8 Times The Straw Hats KILLED People

the straw hats have killed people in one piece and today not just one but four straw hats are going to stand trial for their alleged crimes one piece tends to have this very squeaky clean reputation when it comes to killing because nobody dies in one piece except for when they do and when they do they never killed by our innocent protagonists except for when they are so something that Luffy makes very clear at every available opportunity is that he is not a hero he's a pirate and that goes for the rest of the crew as well they are not Heroes murder is not above the straw hats or is it below is murder below them murder is not beneath the straw I don't know did that that's we're going to begin this is why I don't improvise and first to stand trial is The Swordsman Rowan ozoro he stands accused of kill murdering the original Mr Seven of Baroque Works prior to the series beginning when it comes to Mr 7even the One Piece Wiki has very carefully chosen their words for his article where it states that he died on duty when he attempted to forcefully recruit Rowan oora which is a bit like writing a news article after you've been warned by the legal team not to say anything about the event our reports state that the victim died in the same room as Zoro was in at the time Mr Seven's corpse was covered in Cuts zoro's swords were slathered in Blood and a message was left stating I Rono Zoro killed this dude and there's a big bloody arrow pointing to the body of Mr s so with all of the available evidence we can only conclude that Mr 7 passed away whilst on duty somehow to be fair the viz translation very much sanitizes this event as well in chapter 190 Mr one States you're that pirate Hunter who took out Mr Seven right and then Zoro confronts Mr one's vagueness with vagueness of his own instead of agreeing to my demand he attacked me so I dealt with him it's all very Mafia speak take him out deal with him however this is disputed by viz itself current official translator Steven Paul prior to commencing his employment did his own fan translations of the first 53 volumes of one piece and in his unofficial official translation not only does Mr one accuse Zoro of killing Mr 7 but he further states that Zoro killed the 100 bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak which puts us in a bit of a weird position because 99% of the time what the official says is law but this is the official translator speaking just in a non-official capacity what we definitely know is that Mr one was slightly exaggerating because we know that Vivy igam Miss Monday and Mr N9 survived so at most Zoro could only have killed 96 bounty hunters including Mr Beans a small child although what I will say for it is that Luffy's actions would make a lot more sense if this was the case Luffy wakes up sees 96 bodies scouted about and then outright states that he is going to kill Zoro or states that Zoro is going to die I guess so I guess we could accuse Luffy of attempted motor here but we'll get to the captain in a bit because he's accused of some very very serious crimes as well with Zoro though the only one we can 100% prove is Mr Seven because he's officially deceased with the cause of death being noted as very Zoro related and the Netflix live action adaptation went as far as to show Zoro literally Cho popping Mr seven into pieces and then stuffing him in a big old bag there's Reasonable Doubt with the bounty hunters though because even if Steven Paul's translation is correct we're still taking the word of Mr one here crocodile could have heard about the failure at Whiskey Peak had everyone killed and told his agents well it was that nasty nasty sword guy not me your boss who loves you but zor is not completely off the hook yet in chapter 99 zor reveals that he's familiar enough with blood that he can even smell it from quite the great distance particularly on the magistrate presumably after he had bathed after murdering that guy but these are quite ominous words as he proceeded to slice open the wner magistrate with a seppuku knife and this is another one that's disputed because later on Zoro was referred to as the magistrate murderer in a poor quality fan translation however viz just States it's the guy that sliced up the magistrate leaving it very vague the dispute arises because the exact term in Japanese is Kitty the key portion being the kanji for beheading kill or murder however when combined with the re is DED down a bit to mean cut so I had to go and ask arter from the library of oara about this and he said that the way it's written tends to imply an assassination however it doesn't necessarily mean it was a successful assassination so look I think that Zoro may have gotten away with this one but how many more people can Zoro be accused of killing well no more people but I'd say about 15 to 30 more fish people in chapter 73 arlong returns to find the vast majority of his crew on the floor and in the next chapter arong accuses Zoro of quote slaughtering my men which certainly does paint quite the Vivid picture of kill murder however yeah look in English Slaughter can be used in a way that doesn't necessarily mean kill as well like say a sports team loses their Sports match but they lose it by like a lot you could say that they got slaughtered however Haan then walks in and says I'd never let anyone kill myit is very Australian of him and he also adds I'd have scuppered that blasted pirate Hunter because early viz had this obsession with using very florid piratey language but the way that both arong and hachan talk about it is as if zor did stroll in and kill like 15 to 30 fishmen then decided to relax on a chair surrounded by their corpses which compared to his whiskey Peak allegations does sound like a more relaxing day I suppose however the bodies of the fishermen are lacking any sort of damage to the best of what I can see not a single one of them is even slash not visibly anyway and that's important because the slashing is the thing it is that Zoro does so to kill them he would have had to do something like I was honestly going to say drown them but that wouldn't work something less messy though and this one's difficult because Al implies that Zoro killed his men and then haon removes all ambiguity by using the word kill and of course we do have bodies a lot of bodies so with what we have I think that Zoro has to be found guilty take him away someone and next up on the stand is niik Robin who I believe has already publicly plad guilty however on the advice of her legal team has decided to investigate the matter regardless now major piece of evidence for this sneaker Robin crime comes from chapter 218 where Robin briefly explains her backstory a child can't live on the high seas alone I survived by joining various Outlaw gangs as a result I became an expert in operating in the shadows and when Usopp asks what Robin's specialty is she replies assassination but here's the thing right this was a very intimidating and kind of spooky line to hear at the time but after having gotten to know Robin a lot more I think this might just be her dark sense of humor because all the evidence we have suggests that Robin always goes out of her way not to kill people like igam on Whiskey Peak who could only have survive due to Robin's intervention while rescuing Luffy on Alabaster Robin doesn't even like it when other people try to kill people and even though her clutch attacks are incredibly brutal they never kill anyone the person who probably handed the worst was spandam when Robin broke his back Al they were sailing away from any slobby but even spandam survived and the fact that it was spandam is actually important which is something I never thought I would say but in this case it's very relevant when it comes to Canon Power scaling spandam was rated at n DUI which is weaker than the average Marine who has a power level of 10 doiki so if spandam is surviving the worst of Robin's attacks then so is everyone else the only evidence we have that Robin has ever killed someone is her own word which may or may not have been a joke and I I cannot convict based on that going into this video I thought that Robin was one of the two straw hats that were sure fire convictions but niik Robin has been found not guilty come to think of it one piece has had a lot of characters that claimed to be Assassins but then we never see any evidence to back up that claim and really can you even be an assassin without having assassin someone it's like claiming to be a painter without even having done your first painting there's only one character in the series who can claim to be an assassin and that is Rob Luchi Who as a bit of a Coming of Age moment when he hit 13 killed 500 hostages and who is said to be the strongest most cold-blooded killer in the history of cp9 but he's a bad man A very bad bad man so we expect that of him who we don't expect it from is Nami who I must now ask to take the stand Nami isn't above killing people and killing people isn't below her either she's like right in the middle no she's below the killing I don't understand my own metaphors Nami gets used a lot as comic relief but she had a real rough childhood and came to terms with the world that she grew up in and there's at least one moment in the series where Nami has stated a serious intention to kill someone that would be during chapter 88 where she states the intention to kill Al the chapter is even titled I with like three exclamation marks it's a lot although maybe it's just German for the and Nami was saying theong Thee the BART the fair enough though that's arong I'm not here to argue morals but I take zero issue with nami wanting to kill the person who killed her mother but what about all of the people who never got the chance to kill belare such as in chapter 8 where we have our introduction to Nami tricking three of Buggy's crew members onto her boat which was deliberately planted to take advantage of weather that would subsequently capsize the ship Nami even celebrated as her prediction was spoton and she left all three of them to drown so I believe the amount of time a person can survive in water alone is dependent on the temperature but whatever the temperature is it tends to be not not long and if zor hadn't come along these three dudes would be finished so I would be very willing to convict Nami on attempted murder but that is far from her most Grievous charge for that we move to episode 61 where we have Eric the wwin stowing away aboard the going Mary and after revealing himself Nami deliberately knocks Eric into the Waters of reverse mountain now due to the nature of fictional Pirates just knocking someone into the water isn't an immediate death sentence as we've seen which is also why we're not examining usopp's actions in chapter 367 where he shot a marine into the Waters of aqual lagona however I suppose that a decent legal defense could be that these were the actions of SOA King and Uso probably has an alibi elsewhere but it's important to note in this the Nami case that Eric the wallwind was a devil fruit user and he was knocked into some of the roughest water Waters of reverse Mountain would no one else in sight to save him and even if someone else was in sight who would do it if you watched the anime this dude is 100% dead and army quite gleefully kills him as well because she even waves bye-bye afterwards the key word in that phrase being anime though Eric is not a Canon character even though his filler story is weaved into Canon events and there's also some question as to whether or not he's actually dead which to be honest I don't think anyone but me has ever asked this question but here we are because Eric does reappear in one piece the great Hidden Treasure of the nanatsu islands best known as The Game feature Simon and the Simon Pirates as its main antagonists Eric does appear in that but in the hierarchy of Cannon it goes manga maybe anime and then here games way down here you can't even see it that's how irrelevant the games are so in the case of Nami whilst her killer intent is on Full display in both Cannon and non-canon material my ruling is that even if she did Kill Eric in the anime non-canon characters are beyond our jurisdiction to judge so we'd best let's move on to the boss of this crime cohort Monkey D Luffy and Luffy's crowning accusation comes most recently from chapter 1049 where he stands accused of killing emperor of the sea kaido and Luffy did this fire one of the most Sure Fire ways to kill someone possible which is to punch them into a vat of underground magma and kaido's fate here was handled quite mysteriously in the manga all we see is this silhouette of him in the magma with a figure next to him which was potentially thought to be big mom but could also being kaido's clothing that had come off in all the commotion and let's be real unintentional nudity probably the least of his worries in this moment but I was very curious to see how the anime would adapt this because they don't have that same luxury of Silhouettes and for the purposes of Luffy's trial this is very good news because the way toi portrayed it is that kaido fell into the magma and then nothing happened they just show him sinking into this very thin magma as if Luffy had just playfully pushed kaido into a pool he's not burning disintegrating or seemingly in any discomfort whatsoever in fact if he did die from this position then it would be from asphixiation rather than having his body violently burnt up by all of the magma and shortly after this episode a we saw a significant Market impact on sakazuki stocks which saw a stunning decline after everyone realized that apparently magma is completely harmless funnily enough in this case there's also an enduring question of whether or not kaido killed Luffy before the gear fifth reveal happens MOS says that he can't hear Luffy's voice anymore tral Galore then says the same thing straw Hat's voice has vanished which as a quick side note to this side note is a fascinating thing for Mr law to say considering he's not a user of the voice of all things at least not one that we know of and then the drums of Liberation happen AKA Luffy's heart restarts so at this point I guess it's technically possible that Luffy was technically dead and then the fruit awakened but as for the matter of killing kaider I can't figure out if we even have a victim so Luffy is currently not guilty but this this Luffy man he still has three more counts to deal with the last of which may be the most horrific acts that we've ever seen from a member of this crew in chapter 533 Luffy very clearly kicked and punched and pushed and other sorted actions a whole ton of impel down Gods into the Flames of the Blazing hell so with kaido surviving being pushed into magma at least we know that he's the strongest creature in the world and has very natural unnaturally High Resistance these guys they don't have that and we're not talking playful anime Flames either to set the stage the prisoners say hey don't do it you can't kill us before they get whacked into the blazing Hells at which point the prisoners proceed to scream I'm burning before the voices fade away and we never see them again so when Luffy smacks the impel down Gods into the Blazing Hells it's about as close to a guaranteed death as one can get but at the same time it's never good to make assumptions in fact while I was researching this video one of my favorite things has been reading comments from people making their assumptions with zero evidence like Giovani on quarter who said I would estimate this Luffy 20,000 people how Marin he has knocked off into treacherous water Waters and any normal water alike impel Downs lava that instantly kills you water 7 has no need to explain dress Rosa he killed hundreds of doy's lower downs and he has killed a lot more a normal person cannot survive being flown 300 M through the air up vote if you agree and it does have two up votes so at least one other person does agree with Giovani because I'm convinced that the other is himself but because this is one piece I can see the impul downard surviving or more accurately because I didn't see them overtly dying I think that Luffy is going to get lucky on this count meanwhile in chapter 756 Luffy blows a hole clean through one of Sugar's headcracker dolls and what we need to keep in mind is that these dolls were created out of people and having toy bodies does not make them disposable quite the opposite the two forms carry over which we can see with Gus he was missing a leg when he got turned into a toy and so the soldier was also missing a leg so Luffy having blown the stomach right out of this headcracker has potentially sakazuki two whole people because the breakdown of the head crackers is that each one of them is made up of eight people and two whole people serve as the body so if anything Luffy has caused far more damage than sakazuki did twice and very potentially killed up to two people with this attack but as likely as that is I can't say it's confirmed either here's something that is confirmed though one piece movie six barom Matsui and the secret Island still to this day the darkest one piece movie which Chronicles the creu splitting apart and Luffy losing each of them one by one at one stage assumed to be dead and at the very end of the film Luffy cracks in Anger that we have never seen before and properly finishes Baron aater with a St Charlo esque punch where all of the color vanishes in fact this film was almost certainly the inspiration for that punch because it came out in 2005 and charos being hit wasn't animated until 2009 the difference is that in this film Luffy's punch kills Baron Aerie we hear his last thoughts lamenting the death of his crew and such and then aaty himself passes away it's a pretty brutal ending to an equally is brutal film where Luffy unequivocally takes a life so I would rule him guilty however again non-canon material is outside of our jurisdiction and in the end the three characters that have killed are all og3 Luffy Zoro and Nami however the only one unable to escape the cannon charges was Zoro so jail for him and I don't know a lowbudget mandatory afterwork pizza party for the rest I'm pretty sure that's how court works and if you want more then please do hit the Subscribe button for consistent
