10 Most Hated Characters in One Piece

In the thrilling world of “One Piece,” where pirates chase dreams and adventures await at every turn, certain characters have risen to infamy not for their heroic deeds, but for the profound disdain they elicit from fans. Welcome to our exploration of the “10 Most Hated Characters in One Piece.” These individuals, whether through ruthless cruelty, insufferable arrogance, or sheer annoyance, have etched their names into the annals of the series’ history as the ones fans just can’t stand. From the volcanic wrath of Admiral Akainu to the despicable antics of Foxy the Silver Fox, we’ll delve into what makes these characters so despised while navigating the treacherous waters of the Grand Line. Join us as we unfurl the Jolly Roger and set sail on this voyage into the darker corners of the One Piece world.

Sakazuki (Akainu)

At the top of our list is none other than Sakazuki, better known as Admiral Akainu, the personification of “Absolute Justice.” His unwavering dedication to the Marine’s doctrine often crosses into fanaticism. Akainu’s pursuit of justice is so ruthless it led to the heart-wrenching demise of Portgas D. Ace, sparking outrage and sorrow within the One Piece community. His inflexibility and cold-heartedness, combined with his volcanic powers that have scorched friends and foes alike, make him one of the most hated characters in the series.

Spandam

As the sniveling and cowardly former head of CP9, Spandam is a character fans despise for his abuse of power and the sheer pleasure he takes in others’ suffering. His role in the Enies Lobby arc, orchestrating the capture and intended execution of Nico Robin, solidified his status as a villain without redeeming qualities. His incompetence, coupled with an inflated sense of self-importance, makes him an irritant that fans have a hard time stomaching.

Charlos (Saint Charloss)

A Celestial Dragon to the core, Saint Charloss embodies the worst traits of the World Nobles: arrogance, entitlement, and a complete disregard for human life. His brutal treatment of slaves and his capricious nature — going as far as to shoot someone just for crossing his path — make him not just hated, but a symbol of the corruption and rot at the heart of the One Piece world’s ruling class.

Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach)

The antithesis to our main hero, Blackbeard’s philosophy is the dark mirror to Luffy’s bright optimism. A man of cunning and ruthlessness, Blackbeard’s betrayal of the Whitebeard Pirates and his role in the chain of events leading up to the Marineford War paint him as a power-hungry opportunist, willing to step on anyone to achieve his goals. His actions, especially in the context of Ace’s capture and death, make him a prime target for fan hatred.

Wapol

The petulant ex-monarch of Drum Island, Wapol’s childish selfishness and cruelty were the bane of his people. His disregard for the wellbeing of his subjects and his abuse of power are classic hallmarks of a detestable tyrant. Even after his defeat at the hands of Luffy, Wapol’s pettiness and lack of redeeming qualities leave a lasting distaste.

Arlong

The tyrannical leader of the Arlong Pirates, Arlong’s disdain for humans sets him apart as one of the cruelest villains in the East Blue saga. His oppressive rule over Nami’s hometown and his treatment of her as a child, effectively enslaving her for years, create a deep-seated enmity that persists even as the story has long moved past his defeat.

Hody Jones

Following in Arlong’s footsteps, Hody Jones took the hatred for humans to a new extreme. His xenophobia and desire for revenge, fueled by a skewed interpretation of fish-man history, make him a figure of pure hatred. His willingness to sacrifice his own kind for his vendetta only adds to fans’ contempt.

Trebol

As one of the top executives of the Donquixote Pirates, Trebol played a pivotal role in Sugar’s protection, which kept an entire kingdom enslaved by Doflamingo’s whims. His manipulative nature and his sadistic joy in the suffering of others make Trebol a character fans find easy to despise.

Orochi

The shogun of Wano Country, Orochi, carries a deep-seated paranoia that has led him to commit unspeakable acts against his own people. His cowardice, coupled with his insidious nature, make him a figure that fans have little sympathy for, particularly as the Wano arc unfolds and his misdeeds become increasingly evident.

Foxy

Foxy the Silver Fox, though not evil on the same scale as others on this list, earns his place through sheer annoyance. His Foxy Pirates and the constant challenges from his Davy Back Fight offer a combination of frustration and begrudging laughter. His petty antics and ridiculous, over-the-top cheating make him a character fans love to hate.
