The protagonists of the One Piece series

The One Piece manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Eiichiro Oda. The series takes place in a fictional universe where vast numbers of pirates, soldiers, revolutionaries, and other adventurers fight each other, using various superhuman and supernatural abilities. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of pirates as they search for the series titular treasure.

The main character of the series is Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate who wishes to succeed Gol D. Roger, the deceased King of the Pirates, by finding his treasure, the "One Piece". During the course of series, Luffy gathers himself a crew of misfits, named the Straw Hat Pirates, so far including the three swords wielding Roronoa Zoro, the master thief and expert navigator Nami, the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp, the gourmet cook and martial-artist Sanji, the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cyborg shipwright Franky, and the living skeleton musician Brook. Together they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams, encountering other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the World Government, and various other friends and foes.

Creation and conception

When drawing One Piece, Eiichiro Oda was heavily influenced by the manga Dragon Ball and had the series in mind when designing his characters. Several characters have been stated to be based on actual people, such as Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach) and Whitebeard (Edward Newgate) being based on the actual pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Some other notable examples includes Roronoa Zoro (François l'Olonnais), Sanji & Zeff (Red Legs Greaves), Jewelry Bonney (Anne Bonny), Scratchmen Apoo (Chui Apoo), Eustass Kidd (William Kidd and Eustace the Monk), X. Drake (Sir Francis Drake), Lafitte (Jean Lafitte), Bartholomew Kuma (Bartholomew Roberts), Captain Morgan (Henry Morgan), Alvida (Awilda), Basil Hawkins (Basil Ringrose and John Hawkins) and Bellamy (Samuel Bellamy).

Protagonists

The Straw Hat Pirates

The protagonists of the One Piece series are part of the Straw Hat Pirates, a crew of pirates founded and captained by Monkey D. Luffy. Starting out with Luffy alone the crew's number grows throughout the series as Luffy keeps recruiting new members. The name of their first ship is "Going Merry" (ゴーイング・メリー号 Gōingu Merī-gō, renamed "Merry Go" in the English manga and 4Kids dub), however due to severe damage, the Straw Hat Pirates got a new ship called "Thousand Sunny" (サウザンドサニー号 Sauzando Sanī-gō).

Monkey D. Luffy

Main article: Monkey D. Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ Monkī D. Rufi), nicknamed "Straw Hat" Luffy (麦わらのルフィ Mugiwara no Rufi), is the 17 year-old captain of The Straw Hat Pirates and the main protagonist of the One Piece series. At first, Luffy does not appear to be very intelligent; his apparent lack of intelligence is the source of his brave attitude towards life. Luffy can easily be amazed by the simplest things.If Luffy finds something he doesn't understand, even if someone explained in detail, he calls it a "mystery thing". He is, however, a genius when it comes to fighting. When Luffy's friends' lives are threatened, Luffy goes into an unimaginably, dangerous rage. At the beginning of the series, he accidentally eats a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Gum-Gum Fruit (ゴムゴムの実 Gomu Gomu no Mi), causing his body to gain the properties of highly stretchable rubber. These properties are a result of Oda's desire for the fighting style to be silly, so that no matter how tense a situation gets, the reader can relax without becoming stressed out.

Luffy later learns "Gear Second" (ギア2 (セカンド) Gia Sekando, renamed "Gear Two" in the English manga and "Second Gear" in the Funimation subs), a technique which increases his blood flow and speed instantly to attack. However, "Gear Second" hacks away Luffy's life force dramatically, increasing a chance of having a much shorter life because he is starving his body, though Luffy rebutles, saying that it doesn't matter as long he saves his friends. After Gear Second wears off, Luffy can recover quickly through replenishing of his nutrient storage.

Later on, Luffy learns how to go beyond "Gear Second" and into "Gear Third" (ギア3 (サード) Gia Sādo, renamed "Gear Three" in the English manga and "Third Gear" in the Funimation subs). Luffy increases the size of his limbs by biting into his thumb and inflating it hard, transfer the air through his entire body, requiring the torso to act as an interface for his various limbs. Used with his already-strong physiology, this apparently gives his arm more mass and a larger area to attack with far greater strength, but he sacrifices mobility for this strength, as his limbs are now so large that Luffy has extreme trouble moving. To deactivate "Gear Third", Luffy leaves the form by exhaling heavily, which can cause him to be propelled backwards. The deactivation of "Gear Third" brings about shrinking, which is a negative side-effect due to the massive expansion undergone prior to release. The amount of time Luffy spends in his shrunken form is roughly equivalent to the amount of time spent in "Gear Third" mode.

After his life is saved by Shanks when he is seven years old, Luffy decides to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the series' titular treasure and succeeding Gol D. Roger as King of the Pirates. Ten years later, wearing Shanks' straw hat, he sets out to sea to gather a crew and sail the Grand Line, where the One Piece is supposedly hidden. It also seems that Luffy is capable using King Ambition (覇王色の覇気 Haōshoku Haki), although he is unaware of this ability. Portgas D. Ace is Luffy's older brother through adoption. Luffy ranked first in all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Luffy's current bounty is 300,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka in the Japanese version of the anime.. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Bella Hudson for 4Kids, and by Colleen Clinkenbeard for Funimation.

Roronoa Zoro

Roronoa Zoro (ロロノア・ゾロ, renamed "Roronoa Zolo" in several versions), named after François l'Olonnais, nicknamed "Pirate Hunter" Zoro (海賊狩りのゾロ Kaizoku-Gari no Zoro, renamed "Pirate Hunter" Zolo in several versions)^{[citation needed]}, is a 19 year old, skilled swordsman who uses up to three swords at once, clutching the third in his mouth. To fulfill a promise he made to childhood friend and rival, "Kuina", he wants to become the world's greatest swordsman by defeating Dracule Mihawk. Before joining Luffy, he made a living by bounty hunting. He joins Luffy's crew in exchange for his aid in escaping execution. He makes it clear that he would turn on his captain if he ever stepped between him and his dream , although during the "Thriller Bark arc" he says that he can't fulfill his dream if he did not help his captain fulfill his. His enormous physical strength is enough to lift a building, as well as inhumanly heavy weights on a regular basis. During a fight with Baroque Works Officer Agent Mr. 1 (Daz Bonez), he learns how to cut through solid steel. He can employ an "Asura" technique which gives him three faces and six arms, thus totaling nine swords. In addition, Zoro can expand the muscle mass of his arms, as well as emulate some of his sword attacks using his bare hands. He is extremely poor at understanding geographical directions and gets lost very easily. He also sleeps a great deal and loves to drink. Zoro's current bounty is 120,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Kazuya Nakai (as an adult) and Megumi Urawa (as a child) in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Marc Diraison (as an adult) and Andrew Rannells (as a child) for 4Kids, and by Christopher R. Sabat (as an adult) and Brina Palencia (as a child) for Funimation.

Zoro ranked second in all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Furthermore, in a 2007 poll by Oricon, Zoro was voted as the 4th most desired character to receive a spinoff. DVD Talk praises Zoro's "hilarious" three-sword fighting style as a great example of the show's sense of humor. Holly Ellingwood from Activeanime praised Zoro's fight against Luffy as one of the best moments from the 10th DVD from the series released by Viz Media, praising the action scenes. Sabat's work with Zoro has resulted in him being a nominated of the category "Best Voice Actor (English)" in the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA) Awards from 2008. Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network commented on Sabat's work with Zoro as a "standout", noting that Zoro and Sabat are "well-matched. Kimlinger also found that his along with Sanji's flashbacks from the anime "really do jerk tears, even if they are less than gracefully executed".

Nami

Nami (ナミ), nicknamed "Cat Burglar" Nami (泥棒猫のナミ Dorobō Neko no Nami, renamed Nami the "Navigator" in the 4Kids dub), is the crew's 18-year-old navigator and thief. She has the ability to recognize and analyze even the slightest changes in the weather up to the point of sheer intuition. She is also an excellent pickpocket. Her dream is to draw a complete map of the world. Throughout the series, Nami fights using a three-sectioned bo staff. Usopp later provides her with a version of this weapon capable of controlling weather, called the Clima-Takt (天候棒 Kurima Takuto, renamed "Climate Baton" in the English manga, and "Weather Forcer" in the 4Kids dub). Even later, Usopp augments the Clima-Takt with dials, making it more powerful. Nami's current bounty is 16,000,000 Berries. She is voiced by Akemi Okamura in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, she is voiced by Kerry Williams for 4Kids,, and by Luci Christian for Funimation.

Nami ranked in the Top 10 of all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Her backstory has been found to be a "touching story" as it "unfolds with a lot of emotion" by Mania Entertainment writer, Jarred Pine. Pine also mentioned Nami was his favorite character from the series, and satisfied with how the manga showed her past. While reviewing the 8th DVD from Viz Media, Activeanime mentioned Nami is one of the best characters from the series as "She’s got guts, smarts, and can heft a mean punch when needed". Like Pined, Activeanime liked Nami's background and added that his "itty bitty heart went out to her". In the SPJA 2008, Nami was nominated in the category "Best Female Character".

When a reader asked Oda who Nami is in love with, Oda answered that there will not likely be any romance among the Straw Hat Pirates. Oda explained that he does not portray romance in One Piece as the series is a shōnen comic, and the young boys who read the comic are not interested in romance.

Usopp

Usopp (ウソップ Usoppu), nicknamed "Sogeking" (狙撃の王様 Sogeki no Ō-sama, renamed "Sniper King" in the English manga), is the crew's 17-year old marksman. His name comes from Uso, which means liar in Japanese, and Aesop, the author of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.^{[citation needed]} He is a liar, talented inventor, as well as a skilled painter and sculptor. His primary weapon is a slingshot, which he uses to fire various kinds of ammunition, ranging from rotten eggs and shuriken to hot sauce, and both flaming and exploding projectiles. Later, he creates himself a large, dial-powered slingshot he calls Kabuto (カブト), with which he is able to outrange even guns. Usopp's father, Yasopp, left his family to become a pirate when Usopp was still very young. Some time after this, Usopp's mother, Banchina (バンキーナ Bankīna), fell ill. Usopp started telling lies, stating that his father had returned and would be taking them with him. His mother eventually died, but Usopp, in his sadness, continued to lie. Despite all this, he does not blame his father for leaving him, but takes pride in his heritage. He is inspired by Luffy, Zoro and Nami and decides to go out to sea, following his dream of becoming a "brave warrior of the sea". His weakness as a fighter weighs heavily upon him and when after the crew is defeated and almost destroyed by Admiral Aokiji of the Marines, Luffy decides to replace the badly damaged Going Merry, the Straw Hats' first ship, which is given to them by Usopp's friend "Kaya", a girl from his village that he used to cheer up with his lies, Usopp goes so far as to temporarily leave the crew. Usopp's current bounty is 30,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith for 4Kids, and by Sonny Strait for Funimation.

Usopp ranked in the Top 10 of all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. In a 2007 Oricon poll, Usopp was voted the 10th most wanted character to receive a spin off amongst all respondents, and the 5th most popular amongst males. In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter notes that Usopp "brings lots of comic relief to the series", but also comments that he "can be down right annoying at times."

Sanji

"Sanji" redirects here. For the music video director, see Sanji (director). For the seiyū, see Sanji Hase.

Sanji (サンジ), nicknamed "Black Leg" Sanji (黒脚のサンジ Kuro Ashi no Sanji), is the crew's 19-year-old chef. He knows how it feels to starve from first hand experience, so he will never refuse someone a meal. He has a strong sense of chivalry, because of which, he will never harm a woman, even if he dies. Sanji also seems to keep this code regardless of a woman's appearance. His dream is to find the "All Blue" (オールブルー Ōru Burū, renamed "Great Blue" in the 4Kids dub), a legendary sea, containing every kind of fish in the world. Sanji is also a very skilled fighter who uses only kicks. He said that this is because a chef's hands are his most prized possessions and should not be risked in battle.His fighting style resembles the capoeira. Sanji also has the ability to employ a fire based kick, called "Diable Jamble" (ディアブルジャンブ Diable Jambe, "Diable Jambe" in the English manga) in which he sets his leg on fire by spinning around rapidly, this causes his attacks to be much more powerful, Sanji first used this technique at Enies Lobby. Sanji's current bounty is 77,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata (as an adult) and Ikue Otani (child) in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Moo (as an adult) and Veronica Taylor (as a child) for 4Kids, and by Eric Vale (as an adult) and Christine Auten (as a child) for Funimation.

Tony Tony Chopper

Tony Tony Chopper (トニートニー・チョッパー Tonī Tonī Choppā), nicknamed "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper (わたあめ大好きのチョッパー Watāme Daisuki no Choppā), is the crew's 15-year-old doctor. He is a blue-nosed reindeer who gained human properties by eating the zoan Devil Fruit called the Human-Human Fruit (ヒトヒトの実 Hito Hito no Mi). The fruit-granted ability allows him to change between three forms. His first and original form is that of a reindeer. In his second form, he has the proportions of a human child, while retaining his antlers, hooves, and fur. In his third form, he looks like a brawny man with fur. In addition to his normal transformations, Chopper developed a drug he calls Rumble Ball (ランブル・ボール Ranburu Bōru), which allows him to assume four additional forms for the duration of three minutes. These forms focus on certain aspects of his body to improve his physical abilities. These are broken down into "points" in the original version (renamed "boost" in the English manga and the 4Kids dub) called: guard, horn, jumping, and arm point with the original three becoming walk, brain, and heavy point. If Chopper uses a second Rumble Ball within six hours, he cannot control his transformations. If he uses a third Rumble Ball within six hours of the first, he transforms into a monstrous version of himself and loses all self-control called "Monster Point". He also has the ability to understand other animals' speech, because he is an animal himself. What he is not capable of, however, is hiding his feelings. Chopper's current bounty is 50 Berries. He is voiced by Ikue Ōtani in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Lisa Ortiz for 4Kids, and by Brina Palencia for Funimation.

When creating Chopper, Oda stated that he wanted a mascot who is both cute and fearless. An IGN review of the manga praised Chopper's character as one of the best in the series and said that he was able to be both touching and funny. Chopper ranked in the Top 5 of both Shōnen Jump character popularity polls since the character's introduction. Oda said that the message he wanted to illustrate in regards to Chopper's family situation is that a person who is not blood-related to another person can still be considered as a member of one's family.

Nico Robin

Nico Robin (ニコ・ロビン Niko Robin), nicknamed "Devil Child" (悪魔の子 Akuma no Ko) by the World Government is the crew's 28-year-old archaeologist. Growing up alone on the island Ohara (オハラ), home of the world's largest and oldest library, she became an archaeologist at the age of eight and learned how to decipher the writings on the ancient stones called Poneglyph (歴史の本文 Pōnegurifu), which are scattered around the world. After the World Government destroyed Ohara for housing archaeologists along with her returning mother, Nico Olvia (ニコ･オルビア Niko Orubia), researching these stones, Robin spent twenty years on the run, cooperating with various pirates and other outlaws and became a member of Baroque Works nicknamed as "Ms. All-Sunday" (ミス・オールサンデー Misu Ōrusandē, renamed "Ms. Sunday" in the 4Kids dub) at the time, being briefly an antagonist to the Straw Hat Pirates before joining them. Like the scholars of Ohara before her, it is her dream to find and decipher the Rio Poneglyph (真の歴史の本文 Rio Pōnegurifu), which is said to tell the world's lost history. Her devotion to history and its preservation goes so far that she will even risk her life to protect ancient artifacts and buildings. She ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Flower-Flower Fruit (ハナハナの実 Hana Hana no Mi), allowing her to create copies of any of her body parts on any surface that she can see. However, if her replicated parts are hurt, she feels the pain on her actual body. Robin's current bounty is 80,000,000 Berries. She is voiced by Yuriko Yamaguchi (as an adult) and Anzu Nagai (as a child) in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, she is voiced by Veronica Taylor for 4Kids and by Stephanie Young for Funimation.

Franky

Franky (フランキー Furankī), nicknamed "Cyborg" Franky (サイボーグ フランキー Saibōgu Furankī), is the crew's 34 year old shipwright. After his pirate parents abandoned him at age ten, he became an apprentice of the master shipwright "Tom" along with "Iceburg". When Tom was taken away as a criminal by the government for building Gol D. Roger's ship, the "Oro Jackson", Franky tried to stop them. In the attempt, he was severely injured and, in order to survive, had to exchange parts of his body with replacements made of scrap metal, turning himself into a cola-powered cyborg. Franky, thus, gained an artificial body which grants him super-human strength. Its front is heavily armored and insensitive to most attacks, while his back, where he could not reach, remains vulnerable. His body is equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including several guns and an extendable right arm. His stomach contains a refrigerator compartment that can hold up to three bottles of cola to fuel him and his attacks. His personality is also affected by the type of beverage that is stored in his refrigerator compartment. He can use up large amounts of cola in an instant to launch powerful bursts of air from his arms, one such move is called the Coup de Vent. After word of his death had spread, he cast off his original name, Cutty Flam (カティ・フラム Kati Furamu), and became the underground boss Franky. His dream is to build a ship, to become its shipwright, and sail it to the end of the world. To that end, he builds the Straw Hats Pirates' second ship, the brigantine-rigged sloop-of-war Thousand Sunny, and joins the crew. Franky tends to act tough most of the time like saying his catch phrase "SUPER!!" However, Franky can get emotional very easy and start to cry, but then denies it. Franky's current bounty is 44,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Kazuki Yao (as an adult) and Junko Noda (as a child) in Japanese. In the English dub, he is voiced by Patrick Seitz (as an adult) and Greg Ayres (as a child) for Funimation.

Brook

Brook (ブルック Burukku), nicknamed "Dead Bones" Brook (デッドボーンズブルック Deddo Bōnzu Burukku) (formerly "Humming" Brook (鼻唄のブルック Hanauta no Burukku)), is the crew's 88-year old musician. He is a skeleton, resurrected by the Revive-Revive Fruit (ヨミヨミの実 Yomi Yomi no Mi), a paramecia Devil Fruit, which grants its eater a second life. He is an excellent musician, who claims being able to play any instrument, and a skilled fencer, who uses a shikomizue, a Japanese cane sword, in battle. His lightweight skeleton body allows him to jump extraordinarily high and to run across water. His gentlemanly impression stands in stark contrast to his incredibly bad manners: He bluntly requests to see women's panties, helps himself to people's food, and belches out loud on the dinner table. When Brook's former crew, the "Rumbar Pirates", entered the Grand Line, they left their pet whale "Laboon" behind at Reverse Mountain, promising to return after sailing around the world. Fifty years later, Brook, being the only survivor, considers it his duty to fulfill his former crew's promise. Brook's current bounty is 33,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Chō in the Japanese version of the anime. He does not yet have an English voice, as the English dub has yet to reach that far into the series.

The idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in the year 2000.

Marine

The Marine is a military force under the command of the World Government. The uniforms of its soldiers, who are referred to as "marines" in adaptations using "Marine", as well as the Marine's ships and installations prominently display the word "Marine" in all-upper-case roman letters, often alongside a depiction of a sea gull.

The only ones that are above him and command him are Kong, the Commander in Chief, and the Five Elder Stars. Sengoku apparently ate a paramecia Devil Fruit that allows him to turn into something similar to a gigantic Daibutsu, which is probably the reason for his nickname. The color of his body (and uniform) seems to change to a dark color, making him appear to be ominously shadowed at all times. In this form his body has different proportions, his torso and arms are much larger compared to the rest of his body. This ability gives him a massive power boost to his already impressive strength.

Akainu

Admiral Akainu (赤犬), was known as Sakazuki (サカズキ) prior to his promotion, and nicknamed, "Red Dog" (レッドドッグ Reddo Doggu),^{[citation needed]} has the power of an unnamed logia Devil Fruit that gives him the power to control or create magma and lava. Akainu practices Absolute Justice, an extremely ruthless interpretation of the greater good, such as destroying an entire ship full of escaping civilians in the off chance that one criminal might be hiding amongst them.^{[citation needed]}) He is also notable for wearing a cap low over his eyes, obscuring his facial features for all of his early appearances. Akainu was the one responsible for Ace's death. He is voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki in the Japanese version of the anime.

She is also the object of both Fullbody and Jango's affections. Hina has a tendency to speak in the third person, though this only seems to add to her attractiveness for her subordinates. Hina has eaten a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Cage-Cage Fruit (オリオリの実 Ori Ori no Mi, "Bind-Bind Fruit" in the English manga), granting her the ability to let others pass through her body, in the process getting encaged in a ring of iron.

He is noted for being far too willing to sacrifice himself, even when the situation does not call for something so drastic. T-Bone is well-known for his swordsmanship. He is skilled enough to send attacks composed of blue lines of energy acting as blades that are powerful enough to cut through trains, boats, and sea kings.

In the English dubs, she is voiced by Priscilla Everett for 4Kids and by Monica Rial for Funimation.

However, after a series of unlucky events after meeting the Sanji and the Straw Hats, he has somewhat changed. Since then, Fullbody befriended former pirate Jango. Because he admired Jango's dancing skills, and the fact that Jango helped him fight off a pirate crew, he defended him in court after he was captured, at the cost of his own rank. Later, the two of them become followers and attracted to Hina, however Hina does not return their affection.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea

The Seven Warlords of the Sea (王下七武海 Ōka Shichibukai) are extremely powerful pirates who have allied themselves with the World Government. They hand over a fraction of their loot to the Government. Other pirates consider the Seven Warlords to be "government dogs". For their allegiance, the World Government pardons these pirates for their crimes and removes their bounties. The Seven Warlords are loosely based on the privateers of Europe, government endorsed pirates considered heroes in their homeland and pillagers in others.

Dracule Mihawk (ジュラキュール・ミホーク Jurakyūru Mihōku), nicknamed "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk (鷹の目のミホーク Taka no Me no Mihōku), is one of The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the strongest swordsman in the world. He is a pale skinned man who travels in a small boat that is shaped like a coffin. In battle he either wields a knife that he carries as a pendant around his neck or—if he fights a worthy opponent—a claymore, with a black, single edged, curved blade known as the world's strongest sword. He is able to mimic any ability he sees with his eyes granting him the nickname "Hawk-Eye", it is unknown whether a devil fruit is related or not. He is also able a slice objects at a distance like Zoro can, which is called the world's strongest slash . Both weapons bear a resemblance to the Christian cross, a resemblance that was removed in the 4Kids dub by shortening their crossguards. Recently, he appeared at the war in order to help the marines, but he stood down when Shanks arrived. His animal theme is the hawk. He is voiced by Takeshi Aono in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Wayne Grayson for 4Kids and by John Gremillion for Funimation.

Don Quixote Doflamingo (ドンキホーテ・ドフラミンゴ Donkihōte Dofuramingo), nicknamed "Scum of the Sea" (海のクズ Umi no Kuzu), is one of The Seven Warlords of the Sea. His names are a reference to the Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote and his animal theme, the flamingo, represented by the large coat of pink feathers that he wears. Doflamingo is one of the most carefree characters in One Piece. He seems to have a penchant for dramatic phrasing, as well as a habit of exaggerated posing when giving declarations. He also has an odd habit of sitting on unconventional things, like on the back of chairs, on tables, barrels and, even a pile of bodies in the middle of a war zone. Doflamingo likes to toy around with his opponents and victims in a somewhat sadistic and cruel way. He has the ability to control others using movements with his fingers similar to that of a puppeteer, although no Devil Fruit has been linked officially to this ability as of yet. He believes that the Great Pirate Era is nearing its end and a new age is about to begin. He owns a large auction house at the Sabaody Archipelago, where human and people of other species are sold as slaves. After the war between the pirates and marines ended, he seemingly killed Gecko Moria and said to him that he had orders coming from someone higher up than the marines. Doflamingo also presumably killed Bellamy after he found about Bellamy's humiliating defeat by Luffy. Doflamingo's former bounty is 340,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Hideyuki Tanaka in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Robert McCollum for Funimation.

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit (カゲカゲの実 Kage Kage no Mi) grants him the ability to control his shadow, allowing it to act completely independent from his body, and to control the shadows of others. Because his last crew was entirely annihilated in the "New World", he created a completely obedient, immortal army of zombies by implanting stolen shadows into corpses. Moria was apparently killed by Warlord Doflamingo in the aftermath of the Battle of Marineford. His animal theme is the gecko. Moria's former bounty is 320,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Katsuhisa Hōki in the Japanese version of the anime.

Hundreds of zombies make up the crew of Thriller Bark.

Perona (ペローナ Perōna), nicknamed "Ghost Princess" (ゴーストプリンセス Gōsuto Purinsesu), is a woman who ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Hollow-Hollow Fruit (ホロホロの実 Horo Horo no Mi), allowing her to create various ghosts that can either explode upon command or cause severe depression in an opponent. Hogback (ホグバック Hogubakku) is a medical genius who patches up corpses for Moria's stolen shadows. Using Luffy's shadow, Moria revived the body of Oars (オーズ Ōzu), nicknamed "Continent Puller" (大陸パラー Tairiku Parā), who is an extremely huge giant who ruled a country of brigands during his lifetime five hundred years before his resurrection. Using Brook's shadow, Moria revived Ryuma (龍馬 Ryūma) who is a samurai from the Wano Country in the New World who slayed a dragon during his lifetime. Using Zoro's shadow, Moria revived Jigoro (ジゴロウ Jigorō), nicknamed Jigoro "of the Wind" (風のジゴロウ Kaze no Jigorō), who is a samurai who single handedly killed seven-thousand pirates to save his own family. Using Sanji's shadow, Moria revived a penguin, dog corpse named Inuppe (犬ッペ).

Bartholomew Kuma

Bartholomew Kuma (バーソロミュー・くま Bāsoromyū Kuma), nicknamed "Tyrant" (暴君 Bōkun), is one of The Seven Warlords of the Sea. He is based on the real life pirate Bartholomew Roberts. A self-declared pacifist,^{[citation needed]} Kuma is frequently seen carrying a Bible. He has a reputation to be the only Warlord truly obedient to the World Government, although recent events suggest that he is not really obedient to the World Government and may be helping the Revolutionaries. He ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Paw-Paw Fruit (ニキュニキュの実 Nikyu Nikyu no Mi) and thus gained the ability to repel anything he touches with his palms, including physical objects such as people or air as well as abstract things such as pain and fatigue. The fruit also gave him the ability to teleport himself and other people, which he usually does after asking them where they would like to go. Kuma is the model for the Pacifista (パシフィスタ Pashifisuta), a class of experimental cyborgs, created by Dr. "Vegapunk". Their bodies are made of a substance harder than steel and from their mouths they can shoot blasts so powerful that they melt even metal. The other pacifista look just like Kuma, sharing his abnormally large stature, but lack the Warlord's Devil Fruit ability. Instead, Vegapunk gave them the ability to shoot laser beams from the palms of their hands.He was the one responsible for separating the entire Straw Hat crew onto different islands. His animal theme is the bear, Kuma is Japanese for "bear". Kuma's former bounty is 296,000,000 Berries. He and his copies are voiced by Hideyuki Hori in the Japanese version of the anime.

The "Snake Princess" (蛇姫 Hebihime) Boa Hancock (ボア・ハンコック Boa Hankokku), or "Pirate Empress" (「海賊女帝」 Kaizoku Jotei), is a woman of extraordinary beauty, the sole female member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea, leader of the all-female Kuja (九蛇) Tribe, and ruler of Amazon Lily (アマゾン・リリー Amazon Rirī), an island populated solely by women. She believes that because she is so beautiful, anything bad that she does will be forgiven by everyone, and because of that she is not afraid to hurt pirates, Marines, and even her own people. During their childhood, she and her two sisters were sold as slaves to the Celestial Dragons, who forced them to eat Devil Fruits. She and her sisters still bear the brand of the Celestial Dragons on their backs. To conceal their shameful past from their kinswomen the sisters concocted a story about having defeated a gorgon, claiming that their strange abilities were the result of the Gorgon's Curse and that they have cursed eyes on their backs that would turn anyone who sees them into stone. Hancock consumed the paramecia Love-Love Fruit (メロメロの実 Mero Mero no Mi) which gave her the ability to turn anyone charmed by her into stone. Unlike the women of the Kuja Tribe who only have Ambition, Hancock has King Ambition. Eventually, she falls in love with Luffy because of his selflessness and helps him infiltrate into the prison Impel Down to rescue his brother Ace. Hancock also participated in the war, and she has drawn suspicion from some of the marine officials due to her secretly helping Luffy. Hancock also decreed that Luffy should recover on Amazon Lily to hide from the World Government. Her animal theme is the snake. Hancock's former bounty is 80,000,000 Berries. She is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi in the Japanese version of the anime.

Her younger sisters both ate a model of the Snake-Snake Fruit (ヘビヘビの実 Hebi Hebi no Mi) which are both zoan type. The middle sister, Boa Sandersonia (ボア・サンダーソニア Boa Sandāsonia), ate the anaconda model. The youngest sister, Boa Marigold (ボア・マリーゴールド Boa Marīgōrudo) ate the cobra model. These fruits' abilities allow them to turn into a snake or a snake-human hybrid of their respective models.

Specializing in assassination, they utilize a weapon-themed martial art called Rokushiki (六式, "The Six Powers" in the English manga) which has six different super-human powers called "Rebirth", "Geppo", "Rankyaku", "Shigan", "Soru", and "Tekkai". The group was formerly led by Spandine (スパンダイン Supandain) who led the investigation in Ohara and was responsible for summoning the Buster Call.

Spandam

Spandam (スパンダム Supandamu) is the boss of the CP9, and son of the former boss, Spandine. Like his father, he lacks the fighting abilities of his subordinates. Spandam cares only about himself and is obsessed with rising up through the ranks of the World Government. Spandam is very clumsy (he tends to spill coffee on himself during moments of excitement), and short tempered with special sensitivity towards his name. He often reveals malice when gloating over his prisoners. He is voiced by Masaya Onosaka. In the English dub, he is voiced by Kent Williams for Funimation.

Funk Freed (ファンクフリード Fanku Furīdo, Funkfreed in the English manga), is the name of a sword Spandam uses which has the power of a zoan Devil Fruit called the Elephant-Elephant Fruit (ゾウゾウの実 Zō Zō no Mi), gives him the ability to transform into an elephant or an elephant-sword hybrid.

Rob Lucci

Rob Lucci (ロブ･ルッチ Robu Rucchi) is the strongest member of the CP9. Lucci is a man known for ruthlessly and mercilessly enforcing the justice of the World Government. Lucci was first seen as one of the five foremen of Galley-La Company's Dock One at Water 7. However, it was revealed that he is a member of the CP9 operating undercover, in order to obtain the Pluton blueprints from Iceburg. While undercover, Lucci never spoke, preferring to instead talk through his pet pigeon, Hattori, using ventriloquism. Lucci comes off as a cold and collected CP9 agent, almost never displaying any emotions. He seems to derive amusement and gratification from inflicting physical and emotional pain on others, making him a typical sadist. Despite all this apparent lack of morality, Lucci has displayed some, if very little, sympathy for those he dubs innocent. He ate a zoan Devil Fruit called the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard (ネコネコの実 モデル：豹 レオパルド Neko Neko no Mi, Moderu: Reoparudo, "Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Model" in the English manga), which allows him to transform into a leopard or leopard-human hybrid. Lucci is also the only Rokushiki fighter to use the seventh power, "Rokuohgun" ("Six King Pistol" in the English manga) He is voiced by Tomokazu Seki, in the English dub, he is voiced by Jason Liebrecht for Funimation.

Hattori (ハットリ) is Rob Lucci's pet pidgeon. Hattori was always around him (except while Lucci was fighting). Why Hattori was with Lucci was unknown considering the man's reputation as a heartless mass-murderer, though Lucci has had him since he was a child. He is voiced by Tomokazu Seki in the Japanese version.

Kaku

Kaku (カク), nicknamed "Mountain Wind" (山風 Yama Kaze), is a member of the CP9. He is first seen as one of the five foremen of Galley-La Company's Dock One at Water 7. It was Kaku that inspected the "Going Merry" and informed The Straw Hat Pirates that it was broken beyond repair. Later on, it is revealed that Kaku is a member of CP9 operating undercover in order to obtain the Pluton blueprints from Iceburg. During the course of the story, he eats a zoan Devil Fruit Ox-Ox Fruit, Model: Giraffe (ウシウシの実 モデル: ジラフ Ushi Ushi no Mi, Moderu: Jirafu, "Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe Model" in the English manga), which grants him the ability to transform into a giraffe or a giraffe-human hybrid. Kaku is also a skilled swordsman using the art of "Four Swords Style" by using his dual katana swords and both legs by using the one of the Rokushiki powers, "Rankyaku". Despite his role as a villain, Kaku is surprisingly honest, even to his enemies, though he doesn't seem to take insults well, but has great sportsmanship in combat. Kaku has a habit of speaking very maturely, despite only being a young adult. He is voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Jerry Jewell for Funimation.

Jabra

Jabra (ジャブラ Jabura) is a member of the CP9. Prior to the events at Enies Lobby, Jabra was sent on a mission beforehand along with Kumadori and Fukuro, to go undercover and assassinate some Revolutionaries. Jabra is extremely competitive, and was outraged that both Lucci and Kaku are stronger than him, especially because Kaku had been weaker when they had last parted ways. Jabra is also very short-tempered, but surprisingly he is the most rational member of the CP9. When in battle, Jabra uses deceptive and underhanded tactics. He also ate a zoan Devil Fruit called the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Wolf (イヌイヌの実 モデル：狼 ウルフ Inu Inu no Mi, Moderu: Urufu, "Mutt-Mutt Fruit, Wolf Model" in the English manga) which gives him the power to change into a wolf or wolf-human hybrid. Also in combat, Jabra uses a fighting style called "Tekkai Kenpo" ("Iron Body Kung Fu" in the English manga), and is the only Rokushiki fighter capable of moving while using "Tekkai". He is voice by Masaya Takatsuka in the Japanese version.

Blueno

Blueno (ブルーノ Burūno) is a member of the CP9. When first introduced, he is seen as a bartender in Water 7 and seems to be the most friendly with Franky and Pauly, talking with them about life and their current activities. He soon shows his true nature when he reveals that he was an undercover CP9 member to obtain Pluton blueprints from Iceburg. While the entire undercover CP9 unit gives the first expression of emotionless justice-devoted killing machines, Blueno is the only one to maintain such a façade. While the other CP9 members are shown taking pleasure in fighting, toying with their opponents and so on, Blueno remains calm and collected nearly all the time. Blueno ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Door-Door Fruit (ドアドアの実 Doa Doa no Mi), which allows him to create doors of any size through anything he touches. If Blueno creates doors through solid matter, it gives him passage through the object no matter how thick or how strong it is. Blueno can also create doors out of thin air that lead into a pocket dimension of sorts, that is apparently within the air itself, and warp to any desired location. He is voiced by Seiji Sasaki in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Bob Carter for Funimation.

Kumadori

Kumadori (クマドリ) is a member of the CP9. Before the events at Enies Lobby, Kumadori was sent on a mission with Jabra and Fukuro, to go undercover and assassinate some Revolutionaries. Kumadori seems to honor the samurai honor code very heavily as he comically attempts to take his own life (however, he instinctively uses "Tekkai" every time) after dishonoring himself. As he accepts the blame for nearly anything, even faults of others, this happens quite often in his appearances. Kumadori strongly resembles a kabuki actor. He is a very loud character, and often punctuates his sentences with a loud, dramatic, "YOYOI!!" Kumadori has a strange way of speaking, and tends to repeat or draw out syllables and words in the manner of kabuki actors. He also has a penchant for spouting haikus, even during battles and at other inappropriate times. Overall he is the most eccentric character in the CP9. Kumadori's specialty in fighting is using the Rokushiki power, "Rebirth". Unlike the other CP9 members, Kumadori can use his Rebirth power to control and manipulate his hair to grab or attack his enemies. In battle, Kumadori also uses a khakkhara that emits fire. He is voiced by Hiroaki Yoshida in the Japanese version.

Fukuro

Fukuro (フクロウ Fukurō), nicknamed, Fukuro "The Silent" (音無しのフクロウ Otonashi no Fukurō) and "Lover of Rumors" (噂好き Uwasa Zuki), is a member of the CP9. Prior to the events at Enies Lobby, Fukuro, along with Jabra and Kumadori, was sent on a mission to go undercover and assassinate some Revolutionaries. Fukuro is an oddly-shaped man with a zipper across his mouth, which has to be open in order for him to speak. Despite having the ability to "zip it", his biggest personality quirk is having a big mouth (both figuratively and literally). Fukuro also has the strange habit of saying "CHAPAPA" after almost every sentence. He also often blurts things out inconsiderately, despite one of his ironic nicknames, "The Silent", which may refer to his theme of an owl, a predatory bird who attacks silently at night. Fukuro is a Rokushiki fighter like the other CP9 members, except he seems to excel at the Rokushiki powers, "Soru" and "Shigan". Fukuro can combine his Soru and Shigan powers to create his own variation of techniques. He is voiced by Kumiko Watanabe in the Japanese version.

Kalifa

Kalifa (カリファ Karifa) is the only female member of the CP9. When first seen, Kalifa was Iceburg's secretary who violently kicked anyone that mocked her. She is known for her trademark phrase "That's sexual harassment". In reality, Kalifa is quite sly and crafty, as she enjoys embarrassing her superior, Spandam by accusing him of harassing her, again with her trademark phrase. Despite her initial impression of being completely serious and professional, she was easily flustered during her fight against Nami. She is also rather vain, considering herself so beautiful and sexy that she doesn't need to make her skin smooth with her Devil Fruit power. Although, she is somewhat calm and collected. During the course of the story, Kalifa eats a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Bubble-Bubble Fruit (アワアワの実 Awa Awa no Mi), which allows her to create cleansing soap and bubbles that are capable of not only to clean off dirt, but can also clean off power making her enemies weak. In the process of cleaning off power, Kalifa's victims are left in a clean, shiny, and slippery state that is extremely smooth. She is voiced by Naomi Shindo in the Japanese version.

Impel Down Personnel

Impel Down (インペルダウン Inperudaun) is one of three main locations of the World Government (alongside with Marineford and Enies Lobby), and is known as the world's greatest prison. Impel Down possess a system of levels where the prisoners are sent depending on their crimes; the most dangerous and insanely powerful criminals are sent to Level 6, and the less dangerous to Levels 1-5.

Magellan

Magellan (マゼラン Mazeran) is the Chief Warden of Impel Down. Magellan ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Venom-Venom Fruit (ドクドクの実 Doku Doku no Mi) that allows him to generate and manipulate poison such as breathing simple and minor toxic gas to put subordinates in place, blowing tear gas-bubbles to stun the opponents, or create an extremely fatal liquid poison. Because of the fruit's powers, Magellan is immune to all types of poison. The poison also gives his food flavor. The ends of Magellan's horns that are detachable, and can be worn like gloves over his fingers for slashing. Magellan's biggest quirk is that, although his Devil Fruit power gives him immunity from actually being poisoned, it doesn't spare him from diarrhea caused from eating poisoned food. As a result, he spends approximately ten hours each day in the bathroom relieving himself and eight hours sleeping. Though he only performs roughly four hours of duty per day as Chief Warden of Impel Down, he still takes his role quite seriously and does not tolerate the prisoners' bad behavior, as he has permission to execute any one of them he sees fit. Magellan also takes great pride in keeping Impel Down's reputation of being impenetrable and inescapable. Magellan seems to find it amusing whenever someone he doesn't particularly like gets poisoned or suffocated by his powers. He is voiced by Mitsuaki Hoshino in the Japanese version.

Hannyabal

Hannyabal (ハンニャバル Hannyabaru) is the Vice Warden of Impel Down. Hannyabal has a habit of saying he owns everything and then having to apologize afterwards for getting ahead of himself. He does this because he is an ambitious person. He also seems to be prone to freudian slips, which often give insight to his previously mentioned, ambitious qualities and his somewhat dark brand of humor. Hannyabal usually tries to show off how tough he really is to the prisoners, which is the reason he is admired amongst the guards. Hannyabal cares more about his own position than the security and welfare of the prison, however he seems only willing to let prisoners escape if they are relatively harmless and show genuine concern when powerful prisoners try to escape. Despite his seemingly lack of seriousness most of the time, due to his desire to get Magellan fired, Hannyabal may get serious when the situation gets to the extreme, especially if he risks getting fired too. His weapon of choice is a kessui (a double bladed naginata). If Hannybal spins it wildly, it create flames to deter any opponent. He is voiced by Tetsuo Goto in the Japanese version.

Sadie

Sadie (セイディ Seidi) is one out of the two Chief Guards of Impel Down. Sadie is a sadistic person who enjoys bringing pain and torture to others, including Marine allies, and can't seem to get enough of their screams, getting sexually excited hearing them. She also seems to have extreme pride in the virtually perfect defenses of Impel Down, and refuses the assistance of the Marines. She also tends to add an "mmmmm--!?" in the middle of her sentences. Sadie greatly resembles a dominatrix in design and personality. In battle, Sadie uses a thin, torturing whip. She is voiced by Yuka Koyama in the Japanese version.

Saldeath

Saldeath (サルデス Sarudesu) is one out of the two Chief Guards of Impel Down. Saldeath is not nearly as brutal as the other workers of Impel Down, telling his captives that they should be thankful they were captured by him. Nevertheless, he takes the position bestowed upon him in Impel Down very seriously. He is easily annoyed when Luffy constantly mistakes him for a monkey. Saldeath wields a trident. He is voiced by Kazuya Nakai in the Japanese version.

The Four Emperors

The Four Emperors (四皇 Yonkō) are the most powerful pirates in the New World. They form a precarious Balance of Power with The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Marine Headquarters that keeps the world at peace. The group consists of "Shanks", "Whitebeard", "Kaido", and "Big Mom".

Shanks

Captain Shanks (シャンクス Shankusu), nicknamed "Red-Haired" Shanks (「赤髪のシャンクス」 "Akagami no Shankusu"), is the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates and one of the Four Emperors. Shanks is one of the most laid back characters in the world of One Piece, preferring to take his time as he and his crew travels around the world rather than rushing from one place to another. Shanks isn't cruel like many other pirate captains, nor does he rule over his crew with fear to gain respect. His friendly nature means he won't purposely seek to harm others. Shanks doesn't seem to mind what happens to himself; he'll take others throwing food and drink or spitting on him without fighting back and laugh with his crew at his own misfortunes. However he would never forgive anyone for attacking a friend. Shanks is a former member of the Roger Pirates, where he had a rivalry with Buggy. At the beginning of the series, Shanks loses his left arm while saving 7-year-old Luffy's life, and afterwards entrusts the boy with his favorite straw hat. Shanks is a skilled swordsman. Before he lost his arm, he used to have frequent duels with Dracule Mihawk. He also has King Ambition, which allows him to render beings of weak determination in his proximity unconscious. Shanks recently appeared during the Battle of Marineford, with the purpose of bringing it to an end. Oda states that Shanks is the One Piece character that most resembles himself, because of his fun-loving, partying nature. He is voiced by Shūichi Ikeda in Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Tom Souhrada for 4Kids, and by Brandon Potter for Funimation.

Ben Beckman

Ben Beckman (ベン・ベックマン Ben Bekkuman) is the first mate of the Red-Haired Pirates. Beckman appears to be a lot less fun-loving than the other members of the crew and a lot more relaxed, acting as the level headed member. At times he seems amazed at the actions of Shanks, such as panicking when Luffy was taken, or getting even more drunk when he had already drunk a lot before hand when Mihawk brought news of Luffy's coming. He is first to speak out amongst the crew when they appear. He is also the first to ask questions on situations, such as whether the World Government would try to stop them seeing Whitebeard. Beckman carries a flintlock rifle with him, but he uses it more as a club of some sort than firing it. Beckman appears to have some sort of unknown special power that can be used in conjunction with the gun. He is voiced by Aruno Tahara in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Sean Hennigan for Funimation.

Yasopp

Yasopp (ヤソップ Yasoppu) is the sharpshooter of the Red-Haired Pirates, and the father of Usopp and husband of Banchina. He shares many personality traits with his son, including being able to encourage the rest of his crew to join in with his fun. He is very proud of his son Usopp, to the point where he would often talk over and over again about his son to Luffy (which led Luffy to recognize Usopp on sight from Yasopp's stories alone). During his time in Luffy's village Yasopp felt close to Luffy, who was the same age as Usopp, because he was separated from his son Usopp. Yasopp is portrayed as a virtually unequaled sharpshooter, capable of shooting the antennas off an ant at 100 feet without harming the rest of it. Being a sniper, Yasopp carries guns around with him almost all the time. He is mostly seen carrying a musket, likely from personal preference. He is voiced by Michitaka Kobayashi in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith for 4Kids, and by Scott Freeman for Funimation.

Lucky Roux

Lucky Roux (ラッキー・ルウ Rakkī Rū) is a member of the Red-Haired Pirates. Lucky appears to be a very fun loving pirate who is often seen hanging around Yasopp. He is the first person to actually kill someone in One Piece and sets the stage for the series; a pirate's life is a dangerous one. Lucky also has a very large appetite as he is seen swallowing a whole barrel of sake by himself. He is almost always shown with a large grin even during the war, holding a large rack of meat in at least one hand. Reports of Lucky being the fastest man in the world has been passed off as a myth and hasn't been confirmed to this date. So far, Lucky has been seen using a flintlock as his weapon of choice. He is voiced by Jin Domon in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Brimmer for 4Kids, and by John Burgmeier for Funimation.

Rockstar

Rockstar (ロックスター Rokkusutā), nicknamed "Rookie" (ルーキー Rūkī), is a member of the Red-Haired Pirates. Before joining the Red-Haired Pirates, he claimed to have been once a famous and big-time pirate of a different pirate crew. Rockstar is a confident member of Shanks' crew who seems to have a lot of pride. When he was insulted by Whitebeard's men, he wanted to fight them because they had damaged his honor. He also tried to use the strength of his captain to back up the importance of a letter he delivered to Whitebeard. He seems very loyal to his captain, sticking up for him in front of Whitebeard. So far, Rockstar's fighting abilities have not been seen yet. Rockstar's current bounty is 94,000,000 Berries. He was voiced by Daisuke Gōri in Japanese version, but with the passing of Gōri, his new voice actor has yet to be named. In the English dub, he is voiced by Andrew Chandler for Funimation.

The Whitebeard Pirates

The Whitebeard Pirates (白ひげ海賊団 Shirohige Kaizokudan) are the strongest pirate crew in the world. They are led by Captain Whitebeard, also known as by his real name, Captain Edward Newgate, who was the only person to have ever tied with Gol D. Roger in a fight. The Whitebeard Pirates are divided into sixteen divisions of one hundred men, each led by a high ranking Whitebeard Pirate. Following the death of Whitebeard, their fate is as of yet unknown. The name of their ship is "Moby Dick" (モビーディック号 Mobī Dikku-gō)

Whitebeard

Captain Whitebeard (白ひげ Shirohige), his real name is Edward Newgate (エドワード・ニューゲート Edowādo Nyūgēto), is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and regarded as the world's strongest pirate. Whitebeard is a very large human with a large white mustache in the shape of an upward bound crescent moon. He is usually seen attached to medical equipment and surrounded by nurses. Fighting with a bisento as his weapon, he was the only man who was able to match Gol D. Roger in combat and is the one closest to obtaining his treasure, "One Piece." Whitebeard ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (グラグラの実 Gura Gura no Mi), which allows him to create shock waves powerful enough to cause earthquakes, tsunamis and even split an island in two. He also has King Ambition. Fleet Admiral Sengoku even claims that Whitebeard's powers could destroy the world. He considers all his crewmen as his sons and will protect them with all his might if they are threatened. Whitebeard believes it is impossible to live in the world without humanity and justice. However, in the "Battle of Marineford", Whitebeard is killed at the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates. He is voiced by Kinryu Arimoto in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dub, he is voiced by R. Bruce Elliott for Funimation.

Marco

Marco (マルコ Maruko), nicknamed "Phoenix" Marco (不死鳥のマルコ Fushichō no Maruko), is the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, who, following Whitebeard's death, are now under his command. Marco appears to be a patient and calm, mild-mannered man. He also appears to be somewhat playful, pretending to be hurt from attack with obvious sarcasm, though he can also quickly become serious. Marco clearly cares for his crew because he warned them to stay back to avoid his Ambition. Marco also ate an unnamed mythical-creature zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a phoenix or phoenix-human hybrid. He is voiced by Masakazu Morita in the Japanese version.

Portgas D. Ace

Portgas D. Ace (ポートガス・D・エース Pōtogasu D. Ēsu, "Portgaz D. Ace" in the Funimation subs, and "Portgaz D. Trace" in the edited dub), nicknamed "Fire Fist" Ace (火拳のエース Hiken no Ēsu, Trace "Heat Fist" in the edited dub), is the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he is Luffy's adopted older brother. Though it is implied at first that he is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, but he is actually the son of Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge (ポートガス・D・ルージュ Pōtogasu D Rūju, "Portgaz D. Rouge" in the Funimation subs). Rejecting his biological male parent, he only recognizes Whitebeard as his father and took the surname of his mother, because he owes her a great debt. To conceal his existence from the World Government, Rouge carried him for twenty months before giving birth. Afterwards, she died from exhaustion. Ace ate a logia Devil Fruit called the Flame-Flame Fruit (メラメラの実 Mera Mera no Mi, "Flare-Flare Fruit" in the 4Kids dub) which allows him to manipulate, create, and transform into fire. He is also able to have Ambition (覇気 Haki). Ace habitually falls asleep in the middle of meals or conversations, a trait also seen with Luffy and Garp. His back bears the mark of Whitebeard–a skull with a white mustache superimposed over a manji. The manji was changed to crossbones in the anime and in later chapters of the manga.Ace was a also the former captain of the "Spade Pirates". At the Battle of Marineford, Ace's fire was no match for Admiral Akainu's magma powers. Ace eventually sacrifices his life to protect Luffy, much to Luffy's horror. Ace ranked in the Top 10 of both Shōnen Jump character popularity polls since the character's introduction. He is voiced by Toshio Furukawa in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Frank Frankson for 4Kids, and by Travis Willingham for Funimation.

Jozu

Jozu (ジョズ), nicknamed "Diamond" Jozu (ダイヤモンド・ジョズ Daiyamondo Jozu), is the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Jozu is a gruff, fairly quiet individual who tends to point out info to his crewmates. He appears to be quite unrelenting to his enemies as he had no qualms in attempting to strike an almost-downed enemy a second time immediately after a first hit. He is very loyal to Whitebeard and his crew. Jozu ate an unnamed, unknown class Devil Fruit that gives him the ability to greatly increase his offensive and defensive powers. Jozu's already strong physical attacks and defenses are enhanced by the density of his diamond body. His incredible durability was witnessed at the Battle of Marineford, where Jozu was able to withstand Dracule Mihawk's "strongest slash in the world". He is voiced by Takashi Nagasako in the Japanese version.

Thatch

Thatch (サッチ Sacchi) was the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Thatch was one of the first to try befriending Ace when he had arrived on the ship. Ace responded cynically, and questioned why he is not being held with shackles while on board of the Moby Dick, Thatch merely gave an amused look, as though he believes that was unnecessary. Thatch later found the Dark-Dark Fruit, the Devil Fruit that Blackbeard was after for a long time. This Devil Fruit was the very reason that Blackbeard joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so he killed Thatch and ran off with it, leaving his former commander, Ace, to hunt him down for revenge. All that is known about Thatch's fighting abilities, was that he was a swordsman.

Vista

Vista (ビスタ Bisuta), nicknamed "Flower Sword" (花剣 Kaken), is the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Like all division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista seems to be very loyal to Whitebeard. He also seems to be modest. Vista is a tall man with a curly mustache and a top hat that resembles a stereotypical villain. Vista is a swordsman that dual-wields katana swords. He seems to be a swordsman of world renown, shown by the fact that Dracule Mihawk commented that only a fool would not know Vista's name. Vista lives up to his reputation, and was capable of matching Mihawk in sword combat. Vista is also capable of using Ambition.

Blamenco

Blamenco (ブラメンコ Buramenko) is the sixth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Blamenco is a short but muscular man with large lips and has pockets under his chin, possibly on his chest.

They were all under command of Whitebeard during his war against the Marines and The Seven Royal Warlords of the Sea. During this war Monkey D. Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Buggy and Galdino became too allies of Whitebeard. The Warlord Jimbei is also an ally of Whitebeard as he refused to battle against him and lost his title as a Warlord of the Sea. In the past Whitebeard freed his people from the World Government.

As one of the Four Emperors, Kaido is one of the strongest pirates in the world. He attempted to take Whitebeard's life, which is something that few would dare, and managed to clash with Shanks. He also once fought on equal grounds against the Warlord, Moria, until he somehow gained the upper hand and became victorious.

But unlike the other people with the Spirit of D., he has a stern and serious demeanor, however in all of his appearances thus far, except at Gol D. Roger's execution, he is seen with a smug grin on his face. Dragon speaks as though he is a mystic of sorts and apparently doesn't like to speak of, or be asked about, his past. He also has a strange habit of always looking towards the East Blue when in the wind. Dragon is the World Government's greatest enemy and is the most wanted man in the world. It is also strongly hinted that Dragon was behind the events at Logue Town, such as causing a lightning bolt, the sudden, severe rain, and blowing strong winds.

He is also unfailingly polite, usually referring to others as "Mr.", and appears to be honorable enough to refuse taking credit that is due to others. Law also appears to have a sense of honor (or at least respect for those he sees as potential rivals in the future), which is seen when he appears at Marineford and claims he will help Luffy, because it would be "too lame" if his future enemy were to die.

Also, it has the ability to disable the devil fruit powers of others, as long as he is touching the person. After killing Whitebeard, he also somehow stole the powers of the paramecia Devil Fruit called the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. As a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he killed Thatch, 4th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, to get hold of the Dark-Dark Fruit he had sought for several decades. For that reason, he was pursued by Ace who eventually confronts him. After defeating Ace and turning him in to the World Government, he was appointed the replacement for Crocodile as a Warlord. After appearing at Impel Down, Blackbeard reveals that the only reason he wanted the Warlord title was so he could gain the government's trust, pass through the Gates of Justice, and infiltrate Impel Down; having done that, he claims he no longer needs it. His ultimate goal, which he has already schemed, is to become King of the Pirates. He was the only Warlord without an animal theme. He is voiced by Akio Ōtsuka in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Mike Pollock for 4Kids and by Cole Brown for Funimation.

Augur is extremely calm and analytic even during battle. He, like his crewmates, is a heavy believer in fate. He is very loyal to Blackbeard and the rest of the crew. Van Auger uses a rifle called "Senriku" for battle. The rifle is extra long in length, and allows extraordinary long range shooting. His skills in accuracy seem to surpass Usopp's. Auger can shoot targets that are dozens of miles away, and can even tell the condition of the targets after he shot them. Another example of his extreme sharp-shooting skills is that he can shoot through the bullets of Impel Down and then through the barrels of their guns, destroying them. Auger did this in a matter of seconds. He is voiced by Masaya Takatsuka in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Barry Yandell for Funimation.

He seems to be overconfident, as he climbs buildings and challenges random people, proclaiming himself as the "Champion".

Burgess possesses incredible physical strength, like throwing an entire hotel across a great distance while jumping extremely high to reach his target. He is voiced by Tetsu Inada in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Phil Parsons for Funimation.

Doc Q

Doc Q (ドクQ Doku Kyū), nicknamed "Reaper" (死神 Shinigami), is a member and doctor (though, ironically, he has a sick body and needs his horse, Stronger who is just as sick to get around.) of the Blackbeard pirates. Doc Q, like the rest of his crew believes in fate, even though it seems to center more around the belief of luck. He seems to note when people are lucky or unlucky, and praises those with luck. He is very well aware of his sick body, but accepts it and even laughs about it. Doc Q is always seen traveling on the back of his horse Stronger. As he is, by his own admission, very sick, this trait is often shown on his expressions. Despite that, he also displays occasional smiles on matters he finds impressive. Doc Q has been seen carrying around scythe bags on his back. And so, Doc Q uses a double bladed scythe in combat. He is voiced by Naoya Uchida in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Kenny Green for Funimation.

Stronger

Stronger (ストロンガー Sutorongā, "Strongheart" in the English manga) is the name of the horse that Doc Q rides on. Because Doc Q is seemingly always sick, he rides on Stronger all the time, since the doctor tends to collapse if left unsupported for some time. However, Stronger is just as sick as he is, which can be seen as ironic, because horses are generally portrayed as an image of good health.

Lafitte

Lafitte (ラフィット Rafitto, "Rafitte" in the edited dub) is a member and navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates. During his tenure as a policeman, Lafitte was excessively cruel and violent, to the point of being exiled from the West Blue. In contradiction to his past, Lafitte now seems to be a calm and quiet individual. He has yet to show the cruelty of his past. He is also a heavy believer of luck, fate, and dreams. Lafitte seems to have eaten an unnamed, and unknown class Devil Fruit that allows him to transform his arms into wings and fly. It is also revealed that he also has the ability to hypnotize. This ability could possibly have some relationship to his Devil Fruit powers, but this is unconfirmed. Lafitte is a swordsman who possesses a shikomizue for his weapon of choice.

During the riot caused by Luffy and the Blackbeard Pirates, he was temporarily freed to deal with the latter. However, instead of dealing with the pirate, Shiryu aided them and decided to join Blackbeard's crew believing that it was fate that brought Blackbeard to him, and that fate told him to join the crew. Shiryu is extremely sadistic and seems to enjoy killing people any time he can. He massacred many prisoners within the walls of Impel Down. He also killed his subordinates right after being released from prison, while giving a sarcastic apology. Shiryu is a master swordsman and is extremely proficient with his nodachi sword. He is voiced by Takayuki Sugō in the Japanese version.

He was eventually freed from prison by the Blackbeard Pirates, and since then became a member of their crew. Despite being known for committing crimes that caused his existence to be erased from history, Wolf seems to have a playful attitude, as seen when commenting that he was found when he was trying to hide behind Marine Headquarters at Marineford. He is also quite shy, as he acts scared when people realize who he is and continues hiding while the rest of the crew fights Whitebeard. In fact, Wolf was the only person there who did not fight in that war. Wolf is the largest giant in the world, but his combat abilities are unknown.

Cobra is very wise and fair, and cares deeply for his kingdom and people even though they rebelled against him. He is compassionate toward his subjects, but does not go too far in doing so, as when Koza demands that he use Dance Powder, he explains that other countries need rain. He can be humble and self-sacrificing as a king, bowing before the Straw Hat Pirates in the bath for helping his daughter, justifying it by saying that without his clothes, he does not have his status as a king, and is doing it as a father.

He also seemed to have shown his strong loyalty to Alabasta, as he selflessly sacrificed him life to save the country from the exploding time bomb Crocodile had set. However, Pell survived the explosion. He ate a zoan Devil Fruit called the Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Falcon (トリトリの実 モデル：隼 ファルコン Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon, "Tweet-Tweet Fruit, Falcon Type", and "Tweet-Tweet Fruit" in the 4Kids dub), and thus can transform into a falcon or falcon-human hybrid.

Courageous, (as a kid, he did not hesitate to attack a bandit who was threatening Vivi), he always tries to protect his friends, his village or his country when he thinks they are in danger.

Toto

Toto (トト Toto, "Toh-Toh" in the English manga, and "Tutu" in the 4Kids dub) is Koza's father, and Aswa's husband. Originally, Toto was deeply afraid of Cobra, due to the great distance between his and the king's social statuses. He was usually afraid that Cobra would enact some great punishment of sorts if ever he or his son, Koza, would step out of place.

The name of their ship is "Big Top" (ビッグトップ号 Biggu Toppu-gō)

Buggy

Captain Buggy (バギー Bagī), nicknamed Buggy "the Clown" (道化のバギー Dōke no Bagī), is the ruthless captain of the circus-themed Buggy Pirates, who is known for his love of cannons. He is particularly sensitive when it comes to his big, red, round nose and when insulted, will even resort to killing his own men. Nevertheless, he is beloved by his crew. Years before the series' present, while a member of the "Roger Pirates", he brought a Devil Fruit and a treasure map into his possession. He intended to sell the fruit and to search for the treasure, but Shanks (his former friend) accidentally caused Buggy to swallow the fruit and drop the map into the sea. Buggy holds a grudge against Shanks ever since. The fruit he swallowed was a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Chop-Chop Fruit (バラバラの実 Bara Bara no Mi). Having eaten it, it allows him to separate his body into parts and to control these parts independently of each other as long as they remain in his proximity; and, as long as at least one of his feet is on the ground, he can levitate the other parts. This ability also makes him immune to cutting attacks; any such attack will only separate him into parts. Later in the series, he is captured and put into Impel Down, the undersea prison, and breaks out with the help of Luffy and the other prisoners. He also has a compact cannonball that it seems he shoots out of his shoe called the Muggy Ball. Buggy's current bounty is 15,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Wills for 4Kids, and by Mike McFarland for Funimation.

Mohji is quite pompous and at times silly. He has also displays a strong rivalry with Cabaji. He tends to treat Richie better than most other people and adores the big lion. He even took it offensively when Richie was used as a shield by Cabaji. Mohji has the ability to control any animal he wishes, or so he says. He has yet to prove it in the series outside of his pet, Richie. Mohji usually opts to use him in battle rather than fight himself. He uses a whip in battle. He is voiced by Shigenori Soya in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Tom Souhrada for 4Kids, and by Chuck Huber for Funimation.

Richie

Richie (リチー Richī) is Mohji's pet lion. Despite his size and fierce look he mostly acts like a kitten and has his goofy moments when he is doing nothing. He also is not very bright and occasionally thinks about nothing but food. However, if Mohji commands him to do so, Richie can use his immense strength to kill his enemies. He is voiced by Tetsu Inada in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Mike McFarland for Funimation.

Cabaji (カバジ Kabaji), nicknamed Cabaji "the Acrobat" (曲芸のカバジ Kyokugei no Kabaji), is the second mate of the Buggy Pirates. Cabaji is always serious, mysterious, and elegant. He appears concerned somewhat for Buggy, along with Mohji. He is usually by Buggy's side, unlike Mohji, who is ordered to do other things. Cabaji doesn't seem to care for Mohji's pet lion, Richie, at all, even using him as a shield. Cabaji fights with a combination of swordplay and acrobatics (mostly on a unicycle) to fight his enemies. Cabaji also uses carnival tricks for attacks as well. He is voiced by Endou Moriya in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Wayne Grayson for 4Kids, and by Greg Ayres for Funimation.

Alvida sees herself as the most beautiful lady in all of the seas; if someone disagrees, she will smash the offender with her spiked club. Though obese at the beginning of the series, she ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Smooth-Smooth Fruit (スベスベの実 Sube Sube no Mi, "Slip-Slip Fruit" in the English manga and 4Kids dub), which makes her thin and allows attacks to easily slip off of her. Alvida's weapon of choice is an iron spiked club (hence the nickname). She is named after the Scandinavian pirate Awilda. Alvida's current bounty is 5,000,000 Berries. She is voiced by Yoko Matsuoka in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, she is voiced by Kayzie Rogers and Caren Manuel for 4Kids, and by Laurie Steele for Funimation.

Other Major Characters

The characters listed below have no connection to any origination what so ever. Therefore, they act on their own.

Crocodile

Crocodile (クロコダイル Kurokodairu), nicknamed "Sir" Crocodile (サー･クロコダイル Sā Kurokodairu), is a former a member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea and, unbeknown to the World Government, the boss of the criminal organization Baroque Works under the codename of "Mr. 0" (ミスター・ゼロ Misutā Zero), and his former partner was Nico Robin, who was under the codename of "Ms. All-Sunday". Crocodile lacks almost any code of honor and does not see the point in offering those who are about to die a chance of dying honorably. Although he has referred to many of his opponents' struggles as worthless in the past, he hasn't referred to his opponents' struggles, since he first fought Luffy. Crocodile has shown to be extremely cynical and cold-hearted. He displays complete disregard of the romantic pirate lifestyle, stating that all the things the King of the Pirates once had mean nothing to him. He places more importance in military power. Crocodile believes that only ignorant fools declare their grandiose dreams. Several times, he refers to trust and faith in others as idiotic. He has stated that he has done away with countless people like that. He goes so far as to mock those who fight for others, making their defeats to him all the more harsh. He also, by his own admission, admits that he is not rational at times. After the Straw Hat Pirates thwarted Crocodile's plans to overthrow the Alabasta Kingdom with Baroque Works, he was stripped of his Warlord status and sent to the government prison Impel Down in Level 6.^– He ate a logia Devil Fruit called the Sand-Sand Fruit (スナスナの実 Suna Suna no Mi), which allows him to manipulate sand, absorb moisture with his right hand, and as long as he is not wet, he can turn his body into sand. Crocodile also has a large golden alloy hook in place of a left hand, that contains a potent poison and a dagger underneath. Crocodile's current bounty is 81,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Michael Alston Baley for 4Kids, and by John Swasey for Funimation.

Jimbei

Jimbei (ジンベエ Jinbē), nicknamed "First Son of the Sea" (海の最初の息子 Umi no Saisho no Musuko), is a yakuza-esque whale shark fishman, and a former member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea. Jimbei is a proud fishman with great pride and honor. Despite being proud, Jimbei appears to put his priorities and principles over his honor, and is not above retreating from an otherwise unfinished battle (even being shamed or openly mocked by an opponent) if it meant for the sake of the greater good. While he is a fishman with great emotional control, he is empathetic, and understanding of the pains of others, such as being brought to tears when Luffy broke down emotionally in front of him after he had awoken from the Battle of Marineford. In exchange for the World Government granting him Warlord-status, Jimbei disbanded his pirate crew, the "Sunny Pirates" (who were formerly led by "Fisher Tiger" until he died), part of which became the Arlong Pirates. Though the World Government knows him as a pirate-hating pirate, he has a weakness for Whitebeard and his men, due to Whitebeard's declaration that Fishman Island is his territory and thus under his protection, which scares off slave traders and pirates and brought peace to the area. For refusing to raise a hand against Whitebeard, Jimbei was thrown into the world's greatest prison, Impel Down in Level 6, until he agrees to go to war against Whitebeard. However, he remained adamant and eventually resigned his position. Jimbei is a master of "Fishman Karate". His strikes are so strong, that he does not even need to make physical contact with an enemy as the very air will blow them away. Jimbei also displays being able to manipulate water as if it were a tangible cloth through Fishman Karate. Among fishmen, Jimbei has shown the unique ability to communicate with fish, even at a long distance. Jimbei's current bounty is 250,000,000 Berries. He was voiced by Daisuke Gōri in the Japanese version for two episodes until his death in 2010, after which he is replaced by Katsuhisa Hōki.

Rojā), sometimes known as Gold Roger (ゴールド・ロジャー Gōrudo Rojā), at the time of The Straw Hat Pirates' journey, is the man referred to as King of the Pirates (海賊王 Kaizoku-Ō), and was captain of the "Roger Pirates". Suffering from an incurable disease, he decided to make a complete voyage through the Grand Line with his crew. Afterward, he disbanded the crew and turned himself over to the World Government, who announced that they captured him. At his execution, twenty-two years before the beginning of the series, he stated that he left all of his treasures in one piece, and that it is up for the taking. This spawned the "The Great Pirate Era", with various pirates looking to become the King of the Pirates, by finding the treasure referred to as the "One Piece". He is able to listen to "the voice of all things", allowing him to read the Poneglyphs. He is the father of Portgas D. Ace. He is voiced by Chikao Ōtsuka in the Japanese version.

Rayleigh is light hearted, casual and fun loving, much like his captain Gol D. Roger was supposed to have been. In the past he was shown to have been intolerable to the antics of the younger members arguing, and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. Despite once being enemies with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh seems to have great respect for their captain, like Roger, and shed a tear for Whitebeard's passing. He has settled down on the Sabaody Archipelago, where he works as a coating mechanic. Rayleigh has King Ambition (覇王色の覇気 Haōshoku no Haki), a so far unexplained ability that can, among other things, make weak people pass out. He can aim it at multiple targets in his vicinity. It also allows him to render users of logia Devil Fruit users vulnerable to physical attack. Rayleigh has shown the ability to use a sword. Although, he does comment he is out of practice. Rayleigh admits that the former Roger Pirates know of what happened during the Blank Century. He has been friends with Hachi for twenty years, ever since he was saved by him, when he was cast away at sea. Currently, he is training Luffy on how to master his Haki power. He is voiced by Keiichi Sonobe in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Bradford Hutson for Funimation.

Crocus

Crocus (クロッカス Kurokkasu) was a former member and doctor of the "Roger Pirates". Crocus is a wise and caring man and has a strange habit to take his time when it comes to answer questions. Fifty years before the current storyline, Crocus met the "Rumbar Pirates" as they entered the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain from the West Blue. Crocus promised to take care of their pet whale "Laboon" while they journeyed the Grand Line. However despite the Rumbar Pirates' promise to come back after two to three years, Crocus didn't meet them again at the promised time and waited much longer. Twenty-four years later, Crocus met the Roger Pirates who came into the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain. Learning that their captain, Gol D. Roger, was suffering from an incurable disease, Crocus was asked by the pirates to join them as their doctor in order to help stabilize Roger's health as they journeyed the Grand Line. Wanting to find out what had happened to the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus accepted their offer and joined them. After Roger was executed, Crocus returned to Laboon and his home in the entrance to the Grand Line. Crocus is a very tough and powerful fighter. He uses harpoons as his weapon of choice, and is even strong enough to kill Sea Kings. He is voiced by Goro Naya in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Jerry Russell for Funimation.

Bon Clay

Bon Clay has a flamboyant attitude which includes singing and dancing. As opposed to the ideas of his fellow agents, Bon Clay values friendship highly, as evidenced by his selfless sacrifice to allow the Straw Hat Pirates to escape Alabasta. As a former Officer Agent of Baroque Works, Bon Clay was the only agent without a female partner, because as a transvestite, he fills both roles by himself. Likewise, his codename is a composite of a male Baroque Works agent's number, "Mr. 2", and a female agent's holiday, "Bon Clay", which is the end of the Bon Festival. After the Alabasta Revolution To Save Luffy and his crew, Bon Clay was captured and arrested by Captain Hina of the Marines, and was put into Impel Down on Level 3. He eventually became Luffy's ally and sacrifices himself to let Luffy escape Impel Down. It is unknown if Bon Clay was killed by Chief Warden Magellan or not.

Galdino (ギャルディーノ Gyarudīno) is a former Officer Agent of Baroque Works and was under the codename of "Mr. 3" (ミスター・スリー Misutā Surī), alongside his former partner "Ms. Golden Week". Crocodile only allowed Galdino to hold his position in the organization as Mr. 3 because of his cunning intelligence and that Mr. 4 was too mentally slow. Otherwise, he would be lower ranked.^{[citation needed]} After being sent to Impel Down on Level 2, he escaped with the assistance of Buggy, whom he shared a kindred bond with, and Luffy, an alliance that, while weak, proves itself on some occasions. In Impel Down, he proves his overall lack of fighting spirit many times. He acts like a coward and backs up Buggy's escape plan over Luffy's much more dangerous rescue mission. When Magellan reaches the fleeing group during their escape, Galdino shows a moment of bravery, but admits he could only hold it together for a brief moment. He takes part at the Battle of Marineford alongside the other Impel Down escapees. Galdino ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Wax-Wax Fruit (ドルドルの実 Doru Doru no Mi), a Devil Fruit which allows him to tap infinite amounts of a special candle wax from his body. He can manipulate this wax to form any shape he desires, control its motion in both liquid and hardened states, and harden it to become as strong as steel. He usually crafts artistic weapons with such wax, which, when used at its maximum peak, was strong enough to take down a pirate with a bounty of 42,000,000.^{[citation needed]} He can also manipulate a small amount of fire.

After Arlong and his crew were defeated and captured by the marines, Hachi escapes and opens a floating takoyaki restaurant. He becomes close friends with Camie and constantly rescues her from Sea Kings and slave traders.

He was defeated by Zoro and sent to Impel Down on Level 4 after the Alabasta Revolution. He assists Crocodile and, unintentionally, Monkey D.

Anything from a simple mistake to large shocking situation makes her shocked to a degree greater than any other normal person would be. Camie and Pappagu also have the most unfortunate luck of getting eaten by Sea Kings almost every time. Camie also has the unfortunate luck of getting captured almost every time, though it is likely, because she is so naive and gullible. She is voiced by Haruna Ikezawa in the Japanese version.

He is voiced by Kōzō Shioya in the Japanese version.

Minor Characters

Baroque Works

Baroque Works (バロック・ワークス Barokku Wākusu) was Crocodile's undercover, criminal organization. Their goal was to overthrow the government of the Alabasta Kingdom by inciting a revolution. The members were promised high positions in the ideal nation Crocodile planned to create on the Alabastan soil. However, Crocodile's ultimate goal was to turn that nation into the world's strongest military power by obtaining the ancient weapon Pluton, which is hidden somewhere in the country. The organization was led by thirteen male agents, who use the code names Mr. 0 through Mr. 13, and their female partners, who used code names taken from weekdays or holidays. The agents Mr. 0 through Mr. 5 and their partners were called Officer Agents and commanded the 200 lower ranking members called Billions. The agents Mr. 6 through Mr. 13 and their partners were called Frontier Agents. They, with the exception of Mr. 13 and his partner, who serve as messengers and punishers, commanded the 1800 lowest ranking members called Millions. Crocodile acted as "Mr. 0" and president, and Nico Robin acted as "Ms. All-Sunday" and vice president. Daz Bonez acted as "Mr. 1". He worked with Paula, who acted as "Ms. Doublefinger". Bentham acted as "Mr. 2 Bon Clay" who worked by himself, assuming both male and female aspects thanks to his Devil Fruit powers. Galdino acted as "Mr. 3". He worked with "Ms. Golden Week".

After the truth of Crocodile's actions were finally known by the rebels and royal guard, the Marines arrested Crocodile, who was stripped of all titles and permissions granted by the World Government, and Baroque Works disbanded. The name of their main ship is "Full" (フール号 Fūru-gō, "Downpour" in the English manga).

Paula is calm and mild tempered partner who has a funny way of walking that over exaggerates the "sexy" hip swing that often is used to display a sexy woman. She is not easily amused by the antics of others and remains unweathered in any situation. She displayed a tendency to play with her victims, but nonetheless, she is a lethal fighter who does not shy away from violence.

Ms. Golden Week is a young girl. Her personality is that of one laid back to the point of fault. She, for instance, is perfectly fine with having a picnic during an ongoing battle. Another example of this was when she sat a few feet away from a cup of tea, and apparently was too lazy to walk over to it and pick it up herself. In battle, Ms. Golden Week uses a paint palette and paint brush. If the paint Ms. Golden Week uses touches anybody, then their emotions and behavior are changed, depending what color paint touches them. She is voiced by Akiko Nakagawa in the Japanese version.

Ms. Merry Christmas ate a zoan Devil Fruit called the Mole-Mole Fruit (モグモグの実 Mogu Mogu no Mi, "Diggy-Diggy Fruit" in the English manga and 4Kids dub) that gave her the ability to transform into a mole or mole-human hybrid.

Mr. 5 ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the "Bomb-Bomb Fruit" (ボムボムの実 Bomu Bomu no Mi, "Boom-Boom Fruit" in the English manga) which allows him to turn any part of his body into a bomb without harming himself, and it renders all explosive based attacks useless against him.

Mr. 9's favorite phrase was "Bye bye, baby." Most of his sentences ended with "baby". Mr. 9 was very overconfident, cocky, and was a complete snob. However, when it came down to it, he was actually a pretty dependable guy, as when he a had a change of heart and helped Vivi and Igaram (after they were exposed) escape Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine, declaring that he and Vivi were still partners. Yet, Mr. 9 was presumably killed by Mr. 5. Mr. 9 could perform several acrobatic jumps and cartwheels, and weapon of choice were dual baseball bats (that also had chains inside).

So far, three island have been confirmed in Skypiea, which are "Angel Island", "Shandora", "Bilka" (which has been destroyed by Eneru), and "Weatheria". The people are unique in that they have small wings on their backs. The daily life of sky people revolves around the use of "Dials", which normally aren't available in the Blue Sea. As opposed to the "Berry" of the rest of the world, it uses "Extol" as currency.

Angel Island

Angel Island (エンジェル島 Enjeru Tō) is the original part of Skypiea. The people of Angel Island are mostly a non-aggressive race who live peacefully. They use "Dials" for everyday use such as cooking.

Gan Fall

Gan Fall (ガン・フォール Gan Fōru, "Ganfor" in the English manga, and "Gunfall" in the 4Kids dub), nicknamed "Sky Knight" (空の騎士 Sora no Kishi), is the current "God" of Skypiea. Gan Fall is an old but noble man with a big heart who will help even a stranger if they are in danger. He thinks not for himself but for the whole of Skypiea. His approach to situations is one of a diplomatic response rather than a warriors act and was against the centuries old war with the Shandorians. Gan Fall assumed the role of "God" after Eneru was defeated. Gan Fall's weapon of choice appears to be a lance. He is voiced by Jouji Yanami in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by John Swasey for Funimation.

In the English dub, he is voiced by Jim Johnson for Funimation.

Amazon

Amazon (アマゾン) is the elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea.

She is voiced by Keiko Yamamoto in the Japanese version. In the English dub, she is voiced by Juli Erickson for Funimation.

In the English dub, he is voiced by Grant James for Funimation.

Conis

Conis (コニス Konisu) is Pagaya's daughter and citizen of Skypiea. Conis is head strong, hopeful, and cares deeply for the well being of others. She becomes more and more courageous, speaking her mind and not being afraid of her people's "God" Eneru as they struggle to fight him. The major reason why Conis was able to do so was because of her sense of justice and morality, her heart breaking loss of her father, and the love for her people. She is voiced by Rieko Takahashi in the Japanese version. In the English dub, she is voiced by Laura Bailey for Funimation.

Suu (スー Sū) is a "cloud fox" and pet of Conis. Conis named her Suu, because it is the only sound Suu makes. Suu can only communicate through gestures, mimics, and charades. She is voiced by Akemi Okamura in the Japanese version. In the English dub, she is voiced by Majken Bullard for Funimation.

Through it was his original home, Eneru did not show any sign of love towards it, as he destroyed it without any hesitation.

Eneru

Eneru (エネル), is the former "God" of Skypiea. Though "God" is traditionally only the title for the island's ruler, Eneru takes it literally, forcing the population to worship and serve him. Eneru ate a logia Devil Fruit called the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (ゴロゴロの実 Goro Goro no Mi), which gives him the ability to manipulate, generate, and transform into electricity. Additionally, he is able to use Mantra (マントラ Mantora), an ability that somehow allows one to predict a being's movement and to sense any conscious being's position within a certain range. Used in conjunction, these abilities extend his hearing over the entire country and allow him to immediately punish those who speak up against him. Eneru believes that he is a divine and immortal being, with the authority to do, take or destroy whatever he pleases and is capable of doing anything. As the result, he appears fearless, childish, arrogant and apathetic. His lifestyle is relaxed and hedonistic. Eneru's overly long earlobes reach down to his chest, similar to some depictions of Buddha, and like the god of thunder and lightning, Raijin, he wears a ring of drums, showing a tomoe on the drumhead, on his back. He is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Wayne Grayson for 4Kids, and by J. Michael Tatum for Funimation.

Ohm

Ohm (オーム Ōmu), nicknamed "Sky Breeder" (スカイブリーダー Sukai Burīdā), is one of the Skypiea Priests, and runs the "Ordeal of Iron" (鉄の試練 Tetsu no Shiren, "I.Q. Iron Test" in the edited dub) which has a survival rate of zero percent. Ohm is a calm and serious character whose goal in life he explains is to free people. However, by this he means killing them and freeing them from various burdens related to life.

Satori

Satori (サトリ), nicknamed Satori "of the Forest" (「森のサトリ」 Mori no Satori), is one of the Skypiea Priests, and runs the "Ordeal of Spheres" (玉の試練 Tama no Shiren, "I.Q. Orb Test" in the edited dub) which has a survival rate of ten percent. Satori is hardly ever serious. He tends to laugh a lot and toy with his enemies. However, he is very afraid of dying.

Satori also has the ability of "Mantra". He is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Jimmy Zoppi for 4Kids, and by Chris Cason for Funimation.

Gedatsu

Gedatsu (ゲダツ "Gedatz" in the edited dub), nicknamed "Sky Punk" (空パンク Sora Panku), is one of the Skypiea Priests, and runs the "Ordeal of Swamp" (沼の試練 Numa no Shiren, "I.Q. Swamp Test" in the edited dub) which has a survival rate of fifty percent. Gedatsu is one of the oddest characters in the series, as he has many strange habits, none of which he is aware of. He needs to be corrected in every single instance, whereupon he will frown and cry, "So careless!" Despite his strange habits, he is still very serious and ruthless. Gedatsu uses two "Milky Dials" strapped to each of his wrists, allowing him to create dense, swamp-like clouds, and also has two Milky Dials on each of the bottom of his shoes, allowing him to fly. "Jet Dials" are also attached to his elbows, giving him very fast and powerful punches. Gedatsu also has the ability of "Mantra". He is voiced by Masaya Takatsuka in the Japanese version.

String Test" in the edited dub) which has a survival rate of three percent. Shura is confident in his abilities, and willing to ruthlessly kill every transgressor.

He is voiced by Shinichirou Ohta in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Dan Green for 4Kids, and by Kent Williams for Funimation.

Yama

Yama (ヤマ) is the Enforcer Commander of the fifty Enforcers. Yama is fanatically loyal to Eneru, going so far as to reprimand Shura, Ohm, and Gedatsu for fighting in his presence. He displays quite an amount of brutality in battle. His ruthless fighting style shows his lack of respect for the world around him, destroying the landscape around him while in battle. He has the interesting habit of saying the sound "meh" often. Despite his massive build, Yama is very acrobatic, agile, and fast. His comparatively tiny limbs are very strong as well. Yama wields a "Ten-Fold Axe" which is a sash with ten "Axe Dials" that can severely cut up an opponent. He is voiced by Hidenari Ugaki in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Andrew Chandler for Funimation.

Shandora

Shandora (シャンディア Shandora, "Loftra" in the edited dub) actually used to be located on an island on the Blue Sea called "Jaya", until the Knockup Stream shot it and part of Jaya up to Skypiea. The Shandorians soon found themselves enemies of the Skypieans and entered their deadiest conflict in centuries for their homeland, a war they initially lost. Thanks to the Straw Hat Pirates, the Shandorians are now allies and friends with the native Skypieans.

Wyper

Wyper (ワイパー Waipā, "Wyler" in the edited dub), nicknamed "Berserker" (戦鬼 Senki), is the leader of the Shandorian warriors and a direct descendant of "Calgara". Wyper is first shown to be an extremely violent and irrational man. He does not easily trust outsiders and is quick to fight anyone without a second thought. Despite this however, Wyper has a deep love for his people and their homeland. He also has a deep respect for his ancestor's best friend, "Montblanc Noland", to whom he feels obligated to because of Noland's deeds, friendship to Calgara, and unfortunate fate. While he means well, his determination sometimes tends to blind him, causing Wiper to become more violent and push himself beyond his physical limits. Wyper wields a bazooka which he calls the "Burn Bazooka", because it has a "Flavor Dial" and a "Flame Dial" inside, which the Flavor Dial can launch exploding gas, then the Flame Dial sets alight. Wyper also has a "Reject Dial" tied to his right palm, which is ten times stronger and more life threatening than an "Impact Dial". He is voiced by Masaki Aizawa and Reiko Kiuchi (child) in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Mike Pollock for 4Kids, and by J. Paul Slavens (adult) and Leah Clark (child) for Funimation.

Kamakiri

Kamakiri (カマキリ) is one of the Shandorian warriors. Kamakiri seems to be one of Wyper's most trusted fighters, and is also good friends with Laki and Aisa, acting much kinder than the other warriors. Unlike his leader Wyper, he always retains a calm demeanor. Kamakiri's has two different weapons he uses in combat. One of Kamakiri's weapons is a spear, and the other is a "Burn Blade", which is a simple stick handle with a "Breath Dial" attached to the tip of the stick. The Dial stores flammable gas, which, when ignited, creates a flame blade. He is voiced by Keisuke in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Scott Freeman (adult) and Mary Morgan (child) for Funimation.

Laki

Laki (ラキ Raki, "Raki" in the English manga) is one of the Shandorian warriors, and cousin of Aisa. Laki is a brave, kind hearted Shandorian woman who likes to make others happy. According to Wyper however, she worries over smaller goals (such as Aisa's bag of Vearth) when she should be focused on the bigger goals (such as winning back their homeland so they would never have to fight for just one bag of Vearth ever again). Laki's weapon of choice is a rifle, however Laki does not use any Dials. She is voiced by Michie Tomizawa in the Japanese version. In the English dub, she is voiced by Lydia Mackay for Funimation.

Braham

Braham (ブラハム Burahamu) is one of the Shandorian warriors. Braham appears as a merciless warrior, even killing an Enforcer who surrendered to him. He is very confident in his skills, as he sometimes underestimates his opponents, proclaiming his superiority, and that usually leads to his defeats. Despite his overconfidence, he is almost always serious and hardly ever changes his facial expression. In battle, Braham uses dual pistols with a "Flash Dial" installed in each gun, so the opponents can not see the bullets that are fired, so he calls them "Flash Pistols". He is voiced by Kenji Nomura in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Charles Baker (adult) and Kate Oxley (child) for Funimation.

Genbo

Genbo (ゲンボウ Genbō) is one of the Shandorian warriors. Genbo is not very talkative, and tends to take fights very seriously. He also has somewhat of a short temper, and seems to have mighty attitude. Genbo's weapon of choice is a bazooka-like cannon that fires iron cannonballs (iron does not actually exist in Skypiea, therefore he must have got his weapon from the Blue Sea somehow). Genbo does not use any Dials. He is voiced by Osamu Ryoutani in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Brad Jackson (adult) and Adrian Cook (child) for Funimation.

Aisa

Aisa (アイサ) is a small, brave, Shandorian girl, and cousin of Laki, but she is not one of the Shandorian warriors. Aisa is a bit of a tomboy. She hates it when people die and will try anything to stop it, even rushing into danger without any plans for what to do. She wants to be a strong fighter like everyone else but is afraid of Wyper, though she warms up to him eventually. Even though Aisa does not have any fighting skills, she does possess the "Mantra" ability. She is voiced by Masami Suzuki in the Japanese version. In the English dub, she is voiced by Cherami Leigh for Funimation.

The Arlong Pirates

The Arlong Pirates (アーロン一味 Āron Ichimi) are an almost entirely fishman pirate crew (except for Nami, who later left) led by Captain Arlong.

The Arlong Pirates believe they are above humans. The name of their ship is "Shark Superb" (シャーク・スパーブ号 Shāku Supābu-gō)

Arlong

Captain Arlong (アーロン Āron), nicknamed "Saw-Tooth" Arlong (ノコギリのアーロン Nokogiri no Āron), is a sawshark fishman and captain of the Arlong Pirates. Arlong is a racist, considering humans to be inferior to fishmen, though there are humans he considers to be exceptions. He values money very highly and is proud of the fact that he would rather die than to break a promise involving money. However, he proves willing to subvert the spirit of a promise so long as he follows its letter. Arlong is also rather easy to anger and goes berserk. Because Arlong is a fishman, he possesses amazing physical strength, and can breathe on land and underwater. His powerful shark-like jaws are capable of rending metal, stone, and flesh alike and have rapidly re-growing teeth. Arlong also uses a kiribachi as his weapon of choice. Arlong's last bounty was 20,000,000 Berries before he and his crew were captured by the marines. He is voiced by Jūrōta Kosugi in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Wills for 4Kids, and by Chris Rager for Funimation.

When Momoo encounters Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku, he is promptly beaten. Later, during the battle at Arlong Park, he was called upon to fight The Straw Hat Pirates, but was easily defeated by Luffy. In the English dub, he is voiced by Cris George for Funimation.

Kuroobi

Kuroobi (クロオビ Kuroobi) is a manta ray fishman and a member of the Arlong Pirates. Kuroobi is one of the strictest members in his crew and has always been wary of Nami's supposed allegiance to Arlong. Kuroobi uses "Fishman Karate" ("Merman Karate" in the 4Kids dub) to fight his opponents. He is a level 40 practitioner of this martial art, causing great injury to Sanji in their battle, especially underwater. As a fishman, Kuroobi has an advantage underwater, he can breath both on land and underwater. Kuroobi also has incredible physical strength. He is voiced by Hisao Egawa in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Sean Schemmel for 4Kids, and by Patrick Seitz for Funimation.

Choo

Choo (チュウ Chū) is an archerfish fishman and the sniper of the Arlong Pirates. Like the rest of the crew, he looks down on humans, seeing them as inferior. Choo, Hachi, and Kuroobi took down Commodore Purinpurin of the marines and his men with ease, Choo taking Purinpurin down personally. He can spit water out of his mouth as if it were a bullet. Choo, like all fishmen, has immense physical strength, and can breath on land and underwater. He is voiced by Masaya Onosaka in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Tom Wayland for 4Kids, and by Jay Hickman for Funimation.

The Bellamy Pirates

Captain Bellamy (ベラミー Beramī), nicknamed Bellamy the "Hyena" (ハイエナのベラミー Haiena no Beramī) and "Big Time Rookie" (大型新人 Ōgata Shinjin), is named after the real pirate Samuel Bellamy, and deceased captain of the Bellamy Pirates. Like the rest of his crew, Bellamy strongly believed in the coming of the New Era. Bellamy was cruel, violent, and vain. He was very arrogant and highly confident in his own powers. He loved to have an audience to witness his feats. Bellamy was ruthless, as he killed people over unimportant matters. Also, he seemed to laugh at other people's misfortune. Bellamy ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Spring-Spring Fruit (バネバネの実 Bane Bane no Mi, "Boing-Boing Fruit" in the English manga) that allowed him to turn his legs into springs to bounce off surfaces to gain extraordinary heights and velocity for his attacks. Bellamy was presumably killed by Don Quixote Doflamingo after Doflamingo was disgusted by Bellamy's defeat from Luffy. Bellamy's last bounty was 55,000,000 Berries before he was killed.

Sarquiss, like the rest of the crew, strongly believes in the coming of the New Era, and laughs at anyone who mentions their dreams. He also falsely believes that a bounty serves as a rating of a person's fighting level, making him believe that he is a more powerful fighter than he truly is. He is also very stubborn. Sarquiss is a decent fighter who fights using a kukri dagger. Sarquiss's current bounty is 38,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Yuji Ueda in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Wills for 4Kids, and by Duncan Brannan for Funimation.

Kuro

Captain Kuro (クロ), nicknamed Kuro the "Thousand Plans" (百計のクロ Hyakkei no Kuro), is the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, and known for his elaborate plans who desires to leave behind his identity and to escape the pirates' lifestyle of always being on the run. He does this by becoming butler to Kaya, Usopp's childhood friend. He considers his crew as nothing but pawns to carry out his plans and, if he so pleases, to die for him. In general, Kuro is a genius of the highest caliber whose plans have never failed in the past. Kuro fights using a pair of gloves, equipped with very long straight, single edged blades. Wearing these, he adopted his signature habit of adjusting his constantly slipping glasses by using only the palm of his hand to avoid cutting his face. Anime News Network praised the character as being "both unspeakably cool and utterly vile". Kuro's former bounty was 16,000,000 Berries before the marines thought he was dead. He is voiced by Kōichi Hashimoto in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Gary Mack for 4Kids, and by Kent Williams for Funimation.

Siam

Siam (シャム Shamu) along with his fellow pirate and brother, Butchie, are two members and the lookouts of the Black Cat Pirates. They are also known as the "Meowban Brothers". Siam has a sneaky and devious mind. He proves this by pretending to be weak and lack confidence in his abilities, and scared of his opponents in order to have their guard down. He is also a very vicious fighter using a pair of gloves with very sharp claws. Between Siam and Butchie, Siam is the faster one, and usually distracts opponents from Butchie. He is voiced by Masaya Onosaka in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Eric Stuart for 4Kids, and by Todd Haberkorn for Funimation.

Butchie

Between Siam and Butchie, Butchie is the powerhouse, and usually the one that goes in for the kill. He is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Jimmy Zoppi for 4Kids, and by Chris Rager for Funimation.

The Krieg Pirates

Their crew was wiped out by Dracule Mihawk, leaving their main remaining that managed to escape back to the East Blue. The name of their main ship is "Dreadnaught Sabre" (ドレッドノート・サーベル号 Doreddonōto Sāberu-gō).

Krieg does not care for his crew and bullies them to fear and obey him. He punishes those who fail him and those who show weakness. He is very proud of his rank as captain and gets very mad when someone defies him, or even hesitates about his ideas. Krieg wears a gilded suit of steel armor that is filled with hidden weapons, such as guns, bombs, etc. Krieg also uses a weapon called the "Mighty Battle Spear", that not only is a spear, but can release explosions and still stay intact. Krieg's current bounty is 17,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Marc Thompson for 4Kids, and by Andy Mullins for Funimation.

Oda chose the name Krieg, which means "war" in German, because the "Baratie arc's" main theme was battle, making the name easy to remember.

Ghin

Ghin (ギン Gin, "Gin" in the English manga), nicknamed "Cold-Hearted Demon" (鬼人のギン Kijin no Gin, "Diablo" in the 4Kids dub), is the first mate of the Krieg Pirates. Ghin is fiercely loyal to Krieg, carrying out whatever orders he may be given from him no matter how inhumanly brutal or ruthless without protest or hesitation. However, unlike Krieg, Ghin has some sense of honor inside him. Ghin's weapon of choice are dual tonfas that are modified on the tip to have heavy balls to deliver more impact. He is voiced by Kenichi Ono in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Illich Guardiola for Funimation.

Pearl

Pearl (パール Pāru), nicknamed Invincible Shield (鉄壁 Teppeki), is the second mate of the Krieg Pirates. Pearl appeared to be somewhat cocky, claiming to have never lost a drop of blood in battle, calling himself "dandy". However, if he sees even a drop of his own blood, he goes into a panicked frenzy. Pearl is clad in circular iron plates serving as his armor. The ones on his limbs are used for bashing and crushing. Pearl can also cause friction to ignite his body with an intense layer of blue fire. He is voiced by Kawamoto Hiroyuki in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Dan Green for 4Kids, and by J. Michael Tatum for Funimation.

Before Wapol's ascension to power, Drum Kingdom possessed the most numerous and skilled doctors in all of the Grand Line. Wapol ate a paramecia Devil Fruit called the Munch-Munch Fruit (バクバクの実 Baku Baku no Mi), which grants him the ability to eat virtually anything and to take on its properties.

Merchandise

Several types of merchandise have been produced based on the likeness of the characters in the One Piece series, such as cushions, clothing, towels, key chains, and clocks, as well as several lines of figurines, action figures and plush dolls, including crossovers with other series. Many characters are also featured on trading cards from the One Piece Collectible Card Game and other products ranging from calendars to bath salts.

Reception

Allen Divers of Anime News Network comments that the male character designs of the One Piece manga are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". They further note that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development", but they also point out that the series is driven by its battles in which the main characters each take their "turn in the spotlight". Todd Douglass, Jr. of DVD talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of charm.

In a review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, Carl Kimlinger of ANN describes the visual style of One Piece as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way." In the same review, Kimlinger notes that "Funimation's English dub is light-years better than the 4Kids debacle", "unusually accurate, professional, and largely enjoyable, which is far, far more than can be said of the previous dub", but notes that Funimation's version of "Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma" and that "the original's fine dance on the edge of mawkish sentimentality is disrupted often enough by less-than-stellar acting". They also state that "Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy is more a generic spunky kid than a personality in his own right, really coming to life only during the action scenes during which she does a fine job of being darned cool."

In another review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".

In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, Todd Douglass, Jr. notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad", which "vary from cool and collected to rampaging psychopaths" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime. In the same review, Douglass said that "Some of the voices were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech."

Brigitte Schönhense of Splashcomics comments that the "brilliant" (German: "genial") flashbacks into the characters' pasts make them so "likeable and lovable" (German: "sympathisch und liebenswert") and that they are the manga's real strength.

Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine comments that Oda's characters are "whacky" and that his "bizarre" character designs create "wonderful characterizations and personalities". He notes the "well illustrated" facial expressions and says that "it's the whacky characterizations and designs that makes One Piece its own".

In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that "One Piece's bizarre character designs will keep your attention as they can be very random and often memorable. Not the prettiest, but it will definitely capture your attention."
