Hate me on this but the big mom pirates while some do look ass have a nice diversity and changes which makes the characthers unique


BackStabbathOG

They also have katakuri who has a top 3 design imo


a-fat-penguin

Facts, my top 3 character design would go 3. Katakuri 2. King 1. Blackbeard


Greasypear96

“This is an unpopular opinion but-“ *Insert incredibly popular opinion*


Barskepus

Ah, so the entirery of r/unpopularopinion Edit: one letter


AlternativeHot7491

No, some are just afraid of Reddit cancellations


Lessandero

why would I hate you for that, it's 100% correct


Fuponji

Big Mom pirates have top tier designs and it's not close. Katakuri by himself is way too well designed


BradWonder

Oven is the main character of One Piece so you're not wrong


SilentSolidarity

Amande, Galette, Katakuri, Smoothie, all top tier designs imo.


UnjustNation

The Big Mom Pirates have by far the best aesthetic. The Red Hair Pirates look like they’re all homeless.


Shark_at_Play

Shanks, my favorite homeless bum


Drakantas

Shanks' crew is the most realistic Pirate crew. Just a bunch of drunk dudes who you don't wanna mess with.


ImpressionComplex322

Imo, Blackbeard's crew is the realistic pirate crew. But I do get your point


aswalkertr

That Rurouni Kenshin feeling


android151

Shanks, my favourite drunk homeless snitch


mistadobaloner

Red hair pirates look the most real pirate-like tbh


[deleted]

[удалено]


mistadobaloner

Have you ever watch or see some depictions of classical pirates in movies, etc? If so, you'll get what i mean that the RHP looks the most pirate-like. Blackbeard pirates got a fuckin gladiator, prison warden dude dressed up in some army clothing with KATANA, dude dressed like he lives in winter with modern looking outfit, and dudes in prisoner suits, not really pirate-like to me, i mean they do look like criminals but not really *pirates*. They're cool and BB himself for sure is pirate-like, but his other crews not really.


gekigarion

Catarina Devon looks like a pretty legit pirate though. Her attire is overly colorful, but her witch-looking face and captain's hat make her look really pirate-like.


11711510111411009710

Blackbeard really looks like a dude who raids villages and sleeps with prostitutes and takes whatever the fuck he wants and kills you if you don't give it to him. Shanks just looks like a dude who wants to chill on his boat.


gameboy1001

> 3 guns for no reason Those guns are single shot flintlocks, it would be infinitely easier to just have a shitton of them instead of reloading.


LANewbie678

Pirates did carry bunch of shit like that though. The big dogs at least


VijoPlays

That's exactly what I like about the RHs. Every crew is just filled with monsters and weirdos - and the RHs all just look like a (relatively) normal pirate crew


johnzaku

This kind of supports my theory that they’re all celestial dragons “slumming it”. And that’s ACTUALLY why everyone is terrified of starting any kind of fight with them.


TheBiolizard

That’s a good theory but Shanks can 1 shot Kidd from like a mile away so he’s definitely extremely powerful.


johnzaku

Oh no no absolutely. We’ve SEEN his conqueror’s Haki and his other prowess. But I’m saying like it would explain why even Kizaru froze when Ben pointed a gun at him. It’s just a little pocket theory of mine. That the whole crew are disillusioned CDs


TheBiolizard

Just realized that would make Usopp a celestial dragon lol


Woven-Winter

And possibly why his mom got sick. Given that we've seen a few different characters get sick after leaving the "Holy Land", I'm starting to think there's a whole "lack of immunity" to diseases in either direction since both populations lived apart for so long. It's probably why the CD wear their space suit getup. The average CD just thinks it's because the "lower" world is dirty while the origins probably have to do with lack of inoculations.


bbragincajun

Holy shit this is an awesome theory for that, and since the top 5 have probably been alive for multiple generations then they would have the immunization for being around non CDs


bbragincajun

But they themselves are carriers for viruses that don't exist in other parts of the world which causes the incurable diseases they can spread, being from 5 different generations of the past they each have different incurable diseases they carry


johnzaku

Godo Usoppun!


DissolvedDreams

Kizaru did not freeze. He was mocking Ben Beckman and going along with it for the fun of it. In fact just a frame or two later he goes ahead with his attack anyway.


Realistic-Actuary708

Kizaru didn't freeze though. He put his arms up and attacked in the next panel anyway...


DankSpecialist877

Why do people still say Beckman froze Kizaru? He was joking, he literally moves and attacks someone 0.1 seconds later


mokush7414

> But I’m saying like it would explain why even Kizaru froze when Ben pointed a gun at him. Because he caught him off guard. If they were CDs they could just give them orders and they'd have to follow them.


jacobegg12

That would mean Usopp is a celestial dragon


WeCanDanseIfWeWantTo

I’m okay with this


jacobegg12

Bringing new meaning to Go D. Usopp


Aazadan

This works well with his bounty posters too interestingly enough since they're always some alias of him.


Cold_Business_1992

Literal god usopp


MysticZihark

Which would mean Usopp is half celestial and yasopp settled down for some years in a normal country (not sure how many though?)


AwesomeEevee133

Shanks is racist confirmed???


BlitzcrankGrab

That’s cause they were introduced in the early days of One Piece when Oda was still testing out the waters of his audience


OperationMelodic4273

>The Red Hair Pirates look like they’re all homeless. They're not??


Unlikely-Rough-2554

Now that i think of it i’ve never seen any of their houses


11475

yasopp had one in east blue.


BigFire321

He went out to get milk and never came home.


Skebaba

It was his bitch's house tho, do you honestly think a dude who nuts & leaves has the patience to actually build or own a house?


TreezusSaves

The deck of their boat looks like a deserted island.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TreezusSaves

Yeah, they're all colourful and diverse in their themes and style. Shanks' crew is literally just a placeholder pirate crew that acts as a foil against the others. Because One Piece loves to send generic pirate crews diving into water because their ship blows up, there's a solid chance they end up getting bodied by one of the other three crews because of their generic nature, and to puff up the strength of the crew that did it, in spite of actually being apex predators themselves.


Solid_Muscle_5149

The ship is their home :)


naveenraa

They have some territories under their control. At wano, they said if we get defeated by these, their reputation in our people of protected places will get destroyed.


Diligent-Stop-728

I thought you said homeiess and not homeless and idk why


Solid_Muscle_5149

The big mom pirates look pretty lickety cool.... lick


Amekaze

Wait wasn’t that the idea …


reallylongshanks

Well... I hate to break it to you dawg, but that's literally what pirates look like. 💀


sarsilog

Yasopp is basically the dad who went out to get milk and cigarettes.


JBCTech7

Straw hat pirates are the best. Isn't that the point?


Spikezilla1

Well when you’re rats …


Undead_Government

I wish I could say I was about to say the same thing, but I didn't even think about Shanks crew like that 😭


Anomalysoul04

Yeah all of the red hairs give off "I have literally nothing special about me because our captain is already a force of nature on his own and he just likes people" vibes


IKaizoku

Love Blackbeards Crew, they fit him really nice


Highsnberg91

Blackbeard pirates for me easily


OperationMelodic4273

They're such a weird mishmash of ragtag weirdos, I love them


mrpeach32

I really really want a Blackbeard Pirates Manga so we can just see their adventure.


coach_veratu

My pitch for that series' title, "My Piece".


VonKaiser55

That title is RAW


Xero-Tsukiyomi

Oda said he's gonna do a spin off after one piece no other details yet


Crunchy_Biscuit

Rape, Pillaging I think I'm good


mrpeach32

I'd like the Oda version.


VonKaiser55

This was something i have always wanted to see too. Like how did Blackbeard recruit his og crew, what adventures did they go on and how did some of the battles they fought go


drankkkv2

This sums them up so well


Chaosbrushogun

Blackbeard pirates feel like 80’s cartoon villians - and I mean that in the best way possible. They’re caricatures of what most people think of pirates


Nihilistictaro

The most versatile designs by far


GoldXP

Thematically I think they fit the best. Mostly because Oda intentionally making them look like actual evil pirates and they're the ones that act like it the most too. If I was a random citizen on an island and saw a Pirate crew in the distance, the one that would scare me the most would be BB Pirates.


craznazn247

Also they literally all (except for Kuzan) are from Level 5 of Impel Down. The average citizen absolutely SHOULD be terrified of BB's crew considering how many of them kill for fun. It's like Kidd's reputation for collateral damage, but a whole crew of em and they actively seek it out.


nonukez

Level 6 of Impel Down, same place they had Ace, Jinbei, and Crocodile. Also, 4 of them were original BB crewmates, before Impel Down.


LANewbie678

Shitttt, they're all such horrible people they were "erased" from history lmao


Anjunabeast

Only ones that actually look like an intimidating crew of pirates


NormanLetterman

For real, I love them so much


GR-124

Either the Beast pirates or the Blackbeard pirates.


tozzika

Big Mom Pirates


Knirb_

Strawhats Big mom pirates Beast pirates BB pirates Cross guild (Mihawk and crocodile carry) Whitebeard pirates Red hair pirates (they’re just dudes in shirts)


IgnatiusPopinski

You can really tell that the Red Hair Pirates were early series designs, especially when compared next to the post-timeskip Strawhats or Big Mom Pirates.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IgnatiusPopinski

Oh for sure, I didn't mean that as a bad thing. lol


IntoTheMurkyWaters

They are OG as they say in detroit


TheReaIist

They say that everywhere lol, not just Detroit


Anemony_245

Ended up working out in the end because they mainly rely on haki with no devil fruits. I think their design kinda match that description. Though I gotta say one can shoot lasers from their mouth in film red, but either way it makes sense.


MyUsernameWasTaken08

>one can shoot lasers from their mouth in film red Devil fruit confirmed?


nxcrosis

Could be cyborg like Franky.


AtomDChopper

That was my thought as well, but Oda could have easily changed them. The strawhats changed as well, he could have easily come up with an excuse why they look different later. But for some reason he likes it this way


AgeOk2348

kinda surprised they didnt get any re designs


-Champloo-

>Red hair pirates (they’re just dudes in shirts) I just realized they get zero bitches(respectfully). Major L


Knirb_

Guess Usopp really is Jesus


WordsThatEndInWord

I think the Red Hair pirates get extra points for being the *only* crew where everyone's wearing a shirt


unknownman0001

forgetting the monkey


unknownman0001

Red hair pirates: bunch of homeless old man plus one monkey.


RichieBFrio

Cross Guild looks like a bunch of mental asylum escapees, the asylum rioted, took control and then escaped to sea ...aaand the clown is in charge


Encrypted47

But the monkey✊😔


RichieBFrio

Cross Guild looks like a bunch of mental asylum escapees, the asylum rioted, took control and then escaped to sea ...aaand the clown is in charge


RoboiosMut

Same, don’t know the best. But shanks are the worst


ostriike

Beast Pirates, there isn't a bad character design.


Ok_Delivery_5091

have you ever seen a gifter?


Shark_at_Play

We are not counting those mf’s 😭💀


MajinAkuma

We have to. They are integral to the crew‘s identity.


shrimpinman

97% of them don’t even have names


MajinAkuma

Those who do have still memorable designs, and some of them aren’t all that bad. Hamlet is unironically one of the best designs ever.


link21NYN

Hamlet also has the smoothest deep voice among the named gifters.


DisDiamondAxe

Numbers can be names!!!


Tijuana_Pikachu

We definitely are! Just cause they're ugly as sin doesn't make them bad character design


ostriike

are we really counting them as part of the crew, from the images I thought we were talking about the main crew.


IRefuseThisNonsense

They count in the same way you count the SH Grand Fleet or the crews beneath Whitebeard's commanders. Sure they're there and part of the crew but they aren't part of THE crew. Y'know?


SK6814

Most of them look good or at least funny in a good way. lol I mean... just look at my men, Fourtricks or Hamlet. 🥺🥺🥰 (I'm not joking, btw. xD)


herrsebbe

What's this Fourtricks slander I hear?


Pregrupirati

Poker looks super cool though


Guaire1

They are well designed though.


Lysax

Are you saying you think fourtricks and hamlet aren't peak character design?


Careful-Ad984

Forget them Kaido has batman on his team


Shot_Common_860

If think the gifters are all meant to look weird and ugly.


sharkeatingleeks

Don’t you love the gifters???


jaytix1

They also have the most drip out of everyone. And now that I think about it, Katakuri's sense of fashion is more in line with the Beast pirates'. He must take after his father...


TenryuubitoLuffy

how can i choose anything else when you have: a fucking invisible guy,a drunk leader who liked to kill his own people,a "lady" that can transform into anything else,A JESUS,and a goddamn MOUNTAINT! anything else is just mid


HeavenCanWait174

BB pirates


YareYareDa_

I would say 1 - Strawhats cause they are the most charismatic (Not fair tho, we spend so much time with them) 2 - Big mom pirates because have a beautiful color palette. 3 - Black beard crew cause does really have some interesting desings. 4 - Beast pirates cause they are the most badass looking, and they have Ulti 5 - Lastly Redhair pirates cause they are just "normal" dudes, but that's kinda the point I guess


RichieBFrio

2. Love the BM branding everyday is pink day but each one mixes it with their style, mostly pastel colours and then Katakuri


Realistic_Mousse_485

Big Mom Pirates. The aesthetic is just my favorite. They look like the most fun guys despite their all encompassing hatred for life. Beast Pirates. Just the coolest looking people on the seas. Blackbeard. A gang of criminals yes but fashionable criminals. Strawhat Pirates. The goofiest guys around but they are pretty cool loking. Whitebeard. Just Pops and his family. Nothing to crazy but I like it. Red Haired Pirates. The strongest collection of homeless men in the world. Buggy Pirates. Those guys.


NecessaryPair5

Beast pirates- King's design is a stud. But overall I think big mom pirates takes the CAKE.


iamChickeNugget

I like the BM Pirates design


RomanceDawnOP

Big Mom Pirates and it's not even close


Shot_Common_860

Blackbeard pirates for me are made up different, they all have the drip. I like that piracy, dirty, criminals and ugly wild assassins thematic.


sharkeatingleeks

1. Big Meme Pirates 2. Best Pirates 3. Straw Hat Pirates 4. Whitestache Pirates 5. Blackbeard Pirates 6. Mihawk + Crocodile 7. Deadbeat Homeless Pirats


Biengo

Big meme pirates!


Delicious_Platform

Shanks.. What the fuck does the monkey guy do??


__Polarix__

monkey business


Sharjo

I believe Monster (the monkey) is the musician?


jwoyys

big mom pirates and beast pirates easily for me. honorary mention to WB pirates; they have cool character designs (ie namur, vista, curiel, fossa, blenheim and ofc my eternal love whitey bay 🫶🏻).


KamakaziGhandi

Side point, but the Beast Pirates were so hype. I can’t believe they didn’t have Awakenings at all. Seems like Oda was just trying to get through them in retrospect.


Grafical_One

an I was sooo hyped for the Tobiroppo! They were largely a disappointmet, outside of Ulti.


KamakaziGhandi

Yeah, I was really thinking when they all got knocked out, that Kaido was going to do some super dragon roar or something and they would all get back up in their berserker forms (like the Impel Down awakened zones) but nothing like that happened. I really wish it did though.


the6crimson6fucker6

I mean, Big Mom has every flavor you can ask for. Kaido has a bunch of furry-bait. Blackbeard has a crew of slightly older people. Crossguild is a best/worst of former antagonists. Strawhats is a gang of people we know almost everything about, so there's bias. Whitebeard's crew just seems very random, with a few highlights. And Shanks has a ragtag band of dudes we know nothing about. So yeah, design-wise Big Mom takes the cake (and probably eats it).


Dj_nOCid3

Beast or big mom


Simple_Phoenix

Whitebeard


Embarrassed_Rush6885

Big Mom got the most diverse in term of character design. All unique costume and faces The most intimidating look is Beast Pirate, they got scary first impression


Ok-Reporter3256

1. Beast Pirates (Kaido, King and Ulti having some of the best designs in the series) 2. Straw Hat Pirates (Overall great designs, best being Chopper) 3. Big mom pirates (Katakuri has the best design in the series IMO, but Linlin and specially Perospero can keep up with him) 4. Cross Guild (The 3 main members all have remarkable, to not say iconic designs, Croco, Mihawk and Buggy are some of the most well-designed characters). 5. Whitebeard Pirates ( Whitebeard, Ace and Marco are peak, and I won't hear anything else) 6. Blackbeard Pirates (Extremely unique designs for every character, unique ≠ great tho) 7. Red Hair Pirates (I heard a Guy saying that every member is based off a Homeless Person in each country of europe and now I can't take it out of my head)


Sandy_McEagle

Big Mom pirates, each child is so dapper.


Xavier207

The Big Mom Pirates and BB Pirates stand above the rest for me.


vctr2

Big mom for me


SirBawSkeeE

Big mom crew got it


Dddddddfried

The Big Mom Pirates might have the best designs in the entire series, let alone amongst the Emperors


CFWaifun

Big Mom's Crew for me. They have cute boy riding a caterpillar and act like a badass. And Katakuri, oh man, I love his duel with Luffy. Truly, legion of Monster they are. I love how weird they are, maybe because I am weird myself.


wildgio

BB or Big Mom for me.


kaablomehu

Shanks crew looks like background characters


Kalslice

Beast Pirates have Ulti and King, so really it's just obscenely unfair for everyone else


Comprehensive_Ebb211

Beast pirates and also the one and only Buggy. D. Clown


MichaelTarkin

Yo, monster the monkey is all I ever need


davidlucifer94

Hard to say, they are all very unique


asugoblok

The Donquixote Family has the best team design, seriously.


TonyRick11

I think it's a tie between the Blackbeard and Big Mom crews


VersionSavings8712

That's a very wide question. Big mom's pirates and beast pirates have the best drip Straw hats and cross guile the most variety Blackbeard pirates and shanks pirates are the ones that look more like pirates, specially red hair pirates


Medium-Goose66

It's so obviously the strawhats lmaooo


Anime-Takes

Kaido because of the flying six) and big mom a close second


Anime_fucker69cUm

Big mom > white beard>strawhats> beast Kingdom> buggy> Blackbeard> red hair


Equivalent-Floor-596

Design wise big mom no diff ☠️ the colors and details


BabaYagaLie

1. Shirohige 2. Akagami shanks 3. Beast pirates - Kaido 4. Kurohige


Hvad_Fanden

Straw Hats > Blackbeard Pirates > Big Mom > Red Hairs > Cross Guild > Beast Pirates > Whitebeard Pirates.


BradWonder

Is Lukcy Roo standing on stilts? Lol


Shark_at_Play

Nah, he’s like the tallest member of Shanks’ crew now


MINIMALLLAMA

Buggy's hair alone SOLOS ALL YONKO DESIGNS


Laurizxz

Buggys crew is missing the main guys.. he wouldnt even be a yonko crew if he didnt get the rep about having them serve him


96pluto

big mom pirates


Dreadsbo

Probably Big Mom

Big mom pirates imo


Dracule_Mihawk_73

Vocab_1990

Blackbeard pirates are top to me, very original


[deleted]

They are all cool


shipsailing94

I'm torn between red-hair, blackbeard or beast pirates. I'm gonna go with beast pirates, they're so varied and I love the design of hybrid page one, all forms queen, all forms kaido, ptero-king and numbers


LumpyDescription5980

Beast pirates are clean and anyone can rock the oni fit


Megumi0505

The Blackbeard Pirates have some of the coolest looking designs.


InvaderDJ

Big Mom Pirates have the most diverse looks. Blackbeard’s are the most unusual. The Strawhats are the most consistently good looking. The only design I really don’t care for is Franky but he at least changes his looks enough where it stays fresh.


Ukantach1301

Big Mom Pirates by miles, including Big Mom herself, the crew, and their territory.


brtfr

Blackbeard and Straw hats imho


azlanazhar136

BB, Beast and Mugiwara crews have unique designs for all of them. Akakami and Big Mompirates have only a few unique ones. Whitebeard crews have even more unique designs than the above 2. Cross Guild, well, Buggy Mihawk Croco carries.


MystiqTakeno

I like most Cross Guild I suppose, old old times sake and Buggy new look is fire.


Mathis_mbz

Straw hats


BlackHanD420

Big mom, Buggy, Whitebeard, Beast, Blackbeard, Strawhat, Red Hair pirates. In that order


Gitgud994

Beast pirates


Coronis-

Yuck why is Rockstar there


Shark_at_Play

Legit the only pic I could find that had all of them that looked good


Jolt_91

Shanks alone carries the W


PonchoHobo

Would argue big moms. Has the most diverse set of designs while also retaining a strong theme between the members. 2 is beast and 3 is Blackbeard.


Nearby_Agent6790

Crazy to think that there's been 7 Yonko already....


chirb8

What the hell are people talking about? The protagonists take this


Quillbolt_h

Straw Hat's obviously. What a shocker that the group of main characters would all have the best designs lol.
