One Piece Characters with the Most Interesting Backstory

*This list is about the most interesting story, NOT the most tragic *
The Top Ten
1 Monkey D. Luffy Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy is a fictional character and the protagonist of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Luffy's backstory was the best. I wish Nami fans weren't cheating

Why is nami #1? Her backstory wasn't that great compared to Luffy's

Luffy's backstory was great, I'm glad he's at number 1

Luffy's backstory was the most interesting for me.

2 Sanji Vinsmoke Sanji, most commonly known by his moniker "Black Leg" Sanji, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He is the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the former sous chef of the Baratie. He is also the third son of the Vinsmoke Family, thus making him a prince of the Germa Kingdom.

No other character backstory got as much focus as Sanji's backstory. It was got covered in three different arcs and I suspect we will get even more later because his family can still be important for future events.

I thought it was very original and also very sad. It was also he focus of an entire arc and got integrated in the curent plot better than other backstories so it was pretty interesting. And it's sill being relevant in the next arc (Wano) something I didn't expect. Other than Reiju and the mom, his family are not exactly likable but I found them cool and interesting characters in my opinion. Except Judge. I'll never forgive him. >:

Sanji's backstory played a crucial role in the Whole Cake Island arc and has big ramifications for future events so that makes his backstory one of the most important ones we've been shown so far.

Sanji's backstory was so sad and heartbreaking. I almost cried 3 hours without stopping.

3 Trafalgar Law "Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar D. Water Law is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Lost a family twice. One his real family and the other is a man who tried to save him from death and falling in the darkness. But in the end he ended up alone with the ope ope no mi to heal himself and revenge to the man who saved him. Law was supposed to die after 3 years but thanks to carozon he saved him. Law was the saddest one piece backstory to me and of course not forgetting about Robin and Sanji.

This backstory was so interesting and in the same time very sad. One of my favourites. Law literally deserves the world.

Corazon was just the greatest. He alone makes Law's backstory worth it.

Best cause of cora

4 Nami Nami is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. She is based on Ann and Silk, two characters from Oda's previous manga Romance Dawn.

After Nami's backstory people start to love One Piece.

Nami number 1? I like it! I vote for it. Her story is so sad and touching.

Nami's backstory was the reason why people continued watching one piece. Honestly her backstory is one of my favourites, I loved it.

5 Portgas D. Ace Portgas D. Ace, born as Gol D. Ace and nicknamed "Fire Fist" Ace, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

The real main character of One Piece. If it weren't for him Luffy would be...(you know what) If I write what happened to him, I will start crying.

6 Nico Robin "Devil Child" Nico Robin is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Her home island was destroyed by the world government when she was only 8. It just showed us how awful the WG can be. Robin's backstory was one of the most interesting backstories in anime for sure

It's a classic. One of the most tragic and troubling backstory in anime.

Not only is Robin's story by far the most interesting in the series, it's also the most impactful.

7 Senor Pink
8 Brook "Soul King" Brook is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. Brook is the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is a Devil Fruit user who ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi, and is undead, having been brought back into a pseudo-immortal state because of its powers.

The worst thing that could happen to anyone really happened to my dear Brook. He lost everything.

9 Donquixote Doflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. Doflamingo was the captain of the Donquixote Pirates, a former Shichibukai with a frozen bounty of 340,000,000 Beli, the most influential underworld broker under the codename "Joker", and is a former ...read more.

23 Franky "Iron Man" Franky is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He is the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates.
24 Gaimon
25 Crocodile

Crocodile's backstory is interesting for how he got the hook and the scar. It's interesting his fight against Whitebeard, his lost dream to become king of the pirates and the secret hidden by Ivankov.
