One Piece/Characters/Major Villains: Difference between revisions

* [[Only Sane Man]]: The carnival nature of the Buggy Pirates annoys her quite a bit.

* [[Shout-Out]]: She is based off of [[wikipedia:Awilda|Awilda]] a legendary female pirate who pretended to be a man in order to become a sailor became the leader of a pirate crew and later became queen of Denmark. It is unlikely Awilda existed.

* [[Starter Villain]]: Her initial appearance is in the very first episode of the anime, and the second chapter of the manga, immediately following the story of Luffy meeting Shanks.

* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Saves Buggy and tags along with him after that.

Buggy the Clown was initially the first real pirate that Luffy encountered early on in his travels. Buggy is a rather gaudy individual who used to be on the legendary Roger Pirates crew, along with Luffy's idol Shanks, who Buggy eventually bore a grudge against for unwittingly foiling a scheme to find a legendary treasure. After Gold Roger's death, the two went their separate ways, and while Shanks went on to become one of the Four Emperors, Buggy hung around the relatively tame East Blue.

-----

* [[Arc Villain]]

-----

* [[Arc Villain]]

* [[Bad Boss]]: When his plans started to fail, he threatened to kill his crew if they didn't hurry up, and reveals later that he had always planned to kill them all once the plan was complete to keep his identity safe. He even indiscriminately cut them down during one of his attacks, and dialogue from some of his crew members indicate that this tendency was not new.

* [[The Butler Did It]]: Quite literally.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Breaks the glasses Kaya gave to him as a gift shortly before almost killing Merry. He also tells her that he hated all the time he spent with her.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Towards Kaya, whom he pretended to be a father figure to.

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Underneath the moonlight, as he tells about how it brings out the animal in him...

* [[Smug Snake]]: His plans "that could not fail" not only failed, but got him exactly what he ''didn't'' want in the end; he's a wanted pirate again.

* [[Arc Villain]]

* [[Bad Boss]]: He's not above killing members of his crew on the spot if they disagree with him. Even Gin gets this treatment when he can't bring himself to kill Sanji and suggests withdrawing.

* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: His Wootz steel armor is gilded gold.

* [[Bowdlerize]]: The infamous "poison suction cups" in the 4Kids dub.

** He does keep the standards related to not harming other fishmen, though.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Shaaaahahaha.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: He and his crew believe Fishmen to be the "lords of all creation", and that humans are completely inferior.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: An interesting case while Arlong lived out his childhood in the worse parts of Fishman Island. It's never stated that he ever went to the surface; in fact, out of all his brothers, Arlong was the one who grew up to be a short-tempered trouble maker who wrecked havoc and caused trouble for his own people, {{spoiler|especially Otohime, both before and after he joined the Sun Pirates and left the Sun Pirates. Also while his own people suffered [[Fantastic Racism|much discrimination]], and were frequently kidnapped and sold as slaves, [[Irony|most likely by one of Arlong's brothers, mind you]]. Arlong himself has never experienced this firsthand, he has only heard about it, and knows fishmen that were once slaves. Adding in with this, the one betrayal he had experienced because of humans was not racially motivated. And his sworn brother Fisher Tiger's death was due to him not accepting the blood of a human, which Fisher Tiger himself admitted was wrong, and blamed his own death on himself. Though that didn't stop Arlong from blaming humans anyway for not having fishman blood on a ship occupied by humans, even though there isn't any difference between fishmen/mermaid blood and a human's}}. Making the way how Arlong is currently his own doing.

* [[Jerkass]]: Exceptionally petty, even compared to other villains.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Though he is essentially exiled from his island, his toy company brought him more riches, adoration, and fame than his time as king. {{spoiler|He even got to become king of his own evil kingdom.}}

* [[Morality Pet]]: In his cover-story, he befriends a little dog that he turns into a robot with his powers. {{spoiler|It's still with him even after he becomes a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]], suggesting that he might have just learned something after all}}.

* [[Start My Own]]: Basically what he ends up doing. He gets forcibly removed from his World Government-recognized Drum Kingdom, so he creates the World Government-recognized ''[[Color Coded for Your Convenience|Black]]'' Drum Kingdom.

* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]}}: {{spoiler|Got one on his eye.}}

* [[Scary Black Man]]

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Theme Naming]]: He (along with his parter, Miss Doublefinger) has a "sharpness" theme, particularly his attacks are a pun on "sparking", and ironically "super-" (''supa'').

== "Mr. 0" Crocodile ==

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Yahahahaha.

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: His arrogance and callousness; if he hadn't disregarded the Straw Hats so completely and been so willing to let die/kill his own men, he probably would've killed Luffy.

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: {{spoiler|Despite being one of the most psychotic and unrepentant villains in ''[[One Piece]]'', Eneru gets away with nothing more than a few bruises from Luffy, actually achieving his original goal following his defeat. By comparison, other [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] usually had all their evil dreams and goals completely crushed, except for [[Laughably Evil]] Buggy the Clown, who only suffers many [[Butt Monkey|comedic humiliations]]}}.

** {{spoiler|Of course, had he been beaten and left on Earth, he would have still been an incredibly dangerous force to deal with. With his traveling to the Moon, he removed himself from being a future threat. So while it is a [[Karma Houdini]], it's one that is justified. Plus he didn't bother to attack Skypiea again, so hey better victory then most.}}

* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: He outwitted [[The Smart Guy|Robin]]. She didn't see it coming.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Subverted. He is one of the most powerful villains ever introduced in ''[[One Piece]]'', easily dispatching every single opponent he went up against with no effort whatsoever, and would have a bounty of 500 million Berries if he were a pirate, more than any other known pirate bounty at this writing. The only reason Luffy didn't die instantly was because he's a [[Rubber Man]], and thus immune to Eneru's powers.

* [[Where I Was Born and Razed]]: Eneru came to Skypiea after destroying his home island of Birka.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Poor Robin! Summed up by this quote:

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Always smiling regardless of expression.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Fehfehfehfeh.

* [[Gag Nose]]: Looks like one, but he naturally has a red nose.

* [[Giant Mecha]]: The Gorilla Puncher #13; the anime version has several more, such as the dodgeball cannon "Bull's Eye-kun".

** May be intentional, see [[Expy]] above.

* [[Gonk]]

* [[Not So Harmless]]: Until the Captain Duel, he was regarded as a great joke. Many a "Holy Shit!" was uttered when he promptly beat the snot out of Luffy due to the pure cheapness of his power. In fact, he landed more hits on Luffy than ''Eneru'' ever did... too bad Luffy is immune to blunt attacks.

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: What he gives Luffy, although it's largely because of his [[Time Stands Still]] powers.

* [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses]]: Gained his reputation for an instance in which he does this. When he was ''thirteen''. Just before being ''[[Out of the Inferno|bombarded with cannonfire]]''.

* [[Badass]]: [[The Stoic|More quiet]] and [[Ax Crazy|unhinged]] than the typical, but he is still this. Slaughtering 500 soldiers at ''age 13''? Check. A ventriloquist for his [[Non-Human Sidekick]]? Check. Having a [[Power Levels|douriki]] ''twice'' as high as the next strongest member of his squad? Check. Able to ''[[Finger-Poke of Doom|shoot a person to death]]'' [[Finger-Poke of Doom|with merely his index finger]]? Check. Can [[Flash Step]]? Check. Can ''[[Double Jump|quintuple jump?]]'' Check. Can manipulate your [[Razor Wind]] kick into the shapes of a bird and a spiral? Check. A [[Manipulative Bastard]] when he wants to be? Check. Fighting and nearly killing Luffy on ''physical force alone''? '''Check'''.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]:

* [[Beard of Evil]]: Goatee of Evil!

* [[Ambiguously Human]]: Most Giants seen in the series look like super-sized humans, but Oars is more of a titanic demon in looks.

** It helps that he's partly rotten to boot.

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: He gets fooled quite easily.

* [[Badass Nickname]]: Both "The Devil" and "The Continent Puller".

* [[Horned Humanoid]]: Not quite so useful when one falls down on them, though.

* [[Implacable Man]]: Bordering on [[The Juggernaut]].

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: With Luffy's shadow as his power, he's almost just as fast as he is, given his much larger frame.

* [[Not So Harmless]]: With Luffy's personality, he naturally alternates between acting goofy and laying waste to powerful opponents.

== Gecko Moria ==

* [[Nice Hat]]: As worn by a bishop.

* [[The Peeping Tom]]: Spies on Nami in the shower. One of the reasons [[Chivalrous Pervert|Sanji]] is mad at him. (Not because it's bad, but because he's always wanted to do it)

* [[Super Strength]]: Has the combined muscles of a bear and gorilla and a weight of 300 kilograms thanks to all the animal parts Hogback grafted onto his body.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: His [[Body Horror]] form. He even removes his cloak beforehand too when evoking it.

** [[Technicolor Toxin]]: Usually purple, unless he gets mad. In that case it [[Turns Red]].

** [[Walking Wasteland]]: The "Hell's Judgment" technique.

** But you have to admit how undeniably cool he looks.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: Subverted. Despite his demonic appearance and Bulgori-like hands, he only evil in the fact that he's working for the World Government, and is just trying to keep bloodthirsty criminals behind bars.

** This easily falls under [[Godzilla Threshold]]. Magellan really, ''really'' didn't want to resort to that, but considering Impel Down was being attacked by no less than three separate groups at once(two of which containing some ''serious'' heavy hitters), he was kind of out of options.

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: His appearance, beard, sharp teeth, horns, etc. are very similar to classic depictions of demons.

* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: He's determined to not let '''''anyone''''' out of Impel Down.

* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: {{spoiler|He killed prisoners for fun, claiming them to be "just trash". Then, he gets arrested, and sent to Level Six}}.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: His name translates to "Death Dragon".

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: It's implied that he took the job as Gaoler of Impel Down to torture and kill prisoners.

* {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger]]: Joined Blackbeard's crew}}.

* [[Tailor-Made Prison]]: {{spoiler|Gets placed on Level Six, after losing to Magellan}}.

** He also pulls a spectacular one just as {{spoiler|Whitebeard is going to town on the Marines after Ace's death}}. He even {{spoiler|recruited several new crew members from Impel Down. His crew descends on Whitebeard and kills him}}.

* [[Big Eater]]: He debuts in a seemingly throwaway scene in which he attempts to match Luffy pound for pound in food. [[Foreshadowing|They just happen to have opposite tastes]].

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: He's big, cheerful, idealistic, [[Affably Evil]], cares for the well-being of his men, is a [[Big Eater]] matching Luffy, and [[Blood Knight|loves a good fight]]. If anything, what makes his actions unnerving is that he doesn't seem to have an "off" switch for his friendliness, as seen when he cheerfully addresses Ace and tries to recruit him while planning to murder Luffy.

* [[Captain Color Beard]]: Just like his namesake.

** {{spoiler|[[Megaton Punch]]: The Quake Punch at a shorter distance}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Sphere of Destruction]]: He can also use the Quake Bubble now too}}.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Another one for Luffy, and also the best fit for the trope. In addition, the rest of his crew also shadow other members of Straw Hats.

** This becomes even more clear with {{spoiler|the addition of Shiliew who, being a master swordsman}}, is a pretty obvious shadow of Zoro.

* [[Mind Over Matter]]: Basically what his DF ability boils down to.

* [[Oh Crap]]: His reaction when {{spoiler|the lighting he thought would kill Luffy only enhances his Gear 3 Gigant Leg and Luffy bringing it down his way.}}

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: {{spoiler|He fancied himself Roger's rival, and couldn't possibly believe that the Marines had captured him. Since then, he's become highly jaded with the Great Pirate Era, believing that all of the pirates that came since Roger are mere treasure mongers}}.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Seeing on how he can throw ''islands'' at you...

** {{spoiler|Nope. Chapter 650 reveals that he's still alive.}}

* [[Scary Black Man]]: You wouldn't know it from the manga, but in the anime Caribou is actually black (Although his brother is pale white, for some reason) and he is hella scary with his [[Gonk|deformed face]] and bright [[Green Eyes]] and whatnot.

* [[Serial Killer]]: Both Caribou and Coribou earned a reputation for killing Marines and burying them alive.

* [[Shovel Strike]]: Coribou seems to carry one around, but actually uses it to dig more than fight.

* {{spoiler|[[Colony Drop]]}}: {{spoiler|He decided to throw the ancient ship of Noah, which is half the size of Fishman Island, ''at'' Princess Shirahoshi, after his rejection by her and defeat by Monkey D. Luffy. Doing so would easily destroy all of Fisman Island}}.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: When confronting Luffy and Shirahoshi, Decken uses two axes.

* [[Evil Cripple]]: Decken seems to have quite a hunchback.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Bahohoho.

* [[Gonk]]

* [[Gratuitous English]]: In the anime, "'''Dead or marriage !'''"

* [[If I Can't Have You]]: Decken toward Shirahoshi. When she rejects him, he decides to kill her.

* {{spoiler|[[Important Haircut]]: After being 'rejected' by Shirahoshi, he shaves his head bald... but only the part that's hidden under his hat, so his outward appearance doesn't change.}}

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]/[[Homing Projectile]]: Decken's Devil Fruit power, he can hit his target from anywhere with any possible weapon.

** [[An Axe to Grind]]: Decken uses giant Battle Axes bigger then he is to send his messages to Shirahoshi & uses two hatchets as main weapons when confronting Shirahoshi and Luffy.

** [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Huge swords are also part of Decken's usual "love letters".

** [[Annoying Arrows]]: [[Averted Trope]]. Just look at Hachi to see how they felt.

** {{spoiler|[[Colony Drop]]: His latest projectile is a ''massive'' ship that's half the size of the entire Fishman Island.}}

** Could also count as {{spoiler|[[Critical Existence Failure]]}}.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Decken has a hat rather similar to [[Michael Jackson]] in his "Smooth Criminal" persona & has one glove on, albeit not covered in Rhinestones.

* [[Sore Loser]]: The woman he's stalking politely tells him that he's not her type. {{spoiler|Cue to tossing first axes then a whole giant ship on her.}}

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Decken often interjects "I think" into his sentences & has a unique laugh of "Bahohohoho!".

* {{spoiler|[[Villain Team-Up]]: He refused one with Arlong, citing that he doesn't work under anyone. Conversely, he allied himself with Hordy Jones, stating that he prefers being able to work alongside someone and be treated as an equal. Of course, he threw that out the window the moment Shirahoshi rejected him by throwing the Noah ship at the princess and subsequently Fishman Island, knowing that it would kill his allies in the process but not caring in the slightest.}}

A great white shark Fishman, the captain of the New Fishman Pirates and a former soldier of the Neptune army, Hody Jones is an admirer of Arlong and strongly believes in his ideals. {{spoiler|He led the assault on the Ryugu Palace in order to take over the kingdom while his underlings create chaos elsewhere on the Island.}}

-----

** And then the real kicker : {{spoiler|He has no reason for doing any of his actions outside of blind racism. He just does it cause he ''wants to''.}}

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Despite his status and mighty strength, he was taken down by Zoro ''with a single sword slash while underwater'', and needed to be force-fed E.S. in order to be awakened, much less stand a chance. Then they had to keep feeding him more, because the wound was ''that bad''.

* [[Fantastic Drug]]: Jones uses Energy Steroids to boost his strength.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: His hatred of humans is even more passionate than Arlong's, although the New Fishmen Pirates do [[Slave Mooks|employ]] a few. They tried to bring Luffy in, and they had at least a few unwilling human members (though it's pretty doubtful Hody would've "hired" the Strawhats anyway, considering Luffy was the one to beat his idol). Their Jolly Roger even has a decapitated human on it. Later, his hatred is shown in greater detail when one of his crew members states that he kills any fishman with human-transfered blood in them since they're now "dirtied."

* [[Fur and Loathing]]: Jones has what looks to be a dead dog wrapped around his neck.

* [[Gonk]]: Not normally, but after his [[One-Winged Angel]], he slowly starts growing more and more grotesque as the arc goes on. In particular, during his fight with Luffy he eats steroids in between his beatdown to keep himself conscious, and his muscles grow larger and larger until he's a bulging freak that's twice the size of co-villain Vander Decken, whom he was formerly shorter than. And then, his face and jaw become enlarged and swollen until he's truly frightening in appearance.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]/[["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Usually to {{spoiler|Hachi, Neptune, and Shirahoshi.}}

** {{spoiler|And then it turns out to be a subversion. All of that wear and tear on the inside of his body has made him stronger. Of course, if these steroids work anything like real ones....}}

** {{spoiler|And now it's revealed to be a subversion of a subversion. As it turns out, the Energy Steroids are made from the National Treasure of Fishman Island. The treasure that can turn someone older. Now Hody and his crew are all old men for abusing the steroids.}}

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Seems like to work for someone named/codenamed Joker, [[The Mole|a mole]] or [[Dirty Cop|a corrupt marine officer]] in G5, who covered up the kidnappings.}}

* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: Some fans even think he looks kind of like a [[Naruto]] character.

* {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap]]: Not as glaring as Eneru, but he does seems shocked when Luffy grabs him in chapter 670.}}

* [[The Sociopath]]: Everyone is just a means to an end to Clown.

* [[Super Smoke]]: He has yet to make an appearance in a completely solid solid form, preferring so far to be at least partly gaseous thanks to his Logia-type Devil Fruit.

* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: This is his field of research expertise, next to Gas-based projects. {{spoiler|His rivalry with Vegapunk bascially lead him to engineer an 'accident' where one of these basically blew up 2/3s of the research facility so Vegapunk would publically take the fall. It sort of turned out badly for Caeser too, because the incident made him a wanted man, due to Gas-based weapons being A: illegal and B: Caesar's speciality, not Vegapunk's, so the marines saw through it}}
