List of One Piece characters

The One Piece manga 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 abilities. The majority of the characters are human, but the cast also includes dwarfs, giants, mermen and mermaids, fish-men, sky people, and minks, and many others. Many of the characters possess abilities gained by eating "Devil Fruits". The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of pirates as they search for the mythical "One Piece" treasure.
Monkey D. Luffy is the series' main protagonist, a young pirate who wishes to succeed Gold Roger, the deceased King of the Pirates, by finding his treasure, the "One Piece". Throughout the series, Luffy gathers himself a diverse crew named the Straw Hat Pirates, including: the three-sword-wielding combatant Roronoa Zoro (sometimes referred to as Roronoa Zolo in the English manga); the thief and navigator Nami; the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp; the amorous cook and martial artist Sanji; the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper; the archaeologist Nico Robin; the cyborg shipwright Franky; the living skeleton musician Brook; and the fish-man helmsman Jimbei.

The Sun Pirates (タイヨウの海賊団, Taiyō no Kaizokudan) are a band of pirates consisting of fish-men and mermen that was originally led by Fisher Tiger and later by Jimbei They attack any pirate ship they see, but no matter who is on it, they never kill directly. Their Sun insignia was created to cover up the mark of the Celestial Dragon's slave, "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon", since Tiger Fisher bore the mark from being a slave. But he had escaped the World Nobles and during his escape he freed other mermen/fish-men and Boa Hancock and her two sisters. With the Sun insignia, the World Government was unable to claim the slaves due to mass confusion over whether they were Sun Pirates or not. The members of the Arlong Pirates and Macro Pirates were also part of the crew, until the group eventually disbands when Jimbei joins the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He also has a habit of reading tarot cards to find out what is going to happen and the percentage probability that what he predicts will happen.
After the two year timeskip, he tried to form an alliance with Scratchmen Apoo and Eustass Kid. After Kaido appeared in front of them, he ended up joining the Animal Kingdom Pirates as Kaido's subordinate, betraying Kid along with Apoo, and becoming one of the crew's Shinuchi.

After trying to form an alliance with Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, he ended up being betrayed by them and captured by Kaido, having to later ally himself with Luffy and Law in their plan to defeat him. After Chapter 1079, his status is currently unknown.

After the Paramount War, she and her crew were defeated and captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, and she was subsequently arrested by the Navy fleet led by Sakazuki.

There he met Corazon, the brother of Doflamingo, and together they went on an adventure to find a cure for Law. Ultimately they found the Devil Fruit, but before they escaped, Corazon was killed by Doflamingo, leaving Law to seek out revenge. Law makes a name for himself and following the Paramount War, Law joins the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

X. Drake is voiced by Eiji Takemoto in the original Japanese version and by D. C. Douglas in the Funimation dub.
The most powerful pirates in the New World are referred to as the Four Emperors (四皇, Yonkō). Initially the group consists of Shanks, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, forming a precarious balance of power with The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy Headquarters that keeps the world at peace until Blackbeard's capture of Ace. This leads to a war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the World Government, and results in Whitebeard's death. Two years later, Blackbeard is considered to have assumed Whitebeard's position. Following the events of the Onigashima war, where Big Mom and Kaido were defeated, Monkey D. Luffy and Buggy were considered the new members to replace them.
The Animal Kingdom Pirates (百獣海賊団, Hyakujū Kaizokudan, Beasts Pirates) are the crew led by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. Most members possess powers of the SMILE Devil Fruits created by Caesar Clown, being able to obtain the abilities of a specific animal, but having only partially a part of the animal, such as the legs, ears, or the head, protruding from any limb of the body, like the head of an animal on the stomach or in the hand, wings in the head or the butt, and the legs being replaced with the actual animal where the user's torso is sticking out of their back.

Supreme Commander (総督, Sōtoku, Governor-General) of the Animal Kingdom Pirates, a former member of the Four Emperors, and also a former member of the Rocks Pirates as an apprentince. Kaido consumed the Fish-Fish Fruit: Azure Dragon Model which enables him to transform into an Azure Dragon or an Azure Dragon-human hybrid. Kaido's a believer in might makes right and has subjugated several pirates by breaking their wills. He's rather unstable and prone to changing his mind as he both wants a death as glorious as Whitebeard, but also wants a worthy enemy as he has spent a long time without any opponent that matched his power, along with often shifting from open cruelty and mocking to respect towards his adversaries. Kaido was on the verge of being executed several times and has a fondness for attempting suicide as a hobby, but he always ends up unscathed due to his great resilience, being known in the world as "The Strongest Creature" (最強の生物, Saikyō no Seibutsu). At one point, Kaido and King were held on Punk Hazard. Previously, he faced Kozuki Oden, who was the only person capable of deeply injuring him, leaving Kaido with a massive and permanent scar on his chest after nearly killing him. He was allied for years with Kurozumi Orochi to rule the Wano Country together upon disposing of Kozuki Oden, until Kaido betrayed him and announced his daughter Yamato would be the country's new shogun which she vehemently opposed. Kaido had the highest active bounty of any current pirate, a bounty of 4,611,100,000. Kaido is also capable of using the advanced application for all types of Haki. After a long grueling fight with Luffy and his allies, Kaido was defeated by Luffy, the second coming of Joyboy that was predicted to defeat him, where he and Big Mom fell into a volcanic chamber prior to its eruption. It is unknown if they survived or not.
Kaido is voiced by Tesshō Genda in the original Japanese version and by David Sobolov in the Funimation dub.
The three men who act as Kaido's right hand are the Lead Performers (大看板, Ōkanban, All-Stars), the crew's executive officers, also known as the Disasters/Calamities. The group consists of:
The Tobi Roppo (飛び六胞, Tobi Roppō) are the six elite Shinuchi and the crew's first grade officers who serve directly under the Lead Performers. Like the Lead Performers, the members can transform into ancient creatures through their Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits. The group consists of:

There are also some ninjas and samurai who serve the Animal Kingdom Pirates following the apparent death of Kurozumi Orochi. The ninjas in question made up a group called the Orochi Oniwabanshu when they worked for Orochi while the samurai in question made up a group called the Mimawarigumi (the name of Wano's samurai police force). Most of them were shown to be terrified by Brook's spirit form as they thought he was a Gashadokuro.
Other members of the crew include:
The Blackbeard Pirates (黒ひげ海賊団, Kurohige Kaizokudan) are a powerful pirate crew led by Blackbeard. While originally having five members, the Blackbeard Pirates' membership was later expanded with a number of prisoners from Impel Down and Aokiji himself.

As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he killed his crewmate Thatch to get hold of the Devil Fruit he has sought for several decades, the Dark-Dark Fruit (ヤミヤミの実, Yami Yami no Mi). It grants him the ability to create and control black holes, which are represented as flowing darkness, as well as the ability to disable the Devil Fruit powers of others, as long as he is touching the person.
For betraying Whitebeard's crew and the murder of his crewmate, he is pursued by Ace who eventually confronts him. After defeating Ace and turning him in to the World Government, he is appointed Crocodile's replacement as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a position he promptly abuses to expand his crew with prisoners from Impel Down and resigns once he is finished.
After killing Whitebeard with the help of his new crew, Blackbeard somehow adds his former captain's Devil Fruit ability to his own and manages to take Whitebeard's place as one of the Four Emperors.

In her childhood, she was abandoned by her parents for being too big and was raised by Mother Carmel (マザー・カルメル, Mazā Karumeru), a nun who inspired her to create a kingdom and a family in which all the races of the world live together. At some point, Big Mom earned the ire of the giants after her eating disorder for semla during a fast before the Winter Solstice led to her rampage throughout Elbaph which injured many giants. She has repeatedly tried to reconcile with the giants, but to no avail. It is because of this that she has been unable to get some giants to live in her established archipelago Totto Land where all races would co-exist with each other. Big Mom even contacted Caesar Clown to make her some artificial giants.
Her children have ranged from twenty-two single children, eleven sets of twin children, six sets of triplet children, two sets of quadruplet children, one set of quintuplet children, and one set of decuplet children. None of her children are safe from her wrath. Her daughter Charlotte Praline is a member of the Sun Pirates while Charlotte Chiffon is a member of the Firetank Pirates.

Buggy's Band of Pirates (バギー海賊団, Bagī Kaizokudan) is a circus-themed group of pirates led by Buggy the Clown, one of the Seven Warlords after the 2-year timeskip. Following Buggy's escape from Impel Down, the Buggy Pirates are joined by some of his fellow escapees. With the collapse of the Warlords system, all former Warlords become wanted once again, but when the Marine attack on Buggy commences, by pure coincidence, Sir Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk arrive, making the Marines and Buggy's crew think the two other ex-Warlords are in Buggy's command. Crocodile and Mihawk ultimately agree to let Buggy take the public face of their new organization, Cross Guild (クロス・ギルド, Kurosu Girudo), as its president and figurehead while the other two are the actual heads. Cross Guild has quickly become so powerful, they now offer their own bounties against the Marines.
Buggy (バギー, Bagī) is a pirate with a preference for fighting with knives, a love of cannons, and a prominent red nose. While a junior member of the Roger Pirates, he gets hold of a devil fruit and a treasure map, intending to sell the fruit and search for the treasure, but Shanks accidentally causes him to swallow the fruit and drop the map into the sea, earning Buggy's resentment. Having consumed the Paramecia-type Chop-Chop Fruit (バラバラの実, Bara Bara no Mi), Buggy can separate his body into levitating parts and control them independently as long as they remain close, and at least one of his feet is on the ground. This ability also makes him immune to cutting attacks which will only separate him into parts. Following the Roger Pirates' dissolution, Buggy becomes captain of the Buggy Pirates and achieves limited notoriety as "Buggy the Clown" (道化のバギー, Dōke no Bagī). Eventually his involvement in the first mass breakout of Impel Down, and the Paramount War, earns him a sizable following of escapees and worldwide infamy as "The Genius Jester" (千両道化, Senryō Dōke), and a seat among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
In the anime series, his voice actor is Shigeru Chiba. In the 4Kids dub, he is voiced by David Wills. In the Funimation dub, his voice is supplied by Mike McFarland.
Oda said that Buggy is his favorite antagonist, because of all of them he is the easiest to draw. Buggy has received much praise and criticism. Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network said that Luffy's fight with Buggy "sets the series' precedent for battles that are simultaneously tense and hilarious". Jacob Hope Chapman of the same site said that seeing Buggy during the Jaya Arc was "entertaining". Bryce Coulter of Mania Entertainment praised Chibi Buggy's Adventure as one of the best arcs, and Buggy for his "slap-stick humour" and "Voltron-esque combining sequence". He was "disappointed" that Buggy, Smoker, and the Strawhats did not have a conflict at sea. On Luffy and Buggy's alliance in Impel Down, Chris Beveridge said, "the two do make an amusing pairing as their flight through the first level goes on". He went on to say, "he never really cared for Buggy", but the Impel Down arc turned him into an "engaging character". He said that he believes that Buggy is being set up as a regular character because he was "afraid he might lose him". Pedro Cortes of Japanator said, "Buggy is always good for a laugh, so his bit was a welcomed respite from the oppressive marines beating down Luffy and the Whitebeard pirates."
"Sir" Crocodile (サー・クロコダイル, Sā Kurokodairu), is a pirate with the ability of the Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit (スナスナの実, Suna Suna no Mi), allowing him to generate and control sand, absorb moisture with his right hand, and, as long as he is not wet, turn his body into sand. He wears a large golden alloy hook in place of a left hand, which contains a potent poison and a dagger underneath. Initially a member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea, his title is revoked by Tashigi when it is discovered that he, under the code name of "Mr. 0" (ミスター・ゼロ, Misutā Zero), head the criminal organization known as Baroque Works as president, attempted a coup of Alabasta. He was subsequently arrested after he was defeated by Luffy.
Sometime after the mass-prison break at Impel Down, Crocodile later found the Cross Guild along with Mihawk and becomes one of its chief officers.
In the original Japanese series, he is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo. In the 4Kids adaptation, Crocodile is voiced by David Brimmer. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by John Swasey.
Crocodile is played by Joe Manganiello in the live-action adaptation of One Piece.
Dracule Mihawk (ジュラキュール・ミホーク, Jurakyūru Mihōku), also called "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk (鷹の目のミホーク, Taka no Me no Mihōku), is a pirate who is one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea and the strongest swordsman in the One Piece universe. His primary weapon is a Grosse Messer that Mihawk calls Yoru. He also often carries around a dagger that he conceals in a crucifix pendant. His personal ship is called the Hitsugibune, an all-black boat that resembles a coffin and has candles lit on the edges that burn with green fire. The Hitsugibune's mast is notable for the fact that it is shaped like Yoru.
Physically, in the manga, anime, and live action, Mihawk is a tall man with pale skin and black hair (generally has distinctive side burns and a beard), a muscular build, and a generally deadpan expression. His most distinctive physical trait are his yellow-and-black eyes, which are the source of his nickname "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk. Mihawk commonly wears a white shirt and a black coat and hat with red as a secondary coloring.
Mihawk is a loner and solitary in his nature. He has a deadpan and reserved demeanor that fully matches his general expression. Unlike many pirates in the world of One Piece, Mihawk does not have a crew and usually travels and lives alone. Mihawk is very self-confident in his abilities and his status as the world's greatest swordsman, but he is always eager to test his abilities against new opponents and has an equal level of appreciation for the skills and work ethics of others for his own and is not arrogant. For example, Mihawk is one of the few people to actually respect Luffy's abilities and ambitions and sees him as a capable and brave warrior instead of a foolhardy boy/young man many of Luffy's enemies mistakenly believe him to be.
Due to his dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, Zoro aims to one day defeat Mihawk in a duel. Zoro first challenged Mihawk to a duel to the death when the latter was hunting the pirate captain Don Krieg at Baratie and lost, though Mihawk deemed that despite not being a worthy opponent for him at that point, Zoro would be able to grow into a worthy competitor given the time and allowed him to live. Mihawk even trained Zoro during the series' two year time jump due to a combination of reasons: he was humored by the concept of training a man who sought to one day kill him and take his title and he respected Zoro's dedication to his craft and his skill and for putting aside his pride so that he could help Luffy and his friends by continuing to hone his skills as a combatant. After the Warlord system is abolished Mihawk created the Cross Guild with Crocodile which he still operates at the present time in the show.

Roger and notably served as an apprentice with fellow pirate Buggy the Clown. As an adult Shanks formed his own crew of pirates called the Red-Haired Pirates which were named after his distinctive crimson-colored hair. He is a mentor and hero to Luffy, having known Luffy since the latter was a young child. When Luffy was seven, Shanks saved his life from a sea serpent-type Sea King which cost Shanks his left arm and caused that Sea King to become frightened of him. When the Red Haired Pirates left Luffy's hometown of Foosha Village Shanks gave the boy his straw hat that had in turn been passed down to him from Gol D. Roger and instructed Luffy to return the hat to him when he had become a great pirate. Shanks eventually becomes one of the Four Pirate Emperors. Shanks currently has a bounty of 4,048,900,000.
Shanks is one of the most powerful characters in the series. While Shanks' combat feats are more limited in comparison to other characters in One Piece, he has been shown and stated to be quite a dangerous combatant, with him defeating effortlessly characters like Eustass Kid, Admiral Akainu and Blackbeard flat-out refusing to face him, and him being a rival to Dracule Mihawk in their youths.

Notably, Shanks used Conqueror's Haki during Wano to make Marine Admiral Greenbull feel immense pain and retreat from battle despite Shanks being miles away from Greenbull's location. He has used Armament Haki to make his sword easily withstand a blow from Admiral Akainu, who has magma manipulation abilities and is capable of punching someone with fists of pure magma. He has used Observation Haki to both pinpoint the location from an opponent from miles away numerous times, notably in Wano and Elbaph, and has minor precognitive abilities through the usage of his Observation Haki. Shanks also possesses limited pyrokinetic abilities as he is capable of setting the blade of his sword Gryphon alight with fire and using it to fight his enemies.

Eight centuries after its foundation by a group of twenty kings known as the First 20 (最初の20人, Sekai Seifu), their descendants, the Celestial Dragons, live luxurious lives and abuse their power. The World Government is portrayed in the series as a corrupt, oppressive entity if not an outright authoritarian oligarchy, specifically its implementation of Absolute Justice (絶対的正義, Zettai-Teki Seigi), its censorship and suppression of academia and history like the 100-Year Void (空白の100年, Kūhaku no Hyaku-nen, Void Century) and the Bloodline Elements (血統因子, Kettō Inshi, Lineage Factor) for example, the depravity and cruelty of the aforementioned Celestial Dragons and their abuse of power, and its fabrication of the Empty Throne (虚の玉座, Kara no Gyokuza) which is said that not a single person from any of the nineteen families of Celestial Dragons can rule the world. Its capital is the holy land of Marijoa (マリージョア, Marījoa, Mary Geoise) where its headquarters is Pangaea Castle (パンゲア城, Pangea-jō), the top leaders of the Government such as Imu, the Five Elders, the Holy Knights' highest-ranking officers like their supreme commander Garling, and the commander-in-chief Kong reside and govern, is the jurisdiction of the aforementioned Holy Knights, is the home of the Celestial Dragons, and the royals of nations that are members of the Government assemble in Pangaea Castle to host the Reverie (世界会議, Reverī, Levely).

They and the rest of the World Government even pay no mind to the atrocities against countries affiliated with them committed by two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile and Donflamingo. While they are publicly the heads of the World Government, in reality, however, the only person they secretly answer to is Imu with extreme loyalty.

"Red Dog"), is a ruthless naval officer with the ability of the Logia-type Mag-Mag Fruit (マグマグの実, Magu Magu no Mi), which allows him to control, create, or transform into magma. Akainu is a firm believer in "Absolute Justice," going as far as eliminating an entire population should an enemy be hidden there. This was first shown when The Navy eradicated Nico Robin's island of Ohara. Akainu destroyed a refugee evacuation ship simply due to the possibility of even one scholar sneaking on board; his logic was that if even one of the scholars of Ohara had escaped with it, the mission would've been a failure, much to the dismay of Aokiji, who called him a fool for overdoing things. After Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji. His appearance is modeled after Bunta Sugawara.
He is voiced at first by Michio Nakao in the earlier parts of the original Japanese version and later by Fumihiko Tachiki in the later parts of the original Japanese version. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Andrew Love.

Although retired from active duty, Sengoku continues to serve in the navy as an inspector general. Two years after the war, he is shown to have mellowed rather considerably due to his lack of responsibilities. It is also revealed that he previously cared for the young Donquixote Rosinante after his brother Donquixote Doflamingo murdered their father, Donquixote Homing. He came to care for Rosinante like a son and was devastated by his death while he was working undercover as a member of the Donquixote Pirates. After Doflamingo's defeat by Luffy, Sengoku learns the truth about the circumstances of Rosinante's death from Trafalgar Law who Rosinante had given his life to protect. Although Law is a pirate, Sengoku allows him to escape because of his connection to Rosinante.

He has the ability to control gravity through the powers of the Press-Press Fruit, being able to make the environment heavier or lighter. He is blind, so he uses Color of Observation Haki to feel what is around him.
He wanted to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which is why in Dressrosa he had a conflict against Donquixote Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law, where he later had to team up with the latter and the Straw Hat Pirates to stop Doflamingo's corruption. Despite the fact that the next day he had orders to arrest Luffy, his vision of justice forced him to help him escape. Fujitora's character appearance is modeled after Shintaro Katsu.
In the original Japanese version of the anime, he is voiced by Ikuya Sawaki. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Charles C. Campbell.
Aramaki (アラマキ), better known as Admiral Ryokugyū (緑牛, lit. "Green Bull"), is the second of the two admirals appointed to their rank during the two-year timeskip, next to Fujitora. He ate the Forest-Forest Fruit, a Devil Fruit power that allows him to generate, control, or become plant life like a forest, trees, and flowers, as well as manipulation of all plant life , whether on a small or massive scale, with vegetation growing wherever he treads. Inter alia, Ryokugyu can summon roots to impale people and objects and then drain them of their moisture and nutrients, which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way. While easygoing much like former Admiral Aokiji, Ryokugyu appears to be a supporter of Akainu's brand of Absolute Justice, but he is more prone to destroying those who do not side with his brand of "justice", especially when it comes to the World Government authority, unlike Sakazuki . So, thus he is venturing to Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval. Ryokugyu's appearance seems modeled after Japanese actor Yoshio Harada.

Befuddled by these events, Smoker followed Luffy to the Grand Line and became obsessed with capturing him, to a near stalker like level, which only intensifies upon discovering Luffy is Dragon's son during the Paramount War.

Later, they discover that Momonosuke is actually the son of Kozuki Oden, and part of the royal family of Wano, and Kin'emon is actually his father's retainer.
Kozuki Oden (光月おでん, Kōzuki Oden), in addition to having been the daimyo of Kuri and son of the country's former shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, was also a legendary, immensely powerful, and skilled Swordsman and Samurai who developed his own variation of Nitoryu. Oden was specialized in the style of two swords, just like the legendary Samurai Miyamoto Musashi, and his legendary dual wielding swordsmanship allowed him to give the Mythical Zoan enhanced nigh-indestructible Kaido, a massive and deep permanent scar.
Additionally, he was the leader of a group of legendary and powerful samurai known as the Nine Red Scabbards, with all of them serving as his retainers and most trusted allies. As daimyo of Kuri, Oden had a large amount of power and influence over the region before his death. Oden became a famous pirate for several years by joining the Whitebeard Pirates, and later on the Roger Pirates. Oden was regarded as being a tremendously powerful pirate with a great level of influence in both crews.
In life, Oden is one of the strongest characters in the One Piece world. He was capable of utilizing all three types of Haki, including the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki, has the ability to hear the "Voice of All Things" (Like Roger), and wields two legendary swords: Ame no Habakiri, the sword said to be able to cut "heaven" itself, and Enma, the sword said to be able to cut to the "bottom of hell". With those in hand, he is able to clash with the likes of Whitebeard and Kaido. Due to his fearsome strength and affiliation with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, Oden received a bounty (the amount of which is unknown). When he was defeated by Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi took over Wano Country with Kaido's help and they sentenced Oden to be boiled alive. After he spared his retainers from his fate, Oden was shot in the head by Kaido and died smiling.
In the anime series, Oden is voiced by Hiroya Ishimaru in the Japanese version and by Robbie Daymond in the Crunchyroll dub.
The Kozuki Family (光月家, Kōzuki-ke) was originally the ruling family of Wano Country until the Kurozumi Family overthrew them with help from Kaido. Following the defeats of Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido, and Big Mon, the Kozuki Family regained their rule over Wano Country.

Kozuki Oden has different retainers. They together form the group known as the "Akazaya Nine" (赤鞘九人男, Akazaya Kunin Otoko, lit. "Nine Red Scabbards"), a group of powerful samurai who serve Oden and the Kozuki family. Among these retainers are:
The Kurozumi Family (黒炭家, Kurozumi-ke) are one of the six ruling families of Wano Country. After falling out of power following a failed coup, they allied with Kaido who helped procure their shogunate.
Wano Country was under the control of Kurozumi Orochi (黒炭オロチ, Kurozumi Orochi), the head of the Kurozumi family, who has the ability to become a Yamata no Orochi or a Yamata no Orochi-human hybrid thanks to the powers of the Snake-Snake Fruit: Model Yamata no Orochi. Orochi was a tyrant who did not care about the country or its citizens, as he turned the country into a wasteland and oppressed the citizens for twenty years to the point where he fed some starving villagers some dud SMILE Fruits. He was later betrayed by Kaido to further his goals. He survived Kaido's attack and was later killed by Denjiro, a member of the Nine Red Scabbards. After the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, the tyranny in Wano finally ended and Momonosuke became the rightful Shogun of Wano.

Ace and allies with the Straw Hat Pirates against the forces of Kaido and Big Mom. Having eaten the Millet-Millet Fruit, Tama can produce dango from her cheeks which have the power to control animals and anyone who has eaten the SMILE fruits for about a month. This ability came in handy when it came to fighting the Animal Kingdom Pirates. Following the death of Kurozumi Orochi and the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, Tama is the only survivor of the Kurozumi family. She later tells Monkey D. Luffy that she will join up with the Straw Hat Pirates when she has become a better kunoichi.

Yamato idolizes Oden and aims to follow Oden's dream of leaving the country, to the point of acting like she was literally Oden, like saying Momonosuke (Oden's son) is her son. Yamato is later revealed to have the powers of the Dog-Dog Fruit: Model Okuchi no Makami which enables her to become an Okuchi no Makami (a fictional Japanese wolf deity) or an Okuchi no Makami-human hybrid which can produce cold and ice attacks.

Dr. Vegapunk (ベガパンク, Begapanku) is a scientist who is immersed in his work. While originally the director of MADS (which also consisted of Buckingham Stussy, Caesar Clown, Queen, and Vinsmoke Judge) before the group was arrested, Vegapunk was brought into the Marines as its head scientist.

At some point in the past, he had an encounter with Professor Claíomh D. Clover and learned about the people who had D in their name. Four years later, Vegapunk was saddened when Clover was killed in the desctruction of Ohana.
Dr. Vegapunk did not show up in person until the Egghead Arc when the Straw Hat Pirates found him on the winter island of Egghead. He was a target of Bonney because of the cyborg experiments that the World Government had him conduct on her father Bartholomew Kuma as she wants him to reverse what was done to him. It was Dr. Vegapunk who revealed the true name of Luffy's Devil Fruit known as the Human-Human Fruit: Model Nika since the books he has on every known Devil Fruit doesn't list the Gum-Gum Fruit.
Vegapunk originally had an enlarged head the size of a giant as a side effect of eating the Brain-Brain Fruit which enabled him to absorb and store a lot of information that he has learned. He would later split his brain and place them into his Punk Records. Vegapunk later created some satellites who assist in his research like the Seraphim Project.
When the Navy raided Egghead and started to do a Buster Call, Vegapunk was badly wounded by St. Jaygarcia Saturn and Kizaru. It was noted that Vegapunk's brain in the Punk Records would still live on if Vegapunk died. As a side effect of Dr. Vegapunk flat-lining, a special Den Den Mushi went off and broadcast Dr. Vegapunk's information to the rest of the world regarding Joy Boy, the land masses originally being bigger, and to prepare themselves for when the world gets worse.

Stussy also posed and operated as an emperor of the Underworld under the nickname of the "Queen of the Pleasure District" (歓楽街の女王, Kanraku-gai no Joō).

When CP0 infiltrated Egghead, they took control of the Seraphim to target their creator and his satellites. Though York later took over them after capturing Vegapunk and the CP0 agents.
Emet (エメト, Emeto) the Iron Giant (鉄の巨人, Tetsu no Kyojin) is a legendary gigantic robot that was created 900 years ago before running out of power and being rendered inert on Egghead.

The highest level is classified as the "Astral World". Travel to either of the levels requires the use of an artificial rainbow done by a tool called a Painter (also called a Sunstone). There is a narration by known explorer Louis Arnote mentioning about his visit to Elbaph and advises anyone who goes there not to linger in Elbaph under any circumstances.
Besides the Giant Warrior Pirates, the New Giant Warrior Pirates, and John Giant, the following reside in Elbaph.
Harald (ハラルド, Hararudo) is the former King of Elbaph and the father of Loki and Hajrudin. He was larger than the other giants due to having the blood of the ancient giants in him. Harald fathered Hajrudin with a giant that wasn't native to Elbaph and fathered Loki with a giant that was native to Elbaph.
At one point, Harald commissioned Jaguar D. Saul to build the Walrus School for Elbaph's children.
As he had predicted, Harald was later killed by Loki who wanted the Devil Fruit that is passed down to his bloodline. With Loki ending up imprisoned and Hajrudin not being considered an official prince, Elbaph was left without a ruler.
Loki (ロキ, Roki) is a very large giant who is the son of King Harald, the Prince of Elbaph, and the half-brother of Hajrudin.
At one point in his life, Loki was to have an arranged marriage with Charlotte Lola. When Charlotte Lola had fled, Big Mom tried to use Charlotte Chiffon as a substitute which only made things worse between Big Mom and the giants.
Luffy finds him chained up in Elbaph's Underworld with chains made from Seastones after he had killed his father King Harald, stolen a legendary Devil Fruit, and was taken down by Shanks and the full force of Elbaph's military, earning him the title of "Accursed Prince". After Luffy introduces himself at his suggestion, Loki introduces himself and claims that he is the "Sun God" that will end the world. Loki would later be visited by Figarland Shamrock and Gunko of the Holy Knights who offer him freedom in exchange for joining up with them. No matter what they did, Loki still declined. Loki managed to get the information on how Shamrock is related to Shanks. Despite Shamrock revealing his sword's Devil Fruit ability, Loki states that he and Shanks have earned his ire. Despite being blinded, Loki trembled at the presence of Cerberus as Shamrock and Gunko plan to obtain Elbaph's children to use as leverage against the giants while having another Holy Knight show up to help them. Thanks to the obtainment of the keys to Loki's seastone chains, Zoro unlocked some of the chains despite the New Giant Warrior Pirates and Sanji trying to stop it from happening. Hadrujin claims that Loki wasn't even honest while growing up as Loki regain consciousness and grabs his war hammer Ragnir as Hadrujin begs him drop Ragnir. While still partially shackled, Loki is still not without power and threatens them to undo the final shackle by having Ragnir summon thunderbolts from the sky which sets the Treasure Tree Adam on fire. While the fire is being fought, Loki states to Hadrujin that he can't lift Ragnir and demands that the last chain be unlocked before he can kill all the weaklings in the Sun World. Luffy was able to knock Loki down and begs for Hadrujin not to let Loki die despite what he had done while Road starts to suspect on the identity of who previously attacked Loki. After Gerd tended to Loki's injuries and Luffy weary that Loki will be killed if he was brought to the Sun World while noting that the horns on Loki's head are real due to the royalty lineage, Loki asks Hadrujin on if he really believed that he killed King Harald as everyone has claimed.
Jarul (ヤルル, Yaruru) is a 67 ft. giant and former co-captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates who is the oldest of the giants and has a colossal beard resembling a mountain.
At the time when the Straw Hat Pirates attended a party held by the giants over their defeat of Big Mom and Kaido, Jarul showed up with a sword in his helmet. He would mention that traveling humans don't often visit the Sun World part of Elbaph as they think that the Underworld is all of Elbaph is. He even learns how Luffy's Devil Fruit has a connection with Nika as Jarul mentions that Harald and Loki tried to be like him. Jarul's injury was the result of him trying to stop Loki after he killed his father King Harald.

The captains (軍隊長, guntaichō, army commanders) of the Revolutionary Army lead divisions, each representing a sea. They consist of:
The deputy captains (副軍隊長, fuku guntaichō, deputy commanders) are second-in command of divisions, each representing a sea and assisting their captains. They consist of:
The "Tyrant" (暴君, Bōkun) Bartholomew Kuma (バーソロミュー・くま, Bāsoromyū Kuma, kuma (熊) meaning bear), is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea; the only one with a reputation for complete obedience to the World Government, when in fact he is an officer of the Revolutionary Army. The power of the Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit (ニキュニキュの実, Nikyu Nikyu no Mi) allows his palms to repel anything, from physical objects such as people or air to abstracts such as pain and fatigue. He can use this ability to safely transport himself or others over long distances. Kuma is the model for the Pacifista (パシフィスタ, Pashifisuta), a class of experimental cyborgs created by Dr. Vegapunk for the Government. Their bodies are made of a substance harder than steel, and they can shoot powerful blasts from their mouths that can melt metal. The other Pacifista look just like Kuma, sharing his towering, bear-like stature, but lack the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability. Instead, they are able to shoot laser beams from their palms. At some point during his gradual conversion into the human weapon "PX-0", Kuma's personality is erased, leaving him a programmable fighting machine under the Government's control until becoming a slave-to-rent for the World Nobles as punishment for aiding Luffy.
In the original Japanese series, Bartholomew Kuma is voiced by Hideyuki Hori. Joel McDonald provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.
Koala (コアラ, Koara) is a high-ranking officer of the Revolutionary Army and their Assistant Fish-Man Karate Instructor who was a slave who was saved by Fisher Tiger.
Koala is voiced by Satsuki Yukino in the original Japanese version and by Jeannie Tirado in the Funimation dub.
Hack (ハック, Hakku) is a Fish-Man Karate Instructor in the Revolutionary Army and Japanese soldierfish-type fish-man.
Hack is voiced by Kōsei Hirota in the original Japanese version and by Garret Schenck in the Funimation dub except for some episodes, where he is voiced by Kent Williams.
Some of the characters in One Piece were based on real-life pirates, explorers, and historical figures. Below is a list of notable examples, arranged chronologically based on the time periods in which these individuals lived:
Allen Divers of Anime News Network comments that the male character designs of One Piece are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". He also notes that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development". Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of "charm". His colleague Carl Kimlinger 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". He also 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". He laments 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". He also states 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."
Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany". Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime, but also comments that "Some of the voices [of the 4Kids dub] 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". His colleague 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."
