Monkey D. Luffy is the series' main protagonist, a young pirate who wishes to succeed Gold Roger, the deceased King of the Pirates, by finding his treasure, the "One Piece". Throughout the series, Luffy gathers himself a diverse crew: the three-sword-wielding combatant Roronoa Zoro (sometimes referred to as Roronoa Zolo in the English manga); the thief and navigator Nami; the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp; the cook and modified human Sanji; the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper; the archaeologist Nico Robin; the cyborg shipwright Franky; the living skeleton musician Brook; and the Fish-Man helmsman Jimbei. Together they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams, encountering other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the corrupt World Government, and various other friends and foes.
Pirates
Straw Hats

The protagonists of the One Piece series are all the members of the Straw Hat Crew (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi),[d] a crew of ten pirates captained by Monkey D. Luffy. The crew's number increases throughout the series, as Luffy recruits new members. Once Usopp joins the Straw Hat Crew, they gain their own ship, the Going Merry, which is later destroyed and replaced by a larger and more powerful vessel, the Thousand Sunny created by their shipwright Franky.
Two years later, the Straw Hats gain a new fleet, called the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, consisting of 5,640 pirates from seven different crews; Luffy objects to the idea of being a fleet commander and organizes his new army in a way that they may act independently, but when one crew is in trouble, the others must do what they can to help them. By the end of the Wano Country Arc, the Straw Hat Crew are recognized as an Emperor-led crew with Luffy being recognized as the leader of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet[ch. 903] and the other nine members as its Senior Officers[ch. 1058] after the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom.
World Government
Revolutionary Army
The Revolutionary Army (革命軍, Kakumeigun) is a globally operating military force of rebels, openly aiming to overthrow the World Government. To that end, they incite revolutions in countries around the world. The organization is led by the world's most wanted man, Monkey D. Dragon, who is known to the public only as Dragon.[ch. 432] Also previously unknown to the public are his family ties; he is the son of Garp and father of Luffy.[ch. 432] Next in command after Dragon is Sabo, Luffy's sworn brother.
Before the events in Dressrosa, they were based on Baltigo, but after the Blackbeard Pirates attacked the island because of the presence of one of their Ten Titanic Captains, they moved to Kamabakka Kingdom.
Monkey D. Dragon
Monkey D. Dragon (モンキー・D・ドラゴン, Monkī Dī Doragon), commonly known simply as "Dragon the Revolutionary", is the father of Monkey D. Luffy and the son of the naval hero Monkey D. Garp. He was previously in the Marines like his father but deserted it after seeing corruption and formed the Freedom Fighters to overthrow corrupt monarchs before becoming the infamous leader and founder of the Revolutionary Army who has been attempting to overthrow the World Government. Not much is known about his activities, background, history, or power. He is the World Government's greatest enemy, and is the most dangerous and most wanted man in the world. Dragon's family ties were revealed to the world, following the end of the Battle of Marineford. Despite his non-presence, Dragon cherishes his son, keeping a distance to save him from persecution with Garp, though he saved Luffy from execution at Loguetown and deescalated the situation.[ch. 558][ch. 794]
Dragon is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata in the original Japanese version, with Kazuhiko Inoue voicing his younger self. In the 4Kids English adaptation, he was voiced by Dan Green, and in the Funimation English version of the series, he is voiced by Bryan Massey. In the live-action series, Dragon is portrayed by Rigo Sanchez.[1]
Sabo
Sabo (サボ) is the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army and sworn brother to Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace.[ch. 585, 744] Introduced as a noble from the Goa Kingdom years before the series' present, Sabo leaves his home and family to live in the Gray Terminal. After he and Ace befriend Luffy, the three of them exchange cups of sake and become "brothers" (similar to the initiation ritual in yakuza organizations). Sabo's ship is destroyed by a Celestial Dragon. Though he is thought to have been killed in the attack, Sabo survived and was rescued by Monkey D. Dragon, though he suffers from amnesia. Under Dragon, he joins the Revolutionary Army and ascends the ranks. After hearing of Ace's death, Sabo's grief causes his memory to return. Although remaining loyal to the Revolutionary Army, Sabo becomes determined to obtain Ace's Devil Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit, to inherit Ace's will. He later finds it as the prize of a tournament on Dressrosa, where he reunites with Luffy and takes his place by using Luffy's alias "Lucy".[ch. 744] After winning the tournament, Sabo eats the Flame-Flame Fruit and battles Admiral Fujitora and Jesus Burgess in an effort to protect Luffy. He was later framed for the murder of Nefertari Cobra after witnessing the existence of Imu.
He is voiced by Tōru Furuya as an adult and as a child by Junko Takeuchi, however following Tōru's extramarital affair, he was voiced by Miyu Irino from episode 1116 onwards.[2] In the Funimation English adaptation, his adult voice is supplied by Vic Mignogna in the dub of One Piece Film: Gold and Episode of Sabo and by Johnny Yong Bosch in all other appearances, while his child voice is supplied by Morgan Garrett.

Ivankov can inject hormones into a person's body by making his finger nails into syringes, creating various effects like increased healing abilities, increased vigor, or changing the person's gender thanks to the powers of the Horm-Horm Fruit.[ch. 537–539] Most of the Newkama working under him are former Impel Down prisoners. Ivankov was enslaved in the past, becoming good friends with Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny during the God Valley incident.

Reception
Allen Divers of Anime News Network comments that the male character designs of One Piece are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". He also notes that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development".[30] Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of "charm".[31] His colleague Carl Kimlinger describes the visual style of One Piece as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way". He also notes that "Funimation's English dub is light-years better than the 4Kids debacle", "unusually accurate, professional, and largely enjoyable, which is far, far more than can be said of the previous dub". He laments that Funimation's version of "Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma" and that "the original's fine dance on the edge of mawkish sentimentality is disrupted often enough by less-than-stellar acting". He also states that "Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy is more a generic spunky kid than a personality in his own right, really coming to life only during the action scenes during which she does a fine job of being darned cool."[32]
Dustin Somner of Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".[33] Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime, but also comments that "Some of the voices [of the 4Kids dub] were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech."[34] Brigitte Schönhense of Splashcomics comments that the "brilliant" (German: genial) flashbacks into the characters' pasts make them so "likeable and lovable" (German: "sympathisch und liebenswert") and that they are the manga's real strength.[35][36] Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine comments that Oda's characters are "whacky" and that his "bizarre" character designs create "wonderful characterizations and personalities". He notes the "well illustrated" facial expressions and says that "it's the whacky characterizations and designs that makes One Piece its own".[37] His colleague Bryce Coulter comments that "One Piece's bizarre character designs will keep your attention as they can be very random and often memorable. Not the prettiest, but it will definitely capture your attention."[38]
