One Piece: Most Enigmatic Characters

Since it first debuted over two decades ago back in 1997, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has introduced a myriad of characters, with each successive arc and saga in the storyline bringing in a host of new faces. The series has received acclaim for the depth of its world-building, where the new settings, cultures, and civilizations that bring each segment of the story to life are rich in detail, seeming almost real and lived in. In fact, One Piece‘s world-building is often regarded as one of the gold standards in fiction, setting a benchmark for comparison with other anime and manga titles.
