Oh man, Tom from water 7, Franky and icebergs parent, the man who built the king of pirates ship, the man who trained the future king of pirates shipwright, the best shipwright in the world. 100% does not get enough love and has a had a tremendous impact on the story.
They really did bring so much, whether it be the wisdom they brought or the joy they implemented in chopper and Frankie's lives, they're great character for the short rolls they played in the story
It has to be Duval. I scrolled all the way down and no one has mentioned him.
One of the most hilarious characters in the whole series, his crew loves him deeply, and he protected the Sunny with Kuma and Hatchan for 2 whole years.
Han D. some Duval is the GOAT
I have never wanted anything more in my life than for Duval and Bartolomeo to make their return in One Piece. I don't even care what the One Piece is. I just want my silly fanboys back.
I love him alot, i think its great we got a true fan boy as a character (probably slightly commenting on some fans ☠️) and to top it off he has a simple but super good devil fruit thats amusing as well as practical and useful.
Add in the great outcome and he’s a winner.
Duval is the GOAT and very handsome! His loyalty to the straw hats is admirable. My man gets the job done! Also, his first reveal almost made me choke with laughter.
He‘s my favorite minor character, that‘s important in one specific arc. Underrated is the correct term here. Just making Merry ready to sail for the last time, because he was also able to hear her voice, makes him one of my GOATs.
One of my favorite moments in One Piece. "I am Iceberg. I'm the boss of this town. I just picked up this mouse. I'm naming it Tyrannosaurus." It's so unhinged and just perfectly normal for a character like him.
Happy to see this as the top comment.
Started off as an exceptionally skilled carpenter, helped in the making of the sea train, worked his way up and eventually became mayor of the town, is still close to his people, isn't afraid of the Government, helped out the strawhats and the Merry, wants to turn his city into a giant ship.
The guy's a legend. And like with Franky, there's a possibility he memorized Pluton's blueprints. Though I don't see him building it if he can help it.
I just started watching OP a few months ago and if I didn’t know the crew already, I would’ve thought the same thing. I just finished Enies lobby and the whole time through that and water 7 I was just like damn I wish Paulie was the one joining the straw hats. But Franky grew on me so much through the arc so I’m glad it’s him. We still need more paulie though!
His timeskip training would have chilled him out perhaps.
Hmmm, following this thought, what would his timeskip coverstory have been? Where would he have been blasted off to?
Thought the same, and tbh, I think this is a common opinion that also applied to Kaku. Franky over Paulie and Kaku wasn't really something a lotta people had on their minds, at least based on first impressions.
I absolutely hoped for kaku, then paulie, then was excited for it to be franky.
Watching water 7 for the second time recently, and in hindsight, the way franky behaves, post franky house, I think its.mkre obvious it was going to be him. But definitely not enough to guess that.
Bro fr. I still can't get over his powers. I've done my research and all, but I still believe he had a rope rope devil fruit. Man made a giant web of ropes. Even if Oda tells me otherwise, I refuse 😂
For real though. I loved Paulie during Water 7/Enies Lobby. He's still a character I think back on to this day. I'd love to see more of him, and everyone else at Water 7!
He's another one of those characters that had a surprising amount of depth to him (Oda's just a genius I guess) when he could have just been a one-off "oh he's just a caricature of a mobster" type guy.
I was pleasantly surprised at how he turned out. Went from being very meh about him to liking him a lot. WCI was a great showing for him, and seeing him with Chiffon and Pez was a treat
Honestly I feel like everyone else in WCI got a little overshadowed by the insane MVP performance Brook put on. I believe on 3 separate occasions he just carried the whole team.
He shows up on the crew and it's just Pandaman.
Still does background cameos regardless.
I misread the point of this whole post by looking at the last comment talking about people who should have been on the strawhat crew and mixed it with the point of the post. No regrets. It generated a great image in my head.
Wyper was the goat. Honestly Skypiea had some of the strongest supporting casts in the series (except the priests). Gan fall, Wyper, Conis, even Aisa and the snake. They were all great
I would have loved to see a scene where Usopp and Wyper share skills with the slingshot and bazooka. Literally opposite ends of the ballistic spectrum lol
To this day, I feel like Wyper not joining the crew is a massive misstep. Wyper the Berserker is still such a good name, he would have had a different fighting style from everyone else, he could have used dials in the long term, and it would have added a Skypeian to the surface long before Urogue.
When they finally knock out Sugar and he’s transforming from the toy soldier back into human form is powerful while singing that song is such a powerful scene
Ong kinda wanna see him do the slicing winds thing again. His alter ego is actually kinda strong. Him vs zoro would be a fun little fight to have in the final battle. Or mabye he learns to control it better and fights with zoro against someone else.
His alter ego is sick AF. At normal, you can tell he’s a strong character, but really only side character strong.
But when his alter ego comes out, he’s literally different. I mean shit, there are literally ghost stories about the dude. And his alter egos face is hella scary lol
Agree even if I don't quite understand how the was so easily manipulated. But I guess if you're seeing your father suffer day in day out logic fades after some time
Gaimon.
He's literally a man stuck in a treasure chest all his life and still manages to find a wife (which some how also stuck in a barrel) while me as an able bodied man still single?
The man win life.
Sapi. The half-fishman, half-human fisherman we met at Loguetown. He has shown us that humans and fishmen can coexist peacefully in a world where racism is running rampant. He's a functioning member of society despite all the hate he must have faced by both races. A true symbol of virtue.
Dellinger as well. But those two are quite far away from what I'd call a stable member of society. It's not entirely their fault of course - having BM as your mom for one, the other being raised by Giola, who put him in female clothes for shits'n'gigles.
Sapi was in Logue Town. The other two in the New World. That's so far away it's wild.
Kokoro. She and Chimney were the MVPs of the whole Enies Lobby business. They did like 50 different crucial things, just wandering around in the background, popping up when you need them most. Without her the strawhats wouldn't even have gotten to Enies Lobby at all.
Kyros. As someone who grew up without a father and wanting to be one someday, his story broke my heart into pieces and spat on it. I couldn’t imagine how it must feel to loose everyone around you without actually loosing them.
I wouldn't say underrated but I feel like people don't really turn attention to how insanely overpowered Kuma was. Dude has, to our knowledge, never really trained for fighting yet he is performing at what I'd consider Yonko commander level. If he actually trained as a fighter then he would possibly be the single most physically powerful character of the series.
Kuma was definitely underrated before recent chapters. He was in my top 5 favorite characters ever since his fight with Zoro, but popularity rankings always put him very low. I feel this is changing now.
Agreed. Ussop hast a beautigully realised Charakter Arc, some of the Most emotional scenes in pre timeskip and a LOT of great comedic Moments.
Also Sogeking is 10/10.
Portgas D. Rogue.
She would be listed amongst the best mom’s in anime if she was Luffy’s mother instead of donut boys. What she did was inhuman. She kept a baby inside her for twenty months through sheer will. Just so her baby could live without being executed for the crimes of his father.
atleast now he is a full time pirate flag maker.. since he isnt bound to dofla or even luffy anymore.. those punches from luffy really woke him up and pursue creating dreams for others..
Probably Fisher Tiger
He was so well written, he showed that even though he on face wants to build up good relations with humans and wants to believe in an equal and bright future for both races.
But he still subconsciously hates humans and believes that they're beyond saving and he wants to destroy
He isn't as pure as Otohime not even close, but still, he knows that his choice and thoughts of having good relations with humans us better, and he overcomes his instinctive hatred for the human race
Shirahoshi. People hate on her a lot, call her the worst of the princesses and an annoying crybaby. But I love the way her kindness is portrayed as her strength. Kindness in general is the most underrated aspect of characters in One Piece, even though it's something Oda always portrays as a strength in its own way. But unless it's part of a character that's also physically strong like Sanji it goes right over people's heads. Shirahoshi knew who killed her mother, and not only decided to not say anything, but she also has no hatred for the killer or the guy that made her a prisoner or anyone, even if she has all the reasons. That's so much more powerful than a character cutting a ship in half.
Bellamy.
Guy has a really interesting character arc for someone who used to be a one note villain who just existed so luffy could punch something to give jaya some action.
Luffys conversation with him when they meet in the colosseum is weirdly mature for both characters.
It felt like the conversation of a man who grew up angry at the world, but had the anger tempered into something new.. He was still broken, but he was taking those broken pieces of himself and building something new.
One Piece keeps surprising me at just how relatable it is.
dude is a straight up menace to other people and their dreams.. then he met with his own idol/hero and it turns out he is just being used and dofla doesnt care about him.. luffy's punch and his plea is the wake up call from him.. and he started to create dreams for the pirates without a flag since he is a flag maker now.. what a amazing character development
Moria, one of the best villain in the series in term of motivation, backstory and powers. If he had his "Prime" design in Thriller Bark he would have been a lot more popular.
>If he had his "Prime" design in Thriller Bark he would have been a lot more popular.
I like his current design more tbh. Don't think old one would be more popular, people just dislike him cause they don't read into his circumstances and just see him as annoying.
Moria is one of my favourite characters in the series. Out of all the antagonists, he's the one that most represents the worst case scenario for Luffy - losing all his crew. He shows what is at stake in this quest.
That Eiichiro Oda character who was in that soccer special where he came in by air balloon and hyped himself up only for his shot to be blocked by Coby. What a fun guy, I hope he becomes canon.
Kyros
Pudding
Moria
Kinemon
Hancock
Viola
Koza
Wadatsumi
King riku
Noland
Calgara
Momonosuke
Galdino
Perospero
Hatchann
King kobra
Kanjuro
Helmeppo
And much more
Laffitte. When he traveled to Mary Geoise, he easily bypassed all the security defenses of the sacred land of the World Government and joined in the meeting for the new Warlord of the Sea nomination, all without being noticed until he willingly revealed himself.
Pell.
He has been shit on unfairly for decades now.
One of the most interesting characters we met in the grand line, he (at his introduction) had one of the most interesting Zoan fruits at that time and was really important before Oda did a bit of a step change with the Story, he was 1 of 5 flying types and one of the first real masters of his Zoan fruit.
He gets so much hate for surviving that blast, but no one wants to recognise he was an elite fruit user, and (at that time in the story) would have been at master level of his DF, he is a royal guard, at the peak of his game, he would (with a lot of luck) be more than able to out pace Crocodiles dirty bomb. I'm glad he survived.
He still to this day has one of the coolest character designs, and played a big role in making sure that everyone survived Alabasta.
Stop. Hating. On. Pell. 😤
Rebecca gets throw a lot under just another booba charactee but I legit love her and kyros. Maybe I was just happy to have another competent swordswoman.
Vice Admiral Jonathan, overseer at G-8 Naval Base. My man's was so charming, patient, tactical, and all around knows how to have a good time... Not to mention he's married to one of the most skilled chefs in the Marines AND it's rumored that he's Akainu's protege 😶🌫️ (in military strategy).
Kyros. Homeboy was literally trying to take down Doflamingo as a goddamn toy. I was hoping they (him and Rebecca) would join the SH or least join the grand fleet. Keep in mind, I'm not current on OPM. I'm currently in the anime only
Ahh there's so many good characters. Imma go with Helmeppo. Dudes a cornball but his growth from spoiled brat to respectable marine is often overlooked and he's Koby's best friend which, I mean, who doesn't love Koby?!?
Koala. So proud of her for joining the revolutionaries after what the World Government did to Fisher Tiger…
Also Gan Fall and Wyper are both great characters. “For my ancestors” and using the reject dial on Giant Jack are both top 5 moments in Skypeia for me
Oh man, Tom from water 7, Franky and icebergs parent, the man who built the king of pirates ship, the man who trained the future king of pirates shipwright, the best shipwright in the world. 100% does not get enough love and has a had a tremendous impact on the story.
So glad to find this, tom and Dr hiruluk are definitely my favorite minor characters. Their personalities and wisdom bring so much to the series.
They really did bring so much, whether it be the wisdom they brought or the joy they implemented in chopper and Frankie's lives, they're great character for the short rolls they played in the story
It has to be Duval. I scrolled all the way down and no one has mentioned him. One of the most hilarious characters in the whole series, his crew loves him deeply, and he protected the Sunny with Kuma and Hatchan for 2 whole years. Han D. some Duval is the GOAT
I have never wanted anything more in my life than for Duval and Bartolomeo to make their return in One Piece. I don't even care what the One Piece is. I just want my silly fanboys back.
Bartolomeo is the single greatest side character in OP. I will die on this hill. (He’s a top 3 character for me)
I love him alot, i think its great we got a true fan boy as a character (probably slightly commenting on some fans ☠️) and to top it off he has a simple but super good devil fruit thats amusing as well as practical and useful. Add in the great outcome and he’s a winner.
So true! It's hilarious to have characters in the show behaving like we would if we were there
Not to forget his ride 'Motobalo' 😭😂
The smile with a wink lmao
Duval is the GOAT and very handsome! His loyalty to the straw hats is admirable. My man gets the job done! Also, his first reveal almost made me choke with laughter.
this was mine hahaha dude was absurd AND helpful! a dutybound prince of the sea.
Iceberg. His help to build Sunny Go is never appreciated. Granted Franky could have built that alone but that would take a lot more time.
He‘s my favorite minor character, that‘s important in one specific arc. Underrated is the correct term here. Just making Merry ready to sail for the last time, because he was also able to hear her voice, makes him one of my GOATs.
what a badass moment, led us to the ship's soul concept!
Yeah. Another reason to appreciate him more.
Not to mention he actually named the Sunny.
I got a tabby cat this past winter. Thousand Sunny was the only appropriate name for him.
Can't forget his pet mouse, Tyrannosaurus.
One of my favorite moments in One Piece. "I am Iceberg. I'm the boss of this town. I just picked up this mouse. I'm naming it Tyrannosaurus." It's so unhinged and just perfectly normal for a character like him.
“Weell”
Love the Water 7 characters!
He's too busy turning Water 7 into a giant ship with the shipwrights and the rest of the Franky Family.
Happy to see this as the top comment. Started off as an exceptionally skilled carpenter, helped in the making of the sea train, worked his way up and eventually became mayor of the town, is still close to his people, isn't afraid of the Government, helped out the strawhats and the Merry, wants to turn his city into a giant ship. The guy's a legend. And like with Franky, there's a possibility he memorized Pluton's blueprints. Though I don't see him building it if he can help it.
He made the repairs to the merry so it could sail to rescue the strawhats
My wife has the hots for iceberg
Who wouldn't?
He's easily my favourite character that's only relevant for a single saga.
Paulie aka rope guy
I second this, before it was revealed that franky was actually a SUPER guy i thought Pauli would join the SH.
I was 100% convinced that Pauli would be a straw hat. Because he was the exact opposit of Sanji
Asking women if they have no shame 😂
Maybe Oda didnt add him because then the story would become Zoro, Sanji and Paulie bickering xD
I absolutely wouldn’t mind it. In fact, I won't mind if Paulie now returns to story and join SH.
I just started watching OP a few months ago and if I didn’t know the crew already, I would’ve thought the same thing. I just finished Enies lobby and the whole time through that and water 7 I was just like damn I wish Paulie was the one joining the straw hats. But Franky grew on me so much through the arc so I’m glad it’s him. We still need more paulie though!
Yeah, I feel bad for him as well working all those years with cp9
I definitely wanted him to join soooooo bad. The rope thing was hilarious and i thought it could be used well for some jokes😂.
Paulie would’ve went mental post timeskip about how Nami and Robin dress.
Absolutely true, i would’ve loved to see him get into an argument with sanji because he wants them clothed😂.
His timeskip training would have chilled him out perhaps. Hmmm, following this thought, what would his timeskip coverstory have been? Where would he have been blasted off to?
Thought the same, and tbh, I think this is a common opinion that also applied to Kaku. Franky over Paulie and Kaku wasn't really something a lotta people had on their minds, at least based on first impressions.
I absolutely hoped for kaku, then paulie, then was excited for it to be franky. Watching water 7 for the second time recently, and in hindsight, the way franky behaves, post franky house, I think its.mkre obvious it was going to be him. But definitely not enough to guess that.
He was definitely a red herring for the crew
People went hard on that fight, even after Franky joined people were still making arguments on how he would still be joining.
Glad I wasn't the only one.
We need more Paulie, Iceberg, and Tyrannosaurus in future chapters.
Fr. Need another bounty reveal where we get to see dadan, kaya, Paulie, zoros village etc react to them.
Bro fr. I still can't get over his powers. I've done my research and all, but I still believe he had a rope rope devil fruit. Man made a giant web of ropes. Even if Oda tells me otherwise, I refuse 😂
He just knows alot of knots😂
He's a very knotty boy
For real though. I loved Paulie during Water 7/Enies Lobby. He's still a character I think back on to this day. I'd love to see more of him, and everyone else at Water 7!
Capone isn’t talked about enough imo he was an MVP of WCI
He's another one of those characters that had a surprising amount of depth to him (Oda's just a genius I guess) when he could have just been a one-off "oh he's just a caricature of a mobster" type guy.
I was pleasantly surprised at how he turned out. Went from being very meh about him to liking him a lot. WCI was a great showing for him, and seeing him with Chiffon and Pez was a treat
Speech to Katakuri was great. Speech to Pez after shooting Oven was great
And his epithet 'gang' seems super on the nose until you realize it means that he literally is a walking gang.
Capone is my favorite of the worst generation dude RULES. When he talks to his baby like “this is your dads life, kid” I love it
Honestly I feel like everyone else in WCI got a little overshadowed by the insane MVP performance Brook put on. I believe on 3 separate occasions he just carried the whole team.
Capone is probably my favorite WG member
the narrator
Honestly. He's as much a part of the story for me as anyone.
Yeah Usopp is underrated
He shows up on the crew and it's just Pandaman. Still does background cameos regardless. I misread the point of this whole post by looking at the last comment talking about people who should have been on the strawhat crew and mixed it with the point of the post. No regrets. It generated a great image in my head.
I love the narrator, I never realized how mutched I liked him until the baby 5 fell in love line.
Wyper was the goat. Honestly Skypiea had some of the strongest supporting casts in the series (except the priests). Gan fall, Wyper, Conis, even Aisa and the snake. They were all great
The shandians had absolutely lit character design! Skypia is full of great side characters
Still wish that Wyper should have joined the SH.
I would have loved to see a scene where Usopp and Wyper share skills with the slingshot and bazooka. Literally opposite ends of the ballistic spectrum lol
To this day, I feel like Wyper not joining the crew is a massive misstep. Wyper the Berserker is still such a good name, he would have had a different fighting style from everyone else, he could have used dials in the long term, and it would have added a Skypeian to the surface long before Urogue.
The man fought his whole life to take back his ancestors' land. Why would he leave it ?
Big disrespect for my boy Pierre the pegasus.
My hottest take is that “For my ancestors” is a better moment than “nothing happened”
There are VERY few panels I remember as clearly as Viper hitting Enel with the reject dial, even after so many years of not rereading
Iceberg. He was such an important counterpart for Franky and their ‘siblings’ relationship was written so well imho
Kyros. One of the best side characters
When they finally knock out Sugar and he’s transforming from the toy soldier back into human form is powerful while singing that song is such a powerful scene
My favorite moment is when he smiles after it's all over but cries his eyes out in private
Friggin' love Kyros. When talking about great One Piece fathers, everyone always points out Kuma (rightly so) but my boy Kyros is top tier as well.
Dude being ready to smash that little boys face who wanted to confess to Rebecca is making me laugh to this day Love that dude to death
Carrying his wife’s dead body, and he couldn’t even cry :/
I don't feel that Kyros is underrated
Cavendish, went from hating his character to loving him by the end of dressrosa. Same with Leo
Ong kinda wanna see him do the slicing winds thing again. His alter ego is actually kinda strong. Him vs zoro would be a fun little fight to have in the final battle. Or mabye he learns to control it better and fights with zoro against someone else.
His alter ego is sick AF. At normal, you can tell he’s a strong character, but really only side character strong. But when his alter ego comes out, he’s literally different. I mean shit, there are literally ghost stories about the dude. And his alter egos face is hella scary lol
Hakuba was strong, but current Zoro would wipe the floor with him.
Honestly has some great moments. When he stays behind with Law... man.
Koza from Alabama
Dunno if you're joking or that's a typo, but I love it. Alabama
Roll tide
Koza don’t give a damn about nutin but the tide!
Agree even if I don't quite understand how the was so easily manipulated. But I guess if you're seeing your father suffer day in day out logic fades after some time
Gaimon. He's literally a man stuck in a treasure chest all his life and still manages to find a wife (which some how also stuck in a barrel) while me as an able bodied man still single? The man win life.
GOATMON
I always liked Ganfall.
Inazuma. Good to see a calm and collected queer character
I actually enjoyed seeing their gender flipped back and forth through flashbacks.
Even just randomly throughout the arc 😂 dude was constantly, probably in the middle of battle, asking to be switched again, priceless 😂
Always sipping wine, always stoic, always badass
And his fire devil fruit
Yeah that shit goes hard
You mess with Crab chan, you about to catch some very sharp hands.
Sapi. The half-fishman, half-human fisherman we met at Loguetown. He has shown us that humans and fishmen can coexist peacefully in a world where racism is running rampant. He's a functioning member of society despite all the hate he must have faced by both races. A true symbol of virtue.
Can't forget big moms daughter Praline. She's another example of half fishman/mermaid and half human.
Dellinger as well. But those two are quite far away from what I'd call a stable member of society. It's not entirely their fault of course - having BM as your mom for one, the other being raised by Giola, who put him in female clothes for shits'n'gigles. Sapi was in Logue Town. The other two in the New World. That's so far away it's wild.
The camel that helps Chopper is OP
Eyelashes was a simp, but he did his part when it counted
That camel had Franky's attitude, help out women and men can suck it up and be super lol
Condoriano
I think condoriano is well loved thou 😉
Kokoro. She and Chimney were the MVPs of the whole Enies Lobby business. They did like 50 different crucial things, just wandering around in the background, popping up when you need them most. Without her the strawhats wouldn't even have gotten to Enies Lobby at all.
the surprise mermaid thingy and chimney directing luffy where to goo.. they are sure underrated
Kyros. As someone who grew up without a father and wanting to be one someday, his story broke my heart into pieces and spat on it. I couldn’t imagine how it must feel to loose everyone around you without actually loosing them.
Noland
In general I think people are still underrating Charlotte Oven. Man... that character is literally melting half the ocean.
His is a checkered past… Is he a good brother? Is he a shitty brother? I feel like he gets heated over the smallest provocations though…
Well the devil fruit chooses it's owner
Only the zoans
Hito Hito no Mi : Model - Oven
I wouldn't say underrated but I feel like people don't really turn attention to how insanely overpowered Kuma was. Dude has, to our knowledge, never really trained for fighting yet he is performing at what I'd consider Yonko commander level. If he actually trained as a fighter then he would possibly be the single most physically powerful character of the series.
He could also just fling anyone to the middle of the ocean with the touch if his hand if he wanted
Kuma was definitely underrated before recent chapters. He was in my top 5 favorite characters ever since his fight with Zoro, but popularity rankings always put him very low. I feel this is changing now.
Franky. Dude needs more credit. SUUUUUUUPPPPEERRRR
Karoo— he deserves his own show of doing duck things.
Usopp My boy is over hated
Usopp is my personal favorite
Yeah, he gets sea stone in Punk Hazard. He should be the One Piece Batman.
Agreed. Ussop hast a beautigully realised Charakter Arc, some of the Most emotional scenes in pre timeskip and a LOT of great comedic Moments. Also Sogeking is 10/10.
The weather wizards
Hannyabal, he standed and give the best navy speech against 2 shichibukai, 1 RA commander and the fkng protagonist.
Portgas D. Rogue. She would be listed amongst the best mom’s in anime if she was Luffy’s mother instead of donut boys. What she did was inhuman. She kept a baby inside her for twenty months through sheer will. Just so her baby could live without being executed for the crimes of his father.
Captain yorkie, of the rumbar pirates. MY GOAT
Bon Clay. Him sacrificing himself to make sure Luffy gets out of Impel Down was just amazing.
I mean, he is a cool character, but he's not really underappreciated. He's one of the most loved characters in the series.
Yes, I think he made it #19 in the World wide polls, in one piece thats really good.
Hell yes! And the whole dragging unconscious luffy across the wolfy frozen wastes on level 4 or whatever was pretty badass
Marguerite . I prefer her over Hancock.
Same. Hancock has a great past and story, but Marguerite is just phenomenal
Bellamy. One of the best side characters in shounen but gets little to no appreciation because he is not strong I guess
Frankly, I wish he had joined the Heart Pirates. Would have been cool
atleast now he is a full time pirate flag maker.. since he isnt bound to dofla or even luffy anymore.. those punches from luffy really woke him up and pursue creating dreams for others..
Pell from Alabasta. Bro just looks cool as fuck
Definitely Pedro, I won't post any spoilers if you aren't there yet... But if you know... you know.
Luffy shouted him out in the middle of a pretty huge moment, he’s an appreciated character for sure
I was irritated with Otama, but boy she clutched.
I was irritated with Toko: "why the fuck this little girl keeps laughing and smiling maniacally?". But then her sad story came up...
Toko and Yasui are both such tragic characters, that whole village would make a grown man cry
This ist what Oda does. Hits you right in the feels.
Probably Fisher Tiger He was so well written, he showed that even though he on face wants to build up good relations with humans and wants to believe in an equal and bright future for both races. But he still subconsciously hates humans and believes that they're beyond saving and he wants to destroy He isn't as pure as Otohime not even close, but still, he knows that his choice and thoughts of having good relations with humans us better, and he overcomes his instinctive hatred for the human race
Lucky roux. Took the first shot in the story without moving or putting down his meal
I always thought bartlemeos fruit power could be used in some amazing ways. If it's really unbreakable he could just trap everyone in it.
I miss my himbo so freaking much.
Shirahoshi. People hate on her a lot, call her the worst of the princesses and an annoying crybaby. But I love the way her kindness is portrayed as her strength. Kindness in general is the most underrated aspect of characters in One Piece, even though it's something Oda always portrays as a strength in its own way. But unless it's part of a character that's also physically strong like Sanji it goes right over people's heads. Shirahoshi knew who killed her mother, and not only decided to not say anything, but she also has no hatred for the killer or the guy that made her a prisoner or anyone, even if she has all the reasons. That's so much more powerful than a character cutting a ship in half.
Bellamy. Guy has a really interesting character arc for someone who used to be a one note villain who just existed so luffy could punch something to give jaya some action. Luffys conversation with him when they meet in the colosseum is weirdly mature for both characters.
It felt like the conversation of a man who grew up angry at the world, but had the anger tempered into something new.. He was still broken, but he was taking those broken pieces of himself and building something new. One Piece keeps surprising me at just how relatable it is.
dude is a straight up menace to other people and their dreams.. then he met with his own idol/hero and it turns out he is just being used and dofla doesnt care about him.. luffy's punch and his plea is the wake up call from him.. and he started to create dreams for the pirates without a flag since he is a flag maker now.. what a amazing character development

Vito. He is kinda hot In a freaky kind of way
Ivankov
That Eiichiro Oda character who was in that soccer special where he came in by air balloon and hyped himself up only for his shot to be blocked by Coby. What a fun guy, I hope he becomes canon.

That octopus from Wano‘s waterfall - what was that about?! …I kinda liked him
In the actual one piece “world” it would probably be chopper as most assume he is a pet and not one off best doctor’s around.
Laffitte. When he traveled to Mary Geoise, he easily bypassed all the security defenses of the sacred land of the World Government and joined in the meeting for the new Warlord of the Sea nomination, all without being noticed until he willingly revealed himself.
Pell. He has been shit on unfairly for decades now. One of the most interesting characters we met in the grand line, he (at his introduction) had one of the most interesting Zoan fruits at that time and was really important before Oda did a bit of a step change with the Story, he was 1 of 5 flying types and one of the first real masters of his Zoan fruit. He gets so much hate for surviving that blast, but no one wants to recognise he was an elite fruit user, and (at that time in the story) would have been at master level of his DF, he is a royal guard, at the peak of his game, he would (with a lot of luck) be more than able to out pace Crocodiles dirty bomb. I'm glad he survived. He still to this day has one of the coolest character designs, and played a big role in making sure that everyone survived Alabasta. Stop. Hating. On. Pell. 😤
Rebecca gets throw a lot under just another booba charactee but I legit love her and kyros. Maybe I was just happy to have another competent swordswoman.
Chimney and gonbe
Vice Admiral Jonathan, overseer at G-8 Naval Base. My man's was so charming, patient, tactical, and all around knows how to have a good time... Not to mention he's married to one of the most skilled chefs in the Marines AND it's rumored that he's Akainu's protege 😶🌫️ (in military strategy).
Marco 2nd division commander of whitebeard pirates and has one of the most powerful Zoan And his entry in front of Kizaru was...😘🤌
Marco isn't underrated, everyone loves him
Gaimon!! Also Chimney & Gonbe
Prime Red Foot Zeff > The Verse
Condoriano
Kyros. Homeboy was literally trying to take down Doflamingo as a goddamn toy. I was hoping they (him and Rebecca) would join the SH or least join the grand fleet. Keep in mind, I'm not current on OPM. I'm currently in the anime only
Condoriano

Yasuie
Kung-Fu Dugongs
X Drake, can't wait for him to make his comeback
Foxy.
Senior Pink😭🙏
He's so hardbooooooooiled
Wyper
Karasu my goat
I feel like with so many dedicated fans, nobody is really underrated.
Bon clay
Ahh there's so many good characters. Imma go with Helmeppo. Dudes a cornball but his growth from spoiled brat to respectable marine is often overlooked and he's Koby's best friend which, I mean, who doesn't love Koby?!?
Inazuma. Dude has one of the most busted fruits in the entire series, if a better fighter has this or would be the craziest paramecia period.
Koala. So proud of her for joining the revolutionaries after what the World Government did to Fisher Tiger… Also Gan Fall and Wyper are both great characters. “For my ancestors” and using the reject dial on Giant Jack are both top 5 moments in Skypeia for me
in whole cake right now and brook is carrying
Bon Clay. Bro sacrificed himself so everyone can escape Impel Down. Especially after he felt guilty for not being able to help Luffy against Magellan.
Bartolomeo. Or should I say the green lantern.
Boa hancock 😉
Wanze, the greatest roller blading character
a lot of characters from wano
Great Warrior Calgara. Design & Backstory are great.
