Great Corsairs
Seven Great Corsairs (Japanese: 王下七武海 Shichibukai, Seven Great Corsairs)- these are seven pirates with whom the World Government entered into an agreement. In exchange for removing the reward for their capture, the pirates undertake to attack only other pirates and give 10th of the loot to the World Government. Despite the small number of Great Corsairs, each of them had impressive rewards for their capture in the past and were dangerous pirates. Their main area of operation is the Grand Line.
The Great Corsairs include:

11 supernovae
The 11 rookie pirates who arrived on Sabaody at almost the same time, whose bounty is more than 100 million bellis, are collectively called the “11 Supernovae”:
Marine
Marine (Japanese: 海軍 Kaigun) - the main naval force of the world government in the fight against pirates. The Marines have enormous human and material resources. Marine bases are located all over the world, but the main focus is on the Grand Line. However, it should be noted that in the second half of the Grand Line, in the New World, the fleet has much less ability to control and combat pirates. There, the main force and authority are the four Yonko.
Marshal of the Watch was "Buddha" Sengoku, possessing the mythical zoan Man-Man, a model Buddha statue, allowing him to transform into a Buddha and create powerful shock waves. After the Battle of Marineford, he resigned due to the fact that he could no longer tolerate the actions of the world government.
The strongest admirals of the Marine fleet are considered "Blue Pheasant" Kuzan, manager of ice, "Scarlet Dog" Sakazuki(voiced by Tachiki Fumihiko), whose Magma-Magma Fruit powers allow him to control magma, and "Yellow Monkey" Borsalino(voiced by Unsho Ishizuka), thanks to the Glitter Glitter fruit, he controls light particles. Following the resignation of Marshal Sengoku, Sakazuki and Kuzan fought over his position, leading to the former becoming the new Marine Marshal and the latter resigning. As revealed in the Dressrosa arc, Kuzan's place was taken by a new fleet admiral, "Purple Tiger" Issho is a blind old man with a cross-shaped scar across both eyes who has the devil fruit's ability to control gravity and summon meteorites.

Smoker is accompanied by his team: "Cell Man" Hina, captain 1st rank of the Marines, and petty officer 1st class, and later captain 1st rank Tashigi, a clumsy girl who has set herself the goal of taking all the famous swords from the hands of those who would use them for their own purposes. For this reason, Roronoa is pursued by Zoro, who possesses three of these swords.
Kobe- a young man who served as a cabin boy on a ship in the East Blue, and was later rescued by Luffy and joined the Marines. Together with Helmeppo, son of caperang Morgan, found himself under the command of Admiral Garp. During the battle with Whitebeard, Koby's Will of the Contemplator awakened. Two years later, it turns out that Kobe has already received the rank of captain of the 1st rank.
Cypher Paul
Cypher Paul (Japanese: サイファーポール Saifa Poru, English Cipherpol) lit. - "Cipher-Pol"- an organization controlled only by the world government and mainly engaged in its “dirty affairs”, often resorting to illegal methods. It is divided into 8 groups, designated CP1-CP8, and there is also a secret, ninth Cypher Pol - CP9. There is also CP0 "Aegis" - the strongest group of Cypher Pol, working directly under the command of the World Nobles.
Before Luffy's team defeated them, the ninth Cypher Paul included:
- Spandam, head of CP9, despite such a high position, is very weak and in battle relies only on his sword, which is endowed with the power of the zoan fruit that turns him into an elephant.

- Nero, was in contention to join CP9, but was killed by Rob Lucci for being weak.
It should be noted that every member of CP9, except Spandam, is proficient in the martial art of the Six Fighting Styles ( translated from Japanese. "Six Styles"), which gives them superhuman strength, durability and speed.

He possesses the Delhi-Delhi Devil Fruit's ability to split his body into parts and control them. Two years later, it turns out that he took the post of Great Corsair.
Alvida (Japanese: アルビダ Arubida) Iron Club was the first opponent Luffy defeated and the captain of his own crew. After her defeat, she ate the Slip-Slide fruit, turning into a beauty, and joined the Buggy Pirates to capture Luffy.
Black Cat Pirates (Captain Kuro)
The Black Cat Pirates appear at the beginning of the work on their home island. Pirate captain "Strategist" Kuro, tired of being persecuted by the Marines, faked his death three years before the start of the work. He took a job in the home of a wealthy family and planned activities that would allow him to gain wealth in a "legal" way so that he could quit piracy. Was stopped by Luffy's crew.
As you know, Oda “stitched” a huge number of references to real historical figures, legends and characters into One Piece. This section is all about the external similarity of the One Piece heroes and their prototypes!
Usopp is the main liar on Luffy's team, whose name means "liar" in Japanese. We bet that you have already guessed that the presence of a long nose is clearly not for nothing... Surely Oda borrowed the “liar’s nose” from the famous Italian fairy tale by Carlo Collodi - Pinocchio!
Luffy's characteristic spiky hair, Hawaiian shirt and mischievous nature as a carpenter can't help but remind Jim Carrey's character in the 1994 film Ace Ventura of the same name.
The similarities between Van Auger's costume, gun, and Adolphus from Terry Gilliam's 1988 film The Adventures of Baron Munchausen are obvious.
Aokiji's prototype is Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda, who died in 1989; The image of the detective from the Tantei Monogatari series most influenced the appearance of the admiral;
Kizaru - Kunie Tanaka and his role as Borsalino from the film "Trakk Yaro";
And Akainu is Bunta Sugawara; The admiral received his name from the trilogy "Soshiki boryoku: kyodai sakazuki" (1968-1971);
In Japan, there are 2 legends about little heroic boys who are dedicated to the spring holidays. One of them, Kintaro (golden boy - Japanese) is a copy of Sentomaru's appearance, and the other, Momotaro (peach boy - Japanese) gave him the hieroglyph "peach" in his name (). Three admirals are also taken from the legend of Momotaro - on his way to the evil demon, the main character of the legend met a monkey, a pheasant and a dog.
Many fans believe that the image of Django was inspired by Ode singers Michael Jackson (the famous moonwalk) and Steven Tyler,
And declarations of love for the work of rapper Eminem in one of the interviews gave rise to rumors about his features in the image of the god Enel.
Trafalgar Law is very similar to the stereotype of a modern rocker boy and is reminiscent of one of the Mtv presenters - Mystery.
Basil Hawkins, with his makeup and transformation into a straw man, is very reminiscent of Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison.
Whether it's cruel irony or Oda's love for crunchy breakfasts, Foxy is the spitting image of Count Chocola from a box of chocolate cereal.
Snakes in the Amazon Lily - snakes from Walt Disney cartoons.
Emporio Ivankov - Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-en-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
MONKEY D. LUFFY
Luffy is known for his Straw Hat (which earned him the nickname "Straw Hat Luffy"). It was given to him as a child by the legendary pirate Red-Haired Shanks. Luffy promised that he would return her when they met again. Luffy usually wears vests that change color in different arcs, knee-length denim shorts, and straw sandals. But sometimes his clothing suits the climate of the islands, such as the winter coat on Drum Island or the desert clothing on Arabasta. Outwardly, he looks like a real child, and therefore the attitude towards him is often frivolous. Luffy has a scar under his left eye (which he received in the first chapter when he cut his face to prove his manhood to Shanks and his crew), dark brown eyes, and black hair. Luffy is short, thin, despite the fact that he eats more than a hundred people, is physically well developed, agile and very strong. Eichiro Oda said that most of all Luffy resembles a monkey (and even his antics are appropriate).
Character:
Luffy is not very smart, but he has developed intuition, which he unconditionally relies on. Kind, but not to the point of babying. Often cruel, especially if he needs to protect or avenge his nakama, or any other person he likes. Luffy has the ability to attract people to himself, change them for the better, lead them, and make even enemies his allies. It was this property that was called the most dangerous ability in all the seas. Luffy has the pure heart, naivety and gullibility of a child. He didn't even feel an ounce of desire while looking at the most beautiful of women - Boa Hancock - and therefore her attack didn't work on him. His spontaneity, combined with restlessness and hyperactivity, brings many moments of excitement to his nakama.
Childhood:
History is silent about how exactly Luffy spent the first years of his life and met Shanks. However, the fact remains that the red-haired pirate inspired Luffy to become a pirate and search for One Piece. And the scar under Luffy's eye reminds him that in his early childhood the boy injured himself and almost cut out his own eye in an attempt to prove to Shanks that he was already an adult. Moreover, Shanks saved little Luffy's life by sacrificing his left arm. It is not surprising that at the age of seven, Luffy found an idol who gave him that same straw hat. Poor grandfather Marine Monkey D. Garp could not even imagine that the merciless training for survival in the mountains and jungle, which he arranged for his grandson, would develop remarkable endurance in the future... pirate. As soon as the boy turned 17, he got into a boat, hoisted a pathetic semblance of a pirate flag next to him and set off in splendid isolation into the open ocean, not at all worried about the fact that if something happened he would go to the bottom with an axe. However, luck befriended the insolent guy - so much so that in a short time he managed to assemble a pirate crew, get himself a ship, slip onto the Grand Line and by now earn a rather large price on his head.
Habits:
Luffy has many illogical habits. Outside of combat, he does not listen to those around him, and is often distracted and away from the essence of the matter. If he plans something, he will do it; the level of recklessness and strangeness of the desire does not bother him. He loves to sit on the bow of a ship, eat meat in unlimited quantities and look for a dozen or so adventures for his straw hat.
Attacks:
Most of Luffy's attacks are based on the power of the Devil Fruit. Since he inadvertently ate the Gomu-Gomu Fruit as a child and became a "rubber man", Luffy can stretch any part of his body and deflect bullets, cannonballs and other firearms.
Place of Birth:
East Blue, Shimotsuki Village
He is the second member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the first one Luffy made his nakama. On the team, he is the swordsman, the attacking force, and does not hold any other positions. But despite this, fans sometimes attribute to him the role of first mate. Zoro is one of those pirates called the "Eleven Supernovas".
Zoro is a very serious, stern and uncommunicative young man. One might even say closed. But traveling with a crew assembled by such a crazy person as Luffy often throws him off balance. Zoro laughs and gets nervous and angry much more often than before meeting the captain. Zoro loves to drink and doesn't get drunk. There's a lot of rum and ale in it. He's generally not a fool to have fun, and especially to get involved in some adventures after Luffy. The swordsman trusts Luffy unconditionally in critical situations, but considers him completely unreliable in peaceful life. Zoro always supports Luffy in everything except for those moments when he speaks outright nonsense (such as when Luffy called a zombie tree and a zombie unicorn to the team) and is always fully aware of the seriousness of the situation (when Usopp left the team). At the very beginning of the journey, Zoro set the condition for Luffy that he would follow him only as long as he did not interfere with the swordsman's dreams. But later, in the Thriller Bark arc, Zoro without hesitation offered his life in exchange for the life of the captain, because he considered his dream more important than his own. Zoro, although not technically a samurai, has a strong moral code. He treats his katanas as living beings, with respect and even awe. Zoro is persistent in achieving his goal. And he stubbornly pursues his dream - to become the best swordsman in the world. He is constantly looking for strong opponents and rejoices when he finds them. If the fight gets serious, Zoro will remove his bandana from his arm and tie it around his head. Apparently this helps him concentrate. Zoro is also a supporter of radical methods. For example, in order to free himself from captivity, he is capable of cutting off his own arm or leg. Zoro is capable of thoughtful and balanced, sometimes cruel and unpleasant decisions in bad times, and of an objective assessment of the situation. For example, in Water 7, the entire team wanted the return of Usopp, who left them, but Zoro forbade them to even think about it until he understood what he was wrong about and apologized. Because Luffy is the captain, and leaving the crew and then returning as if nothing had happened means undermining his status. And at the same time, Zoro often relies on luck. He told the team as much as they were flying on the sea train through the gates of Enies Lobby. If you need to kill or threaten someone, then Zoro is always in the forefront. Zoro has a chronic and incurable form of topographic cretinism. He can get lost even if he needs to walk a few steps in a straight line, and because of this he is often teased. He himself is completely unaware of this problem, and every time, separated from the team and lost, Zoro grumbles that it was the others who got lost again. But at the same time, all his senses are acute, and he is often the first of the Straw Hats to sense the approach of an enemy or other danger. While the ship sails peacefully to the next island, Zoro either trains by lifting weights or sleeps soundly on the deck. On the Going Merry his job was to lift the heavy anchor. The South Sunny, judging by the fact that he was given a crow's nest for the training hall, is entrusted with the duty of lookout.
The swordsman enjoys competing with Sanji. They annoy each other a little more than completely, and they constantly have comical squabbles. But at the same time, they are good and faithful comrades, although they will never admit it. And if they act together against a common enemy, then their tandem is unstoppable.
Before the main story began, Zoro traveled with two bounty hunting partners, Johnny and Yozaku. They call him "aniki" (elder brother). Their relationship was and remains good, only now, due to the fact that Zoro has become an official criminal, they cannot appear together, so as not to be punished. As a child, Zoro was friends with Kuina. She was the daughter of the owner of the dojo where Zoro grew up and studied, and he was never able to defeat her. But soon after they made a promise to each other to become the best swordsmen in the world, Quina died. Zoro is still true to his oath.
Zoro is the team's main swordsman. He is capable of using one-, two-, and three-sword fighting styles in different situations and for different purposes. But Zoro still prefers the three-sword style - Santōryū (one sword in each hand, and the third in the mouth, and this is always Wado Ichimonji) Since no one else has been seen using Santōryū, it can be assumed that Zoro himself created it and all or at least most of the attacks. And Zoro is constantly improving his style and adding new attacks to it. During his fight with Daz Bones (Mr. 1), Zoro demonstrated mastery of such a technique or ability as the ability to “cut what is not there” or hear “the breathing of things,” while saying: “The sword that cuts nothing cuts steel... ". She allowed Zoro to cut what was required, even if it was steel, and leave intact objects that did not need to be destroyed.
In his fight with Kaku, Zoro showed a new attack, which he called "Asura". At the moment of its use, Zoro was surrounded by a dark aura, and the illusion appeared that the swordsman, like the deities of the same name, had three faces and six arms. And although this is an illusion, the power of any attack in this state increases threefold. What this technique is and how he achieved it is unknown, but Kaku suggested that Asura is created by Zoro's spirit. It is possible that Asura is one of the possibilities for using Will. But even if he has only one sword left, or none at all, Zoro remains a dangerous opponent. If Zoro fights with those whom he does not want to kill (weak enemies or mere bystanders), then he uses the reverse, unsharpened sides of his swords. Although, as Nami said, even so he can inadvertently cause injuries to a person that are incompatible with life.
Place of Birth:
East Blue, Cocoyashi Village
Nami is one of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates. She takes the place of the navigator and was the second one to join Luffy. During the events at Baratti's Restaurant, she left the team, but returned after defeating Arlong.
Nami is a young, well-built girl with fiery red hair and brown eyes. Many people find her very attractive. She has a tattoo on her left shoulder of a pinwheel and a tangerine (a reference to Belmerra and Genzo), which was given to her in place of her mark denoting her membership in the Arlong Pirates.
Nami is one of the most erudite crew members aboard the Sunny and, as stated by Oda, the third smartest in the entire East Blue, while Ben Backman of Shanks' crew is in first place and Captain Kuro is in second. At the beginning, Nami hates all pirates, considering them disgusting people, which is associated with her childhood memories. She changed her mind after meeting Luffy and Zoro.
Nami is a very greedy person, she is capable of almost anything for money. This love of money originates in childhood, as she, her adoptive mother and sister lived extremely poorly. But despite this, if she is given a choice between friends and money, she will undoubtedly choose the first. Nami has a very hot-tempered personality, and she is especially infuriated by the carelessness and stupidity of some of her team members. He likes to boss everyone around, including Luffy, despite the fact that he is the captain of the crew. She doesn't quite understand "boyish" principles and fighting is one of those things where she doesn't have the final say.
Despite the fact that Luffy irritates her with his spontaneity, she respects him as a captain, and after defeating Arlong, he is quite her best friend. Nami often takes advantage of Sanji's attitude towards her, although he probably even likes it. Zoro tries not to get involved with her again, but managed to owe her 100,000 Belli. She gets along best with Robin, believes that she is the only one who understands her, and treats her like an older sister.
Nami is not particularly strong in combat, but is very knowledgeable in cartography, geography, meteorology, and bathymetry. After Luffy defeats Arlong and destroys the building and Nami's former room where she had to draw maps for her boss throughout her childhood, it becomes clear how much experience she has in drawing maps. She has the unique ability to notice any seemingly minor changes in the weather and make quick decisions based on them. There were times when she could predict the appearance of a storm even when even the sky was still clear. The climate on the Grand Line is extremely changeable and sometimes only the skills of navigator Nami saved the crew from a shipwreck.
Usopp is a sniper on the Straw Hat team. He is the fourth member of the team, the third to join Luffy, and the third to return to the team at the end of the Post Enies Lobby arc.
For most of the story, Usopp is a tanned, thin teenager with black curly hair and a long nose. He usually wears a dark yellow checkered bandana, a blue and white striped armband on his left arm, and special sniper goggles (he also has a pair of clear rectangular goggles which he sometimes wears in situations where he doesn't have his sniper goggles, like when he first met with the Straw Hats or when his sniper glasses were stolen by Mr. 2), brown overalls with a white belt and no shirt underneath (although he wore a dark green shirt in the Skypiea arc). He also carries a yellow backpack with him, which he uses to store all his tools and gadgets. Usopp inherited his famous nose from his mother, while the rest of his face resembles his father. During the division of the team, after landing in the forest of gluttony, Usopp gained weight.
After the two-year time skip, Usopp lost weight and grew his hair. He also improved his muscles. Usopp now has a new pair of goggles around his neck (his sniper goggles are not shown) and has hearing protection headphones on his ears. He grew a small beard and a new, white sun hat on his head. He has a new pair of rolled up yellow pants with red suspenders and boots. His yellow satchel has been replaced with a red one, but he still wears a blue and white wrist band on his left arm.
Usopp is one of the more sentimental Straw Hat Pirates, and cries or loses his temper during moments of emotional stress. At the beginning of the series, Usopp was easily scared, anxious, insecure, and a compulsive liar. Unlike Nami (whose cowardice stems from simply wanting to stay alive), Usopp's cowardice is a result of his fear and insecurity, especially when faced with uncertainty. Although Usopp is a coward by nature, he is able to put aside his fears during more desperate times: despite being afraid, he faces these fears for the sake of his friends and sometimes people he barely knows. Most of his lying down was intended to make him feel better, as Usopp easily overwhelms his opponents, such as Aokiji. He was the first to come up with an excuse not to do something to avoid putting himself in danger. One of the most commonly used excuses is that it gives the disease a name, such as "can't-get-on-this-sick-island." He also has delusions of being a commander, and considered himself a captain when he first joined and continues to call himself "Captain Usopp" when talking to Chopper, the enemy, or aliens.
This leads to his battle with Luffy - specifically his refusal to part with the Going Merry. This was the result of all his insecurities about his usefulness as a crew member culminating in him finally exploding under the stress, having just been severely beaten by Franky's family and then losing his ship. He was worried since he is not as physically strong compared to Luffy, Sanji and Zoro, he was only a burden to the crew. Although he is a very smart and talented sniper, he has a hard time seeing his best qualities and strengths until the Battle of Enies Lobby opens his eyes.
Throughout the Thriller Bark arc, many of the crew became victims of the effects of Perona's negative spirits, causing them to become specific pessimists. However, Usopp, even slightly exercising power, rose to his feet stating that he couldn't become negative because he was already negative/depressed, even saying it was in a boast-like way. Perona claimed that he was the only person to ever defend himself against her power, going so far as to use her power on his reasons to make her suffer depression, so she ran away from him in fear. After learning of Ace's death, he developed the courage to run and help Luffy through difficulties or else he would not call himself nakaoi. Usopp shows an unusual lack of fear in his attempts to get off the island in order to return Luffy, shown without hesitation standing in front of a giant beetle that was larger than him.
Sanji
Sanji is the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates. Everyone loves him for this. He is the fifth crew member, the fourth to join Luffy. Sanji was born in North Blue, and he is the first on the team who is not from East Blue. We first meet him in the Baratie Floating Restaurant. Before Sanji came to the Baratie restaurant, he constantly threw leftover food off his plates. But one incident made him seriously change his mind. There was no vegetation on the island and, accordingly, no animals—just bare stone. It was possible to go down from the island to get fish, but it was unlikely to go back up. They have some food left. Zeff took most of it for himself, leaving Sanji with a small bag, explaining that he was a child and needed less food. Sanji knew how to manage the food—if distributed properly, it would last for 2 weeks. But the ships did not approach the island. After a few weeks, the hunger became unbearable, and a desperate Sanji decided to kill Zeff and take his food. To his surprise, an untouched bag was waiting for him on the other side of the island, and Zeff was missing one leg. There was gold in the bag. Realizing that Zeff had given him all the food and was starving (and in the manga he actually ate his leg), Sanji burst into tears and swore that if they were rescued from this island, he would help Zeff open a restaurant that would float at sea and feed those who were left voyaging without food. Soon, Zeff and Sanji were picked up by a passing ship. After this incident, Sanji and Zeff opened the Baratie restaurant, where they cook the best dishes in East Blue. Even if the client has no money, but is very hungry, Sanji does not refuse a piece of bread - he knows better than anyone else what it means to die of hunger in the middle of the endless ocean. In battle, Sanji fights only with his legs, in order not to damage his hands, which he uses to prepare food. The force of his blows is so great that it can change the bone structure of a person's face (as, for example, in the case of Duval). Sanji is one of the strongest in the Straw Hat team. Slightly inferior in strength to Zoro, Sanji sees him as an eternal rival, although he still respects him very much and values his friendship. Sanji can't resist beauties. He pays especially much attention to the women of Luffy's crew - Nami and Nico Robin. He also cannot harm girls, as was shown in the Enies Lobby arc during his fight with Kalifa. Sanji is a heavy smoker. He is rarely seen on screen without a cigarette in his mouth. Due to the fact that the photographer did not remove the cover from the camera, the photograph on the poster with the bounty on his head was drawn by hand. After two years of training, Sanji gained a mustache and a small beard, and his bangs began to cover his right eye. There was also a curl on the eyebrow of the left one (and in the same direction as the right one). Due to the fact that the training took place on the island of Okam, he was very yearning for the fair sex. So much so that even at the sight of a pretty girl, his nose bleeds like a powerful fountain, as a result of which Chopper always has to give Sanji blood transfusions. In this regard, there is another problem: Sanji has the rarest blood type IV, so it is difficult to find it to replenish supplies. Although in a short time Sanji had already regained his previous “shape”. And now, when he sees girls, he reacts the same way, most often offering them a cup of tea.
Tony Tony Chopper
Tony Tony Chopper is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is the sixth member of the crew and the fifth to join. Chopper is the smallest and youngest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and is also a reindeer. Thanks to the devil fruit Hito-Hito, eaten as a child, he can take other forms - a humanoid creature or a small and pot-bellied deer. In addition, Chopper understands animal language. Chopper also doesn't know how to hide; instead of hiding his body and peeking around the corner, he hides his eye. Having overcome enormous difficulties and received serious wounds, he still gets this mushroom and brings it to the doctor.
The Doctor was very touched by what Chopper did for him, even though he knew that the mushroom was deadly, he still ate it. Hiruluk idolized pirates and their flag and infected Chopper with his love for them, so when he saw a mushroom and a familiar symbol in the book - a skull and crossbones - he decided that this was just what he needed. Chopper learned that the mushroom is not a panacea for all diseases, but poison, only from Dr. Kurekha.
Dr. Hiruluk had a dream - to make cherry blossoms bloom on the frozen island (when the cherry blossoms bloom, the petals of its flowers begin to fall), which, he believed, should cure all the diseases of the people of this island, just as it once cured him. He spent all his time free from treating people on this. In order to destroy all the doctors on the island, except for the twenty who were in his service, Wapol, a local usurper, decided to lure the doctor into a trap by telling people that his doctors were terminally ill.
The deceived Hiruluk reached the castle of Wapola, where they were already waiting for him and were ready to kill him. However, Hiruluk, having learned that it was a trick, said that he was glad that no one was sick and added that a person cannot be killed by diseases, bullets or even poison - a person dies when he is forgotten. After these words, he himself drank a certain potion and exploded in front of Chopper. An enraged Chopper rushed at Wapol, but was stopped by Dalton, who admitted the usurper was wrong and asked Chopper not to sacrifice himself.
Returning to Kureha, Chopper asked to take him in and teach him the art of medicine. Although she did not want to do this, she still fulfilled Hiruluk’s request and began to teach him. From then on, he lived with Doctorina until Luffy arrived.
After two years of training, Chopper grew noticeably (or rather, his deer form), and apparently discovered new forms associated with Rumble Ball. However, his character remained as naive as before, so he mistook the fake Straw Hats for his nakama.
Nico Robin is an archaeologist on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship. She is the sixth to join Luffy, the seventh member of the crew. Fruit - Hana Hana, which allows Robin to grow any body parts (ear, arm, leg, eye, nose, etc.)
A woman with a dark past—at the age of 8, the World Government assigned a huge reward for her capture. Nico Robin joined Luffy's crew after the defeat
As a child (spent mostly without a mother—her mother abandoned little Robin to study archeology), Robin was interested in history. Robin was secretly rescued by the vice admiral of the fleet, but there was a huge bounty on her head, she was betrayed everywhere, and there was no shelter for her anywhere (we're talking about an 8-year-old girl!). Then she decided that if she betrayed her first, then they wouldn’t have time to betray her, and she began to move from team to team of pirates. At the age of 24, she joined Crocodile, and after his defeat, she joined Luffy. Apparently, it was with Luffy that she found her lost happiness—she even decided to sacrifice herself to save him and his crew when they were in danger of being caught by government agents. But when Luffy and the crew, having overcome enormous difficulties, challenged the whole world for her sake, she decided to reject the past, all the betrayals, and join him. After the events of Enies Lobby, Robin has no people closer than Luffy and everyone else, she values her only friends very much and always worries about them, although outwardly she remains calm and is ready to protect them at the cost of her life.
Robin's weapon, besides her devil fruit and assassin skills, is her high intelligence. In contrast to all the other team members, she is always calm, calm and balanced and behaves according to her age. Over the past two years, she has become even more beautiful. Her hair has become longer and now she wears it combed back
Frankie
Frankie is a ship's carpenter for the Straw Hat Pirates. He is a 36-year-old cyborg from Water 7. He is the eighth member of the crew and the seventh to join Luffy.
Due to his personal modifications and life as a bounty hunter and street thug, Frankie appears to be a bruiser over six feet tall, and is the second tallest member of the team. His forearms are larger than his biceps. His hair is light blue and he has blue star tattoos on his arms. He is usually dressed in swimming trunks, which is why strangers consider and call him a pervert, and in an unbuttoned shirt with parrot colors. He wears a large gold chain around his neck and dark glasses on his head, which he pulls over his eyes only in case of serious danger. His face was burned during the explosion of Vegapunk's laboratory.
After the time skip, Frankie is shown with a short haircut, and then it is revealed that his hair is now controllable and he can change different styles at once by pressing his nose in no more than three seconds. His shoulders, torso and arms are also much larger than before, and with spiked arms that look almost robotic in appearance, but he has also shown that inside his huge arms, he still retains his actual arm size. He replaced his elbows with large blue loops, his shoulders with a large red ball, and the connector joint with "BF-37" marked on them. He had given himself these new upgrade features over the past two years, but their true potential and abilities had not yet been fully shown.
Brooke
Brook could be called a “skeletal gentleman,” although, despite his polite speech and neatness, he clearly lacks any gentlemanly manners. His sense of humor knows no bounds, from jokes about his own skeleton to the phrases “Can I see your panties?
Ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi fruit. Before his death, Brook was a musician in the Rumba Pirates, where there was a whole pirate ensemble. Full of hope, they entered the Grand Line, accidentally taking with them a baby whale, Laboon. However, their plans were not destined to happen - first, illness took away their captain, and Brook took his place, and then the rest of the team died in the battle. About 50 years have passed since then, Brook, wandering alone on his ghost ship in the Florian Triangle, encountered Gekko Moria on the floating island of Thriller Bark, where he lost his shadow and since then could not leave the mists of the triangle, as he would have disappeared under sunlight. However, when Luffy and the Straw Hats defeated Moriah and returned his shadow, Brook was no longer deterred from fulfilling his promise to Laboon. Having joined Luffy's crew, Brook plans to go around the Grand Line and, as promised, go down to Laboon on the other side of Reverse Mountain.
When watching adventure anime that do not take place in Japan, the viewer often has a question: what is the nationality of the heroes? In most cases, the authors of the work do not give a clear answer, so sometimes debates even flare up on anime forums over the nationality of a particular character. Fans of the famous anime “One Piece” (“Snatch”) are very lucky in this regard - the author of the manga recently revealed the secret of the nationalities of all the main characters, so there will no longer be any need to break spears in Internet disputes, trying to find out where Luffy comes from.
Oda told where the heroes of “Snatch” come from
“One Piece” manga author Eiichiro Oda has created a special corner for answers to frequently asked questions called “Shitsumon wo Boshu Suru” (“Question Subscription”). In it, he responds to letters sent by fans of “Big Snatch.” For a long time, no one dared to ask such a burning question about the nationality of the heroes of the work. And finally, in the 56th issue, Oda responded to a letter sent to him about the nationalities of the heroes who were part of Luffy’s crew. "If the Straw Hat Pirates lived in the real world, what would their nationality be?" asked a fan. Judging by the wording of the answer, Eiichiro Oda himself had never thought about such a topic before and did not figure out in advance which countries the heroes of his super-famous work were born in. "Well, judging by their appearance, Luffy is Brazilian, Zoro is Japanese, Nami is Swedish, Usopp is African, Sanji is French, Chopper is Canadian, Robin is Russian, Franky is American and Brook is Austrian." The omission of the author, who did not invent the nationality of his heroes in advance, is immediately noticeable. If he had originally planned to portray Sanji as French and Nami as Swedish, he clearly would not have given them Japanese names! The Japanese Zoro's name is not at all Japanese. Of all of them, only one Frankie has a name that matches his nationality.
Do One Piece fans agree with the author's opinion?
One Piece fans immediately wrote that Frankie is a real American, given his considerable weight: this is exactly what many representatives of this nationality look like. With the fact that Luffy looks like a Latino, most also agreed that being Brazilian suits him. But why the bright red-haired Nami suddenly became a Swede, and the brunette Robin with a completely non-Russian name - a Russian woman, most fans did not understand this. Many people think that Nami does not have a Scandinavian appearance, and Robin does not look like a Russian girl. Of all, only one Usopp was left without a specific country of birth: the author said that the hero is African, but where exactly in Africa was he born? Maybe in South Africa, One Piece fans speculated. Many anime fans disagreed with this point of view: some consider Usopp to be Indian, others - Italian. Many also doubted that Zoro was Japanese. A little earlier in the month, there was a lively discussion on 2channel regarding Luffy's nationality, and then fans agreed that the hero could be half Japanese, half Brazilian - Brazil has the largest Japanese diaspora compared to other countries in the world.
Do you agree with the nationalities of the characters in “Big Snatch” assigned to them by the author?
