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,[a] sky people, and minks,[b] 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.

Several characters have been stated to be based on actual pirates and sailors such as: Eustass Kid (Eustace the Monk and William Kidd), X. Drake (Sir Francis Drake), Basil Hawkins (Basil Ringrose and John Hawkins), Capone Bege (Al Capone and William Le Sauvage), Jewelry Bonney (Anne Bonny), Urouge (Aruj and Oruç Reis), Alvida (Awilda), Bartolomeo (Bartholomew Roberts), Bellamy (Samuel Bellamy), Blackbeard (Edward Teach), Cavendish (Thomas Cavendish), Big Mom (Charlotte Badger), Gold Roger (Olivier Levasseur), Lafitte (Jean Lafitte), Roronoa Zoro (François l'Olonnais), Silvers Rayleigh (Sir Walter Raleigh), Thatch (Edward Thatch), Yorki (Calico Jack), Zeff and Sanji ("Red Legs" Greaves), Trafalgar Law (Edward Low), Barbarossa (Hayreddin Barbarossa), and Scratchmen Apoo (Chui A-poo).[ch. 508] The cross dresser Emporio Ivankov is based on Dr. Frank N. Furter and Norio Imamura. Norio had asked Oda to draw more okama (homosexual) characters and became Ivankov's first voice actor.[ch. 570]
Oda had created Helmeppo before he created Captain Morgan, Helmeppo's father. Oda originally named Morgan after "Chop", with the character's full title being "Naval Captain Chop" or "Sailor Chop". "Sailor" in Japanese is suihei (水兵), and "Suihei Chop" is a fighting technique used by Giant Baba, a Japanese wrestler. He created several versions of Morgan before settling on the final design. After an editor told him that Morgan, in Oda's words, "looked lame", he changed the design to its final style.[vol. 1:p. 144 (en)]
The protagonists of the One Piece series are all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi), a crew of ten pirates captained by Monkey D. Luffy. The crew's number increases throughout the series, as Luffy recruits new members. Once Usopp joins the Straw Hat Pirates, they gain their own ship, the Going Merry, which is later destroyed and replaced by a larger and more powerful vessel, the Thousand Sunny created by their shipwright Franky. Two years later, the Straw Hats gain a new fleet, called the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, consisting of 5,640 pirates from seven different crews; Luffy objects to the idea of being a fleet commander, and organizes his new army in a way that they may act independently, but when one crew is in trouble, the others must do what they can to help them. By the end of the Wano Country Arc, the Straw Hat Pirates are recognized as an Emperor-led crew with Luffy also being recognized as the leader of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet[ch. 903] and the other nine members as its Senior Officers[ch. 1058] after the defeat of both Kaido and Big Mom.
Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ, Monkī Dī Rufi) is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirate and the main protagonist of the One Piece series. At age seven, he admires and tries to join the pirates of the "Red Haired" Shanks. Ridiculed and rejected, he inadvertently eats their treasure, the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit (ゴムゴムの実, Gomu Gomu no Mi), which gives him rubbery attributes. His reckless efforts ultimately lead him into grave peril causing Shanks to lose an arm while rescuing him. After this, Luffy gives up on joining Shanks, resolving instead to start a crew of his own and become King of the Pirates.[ch. 1] Displeased by Shanks spoiling his grandson, Garp takes Luffy to be raised by Curly Dadan and her mountain bandits, who he strong-arms into taking him in. During Luffy's time there, he becomes a sworn brother with Ace, Garp's other ward, and Sabo, a local runaway noble.[ch. 582–589]
Ten years later and still wearing Shanks' treasured straw hat, Luffy forms and commands his own pirate crew called The Straw Hat Pirates and sets sail for the Grand Line, quickly gaining infamy as "Straw Hat" Luffy (麦わらのルフィ, Mugiwara no Rufi).[ch. 2, 7, 96, 98] Eventually, after his strength proves insufficient to save Ace from execution, he spends two years on a secluded island, learning the use of the three colors of Haki as well as his rubber ability's fourth Gear from Silvers Rayleigh, before heading to the New World.[ch. 590–602] Due to his infamy, he is one of the pirates who are known as "The Worst Generation". After the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, he is subsequently named one of the newest members of the Four Emperors. Luffy is also capable of using the advanced application for all types of Haki. During his fight with Kaido, his devil fruit power awakened, revealing its true nature as the Mythical Zoan-type, Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.

Roronoa Zoro (ロロノア・ゾロ) is a swordsman who uses up to three swords simultaneously, holding one in each hand and a third in his mouth.[ch. 3, 5, 28] To fulfill a promise to Kuina, his deceased childhood friend and rival, he aims to defeat "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk and become the world's greatest swordsman.[ch. 5, 50] Traveling the seas in search of Mihawk and making a living as a bounty hunter, he becomes infamously known as "Pirate Hunter" Zoro (海賊狩りのゾロ, Kaizoku-Gari no Zoro).
Eventually, he comes into conflict with Helmeppo, the spoiled son of a navy officer. To prevent the harm of innocent civilians, Zoro allows himself to be incarcerated temporarily, while Helmeppo plots to have him killed. Zoro is saved from execution by Luffy in exchange for becoming his first crewman. At that point, Zoro makes it clear that he would turn on his captain if he ever stepped between him and his dream.[ch. 2–6] However, Zoro grows fond of his crew and after several defeats in their defense, his priorities change and he convinces Mihawk to take him on as a student.[ch. 51f., 485, 597] Zoro is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki and is capable of using the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki. He is known for his awful sense of direction and constantly gets lost when traveling.

Adopted and raised by navy seaman turned tangerine farmer Belle-Mère, Nami (ナミ) witnessed her mother being murdered by the infamous Arlong, whose pirate gang occupies their island and extracts tribute from the population. Striking a deal with him, Nami, still a child, but already an accomplished cartographer who dreams of drawing a complete map of the world, joins the pirates, hoping to buy freedom for her village eventually. Growing up as a pirate-hating pirate drawing maps for Arlong and stealing treasure from other pirates, Nami becomes an excellent burglar, pickpocket, and navigator with an exceptional ability to forecast weather.[ch. 77, 95, 130] After Arlong betrays her, and he and his gang are defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami joins them in pursuit of her dream and acquires infamy herself as "Cat Burglar" Nami (泥棒猫のナミ, Dorobō Neko no Nami).[ch. 94f., 435]

During his early childhood, Usopp (ウソップ, Usoppu) was abandoned by his father, Yasopp, who left to join the Red-Haired Pirates. As his mother, Bachina, falls ill, Usopp starts telling tall tales, expressing his hope that his father will return and take them out to sea. He regularly goes to the mansion at the top of the hill where he lives, to visit Kaya. Even after his mother dies, Usopp does not blame his father for leaving. Despite his cowardly disposition, he strives to become a great pirate.[ch. 25, 41]
Usopp is recognizable for his long nose, a reference to the fact that he tends to lie a lot. He is a gifted inventor, painter, and sculptor.[ch. 42, 106, 190] In combat, he relies primarily on slingshots to fire various kinds of ammunition with great precision in coordination with a set of lies and other weapons giving him a unique fighting style named "The Usopp Arsenal".[ch. 332] To help the Straw Hats rescue Nico Robin, he achieves notoriety under his alter-ego "Sogeking, the King of Snipers" (狙撃の王様そげキング, Sogeki no Ō-sama Sogekingu), a hero sniper wearing a golden mask and cape. Eventually, after helping the Straw Hats liberate Dressrosa from Donquixote Doflamingo's rule, he becomes infamous as "God" Usopp (ゴッド ウソップ, Goddo Usoppu).[ch. 435]
In the anime series, his voice actor is Kappei Yamaguchi.[1] Jason Griffith and Sonny Strait provide his voice in the 4Kids and Funimation English adaptations, respectively.[3][8]
Usopp is portrayed by Jacob Romero Gibson in the live-action adaptation of One Piece.[4]
Born as a prince of Germa Kingdom, Vinsmoke Sanji (ヴィンスモーク・サンジ, Vinsumōku Sanji) is routinely ridiculed by his genetically enhanced siblings and is locked away by his father Judge for being a disgrace. With help from his sister Reiju, he escapes and flees Germa, a floating kingdom composed of several ships, after it enters the East Blue and his father permits it.
While serving as an apprentice cook on a passenger ship, nine-year-old Sanji stands up to a boarding party of pirates led by the infamous "Red Foot" Zeff. During the encounter, Sanji is swept into the sea by a massive wave. Zeff jumps in after him because of their common dream of finding the All Blue (オールブルー, Ōru Burū), a legendary area where the East, West, North, and South Blue seas meet, containing every kind of fish in the world. While castaways together, the pirate saves Sanji's life yet again by giving him all of their food. After their eventual rescue, Sanji stays with Zeff for several years and helps him build a floating restaurant, the Baratie (バラティエ). Zeff in turn makes him a first-rate cook and teaches him his kick-based fighting style.[ch. 56–59] Mirroring Zeff, Sanji will never refuse a starving person a meal, and he uses only his legs when fighting to protect the hands he needs for cooking.[ch. 48, 370] He has a weakness for women and makes it a principle never to harm one, even if it means his death.[ch. 403]
Eventually, he becomes infamous as "Black Leg" Sanji (黒脚のサンジ, Kuro Ashi no Sanji).[ch. 435] While training for a period of two years in Emporio Ivankov's Kamabakka Queendom (カマバッカ王国, Kamabakka Ōkoku), he develops the Sky Walk (空中歩行, Sukai Wōku), a variant of the Six Powers (六式, Rokushiki) technique Moonwalk (月歩, Geppo), which allows him to essentially run through air.[ch. 635] Sanji receives his own Raid Suit from his family that grants him the ability to turn invisible[ch. 903], though he later destroys it out of fear of losing his humanity.[ch. 1031]
Sanji's standard appearance is wearing a well-fitting black suit with a skinny black tie. His hair always covers one of his eyes and he is usually smoking a cigarette.
In the anime television series, he is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata.[9] In the 4Kids English adaptation, he is voiced by David Moo.[10] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Eric Vale.[3]
Sanji is portrayed by Taz Skylar in the live-action adaptation of One Piece.[4]
Tony Tony Chopper (トニートニー・チョッパー, Tonī Tonī Choppā) is an anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor. The power of the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit (ヒトヒトの実, Hito Hito no Mi) provides him with the ability to transform into a full-sized reindeer or a reindeer-human hybrid.[ch. 140] A self-developed drug he calls Rumble Ball (ランブル・ボール, Ranburu Bōru) enables him to perform even more transformations for three minutes.[ch. 149] With help from Caesar Clown, Chopper can last in his transformations for about 30 minutes.[ch. 1014]
Rejected by his herd because of his blue nose and eating the Devil Fruit, Chopper is rescued by Drum Island's quack doctor Doctor Hiriluk. While developing a potion to create cherry blossoms when in contact with snow, Chopper is heartbroken when Hiriluk falls ill with a deadly disease. After Hiriluk's death, Doctor Kureha takes him in as his mentor. After the Straw Hats arrive at Drum Island and take Chopper with them, Kureha uses Hiriluk's potion to turn the snowy sky into cherry blossoms, fulfilling Hiriluk's life mission. When complimented, Chopper acts flustered and sometimes yells at the person who complimented him to stop trying to make him happy.[ch. 140] A running gag within the series is when other characters mistake him as a Tanuki, and he angrily corrects them, pointing out that he is a Tonakai (Japanese for "Reindeer").
Chopper's voice actress is Ikue Ōtani.[11] Kazue Ikura voiced Tony Tony Chopper for episodes 254–263.[12] Brina Palencia voices Chopper in the English Funimation dub.
When creating Chopper, Oda wanted a mascot who is both cute and feeble.[13] 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.[14] With Chopper's backstory, Oda wanted to illustrate that one need not be blood-related to be considered family.[15]
Being raised in Ohara (オハラ), home of the world's oldest and largest library, Nico Robin (ニコ・ロビン, Niko Robin) becomes an archaeologist at the age of eight.[ch. 218,391f.] At some point she gains the power of the Paramecia-type Flower-Flower Fruit (ハナハナの実, Hana Hana no Mi), which allows her to have temporary copies of parts of her body, including her eyes and ears, which spring up on surfaces near her.[ch. 170] Behind her teachers' backs, she acquires from them the outlawed knowledge of how to translate the ancient stones called Poneglyphs (歴史の本文, Pōnegurifu, alt. Poneglyphs), which are scattered around the world. She comes to share their goal of finding the elusive Real Ponegliff (真の歴史の本文, Rio Pōnegurifu), which is said to tell the world's lost history referred to as the 100-Year Void (空白の100年, Kūhaku no Hyaku-nen, Void Century).[ch. 218] However, the World Government finds out about these efforts and sends a battlefleet to stop them. Only Robin escapes the devastating attack that claims the lives of the island's entire population, including that of her mother.[ch. 218, 395]
Called "Devil Child" (悪魔の子, Akuma no Ko), traumatized, and with a bounty on her head, Robin lives a life on the run, unable to trust anyone.[ch. 218] To survive, she cooperates with various pirates and other outlaws. She eventually joins Sir Crocodile's Baroque Works group, using the codename "Ms. All-Sunday" (ミス・オールサンデー, Misu Ōrusandē)[ch. 398] and becomes their vice-president.[ch. 218] After Baroque Works falls apart, with nowhere else to go, she tags along with the Straw Hat Pirates[ch. 218] and grows so fond of them that she gives herself up to the Government to save them. After they discover her real reason for leaving, the Straw Hat Pirates declare open war against the Government to get her back. She realizes that she has finally found people who will never betray her and joins the crew.[ch. 398] Two years later, Robin further hones her Devil Fruit powers to the point she can create a full-bodied duplicate of herself.
In the anime television series adaptation of the manga, Robin's voice actress is Yuriko Yamaguchi.[16] In the 4Kids English adaptation, her Baroque Works codename was changed to Miss Sunday and she is voiced by Veronica Taylor.[17] In the Funimation English adaptation, she is voiced by Stephanie Young.[18]
The son of pirate parents who abandoned him at age nine, Cutty Flam (カティ・フラム, Kati Furamu) changed his name to Franky (フランキー, Furankī) and is taken in as an apprentice by shipwright Tom, who built Pirate King Gol D Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, and also secretly holds the plans for a devastating ancient weapon.[ch. 344, 354, 427] Franky's recklessness eventually provides an opportunity for World Government agents seeking these plans.[ch. 356] Attempting to rescue his master, Franky suffers severe injuries and only survives by rebuilding parts of his body using pieces of scrap metal, turning himself into a cola-powered cyborg with strength.[ch. 336, 339, 352, 357f.] After gaining notoriety as "Cyborg" Franky (サイボーグ フランキー, Saibōgu Furankī), and to fulfill his dream of sailing a ship he built around the world, he constructs the Thousand Sunny, a brigantine-rigged sloop-of-war, for the Straw Hat Pirates and joins the crew.[ch. 435–437]
In the anime television series, his voice actor is Kazuki Yao.[19] Patrick Seitz provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.[20]
Already a pirate before the time of Roger, "Humming" Brook (ブルック, Burukku) first enters the Grand Line as a member of the music-themed Rumbar Pirates. Leaving his pet, the infant whale Laboon (ラブーン, Rabūn), at Reverse Mountain, he promises to return after sailing around the world.[ch. 487] After losing his captain "Calico" Yorki (キャラコのヨーキ, Kyarako no Yōki), Brook took over the crew as the new captain. Some time later, he is annihilated, but the power of the Paramecia-type Revive-Revive Fruit (ヨミヨミの実, Yomi Yomi no Mi) allows him to resurrect as a skeleton.[ch. 443] Fifty years later, Brook's goal is still to fulfill his late crew's promise, and to that end he joins the Straw Hat Pirates.[ch. 459]
He is an excellent musician, who says that he can play any instrument, although he is usually seen playing the violin.[ch. 486] Brook can even influence people with his music to the point of making them fall asleep.[ch. 454] While separated from the other Straw Hats, and incognito as "Soul King" Brook, he gains world fame, filling concert halls with fans.[ch. 600] He is also a skilled fencer who uses a shikomizue (a Japanese cane sword) in battle.[ch. 454] His reduced weight allows him to jump extraordinarily high and to run across water.[ch. 443, 493] Eventually, Brook learns how to use his Devil Fruit ability to leave his skeleton body and explore his surroundings as a disembodied soul.[ch. 629]
The idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in 2000, about the time of Laboon's introduction and more than half a decade before the first appearance of Brook.[21]
He is voiced by Chō.[22] Ian Sinclair provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.
Jimbei (ジンベエ, Jinbē) is a yakuza-esque whale shark-type fish-man.[ch. 528] A master of Fish-Man Karate (魚人空手, Gyojin Karate), he is capable of manipulating water as if it were a tangible cloth.[ch. 546] Jimbei can communicate with fish, an ability more usually associated with merfolk, and enlist the help of whale sharks.[ch. 547–549] After growing up in a rough part of Fish-Man Island, Jimbei first joins the island's royal army and later the Sun Pirates; he becomes captain following the death of Fisher Tiger.[ch. 624] In exchange for the World Government granting him Warlord-status and amnesty to the Sun Pirates, Jimbei eventually disbands the crew.[ch. 69] He resigns the position to side against the Government during its war with the Whitebeard Pirates, the protectors of Fish-Man Island.[ch. 557] Two years later, he enlists the help of the Straw Hat Pirates to prevent the New Fish-Man Pirates' coup d'état against Fish-Man Island's royal family. Jimbei then turns down an invitation from Luffy to join his crew, having already aligned with the Big Mom Pirates after the death of Whitebeard.[ch. 649] After cutting ties with Big Mom, he joins the Straw Hat Pirates as the crew's helmsman.[ch. 863][ch. 976]
In the Japanese anime television series, Jimbei is initially voiced by Daisuke Gōri, later by Katsuhisa Hōki.[23][24] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Daniel Baugh.

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.[ch. 432, 483, 576, 581] Two years later, Blackbeard is considered to have assumed Whitebeard's position.[ch. 650] 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.
Kaido (カイドウ, Kaidō), also known as "Kaido, The King of the Beasts" (百獣のカイドウ, Hyakujū no Kaidō, lit. "Kaido of the Beasts"), is the 23 ft. 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.[33] 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:
The Shinuchi (真打ち, Shin'uchi) are the second-grade officers of the Animal Kingdom Pirates, with most of them being elite Gifters. They are in charge of the lower-ranking Gifters, Pleasures, and Waiters.
Known Shinuchi include:
The Gifters (与えられた者達, Gifutāzu) are the elite soldiers of the Animal Kingdom Pirates.
Known Gifters include:
The Marys (メアリーズ, Mearīzu) are the surveillance crew of the Animal Kingdom Pirates that consist of humans and cyborg animals who wear paper masks and transmit their information to Kaido. The lead member of the Mary is:
The Numbers (ナンバーズ, Nanbāzu) are a group of artificially-produced ancient giants with animalistic traits with most of them wearing tiger-striped loincloths that were produced on Punk Hazard as a failed experiment and were brought into the services of the Animal Kingdom Pirates. They are also known to be messy drinkers where that habit annoys Queen. They consist of:
The Pleasures (笑う者達, Purejāzu) are the mid-level foot soldiers who ate the dud SMILE Fruits and can only feel joy. Many of them defected after Chopper saved them from the Ice Oni virus that Queen created.
The Waiters (待つ者達, Weitāzu) are the low-level foot soldiers who haven't eaten a SMILE yet. Because of the shut down of the SMILE factory, the Waiters are just left in this position. Many of them defected after Tony Tony Chopper saved them from the Ice Oni virus that Queen created.
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.
Marshall D. Teach (マーシャル・D・ティーチ, Māsharu Dī Tīchi), better known as Blackbeard (黒ひげ, Kurohige), is the captain, later commodore (admiral in the Japanese version), of the Blackbeard Pirates. 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.[ch. 159, 440f.] 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.[ch. 486, 576f., 650]
The character is based on and named after the historical pirate Edward "Blackbeard" Teach.[ch. 474] In the Japanese anime television series, his voice actor is Akio Ōtsuka.[37] In its Funimation English adaptation, his voice was supplied by Cole Brown until his death in November 2016, being replaced by Chris Rager.

"Blue Pheasant"), was a seemingly lazy but morally upright naval officer with the ability of the Logia-type Chilly-Chilly Fruit (ヒエヒエの実, Hie Hie no Mi), which allows him to generate, control, or become ice.[ch. 319f., 393] On his retirement, Sengoku advocates for Aokiji to succeed him as fleet admiral.[ch. 594] Aokiji duels with Akainu for the position, but loses. Not wanting to serve under Akainu, he leaves the Navy thanks to his disillusionment with the World Government's Absolute Justice. He joins the Blackbeard Pirates soon after for unknown reasons[ch. 650] and becomes the captain of the crew's 10th ship.[ch. 1081] Aokiji's appearance is modeled after Yūsaku Matsuda.[ch. 558]

The Big Mom Pirates (ビッグ・マム海賊団, Biggu Mamu Kaizokudan) are the crew led by the member of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin. Each of its members are named after foods and are themed after different fairy tales. Some of them are minsters of different things at the different islands of Totto Land.

Most of her children are larger than normal humans.
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 when her eating disorder for seamen during a fast before the Winter Solstice led to her rampage throughout Elbaf 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.
Big Mom is also the only female member of the Four Emperors, and a former member of the Rocks Pirates. She currently has the second-highest bounty of any pirate after Kaido, with a bounty of 4,388,000,000.[33]
Big Mom possesses the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, which previously belonged to Carmel, with which she can give life to objects or make animals act like humans by giving them a fragment of a person's soul transforming them into Homies. Big Mom is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki and is capable of using the advanced application for both and Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki.
During the fight in Wano Country, Big Mom was defeated by Eustace Kid and Trafalgar D. Law where she and Kaido fell into a volcanic chamber before its eruption. It is unknown if they survived or not.

The following are the rest of the members of the Big Mom 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.[ch. 593] 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.[ch. 1056, 1058]
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.[ch. 19, 434] 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.[ch. 526f.] 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).[ch. 9] 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.[ch. 549, 700]
In the anime series, his voice actor is Shigeru Chiba.[1] In the 4Kids dub, he is voiced by David Wills.[40] In the Funimation dub, his voice is supplied by Mike McFarland.[3]
Oda said that Buggy is his favorite antagonist, because of all of them he is the easiest to draw.[41] 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".[42] Jacob Hope Chapman of the same site said that seeing Buggy during the Jaya Arc was "entertaining".[43] 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".[44] He was "disappointed" that Buggy, Smoker, and the Strawhats did not have a conflict at sea.[45] 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".[46] He said that he believes that Buggy is being set up as a regular character because he was "afraid he might lose him".[47] 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."[48]
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,[ch. 170] absorb moisture with his right hand,[ch. 201] and, as long as he is not wet, turn his body into sand.[ch. 199] He wears a large golden alloy hook in place of a left hand,[ch. 160] which contains a potent poison and a dagger underneath.[ch. 204] Initially a member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea,[ch. 113] 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),[ch. 127, 211] heads the criminal organization known as Baroque Works as president and is arrested after he was defeated by Luffy.[ch. 113]
Sometime after the mass-prison breakt at Impel Down, Sir Crocodile later found the Cross Guild along with Mihawk and becomes one of its chief officers.[ch. 1058]
In the original Japanese series, he is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo.[49] In the 4Kids adaptation, Crocodile is voiced by David Brimmer.[50] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by John Swasey.[39]
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.[ch. 50, 52, 69] 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.[ch. 50, ?] 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 a 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.[ch. 1058]
Takeshi Aono provided his voice in the anime until 2010,[9] after which he was replaced by Hirohiko Kakegawa.[51] In the 4Kids English adaptation, he is voiced by Wayne Grayson.[52] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by John Gremillion.[3]

As an adult Shanks formed his own crew of pirates called the Red-Haired Pirates which were named after his distinctive crimson-colored hair.[ch. 19, 434, 506] 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 King, a kind of sea serpent-like creature which cost Shanks his left arm. 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 fromGol 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.[ch. 1, 432] Shanks currently has a bounty of 4,048,900,000.[33]
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 characters like Eustass Kid and an unknown Yonko, Admiral Akainu and Blackbeard flat-out refusing to face him, and him being a rival to Dracule Mihawk in their youths. Shanks is able to use all three forms of Haki: Haoshoku/Conqueror, Busoshoku/Armament, and Kenbunshoku/Observation and is one of three known characters in the series to be able to use all three forms, with the other two being Luffy and Kendo. 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 Elbaf, 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. Shanks' Haki is visually represented as red and black lightning-like energy and is even powerful enough to impact material items as when he used Conqueror's Haki to weaken Whitebeard's crew, their ship started to damage in his presence.

The World Government (世界政府, Sekai Seifu) is a global regime that rules over the world of One Piece and is affiliated with over 170 nations from around the world[ch. 398] led publicly by the Five Elders, but is secretly led by Imu. Eight centuries after its foundation by a group of twenty kings known as the First 20 (最初の20人, Sekai Seifu),[ch. 497] their descendants, the Celestial Dragons, live luxurious lives and abuse their power.[ch. 498] The World Government is portrayed in the series as a corrupt, oppressive entity if not an outright autocratic 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.[ch. 396][ch. 763][ch. 907][ch. 908] 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,[ch. 1054] 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).[ch. 906] The Government also has complete control over other branches, subsidiaries, and agencies specifically military forces such as the Holy Knights, Navy, and Seven Warlords of the Sea and agencies like Cipher Pol to enforce its reign and policies. Its greatest enemies are pirates and revolutionaries. The latter of which directly opposes the World Government and are led by the infamous Dragon.
Imu (イム) is the true highest authority of the World Government, making them the shadow leader of the world who occupies the Empty Throne of Pangaea Castle. Their existence is kept secret from the world and much within the Government that if anyone witnesses their existence, they are assassinated.[ch. 908] [ch. 1085] Imu is shown to have great cruelty and apathy for example when they destroy the kingdom of Lulusia solely because they want to test the weapon's capabilities and it happens to be the nearest country.[ch. 1086] They are rather childish, speaking in third person calling themselves "Mu", and seems to hold a really intense hatred towards those who bear the "Will of D". Imu seems to have eaten a yet-to-be-identified Mythical Zoan which they are able to assume the form of an enormous, beast-like, yet humanoid creature capable of consuming fire, as well as make it resemble a sharp-pointed, arrowhead-shaped appendage or a tentacle used for piercing, strong enough to mortally wound someone, which they use to try to kill King Cobra after suddenly interrupting his meeting with the Five Elders and finding out the Alabastan royal family were part of the D clan all along.
The Five Elders (五老星, Gorōsei) are a council of older men who are the official highest authorities of the World Government, making them the leaders of the world,[ch. 233] and the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons[ch. 907] with each of them being in charge of a political field in the Government. They all gather at the Hall of Power (権力の間, Kenryoku no Ma, Room of Authority) of Pangaea Castle where they meet with those who have been granted an audience. The Elders are greatly concerned about protecting the unbalanced world from the influence of piracy and preserving the World Government's public image, even goes as far as covering up its tyrannical nature and reputation from the general public. 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.[ch. 907]
They all ate Mythical Zoan Devil Fruis which allow them to transform into enormous, monstrous creatures which they all appear in their fruits' Awakened abilities and are based East Asian mythology and folklore.
During the events of the Egghead Incident, all Five Elders had to go to Egghead to stop a pre-recorded broadcast that activated after Dr. Vegapunk's death by the hands of Admiral Kizaru in the Marines' invasion while having to contend with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates.

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.[ch. 397] After Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji.[ch. 650] His appearance is modeled after Bunta Sugawara.[ch. 558]

Following the Paramount War, he retires from the service and, against his recommendation to promote Aokiji, is succeeded by Akainu.[ch. 650] 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.

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.

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 [ch. 1054], 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,[ch. 1053] which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way.[ch. 905] 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 [ch. 1054]. So, thus he is venturing to Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval.[ch. 1053]

Upon seeing Luffy smile before miraculously surviving his execution in Loguetown, Smoker came to believe that he is a potential threat, since his attitude during his near demise, mirrored that of Gold Roger when he was executed, Smoker became more confused when Dragon stopped him from killing Luffy. 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.

While originally the director of MADS before the group was arrested, Vegapunk was brought into the Marines as its head scientist. Some of his achievements when working for the Marines have included but are not limited to using seastones on the hulls of ships to keep the Sea Kings away, researching the Lineage Factor, creating artificial lifeforms, doing gigantification research, figuring out how to make an inanimate object "eat" a Devil Fruit, doing cyborg modifications to people, working on warping technology, and a Den Den Mushi that can broadcast anything across the world.
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.
Dr. 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. Dr. 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, Dr. Vegapunk was badly wounded by St. Jaygarcia Saturn and Kizaru. It was noted that Dr. Vegapunk's brain in the Punk Records would still live on if Dr. Vegapunk died.
A pre-recorded message by Dr. Vegapunk and his satellites took control of all the Den Den Mushis in the world advising everyone on the other end of it to take 10 minutes to prepare for what he has to say. As the Marines failed to cut off the transmission, Saturn informed the rest of the Five Elders of it and instructed them to head to Egghead so that they can do their attempt to stop Dr. Vegapunk's transmission. St. Marcus Mars fails to find the Broadcast Den Den Mushi in time and the information reveals that the world will one day sink into the Blue Sea as Dr. Vegapunk wanted everyone to know whether they think if this information will be believed or not as he also reveals that this message was activated upon his death. This will start with a massive earthquake that will raise the ocean by one meter which is not a natural phenonemon as it will submerge the beaches and make most islands uninhabitable. His first sin was hoping that he can bring peace to the world and the information about the Void Century where he stated that the World Government outlawed the deciphering of Poneglyphs. As he managed to decipher them, Dr. Vegapunk stated that this is his second sin. Then Dr. Vegapunk started to talk about Joy Boy from the highly-advanced Great Kingdom who was the first pirate and had similar abilities to Nika where he fought against the World Government where the world never recovered after Joy Boy's defeat. Dr. Vegapunk then stated that the islands everyone lives on are remnants of the larger land masses that sunk 1,000 years ago which he surmises as the cause of the Void Century when the sea level rose 200 ft. due to a man-made action. The flooding was caused by the Ancient Weapons as they are still around due to the great war from the past century still going on. Dr. Vegapunk then mentioned that he was working on an energy source that would help humanity become advanced which is now incomplete and his creation of the Mother Flame which was used to power an ancient weapon where a stolen fragment of it caused the disappearance of Lulusia Kingdom as some of them were passed over to different locations by Joy Boy who didn't want to take sides in the conflict. Then Dr. Vegapunk mentioned that the Roger Pirates knew about the Void Century and did not pass down the knowledge. York figured out that the Den-Den Mushi that is broadcasting Dr. Vegapunk's pre-recorded information is guarded by the Iron Giant in the Fabriophase as she goes to inform the Five Elders. Before Dr. Vegapunk's pre-recorded message can address anyone who has D in their name, the Iron Giant is tackled by St. Topman Warcury which jammed the signal.
Dr. Vegapunk is voiced by Yoshito Yasuhara in episode 610 in the original Japanese version and Yōhei Tadano in later episodes of the original Japanese version.
Dr. Vegapunk's satellites are artificial creations that represent Dr. Vegapunk's personalities. The following make up Dr. Vegapunk's satellites:
Joshu (ジョシュ, Joshu) is Dr. Vegapunk's pet cat who walks on its hind legs and works as his laboratory assistant.
Sentomaru (戦桃丸, Sentōmaru) is a large man with a sumo wrestler-like build who is in command of the Marine's Science Unit and the bodyguard of Dr. Vegapunk ever since he was saved by him in his youth. In addition, he is shown to have control over the Pacifista units. Following the Time Skip, Sentomaru became a full-fledged Marine officer. During the "Egghead Arc", Sentomaru helped out the Straw Hat Pirates in their mission to rescue Dr. Vegapunk from York out of loyalty to Dr. Vegapunk.
Sentomaru is voiced by Kazue Ikura in the original Japanese version and by Greg Ayres in the Funimation dub.
Stussy (ステューシー, Sutyūshī) is an elegant woman who is a clone of Buckingham Stussy developed by MADS who is employed as a spy by Dr. Vegapunk.[ch. 1072] She remained loyal to Vegapunk and has been working as a deep undercover agent of the World Government for 27 years, infiltrating CP0 and becoming one of its masked agents.[ch. 871] 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).[ch. 860]
Stussy is voiced by Mami Kingetsu in the original Japanese version and by Anastasia Muñoz in the Funimation dub.
The Seraphim (セラフィム, Serafimu) are Pacifistas that Dr. Vegapunk had developed for the Navy. Each of them is a cyborg clone of a known member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who resemble their child appearances, are spliced with King's Lunarian Lineage Factor that grants them Lunarian abilities, and have the Green Blood which enables them to copy the powers of a Devil Fruit. 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 Dr. Vegapunk and the CP0 agents.
The Iron Giant (鉄の巨人, Tetsu no Kyojin) is a legendary gigantic robot that was created 900 years ago. While having been active during the Void Century, it later ran out of power and was inert on Egghead. During Luffy's fight with the Marines and the Five Elders, the Iron Giant reactivated upon hearing Luffy's Drums of Liberation and assisted in the fight against the Marines. It was later revealed that the Iron Giant is guarding the Den-Den Mushi that is broadcasting Dr. Vegapunk's pre-recorded message as St. Jaygarcia Saturn, St. Topman Warcury, St. Marcus Mars, and St. Shepherd Ju Peter confront it. St. Warcury was the one who tackled the Iron Giant enough to jam the signal to the broadcast.

The Revolutionary Army (革命軍, Kakumeigun) is a globally operating military force of rebels, openly aiming to overthrow the World Government. To that end, they incite revolutions in countries around the world. The organization is led by the world's most wanted man, Monkey D. Dragon, who is known to the public only as Dragon.[ch. 432] Also unknown to the public are his family ties; he is the son of Garp and father of Luffy.[ch. 432] Next in command after Dragon is Sabo, Luffy's sworn brother.
Before the events in Dressrosa, they were based on Baltigo, but after the Blackbeard Pirates attacked the island because of the presence of one of their Ten Titanic Captains, they moved to Kamabakka Kingdom.
Monkey D. Dragon (モンキー・D・ドラゴン, Monkī Dī Doragon), commonly known simply as "Dragon the Revolutionary", is the father of the Straw Hat Captain Monkey D. Luffy and the son of the naval hero Monkey D. Garp. He was previously in the Marines like his father but deserted it after seeing corruption and formed the Freedom Fighters to overthrow corrupt monarchs before becoming the infamous supreme commander and founder of the Revolutionary Army who has been attempting to overthrow the World Government. Not much is known about his activities, background, history, or power. He is the World Government's greatest enemy, and is the most dangerous and most wanted man in the world. Dragon's family ties were revealed to the world, following the end of the Battle of Marineford. [ch. 558][ch. 794]
He is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata. In the 4Kids English adaptation, he was voiced by Dan Green, and in the Funimation English version of the series, he is voiced by Bryan Massey.
Sabo (サボ) is the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army and sworn brother to Luffy and Ace.[ch. 585, 744] Introduced as a noble from the Goa Kingdom years before the series' present, Sabo leaves his home and family to live in the Gray Terminal. After he and Ace befriend Luffy, the three of them exchange cups of sake and become "brothers" (similar to the initiation ritual in yakuza organizations). Sabo's ship is destroyed by a Celestial Dragon. Though he is thought to have been killed in the attack, Sabo survived and was rescued by Monkey D. Dragon, though he suffers from amnesia. Under Dragon, he joins the Revolutionary Army and ascends the ranks. After hearing of Ace's death, Sabo's grief causes his memory to return. Although remaining loyal to the Revolutionary Army, Sabo becomes determined to obtain Ace's Devil Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit, to inherit Ace's will. He later finds it as the prize of a tournament on Dressrosa, where he reunites with Luffy and takes his place by using Luffy's alias "Lucy".[ch. 744] After winning the tournament, Sabo eats the Flame-Flame Fruit where he gains its abilities and battles Admiral Fujitora and Jesus Burgess in an effort to protect Luffy.
He is voiced by Tōru Furuya as an adult and as a child by Junko Takeuchi. In the Funimation English adaptation, his adult voice is supplied by Vic Mignogna in the dub of One Piece Film: Gold and Episode of Sabo and by Johnny Yong Bosch in all other appearances, while his child voice is supplied by Morgan Garrett.

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.[ch. 234, 473f., 603] 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.[ch. 484f.] He can use this ability to safely transport himself or others over long distances.[ch. 514] 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.[ch. 485] 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.[ch. 508f.] 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.[ch. 559f.]
In the original Japanese series, Bartholomew Kuma is voiced by Hideyuki Hori.[59] Joel McDonald provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.[71]

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".[72] Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of "charm".[73] 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."[74]
Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".[75] 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."[76] 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.[77][78] 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".[79] 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."[80]
