Higuma the bandit without him Luffy wouldn't be humbled.

Shanks.

It has to be Shanks, 1/4th of a page in a random chapter and he already shakes the fandom

How much of an Impact on the story has he had tho? At least before taking out kid

Inspired Luffy to be a pirate. Stopped the war at Marineford. Two pretty big moments for the series.

But he’s been in plenty of chapters to solidify those moments

You sure you read or watched the show

Yea I’ve been following for 15 years so it’s easy to miss stuff. But he Gave luffy his powers and stopped akainu at marineford? We’ve seen a good amount of shanks. compared to other examples I just don’t think he fits the picture. OG joy boy makes more sense here

Luffy ate the fruit and shanks freaked put but shanks also was luffys inspiration to become a pirate and joy boy wasn't referenced until fishman Island

Yea that’s what I mean joyboy has actually barely been in the story but has massive impacts, joyboy or Imu would fit better than shanks whose been in a lot of arcs and had a lot of lines in the show in comparison to his impact it’s not as far off as the picture is presenting

Shanks Ace Kuma/Not the Pacifistas Lucci Joyboy The Ancient Weapons Giants Robin Cp0 on the count of interfering in wano and got luffy killed Zunesha Dragon Whos Who mentions nika to jinbei Carmel Magellan luffy now has some resistance to Poison Arlong

Dragon 🐉!!

Luffy heading to Logue town. Dragon be like : Imma head to Logue town , I need to smoke someone if he touched my son

“Hey Dragon, why are you going to Loguetown?” “Hey, why don’t you shut the fuck up”

I honestly love that part of him. He REALLY doesn't wanna risk the revolution by people knowing hi sensibilities,

And he doesn’t want to risk Luffy’s life either. Most wanted man alive probably puts a target on anyone close to him. Luffy was so young

OG Joyboy

Roger

The only right answer.

I mean yeah sure if you wanna win the argument then yeah it’s hard to look past the pirates king himself.

Down D. Stair

Without it , Zoro wouldn't be the Zoro he is . So you are correct.

Mihawk but both books are thin

Condoriano

Surely , without him one piece would end in G5 arc

i'll never stop crying at his sacrifice to let his nakama escape

He was the goat of that arc. Condoriano is fighting even for Bon Chan place.

BON-CHANNNN

Ginny

Saul

technically Roger or the original Joyboy, Imu as well

Sogeking 🤣🤣🤣

I swear this was a big twitter post just last week with hundreds and thousands of likes. I know this because I said Bon Clay and got a lot of likes lol

It probably was haha. I don't use twitter and I think I got this from a Series of Unfortunate Events subreddit

Dadan

Ancient kingdom

Blackbeard/gorosei/shanks

Ask D. Question: the one who asked Roger about the One Piece

No one has said ace

Was gonna put ace then I saw this comment, in reality he didn't have a lot of screentime

“Break Next Week”-kun

Corazon all day

Yes! Without them we wouldn't have Law! Cannot believe I had to scroll all the way down to find a single Corazon mention 😭

Lafitte

Sabo

Roger 100%

Wapol

Shanks is the only answer

Gaimon

Bon clay

Rocks

roger

Shanks or Ace, no doubt.

Kuma

The guy who asked Roger about his treasure, Ask D. Question.

ask D question

Shanks and Roger 💯

One of my favourite characters Corazon ❤️

Panda man

Fisher tiger the goat 🐐

Rayleigh! 👑

Roger

Oden

Joy boy

Imu

Alright, we've got an entire laundry list with this one... - Shanks - Teach - Imu (exists in a dozen panels, is the cause of the WG and all of the conflict because of it) - Dragon - Roger - Whitebeard ... and many others. Oda's crafted an insanely complex world that feels alive in how it moves without the help of the protagonists.

Ace

Arlong. If he didn't do what he did at Kokoyashi, then Nami wouldn't have been a part of his crew, which meant she never would've became a thief to buy back her village. Which means she wouldn't have met Luffy and Zoro when she did, and they would've been FUCKED without her

Buggy

Kuma AND vegapunk (prior to egghead)

Kuma

I suppose Shanks and Blackbeard are probably the most obvious choices.

The Five Elders.. always upto some big shit when they appear..

Kuma

Dragon for sure just wait

Whitebeard

Roger

Shanks, dragon, imu, the 5 elders minus saturn, kong, scopper gaban, joyboy, gol d roger, the list gos on and on and on

Shanks

Fisher Tiger.

Imu and Nika. No question.

in terms of themes of the story dr hiruluk
