Super-Human Strength
From One Piece Encyclopedia
Most humans in One Piece are normal everyday people who have little strength and fighting skills. Some, however, display strength often referred to by people as "Super-Human Strength", that is strength beyond the normal human strength limits. It is one of two known 'Super-Human' conditions. The other is Super-Human Speed.
Normally, Super-Human Strength is a product of years of heavy training. Not every human with Super-Human Strength appears physically muscle-bound (such as Luffy). Some muscle-bound people, however, do not have this ability (Patty, for example displayed no signs of this ability). As displayed by Miss Monday, it is also not confined to just the male gender. Females may also achieve this level of ability.
Humans, who have Super-Human Strength, can easily destroy objects such as wood, concrete and in some cases metal. In battle, they tend to rely on power-based attacks most of all. The effectiveness of Super-Human strength is useless against techniques such as Rokushiki. Many Devil Fruits are equally effective against them. Of course, sophisticated fighting styles or Devil Fruit powers, when honed and incorporated with inhuman physical power, makes the user all the more formidable in combat. It is difficult for normal humans to fight a Super-Human person unaided. However, an effective strategy can be used against them that can take advantage of their reliance on power and strength.
There is some difficulty when realizing which characters have this power and which do not. Eiichiro Oda does not always openly say when a character has it. It is also the strength possessed by some races such as the Fishmen and the Giants. This makes every member of these races far stronger than ordinary humans.
