Most Anticipated Moment of Each Straw Hat Pirate

By August Tales

The Yearning for the Grand Finale

One Piece fans are on tenterhooks as they prep for Monkey D. Luffy’s last hurrah. Echiiro Oda’s hit series has long been a potent influence in the realm of the classic Big Three anime—its popularity now rocketing to a zenith. The finale is upon us, with new adaptations stoking the flames of anticipation.

Throughout their journey, Luffy and his comrades have evolved in character strength and combat prowess. The Straw Hat Pirates are now more formidable than they’ve ever been. Fans are itching for the climax—stratospheric battles showcasing their favorite Straw Hat Pirates. There’s a certainty—the final showdown will be a sight to behold.

The Fish-Man’s Quest for Justice

The conflict of the Fish-Man touches Jinbei’s heart—the former Sun Pirates member and fellow Fish-Man. The Holy Knights, as protectors of the Celestial Dragons—whom Jinbei views as enemies—are a significant opposition to his desire for liberty. There’s a chance he may have to face them in battle.

The Holy Knights are not just new characters—they’re potential adversaries. The fight against the Mary Geoise kingdom would mean justice for Jinbei. The Son of the Sea is committed to combatting any ally of the Celestial Dragons.

The Ice vs The Fire

One Piece has a knack for intriguing parallels between characters. With the unavoidable clash between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates looming, an altercation between Brook and Vasco Shot seems inevitable.

The Wano Saga reveals Brook’s new techniques, while Vasco Shot lets loose the Glug-Glug Fruit’s fiery power. This contrast of abilities hints at an enthralling duel between the two.

Cyborg vs Muscle Man

Loved loudmouth meathead of the Straw Hats, Cyborg Franky has often been compared to Jesus Burgess from the Blackbeard Pirates. As the final saga nears, fans can’t wait to see Franky square off with his muscular adversary Burgess.

Both pirates share a muscular build and straightforward fighting styles. Fans are expecting an electrifying match.

Demon Child vs The Dangerous Pirate

Nico Robin’s fans are itching for more action from her in the final saga. The fight on the horizon defines who is the most dangerous female pirate.

As the Blackbeard Pirates’ strongest female member, Catarina Devon poses an intriguing challenge for Nico Robin. This clash of abilities and reputations promises to be a riveting one.

The Healer vs The Diseaser

Despite his subtle nature, and the love for medicine over fighting, Chopper embarks on combat as a significant member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Chopper’s ambition to eradicate all diseases and bring down corrupt doctors makes Doc Q his next expected adversary.

Doc Q, who embodies irony by bearing the Sick-Sick Fruit that infuses diseases, clashes with Chopper’s mission, aligning them perfectly for a face-off.

A Test of Strength

The Straw Hat Pirates have come a long way since last confronting Marine Admiral Kizaru—now stronger and much more formidable. These two fighters, known for their deadly kicks, make for an exciting match-up in the saga.

Kizaru’s regenerative abilities make him a formidable adversary. However, Sanji’s victories of late illustrate his growth in stature—a duel between the two is eagerly waited upon.

Sniper Showdown

Usopp has transitioned from being a labeled ‘weakling’ to a skilled sniper. Tracing his lineage to Yasopp, a legendary marksman, there is speculation that he will see his potential fulfilled against another sniper, Van Augur.

Although little is known about the Blackbeard Pirates, Van Augur has displayed striking sniper skills. With the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates ready for a showdown, Usopp is expected to challenge Van Augur.

A Battle of Wits

Despite her average human strength and lack of Devil Fruit powers, Nami has proved her worth using her weather-controlling Clima-Tact. As the impending battle against the Blackbeard Pirates approaches, a match between the navigators of rival crews would be a thrilling spectacle.

The fight against Lafitte could bring the Demon Sheriff to justice, which would be indeed rewarding to fans and testament to Nami’s capabilities.

Die by the Sword

The fight between Roronoa Zoro and Dracule Mihawk stands to decide the title of the world’s greatest swordsman. This rematch promises to be the most anticipated scenery in the One Piece cosmos.

Their last match left Zoro battered. However, his exponential growth since then, notably his victory against King the Conflagration, leaves fans hopeful.

Claim to the Throne:

The culmination of the One Piece final saga sees an inevitable showdown between Monkey D. Luffy and the notorious pirate, Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard. This fight would decide who would become the King of the Pirates.

Deep-rooted animosity between the two after Blackbeard’s role in Portgas D. Ace’s tragic demise at Marineford, leads to an epic battle. Luffy and Blackbeard are destined to collide in this most-anticipated showdown of the series.
