3 – RORONOA ZORO
The perfect combination of toughness, ruthlessness, compassion, realism and strong will.
Zoro wants to protect his captain’s dream as much as he wants his dream as a swordsman come true. Going so far to be willing to sacrifice himself and his own pride.
2 – “RED HAIR” SHANKS
First of all, he’s the one to inspire Luffy to be a pirate! Second he’s a Yonko (one of the 4 most powerful pirates in the World) but most of all he ended the Battle of Marineford by just showing up!
One hand only.. no Devil Fruit power… insane Haki power… respected and feared by everyone. Shanks is an absolute boss.
1 – EDWARD NEWGATE “WHITEBEARD”
This guy had the power to destroy the world, he was hinted to be the strongest pirate after Gol D. Roger and the only one who could rival with him.
He went to war against the Marine’s Headquarters being 72 years old and died standing after being stabbed 267 times, shot 562 times and hit with 46 cannonballs, losing half of his head and all this without taking in regard the injuries he accumulated over the years and that he was quite ill. That is how Badass he was!!
