The ''One Piece'' manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Eiichiro Oda. The series takes place in a fictional universe where vast numbers of pirates, soldiers, revolutionaries, and other adventurers fight each other, using various superhuman and supernatural abilities. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of pirates as they search for the series treasure. The main character of the series is Monkey D.

During the course of series, Luffy gathers himself a crew of misfits, named The Straw Hat Pirates, so far including the three swords wielding Roronoa Zoro, the master thief and expert navigator Nami, the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp, the gourmet cook and martial-artist Sanji, the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cyborg shipwright Franky, and the living skeleton musician Brook. Together they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams, encountering other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the World Government, and various other friends and foes.

Creation and conception

When drawing ''One Piece'', Eiichiro Oda was heavily influenced by the manga ''Dragon Ball'' and had the series in mind when designing his characters. Several characters have been stated to be based on actual people, such as Blackbeard (Marshall D. ''Teach'') and Whitebeard (''Edward'' Newgate) being based on the actual pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Some other notable examples includes Roronoa Zoro (François l'Olonnais), Sanji & Zeff (Red Legs Greaves), Jewelry Bonney (Anne Bonny), Scratchmen Apoo (Chui Apoo), Eustass Kidd (William Kidd and Eustace the Monk), X. Drake (Sir Francis Drake), Lafitte (Jean Lafitte), Bartholomew Kuma (Bartholomew Roberts), Captain Morgan (Henry Morgan), Alvida (Awilda), Basil Hawkins (Basil Ringrose and John Hawkins) and Bellamy (Samuel Bellamy).

Protagonists

The Straw Hat Pirates

The protagonists of the ''One Piece'' series are part of the Straw Hat Pirates, a crew of pirates founded and captained by Monkey D. Luffy. Starting out with Luffy alone the crew's number grows throughout the series as Luffy keeps recruiting new members. The name of their first ship is . =

Monkey D. Luffy

= These properties are a result of Oda's desire for the fighting style to be silly, so that no matter how tense a situation gets, the reader can relax without becoming stressed out. Luffy later learns , a technique which increases his blood flow and speed instantly to attack. However, "Gear Second" hacks away Luffy's life force dramatically, increasing a chance of having a much shorter life because he is starving his body, though Luffy rebutles, saying that it doesn't matter as long he saves his friends. After Gear Second wears off, Luffy can recover quickly through replenishing of his nutrient storage. Later on, Luffy learns how to go beyond "Gear Second" and into . Luffy increases the size of his limbs by biting into his thumb and inflating it hard, transfer the air through his entire body, requiring the torso to act as an interface for his various limbs. Used with his already-strong physiology, this apparently gives his arm more mass and a larger area to attack with far greater strength, but he sacrifices mobility for this strength, as his limbs are now so large that Luffy has extreme trouble moving. To deactivate "Gear Third", Luffy leaves the form by exhaling heavily, which can cause him to be propelled backwards. The deactivation of "Gear Third" brings about shrinking, which is a negative side-effect due to the massive expansion undergone prior to release. The amount of time Luffy spends in his shrunken form is roughly equivalent to the amount of time spent in "Gear Third" mode. After his life is saved by Shanks when he is seven years old, Luffy decides to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the series' titular treasure and succeeding Gol D. Roger as King of the Pirates., although he is unaware of this ability. Portgas D. Ace is Luffy's older brother through adoption. Luffy ranked first in all three ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls. . He is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka in the Japanese version of the anime. =

Roronoa Zoro

= Zoro ranked second in all three ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls. . =

Nami

= Nami ranked in the Top 10 of all three ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls. In the SPJA 2008, Nami was nominated in the category "Best Female Character". When a reader asked Oda who Nami is in romantic love with, Oda answered that there will not likely be any romance among the Straw Hat Pirates. Oda explained that he does not portray romance in ''One Piece'' as the series is a shōnen comic, and the young boys who read the comic are not interested in romance. =

Usopp

= Usopp ranked in the Top 10 of all three ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls. =

Sanji

= Sanji ranked in the Top 5 of all three ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls. =

Tony Tony Chopper

= , and by Brina Palencia for Funimation. When creating Chopper, Oda stated that he wanted a mascot who is both cute and fearless. Chopper ranked in the Top 5 of both ''Shōnen Jump'' character popularity polls since the character's introduction. Oda said that the message he wanted to illustrate in regards to Chopper's family situation is that a person who is not blood-related to another person can still be considered as a member of one's family. =

Nico Robin

= =

Franky

= In the English dub, he is voiced by Patrick Seitz (as an adult) and Greg Ayres (as a child) for Funimation. =

Brook

= He does not yet have an English voice, as the English dub has yet to reach that far into the series. The idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in the year 2000.

Major Characters

As the commanding officer of the entire Marine force, Sengoku has absolute power over every action the Marines do, including summoning a Buster Call. The only ones that are above him and command him are the Five Elder Stars. Sengoku apparently ate a paramythia Devil Fruit that allows him to turn into almost like Buddha and becoming similar to a gigantic Daibutsu, which is probably the reason for his nickname. The color of his body (and uniform) seems to change to a dark color, appearing to be ominously shadowed at all times. In this form his body has different proportions, his torso and arms are much larger compared to the rest of his body. This ability gives him a massive power boost to his already impressive strength. Even without his Devil Fruit powers, it is implied that Sengoku also has superhuman strength on his own. He is voiced by Takkou Ishimori.

Coby

Master Chief Petty Officer works together with Helmeppo under Vice Admiral Garp. He was also a former chore boy of Alvida's crew. When he first appeared, Coby was a small, timid, coward. However, thanks to Luffy, he had the courage to leave the crew and fulfill his dream of joining the Marines. Since joining the Marines, he befriends Helmeppo and goes under the tutelage of Garp. Because of training, Coby has learned ''Rokushiki'' and can use "Soru". He is voiced by Mika Doi in the Japanese version.

However, after a series of unlucky events after meeting the Sanji and the Straw Hats, he has somewhat changed. Since then, Fullbody befriended former pirate Jango. Because he admired Jango's dancing skills, he defended him in court after he was captured, at the cost of his own rank.

Spandam

. In the English dub, he is voiced by Kent Williams for Funimation.

Rob Lucci

, in the English dub, he is voiced by Jason Liebrecht for Funimation. is Rob Lucci's pet pidgeon. Hattori was always around him (except while Lucci was fighting). Why Hattori was with Lucci was unknown considering the man's reputation as a heartless mass-murderer, though Lucci has had him since he was a child. He is voiced by Tomokazu Seki in the Japanese version.

Kaku

Kaku is also a skilled swordsman using the art of "Four Swords Style" by using his dual katanas and both legs by using the one of the Rokushiki powers, "Rankyaku". Despite his role as a villain, Kaku is surprisingly honest, even to his enemies, though he doesn't seem to take insults well, but has great sportsmanship in combat. Kaku has a habit of speaking very maturely, despite only being a young adult. He is voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Jerry Jewell for Funimation.

Jabra

Also in combat, Jabra uses a fighting style called "Tekkai Kenpo" ("Iron Body Kung Fu" in the English manga), and is the only Rokushiki fighter capable of moving while using "Tekkai". He is voice by Masaya Takatsuka in the Japanese version.

Blueno

He is voiced by Seiji Sasaki in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Bob Carter for Funimation.

Kumadori

He is a very loud character, and often punctuates his sentences with a loud, dramatic, "YOYOI!!" Kumadori has a strange way of speaking, and tends to repeat or draw out syllables and words in the manner of kabuki actors. He also has a penchant for spouting haikus, even during battles and at other inappropriate times. Overall he is the most eccentric character in the CP9. Kumadori's specialty in fighting is using the Rokushiki power, "Rebirth". Unlike the other CP9 members, Kumadori can use his Rebirth power to control and manipulate his hair to grab or attack his enemies. In battle, Kumadori also uses a khakkhara that emits fire. He is voiced by Hiroaki Yoshida in the Japanese version.

Fukuro

Despite having the ability to "zip it", his biggest personality quirk is having a big mouth (both figuratively and literally). Fukuro also has the strange habit of saying "CHAPAPA" after almost every sentence. He also often blurts things out inconsiderately. Despite one of his ironic nicknames, "The Silent" may refer to his theme of an owl, a predatory bird who attacks silently at night. Fukuro is a Rokushiki fighter like the other CP9 members, except he seems to excel at the Rokushiki powers, "Soru" and "Shigan". Fukuro can combine his Soru and Shigan powers to create his own variation of techniques. He is voiced by Kumiko Watanabe in the Japanese version.

Kalifa

She is voiced by Naomi Shindo in the Japanese version. =

Impel Down Personnel

= is one of three main locations of the World Government (alongside with ''Marineford'' and ''Enies Lobby''), and is known as the world's greatest prison. Impel Down possess a system of levels where the prisoners are sent depending on their crimes; the most dangerous and insanely powerful criminals are sent to Level 6, and the less dangerous to Levels 1-5.

Magellan

that allows him to generate and manipulate poison such as breathing simple and minor toxic gas to put subordinates in place, blowing tear gas-bubbles to stun the opponents, or create an extremely fatal liquid poison. Because of the fruit's powers, Magellan is immune to all types of poison. The poison also gives his food flavor. Magellan can also use the ends of Magellan's horns that are detachable, and can be worn like gloves over his fingers, and can use them for slashing. Magellan's biggest quirk is his severe diarrhea brought upon by his frequent consumption of poisoned food. Although his Devil Fruit power gives him immunity from actually being poisoned, it doesn't spare him from diarrhea. As a result, he spends approximately ten hours each day in the bathroom relieving himself and eight hours sleeping. Though he only performs roughly four hours of duty per day as Chief Warden of Impel Down, he still takes his role quite seriously and does not tolerate the prisoners' bad behavior, as he has permission to execute any one of them he sees fit. Magellan also takes great pride in keeping Impel Down's reputation of being impenetrable and inescapable. Magellan seems to find it amusing whenever someone he doesn't particularly like gets poisoned or suffocated by his powers. He is voiced by Mitsuaki Hoshino in the Japanese version.

Hannyabal

is the Vice Warden of Impel Down. Hannyabal has a habit of saying he owns everything and then having to apologize afterwards for getting ahead of himself. He does this because he is an ambitious person. He also seems to be prone to freudian slips, which often give insight to his previously mentioned, ambitious qualities and his somewhat dark brand of humor. Hannyabal usually tries to show off how tough he really is to the prisoners, which is the reason he is admired amongst the guards. Hannyabal cares more about his own position than the security and welfare of the prison, however he seems only willing to let prisoners escape if they are relatively harmless and show genuine concern when powerful prisoners try to escape. Despite his seemingly lack of seriousness most of the time, due to his desire to get Magellan fired, Hannyabal may get serious when the situation gets to the extreme, especially if he risks getting fired too. His weapon of choice is a kessui (a double bladed naginata). If Hannybal spins it wildly, it create flames to deter any opponent. He is voiced by Tetsuo Goto in the Japanese version.

Sadie

is one out of the two Chief Guards of Impel Down. Sadie is a sadistic person who enjoys bringing pain and torture to others, including Marine allies, and can't seem to get enough of their screams, getting sexually excited hearing them. She also seems to have extreme pride in the virtually perfect defenses of Impel Down, and refuses the assistance of the Marines. She also tends to add an "mmmmm--!?" in the middle of her sentences. Sadie greatly resembles a dominatrix in design and personality. In battle, Sadie uses a thin, torturing whip. She is voiced by Yuka Koyama in the Japanese version.

Saldeath

is one out of the two Chief Guards of Impel Down. Saldeath is not nearly as brutal as the other workers of Impel Down, even going as far as telling his captives that they should be thankful they were captured by him. Nevertheless, he takes the position bestowed upon him in Impel Down very seriously. He also tends to be easily annoyed when Luffy constantly mistakes him for a monkey. Saldeath uses a trident for his weapon of choice. He is voiced by Kazuya Nakai in the Japanese version.

The Four Emperors

=

The Red-Haired Pirates

=

Shanks

Captain

Ben Beckman

is the first mate of the Red-Haired Pirates. Beckman appears to be a lot less fun-loving than the other members of the crew and a lot more relaxed, acting as the level headed member. At times he seems amazed at the actions of Shanks, such as panicking when Luffy was taken, or getting even more drunk when he had already drunk a lot before hand when Mihawk brought news of Luffy's coming. He is first to speak out amongst the crew when they appear. He is also the first to ask questions on situations, such as whether the World Government would try to stop them seeing Whitebeard. Beckman carries a flintlock rifle with him, but he uses it more as a club of some sort than firing it. Beckman appears to have some sort of unknown special power that can be used in conjunction with the gun. He is voiced by Aruno Tahara in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Sean Hennigan for Funimation.

Yasopp

is the sharpshooter of the Red-Haired Pirates, and the father of Usopp and husband of Banchina. He shares many personality traits with his son, including being able to encourage the rest of his crew to join in with his fun. He is very proud of his son Usopp, to the point where he would often talk over and over again about his son to Luffy (which led Luffy to recognize Usopp on sight from Yasopp's stories alone). During his time in Luffy's village Yasopp felt close to Luffy, who was the same age as Usopp, because he was separated from his son Usopp. Yasopp is portrayed as a virtually unequaled sharpshooter, capable of shooting the antennas off an ant at 100 feet without harming the rest of it. Being a sniper, Yasopp carries guns around with him almost all the time. He is mostly seen carrying a musket, likely from his strength increase and personal preference. He is voiced by Michitaka Kobayashi in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Jason Anthony Griffith for 4Kids, and by Scott Freeman for Funimation.

Lucky Roux

Reports of Lucky being the fastest man in the world has been passed off as a myth and hasn't been confirmed to this date. So far, Lucky has been seen using a flintlock as his weapon of choice. He is voiced by Jin Domon in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by David Brimmer for 4Kids, and by John Burgmeier for Funimation.

Rockstar

Before joining the Red-Haired Pirates, he claimed to have been once a famous and big-time pirate of a different pirate crew. Rockstar is a confident member of Shanks' crew who seems to have a lot of pride. When he was insulted by Whitebeard's men, he wanted to fight them because they had damaged his honor. He also tried to use the strength of his captain to back up the importance of a letter he delivered to Whitebeard. He seems very loyal to his captain, sticking up for him in front of Whitebeard. So far, Rockstar's fighting abilities have not been seen yet. He was voiced by Daisuke Gōri in Japanese version, but with the passing of Gōri, his new voice actor has yet to be named. In the English dub, he is voiced by Andrew Chandler for Funimation. =

The Whitebeard Pirates

= The are the strongest pirate crew in the world, as their captain (Whitebeard) was the only person to have ever tied with Gol D. Roger in a fight. The Whitebeard Pirates are divided into sixteen divisions of one hundred men, each led by a high ranking Whitebeard Pirate. Following the death of Whitebeard, their fate is as of yet unknown.

Whitebeard

Captain

Marco

He is voiced by Masakazu Morita in the Japanese version.

Portgas D. Ace

Jozu

He is voiced by Takashi Nagasako in the Japanese version.

Thatch

was the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Thatch was one of the first to try befriending Ace when he had arrived on the ship. Ace responded cynically, and questioned why he is not being held with shackles while on board of the Moby Dick, Thatch merely gave an amused look, as though he believes that was unnecessary. Thatch later found the Dark-Dark Fruit, the Devil Fruit that Blackbeard was after for a long time. This Devil Fruit was the very reason that Blackbeard joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so he killed Thatch and ran off with it, leaving his former commander, Ace, to hunt him down for revenge. All that is known about Thatch's fighting abilities, was that he was a swordsman.

Vista

Like all division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista seems to be very loyal to Whitebeard. He also seems to be modest. Vista is a tall man with a curly mustache and a top hat that ressembles a stereotypical villain. Vista is a swordsman that weilds dual katana swords. He seems to be a swordsman of world renown, shown by the fact that Dracule Mihawk commented that only a fool would not know Vista's name. Vista lives up to his reputation, and was capable of matching Mihawk in sword combat. Vista is also cappable of using ''Ambition''.

Blamenco

is the sixth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Blamenco is a short but muscular man with large lips and has pockets under his chin, possibly on his chest. He dons a standard sash as a belt, tucked inside the loops of his overalls. Blamenco is extremely strong as his weapon of choice is a gigantic mallet twice the size of his body. Blamenco ate an unnamed paramythia Devil Fruit that allows him to store objects in pockets on his body, regardless of the objects size.

Whitebeard Allies

There are forty-three infamous pirate captains (and so their crews) from the ''New World'' who has a friendly relationship with Whitebeard Pirates. The most known and only shown at the moment are "Bohemian Knight" (a beautiful woman commanding a ship that is an icebreaker). They were all under command of Whitebeard during his war against the Marines and The Seven Royal Warlords of the Sea. During this war Monkey D. Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Buggy and Galdino became too allies of Whitebeard. The Warlord Jimbei is also an ally of Whitebeard as he refused to battle against him and so lost his title as a Warlord of the Sea because in the past Whitebeard freed his people from the World Government. =

Kaido

= is one of The Four Emperors. Not much is known about Kaido's personality, but he appears to be a ruthless warrior, slaying Gecko Moria's entire crew ten years ago and was planning to attack Whitebeard during the latter's attempt to save Ace from execution. As one of The Four Emperors, Kaido is one of the strongest pirates in the world. He attempted to take Whitebeard's life, which is something that few would dare, and managed to clash with Shanks. He also once fought on equal grounds against the Warlord Moria, until he somehow gained the upper hand and became victorious. =

Big Mom

= is one of The Four Emperors. As one of The Four Emperors, Big Mom is one of the four (now three, due to Whitebeard's death) most powerful pirates in the world. Along with Kaido, Big Mom has yet to make an actual appearance.

The Revolutionaries

The is an army of globally operating revolutionaries, openly aiming to overthrow the World Government. To that end, they incite revolutions in countries around the world. =

Monkey D. Dragon

= Dragon's personality is mostly unknown due to the many mysteries surrounding him, save for an apparent love for freedom and a belief in fate, traits of a ''D.'' But unlike the other people with the ''Spirit of D.'', he has a stern and serious demeanor, however in all of his appearances thus far, except at Gol D. Roger's execution, he is seen with a smug grin on his face. Dragon speaks as though he is a mystic of sorts and apparently doesn't like to speak of, or be asked about, his past. He also has a strange habit of always looking towards the ''East Blue'' when in the wind. Dragon is the World Government's greatest enemy and is the most wanted man in the world. It is also strongly hinted that Dragon was behind the events at ''Logue Town'', such as causing a lightning bolt, the sudden, severe rain, and blowing strong winds. Whether or not these attributes are from a Devil Fruit that may allow him to control the weather, or if it was even the result of his own power, is unknown. He is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata in the Japanese version. In the English dubs, he is voiced by Dan Green for 4Kids, and by Bryan Massey for Funimation. =

Emporio Ivankov

= Ivankov has shown his own martial arts style, called the "Newkama Kenpo". He is voiced by Norio Imamura in the Japanese version. Ivankov also bears a strong resemblence to Dr. Frank-N-Furter. =

Inazuma

= He is voiced by Kenji Hamada (male) and Umeka Shōji (female) in the Japanese version.

The Eleven Supernovas

The is a term that refers to the top rookie Pirates, with bounties over 100,000,000 Berries who arrived at the "Sabaody Archipelago". The Eleven Supernovas are Eustass Kid, Monkey D. Luffy, Basil Hawkins, X. Drake, Trafalgar Law, Scratchmen Apoo, Killer, Jewelry Bonney, Roronoa Zoro, and Urouge. =

The Kid Pirates

Eustass Kid

Captain is the captain of the Kid Pirates, and one of the Eleven Supernovas. Kid is notorious for causing a huge amount of civilian casualties. He is generally either angry or making sarcastic jokes. When he feels that he's been insulted, he is quick to resort to violence, like attacking people for apparently for staring at him.

Law also appears to have a sense of honor (or at least respect for those he sees as potential rivals in the future), which is seen when he appears at ''Marineford'' and claims he will help Luffy, because it would be "too lame" if his future enemy were to die. Law ate an unnamed paramythia Devil Fruit that allows him to create a spherical territory of separating and spatially displacing anything and everything inside, such as sticking someone's head to a barrel.

Reception

Allen Divers of Anime News Network comments that the male character designs of the ''One Piece'' manga are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". They further note that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development", but they also point out that the series is driven by its battles in which the main characters each take their "turn in the spotlight". In a review of '''', Carl Kimlinger of ANN describes the visual style of ''One Piece'' as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way." In the same review, Kimlinger notes that "Funimation's English dub is light-years better than the 4Kids debacle", "unusually accurate, professional, and largely enjoyable, which is far, far more than can be said of the previous dub", but notes that Funimation's version of "Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma" and that "the original's fine dance on the edge of mawkish sentimentality is disrupted often enough by less-than-stellar acting". They also state that "Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy is more a generic spunky kid than a personality in his own right, really coming to life only during the action scenes during which she does a fine job of being darned cool." In another review of ''The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta'', Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany". In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, Todd Douglass, Jr. notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad", which "vary from cool and collected to rampaging psychopaths" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime. In the same review, Douglass said that "Some of the voices were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech." Brigitte Schönhense of Splashcomics comments that the "brilliant" () flashbacks into the characters' pasts make them so "likeable and lovable" (German: "sympathisch und liebenswert") and that they are the manga's real strength. Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine comments that Oda's characters are "whacky" and that his "bizarre" character designs create "wonderful characterizations and personalities". He notes the "well illustrated" facial expressions and says that "it's the whacky characterizations and designs that makes One Piece its own". In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that "One Piece's bizarre character designs will keep your attention as they can be very random and often memorable. Not the prettiest, but it will definitely capture your attention."
