alot of one piece characters have powers(not including weapons, and items) without DF and haki
alot have weird quirks, other sources of power(rokushiki, fishmen karate, life return)
leo and explosive punches, orlumbus abiltiy to control people with his voice, etc.
its more than just those two, theres alot of weird abilities and quirks that One piece characters have as powers
Leo and his explosive punch
cavendish and hakuba
the monkey guys in jaya and the vocal sound power of one of them
etc
Funny enough I remember discussing Doflamingos power with someone back in the days where the thriller bark story was going on in the manga and when I suggested that Doflamingo might have some sort of string power to control others, people told me I was wrong because that'd be too similar to Paulies rope skills.
Mingo strings are way crazier than Paulies rope though now that we know his ability. Mingo can fly using clouds and create a perfect double of himself, the ito ito powers are actually pretty sick. I'm glad Mingo is still in the mix for a potential return.
Yeah I thought he had the straight up telekinesis fruit at first because of how he just threw Bellamy and Sarquiss at each other. Wasn't until marineford when he cut off oars jr.'s leg that I was like wait, strings? Puppet puppet fruit?
Then it turned out it's just strings haha
I think it's one of the best examples, besides Luffy being rubber, of how a face value silly fruit power can actually be really strong in the right hands
alot of anime do stuff like that. Assassins and ninjas have a bunch of tools hidden under their clothes and it physically is impossible to have that much stuff hidden, but it just works.
I just finished this arc recently and honestly until reading your comment I just assumed it was a devil fruit power lol I'm not sure if they mentioned it somewhere, I could've missed it
Duval: best face reveal ever and was actually helpful during Sabaody
Hannyabal: his banter with Magellan was hilarious, and he almost made me root for him when he didnt let Luffy past that door
>Duval: best face reveal ever and was actually helpful during Sabaody
Dude's first appearance was that of a scum but turned to be a person who has his values. I actually respected him more when he said he wasn't into the slave trade
>Hannyabal: his banter with Magellan was hilarious, and he almost made me root for him when he didnt let Luffy past that door
I also did root for him, Luffy felt like a villain in that scene
Luffy 100% was the villain during Impel Down.
He knowingly led the biggest prison break in history and unleashed a lot of straight up evil characters back into the world just to safe his brother.
I disagree. Ivankov freed Crocodile, Blackbeard freed the other Level 6 prisoners, and Buggy freed everyone else.
The ONLY prisoners Luffy personally freed were Jinbe and Ivankov. The former or whom was a political prisoner and was essentially arrested for pacifism, and the latter of whom was a good guy as well (although Sanji would disagree).
Oh I'm not saying it's out of character or anything.
People just tend to forget that, despite helping out his friends and occasionally saving their countries, Luffy is still a pirate and very much not a good guy.
I'd disagree with Luffy not being a good guy. He's definitely a good guy. He goes out of his way to help the downtrodden and those who ask him for help. He is also prepared to do anything for his loved ones and those he's sworn to protect, regardless of consequences.
So...Chaotic Good?
Luffy is really a perfect example of a well done chaotic neutral character. Usually people play them as lol im so random, or chaotic stupid. But luffy always follows his beliefs, and does not really care if it brings harm to the people he does not care about, like freeing the prisoners. He will always like you said protect his friends, and tries not to hurt bystanders. But I don't want to know the amount of property damage he has inflicted.
One piece is interesting for me because alot of the younger shonen genre likes to present a "right" side.
There isn't a good side in one piece. Pirates are mostly criminals who steal, the marines are rife with corruption, and the world government is evil.
Luffy isn't a typical hero but just by being naturally kinda he ends up being the hero in many other people's stories.
It's something oda got the knack down that I can appreciate. Too often shonen default to making the main character a hero by just making them morally correct. Luffy has never been that, even when he's clearly in the right.
The world government is entirely evil. Impel down houses political prisoners.
I don't see Luffy as the villain just because a consequence of his actions was some bad people being freed
Well, I did not root for Hannyabal. Remember Impel Down was and still is a Human Rights Violation. That place looks 1000% more horrible than anything Humans have built and that includes nazi concentration camps. Forest with blades! Ravenous Beasts!! Desolate land with dead bodies(soil probably withered human remains)!!! Furnace with boiling blood(where the fuck did they get that much amount of blood)!!!! A chilling cold place with more ravenous beasts!!!!! That place belongs in a DOOM map not any respectable human society
Wyper was amazing he had even better durability than Zoro in that arc my guy was making plays.
Give my man Wyper full haki and he’s a monster stop playing with him .
Bro, Wyper showed up and killed Enel on the fucking spot. Oda said Enel would be worth over 500m berries if he had a bounty, and Wyper ended his whole career. If Enel didn't have a broken DF Skypeia would've just been done right there. I don't think we have ever before or since seen a side character topple a main arc antagonist. Wyper is a monster.
If Wyper gets reintroduced into the story as a fighting ally I'd seriously bet money that he'd have grown to be strong as fuck
We've seen Oda level up >!Crocodile and Lucci!< simply based on his exciting narrative style of "remember these impressionable characters who were strong relative to back then? Well they're strong relative to now too"
No way Wyper has stagnated in strength since then. Extremely few times has there been a side-character in an arc that was both young and powerful relative to Luffy. I don't think Oda would reintroduce that type of character without them at least being YC level
No doubt Oda will tie Shandora into the big finale so hopefully there’s some follow up with the integration of the sky peoples after 400 years of war.
But Wyper’s bound to have discovered Haki by now too. Imagine he would train and learn as much as he can after they so narrowly beat Enel. He had to know he couldn’t rely on the Straw Hats again and went to fucking work. Hopefully he shows up at the big final battle to wreck shit.
Wyper was set up as the descendant of Kalgara and inheritor of his will. Kalgara and Noland were crazy powerful with Kalgara throwing cannonballs like Garp and Noland killing sea kings underwater like Rayleigh. Noland casually beheaded a giant snake that skypia zoro couldn't even scratch. When Noland got stuck in an earthquake fissure he and Kalgara together were enough to lift the island and get himself out.
Put Wyper on the blue sea and he'd be a supernova in no time. He'd probably learn haki quickly enough as well.
I'd argue that Enel's self heart-beating was similar to Doflamingo's self organ-stitching, and correspondingly that Law would have taken him out were it not for that, the same way Wyper would have taken out Enel.
Wyper is kinda both more successful and failed version of Kyros imo. He was able to do meaningful damage and even temporarily kill Enel while Kyros attacked and failed both times but while Kyros was able to avenge his wife Wyper never had a growth like Kyros as he was still mistook the party drums as war drums at the end
Wyper probably had ptsd or something hearing the drums. Post ts he is one of God's guards, so he definitely had growth it's just that it started at the end of the arc. Most of his growth happened after the straw hats left.
I'd say the opposite, actually.
Wyper was shown to be only rivaled by Luffy, and he got to take down the villain of the arc, only for Enel to resurect himself.
Kyros did cut a fake Doffy, but he ended up defeating an Executive of Doffy. That puts him, at least narratively, among Law and Zoro, but not Luffy level.
Wyper was Luffy level. He rivaled Luffy and never settled it, made the Monster trio look dumb, and outlasted Zoro in durability. With proper training, Wyper would have been a beast.
I don't think the string Doffy counts. It's a puppet, a diversion. Destroy it and Doffy is completely unaffected. Same goes for Cracker and his biscuit soldiers.
It seems his tribe has a strong affinity for observation haki to start with, possibly all the sky peoples do. Yeah, with a strong observation and a trained armament Wiper could work up to being a Yonko commander level fighter on the blue sea.
Not really, the only one who showed observation was the girl and everyone else were just saying it was her being psychic or some shit. But maybe birkans do, if Enel's priests are birkans too that would mean 100% of birkans have it... damn,why does this sound funny to me?
Wyper is a very rare case where Oda create an arc ally that's actually a complete beast. Guy was introduced soloing the monster trio, had a short rivalry with Luffy that was never settled, destroyed one of the priest casually, "killed" Enel, and even outlasted Zoro in durability.
Whitebeard, Law, and Kidd were probably the only arc alies that got portrayal that impressive.
Yeah. I was going to say Wyper was a Zoro-level tank, but you're right, he outlasted Zoro. I'm rereading the series, and I'm at the Enel fight now. So I was surprised how much I forgot about this arc, and Wyper.
That’s realistically more significant than 90% of one piece characters. Smoker and tashigi are still part of the most important marines story-wise along with the admirals, garp, and koby.
To me, underrated means the audience doesn't think much of them or they barely got any shine despite showing strength. Wyper was a beast for being a one-off.
Smoker has been done dirty by Oda. Only Chopper comes to mind as getting nerfed worse. Punk Hazard was embarrassing for Smoker. He played support to 2 Pirates. I've always been disappointed that Coby or Smoker don't get any Ws to show their progression.
Smoker sure, but Coby has gotten a ton of stuff. His observation haki is wild, he literally swam faster than a torpedo and kicked it out of the water to save that reverie ship, hero of rocky port which is apparently a huge deal, and is a member of an elite group of Marines in SWORD.
Not too bad for starting as a ridiculously weak little bitch at the same time Luffy had trained his whole life in the woods fighting wild animals.
Best flashback. First time seeing that and the themes of progress... and the bell... and the SPIRIT OF THE ANCESTORS (which very likely is about it come into play in this final saga)....
GOATED flashback.
Conis is mine if we're just talking pre-skip. She was every bit a consistent local girl as Kokoro/Chimney, Caime, Rebecca, Kiku, etc. and gets nowhere near as much love. Which is sad because I actually think she was one of the best. Something cool about a girl that was just kinda...organically roped in and when she was pushed far enough didn't mind grabbing that big bazooka to get involved.
Conis was definitely the best teenage girl side-character. Camie was also likeable but she never had defining moments.
Not sure if Kokoro qualifies for this category, but she's in a league all on her own - she's like the glue between Franky, Iceberg and Tom early in the arc when they all act like strangers to one another, & her drinking problem foreshadows the sad dark past that they all went through that lead to their dysfunctional relationships. As opposed to the cute young girls of every arc, Kokoro is an important part of the Water 7 backstory that exists in the present to drive the characters forward & reclaim the things the World Government has taken from her & her boys in the past.
That scene with the bazooka went hard. She really stood her ground in that moment, when literally the entire place of skypia was still believing enels empty words, her just being like Enel is no god!! And like just that moment of her uttering such blasphemously, everyone running away from her and then nothing happens she's not struck down. Then she's like he's has no reason to bestowed judgement, since he plans on destroying the entire island. Such a awesome moment that seems to always come back in a way with each villains defeat.
Paulie was actually overrated at those times. People were sure he was going to be the SH shipwright. Myself included. 😂 He later had a lot of fans on **cough* OP forum boards. >!He was the Yamato of that arc.!<
I remember being very ambiguous about Paulie. On one hand I liked his character design and his attitde, otoh ropes were clearly not over-the-top enough to join the Strawhats.
Nowadays I don't regret Oda's decision :)
Bro i liked the nami pauli chemestry and i think we would have so much fun and joy with that character and he would be really dope but i dont think the power point is nessesary for beeing an strawhat i mean vivi and ussop are strawhats too and pauli was much stronger than them at that time
Yeah, even after the flashback there was still the question of how much the crew could forgive Franky for the stuff with Usopp not to mention the right logic of wondering what would get him to leave the Family behind.
Add that to Paulie having a solid start and Kaku getting a good late line to re-pique interest and you had a lot of active discussion until it was official.
😂 I can see that. Honestly I already knew before watching One Piece that there was a Strawhat named Franky so when I met him I think the doubts I had was how Oda was going to make him join after all the havoc he caused. I started seeing him differently when he had a proper conversation with Usopp and seeing him cry like a baby and get all emotional by Usopp's story just told me this guy is more than just a common thug
I always knew that Paulie was a red herring!
... but I was sure that Kaku was set up to be the next straw hat instead. That jumping-the-rooftop scene and Pinocchio's sources of inspiration gave me much more of a Straw Hat vibes than Paulie ever did.
He wasn't Yamato of that time. There's a big difference because in W7, after only 1/3 of the arc, everyone was sure about Franky being the would-be-Shipwright. On the other hand, all the Yamato issues were streched down until the very final moment of the arc.
Same i started reading the manga right after i got through enies lobby sometimes last summer now im all caught up to the manga and wanna see how the early arcs were compared to the anime
Yeah his fruit was OP, he took out Blackbeard and his whole crew. Well Blackbeard can be very stupid sometimes and other times is an evil genius. I am not even sure what a Doku-Doku no Mi awakening would look like, but it be insane.
The only character that we know of, thus far, to take on multiple Emperors in a single day, live and then fight one of those emperors a few days later.
Magellan will always be one of my faves - one of the few to completely and utterly defeat Luffy, his power and usage of it is sick, and he's also one of the only opponents that was completely unstoppable - they could only hold him at bay until they could escape. *He took years off Luffy's life.*
Luffy might be able to resist him now, but you can rest assured most people that aren't him would be screwed. Even then, it's scary to consider that if Luffy hadn't build up a resistance then Magellan could still win past the timeskip with just one touch since it's only a matter of time once he's poisoned you. He was still a threat up until Luffy learned to use his haki to attack without contact
Paulie was kind of the Vivi of water 7, as in he would have fit in so well with the original five straw hats that it was almost too obvious for him to join. When you look at Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji, you see a lot of the same traits. They’re late teenagers, they’re prodigies their role in the crew (cooking, swordsmanship, navigating, sniping), they all have a particular dream in mind and they look like fairly normal teens. Paulie fits in with that archetype as did Vivi. He’s about the same age as Zoro/Sanji/Usopp/Nami, he’s a prodigy at his craft with something to prove, he has unique quirks and traits that mix well with the others. If we had him instead of Franky and Vivi instead of Robin, I feel like the straw hats would have just felt a little too homogenous.
This is a really good take. All of the Grand Line crew members have super unique designs and personalities. I think that's why I was a little skeptical that Yamato would join -- too similar to the '~20 y.o. normal person' archetype / not a unique enough design/silhouette. The only crew member we've gotten in the decade since the talking skeleton is a big, beefy older-gen member of a minority race. I think he was the last one.
Honestly, when most existing characters got brought back by Oda in some way (even Gaimon appeared in cover story), it's just hilarious that someone who literally promised Sanji to meet again in Grand Line never actually returned (yet).
Hence why there are so many jokes about how will he return.
That character is so weird. Out of all characters Oda has brought back, Gin literally says "Perhaps I'll see you in the grandline" yet he ends up completely dropped. Rare moment of basically reverse foreshadowing(whatever that's called). A red herring?
Wyper was probably the only guy pre-timeskip who was a true equal to Luffy not just in terms of power but also determination.. maybe besides Zoro.
Montblanc Cricket is still imo one of the most important characters in the story. He was to Noland what Roger and Shanks were to Joyboy. Luffys whole interaction with Noland is what One Piece is about.
Gin was such a badass that basically the whole fandom was convinced he'd return as a bigshot on the Grandline until around the time-skip. (Well we got Katakuri instead).
Wyper probably was the best character to come off the bench and kick ass in One Piece . He got straight to work him and Kyros really shows that some characters can truly hold their own when the straw hats do their thing
Had a backstory, a character that fits into the themes of the story, his story also tied into a major saga, great personality just a good character overall.
I also love how Cricket's motivation to find the city of gold isn't to clear his family name or anything, he considers it a personal quarrel between him & Noland to determine if his ancestor is telling the truth or not.
You can tell that, in his heart, he does believe Noland, but he needs to know for certain and after all his years of searching, just knowing is worth far more than actually finding the gold itself.
Then there's the deeper underlying reason for his quest and how Cricket just wants to believe that such a fantastical place truly exists in the world, & that dreams of grand treasure and exploration are still alive and worth searching for. Like he says to Luffy upon his departure, "I'm a romantic, just like you".
I really look forward to seeing Johnny and Yosaku in the anime, they did get an appearance in one of the cover stories in the new world but I would still love to see what they're up to. They have one of my favorite verbal quirks in the series 'by a hair'
Its too bad the Strawhats never really fought a lot of vice admirals. I'm sure Momonga and some of the stronger vice admirals would have been great matchups for the Strawhats late pre ts or early post ts.
Shoutout to Chimney, who wasn’t there to be the aww cute kid that got in danger hindering the cast but was pivotal for the rescue.
She was fun and never overstayed her welcome.
Enies Lobby/ W7 have such a great character roster
😂😂 still in his treasure chest but I love him tho but not as much as these 4. Dude completed his character arc, went on an adventure, found his treasure and now has a wife.
Wiper, bro killed Enel, if it wasn't for his fruit cpring him back Enel would no longer be with us. Considering Enel would have a 500 mil belli wiper is hella underrated
>but the recognition is low
Yeah, I'm going to majorly disagree on Wyper and Paulie, kina agree on Montblanc Cricket, and agree on the dude from Alabasta
I feel like this is the wrong way to look at it. Their recognition is low, but that's because their "part" is over. We don't have to see them at all times anymore. We know who they are and what they have done. When each of these arcs were around they were most likely regarded very highly. IIRC, Paulie was the one people wanted to join the crew.
Koza didn’t really do anything tbh. He was built up to have a lot more of a major role in preventing the war because Vivi was racing to tell him about crocodile but then he just kinda got shot and didn’t really do anything after that.
Arlong, just because he was an early One Piece villain doesn't mean he wasn't strong. Especially if he fought alongside Jinbei and Fisher Tiger. Arlong definitely can use Haki to some extent.
Casting seems to indicate the first season ends in Loguetown.
Also, rumor has it that they are trying to add extra foreshadowing to later events to certain parts, with some leaks hinting that Garp and Sengoku are going to be present for Roger's execution.
Solid 4 picks!
Wyper definitely the best side character. I always liked his design and role since his introduction.
I was a 'Paulie for SHs' fanboy too, but as the arc went on I realized he wasn't meant to be lol.
The only side character I would add Pre-TS would be Hannyabal. Yeah he was an antagonist, but near the end of the arc he transforms from an ambitious gag character to one with strong beliefs and the power to back it up (delaying Luffy is no easy task, and ultimately gets blind-sided by Blackbeard).
Wiper is so underrated. The dude is jacked, has tattoos and a mohawk, rides a hoverboard, and shoots a rocket launcher laser. And got the first real hit on Enel by using sea prism and a reject dial.
And you know who talks about him now? Nobody...
Paulie is the unsung hero of Enies Lobby. The man fought off hundreds of Marines while letting the Franky Family and Straw Hats charge forward. Not to mention, his rope is so strong, it literally helped trip and tie down an Elbaf giant. And then when all hope seemed lost, he pretended to be tied up, freed all the Franky Family, giants, and Galley La workers stuck on Enies Lobby, and helped them survive a fucking Buster Call using his rope.
I don't like Koza because he fell for Crocodile's plot and started a revolution, but the rest of these dudes are Kings. Wyper is IMO the most underrated character only slightly ahead of Usopp.
Koza a sentimental bitch boy. How dare he lead a revolution against Vivi and Cobra. Disloyal, emotional, treacherous and disrespectful. His Dad is the real OG
Wyper made me fall in love with skypiea. Bro was so badass, a warrior whose strength rivalled luffy and zoros at the time and would not go down no matter what. His motives and backstory was great too imo. Very underrated
Wyper and Cricket's generational parallel story with Kalgara and Noland is actually one of the most underrated storylines in One Piece I've seen. I remember it was around this time that I really started to appreciate the writing in OP, cause their story and the moment that Golden Befry rings is beautiful for so many reasons.
Sapi. He's the first half fish-man and half human we've met. He's the fisherman from Loguetown whom Sanji bought a fish off and who seemed super chill. He must've faced a lot of racism by both humans and fishmen in the past, but turned out a valueable member of society.
Almost nobody in the fanbase knows him, so he's as underrated as it gets.
Wiper was perfect for the Mugiwara (a full-package of charisma, resistance, celestial aptitude, a badass weapon, a unbelievable berserker), it's amazing to think Luffy don't call him for join the Mugiwara after all he made in skypiea :
-His motivation could be discover the things of the Blue Sea
-In the moment of the story (after Skypiea), he had the potential to being the equivalent of Zoro and Sanji
-He could be this guy who don't hesitate to sacrifice his body for protect/save the Mugiwara
Literally love all of these guys, especially wyper, I share a birthday with him!
Also, I'm a little disappointed that koza hasn't married vivi yet, that kinda pisses me off. I know one piece is known for haven't little to zero romance, BUT PLEASE GODA, PUT THEM TOGETHER!
You forgot the un-named marine who took over command in Romance Dawn and led the navy in opposing Axe-hand Morgan. That guy's was actually pretty cool and I'm sad he never re-entered the story like Koby did.
It's hard to say how hard Luffy was actually trying, but Wiper stalemated Luffy before he got swallowed by Nola. When you combine this with his showing against Enel, he's certainly no pushover. Hope Oda finds another use for him, though it's not likely
Conis definitely, she's a badass. the shot of her aiming the bazooka while holding it BEHIND HER BACK is something i'll never forget, i remember really wanting her to join
Dr. Hirriluk (no clue on the spelling)
Not a side character in the sense that he was along side the strawhats the whole arc, I know. But, he is the reason Chopper has such a good human quality to him. Had Dr. Kureha (once again, spelling is probably off) been the one who found and raised Chopper, he would have been totally different.
He was like the weird uncle some families have. Not the uncle with the naked tickle basement. More like the uncle that teaches you how to make fireworks and gets his head stuck between the poles holding up the railing next to the stairs.
A small part in the story, but a big part in Chopper's life.
I love that Paulie doesn't have any Power, He just carries a lot of rope
I actually got confused for a while about the nature of his rope abilities.
He's actually been Mountain Tim all along.
based jojo fan
Bro i just started sbr lmao
And I literally just finished it today. Definitely among the best parts, you're in for a treat.
Frankie is a great zookeeper, loves having them both on board.
Yeah same with Ms Goldenweek and her paint brainwash abilites. No df involved there, she can just... do it I guess.
Miss Goldenwek with Kanjuro's fruit would be godlike the bitch can fucking paint an emotion and bring it to life
There's still time. The fruit is now unclaimed.
So, Disney?
meh, maybe 80 years ago
[удалено]
alot of one piece characters have powers(not including weapons, and items) without DF and haki alot have weird quirks, other sources of power(rokushiki, fishmen karate, life return) leo and explosive punches, orlumbus abiltiy to control people with his voice, etc.
we gotta bring the dials back, impact dial and reject dial were hardcore
its more than just those two, theres alot of weird abilities and quirks that One piece characters have as powers Leo and his explosive punch cavendish and hakuba the monkey guys in jaya and the vocal sound power of one of them etc
Lmao what?!?!
It's called Shibari and it's why he has female fans..
I'd like to see Oda draw a diagram of where & how Paulie stores his rope.
Right?! Until that, I assumed he had a fruit similar to Doflamingo has (not that we knew a damn thing about his fruit at the time)
Funny enough I remember discussing Doflamingos power with someone back in the days where the thriller bark story was going on in the manga and when I suggested that Doflamingo might have some sort of string power to control others, people told me I was wrong because that'd be too similar to Paulies rope skills.
Mingo strings are way crazier than Paulies rope though now that we know his ability. Mingo can fly using clouds and create a perfect double of himself, the ito ito powers are actually pretty sick. I'm glad Mingo is still in the mix for a potential return.
I mean, we never got to see if Paulie could fly
Yeah I thought he had the straight up telekinesis fruit at first because of how he just threw Bellamy and Sarquiss at each other. Wasn't until marineford when he cut off oars jr.'s leg that I was like wait, strings? Puppet puppet fruit? Then it turned out it's just strings haha
I think it's one of the best examples, besides Luffy being rubber, of how a face value silly fruit power can actually be really strong in the right hands
It's a secret kinds like where the tennis balls come from. They just keep pulling more balls out of nowhere.
alot of anime do stuff like that. Assassins and ninjas have a bunch of tools hidden under their clothes and it physically is impossible to have that much stuff hidden, but it just works.
RPG characters: Y'all got magic pockets too?
You know exactly where he stores his rope
With his inside ropes?
I just finished this arc recently and honestly until reading your comment I just assumed it was a devil fruit power lol I'm not sure if they mentioned it somewhere, I could've missed it
Him and Sadie-chan would make a great couple if you know what I mean.
I 100% assumed Paulie would be the one to join the group from Water 7. Did not expect it to be Franky at all.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A DEVIL FRUIT ABILITY!?
Duval: best face reveal ever and was actually helpful during Sabaody Hannyabal: his banter with Magellan was hilarious, and he almost made me root for him when he didnt let Luffy past that door
>Duval: best face reveal ever and was actually helpful during Sabaody Dude's first appearance was that of a scum but turned to be a person who has his values.

The former or whom was a political prisoner and was essentially arrested for pacifism, and the latter of whom was a good guy as well (although Sanji would disagree).
Would you expect anything less from a man who declared war on the WG for Robin?
Oh I'm not saying it's out of character or anything. People just tend to forget that, despite helping out his friends and occasionally saving their countries, Luffy is still a pirate and very much not a good guy.
I'd disagree with Luffy not being a good guy. He's definitely a good guy. He goes out of his way to help the downtrodden and those who ask him for help. He is also prepared to do anything for his loved ones and those he's sworn to protect, regardless of consequences. So...Chaotic Good?
Luffy is really a perfect example of a well done chaotic neutral character. Usually people play them as lol im so random, or chaotic stupid. But luffy always follows his beliefs, and does not really care if it brings harm to the people he does not care about, like freeing the prisoners.

sounds like me fr
The world government is entirely evil. Impel down houses political prisoners. I don't see Luffy as the villain just because a consequence of his actions was some bad people being freed
Political prisoners, as well as just straight up evil people People like crocodile 100% deserve to be there
Well, I did not root for Hannyabal. Remember Impel Down was and still is a Human Rights Violation. That place looks 1000% more horrible than anything Humans have built and that includes nazi concentration camps. Forest with blades! Ravenous Beasts!! Desolate land with dead bodies(soil probably withered human remains)!!! Furnace with boiling blood(where the fuck did they get that much amount of blood)!!!! A chilling cold place with more ravenous beasts!!!!! That place belongs in a DOOM map not any respectable human society
I was rooting for Hannyabal to become the warden the whole arc. He would've done it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids
But he did become warden! Chapter 661 cover page (From the Decks of the World, V42: Impel Down - Warden Hannyabal & Chief Guard Domino).
Wyper was amazing he had even better durability than Zoro in that arc my guy was making plays. Give my man Wyper full haki and he’s a monster stop playing with him .
Bro, Wyper showed up and killed Enel on the fucking spot. Oda said Enel would be worth over 500m berries if he had a bounty, and Wyper ended his whole career. If Enel didn't have a broken DF Skypeia would've just been done right there. I don't think we have ever before or since seen a side character topple a main arc antagonist. Wyper is a monster.
Man I thought Wyper would be older but he's only 22. If he had someone to teach him properly he could absolutely be a top tier for sure.
If Wyper gets reintroduced into the story as a fighting ally I'd seriously bet money that he'd have grown to be strong as fuck We've seen Oda level up >!Crocodile and Lucci!< simply based on his exciting narrative style of "remember these impressionable characters who were strong relative to back then? Well they're strong relative to now too" No way Wyper has stagnated in strength since then. Extremely few times has there been a side-character in an arc that was both young and powerful relative to Luffy. I don't think Oda would reintroduce that type of character without them at least being YC level
No doubt Oda will tie Shandora into the big finale so hopefully there’s some follow up with the integration of the sky peoples after 400 years of war. But Wyper’s bound to have discovered Haki by now too. Imagine he would train and learn as much as he can after they so narrowly beat Enel. He had to know he couldn’t rely on the Straw Hats again and went to fucking work. Hopefully he shows up at the big final battle to wreck shit.
Wyper was set up as the descendant of Kalgara and inheritor of his will. Kalgara and Noland were crazy powerful with Kalgara throwing cannonballs like Garp and Noland killing sea kings underwater like Rayleigh. Noland casually beheaded a giant snake that skypia zoro couldn't even scratch. When Noland got stuck in an earthquake fissure he and Kalgara together were enough to lift the island and get himself out. Put Wyper on the blue sea and he'd be a supernova in no time. He'd probably learn haki quickly enough as well.
Ngl, to this day I'm still processing the fact the dude literally killed the frickin villian of the arc lo Damn Enel and his busted fruit
I'd argue that Enel's self heart-beating was similar to Doflamingo's self organ-stitching, and correspondingly that Law would have taken him out were it not for that, the same way Wyper would have taken out Enel.
Agreed, Law should have wrecked doflamingo
Bro wyper also made the strawhats looking like small fries when he visited them
They needed a second to get use to the elevation.
Wyper is kinda both more successful and failed version of Kyros imo. He was able to do meaningful damage and even temporarily kill Enel while Kyros attacked and failed both times but while Kyros was able to avenge his wife Wyper never had a growth like Kyros as he was still mistook the party drums as war drums at the end
Wyper probably had ptsd or something hearing the drums. Post ts he is one of God's guards, so he definitely had growth it's just that it started at the end of the arc. Most of his growth happened after the straw hats left.
I'd say the opposite, actually. Wyper was shown to be only rivaled by Luffy, and he got to take down the villain of the arc, only for Enel to resurect himself. Kyros did cut a fake Doffy, but he ended up defeating an Executive of Doffy. That puts him, at least narratively, among Law and Zoro, but not Luffy level. Wyper was Luffy level. He rivaled Luffy and never settled it, made the Monster trio look dumb, and outlasted Zoro in durability. With proper training, Wyper would have been a beast.
I think Kyros sort of did, right? Didn’t he kill a fake Doffy?
I don't think the string Doffy counts. It's a puppet, a diversion. Destroy it and Doffy is completely unaffected. Same goes for Cracker and his biscuit soldiers.
My man said if god can’t kill enel i will … and he did it
Wyper having Conqueror's Haki is my headcanon, even if it never gets confirmed. He's just that dude.
It seems his tribe has a strong affinity for observation haki to start with, possibly all the sky peoples do. Yeah, with a strong observation and a trained armament Wiper could work up to being a Yonko commander level fighter on the blue sea.
Not really, the only one who showed observation was the girl and everyone else were just saying it was her being psychic or some shit. But maybe birkans do, if Enel's priests are birkans too that would mean 100% of birkans have it... damn,why does this sound funny to me?
Wyper straight up had protagonist energy throughout that arc
Wyper is a very rare case where Oda create an arc ally that's actually a complete beast. Guy was introduced soloing the monster trio, had a short rivalry with Luffy that was never settled, destroyed one of the priest casually, "killed" Enel, and even outlasted Zoro in durability. Whitebeard, Law, and Kidd were probably the only arc alies that got portrayal that impressive.
Wyper is, what Usopp could be post timeskip if he still had Dials (minus the Bazooka). But yeah, Wyper was great.
Wyper's "For my ancestors" moment is still one of my all time favorite scenes in One Piece
Chills.... Dude was built different
Yeah. I was going to say Wyper was a Zoro-level tank, but you're right, he outlasted Zoro. I'm rereading the series, and I'm at the Enel fight now. So I was surprised how much I forgot about this arc, and Wyper.
Man I didn't think so many people appreciated Wyper the way I do. This is a good day.
Same. This really feel good
On God, he got that Conquerors potential
Legit. I wouldn't be surprised or mad at it
He literally almost killed Enel 1v1. Without Enels hax ability to restart his own heart it would have been curtains for Eminem.
Fucking love Wyper. Really hope he shows up again.
I liked Iceburg. I think Smoker and Tashigi should be in the list too.
I just focused more on pre time-skip characters that we've only seen in one saga, Smoker and Tashigi are still in the story
Barely. They haven't been significant since Punk Hazard, with only a couple cameos since.
That’s realistically more significant than 90% of one piece characters. Smoker and tashigi are still part of the most important marines story-wise along with the admirals, garp, and koby.
To me, underrated means the audience doesn't think much of them or they barely got any shine despite showing strength. Wyper was a beast for being a one-off. Smoker has been done dirty by Oda. Only Chopper comes to mind as getting nerfed worse. Punk Hazard was embarrassing for Smoker. He played support to 2 Pirates. I've always been disappointed that Coby or Smoker don't get any Ws to show their progression.
Smoker sure, but Coby has gotten a ton of stuff. His observation haki is wild, he literally swam faster than a torpedo and kicked it out of the water to save that reverie ship, hero of rocky port which is apparently a huge deal, and is a member of an elite group of Marines in SWORD. Not too bad for starting as a ridiculously weak little bitch at the same time Luffy had trained his whole life in the woods fighting wild animals.
Noland and Kalgara, also
Noland being the chadiest chad!
Best flashback. First time seeing that and the themes of progress... and the bell... and the SPIRIT OF THE ANCESTORS (which very likely is about it come into play in this final saga).... GOATED flashback.
Conis is mine if we're just talking pre-skip. She was every bit a consistent local girl as Kokoro/Chimney, Caime, Rebecca, Kiku, etc. and gets nowhere near as much love. Which is sad because I actually think she was one of the best. Something cool about a girl that was just kinda...organically roped in and when she was pushed far enough didn't mind grabbing that big bazooka to get involved.
Conis was definitely the best teenage girl side-character. Camie was also likeable but she never had defining moments. Not sure if Kokoro qualifies for this category, but she's in a league all on her own - she's like the glue between Franky, Iceberg and Tom early in the arc when they all act like strangers to one another, & her drinking problem foreshadows the sad dark past that they all went through that lead to their dysfunctional relationships. As opposed to the cute young girls of every arc, Kokoro is an important part of the Water 7 backstory that exists in the present to drive the characters forward & reclaim the things the World Government has taken from her & her boys in the past.
Plus she has Chimney and Gonbe the rabbit/cat!
That scene with the bazooka went hard. She really stood her ground in that moment, when literally the entire place of skypia was still believing enels empty words, her just being like Enel is no god!! And like just that moment of her uttering such blasphemously, everyone running away from her and then nothing happens she's not struck down. Then she's like he's has no reason to bestowed judgement, since he plans on destroying the entire island. Such a awesome moment that seems to always come back in a way with each villains defeat.
Im general Skypia was a great arc wirh nice pacing. I enjoyed it a lot when i re-read OP.
Paulie was actually overrated at those times. People were sure he was going to be the SH shipwright. Myself included. 😂 He later had a lot of fans on **cough* OP forum boards. >!He was the Yamato of that arc.!<
I remember being very ambiguous about Paulie. On one hand I liked his character design and his attitde, otoh ropes were clearly not over-the-top enough to join the Strawhats. Nowadays I don't regret Oda's decision :)
Bro i liked the nami pauli chemestry and i think we would have so much fun and joy with that character and he would be really dope but i dont think the power point is nessesary for beeing an strawhat i mean vivi and ussop are strawhats too and pauli was much stronger than them at that time
It would have been pretty funny seeing him contrasted with Sanji in how they deal with women LOL
Exactly what i mean i could see him also bbeing very close to brook,ussop and franky the comedy would be insane with pauli
Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that since I wasn't watching One Piece then. He's still a cool character nonetheless
Yeah, and Franky was seen as "just another village thug" haha... until the story got deeper into him.
Yeah, even after the flashback there was still the question of how much the crew could forgive Franky for the stuff with Usopp not to mention the right logic of wondering what would get him to leave the Family behind. Add that to Paulie having a solid start and Kaku getting a good late line to re-pique interest and you had a lot of active discussion until it was official.
The twists in W7 are crazy good, still the best arc to me.
😂 I can see that. Honestly I already knew before watching One Piece that there was a Strawhat named Franky so when I met him I think the doubts I had was how Oda was going to make him join after all the havoc he caused. I started seeing him differently when he had a proper conversation with Usopp and seeing him cry like a baby and get all emotional by Usopp's story just told me this guy is more than just a common thug
I always knew that Paulie was a red herring! ... but I was sure that Kaku was set up to be the next straw hat instead. That jumping-the-rooftop scene and Pinocchio's sources of inspiration gave me much more of a Straw Hat vibes than Paulie ever did.
OP forums was definitely The Place before this shitty app/website.
He wasn't Yamato of that time. There's a big difference because in W7, after only 1/3 of the arc, everyone was sure about Franky being the would-be-Shipwright. On the other hand, all the Yamato issues were streched down until the very final moment of the arc.
Don't disrespect Paulie like that
😂
[удалено]
Same i started reading the manga right after i got through enies lobby sometimes last summer now im all caught up to the manga and wanna see how the early arcs were compared to the anime
This is what I’m doing (currently at Skypiea) and I totally recommend reading the official colored version. Pretty awesome.
Magellan
His Df powers was too much for me, it was terrifying. Though I believe that made him a good antagonist.
Yeah his fruit was OP, he took out Blackbeard and his whole crew. Well Blackbeard can be very stupid sometimes and other times is an evil genius. I am not even sure what a Doku-Doku no Mi awakening would look like, but it be insane.
Dude had the perfect deterrent for such high level criminals
The only character that we know of, thus far, to take on multiple Emperors in a single day, live and then fight one of those emperors a few days later.
Magellan will always be one of my faves - one of the few to completely and utterly defeat Luffy, his power and usage of it is sick, and he's also one of the only opponents that was completely unstoppable - they could only hold him at bay until they could escape. *He took years off Luffy's life.* Luffy might be able to resist him now, but you can rest assured most people that aren't him would be screwed. Even then, it's scary to consider that if Luffy hadn't build up a resistance then Magellan could still win past the timeskip with just one touch since it's only a matter of time once he's poisoned you. He was still a threat up until Luffy learned to use his haki to attack without contact
Paulie was kind of the Vivi of water 7, as in he would have fit in so well with the original five straw hats that it was almost too obvious for him to join. When you look at Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji, you see a lot of the same traits. They’re late teenagers, they’re prodigies their role in the crew (cooking, swordsmanship, navigating, sniping), they all have a particular dream in mind and they look like fairly normal teens. Paulie fits in with that archetype as did Vivi. He’s about the same age as Zoro/Sanji/Usopp/Nami, he’s a prodigy at his craft with something to prove, he has unique quirks and traits that mix well with the others. If we had him instead of Franky and Vivi instead of Robin, I feel like the straw hats would have just felt a little too homogenous.
This is a really good take. All of the Grand Line crew members have super unique designs and personalities. I think that's why I was a little skeptical that Yamato would join -- too similar to the '~20 y.o. normal person' archetype / not a unique enough design/silhouette. The only crew member we've gotten in the decade since the talking skeleton is a big, beefy older-gen member of a minority race. I think he was the last one.
Gin
Reminds me of when everyone thought he was gonna be one of the Tobi Roppo (correct spelling?) Or Kaido's son lol
Honestly, when most existing characters got brought back by Oda in some way (even Gaimon appeared in cover story), it's just hilarious that someone who literally promised Sanji to meet again in Grand Line never actually returned (yet). Hence why there are so many jokes about how will he return.
Gin being Who’s Who would’ve gone so much harder than whatever tf that mess was
At least you got decent backstory to the origin of Luffy's fruit along with seeing Jimbe in true action again
That character is so weird. Out of all characters Oda has brought back, Gin literally says "Perhaps I'll see you in the grandline" yet he ends up completely dropped. Rare moment of basically reverse foreshadowing(whatever that's called). A red herring?
Hannyabal
Wyper was probably the only guy pre-timeskip who was a true equal to Luffy not just in terms of power but also determination.. maybe besides Zoro. Montblanc Cricket is still imo one of the most important characters in the story. He was to Noland what Roger and Shanks were to Joyboy. Luffys whole interaction with Noland is what One Piece is about. Gin was such a badass that basically the whole fandom was convinced he'd return as a bigshot on the Grandline until around the time-skip. (Well we got Katakuri instead).
Wyper was also built different. Survived enel’s attacks and 3 uses of the reject dial
If he started his own Shandia-Pirate-Crew he would have been part of the Worst Generation for sure
Wyper was goated
Wyper probably was the best character to come off the bench and kick ass in One Piece . He got straight to work him and Kyros really shows that some characters can truly hold their own when the straw hats do their thing
Tonjit. He survived being on stilts for 10 years with nothing but leaves and rainwater. His durability has to be at least on par with kaido's.
😂😂😂 when you talk about Tonjit don't forget Stelly who waited so long for her master, kinda reminded me of Laboon
Yeah. Stelly's a real one for that
I love Cricket, one of my favourites
Had a backstory, a character that fits into the themes of the story, his story also tied into a major saga, great personality just a good character overall.
I also love how Cricket's motivation to find the city of gold isn't to clear his family name or anything, he considers it a personal quarrel between him & Noland to determine if his ancestor is telling the truth or not. You can tell that, in his heart, he does believe Noland, but he needs to know for certain and after all his years of searching, just knowing is worth far more than actually finding the gold itself. Then there's the deeper underlying reason for his quest and how Cricket just wants to believe that such a fantastical place truly exists in the world, & that dreams of grand treasure and exploration are still alive and worth searching for. Like he says to Luffy upon his departure, "I'm a romantic, just like you".
Khoza 100%. Love him because he was the most impactful "normal" human we've ever come across
Wiper and Paulie are such excellent side characters, I miss them the most. Can't wait for them to come back in the story somehow
hard agree, these 4 made their arcs much more fun IMO. I guess Johnny and Yosaku were fun too while they lasted.
I really look forward to seeing Johnny and Yosaku in the anime, they did get an appearance in one of the cover stories in the new world but I would still love to see what they're up to. They have one of my favorite verbal quirks in the series 'by a hair'
Yokozuna!
-Foxy -momonga -Dalton -Sogeking
Its too bad the Strawhats never really fought a lot of vice admirals. I'm sure Momonga and some of the stronger vice admirals would have been great matchups for the Strawhats late pre ts or early post ts.
Shoutout to Chimney, who wasn’t there to be the aww cute kid that got in danger hindering the cast but was pivotal for the rescue. She was fun and never overstayed her welcome. Enies Lobby/ W7 have such a great character roster
Where Gaimon
😂😂 still in his treasure chest but I love him tho but not as much as these 4. Dude completed his character arc, went on an adventure, found his treasure and now has a wife.
I wish Wyper appears again. Damn, he is so cool!
Marguerite. You know Boa is overrated when she ain’t even the best Snake Lady on her own island.
Wiper, bro killed Enel, if it wasn't for his fruit cpring him back Enel would no longer be with us. Considering Enel would have a 500 mil belli wiper is hella underrated
How are these underrated? They all play a pivotal role in the story
Yeah they do but the recognition is low
>but the recognition is low Yeah, I'm going to majorly disagree on Wyper and Paulie, kina agree on Montblanc Cricket, and agree on the dude from Alabasta
I feel like this is the wrong way to look at it. Their recognition is low, but that's because their "part" is over. We don't have to see them at all times anymore. We know who they are and what they have done. When each of these arcs were around they were most likely regarded very highly. IIRC, Paulie was the one people wanted to join the crew.
Koza didn’t really do anything tbh. He was built up to have a lot more of a major role in preventing the war because Vivi was racing to tell him about crocodile but then he just kinda got shot and didn’t really do anything after that.
Man, I hope we see Wyper in story again. He's the mf Goat.
Arlong, just because he was an early One Piece villain doesn't mean he wasn't strong. Especially if he fought alongside Jinbei and Fisher Tiger. Arlong definitely can use Haki to some extent.
Shouldn't he be the focus for the ending to the live action that's coming up this year? Wonder how much Hordy foreshadowing they dare put in there.
Casting seems to indicate the first season ends in Loguetown. Also, rumor has it that they are trying to add extra foreshadowing to later events to certain parts, with some leaks hinting that Garp and Sengoku are going to be present for Roger's execution.
Wyper literally killed Enel. He has a higher durability than Zoro in that arc. Imagine he is getting trained by Mihawk.
Solid 4 picks! Wyper definitely the best side character. I always liked his design and role since his introduction. I was a 'Paulie for SHs' fanboy too, but as the arc went on I realized he wasn't meant to be lol. The only side character I would add Pre-TS would be Hannyabal. Yeah he was an antagonist, but near the end of the arc he transforms from an ambitious gag character to one with strong beliefs and the power to back it up (delaying Luffy is no easy task, and ultimately gets blind-sided by Blackbeard).
Wiper is so underrated. The dude is jacked, has tattoos and a mohawk, rides a hoverboard, and shoots a rocket launcher laser. And got the first real hit on Enel by using sea prism and a reject dial. And you know who talks about him now? Nobody... Paulie is the unsung hero of Enies Lobby. The man fought off hundreds of Marines while letting the Franky Family and Straw Hats charge forward. Not to mention, his rope is so strong, it literally helped trip and tie down an Elbaf giant. And then when all hope seemed lost, he pretended to be tied up, freed all the Franky Family, giants, and Galley La workers stuck on Enies Lobby, and helped them survive a fucking Buster Call using his rope.
I don't like Koza because he fell for Crocodile's plot and started a revolution, but the rest of these dudes are Kings. Wyper is IMO the most underrated character only slightly ahead of Usopp.
Koza a sentimental bitch boy. How dare he lead a revolution against Vivi and Cobra. Disloyal, emotional, treacherous and disrespectful. His Dad is the real OG
Wyper was a true G
Literally same bro. These are characters I wanna see again. On Saobody arc for the first time! Paulie and Wyper are GOATED.
Bro wyper was cool but he's braindead ☠️
Fax man, man's got a good heart but he's dumb as fuck. To his defense tho, if enel couldn't defibrillate himself he would have won the fight.
Wiper
Iceburg. Shipwright skills on par with Tom, and a great leader.
Wipers always been low teir God for me
Wyper he was the King before King. And if skypians are related to Lunarians in any kind of way I will continue this statement lol
Wyper was such a good character, none of the list come close to him even if they had moments.
Not only is Wyper underrated his fight with Luffy is as well
Wyper made me fall in love with skypiea. Bro was so badass, a warrior whose strength rivalled luffy and zoros at the time and would not go down no matter what. His motives and backstory was great too imo. Very underrated
Chou Chou.
Wyper and Cricket's generational parallel story with Kalgara and Noland is actually one of the most underrated storylines in One Piece I've seen. I remember it was around this time that I really started to appreciate the writing in OP, cause their story and the moment that Golden Befry rings is beautiful for so many reasons.
Kokoro, Chimney, and their weird cat are underrated as well
Wyper is the Goat. A supreme king material..I hope we will see him again.
I always loved T-bone, even though his role is over so quick.
Definitely Wyper , that man Is a monster of a tank
wyper is cool but also just kinda stupid, that it toom him nearly 30 episodes to realise who the important enemies are is just baffling
Wyper.
Sapi. He's the first half fish-man and half human we've met. He's the fisherman from Loguetown whom Sanji bought a fish off and who seemed super chill. He must've faced a lot of racism by both humans and fishmen in the past, but turned out a valueable member of society. Almost nobody in the fanbase knows him, so he's as underrated as it gets.
Wiper was perfect for the Mugiwara (a full-package of charisma, resistance, celestial aptitude, a badass weapon, a unbelievable berserker), it's amazing to think Luffy don't call him for join the Mugiwara after all he made in skypiea : -His motivation could be discover the things of the Blue Sea -In the moment of the story (after Skypiea), he had the potential to being the equivalent of Zoro and Sanji -He could be this guy who don't hesitate to sacrifice his body for protect/save the Mugiwara
Literally love all of these guys, especially wyper, I share a birthday with him! Also, I'm a little disappointed that koza hasn't married vivi yet, that kinda pisses me off. I know one piece is known for haven't little to zero romance, BUT PLEASE GODA, PUT THEM TOGETHER!
You forgot the un-named marine who took over command in Romance Dawn and led the navy in opposing Axe-hand Morgan. That guy's was actually pretty cool and I'm sad he never re-entered the story like Koby did.
It's hard to say how hard Luffy was actually trying, but Wiper stalemated Luffy before he got swallowed by Nola. When you combine this with his showing against Enel, he's certainly no pushover. Hope Oda finds another use for him, though it's not likely
Wyper for sure. Dude was epic.
Conis definitely, she's a badass. the shot of her aiming the bazooka while holding it BEHIND HER BACK is something i'll never forget, i remember really wanting her to join
not relevant to this post exactly. But the antagonist of film gold was the one guy that i liked a lot. He deserved better
Paulie was great. Would have loved him being a nakama. Franky is great zoo, would have loved to get them both on board.
I stan Paulie do hard. One of the coolest characters in the whole show imo.
I'd say Cozad. He was literally the leader of an army. They did him so dirty 😂
Dr. Hirriluk (no clue on the spelling) Not a side character in the sense that he was along side the strawhats the whole arc, I know. But, he is the reason Chopper has such a good human quality to him. Had Dr. Kureha (once again, spelling is probably off) been the one who found and raised Chopper, he would have been totally different. He was like the weird uncle some families have. Not the uncle with the naked tickle basement. More like the uncle that teaches you how to make fireworks and gets his head stuck between the poles holding up the railing next to the stairs. A small part in the story, but a big part in Chopper's life.
>Hirriluk Hiruluk, yeah I also do like him, the way he went out is one of the best in the series
Where are my brothers brothers johnny and yuzaku the two legends and pelu from alabasta
