I’ll cast my vote for Killer Whales, their “badass-ness” is rooted in their intelligence.
Example 1: Beaching
Sea Lions might think they are safe in shallows or on the beach - not so.
Example 2: Herding.
They will tactically circle and condense the fish into a tight ball and then take turns charging it with open mouths.
Example 3: Their most impressive tactic.
There are often seals resting on blocks of ice. Typically, it is too difficult or big for them to flip over.
They will size up the situation, and demonstrate strategic thinking on how to solve the problem.
They will emerge at the same time, figuring out the dimensions of the ice. And identify the prospective seal. They can distinguish types of seals, some are easier for them to kill.
They’ll then see if they can break the ice into smaller pieces.
If not, they will circle back and form a line and swim forward quickly to create a wave.
On the below image, you’ll see the iceberg tips up at this point as the water caves in before the wave hits.

Which then knocks the seal off and into the water.
That’s some next level sh-t right there.
