a piece There are many villainous characters, which makes sense for a series as extensive as this one that has been running for over 27 years. But the most interesting part about these opponents is what happened to them after Luffy and his team defeated them. Some are still completely unpredictable, while others later become unlikely allies of the Straw Hat Pirates in Ark.

On top of that, he recently made a cameo in which he seemed concerned about a major flood. a piece The world (and which the world government was hiding from the public).

Her tragic backstory resonated with many fans

It is important to point out that Senor Pink is to blame for the fate of his wife, the Russian, but he is fully aware of this, so Frankie defeats him and seeks atonement after the destruction of the Donquixote pirates. After all, he promised her that they would drink together one day. In the Egghead arc, it's revealed that the World Government has used its descent factor to duplicate its Devil Fruit, so, if more Impel Down prisoners are released in the near future, Senor Pink can fight everyone's favorite hard-together.

Based on this formula, many fans believe page one and his elder sister, UltiBeasts are members of the Pirates who are most likely to receive a Redemption Arc in the near future.

He is growing increasingly impatient with world government

• First appearance: Chapter 504 (Manga) Episode 398 (Anime)

Ever since he was introduced, Admiral Kizaru (real name: Borsalino) seemed to follow orders blindly and was regarded as a loyal character who would never go against the word of the Marines or the World Government. However, this seems to have changed during the Ahead arc, with a more recent – but still very interesting – development.

After being forced to help kill his best friend, Dr. Vegapunk, and ordered to destroy the island he had built many friendships with, Kizaru completely turns to Sakazuki, proving that he is beginning to tire of his superiors. Interestingly, Oda also confirmed that Borsalino is the one who gave Luffy all that food when he was trying to recharge, so he may have already started his redemption arc off-screen.
