Character Discussion Rank the warlords from least favorite to favorite

#45
Seems like i have to make a thread for Boa Hancock and explain why any self respecting human being shouldn't have any love or sympathy for a bitch like that :cheers:
Expect it sometime in the next week

We can talk about that over here bro.

Boa Hancock is this way because of her experiences and roots.
She grew up in an all female Country birthed with the stigma that men are evil.
Then this stigma is cemented with her tragic backstory as a slave to the World Government.
While there, the Celestial Dragons treated her with who knows what type of disgusting perverse acts.
They defiled, abused, and took advantage of her AND her sisters.

We already know that some slaves in the One Piece world known to break free may even commit suicide on top of that emotional wreckage they carry the rest of their lives.

The fact that she can still stay strong is admirable.
She leads her nation to carry on this notion of thinking.
And on top of that she bears the Color of Conquerors, meaning she doesn't bend a knee to anyone.

TLDR: Hancock slander is disrespectful.

1: Blackbeard

The only thing to be said about Blackbeard as a Warlord is how much sense it made for someone like him to become one of them, and being a big fan of the Blackbeard storyline, I think he's got to be at the top of this list.

2: Moriah

Moriah, I think, is an outstandingly fun concept. Maybe not implemented to perfection, but done well enough to warrant praise. His 'relying too much on his crew' shtick was a breath of fresh air after the almost absurd degree of individualistic power fantasy we were exposed to earlier in the series. Honestly, I really love Moriah.

3. Kuma

I also love Kuma's design, I love him in concept as a half-cyborg, his actions are always praiseworthy, and he blends in just enough comedy to adequately undercut his serious demeanor. I've got to say though, he's still underutilized and in ways that will now never be fixed. A shocked or scared Kuma would've been all I'd need to consider him a complete character.

4. Jinbei

Jinbei has a lot that can be said about him. Personally though, his role as a follower while trying to be an effective force of good can not be understated in its simple relatable beauty and it mostly counteracts how boring his character typically is otherwise.

5. Buggy

As a warlord, he suffers, but as a design for a pirate character, I've always liked Buggy one of the most out of all of the One Piece characters.

Moreover, I've always enjoyed the near parallel journey that Buggy has gone on next to Luffy and fantasize about when or if he might be relevant again at the end of the series.

And he's comedy gold.

6. Crocodile

There are a lot of good aspects to Crocodile's character, and the Alabasta arc, where he had a starring role, was one of the best, but looking back, I kind of dislike him. There is a lot of uncertainty to his background and a lot of mystery to it. What was his conflict with Whitebeard? Whats his connection to Ivankov? But having gone this far without a reveal isn't something I really like.

At very least, I'm pretty glad that someone like Crocodile existed trying to circumnavigate the requirements to become Pirate King though.

7. Doffy

It's been noted several times that Doflamingo came off as a bit too strong during the Dressrosa arc. We had been given an impression of him as a master manipulator, and someone who controlled people like puppets, but in his actual fights, there was hardly any of that. What should've been one of the most fun parts of the arc was undercut and never really explored. I suppose somebody with his logical perspective was necessary, but I think that Crocodile did the same thing better.

8. Law

A potentially fun but highly under-utilized character. His fruit gives him so many opportunities for quacky hijinks like body switching and removing a person's vulnerable points, and his role as a parallel captain more on the logical side was ripe for interesting dynamics, so for a while I rated him highly, but he's hardly lives up to his stated potential at all. I'm still going to hold my breath for the next 20 chapters, but for now, I've honestly got to put him low for being so tragically underutilized.

9. Mihawk

I used to like his character a lot more than I do now. His serious shtick was a nice change of pace when he was introduced, but at this point, I just consider it unappealing. A fight between him and Zoro wouldn't feel personally interesting to me; it would just be another box to check. Thus, I rate him really low.

10. Weevil

I think everybody was a bit disappointed to see Whitebeard's biological son finally. And moreover, that's all you can really say about Weevil. I will give it though, that at very least, Weevil's existence properly set the stage of expectations for how surprisingly good Yamato turned out to ultimately be.

11. Hancock

Hancock, honestly, feels like little but a walking trope. Not a person, real or fictional, but simply a trope. Honestly, I don't like either her or the result of her story arc. She fails as both a justified ally and a satisfactorily defeated villain for me. Moreover, she's one of the most wanked characters on this platform. I've got to put her on the bottom for now.

I think the Shichibukai group in general in one of the best one Oda created in the manga or at least the original ones.

Mihawk - first Shichibukai to show the real danger of grandline by humiliating Zoro, ending up as his ultimate goal, with his loner attitude while seeking for the strongest swordsmen, his rivalry with Shanks alongside an awesome design

Crocodile - defeated the main multiple times, showed a great threat lvl in alabasta, grandline experience, ambition seeking pluton(one of the ancient weapons) , while having a great swag

Doflamingo - his trickery, usual laugh / smile, original design with the pink swag in contrast to Crocodiles, past as celestial dragon while becoming a commoner allowing him to experience the life style of both sides, cruel attitude ending up killing his father, his brother, while being the first major antagonist of the new world in development with a previous crewmember(Law) seeking to avenge his brother

Kuma - A revolutionary disguised as a pirate tyrant in a secret mission only known by Dragon before the events of MF, becoming a Shichibukai, working for the government undercover with mysteries surrounding the reason behind experiments on him to create pacistas, ultimately becoming one himself and being treated as a slave by celestial dragons. All that while being singlehandily responsible in giving a crushing defeat to the SHs twice while saving them at the same in preparation to the 2 years time skip

Hancock - A former slave saved by Fisher tiger from celestial dragons, growing alongside her sisters after eating a fruit, becoming the princess of Amazon lily, conquering the world with her powers, her beauty, except for the one she actually fell in love with(Luffy) lol, ultimately playing the role of ally

Jinbei - representation of the Fishman race, knight of the sea, who originally seemed to have superiority complex through Arlong's doings until hearing their story, the story of Fisher Tiger former slave of celestial dragons, trying to follow into Fisher tiger's path and acting as a symbolism between humans and fishmen, great bond with Ace which indirectly created another one with Luffy, ultimately saving his life by sharing blood with him in FI and ending up as a crewmember to look over him as Ace wished as well as helping him accomplish his goal

Moria - Initially viewed as a super rookie until losing to Kaido in Wano, experiencing the pain of losing his men without being able to do anything, basically an alternate version of the Strawhats if they didn't have plot armor, all of that pushing him to change his motto into a "lazy" motto, counting on zombies to do his bidings

So overall the stories behind the original Shichibukai, their impact into the story was awesome, so much that i can't even tell I dislike any of them, but if I were to rank them from favorite to least favorite, it'd probably look this way


1. Mihawk
2. Kuma
3. Crocodile
4. Doflamingo
5. Boa
6. Jinbei
7. Moria

If Law, Teach, Buggy and Weevil are counted, it'd look more like this though

1. Law
2. Mihawk
3. Kuma
4. Crocodile
5. Doflamingo
6. Boa
7. Teach
8. Buggy
9. Jinbei
10. Moria
11. Weevil
