The world of One Piece features a variety of pirates. Currently, the New World arc is unfolding, featuring a group of notable rookies known as the Worst Generation. Some members of this Worst Generation curry favor with the Four Emperors, while others forge ahead with self-belief. This article will focus on the captains among the Worst Generation pirates in One Piece.
What is the Worst Generation?
The Worst Generation refers to the pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million who gathered at Sabaody Archipelago just before the Battle of Marineford. While more than one leader may be recognized within a pirate crew, most are captains. It's said that a Pirate King may emerge from the Worst Generation, and this rookie has attracted worldwide attention.
Monkey D. Luffy: A Boy on His Own Path, Aiming to Become the Pirate King!
First up, the Worst Generation pirate, Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy is the protagonist of One Piece and captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. He's recognizable by his straw hat and is the son of Monkey D. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army. As a user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, he's been known to take down many of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and cause trouble all the time. He stands out among the Worst Generation, and his bounty has skyrocketed to 1.5 billion. He's a pirate who follows his own path despite making many enemies, even being targeted by Kaido and Big Mom. He's one of the Worst Generation, considered the closest to becoming one of the Four Emperors, and is undoubtedly the center of attention. He's also known for his bold actions, such as punching Celestial Dragons and picking fights to get his allies back from the World Government in order to stand up for what he believes is right.

His current bounty is already at 2,247,600,000 berries, far surpassing that of the Worst Generation. This power has been further strengthened by obtaining the power of the Gura Gura no Mi from Whitebeard during the Battle of Marineford. Over the course of two years, he has hunted down people with powers and is said to have acquired many other abilities. He is a special person who possesses the powers of both the Yami Yami no Mi and the Gura Gura no Mi, and is said to be the most dangerous pirate. Although he was originally a subordinate of Whitebeard, he killed his comrades to obtain the power of the Yami Yami no Mi.
