Best One Piece Characters Who Never Fight

Key Takeaways

Influential One Piece characters can impact the plot without fighting, due to their actions and their relationships.
Some characters, like Makino, Kaya, and Genzo, played significant roles in the Straw Hat Pirates’ backstories despite not being fighters.
Even non-combatants like Dr. Kureha and Iceburg contributed to the story and character development significantly.

As a connoisseur of the grand tapestry that is One Piece, I must say that the characters who have left the most indelible mark on this vibrant world are those who have not only shown extraordinary strength but also an unparalleled intellect. Among these intellectual titans, there are few as intriguing and captivating as our dear Doctor Vegapunk (Stella).

It’s undeniable that Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece boasts one of the most intricate and vibrant fictional realms ever constructed, a fact clearly demonstrated by its diverse characters. While there are numerous pirates and marines who are perpetually at odds with each other, it’s important to also consider the multitude of individuals caught in the crossfire between them.

It’s worth noting that within the world of One Piece, there are several significant characters who are ordinary civilians and can’t participate in battles because they haven’t consumed a Devil Fruit or mastered Haki. Remarkably, these eight characters have significantly impacted the storyline and other characters, despite their lack of combat skills.

8 Makino

Luffy’s Caring “Older Sister”

Best One Piece Characters Who Never Fight

First Appearance: Chapter 1 (Manga) Episode 4 (Anime)

It’s common knowledge among fans of “One Piece” that Red Hair Shanks served as a model and major inspiration for Monkey D. Luffy during his youth. Yet, it’s essential not to overlook Makino’s impact on the young pirate, as she played a significant role in shaping him into the kind-hearted individual he is today.

Makino, a common bartender from Foosha Village, was always warm and kind to Luffy whenever the Red Hair Pirates frequented her bar. She even went out of her way to check on him during his time with Dadan and the mountain tribe, teaching both Luffy and Ace good etiquette and sewing clothes for them. In essence, Makino unintentionally became like a big sister to Luffy due to her caring actions.

7 Kaya

Usopp’s Close Friend And A Brilliant Doctor In Training

First Appearance: Chapter 23 (Manga) Episode 9 (Anime)

For quite some time, Usopp frequently visited Kaya and spun yarns of fantasy to brighten her days as she recuperated from her ailment, confined at home. As their bond deepened, they grew incredibly close friends, with Kaya being almost the sole resident of Syrup Village who valued Usopp and his fabled narratives.

Even though Kaya was frail and unable to engage in combat, she courageously stood up for herself following Klahadore’s deceit. Moved by her own suffering, she resolved to become a physician to prevent others from enduring the same pain. Furthermore, it is worth noting that Kaya (in conjunction with her butler, Merry) was instrumental in providing the Straw Hat Pirates their first vessel, the Going Merry – a contribution of immense significance to their voyage.

6 Genzo

Nami’s Often Forgotten Father Figure

First Appearance: Chapter 71 (Manga) Episode 32 (Anime)

Nami grew up under the care of two significant figures: Bell-mere, a selfless woman who gave her life for Nami, and Genzo, the esteemed sheriff of Cocoyasi Village. Although Genzo might not have agreed with Bell-mere’s parenting style at times, it is evident that he held great affection for Nami and Nojiko, particularly following the Arlong Pirates’ invasion of their village.

Despite being a sheriff, Genzo isn’t particularly fond of fighting, but he showed great courage by challenging Arlong on multiple occasions, resulting in numerous scars on his body. When Nami was rescued by the Straw Hat Pirates and chose to join them, Genzo ensured they wouldn’t harm her. Over the years, Genzo had worn a pinwheel on his hat because it brought joy to Nami when she was young, and this symbol became significant for Nami, who later incorporated it into the design of her new tattoo.

5 Dr. Kureha

The Brilliant Doctor Who Taught Chopper Everything He Knows

First Appearance: Chapter 134 (Manga) Episode 80 (Anime)

Kureha is a 141-year-old individual, renowned for her exceptional medical wisdom across the entire One Piece universe. Interestingly, it appears she has never been involved in combat. However, this isn’t necessary given her vast and accurate understanding of medicine that enables her to provide comfort and healing to others.

As a gamer putting myself in the shoes of Chopper, I can’t help but acknowledge that despite her intense demeanor and tough training regimen, Kureha is undeniably a compassionate soul who pours her heart into caring for her patients and fellow doctors. After the untimely demise of my dear friend Dr. Hiriluk, she took it upon herself to nurture me like a mother would, guiding me through the challenges that eventually led to me becoming the brilliant doctor I am today within the Straw Hat Pirates crew.

4 Iceburg

A Talented But Eccentric Shipwright Who Grew Up Alongside Franky

First Appearance: Chapter 323 (Manga) Episode 230 (Anime)

Many characters in the series One Piece possess an unique charm by being both stylish and quirky, and Iceburg embodies this blend perfectly. On one side, he’s a skilled shipbuilder who mastered his craft under the tutelage of the renowned Tom, eventually ascending to become both the head of Galley-La Company and the esteemed mayor of Water 7.

Despite having an exceptional career and a highly respected standing, Iceburg exhibits some quirks that make him an eccentric and juvenile individual. He often picks his nose, occasionally skips meetings on a whim, and never leaves home without his pet mouse, Tyrannosaurus. The blend of these contrasting aspects of his character gives Iceburg a distinct and endearing charm, demonstrating in the world of One Piece that one doesn’t have to be a formidable warrior to make an impact.

3 Morgans

A Deceitful Journalist Who Controls The Flow Of Information

First Appearance: Chapter 860 (Manga) Episode 828 (Anime)

The reputation of pirates and marines in the eyes of the general populace is an underrated factor of the One Piece world. And one of the key figures who controls the information that is available to the public, much to the displeasure of the World Government, is none other than “Big News” Morgans, the president of the World Economy newspaper. For starters, one thing that makes him interesting is the fact that he actually ate an Albatross Devil Fruit, yet he only uses it to hide his real identity, and not for fighting.

Morgan is intriguing as he’s not strictly good or bad – he sometimes alters facts for higher newspaper sales, yet consistently demonstrates mistrust towards the World Government. For instance, he refused to let them dictate his news articles and assisted Vivi in hiding from them following King Cobra’s death. Additionally, he was the one who announced Luffy as the “Fifth Emperor” before anyone else, a significant plot twist.

2 Kouzuki Hiyori

A Clever Manipulator Who Used Her Looks To Avenge Her Father

First Appearance: Chapter 909 (Manga) Episode 892 (Anime)

In the realm of One Piece, Kouzuki Oden was arguably among the most formidable swordsmen. However, unlike her father, Kouzuki Hiyori didn’t tread the same path. Instead, she finds herself as a poignant character who endured the hardships of living in a land devastated by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, following the murder of her father. Despite these adversities, she blossomed into a stunningly beautiful and insightful woman. Remarkably, she navigated Orochi’s forces without relying on raw power, choosing instead to use cunning and intelligence.

In a clever twist of events, Hiyori disguised herself as Komurasaki, a renowned oiran, to win over Orochi without revealing her true identity. This deception ultimately led to his capture, setting the stage for an intense and fulfilling confrontation where she revealed her contempt for him – a moment that left a lasting impact in the Wano Country Arc. It was Denjiro who dealt the final blow, but it was Hiyori’s strategic thinking and unyielding determination that paved the way for his success.

1 Dr. Vegapunk (Stella)

The Most Intelligent And Influential Person In The Entire World

First Appearance: Chapter 1066 (Manga) Episode 1096 (Anime)

Vegapunk, the Doctor from One Piece, serves as a testament that not everyone in this universe necessitates combat skills to leave an indelible mark on its intricate tapestry. His prodigious intellect, augmented by his Devil Fruit, the Nomi Nomi no Mi, has enabled him to make groundbreaking scientific advancements. These range from unraveling the mysteries of Devil Fruits, to designing potent bioweapons such as the Pacifistas and Seraphims.

Despite being employed by the World Government, his unwillingness to fight didn’t hinder him from defying them in his unending quest for knowledge and truth, particularly during the Void Century. Regrettably, Vegapunl’s tenacity resulted in his untimely demise, yet he continues to exist not just in the countless individuals he influenced through his research and discoveries, but also in all of his satellites who share his preference for avoiding conflict.
