Top 10 One Piece Characters with the Saddest Back Stories and Childhood
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... read more Sanji had it rough. His mother died early, he's considered a failure, neglected by his father, beaten up daily by his siblings, then locked up and forced to wear an iron mask because his father didn't want anyone to see him. These were before his ship sunk and he was left starving on a rock for three months.
The part when he was starving on the rock was already kinda sad, but when you learn what happened before that with the bullying, rejection, beatings, death of his mom, iron mask... Jeez Sanji has some rotten luck.
Pretty much the standard package of watching everything you've ever loved die. Difference with Law was that he was certain he was gonna die too so he believed he had nothing to live for. Everyone else in this list still had their motivations for living. His was mutual destruction until Corazon gave him hope but even then despite this, he new purpose would be for revenge. He explicitly states he never thought he'd survive pass Dress Rossa so all this time the poor guy has never had to live just for the sake of living. Nico Robin comes close but the Buster Call is at least clean, she didn't have to see her loved ones get their brains blown out (if that can be considered a mecry.)
Also his sickness caused him to be in constant pain.
Her mother left her, she was mistreated by her aunt, then everyone she knew died.
How is brook so low here? He literally watched all of his friends die, one by one, as they sang a song with the fake smile on. Honestly, we don't know too much about him, but thinking about how lonely he probably was hurts me.
His crew died and he lived because of his devil fruit, but then he had to wait 40 years to get out again. He made a promise to Laboon, and he needs to keep it.
I'm telling you guys, Brook's backstory is criminally underrated. People tend to forget what he went through witnessing all his crew dying and being alone for 50 years! I would have gone mad!
Tony Tony Chopper, also known as "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper is a fictional character of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He had to leave his family, then he tried to get along with the townspeople, and got shot. A nice doctor takes him in and promises not to shoot him, and later he does. Then he's taken in by another doctor and his old doctor dies by a corrupt king.
Poor little Chopper. Rejected by his family and alone until he found the doctor.
Chopper had family but was rejected and because of his power the only person that cared about him died because of his power
Hancock has a well proportioned figure compared to the abnormal and huge appearance of her sisters. She is a very tall, slender woman with long black hair that extends past her waist with locks of hair that frame her face down to her chin, pale skin, large breasts, a high forehead, and dark brown (dark... read more
Doflamingo was a world noble, but his father decide to leave and become a human than a god. Honestly he have to run and hide for two years, eating garbage, beaten the hell up, mother died of a illness, was captured and torture untill he unlocked haki. He was then given a pistol by Trebol, and killed his farther. He tries to returned back with is his farther head, but was called a traitor by the celestial dragon. He later became the captain of the Donquixote Family, killed his brother corazon for betraying him, and more. I feel like he has the most tragic backstory in one piece, and is the best villain
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. Her mother died by Arlong. She had to steal for 8 years for him, and make sea charts. It turns out he would never let her, because that day marines showed up, as though Arlong called them.
I really didn't like him in the beginning, but after seeing his back story I kinda started liking him, and it's the problem in One Piece, you can't really hate anyone because of their backstory
If you had seen One Piece Gold, you would understand why Tesoro had a sad childhood
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. It's not fair, ace should be first in my opinion. He died for his brother. I love ace so much.
He made luffy cry and luffy thew a giant rock and Break a mountain!
Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy is a fictional character and the protagonist of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. His brothers died, he got tortured, the person he cared about most got his arm bitten of saving him. I think this is an easy vote.
I think people are forgetting some of the stuff he went through. It may have not been as sad as some others but he did get tortured, abused, his brothers died and he survived a genocide of grey terminal.
I don't think Luffy's childhood (or Ace) was sad. In fact, it was one of the happiest one. The only sad part was losing Sabo but they still had each other, Dadan and the villagers. Plus he turned out to be alive which kinda ruins the sad factor a little lol
Imagine your wife dying in your arms without knowing that you are her husband...Imagine yourself trying to comfort your daugther ( because her mother just died ) while she cry thinking that you are just a strange toy... just imagine your own daugther saying " you are not even my father " to you, and you are just watching all of that (for ten years) powerless because you can't even prove her wrong
