One Piece Characters Who Love To Fight

Summary

• Characters like Eustass Kidd and Zoro love fighting to prove their strength and skills.
• Big Mom and Jesus Burgess are ruthless in battle and enjoy the thrill of combat.
• Vista and Gol D. Roger seek out strong opponents in order to push their abilities to the limit.

Considering that One Piece is a shonen battle series, it makes sense that it would contain a ton of intense fights, but not everyone in this immensely popular series is too fond of throwing down. In fact, there are plenty of pacifists seen throughout the story who would rather avoid fighting at all if possible, so it’s lucky for them that there also happens to be a plentiful selection of brawlers to take their place, with each of them loving nothing more than going head-to-head in combat.

While some of these characters enjoy fighting due to their own sadistic and violent mindset, others simply want to hone their skills, making them eager to test their might against anyone who will face them. These One Piece characters are some of the most formidable combatants in the series, whose passion for growing stronger has made them addicted to fighting anyone who even looks at them sideways.

Eustass Kid

Kid Prefers Letting His Mechanical Fist Do The Talking For Him

• First Appearance: Episode 392

When the Worst Generation is first introduced during the Sabaody arc, it’s made clear right from the get-go that Kid is the most violent and vicious of the bunch. The truth is, Kidd is an incredibly cruel captain who takes sick pleasure in belittling his enemies, meaning that he will always dive head-first into a fight if anyone tries to mock him or his crew.

However, Kid’s obsession with conflict has also proven to be one of his biggest flaws. This is evident when he tries to take down Shanks, only to be utterly humiliated by the Yonko and left with a hideous scar. Kid seems to have been cooling off a little as the story has gone on, but he’s still always more than up for throwing hands if he spots an opportunity.

Ideo

This Boxer Will Throw Down With Anyone Who Thinks They Can Survive His Punches

• First Appearance: Episode 633

Despite only having a brief amount of screen time during the Dressrosa arc, Ideo manages to showcae exactly why he’s so feared among the pirate world during the Colosseum tournament. Ideo is a boxer who entered the competition to get his hands on the Mera Mera no Mi, and while he didn’t come out the victor in the end, it was clear that he was having a ton of fun pummeling his opponents into the ground.

As a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Ideo has been given the opportunity to practice his punches against a wide array of unique enemies. He might not always fight for the right reasons, but Ideo still enjoys beating people up nonetheless whenever the opportunity arises.

Zoro

To Become The World’s Greatest Swordsman, Zoro Will Challenge Anyone To Prove His Strength

• First Appearance: Episode 1

When Zoro made his promise to Mihawk that he would become the greatest swordsman the world has ever seen, he would soon after realize that this would require going up against anyone and everyone who wields a sword. As a result, Zoro will always jump at the chance to square off against sword users, as shown when he faces off against Ryuma, for example.

With that being said, he’s also always ready to unleash his blades on enemies who don’t even wield swords; so long as they give Zoro a chance to flex his new techniques and abilities, a fight is always seen as worthwhile. Until Zoro faced off against Kaido, a lot of his post-timeskip fights had been fairly easy for him, but they all also allowed him to show off everything he learned while training with Mihawk.

Big Mom

Big Mom May Seem Loving On The Surface, But She Still Enjoys Getting Stuck Into A Brutal Fight Every Now And Again

• First Appearance: Episode 571

Looks can certainly be deceiving. Though Big Mom may look like a sweet old lady upon first glance, her time in the Rocks has made her a vicious pirate who seems to love getting caught up in fights. When it comes to raw strength, there’s barely anyone in the One Piece world who can match her.

Big Mom can be seen having a merry time while holding off Luffy’s attacks during the Whole Cake Island arc, and when facing off against Kidd and Law, she comments that it’s the first time she’s felt such a thrill in a while during their confrontation. She may not be all that happy on an empty stomach, but when her appetite is quenched, Big Mom loves being part of a fight, since she never has any doubts about winning.

4

Vista

A Loyal Member Of Whitebeard’s Crew Who Will Happily Cross Swords With Anyone Who Can Make Him Stronger

• First Appearance: Episode 473

Vista was first seen during the Marineford Arc, where he showed a great interest in clashing swords with the mighty Mihawk. Though Vista isn’t actually a very prevalent character within the story, this fight suggests that he’s a man who is eager to challenge anyone who also happens to carry a sword around with them so he can compare his strength to theirs.

Whether he too dreams of one day being the world’s greatest swordsman like Zoro is unclear, but it’s still heavily suggested that he’s a pirate who thoroughly enjoys pushing an opponent to their limit with his exceptional swordplay.

3

Jesus Burgess

Blackbeard’s Right-Hand Man Loves Throwing His Weight Around

• First Appearance: Episode 146

Considering that Jesus Burgess is a member of Blackbeard’s crew, there was never going to be any chance that he would decide to use his underlying strength for the sake of good. Instead, Burgess will pummel anyone who is considered an enemy of the Blackbeard pirates, and as shown during the Dressrosa arc, he’s capable of taking down multiple people at once, only to come out of the conflict with a joyful expression on his face.

Simply put, Jesus is a monster who is happy to tear apart anyone who gets on his or Blackbeard’s bad side. Needless to say, his enormous frame tends to give Burgess a massive advantage over his opponents, making him a truly dangerous pirate as a result.

2

Charlotte Cracker

Cracker Enjoys Mocking And Belittling His Opponents While Smothering Them With Biscuit Soldiers

• First Appearance: Episode 796

Almost immediately after Luffy and Nami enter the Whole Cake Island, they are confronted by one of Big Mom’s many children: Charlotte Cracker. Cracker’s Bisu Bisu no Mi fruit allows the formidable crew member to create and manipulate biscuits, which he uses in his fight against Luffy to swarm him with biscuit soldiers.

During the fight, Cracker is shown to be having an unhealthy amount of fun partaking in the chaos, constantly mocking Luffy while stroking his own ego in the process. Fans can assume that Cracker’s love of tearing people apart with his Devil Fruit is one of his most beloved hobbies because of how much he enjoys going up against Luffy. That is until the tables are inevitably turned on him.

Gol D. Roger

Made It No Secret That He’s A Fan Of Intense Fights

• First Appearance: Episode 1

Roger isn’t the kind of pirate who would go around causing fights wherever possible just for the sake of it. Instead, he simply seemed to enjoy clashing swords with those who he knew would give him a real test of strength, such as Whitebeard, for example. The fact that Roger can partake in an intense duel with Whitebeard, only to share a drink with him moments after, showcases just how casual and common these fights really are for him.

This makes sense considering Roger’s absurd strength, yet despite this, he still gladly challenges anyone who dares to step up to him in order to see if they can even leave a mark on the legendary pirate. Every time Roger is involved in a chaotic fight, he’s always shown to have a huge smile on his face, highlighting just how much he truly loves the thrill of battle.
