Delve into the world of One Piece through our selection of the often underrated characters! These valiant members have often been overlooked, but their heroic actions and unique powers make them some of the most memorable. Discover how these characters defied expectations to become essential assets!
1. O-Tama
O-Tama , a young resident of Wano, uses the Devil Fruit Kibi Kibi no Mi or Millet Fruit to create millet balls that can tame any animal or creature. Despite her young age and innocence, she has shown courage by joining the quest to free Wano.
Her determination to protect her people and her crucial role in the battle against Kaido marked her heroic impact. Her power, as exhausting as it was, notably allowed her to rally members of the Hundred Beasts crew to Luffy's cause, drastically reducing Kaido's numerical superiority and elevating the young O-Tama to the rank of heroine.
2. Usopp
Usopp , Luffy's crew's sharpshooter, is often underestimated due to his panicky fear of danger and pessimistic side.
However, his fighting skills and acts of bravery, especially in Dressrosa, have proven his worth.
His defining moments include setting the World Government flag ablaze in Enies Lobby, his survival on the Boing Archipelago , as well as his confrontation with one of Doflamingo's officers, Trebol, against whom he valiantly defended Leo and the other dwarves of the Tontatta Tribe , demonstrating his strength and dedication.
3. Bonclay (Mr. 2)
Bonclay , or Mr. 2 , possesses the Devil Fruit Mane Mane no Mi which allows him to copy the appearances of the people he touches. Bonclay is a cross-dressing character, wearing a singular appearance and a rather original outfit of a broom dancer. Often underestimated by his appearance, his sacrifices in Alabasta and Impel Down to save Luffy have left their mark. Bonclay adds humanity, friendship, respect, and dedication to the work which have made him a favorite character.
4. Chopper
Chopper, the crew's doctor, is often underestimated due to his cute, endearing side and his small size.
His constant improvement of his Devil Fruit powers, Hito Hito no Mi Human Model , and his determination to perfect his medical skills have shown him to be a trusted character within his crew. Particularly using his Monster Point form, he becomes a considerable asset alongside his companions.
His heroic moments as a medic and fighter, notably at Whole Cake Island against Charlotte Brulée, Charlotte Perospero or even Wano against Queen, reinforce his essential position in the crew.
5. Pedro
Pedro , a mink jaguar encountered in Zo, is the captain of the Guardians of the Whale Forest . The latter showed great courage by sacrificing his life at Whole Cake Island to save his companions and give Luffy the chance to breathe new life into the country of Wano. His loyalty to the cause of the mugiwara has demonstrated his inestimable value, both in combat and in his friendly relations.
6. Rebecca
Rebecca, a gladiator and daughter of the famous warrior Kyros, was often underestimated by the fighters of the Colosseum for her girlish appearance and lack of self-confidence.
She has, however, demonstrated her warrior strength on several occasions in Dressrosa by participating in the Corrida Colosseum tournament and protecting her loved ones. She was also a valuable ally against Diamante, a high-ranking member of Doflamingo's crew, allowing Luffy to gain ground until victory.
7. Bartolomeo
Bartolomeo, an undisputed fan of Luffy, is often considered eccentric. His Devil Fruit Bari Bari no Mi, Barrier Fruit, and his loyalty to Luffy and his crew led him to great feats protecting allies and destroying enemies. Deeply inspired by his idol's determination and strength, Bartolomeo did not let himself be defeated and participated in Dressrosa's victory.
8. Shirahoshi
Shirahoshi, a mermaid princess and daughter of King Neptune, has often been underestimated due to her high sensitivity and fears of the outside world.
However, her power as the ancient weapon Poseidon and her inner strength were crucial, especially in the Fish-Man Island Arc. Constantly harassed by the pirate Vander Decken, she found herself forced to accept his proposals until finally allowing the destruction of the ship Noah which threatened to destroy Fish-Man Island .
9. Baggy the Clown
Baggy the Clown , often seen as a comical and colorful character, eventually rose through the ranks to become one of the 4 Emperors of the Seas.
His rise to power and interactions with other characters make him an underrated character in the eyes of many. The mystery that still weighs on his nomination to the rank of Emperors suggests a well-crafted strategy "in great pomp"!
10. Kobby
Kobby, once a fearful and shy aspiring sailor, has become a respected Navy Vice Admiral.
His progression shows how he could have been underestimated at the beginning of his journey, to finally achieve his goals and his dream of joining the Navy. Despite having climbed the ranks, he remains a humble and modest character, full of empathy and intelligence.
His rise from Shells Town to Vice Admiral and his commitment to justice highlight his unexpected growth.
