One Piece: 7 Characters Who Could Have Been Supernovas In Other Eras

Highlights

  • The title of Super Rookie or a Supernova is given to a promising pirate with a high bounty.
  • Supernovas do not have age restrictions, with some being over 40 years old.
  • Characters like Shanks, Whitebeard, and Kaido were considered Supernovas in their respective eras.

As I delve into the lives of these remarkable characters from One Piece, I can’t help but marvel at their extraordinary journeys and achievements. Each one of them has etched their names into the annals of piracy, leaving an indelible mark on the world they inhabit.

A talented pirate might be recognized as either a “Super Newcomer” or a “Stellar Explorer,” both titles bestowed upon individuals capturing global interest. These exceptional pirates are often rewarded with substantial bounties, symbolizing their superiority among their peers. In today’s world, numerous “Stellar Explorers” have risen to fame and achieved remarkable feats.

Due to limited knowledge about past eras, fans of One Piece aren’t well-informed about characters from that time. Consequently, it can be challenging to identify who the Supernovas were during that period. Therefore, we must gather and analyze available evidence to determine which characters of One Piece were the Super Rookies of their respective generations.

There are no age limits for becoming a Supernova.

7 Shanks

Became The Youngest Yonko

  • Devil Fruit: No

Amongst the Four Sea Kings, Shanks stands out. His pirating career began at a relatively young age. During those days, he was an apprentice sailor under the command of Gol D. Roger, who later handed him the iconic Straw Hat. Following Roger’s demise, Shanks embarked on his own recruitment drive to gather crew members for his pirate ship.

Shortly following the establishment of his crew, Shanks’s reputation started to soar. He engaged in fierce battles with Dracule Mihawk, who was known as the world’s best swordsman. Word quickly spread about their encounters. Given this, it’s likely that the World Government became aware of his victories and promptly placed a bounty on him exceeding 100 million berries.

6 Whitebeard

Gained The Reputation Of The Strongest Man In The World

  • Devil Fruit: Gura Gura no Mi

Previously, Whitebeard served aboard the Rocks Pirate ship. This pirate gang was commanded by Rocks D. Xebec, who valued power above all else. Thus, it’s plausible that Whitebeard had already established a reputation for himself prior to joining the crew.

Old Whitebeard was an enormous figure, boasting an incredibly potent Haki and a Devil Fruit ability. The synergy between these powers made him a formidable adversary. A pirate of such stature wouldn’t find it difficult to accumulate a staggering reward of more than 100 million berries. Upon joining the Rocks Pirates, his bounty would have grown exponentially fast.

5 Kaido

Almost Unbeatable In A 1v1

  • Devil Fruit: Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu

As a child, Kaido frequently encountered conflicts, which left a lasting impact on his power. While his might amazed those in his vicinity, it ultimately proved to be a double-edged sword. Throughout his life, Kaido was perceived as a formidable and costly weapon of destruction, and there was always an understanding that he could fetch a fortune – potentially hundreds of millions – if sold.

Following his escape from the World Government, Kaido eventually found himself on Hachinosu, embarking on a fresh journey with the Rocks Pirates. Given his exceptional combat abilities and association with the most infamous pirate group during that period, it’s evident that Kaido would have been classified as a Supernova – a rising star among pirates. Over time, his skills continued to grow, and eventually, he became one of the most distinguished pirates globally.

4 Marco

Became Whitebeard’s Right-Hand Man

  • Devil Fruit: Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix

Marco became a trainee with the Whitebeard Pirates. He’d previously ingested the Fruit of the Phoenix, a model called Tori Tori no Mi, and demonstrated some mastery over it. Age didn’t deter him; instead, he showed courage and was always eager for battle.

In the beginning, not many details are available about Marco’s youth, but it’s reasonable to infer that he gradually took on a significant role within the crew. As part of the Whitebeard Pirates, it might not be unexpected if his bounty surpassed the 100 million mark in just a few years at sea.

3 Dracule Mihawk

Constantly Hunted The Navy

  • Devil Fruit: No

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but marvel at the legendary prowess of Dracule Mihawk, who proudly bears the title of the world’s strongest swordsman. It’s fascinating to consider how he claimed this esteemed position early in life. Ever since then, Mihawk has been restless for a worthy opponent, one whose name echoes through the annals of his time.

Mihawk gained fame for chasing Marines, earning him the nickname “Marine Hunter.” To control his activities, Mihawk was given a position within the Shichibukai, which he took up. Although Mihawk doesn’t have his own pirate crew, he is regarded as one. Due to his actions against the Navy, Mihawk’s bounty would likely exceed 100 million berries.

2 Boa Hancock

The World Government Acknowledged Her After Just One Voyage

  • Devil Fruit: Mero Mero no Mi

Growing up wasn’t easy for me, Boa Hancock. Together with my sisters, we fell into the cruel hands of the Celestial Dragons. They forced us to consume Devil Fruits, turning us into a spectacle for the people of Marijoa. But then, miraculously, Fisher Tiger swooped in just in time and saved us from certain doom.

Following their return to Amazon Lily, they aligned with the Kuja Pirates. Not long after her initial voyage, Hancock, now captain, earned an impressive bounty of 80 million Berries. Due to her immense potential as a threat, the World Government saw fit to offer her a position among the Shichibukai. Accepting this offer led to the freezing of her bounty. Although her bounty did not surpass 100 million Berries, Hancock’s impact on the world made her a Supernova in every sense.

1 Gol D. Roger

Conquered The Grand Line

  • Devil Fruit: No

As a passionate One Piece fan, let me tell you that among all its characters, none captivate me more than Gol D. Roger. Through the series’ flashbacks, it becomes apparent that Roger embarked on his legendary voyage as an adult, bravely approaching Rayleigh with a daring proposition: to form a crew and transform the world together.

Given that Roger associated with several prominent pirates during his era, it wouldn’t have taken long for him to amass a substantial bounty on his head.
