For some entries I've done before, I've counted down my top 10 favourite character from different anime series. And so here, I'm going to be counting down my favourite characters from an anime I've been watching for a while, One Piece. As I said in November of last year, One Piece was an anime I wanted to start watching and I've mentioned it a few times in a few of my previous entries. I've even mentioned before about how Luffy is one of my favourite anime protagonists now from what I've watched. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Tony Tony Chopper:
Starting us off is this half human, half reindeer creature who's both a doctor and an adorable companion. Mainly just called Chopper, this guy's home was held by the tyrannical Waffle until Luffy and his crew freed it. Chopper then joined the crew and can even turn into a huge beast-like form from having one of the Devil Fruits. So, basically, never push him too far.
9. Nami:
This burglar started off doing nothing but just stealing all the treasure she could find. In fact, at times, even after she joined Luffy's crew, she made it look like she betrayed him a couple of times just for treasure. However, when it came time to see why, it was revealed she was only doing it to buy the freedom of her homeland from the shark men. Once Luffy defeated them and freed her home, she joined the team for real as the navigator and has helped out on many occasions.
8. Robin:
One of the more traumatic members of the Straw Hat Pirate crew, Robin has had one saddened life. Her family and home was destroyed and she was immediately branded as a criminal. When the world government went after her, she spent twenty years on the run and was hated everywhere. After serving a villain, she eventually met Luffy who offered her the friendship she had been longing forever. After Luffy and the others went up against the world government to free her, she joined the Straw Hat Pirates and is one of nicest, sweetest and kind-hearted members. Especially towards Luffy himself.
7. Sanji:
Given Luffy's appetite, it would make sense that he would want the best chef ever. That description falls to Sanji. A cigarette-smoking lady's man who flirts with any woman he meets. He was once a boy who was saved by his mentor cook and he felt he needed to repay him. He also has a power in his leg to make it turn into some sort of hot molten. And his life-long dream is to find something called the All Blue.
6. Usopp:
This professional marksman started off as a cowardly pathological liar who was the friend to a woman who loved his tall tales. Once Luffy, Zoro and Nami heled his stop her butler from killing her, he decided to leave and become of the first crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates. Plus, let's face it, if it wasn't for him, Luffy never would have gotten his ship, the Going Mary. He's also probably the funniest character in the series and has been one of Luffy's biggest supporters.
5. Trafalgar Law:
Once an enemy to the Straw Hat Pirates, this guy quickly turned and became one of Luffy's biggest allies. Another character with a Devil Fruit power, not only did he save Luffy's life, he also helped him reach Amazon Lily while he was knocked out. He even managed to avenge his friend when fighting the villain Doflamingo. He even has a tragic backstory and that's all added up to make an extremely likeable character.
4. Ace:
Luffy's adopted older brother is at number 4. The biological son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, this guy was introduced as a member of White Beard's crew. He also has a Devil Fruit power. He has the powers of the Flame-Flame Fruit. The entire time he was there, he was fun and a funny character to watch until he was captured by the world government. Despite Luffy doing everything he could to save him, Ace eventually died saving Luffy's life, which is still the saddest moment in the series so far. Especially when you listen to the goodbye he says to Luffy just before he dies with a smile on his face.
3. Shanks:
Luffy's childhood pirate friend is at number 3. This guy is the main reason for a lot of things in Luffy's life. He's the main reason Luffy wanted to become a pirate and he's the one who gave him his iconic straw hat. When he came back one day, he saved Luffy from a gang of pirates and even saved him from a huge sea creature and lost his left arm doing so. This guy actually reminds me a lot of Gildarts from Fairy Tail in a lot of ways to me. They both look the same and have the same kinda personality. Shanks is also like a father figure to Luffy and is one of the nicest and friendliest characters I've seen in the series so far.
2. Zoro:
Coming in close to number 1 is the former pirate hunter and Luffy's first real companion, Roronoa Zoro. There are none that even come close to how likeable this guy is. When Luffy freed him from the marines, he joined him and became Luffy's first crew member. They quickly became close friends and Zoro has so much likeability to him. He even deals in the three-sword fighting style, which has proven useful time and time again. He's made a goal for himself to become the world's greatest swordsman. What's even better though is his undying loyalty. Doing whatever it takes to protect everyone, especially Luffy and making sure he's safe and doing everything to get him out of trouble.
And my number 1 favourite One Piece character is... Luffy:
And finally at number 1 is the Straw Hat Pirate himself, Monkey D. Luffy. Are you really surprised? This main character has so much to him. This ambitious pirate captain has the dream of finding the One Piece and becoming the King of the Pirates. Despite being, probably, the dumbest anime character ever, Luffy's personality shine through so much that you just ignore that and love him. Just like any anime protagonist out there, Luffy will do whatever it takes to protect him friends, or crew in this case, and even any other innocent person. He declared war on the world government to protect Robin, saved Nami's homeland, saved an island from a violent uprising, took on the navy to save Ace, protected people on Amazon Lily despite being hated there originally. He may be not be the most loved person on the sea, but, just like so many people like him, he's truly an anime hero. He's also super funny and likeable. And all that Luffy is my favourite One Piece character and definitely one of my favourite anime protagonists ever.
