to 4 One Piece villains that surpassed their expectations
Rob Lucci

Rob Lucci wasn't playing around when he fought against Luffy in the Enies Lobby. The Straw Hat spent most of the fight on the receiving end of Lucci's attacks. He is the strongest member in CP9 history, thanks to his superhuman strength and mastery of martial arts. The man has developed such a reputation for his fighting skills that some Marines believed he could take on a Buster Call.

Luffy only won that fight because he desperately wanted to save Nico Robin, whose life was on the line. Many One Piece fans look back at Lucci very fondly since he took Luffy to his absolute limit.

Donquixote Doflamingo

Doflamingo has always been a popular character in the One Piece community, thanks to his colorful design and interesting Devil Fruit. His popularity completely blew up in the Dressrosa arc, where he finally got his chance to shine.

His tragic backstory does explain his actions, but it doesn't excuse them. After losing his World Noble privilege at a young age, Doflamingo began a life of a dangerous criminal. This is someone who brutally took out his own family members because he felt slighted by them.

The Heavenly Yaksha eventually took over the Dressrosa kingdom, ruling it with an iron fist. In order to free the citizens, Luffy had to fight him with everything he had. Doflamingo forced the Straw Hat to resort to his new Gear Fourth technique, which gave him a hard-fought victory.

Charlotte Katakuri

Whole Cake Island picked up the pace with the introduction of the Sweet Commander. In many ways, Katakuri is a mirror counterpart to Luffy. Most of his attacks directly copy the Straw Hats, but much bigger and stronger.

Ever since the One Piece timeskip began, Katakuri has given Luffy one of his hardest challenges yet, despite the latter using his Gear Fourth form. The Straw Hat desperately needed to win this fight. Otherwise, he stood no chance against the Emperors down the line.

Katakuri is unlike most One Piece villains in that he grows to respect Luffy as a fighter. After his eventual defeat, he wishes the Straw Hat good luck in defeating his mother. Many One Piece fans have greatly appreciated his change of attitude.

Kaido

The world's strongest creature has only lost seven times in his lifetime. He proves to be Luffy's biggest obstacle towards becoming the Pirate King.

Kaido has taken so much punishment during the Onigashima Raid, yet he still keeps on fighting. Most One Piece characters would be dead if they took several attacks from the Red Scabbards and the Supernovas.

Kaido has truly earned his place as the most formidable fighter in the series. He is definitely worth the hype in One Piece.
