The Four Emperors (''Yonko'') are the most notorious pirate captains in the [[One Piece]] world, who rule over pieces of the New World like overlords, but none of their bounties are known, and they're all independent of one another (neither friends nor foes). Amongst the four, Shanks is the nicest, while it's a toss-up between Linlin and Kaido for the meanest.
In more recent times, the once-dreaded power of the Emperors has been challenged by newer, bolder generations of pirates: {{spoiler|Whitebeard lost his life in a [[War Arc]] with the Marines, and his killer, Blackbeard, has officially replaced his former captain as an Emperor; Kaido had one of his islands attacked by Drake (a Supernova) ''because he knew Kaido would retaliate''; and Linlin lost two of her ally ships to Kidd (another Supernova), while Luffy has openly challenged Linlin for Fishman Island and Trafalgar Law (one more Supernova) is hatching a scheme to bring one of them down.}}
Line 27:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To Luffy.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: When he saved Luffy. {{spoiler|Does it again during the Whitebeard War arc, showing up in the middle of the battle to end the war then and there, rescuing both Coby and Luffy (the latter indirectly) in the process}}.
* [[Big Good]]: Very much a contender, but he's in the same boat as Rayleigh - currently inactive to the plot.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: Seems to be his MO. He always shows up out of nowhere, shakes things up, and then vanishes for yet another long period of time.
* [[Death Glare]]: Even sea monsters are afraid of an angry Shanks staring at them.
Line 84:

Kaido is the third of the Four Emperors to be mentioned. Very little is known about him, except that Gekko Moriah fought him sometime in the past, lost, and had his crew killed. In the present time, Kaido tried to make a grab for power while Whitebeard was focused on fighting at the Marines' headquarters, {{spoiler|but Shanks prevented him from doing so. With Shanks showing up at Marineford, it is unknown what exactly went down between the two}}.
{{spoiler|Lost one of his favorite islands to "Red Flag" X. Drake of the Eleven Supernovas, but there's no word on how he reacted to it}}.
-----
* [[Bigger Bad]]: He's one of the most powerful pirate captains of all time, but he hasn't made an official appearance yet.
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Kaido seems to have dozens of underlings, allies, and islands under his control.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Kaido vs. Moriah, though it's implied Moriah wasn't so bad back then.
* [[Kill'Em All]]: To the original crew of Gekko Moriah, hence why Moriah is the way he is now.
* [[Gang of Hats]]: He seems to like having cyborgs as his guards, so he might be one himself. Or he just has an island of cyborgs.
* [[Jerkass]]: Based on what he did to Moriah'S [[True Companions]], and the affect it had on Moriah himself, Kaido will most likely turn out to be one.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name can translate into "Church" or "Temple". This may or may not be subverted, as we don't know whether or not he has a preacher/knight/temple theme about him.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Even more so than the other Emperors, if only because every time he's mentioned something ''bad'' is happening.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: What exactly happened when {{spoiler|Shanks prevented Kaido from attacking Whitebeard}}?
** What happened when Kaido fought Moriah back in the day?
* [[Slasher Smile]]: He's the lower of the two silhouettes when the Emperors are first mentioned, though it's entirely possible they weren't accurate, given Oda's track record with them. From what we've heard of Kaidou, though, it's a pretty safe bet to assume he does have one anyway.
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: The next Emperor shown tends to be more antagonistic than the last. Shanks, the first shown, is a [[Nice Guy]] with a propensity for [[Tranquil Fury]], as well as enough charisma to halt a war. The next to pop up is [[A Father to His Men|Whitebeard]], who follows a [[Jerkass Facade]]. Linlin destroys islands for not satisfying her sweet tooth, and when she first shows up, she ''eats'' one of her crewmates. We have yet to see of Kaido, but looking at [[Kill'Em All|what he did]] to [[Despair Event Horizon|Moriah]] and his old crew, there's a good chance of Kaido being the worst of the bunch.
* {{spoiler|[[Straw Vulcan]]}}: {{spoiler|Some translations have him trying to stop Whitebeard because there would soon be a battle that could result in his fellow emperor's death. Whitebeard did indeed die and there is indeed much turmoil}}.
** {{spoiler|Also important to know others say he just wanted to wipe out Whitebeard when he was distracted on getting to Marineford}}.
Line 110:
{{quote|Voiced by: N/A}}
The final member of the Four Emperors, Big Mom is the only female member, noted for her sweet tooth. Her protection of islands in exchange for sweets implies a somewhat capitalist mindset.
-----
* [[A Father to His Men|A Mother to her Men]]: Her men all call her "mama". {{spoiler|She averts the hell out of the SPIRIT of this as she randomly eats her henchmen for no reason.}}
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: She's honestly like something out of a horror movie.
* [[Bad Boss]]: She {{spoiler|'''ATE''' one of her subordinates}} for no real reason.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: {{spoiler|She's infamous for decimating ''entire islands'' just for not providing enough candy for her. She considers this a perfectly reasonable reaction to someone who failed to hold up their end of a bargain.}}
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: It was implied she's not exactly the nicest person around before her proper introduction. What do we see of her in the chapter when she's actually introduced? {{spoiler|She's an utterly massive behemoth, eats her henchmen, and casually has countries torched over not getting her candy}}.
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Inverted. As long as {{spoiler|her [[Sweet Tooth]] is satisfied, she'll leave you alone. If not, you're dead, along with the rest of your island.}}
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Big Mama, a bit of a [[Mondegreen]] of her title.
* [[Gag Lips]]: Possibly. They're on her Jolly Roger, at least.
Line 181:
* {{spoiler|[[Famous Last Words]]: '''One Piece exists!"'''}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: {{spoiler|Whitebeard's final command was to order his allies to fall back, willing to take down the Marines all on his own}}.
* [[Homage]]: His moustache, which is near-identical to [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090926165945/gundam/images/3/3d/Turn_A_Gundam.jpg the one sported by] the [[Turn
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Goes to great lengths to avenge murdered crew members that would be downright insane were it not for the fact that he's, you know, '''Whitebeard'''.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: The most recent flashback shows he was a pretty handsome guy when he was young. Of course, he's not so much ugly today as his handsomeness has been replaced by pure [[Badass]].
Line 225:
** The people of the One Piece world fear him because of his earthquake powers. Just like the Japanese themselves have a deep-rooted fear of earthquakes and tsunamis, for obvious reasons.
* [[Shockwave Clap|Shockwave]] [[Megaton Punch|Punch]]: He creates shockwaves by punching the air, causing it to ''crack''.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: He can create a "Quake Bubble" around his fist or the blade of his bisento [[For Massive Damage]].
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: As with all Devil Fruit users he would sink like a stone in water, but he's not stupid enough to allow himself to be put in such a situation.
* [[That's Gotta Hurt]]: Getting a face full of his Devil Fruit powers.
Line 234:
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Averted '''hard'''. Not even the ''fans'' were expecting some of the stuff he pulled, and {{spoiler|it took ''a lot'' to kill him. No one who attempted it got away unscathed ([[Nigh Invulnerability|except]] [[Badass|Kizaru]]), and once he did finally die he [[Died Standing Up]]}}. He's the strongest man in the world, period.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: To Sengoku. Also, the commander-in-chief of the Marines says he was the best of the pirates.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: Since the beginning of the war, Whitebeard was already foot-and-a-half in the grave thanks to his illness. Reason why he took his time to join the fight: his movements were extremely slow and measured, his dodging abilities non-existent as put by Marco; it should have been impossible for Squard to stab Whitebeard, and in several instances he had to stop to catch his breath, [[Hollywood Heart Attack|his heart barely working right]]. That rampage was done by a half-blind, half-deaf, arthritic 72 year old shadow of its former self. [[World's Strongest Man]] indeed.
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Is based on an old pub owner Oda used to hang around, and Whitebeard's first line was actually something that man always said. Like Whitebeard, he too had medical problems (i.e. hooked up to medical equipment) and is now dead.
** {{spoiler|Whitebeard's own death is probably not a coincidence}}.
Line 248:
The commander of the first division, he is first seen when one of Shanks' subordinates delivers a message to Whitebeard, and then later when Shanks himself visits their ship, the Moby Dick. Marco is depicted as being a patient and mild-mannered man, often looking rather sleepy and bored. In the past, he helped Ace get acclimated to the Whitebeard Pirates when he was first brought on board.
{{spoiler|By eating a Devil Fruit he has gained the powers of a phoenix. His short confrontations with Aokiji and Kizaru indicate that he may also possess a certain amount of Haki. This was later confirmed by Akainu}}.
-----
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Other than Whitebeard himself, he's the only one to take on all three of the Admirals on separate occasions during the war, with two of them being [[Big Damn Hero]] moments for Luffy. This is partly due to his Devil Fruit, which is of a type that's even more rare than the Logias.
** There's also the fact that [[Cosmopolitan Council|the Five Elder Stars]] believe even with {{spoiler|Blackbeard stealing Whitebeard's power}} to add to his already devastating abilities, Marco is one of the only people in the world that has a chance to stopping him.
** Lets put it this way, when you make ''[[The Ace|Portgas D. Ace]]'' look weak in comparison, you're this trope.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Marco seemed to fill this position towards Ace. Being the one of the crew members to reach towards Ace and the one that explained the [[True Companions]] family dynamic the Whitebeard Pirates. He also has shades of [[Big Brother Instinct]] as when a dismayed Ace screamed at his family why where they virtually sacrificing themselves for him, Marcus, normally [[The Stoic]], ''roars'' back everyone needed to know that NOBODY messed with a member of their family, and the Marines would learn that lesson, the ''hard way''
* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Every one of his attacks so far have been kicks.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: You'd be forgiven for expecting Marco to yell out "[[Bleach|Getsuga Tensho]]!"...
Line 293:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]/[[Cool Big Sis|Cool Big Bro]]: Fills both roles exceptionally.
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: Ace's belt has the letter A on the buckle.
* [[Character Development]]: There's a lot behind that friendly face that you wouldn't expect. Just trace his backstory from him as a child to a rookie on Whitebeard's crew to how he is now.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Determinator]]: Other than continuing to fight Blackbeard, he tried to kill ''Whitebeard''. And even when most people wouldn't even go after his sons, he made at least ''a hundred attempts on his life''. Granted, he failed every time, but it sure takes balls to do that. He later became one of Whitebeard's most loyal commanders.
Line 315:
* {{spoiler|[[Men Don't Cry]]}}: {{spoiler|Ace would always try to remind the young Luffy of this trope, [[Manly Tears|but couldn't back his own tears]] when he read Sabo's last letter to Luffy and himself}}.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: [[Walking Shirtless Scene|Permanently shirtless]]. ''Permanently''.
** In the anime his fight with Blackbeard includes some pretty gratuitous shots of his toned back and chest.
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: Ate a Logia Devil Fruit, so natch. Too bad he had to face someone who could [[Brought Down to Normal|nullify]] that, then someone with [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|a superior element]].
* [[One-Man Army]]: He took out multiple Marine ships with one attack, with no effort.
Line 341:
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Takashi Nagasako]] (JP)}}
Jozu, the commander of the third division, first made his appearance when Shanks' subordinate delivered a message to Whitebeard. When Shanks later came to meet them in person, Jozu commented on his immense Haki, but is shown being unaffected himself. Despite his massive size, he is a very calm man that seems to care a lot about his crewmates and his captain.
{{spoiler|It is later revealed that Jozu ate a Devil Fruit himself. Because of that, he is able to turn his entire body into diamonds, making him very difficult to hurt}}.
-----
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: While he ''does'' have Devil Fruit powers, they should not affect his physical strength. Despite this, he {{spoiler|is shown lifting and tossing a huge ass iceberg many hundreds of times his size(estimated to weigh around a million tons)}}.
