The One Piece manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Eiichiro Oda. The series takes place in a fictional universe where vast numbers of pirates, soldiers, revolutionaries, and other adventurers fight each other, using various superhuman and supernatural abilities. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of pirates as they search for the series eponymous treasure.
The main character of the series is Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate who wishes to succeed Gold Roger, the deceased King of the Pirates, by finding his treasure, the "One Piece". During the course of series, Luffy gathers himself a diverse crew, named the Straw Hat Pirates, including the three swords wielding Roronoa Zoro, the master thief and expert navigator Nami, the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp, the gourmet cook and martial-artist Sanji, the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cyborg shipwright Franky, and the living skeleton musician Brook. Together they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams, encountering other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the corrupt World Government, and various other friends and foes.
The majority of the characters are human, but the cast also includes, among others, giants, mermen and mermaids, and "fishmen"—beings half human, half fish. Many of the characters possess supernatural abilities gained by eating so called "Devil Fruits".
Creation and conception
![]() | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2008) |
Several characters have been stated to be based on actual people, such as Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach) and Whitebeard (Edward Newgate) being based on the owner of a bar where Oda used to go, and the famous pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach).[ch. 474] Some other notable examples includes Eustass Kid (Eustace the Monk and William Kidd), X. Drake (Sir Francis Drake), Basil Hawkins (Basil Ringrose and John Hawkins), Capone "Gang" Bege (Al Capone and William Le Sauvage), Trafalgar Law (Edward Low), Jewelry Bonney (Anne Bonny), Urouge (Aruj), Scratchmen Apoo (Chui A-poo),[ch. 508] Roronoa Zoro (François l'Olonnais),[ch. 28] Sanji & Zeff (Red Legs Greaves),[original research?] Lafitte (Jean Lafitte), Bartholomew Kuma (Bartholomew Roberts),[original research?] Captain Morgan (Henry Morgan),[original research?] Alvida (Awilda),[ch. 50] and Bellamy (Samuel Bellamy).[original research?] The transvestite Emporio Ivankov is based on Dr. Frank N. Furter and Norio Imamura. Norio had asked for Oda to draw more okama 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. Oda made several versions of Morgan before settling on the final design. After an editor told Oda that Morgan, in Oda's words, "looked lame", Oda changed Morgan's design to his final style.[vol. 1:144 (en)]
Protagonists
The protagonists of the One Piece series are part of the Straw Hat Pirates (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi), a group of nine pirates, organized and captained by Monkey D. Luffy. The crew's number increases throughout the series, as Luffy recruits new members.
Monkey D. Luffy
Monkey D. "Straw Hat"[n 1] Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ, Monkī Dī Rufi), is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and the main protagonist. In the beginning of the series, he accidentally eats the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit (ゴムゴムの実, Gomu Gomu no Mi), causing his body to gain the properties of highly stretchable rubber.[ch. 1] These properties are a result of Oda's desire for Luffy's fighting style to be silly, so that no matter how tense a situation gets, the reader can relax without becoming stressed out.[1][title missing][page needed] In addition to his Devil Fruit ability, Luffy eventually learns to use Haki.[ch. 597] After his life is saved by Shanks when he is seven years old, Luffy decides to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the series' titular treasure and succeeding Gold Roger as King of the Pirates.[ch. 1] Ten years later, wearing Shanks' straw hat, he sets out to sea to gather a crew and sail the Grand Line, where the One Piece is supposedly hidden.[ch. 7] He is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka.[2] In the 4Kids Entertainment English adaptation, he is voiced by Bella Hudson.[3] In the Funimation Entertainment English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Colleen Clinkenbeard.[4]
Roronoa Zoro
Roronoa "Pirate Hunter"[n 2] Zoro (ロロノア・ゾロ)[ch. 3], named after François l'Olonnais,[ch. 28] is a swordsman who uses up to three swords, holding the third in his mouth.[ch. 5] To fulfill a promise to his childhood friend and rival, "Kuina",[ch. 5] he decides to become the world's greatest swordsman by defeating Dracule Mihawk.[ch. 50] Before meeting Luffy, Zoro has become a bounty hunter.[ch. 2] Zoro is saved from his executioners by Luffy, who decides to follow his dream.[ch. 5f.] He makes it clear that he would turn on his captain if he ever stepped between him and his dream,[ch. 6] although he later says that he can not fulfill his dream if he did not help his captain fulfill his.[ch. 485] He is extremely poor at understanding geographical directions and gets lost very easily. He also sleeps a great deal and loves to drink. After the two years of intense training with Mihawk, Zoro has grown much more powerful than before. In the anime adaptation, his voice actor is Kazuya Nakai.[2] In the 4Kids English adaptation, his name is changed to Roronoa Zolo and "Pirate Hunter" Zolo, and is voiced by Marc Diraison.[3] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Christopher R. Sabat.[4]
Nami
"Cat Burglar"[n 3] Nami (ナミ, Nami) is a navigator and thief who recognizes and analyzes even the slightest changes in the weather.[ch. 130] She is also an excellent pickpocket.[ch. 95] Her dream is to draw a complete map of the world.[ch. 77] Throughout the series, Nami fights using a three-sectioned bo staff. Usopp later provides her with a version of this weapon capable of controlling weather, called the Climate Baton (天候棒(クリマ・タクト), Kurima Takuto).[ch. 190] She is voiced by Akemi Okamura.[2] In the 4Kids English adaptation, her name is changed to Nami the "Navigator", and her voice actress is Kerry Williams.[3] In the Funimation English adaptation, her voice is supplied by Luci Christian.[4]
Usopp
Usopp (ウソップ, Usoppu), nicknamed "King of Snipers Sniper King" (狙撃の王様そげキング, Sogeki no Ō-sama Sogekingu), is a liar,[ch. 27] talented inventor,[ch. 190] as well as a skilled painter[ch. 42] and sculptor, and he fills the role of the Straw Hat's Sniper.[ch. 106] In combat, Usopp primarily uses slingshots to fire various kinds of ammunition.[ch. 332] During Usopp's early childhood, his father, Yasopp, leaves him and his mother to join the Red-Haired Pirates.[ch. 25] Some time after this, Usopp's mother, Banchina (バンキーナ, Bankīna), falls ill. Usopp starts telling lies, stating that his father has returned and will be taking them with him. His mother eventually dies, but Usopp, in his sadness, continues to tell lies.[ch. 41] Despite all this, he does not blame his father for leaving him, but takes pride in his heritage.[ch. 25] In the anime series, his voice actor is Kappei Yamaguchi.[2] Jason Anthony Griffith and Sonny Strait provide his voice in the 4Kids and Funimation English adaptations, respectively.[5][4]
In a 2007 Oricon poll, Usopp was voted the 10th most wanted character to receive a spin off amongst all respondents, and the 5th most popular amongst males.[6] In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter notes that Usopp "brings lots of comic relief to the series", but also comments that he "can be down right annoying at times."[7]
Sanji
"Black Leg"[n 4] Sanji (サンジ, Sanji)[ch. 435] is the Straw Hat Pirates' cook. He knows how it feels to starve from first hand experience,[ch. 58] so he will never refuse someone a meal.[ch. 48] He has a strong sense of chivalry, because of which, he will never harm a woman, even if he dies.[ch. 403] Sanji also seems to keep this code regardless of a woman's appearance.[ch. 453] His dream is to find the "All Blue" (オールブルー, Ōru Burū), a legendary sea, containing every kind of fish in the world.[ch. 57] Sanji only uses kicks while fighting. He said that this is because a chef's hands are his most prized possessions and should not be risked in battle.[ch. 370] Sanji begins using a fire-based kick technique known as Diable Jambe (悪魔風脚(ディアブルジャンブ), Diaburu Janbu, French for "Devil Leg", Japanese text translates as "Devil Wind Leg"), in which he heats his leg by spinning around rapidly to increase his attack power. Eventually, he can fly using CP9's Skywalk technique and can use Diable Jambe without spinning around. According to One Piece episode 148, Sanji was born in North Blue, but grew up in East Blue. He is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata.[8] In the 4Kids English adaptation, he is voiced by David Moo.[9] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Eric Vale.[4]
Tony Tony Chopper
Tony Tony "Cotton Candy Lover"[n 5] Chopper (トニートニー・チョッパー, Tonī Tonī Choppā) is a doctor and a blue-nosed reindeer who gained human properties by eating the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit (ヒトヒトの実, Hito Hito no Mi).[ch. 140] Using a self-developed drug he calls Rumble Ball (ランブル・ボール, Ranburu Bōru), Chopper can assume more than the three forms provided by his Devil Fruit ability alone.[ch. 149] When complimented, Chopper acts really happy while either telling the person who complimented him to stop trying to make him happy, or that Chopper isn't very happy.[ch. 140] His voice actress is Ikue Ōtani.[10] In the 4Kids and Funimation English adaptations, his voice is supplied by Lisa Ortiz and Brina Palencia, respectively.[11][12]
When creating Chopper, Oda stated that he wanted a mascot who is both cute and fearless.[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] Oda said that the message he wanted to illustrate in regards to Chopper's family situation is that a person who is not blood-related to another person can still be considered as a member of one's family.[15]
Nico Robin
"Devil Child"[n 6] Nico Robin (ニコ・ロビン, Niko Robin) is an archaeologist originating from Ohara (オハラ), home of the world's largest and oldest library; she becomes an archaeologist at the age of eight[ch. 391f.] and learns how to decipher the writings on the ancient stones called Poneglyph (歴史の本文(ポーネグリフ), Pōnegurifu), which are scattered around the world. However, the World Government destroys the island for housing archaeologists along with her returning mother, Nico Olvia (ニコ・オルビア, Niko Orubia), researching these stones.[ch. 395] As a result, Robin cooperates with various pirates and other outlaws, eventually becoming a member of Baroque Works as its vice president, nicknamed as "Ms. All-Sunday" (ミス・オールサンデー, Misu Ōrusandē) at the time, being briefly an antagonist to the Straw Hat Pirates before joining them.[ch. 398] Like the scholars of Ohara before her, it is her dream to find and decipher the Rio Poneglyph (真の歴史の本文(リオ・ポーネグリフ), Rio Pōnegurifu), which is said to tell the world's lost history.[ch. 218] Her devotion to history and its preservation goes so far that she will even risk her life to protect ancient artifacts and buildings.[ch. 264] Robin ate the Paramecia-type Flower-Flower Fruit (ハナハナの実, Hana Hana no Mi), allowing her to create temporary copies of parts of her body on surfaces near her.[ch. 170] However, if her replicated parts are hurt, she feels the pain on her actual body. Two years later, she can make giant copies of parts of her body, and clones of herself.[ch. 265] In the original Japanese series, Robin's voice actress is Yuriko Yamaguchi.[16] In the 4Kids English adaptation, her codename was changed to Miss Sunday and she is voiced by Veronica Taylor.[11] In the Funimation English adaptation, her voice was supplied by Stephanie Young.[17]
Franky
Originally named Cutty Flam (カティ・フラム, Kati Furamu), he eventually starts calling himself Franky (フランキー, Furankī) to hide his identity,[ch. 352] gains infamy as "Cyborg" Franky (サイボーグ フランキー, Saibōgu Furankī),[ch. 435] and becomes shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates.[ch. 437] Abandoned by his pirate parents on the Grand Line island Water 7 at the age of ten,[ch. 427] Franky becomes an apprentice to the master shipwright Tom along with Iceburg, who later becomes the island's mayor.[ch. 354] When Tom is taken away as a criminal by the World Government for building Gold Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, Franky tries to stop them.[ch. 357] In the process, he is severely injured and, to survive, rebuilds parts of his body using pieces of scrap metal,[ch. 358] turning himself into a cola-powered cyborg with super-human strength.[ch. 336, 339, 352] His dream is to build a ship, become its shipwright, and sail it to the end of the world. To that end, he builds the Thousand Sunny, a brigantine-rigged sloop-of-war, and joins the Straw Hat Pirates.[citation needed] In the anime adaptation, his voice actor is Kazuki Yao.[18] Patrick Seitz provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.[19]
Brook
"Dead Bones"[n 7] (formerly "Humming"[n 8]) Brook (ブルック, Burukku)[ch. 489], is a musician. Brook is a living skeleton, resurrected by the Paramecia-type Revive-Revive Fruit (ヨミヨミの実, Yomi Yomi no Mi), which grants the user a second life.[ch. 443] He is an excellent musician, who claims to be able to play any instrument, although he is usually seen playing the violin.[ch. 486] He is also a skilled fencer, who uses a shikomizue (a Japanese cane sword), in battle. Brook can hypnotize people with his music.[ch. 454] His lightweight skeleton body allows him to jump extraordinarily high[ch. 493] and to run across water.[ch. 443] He has a very childish and energetic personality.[ch. 442f.] When Brook's crew, the "Rumbar Pirates", enters the Grand Line, they leave their pet whale "Laboon" behind at Reverse Mountain, promising to return after sailing around the world.[ch. 487] Fifty years later, Brook considers it his duty to fulfill his former crew's promise. After the timeskip, it is revealed that he can separate his spirit to move individually of his body similar to Perona (at the time being it is unknown if Brook's body can move or not in this state).[ch. 459] He is voiced by Chō.[20] The idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in 2000.[21]

The middle sister, Boa Sandersonia (ボア・サンダーソニア, Boa Sandāsonia), ate the anaconda model. The youngest sister, Boa Marigold (ボア・マリーゴールド, Boa Marīgōrudo) ate the cobra model.

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 due to being a slave. But he had escaped the World Nobles and during his escape he freed other mermen/fishmen and Boa Hancock and her two sisters. With the Sun insignia the World Government was unable to claim the slaves due to mass confusion if they were Sun Pirates or not.[ch. 620] Other members include Arlong, Macro, Choo, Kuroobi and Hatchan.

He went on to say, "he never really cared for Buggy", but the Impel Down arc turned him into an "engaging character".[45] He said that he believes that Buggy's being set up as a regular character because he was "afraid he might lose him".[46] 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."[47]

Jango and Fullbody are both romantically attracted to their commanding officer, Captain Hina. Jango's weapons of choice are chakrams which he uses for slashing. He can also perform One, Two, Jango (ワン・ツー・ジャンゴ, Wan, Tsū, Jango) by dangling the chakram on a string like a pendulum to hypnotize his opponent, although he sometimes hypnotizes himself in the process. His character is based on Michael Jackson, due to his tendency to moonwalk whenever he travels and the way he dances. He also has physical similarities to the pop star.

Reception
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 further notes that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development".[77] Todd Douglass, Jr. of DVD talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of charm.[78] 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", but 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."[79]
Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".[80] 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."[81] 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.[82][83] 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".[84] 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."[7]
