Zoro can't even keep his plotlines on a straight path. But seriously it does seem to be addressed every time they interact, hopefully there is more emotional payoff the next time they cross paths.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
smoker kinda sorta helps luffy, and does so more later on when he realizes that Absolute Justice is a load of fascist dogshit, but smoker is still a cop and still mostly a patsy for the world government
he might heel turn eventually, but he hasn't really yet
jinbei also owns
Was Jinbei ever really against Luffy? He was already in jail for refusing Warlord duties when Luffy met him.
against luffy expressly? no
but the warlords were absolutely antagonistic
he is STRONG and does not give a FUCK is all I really need from zoro
But there’s a decent amount of examples in One Piece. Hancock, Kuma, Bon Clay, Robin, Franky, Hachi.
I guess Buggy counts as an antagonist but also hasn't run into Luffy or affected him indirectly with his mercenary network at all since he became a warlord.
Zoro can't keep anything on a straight path. He could get lost walking down a straight hall and I'm pretty sure he actually has! At least he's not as bad as Ryouga from Ranma, otherwise the team would need him on Wano and he's somehow back on Rogue Island
kuma is... complicated
he both definitely hampered the straw hats, but also helped them considering he's a revolutionary
law sorta did? kinda? mostly reluctantly at first
mihawk straight up tries to kill luffy during marineford, not like fake kill, like actual kill
although he sorta half-asses it cause he's bored and probably didn't wanna piss off shanks
also because the world government are monstrous and literally nobody actually likes or trusts akainu
nah
but most of the warlords fought for the marines, including mihawk
Yep. Mihawk didn't actually touch Luffy. Luffy made as if to punch him, but then immediately stopped because he realized Mihawk would take his arm or worse for failing to recognize the danger.
The explanation I've heard is that they kept it a secret to avoid him being targeted or exploited. Which then backfired to the point of making him suicidally reckless out of desperation to make friends and family.
Aka, the Leaf village is actually the villain once again, Pain was correct to try to kill it.
There's a period of Leaf Village rule that's best described as Poor Life Decisions.
This period is all of it, as one of the co-founders is the lead up to the true villain of the ENTIRE SERIES.
lava punch through another (fish) dude to get it. akainu is a bastard coated bastard but he is fucking tenacious and good at pirate murdering.
i do appreciate the moral gradient of marines. some are fundamentally good but opposed to the pirates because they believe in order (smoker, aokiji, sengoku, fujitora and garp) some are unquestioning soldiers (kizaru, most of the other vice admirals) and others are fundamentalist javerts (akainu).
fujitora is good though
EDIT: and kizaru doesn't care about law or order, dude just wants to murder
i'm more referring to IG Sengoku re: Rosinante and Law but fair point, his predeterminationist view of inheritance is enough to throw him in the ACAB pile.
yeah kizaru's dull affect does give off some serial killer mob enforecer vibes, like marlo stanfield or something.
To be fair, it's mostly only worse because they're in power. A lot of pirates aren't any better, they just don't have the same scope for being bastards.

Aokiji/Akainu/Kizaru were all based off of actors famous for yakuza/thug roles, as I remember.
Still waiting on that Riki Takeuchi Admiral, Oda...

So I just played the remake of yakuza 1 ( my first in experience in the series ) but if Kizaru just showed up and started fighting kiryu or majima I wouldn’t even blink dude is a fucking gangster .
Yeah, the original three admirals are based off of 3 famous Japanese actors, all of who have done their fair share of Yakuza films. Then of course Fujitora is Blind Swordsman Zatoichi.
Looking forward to you eventually checking out Yakuza Zero and getting a load of the lieutenants in that. There's some great actors with some great faces they chose for that group.
