While ultimately his twisted outlook is a consequence of the oppression he was bear under , this does n’t excuse Hody ’s perfectly despicable actions .

5Spandam

A pathetic coward who relishes flaunting his position.

Unlike many of the other villains inOne Piece , Spandam is n’t very daunting . In fact , in the arc he seem , he is presented almost as a trick when compare to the powerful member of CP9 . Despite this , hestands out as being a completely irredeemable monster , gloating over Robin ’s sufferingand being an all - around atrocious person at every opportunity . All of this pull in his lack of power actually even more frustrating given that he service as a representation of the World Government institutions that allow wretched men to lift to locating of authority .

Orochi gleefully fake Oden , give him look like a fool in front of his people for five old age before his public instruction execution . Perhaps his more grievous crime is howhe has let both his hoi polloi and the very land of Wano itself be ransack by the befoulment due to Kaido ’s factories . This has led to the defacement and starvation of his subjects and made his own selfish vindictiveness seem petty by comparison , causing him to becomeone ofOne Piece ’s most hat villains .

A truly monstrous dictator and villain.

Doflamingo was the ruler of Dressrosa when the Straw Hats chat the island , and he subject that landed estate to his cruel will . Anyone who disagree with him was turned into a living doll and when the Straw Hats threaten his pattern , he trammel the island ’s citizens in a giant bird batting cage that almost destroyed them . His attitude largely stanch from his childhood as a heavenly Dragon live on among vulgar people , who attempted to murder him and his family line . Butno backstory can vindicate the cruel pleasance he arrive at from torment those he has mogul over , make him well one ofOne Piece ’s most unworthy villain .

While One Piece sports a massive ensemble cast , each of their powers are unique and disagree in interesting ways . However , a few stand out .

1Saint Charlos and the Celestial Dragons

Disgustingly entitled and depraved nobles.

The most ugly scoundrel inOne Pieceis arguably the weakest and that is St. Charlos . Charlos dish up as a stand - in for the disgustingly spoiled Celestial Dragons , the baronial year of the World Government who are legally able-bodied to do whatever they want to the universe and its people . Charlosmurders , enslaves , and steals anything that catches his fancywith seemingly no noesis of how depraved his actions are . But this ignorance really make his criminal offence worse , not dependable , as it means he has no moral limits to what he might do . This pee-pee Charlos and all the other Celestial Dragons like him easily the most despicable antagonist inOne Piece .

Part of why buff love these slimy villains is because they know that eventually the hero ofOne Piece ’s human beings will take them down . This is part of what makes the Straw Hats such inspirational Hero of Alexandria : they stand up and fight these despicable scoundrel when others wo n’t . While many new manga villains are becoming more complex and relatable , the aboveboard immorality ofOne Piece ’s slimy villainsshows referee that this sort of eccentric can be just as enjoyable .
