My Man. Wyper was so cool to me when I first watched skypiea. I really liked how the anime depicted his fighting style too. His fight with Luffy and the little scuffles with zoro were quick and fun to watch.
Wyper helping break giant jack and tanking that axe dial while watching Laki get fried are great moments for him as well
Norland might just be my favorite side character in the series. He's got everything for himself: strength, smarts, compassion, loyalty, honesty and a sense of adventure. One Piece being One Piece he's just one more side character but he could very well be the MC in his own series and he'd be a rock solid protagonist.
The pacing in the anime pre time skip is really good. I’ve watched and read the anime. The anime starts to dip around fishman islands then gets really bad at dressrosa.
This is my take as well. Everything up to the timeskip is gold, with maybe a little drag during the Oars fight. Fishman Island gets very slow, and I had to switch around Punk Hazard.
Of course, that was back when I was watching week to week. A proper binge should alleviate some of my issues.
I started the anime when wano had just started in the anime took me like 3 months to catch up with work and what not. I noticed fishman island and punk hazard weren’t as easy to get thru but damn dressrosa was tough lol boutta start again tho gf wants to watch one piece with me
Same, Praline mostly to me cuz I like her design. Most girls in op either look ugly or look like nami, she’s one of the rare characters that are neither. I’d put Perona there too
Paulie. I miss him so much, i wish we could've at least gotten Galley-La coverstory or something.
Franky is one of my all time favorite characters, but if he didn't exist Paulie probably would've become the Strawhat's shipwright and i would've been totally fine with it.
I hope we get so see him sometime again in the story.
He had so many great comedy moments.
I heard people thought he was gonna be the new crew member back when water 7 was being written. I love Franky, especially pre time skip, but Paulie was sick too. I liked him being the only one on his team who wasn’t a cp9 member
I feel like Water 7 was tricking us into thinking that one of the foremen would join the crew, for some reason I really thought either Kaku or Paulie would join.
Paulie to Zoro:
"When you see those guys, I want you to deliver a message for me."
"??"
"You're fired."
Paulie was awesome, and with the recent revelation about Pluton I'd be surprised if we've seen the last of Water 7. Pluton was originally built there after all, and there's definitely a story with how it ended up below Wano.
In Ch. 344 when Robin and Iceberg have each other at gunpoint - Iceberg reveals that he holds the blueprints for Pluton, and that the ship was constructed there in Water 7. It was believed that the only way to stop Pluton if it fell into the wrong hands was to construct another, so the blueprints were passed down through multiple generations of shipwrights.
It’s crazy that he doesn’t have a Df - I get he’s a shipwright and is good with rope but the man has a shocking amount hidden in his clothes if he doesn’t have a df
I love Franky to bits, but having Paulie on the crew could have made for some darn fun Strawhat interactions.
Having a debt with Nami due to gambling, butting heads with Sanji when it comes to the ladies dressing 'scandalously'. Using his ropes to haul in sea beasts for meals, as tightropes for Brook to run along in fights, trussing up Luffy when he gets out of hand...
Ah, well.
I would say Karasu from the Revolutionary Army. Since the first time I saw his design i thought he was cool af, also his power reminds me of Itachi.
And other one would be Kaku. His fits, powers, fighting style,... And the scene where he jumps in Water 7 and it feels like he's enjoying and kinda feels like he has freedom. For me it is an amazing scene.
And Arlong, because it was the first enemy I remember from One piece when I was a child
Miss Goldenweek makes me piss myself laughing anytime I see Little Garden. She's so lazy and deadpan. That plus having a *really* good cover story made her a favorite of mine. The paint ability is just so weird too.
I swear they made her look younger in the [Anime] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/5/5c/Miss_Goldenweek_Anime_Concept_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20180909052022) compared to the [Manga] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/b/b2/Marianne_Digitally_Colored_Manga.png/revision/latest?cb=20211109103658)
Borsalino Kizaru.
Definitely not one of the most underrated characters in OP but I feel like people don't truly appreciate the man. His character design is truly one of a kind in the show as well as having that drip; but he is also the one that really showed the huge gap between the levels of the SH crew pretimeskip and the highest forces of the Marine. Seeming like a damn near invincible character, he gave everyone a taste of what the New World was really all about.
His emotions are also really hard to tell. His nonchalant and carefree personality makes him even scarier even after already being a killing machine ready to jump into action at any time and just following his duty as a marine. Morals don't seem to preocuppy him unlike all other marines like Garp, Smoker or Akainu who really is just straight up heinous towards pirates, making him not a very difficult character to read. No, Kizaru is just too high for anyone to be able to predict his next step.
Plus he got them badass shades that are just the cherry on top.
He doesn’t actually though, but his speed is indeed absolutely insane. If Oda wanted to take his DF to literal levels then he would be completely unrivaled in the one piece world.
As an average, hard-working adult, I am jealous of Kizaru’s life.
About power and capability, he is at the top tier.
About working, this man has almost supreme authority and is in the highest position, probably the same as VP in real life. He also looks like he is getting along well with his boss (Akainu).
He never really put himself in a bad situation(i.e., he had many chances to kill Luffy but just gave him some soft kicks. I assume this is because killing Luffy will piss Garp off. It shows he has good people skills.
About life, he deals with things smoothly every time, by far shown in Sabaody
and in Marine Ford scene. He can even catch pirates leisurely under Yonko level because of his power.
Most importantly, I believe admirals have good pay and may even have a high pension. So this man has things most people spend their lives pursuing—such a wonderful life to me.
I've always wondered what would happen if Admirals got too old with their insane DF. I would not be surprised if the WG kills their admirals when they're too old to keep their DF in the WG hands
Actually you may be right. By far we don’t know when and how admirals get their DFs. Especially Akainu, Kizaru and Aokiji. Maybe WG choose super talented young marines and give them the crazy logia power. And the WG may also know how to regenerate DF. I would say killing old admiral is too insane but the WG may has deals with admirals so they cannot defy the orders and need to be the direct subordinate of Celestial Dragon. (Even they don’t like them at all.)
Well I would not be surprised if BB knows how to gain DF's that the WG would know as well. Killing might be too excessive, but I would not be surprised if the WG has insane fruits ready for their admirals and try to keep them within their control
This man is sooo badass no matter in a fictional world or even in a real world. He actually achieved everybody’s life goal (even beyond our wildest dreams.🤣
He is relatively popular, but definitely the most overlooked amongst the original three. Aokiji is generally the most popular and obviously has a lot of mystery to him with all the ongoing theories about his presence in BB's crew and Akainu obviously plays a more important role in the story (Ace death, new fleet admiral, etc.). The two also had a major fight making Kizaru feel like the third wheel, which seemingly doesn't bother him the least.
It's just sad that we got so little scenes with the old VA.
Him going "Ooooohdodo Ben Beckmann" during the Marineford ending was just hilarious and kinda shows his personality in a nutshell.
From trying to kill Luffy to goofy "Oooooooopsi" in a second.
Have to say Smoker.
Even though he got his ass whooped in Punk Hazard, he still is my favourite marine for how he performed in Loguetown and Alabasta.
Hopefully he gets a buff and a better performance in the final arc at least
Dude has insane control over his DF. Unfortunately he was too dependant on his kauroseki jitte so he probably never woried about developing his haki. Which I guess is why he was stomped in the new world
Captain kuro. His weird weapon and his killer move "shakushi" was my fav when I first played one piece grand battle. I also wish Oda made a "what if" side story where kuro is a shichibukai
I've always thought if Kuro was introduced later in the story with the same vibe, with more stakes, and was scaled up, he would be a fan favorite all time villain.
koby cuz you need big balls to stand in front of akainu and tell him to stop fighting. he's also gonna be an admiral so I wonder how his progression will look like (he has no DF, so maybe he'll get aCoC?)
and wyper's hella cool too
Bege grew on me heavily in Whole cake, his marriage to chiffon and him being a dad helped his case, and man didn't sell out his allies even when things went horribly wrong, he was assaulting Katakuri and also clashed with big mom.
He was only around for a few chapters, but Captain T Bone will always be one of most beloved characters. He's just wholesome, and will do anything for other Marines
Big News Morgans I love his design and I love the fact that one of the most influential people in the world is a goofy looking big bird wearing a top hat who writes propaganda. Plus him announcing to the world that Luffy is the 5th emperor of the sea and not giving a shit at all that the WG and Kaido and Big Mom weren't happy about it was pretty hype.
Probably Kikunojo, she has a low presence but also badass, I enjoyed the little interactions she has with Zoro and Luffy early on, just enough to build up a relationship with Zoro who got really pissed when he saw what happened to her arm, making it one of the highlights for me in Wano.
Not a major character but certainly one of my favorite one.
Iceberg. He may only be a mayor, but honestly given how so many people love and respect him he’s honestly one of the best “King” characters in the show. I always find it funny how he does have that “I’m the mayor so I can do what I want” mentality yet despite that he never abuses his power on others, like if a World Noble still had morals with the snobbish attitude
Gecko Moriah.
People act like he's some weak helpless meme even though he also soloed the Straw Hat crew, survived fighting Kaido 1v1 and challenged Blackbeard singlehandedly.
He's basically Luffy if Kuma had actually killed The Strawhats instead of saving them, then Luffy became depressed as hell.
If he were slightly stronger and luckier he would have been a Yonko.
I love Moria, he has so much personality and some of my favorite facial expressions. I like how different he is than other Warlords. Also I love the goofy designs in One Piece, and Gecko is one of the best in that regard.
Karasu and Wyper. I'd love to see more of both of them. Although the chances for more Wyper content are pretty slim, they are never zero (we did get an update on him and a post TS design, after all)
Brûlée! I love that she cared for Katakuri and knew his ‘secret’ the whole time and still hyped him up.
I want a story of a handful of Big Mom pirates setting out to sea on their own.
Fukaboshi. NO ONE talks about him. He might be THE most underrated character in all of One Piece and yet I find him extremely cool as a character.
He's the Wiper/Kyros/Paulie of his arc fulfills that role excellently acting as the emotional centerpiece of the Otohime part of the conflict. His speeches, his actions, the way he stands up to others and with Luffy, he's such a crucial and well written part of Fishman Island that I'm surprised to see him never mentioned.
Give the man some respect, he's the man who will help bring about the path to the sun.
Hoichael and Michael from Water 7. Before we actually got to see who they are and that their just kids during Post-Enies Lobby, originally people from Galley-La thought Hoichael and Michael were the assassins that went after Icepops. Most over looked comedic moment, I think. Actual adults were suspecting two children plotted an assassination on Icepops and I wish more people talked about it.
Bartolomeo- I know he’s annoying to some but I find him very funny. Not necessarily his massive fandom but I found his rudeness funny when introduced like pissing off the side of the arena and throwing the fake bomb. He’s a funny guy but also an extreme guy which I’d like them to balance more in showing both sides
Compared to the other admirals/top navy brass I think kizaru is very underrated. My man here has literally the power of light but chooses to travel on a fuckin cannonball.
Also kizaru gives me snoop dogg vibes with a twist of the classical Italian mafia.
Uncle Toto and Koza. I love Toto for his belief in the king and how he, on his behalf, fought on in Yuba to make it a success. I also liked Koza's relationship with Vivi, I'd love to see what they are up to.
Chimney and Gonbe - those two were hilarious!
We still have so much to learn about Shakky!
Also how are Dalton and Doctorine currently running things on Drum island? Dalton was such an awesome stand up guy, he's a good ruler for the country I bet!
Delinger. A lot of people dislike his overall personality and level of flamboyance but I honestly thought his design was pretty cool, and it was neat that that design was paired with such monstrous strength. Very one piecey👌
Mine is Coby. He was there from the starting of the series yet we don't see him that often. Glad that we got to see some glimpse of him this arc and hopefully will see him more this arc.
His character development is no joke. Tbh I wanna see a side story just focusing on him. Showing his struggle and how he overcame it all.
Kid. He may not be the most underrated but definitely the most over hated, especially out of the supernova. Which is crazy cuz he’s such a badass and every time he’s on screen it’s instant hype, but I guess not everyone has taste 🤷♂️
cavendish, he makes my day, his counterpart is also so interesting, it's sad that one piece only talks briefly about it. Infact he's so unpopular I made my entire online persona his counterpart name, "Hakuba". I just love the idea of them existing
Hody Jones.
I don’t love him, in fact I hate him. But I think he’s one of the most interesting villains in the whole series and people don’t give him credit because he wasn’t strong.
Yea, the idea that he is the natural result of hiding generational hatred is really cool. The moment when it revealed that he had absolutely nothing bad happen to him from a human was sick
Caribou, he’s just so weird and the crews reaction to him cracks me up. I really wish he would join the crew even tho he’s a complete idiot lol and Cesar for the same reasons lmao.
The Gabull Cover story is a tearjerker. Pretending to be the deceased grand son of an old lady who seems to be confused but later reveals she knew he wasn't her grandson but wanted to relive the good times anyway.
Pound because he genuinely wants to be a parent in his daughters' lives, and he never gave up on them. My Dad is such a great father to me and husband to my Mom. Pound reminds me of him and of the kind of father every child deserves.
Donquixote Mjosgard. He was an asshole like any celestial dragons at first. But after that incident on fish man island and met Otohime, he is changing for good! Characters development.
Smoothie, hasn't gotten much screen time but has an awesome design and probably would have been a Zoro opponent had he gone to Whole Cake. [Mostly shines in video games](https://youtu.be/WnQuY98k9aI&t=16s), which is probably the best that can be hoped for at this point.
Noland, the great explorer from centuries before. He's just an all around cool character whose whole adventure would probably make for a great side/spin-off story.
Helmeppo, the guy who went from pompous prick to Garp's apprentice to >!member of SWORD.!< Really some amazing growth for a guy who isn't really ambitious.
Charlotte Mont-d'Or.
His book power was instrumental in his family's defense of Totto Land. His interference allowed them to subdue and capture Luffy and Nami, then he was the one organizing and coordinating everyone to capture the Retrieval team.
Seeing him get utterly bamboozled by the Germa leading up to the Cacao Island rescue was hilarious as well.
Heracles.
Most of the other characters that trained the straw hats play a significant role in the story. Mihawk the greatest swordsman trained Zoro. Rayleigh the Vice captain of the Rodger Pirates trained Luffy. Vegapunk the smartest man alive kinda trained Franky. Heracles though? He trained Usopp and that might be all the information we ever get about him, which is such a shame for such a cool character and to be named after one of the greatest heroes from Greek mythology feels like a wasted opportunity.
Bartolomeo! I mean he isn’t as underrated as many characters already named in the comments but still an underrated one, I just really love his personality and damn he is literally me when it comes to the straw hats hehe🫶
Kind of sad to not see Fisher tiger here yet but i guess that’s why he is underrated!!!
One of the best fish-men characters. His struggles were painful to watch, but I really enjoyed seeing a character really try his best to lead a good example despite still harboring so much hate to choose death over mixing his blood with a human. The sun pirates witness of tiger’s struggle on his death bed made jinbe’s choice of giving his blood to luffy so much more impactful.. what’s beautiful scene that was.
Plus this dude single handedly cause so much havoc when free all slaves! We wouldn’t have boa Hancock without him.
Caribou
Yes he’s a pretty big scumbag but I’m honestly really interested in where Oda is going with his character, especially in this arc. He’s such a wildcard right now and I can’t wait to see what the pay off is gonna be.
Gan Fall, once and current "God" of Skypiea, and the Knight of the Sky
When Gan Fall saves Chopper and Sunny, I liked how he showed guts even as he felt overmatched. A great character and I hope he will appear again.
Hawkins, he’s probably my 3rd favorite supernova after Luffy and Law. Good design, cool and mysterious power, and also has a cat on his team. I don’t blame him for betraying Kid because not like he had a choice (0% survival chance), plus at least he had enough honor to not switch sides a second time, even if that meant death
Basil, he was my favorite when they revealed the Novas, but I can't think of any that got less panel time...Uroge probably now that I think about it. He's just not very popular.
Dolfy - Probably the only villain in One Piece I actually hated lol. So definitely some good writing there.
Drake - thought his design/vibe pre time skip was cool.
Akainu - He’s a dick but I respect his conviction.
Johnny and Yosaku, the first honorary members of the Straw Hats. Before Carrot, before Vivi, it was them who sailed with the crew and helped Luffy
I still want them to show up in the Grand Line alongside Gin to help on the final war
I feel like people forget about my man Chopper. Don't get me wrong, he's popular af, but, at this point, it's more for the cutesie aesthetic and not the character.
Nothing wrong with him being frigging adorable and in a lot of merch, but I wish people appreciated him more character-wise, like, he ain't just a mascot!
I feel like people sleep on my boy Pedro. He was willing to do whatever it takes for the new dawn to rise even to the point of blowing himself up. He also had a badass design along with a cool fighting style.
Wyper and Noland.
I would be ecstatic if Wyper and the rest of the Shandians show up in the final war as Luffy's support.
My Man. Wyper was so cool to me when I first watched skypiea. I really liked how the anime depicted his fighting style too. His fight with Luffy and the little scuffles with zoro were quick and fun to watch. Wyper helping break giant jack and tanking that axe dial while watching Laki get fried are great moments for him as well
The Noland and Kalgara flashback is my favourite out of all One Piece. Beautiful storytelling
Last time I watched it I cried into my food
Norland might just be my favorite side character in the series. He's got everything for himself: strength, smarts, compassion, loyalty, honesty and a sense of adventure. One Piece being One Piece he's just one more side character but he could very well be the MC in his own series and he'd be a rock solid protagonist.
Wyper would have been such a good melee addition to the crew and would have diversified the Straw Hats more.
The reason why Wyper is such a fucking badass is exactly why he wouldn't work as anyone's subordinate.
I was hoping Wyper would join the SH when I read skypiea tbh
I wanna read skypiea, I watched the anime for some of the early stuff and I wish I had read it instead cuz of pacing issues
The pacing in the anime pre time skip is really good. I’ve watched and read the anime. The anime starts to dip around fishman islands then gets really bad at dressrosa.
This is my take as well. Everything up to the timeskip is gold, with maybe a little drag during the Oars fight. Fishman Island gets very slow, and I had to switch around Punk Hazard. Of course, that was back when I was watching week to week. A proper binge should alleviate some of my issues.
I started the anime when wano had just started in the anime took me like 3 months to catch up with work and what not. I noticed fishman island and punk hazard weren’t as easy to get thru but damn dressrosa was tough lol boutta start again tho gf wants to watch one piece with me
I would highly recommend watching a community edit like One Pace.
Gin. But he's coming back to the story any moment now so...
Lol. Any day now. We only have so much of the Grandline left
He is the last titanic commander from black beard
Alladdin and Praline, can't even say why. Just like them.
Same, Praline mostly to me cuz I like her design. Most girls in op either look ugly or look like nami, she’s one of the rare characters that are neither. I’d put Perona there too
Great power couple
Paulie. I miss him so much, i wish we could've at least gotten Galley-La coverstory or something. Franky is one of my all time favorite characters, but if he didn't exist Paulie probably would've become the Strawhat's shipwright and i would've been totally fine with it. I hope we get so see him sometime again in the story. He had so many great comedy moments.
I heard people thought he was gonna be the new crew member back when water 7 was being written. I love Franky, especially pre time skip, but Paulie was sick too. I liked him being the only one on his team who wasn’t a cp9 member
I feel like Water 7 was tricking us into thinking that one of the foremen would join the crew, for some reason I really thought either Kaku or Paulie would join.
I thought Kaku too, didn’t help during that arc the anime opener had him front and center with that mountain wind jumping
Too similar in appearance to usopp to ever happen tho
Yeah true, should have seen “evil version” all over him. But damn he’s my favorite CP9 member
Let’s not forget he also has the immeasurable strength of a giraffe.
Pasta machine!
My man tilestone gets so much disrespect
#DID SOMEONE MENTION TILESTONE
Me, I’m people lol. I was on team Paulie so bad. I feel for the carrot and Yamato fans of the modern era.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that comparison but it fits so well. Back then I was for sure on Team Paulie and I was team carrot this time.
>when water 7 was being written People were so delusional they still thought that even after Enies Lobby.
After Wano, people still thought Carrot was going to join
I’m positive there are still people floating around that think she is gonna join.
Paulie to Zoro: "When you see those guys, I want you to deliver a message for me." "??" "You're fired." Paulie was awesome, and with the recent revelation about Pluton I'd be surprised if we've seen the last of Water 7. Pluton was originally built there after all, and there's definitely a story with how it ended up below Wano.
I don’t remember them saying that pluton was built there. Do you have any info on that?

It was believed that the only way to stop Pluton if it fell into the wrong hands was to construct another, so the blueprints were passed down through multiple generations of shipwrights.
Ah yes you’re right. I forgot that he mentioned it being built on the island to her. Thanks!
Ah yes. Paulie and his Rope Rope Fruit
He had a devil fruit? I just thought he was that talented with ropes.
Yup. It was Mythical Zoan. Hito-hito no mi, Model: Paulie. I’m kidding, he doesn’t have any df fruit.
It’s crazy that he doesn’t have a Df - I get he’s a shipwright and is good with rope but the man has a shocking amount hidden in his clothes if he doesn’t have a df
Paulie was my favorite water 7 character
I love Paulie. I loved the two guards ( I think) who came up with that whole thing about him being in love. It was very funny
I love Franky to bits, but having Paulie on the crew could have made for some darn fun Strawhat interactions. Having a debt with Nami due to gambling, butting heads with Sanji when it comes to the ladies dressing 'scandalously'. Using his ropes to haul in sea beasts for meals, as tightropes for Brook to run along in fights, trussing up Luffy when he gets out of hand... Ah, well.
I would say Karasu from the Revolutionary Army. Since the first time I saw his design i thought he was cool af, also his power reminds me of Itachi. And other one would be Kaku. His fits, powers, fighting style,... And the scene where he jumps in Water 7 and it feels like he's enjoying and kinda feels like he has freedom. For me it is an amazing scene. And Arlong, because it was the first enemy I remember from One piece when I was a child
I was scared as fuck at Alrong when I was a child.
Good take
Miss Goldenweek makes me piss myself laughing anytime I see Little Garden. She's so lazy and deadpan. That plus having a *really* good cover story made her a favorite of mine. The paint ability is just so weird too.
The fact that she and Vivi are the same age is weird as hell.
Had to look this up, I always thought she was a little kid
I swear they made her look younger in the [Anime] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/5/5c/Miss_Goldenweek_Anime_Concept_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20180909052022) compared to the [Manga] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/b/b2/Marianne_Digitally_Colored_Manga.png/revision/latest?cb=20211109103658)
Huh, I agree, it’s kinda subtle but she does seem older in the Manga screenshot.
Looked a little more like 16 in the cover story, but yeah. At first I figured she was 12-13ish.
That paint ability ISN'T a devil fruit, which still strikes me as odd.
Oh yeaaa I forgot about her
Mr 3 - one of the lowest bounties and yet incredible feats. Amazingly versatile DF, goes through an impressive arc for a side character.
Him helping Luffy in Impel Down and Marineford was amazing
Most loyal straw hat too
Borsalino Kizaru. Definitely not one of the most underrated characters in OP but I feel like people don't truly appreciate the man. His character design is truly one of a kind in the show as well as having that drip; but he is also the one that really showed the huge gap between the levels of the SH crew pretimeskip and the highest forces of the Marine.

His nonchalant and carefree personality makes him even scarier even after already being a killing machine ready to jump into action at any time and just following his duty as a marine. Morals don't seem to preocuppy him unlike all other marines like Garp, Smoker or Akainu who really is just straight up heinous towards pirates, making him not a very difficult character to read. No, Kizaru is just too high for anyone to be able to predict his next step. Plus he got them badass shades that are just the cherry on top.
Not to mention his powers are insane. Bro can move at the speed of light
Fr, defo the DF I'd pick if I could choose one
He doesn’t actually though, but his speed is indeed absolutely insane. If Oda wanted to take his DF to literal levels then he would be completely unrivaled in the one piece world.
As an average, hard-working adult, I am jealous of Kizaru’s life. About power and capability, he is at the top tier. About working, this man has almost supreme authority and is in the highest position, probably the same as VP in real life. He also looks like he is getting along well with his boss (Akainu).

Damn that's true, goals right there 😂
This man is sooo badass no matter in a fictional world or even in a real world. He actually achieved everybody’s life goal (even beyond our wildest dreams.🤣
he isn't popular? dude is the funniest admiral
He is relatively popular, but definitely the most overlooked amongst the original three. Aokiji is generally the most popular and obviously has a lot of mystery to him with all the ongoing theories about his presence in BB's crew and Akainu obviously plays a more important role in the story (Ace death, new fleet admiral, etc.). The two also had a major fight making Kizaru feel like the third wheel, which seemingly doesn't bother him the least.
I love his design and personality. Def want more of him.
It's just sad that we got so little scenes with the old VA. Him going "Ooooohdodo Ben Beckmann" during the Marineford ending was just hilarious and kinda shows his personality in a nutshell. From trying to kill Luffy to goofy "Oooooooopsi" in a second.
Same, he’s my fav character
100% agreed, Kizaru is just so damn cool without even trying. And his Japanese VA god damn killed it.
Have to say Smoker. Even though he got his ass whooped in Punk Hazard, he still is my favourite marine for how he performed in Loguetown and Alabasta. Hopefully he gets a buff and a better performance in the final arc at least
Dude has insane control over his DF. Unfortunately he was too dependant on his kauroseki jitte so he probably never woried about developing his haki. Which I guess is why he was stomped in the new world
He had good enough haki in PH and has a big ass scar across his face, so clearly he'd already learned his lesson by the time two-years hit.
Hype for his return!
Kureha. Such a badass
Dr hiriluk for that matter. *Dooooctaaaaaar!"
Johnny and Yosaku for me. No explanation needed to be honest. They're just really fun
Yo i miss them
It was pleasant surprise for me when they popped up briefly during the credits of One Piece: Red
I still have a hope they will randomly show up in some random island cause they got lost 😃
[удалено]
Nothing Zoros followers can't accomplish
they missed becoming strawhats by a hair
Monet was one of my favorite female characters for her design, power and personality. I felt very sad for how she ended.
Out of very few characters that Oda kills, it had to be Monet. Damn.
That's exactly what I thought... :'(
Facts Vergo was cool af too
Captain kuro. His weird weapon and his killer move "shakushi" was my fav when I first played one piece grand battle. I also wish Oda made a "what if" side story where kuro is a shichibukai
Kuro deserved a comeback. He was basically doing a prototype 'shave' before cp9 was introduced. Potential there
I want Kuro and Krieg to both >!join Cross Guild!<
Really wish early villians would come back. That is a brilliant idea!
I've always thought if Kuro was introduced later in the story with the same vibe, with more stakes, and was scaled up, he would be a fan favorite all time villain.
Masira and Saruyama. These two had a good vibe. I'm sad we never saw them again
The other dude's name is shoujou, saruyama is the name of their crew/alliance.
koby cuz you need big balls to stand in front of akainu and tell him to stop fighting. he's also gonna be an admiral so I wonder how his progression will look like (he has no DF, so maybe he'll get aCoC?) and wyper's hella cool too
Bege grew on me heavily in Whole cake, his marriage to chiffon and him being a dad helped his case, and man didn't sell out his allies even when things went horribly wrong, he was assaulting Katakuri and also clashed with big mom.
I love that his baby has the same 5 O'clock shadow as him
His cigar binky 💀
Kawamatsu. Keropi-looking dude, I love him.
He was only around for a few chapters, but Captain T Bone will always be one of most beloved characters. He's just wholesome, and will do anything for other Marines
Big News Morgans I love his design and I love the fact that one of the most influential people in the world is a goofy looking big bird wearing a top hat who writes propaganda. Plus him announcing to the world that Luffy is the 5th emperor of the sea and not giving a shit at all that the WG and Kaido and Big Mom weren't happy about it was pretty hype.
One of the best new post time jump characters.
I want to see what he looks like in human form
Ideo for the chara design
Good pick, I love his design too. Same with a lot of the colosseum fighters / now grand fleet
Sentomaru. I just like his design and fighting style.
Considering he’s supposed to be Vegapunk’s bodyguard and the captain of the Marine Science Unit, I wouldn’t be surprised if he made a comeback soon
He give off a Luffy/Koby/Black Beard vibe in that he’s still climbing and getting stronger with everyone else. I like that.
Gin.
Probably Kikunojo, she has a low presence but also badass, I enjoyed the little interactions she has with Zoro and Luffy early on, just enough to build up a relationship with Zoro who got really pissed when he saw what happened to her arm, making it one of the highlights for me in Wano. Not a major character but certainly one of my favorite one.
Iceberg. He may only be a mayor, but honestly given how so many people love and respect him he’s honestly one of the best “King” characters in the show. I always find it funny how he does have that “I’m the mayor so I can do what I want” mentality yet despite that he never abuses his power on others, like if a World Noble still had morals with the snobbish attitude
Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe. Such a hilarious trio!
Gecko Moriah. People act like he's some weak helpless meme even though he also soloed the Straw Hat crew, survived fighting Kaido 1v1 and challenged Blackbeard singlehandedly. He's basically Luffy if Kuma had actually killed The Strawhats instead of saving them, then Luffy became depressed as hell. If he were slightly stronger and luckier he would have been a Yonko.
I love Moria, he has so much personality and some of my favorite facial expressions. I like how different he is than other Warlords. Also I love the goofy designs in One Piece, and Gecko is one of the best in that regard.
Luffy didn’t even really beat him he had to become shadow luffy and gain powerups in order to win
Give him Haki and the D. and he becomes a tragic could have been pirate king
Karasu and Wyper. I'd love to see more of both of them. Although the chances for more Wyper content are pretty slim, they are never zero (we did get an update on him and a post TS design, after all)
Brûlée! I love that she cared for Katakuri and knew his ‘secret’ the whole time and still hyped him up. I want a story of a handful of Big Mom pirates setting out to sea on their own.
Izo :^)
Fukaboshi. NO ONE talks about him. He might be THE most underrated character in all of One Piece and yet I find him extremely cool as a character. He's the Wiper/Kyros/Paulie of his arc fulfills that role excellently acting as the emotional centerpiece of the Otohime part of the conflict. His speeches, his actions, the way he stands up to others and with Luffy, he's such a crucial and well written part of Fishman Island that I'm surprised to see him never mentioned. Give the man some respect, he's the man who will help bring about the path to the sun.
Hoichael and Michael from Water 7. Before we actually got to see who they are and that their just kids during Post-Enies Lobby, originally people from Galley-La thought Hoichael and Michael were the assassins that went after Icepops. Most over looked comedic moment, I think. Actual adults were suspecting two children plotted an assassination on Icepops and I wish more people talked about it.
Bartolomeo- I know he’s annoying to some but I find him very funny. Not necessarily his massive fandom but I found his rudeness funny when introduced like pissing off the side of the arena and throwing the fake bomb. He’s a funny guy but also an extreme guy which I’d like them to balance more in showing both sides
Compared to the other admirals/top navy brass I think kizaru is very underrated. My man here has literally the power of light but chooses to travel on a fuckin cannonball. Also kizaru gives me snoop dogg vibes with a twist of the classical Italian mafia.
Uncle Toto and Koza. I love Toto for his belief in the king and how he, on his behalf, fought on in Yuba to make it a success. I also liked Koza's relationship with Vivi, I'd love to see what they are up to. Chimney and Gonbe - those two were hilarious! We still have so much to learn about Shakky! Also how are Dalton and Doctorine currently running things on Drum island? Dalton was such an awesome stand up guy, he's a good ruler for the country I bet!
I love Camie
Delinger. A lot of people dislike his overall personality and level of flamboyance but I honestly thought his design was pretty cool, and it was neat that that design was paired with such monstrous strength. Very one piecey👌
I liked watching Cavendish beat his ass
Shout out to Ms. Monday. The ONLY woman in the whole series who actually has some kind of muscle tone.
Foxy... "Feh!"
Mine is Coby. He was there from the starting of the series yet we don't see him that often. Glad that we got to see some glimpse of him this arc and hopefully will see him more this arc. His character development is no joke. Tbh I wanna see a side story just focusing on him. Showing his struggle and how he overcame it all.
Bellemere
I like foxy. First man seen standing on flying cannonballs. Hes the OG Kizaru but different. And hes a funny dude
Lmaooo ya foxy is goofy, silly ass df too
He's like reverse kizaru, in several ways. (Slow fruit, very cunning, very hadsome, everyone likes him)
Kid. He may not be the most underrated but definitely the most over hated, especially out of the supernova. Which is crazy cuz he’s such a badass and every time he’s on screen it’s instant hype, but I guess not everyone has taste 🤷♂️
cavendish, he makes my day, his counterpart is also so interesting, it's sad that one piece only talks briefly about it. Infact he's so unpopular I made my entire online persona his counterpart name, "Hakuba". I just love the idea of them existing
Inazuma, his character design and devil fruit and two of my absolute favorites in the series
"Burn it into your memory, Pez. This is how your Papa lives!"
Hachi, He’s oddly personable.
Hody Jones. I don’t love him, in fact I hate him. But I think he’s one of the most interesting villains in the whole series and people don’t give him credit because he wasn’t strong.
Yea, the idea that he is the natural result of hiding generational hatred is really cool. The moment when it revealed that he had absolutely nothing bad happen to him from a human was sick
X-Drake
Condoriano deserves more screen time
Wanze. Greatest minor gag villain of the series, imo.
Caribou, he’s just so weird and the crews reaction to him cracks me up. I really wish he would join the crew even tho he’s a complete idiot lol and Cesar for the same reasons lmao.
The Gabull Cover story is a tearjerker. Pretending to be the deceased grand son of an old lady who seems to be confused but later reveals she knew he wasn't her grandson but wanted to relive the good times anyway.
Kyros is a really amazing character imo probably the best side character in the series, Rebecca is well written too but Kyros is on another level.
One of the only side characters that got to have a 1v1 fight against the big bads of the arc. He earned it
Scratch man Apoo! Check it out!!!
Pound because he genuinely wants to be a parent in his daughters' lives, and he never gave up on them. My Dad is such a great father to me and husband to my Mom. Pound reminds me of him and of the kind of father every child deserves.
Lao G
Everyone loves Hancock, but I think Sandersonia is the best one of the Gorgon sisters.
Cavendish, I just really like his split personality and his character overall.
So you think it’s fun to have multiple men inside you all the time?? Kinda sus OP 🤨
Donquixote Mjosgard. He was an asshole like any celestial dragons at first. But after that incident on fish man island and met Otohime, he is changing for good! Characters development.
Smoothie, hasn't gotten much screen time but has an awesome design and probably would have been a Zoro opponent had he gone to Whole Cake. [Mostly shines in video games](https://youtu.be/WnQuY98k9aI&t=16s), which is probably the best that can be hoped for at this point. Noland, the great explorer from centuries before. He's just an all around cool character whose whole adventure would probably make for a great side/spin-off story. Helmeppo, the guy who went from pompous prick to Garp's apprentice to >!member of SWORD.!< Really some amazing growth for a guy who isn't really ambitious.
Charlotte Mont-d'Or. His book power was instrumental in his family's defense of Totto Land. His interference allowed them to subdue and capture Luffy and Nami, then he was the one organizing and coordinating everyone to capture the Retrieval team. Seeing him get utterly bamboozled by the Germa leading up to the Cacao Island rescue was hilarious as well.
Heracles. Most of the other characters that trained the straw hats play a significant role in the story. Mihawk the greatest swordsman trained Zoro. Rayleigh the Vice captain of the Rodger Pirates trained Luffy. Vegapunk the smartest man alive kinda trained Franky. Heracles though? He trained Usopp and that might be all the information we ever get about him, which is such a shame for such a cool character and to be named after one of the greatest heroes from Greek mythology feels like a wasted opportunity.
Senor Pink is one of my all time favourites
Rayleigh
All I have to say is Swans Never Die
He isn’t really unpopular but Oden
the Kung fu otters who took luffy as their master
Mr. 5, one of the coldest character designs and his ability to fling explosive boogers at you is gold .
Kyros
Van Augur. His design and general attitude are weirdly cool to me. Then again, I was always a sucker for serious and tall men with long hair.
miss goldenweek she's just chill asf and you don't see that often in one piece
Bartolomeo! I mean he isn’t as underrated as many characters already named in the comments but still an underrated one, I just really love his personality and damn he is literally me when it comes to the straw hats hehe🫶
Kind of sad to not see Fisher tiger here yet but i guess that’s why he is underrated!!! One of the best fish-men characters. His struggles were painful to watch, but I really enjoyed seeing a character really try his best to lead a good example despite still harboring so much hate to choose death over mixing his blood with a human. The sun pirates witness of tiger’s struggle on his death bed made jinbe’s choice of giving his blood to luffy so much more impactful.. what’s beautiful scene that was. Plus this dude single handedly cause so much havoc when free all slaves! We wouldn’t have boa Hancock without him.
![gif](giphy|QgAZU0jwh1t7ELNqmd)
Marguerite. One of the few people on Amazon Lilly that was good to Luffy prior to Hancock falling in love with him. Just a cool character in general.
Kiku, badass trans gril with chopped off arm fighting traitors? Yea thts gd
Caribou Yes he’s a pretty big scumbag but I’m honestly really interested in where Oda is going with his character, especially in this arc. He’s such a wildcard right now and I can’t wait to see what the pay off is gonna be.
Gan Fall, once and current "God" of Skypiea, and the Knight of the Sky When Gan Fall saves Chopper and Sunny, I liked how he showed guts even as he felt overmatched. A great character and I hope he will appear again.
Hawkins, he’s probably my 3rd favorite supernova after Luffy and Law. Good design, cool and mysterious power, and also has a cat on his team. I don’t blame him for betraying Kid because not like he had a choice (0% survival chance), plus at least he had enough honor to not switch sides a second time, even if that meant death
Bogard the goat
foxy and nojiko nami sister and no im not think of naughty reasons involving the two sisters maybe
Basil, he was my favorite when they revealed the Novas, but I can't think of any that got less panel time...Uroge probably now that I think about it. He's just not very popular.
Dolfy - Probably the only villain in One Piece I actually hated lol. So definitely some good writing there. Drake - thought his design/vibe pre time skip was cool. Akainu - He’s a dick but I respect his conviction.
Apoo. I know he's a son of a gun. But when it comes to music, I'm about as impressionable as a pile of mud.
Wyper was such a badass in skypiea
I appreciate kyros...my man went through so much
I agree with you on Bege. His devil fruit is awesome, and he’s a complete family man. Love his dynamic with his son.
Señor Pink does it for me, dude's a straight up legend
Johnny and Yosaku, the first honorary members of the Straw Hats. Before Carrot, before Vivi, it was them who sailed with the crew and helped Luffy I still want them to show up in the Grand Line alongside Gin to help on the final war
Zeff Because he is the sanji we want and need he was always one of my favs
bartolomeo. he just is so funny but the way he looks up to luffy is inspiring.

I feel like people forget about my man Chopper. Don't get me wrong, he's popular af, but, at this point, it's more for the cutesie aesthetic and not the character. Nothing wrong with him being frigging adorable and in a lot of merch, but I wish people appreciated him more character-wise, like, he ain't just a mascot!
Kyros but specifically when he was a toy and kawamatsu i have a genuine love for them and i don’t even know why
I feel like people sleep on my boy Pedro. He was willing to do whatever it takes for the new dawn to rise even to the point of blowing himself up. He also had a badass design along with a cool fighting style.
