piece these 10 One Piece villains. So without further ado, let’s see who’s getting the worst beating from Gon.
1. Kizaru

Things are bound to get extra chaotic when Kizaru faces Adult Gon. Even Kizaru’s light-speed kicks and laser-like attacks won’t touch Gon, as no one knows the true extent of this form. It’s almost like he’ll be dancing through the attacks, turning Kizaru’s own speed against him.
Then, without warning, Gon’s aura flares. A single Jajanken will smash through the space Kizaru thought was safe, leaving him with barely any time to react. The fight won’t drag on. Gon’s sheer explosive power will be enough to tip the scales before Kizaru can fathom.
2. Akainu

Facing Akainu, Gon would have to move like lightning, weaving around eruptions of magma that could melt the ground itself. The Admiral’s power is terrifying, but Gon thrives in chaos, turning every attack into an opening.
Before Akainu even fully grasps the situation, Gon’s aura would explode outward: one massive Jajanken or a flurry of punches straight to the chest. The sheer intensity of Gon’s one-shot power will surely make even Akainu stumble, and it won’t even be a full-on clash.
3. Don Krieg

Will Adult Gon wait? Dead wrong. He’ll blitz straight at Don Krieg, dodging every over-the-top gadget and swinging sword. Krieg might try to overwhelm him with brute force, but there’s no time to set up traps.
Then comes the Scissors. With Jajaken’s final form, Gon will cut through Krieg’s defences, and suddenly, all that armor and firepower will be rendered meaningless. One concentrated strike, and the fight’ll be over before Krieg even realizes what happened.
4. Arlong

Short but intense, that’s what we like, right? Facing against Adult Gon’s speed, Arlong’s swings, and water-based attacks won’t even land. Also, surely, Gon will keep the battle up close, thus preventing Arlong from using his reach and brute force to control the fight.
Then, once in striking range, Gon would unleash a barrage of aura-packed punches or charge up a fully amped Jajanken, and it’s Game Over. Arlong’s durability and strength might let him tank a few hits, but Gon’s overwhelming raw power would break through with much ease.
5. Doflamingo
There’s no way Adult Gon is getting caught in those strings that Doflamingo specializes in. Gon would zip around super fast, so that no traps would ever catch him. Also, just like the fight with Arlong, Gon would narrow the distance so Doflamingo can’t control the battlefield.
And at the right time, Gon would just go all out with his aura-packed Rock punches or a full-on Jajanken, combining three versions. Doflamingo’s strings and tricks can’t really stop that kind of raw power, can he? Though the fight will be over in an instant, it’ll be worth it.
6. Crocodile

Crocodile might be a tough opponent even for Adult Gon, not because Crocodile is stronger, but because he may have a technical advantage. If he turns the battleground into sand, Gon will struggle to move around. But we know, Gon’s speed and Nen wouldn’t let him do that.
Using Rock-Paper-Scissors’ Rock, Gon would unload raw, aura-charged punches and have Crocodile bite his own sand. That’ll be quite ironic, and if Gon hits the head or torso directly with Rock, it’d be over quickly without ever becoming a typical lengthy fight.
7. Enel

Adult Gon against Enel would be all about not getting caught by those lightning attacks. Gon’s speed and reflexes will easily let him dodge the lightning and close the distance before Enel can spam his full-range attacks.
Once close, Gon would fully release his Aura blast, using Paper, leaving Enel’s lightning attacks useless. Even his Logia body can’t handle that kind of raw, destructive force up close, and Gon’s one-shot approach could take him down before he even gets a chance to teleport or electrify the battlefield.
8. Kaido

Adult Gon would rush Kaido instantly. Yes, that may sound like a big statement, but again, it’ll be over before Kaido realizes anything. With his overwhelming speed, Gon will get to Kaido’s reach before the Emperor can react.
His aura-packed punches would land fast and hard, forcing Kaido back and keeping him from taking control of the battle.
With Kaido staggered, Gon would unleash a fully amped Jajanken and strike at Kaido’s head or neck. Surely, after such a massive hit at that place, Kaido’s durability will crack. Thus, again, the fight will end quickly because Gon’s power spike is built for taking down any threat.
9. Blackbeard
Adult Gon wouldn’t even have to use any special trick. With his godspeed, he can easily dodge or close the gap fast to avoid Blackbeard’s gravity-smash Devil Fruit attacks. And coating himself with Aura, Gon can even walk through the darkness attacks like no big deal.
Then it’ll be Gon’s turn. He’d cut through Blackbeard with his Scissros attack, and even with the Yami Yami no Mi’s weird abilities, Blackbeard won’t be able to withstand that kind of raw, concentrated Nen power up close. Then, if Gon can properly land a fast, all-in strike, Blackbeard won’t even be able to use his powers to counter or escape.
10. Greenbull

Handling Greenbull will be super easy for Adult Gon. He just has to keep Greenbull from using those massive vine spreads. So what will he do? He’d blitz straight in, tear through the roots with raw aura, and hit Greenbull before the Admiral’s regeneration/nature absorption kicks in.
Once Gon gets close, it’s basically over. Greenbull’s durability is good, but he’s not built to tank a fully-charged Jajanken at point-blank range. Gon would land one clean, overwhelming hit that shuts down Greenbull before the Admiral can stall him out or drain anything from the battle.
Here’s a comparison between One Piece and Hunter X Hunter (2011):

With that, the list comes to an end. Some of the other stronger main villains, like Big Mom, Kaido, or Rocks, may still have the upper hand against Gon, but let’s not talk about that here. As for the ones Gon can easily sweep, you might have other villains in mind, and if so, feel free to let us know in the comments below.
