General & Others The Most Important ...

[Inspector_Mu]

This thread isn't about Powerlevel but rather importance!

The characters that Oda has been emphasising a lot in a crew :
Marco was important rookie and then the most important WB's commander/ Shanks and Buggy were important rookies in Roger ship / Jack / Katakuri/ Benn / Burgess/ Vergo/ ....

Who is the most important Strawhat?
I say Ussop! Zoro is the strongest but Ussop is the person Oda really put more focus into, especially when he quitted and fought Luffy, his path, his impact ...even Merry Ship was from Ussop ideas .

Lol don't start creating a mess here

There is no other answer but the guy who even inspired Sanji, Roronoa Zoro. After him would be Nami. After Nami you can debate between Usopp & Sanji.

Robin

I guess that Oda doesn't consider her much anymore because he is wasting her potential

Usopp is clearly not the most important btw lol it is obviously Luffy, no matter what kind of shenanigans we look for

Overall in the series?

Luffy>Zoro/Nami>Ussop/Sanji>Robin/Jinbei>Chopper>Franky/Brook

The first five are pretty clearly Oda's favourites and the ones who get the most continual focus put on them. Zoro and Nami edge out Ussop and Sanji because, arc after arc, they will consistently be given focus. Ussop and Sanji have their joining arcs and W7/EL and WCI, but in other arcs they tend to just drop behind Zoro and Nami. Jaya/Skypiea's the arc I thinking this is most obvious in- and is the arc I think best acts as a sort of microcosm of One Piece as a whole.

Robin and Jinbei have importance to the overall world, and will have times where they get a load of focus, but outside those times have a tendency to fade to the background (Robin) or... disappear completely (Jinbei)

Chopper's someone who Oda seems to like to bounce off a lot of other characters in the B plot without ever really stepping into the A plot. His journey to be someone to be depended on, and the length of time he's spent in the series, just edges him out over Franky and Brook, who are solidly fun characters who don't really have as much of a, dunno how to put it, personal journey as Chopper gets.

The most important strawhats, bar Luffy, are Zoro and Nami.
Oda said they are the triggers of One Piece with Luffy.

Lol nope

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Just because oda likes usopp doesn't mean he is the most important straw hat after luffy.
He will be a kind of narrator by eos, telling the crew's stories.
The most important one like others said is probably zoro, and then nami. It's a tie between usopp and sanji.

Oh I recall that .

Pillars of OP I think.

Zoro

Sanji is the only character that Oda dedicated 2 bows. He has the most post TS fight panels.
Comic moments are always involving Sanji too.

He is very important.
