One Piece Saga is coming to an end, and only a handful of pirates are left to compete for the ultimate prize – One Piece. The treasure hunt for One Piece is the central theme of the anime/manga, and whoever finds it becomes the Pirate King. But it’s not an easy feat to accomplish; a pirate must have a Road Poneglyph to decipher the location of Raftel and claim One Piece.
Here are the top 5 pirates competing for One Piece in One Piece Saga:
5. Trafalgar Law
Trafalgar Law, the Heart Pirate, is determined to find One Piece even after losing in a battle with Blackbeard. He carries the dream of unveiling the will of D and, for that reason, is likely to get to the root of the mystery. Additionally, he also has a Road Poneglyph in his possession, putting him close to One Piece, and he’s far from giving up.
4. Buggy
Although Buggy is the weakest of the Yonko, his influence is wide-ranging. His intelligence might prove to be his greatest asset, even without a Road Poneglyph in his possession, to find One Piece. It is revealed that his crew Cross Guild Buggy is also monitoring One Piece. So, viewers should not be surprised if Buggy wins the race and becomes the Pirate King.
3. Blackbeard
Blackbeard is a four-time Road Poneglyph winner, with two of them under his control; one is owned by Big Mom, and the last is in the possession of the man with the burn scar. He is a formidable opponent and one of the few pirates that can claim the title of Pirate King.
2. Shanks
Shanks’ role in One Piece is vital in inspiring Luffy, the protagonist, to become a pirate. After the Wano war, Shanks puts himself in the race by claiming he’s coming for One Piece. He recently acquired two Road Poneglyphs from Kid, putting him close to One Piece. However, he still requires another two, one held by the scarred man and the other in Zou.
1. Monkey D Luffy
The protagonist of the One Piece anime/manga has come a long way. Luffy formed the Straw Hat Pirates and built a strong crew that recently recognized as Yonko. After crippling Kaido, Luffy achieved Yonko status, putting him in the race to be Pirate King. Currently, Luffy owns three out of four Road Poneglyphs, with the last one with the person with the scar. Luffy is the current frontrunner to get his hands on the One Piece treasure, and this wouldn’t come as a surprise, given that he’s the main character.
In conclusion, Only five of the most potent pirates remain engaged in the hunt for One Piece in the One Piece Saga. Who will become the Pirate King? Only time will tell.
