7- PEDRO
Pedro of the Treetops was a jaguar mink and captain of the Guardians.
He accompanied the Sanji Retrieval Team in their quest to rescue Vinsmoke Sanji. Believing that the Straw Hats are the people who would lead the world to a new dawn, Pedro was willing to sacrifice his own life for them. During the escape from Whole Cake Island, he attempted to take down Perospero with a suicidal explosion in order to ensure the Straw Hats escape. Though Perospero survived the explosion, Pedro’s actions freed his friends and the Sunny, allowing them to escape.
The team then grieved over Pedro’s presumed death afterwards. Wanting to honor Pedro’s self sacrifice, Pekoms betrayed the Big Mom Pirates in his attempt to help Luffy escape Cacao Island after his victory against Katakuri inside the Mirro-World. After the Straw Hats escaped Totto Land, Sanji learned of his sacrifice and, recalling the time he first met him, mourned his death while silently blaming himself over his death.
6- DR. HILULUK
Dr. Hiluluk was a quack doctor from Drum Island, as well as Tony Tony Chopper’s father figure.
Hiluluk loved Chopper and even ate a poisonous mushroom to encourage Chopper to became a doctor. That showed how strong Hiluluk’s love was, as he took the deadly dish despite his life’s work not yet proven to be completed. Chopper was devastated by his death and decided to become the best doctor he could through the teachings of Kureha. Despite the superior skills of Kureha and other doctors, Chopper would forever memorialize Hiluluk as the “greatest doctor in the world”.
5- DONQUIXOTE ROSINANTE “CORAZON”
Donquixote Rosinante was formerly a World Noble of the Donquixote Family descent, as the second son of Donquixote Homing and the younger brother of Donquixote Doflamingo. After his family lost their status as Celestial Dragons and became pariahs, Rosinante became an Elite Officer of the Donquixote Pirates, serving under Doflamingo under the codename Corazon.
The truth, however, was that he was a Marine Commander, working undercover in order to stop Doflamingo. He was found out by the former Corazon, Vergo, and was executed by Doflamingo 13 years ago.
Corazon was the only one who truly care about Law at that time and Law was so saddened at Corazon’s death that he swore revenge against Doflamingo. It is Corazon that makes Law becomes who he is nowadays.
4- EDWARD NEWGATE “WHITEBEARD”
Whitebeard was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and was known as “The Strongest Man in the World” and “The Man closest to One Piece” after Gol D. Roger’s death.
Whitebeard died in the battle of the Marineford. He sustained 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds, and 46 wounds from cannonballs, and got half of his head blasted off, resulting in 465 injuries in total. In addition, Whitebeard was on the receiving end of one of Kizaru’s laser beams and two of Akainu’s magma blasts. Whitebeard also received a brutal assault from the Blackbeard Pirates. However, even after taking so much damage in his already weakened state, he died standing, an impressive feat when compared to other characters. Even Teach was shocked by Whitebeard’s tenacity.
