Top 10 Best Mentors In One Piece
#10 – FISHER TIGER
Fisher Tiger was the founder and original captain of the Sun Pirates. He was very idealistic, making the principles of liberation and freedom the basics of the Sun Pirates.
Jinbe enlisted in the Neptune Army until the rebellion of his mentor Fisher Tiger take him to join the Sun Pirtaes. At first violent and hateful towards humans, Jinbe learned to accept humans in his yourney as a pirate. After the death of Fisher Tiger, Jinbe took over as the captain of the crew.
#9 – KOSHIRO
Koshiro is Roronoa Zoro’s teacher and Kuina’s father. Zoro is grateful to Koshiro for teaching him the sword and giving him the Meito Wadō Ichimonji. Although he didn’t understand it at the time, Koshiro taught Zoro that there is much more to being a swordsman than the ability to cut through anything. A sword that can simply harm anything isn’t a real sword, and there is no sword mightier than the one that protects what it wants to protect.
#8 – ZEFF
Zeff is the head chef and owner of Baratie, former captain of the Cook Pirates, and was also Sanji’s cooking mentor and father figure.
While Zeff was always harshly critical towards Sanji, he did this to make Sanji into the great chef and tough fighter he is now. Zeff also seems to be responsible for Sanji’s strict code of never using any form of violence against women, threatening to beat up Sanji or even castrate him if he ever forgets this. Zeff mostly raised Sanji to be his son, as he believed it was his duty as “Sanji’s parent” to instill knowledge in him, including helping him develop his cooking skills and teaching him the value of a cook’s hands. Sanji’s signature fighting style was developed as a result of this teaching, which included Zeff beating him up whenever he threatened his hands in combat.
#7 – HILULUK
Hiluluk was Chopper’s mentor who took him in and became his “father”. They had a close relationship with each other, and had formed a deep bond despite their almost constant arguing with each other and Chopper had a hard time when he was informed of the disease Hiluluk is suffering from. The two slowly formed a sort of father/son relationship, traveling (and in a way terrorizing) the island trying to cure patients and generally resulting in them having to literally run for their lives from angry patients or their associates. Despite his time spent with the superior Doctor Kureha, Chopper refers to Hiluluk as “the greatest doctor in the world.”
#6 – PEDRO
Pedro of the Treetops is a jaguar mink and captain of the Guardians. In the past, he was the one who gave to Carrot gauntlets after he witnessed her lack of talent for swordsmanship. He then repeated the words Gol D. Roger told him in his youth to encourage her to became stronger.
When Pedro planned to sacrifice himself for the escape of the Sanji Retrieval Team, he warned Carrot beforehand, expressing his desire for their survival.
