One Piece is a story about a boy named Monkey D. Luffy who eats the Gomu Gomu no Mi and becomes a rubber man, and goes on adventures with many friends. In the world of One Piece, the theme is pirates, so various characters appear, and each pirate crew has people with various roles. In addition, even among fighters, there are enemies who fight with various tactics, such as swordsmen and martial artists. So, this time, we will focus on snipers who mainly use guns among the characters that appear in One Piece. Although there are only a few, let's take a look at the strongest characters.
What is a sniper
Speaking of snipers, as the name suggests, they are a position that is good at sniping. They are particularly rare among pirate crews, and can be said to be a technical position. Also, there are many enemy characters who use guns as weapons even if they are not called snipers. Speaking of snipers in One Piece, Usopp is actually a surprisingly large character. So, this time, let's take a look at the characters who are good at throwing things with their guns or abilities, or shooting things with guns or bows, in a ranking format.
Sniper Ranking #10 Genbou
First, the first sniper I'd like to introduce is Genbou. He's a supporting character, so some of you may not remember him. Genbou is one of the Shandorian warriors who lives in Skypiea. He is characterized by his large body and chef-like hat, and uses a bazooka as a weapon. He is also good friends with Wiper and holds a senior position. He is also a character who uses precious iron cannonballs on Sky Island, and is a power type. He does not play a very prominent role in the original work, and he dropped out of the survival game halfway through, so he is ranked 10th.
Bunner Ranking 9th Place Braham
The next sniper who appears in One Piece is Braham. Braham is also a Shandorian warrior who lives in Skypiea. He uses a flash gun, a gun that emits light when shot. In the story, he hits Zoro with a single blow, and he is one of the strongest opponents because he makes Zoro struggle. Braham is a silent character and always wears a knitted cap. He also uses the dials on his feet to move freely in the air while attacking. He is a rare user of two pistols in One Piece.
Sniper Ranking #8: Vander Decken IX
8th place in the sniper ranking is Vander Decken IX. Vander Decken IX is a cat shark fishman and has the ability of the Mato Mato no Mi. The ability of the Mato Mato no Mi allows him to hit anything he has touched with his hand. If something blocks his ability, it will be canceled, but he is ranked because of his shooting ability. He can throw anything, no matter how big it is, so he is powerful. However, despite being a fishman, he has many weaknesses because he cannot swim. In the story, he not only throws axes and swords at Princess Shirahoshi, but also flies the giant ship Noah.
Sniper Ranking #7 Usopp
Usopp is also one of the strong sniper characters, and is a representative sniper in One Piece. He belongs to the Straw Hat Pirates and is also famous as Sogeking. He has a long nose and shaggy hair, and is a timid character. His father is Yasopp of the Red Pirates, so he has a knack for sniping and is skilled at sniping enemies no matter how far away they are. Usopp fights using a variety of tools in addition to his sniping skills. He is usually unreliable and reluctant to fight, but he has a high success rate when it really counts. After two years of training, he has acquired a new technique called Pop Green. This allows him to use seeds as sniper bullets to activate abilities that suit the situation. He has a wide variety of seeds, from aggressive ones to ones that confuse enemies and have many ways to interfere. His bounty has been gradually increasing, and he is a skilled player who is active in pinpoint situations when it matters most for the Straw Hat Pirates. He never uses a gun, but mainly uses a slingshot. However, he also boasts a high success rate as a sniper with ship's cannons.
Sniper Ranking No. 6 Curiel
The sixth place in the sniper ranking is Curiel. Curiel is a large man who is the captain of the 10th division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Curiel is a sniper who uses all kinds of heavy weapons, and although he is not a very impressive character, he was active in the Battle of Impel Down. During the war, he faced off against Gecko Moria and the Seven Warlords, and he is also a captain in the Whitebeard Pirates, so we can see how strong he is. He is a specialist who wiped out the navy with the overwhelming firepower of his heavy weapons. Unfortunately, there are not many images, so I can't find any.
Sniper Ranking No. 5 Izou
Izou is also one of the snipers of the Whitebeard Pirates. Izou is the captain of the 11th division of the Whitebeard Pirates and fights with a handgun. He first appeared at the Battle of Marineford, wearing a kimono. He is likely a woman because he is wearing a kimono and lipstick, and is likely to have a strict and tomboyish personality. He also supports Luffy in rescuing Ace.
Sniper Ranking #4 Van Auger
The next sniper we will introduce is Van Auger. Van Auger is a sniper in the Blackbeard Pirates. He is a pirate wearing glasses, nicknamed "Sound Overload", and is polite but quick to fight. He boasts high technical skills, such as firing his gun immediately in the battle with Ace and sniping a seagull from far away. He also cares about fate and fortune, and has the philosophy of leaving everything to fate. He is also an early member of the Blackbeard Pirates, and is still a character with many mysteries.
Sniper Ranking No. 3 Lucky Roo
The third place in the sniper ranking is Lucky Roo. Lucky Roo is a member of the Red Hair Pirates and a large-bodied pirate. He is a fat guy who eats a lot and is also the mood maker of the Red Hair Pirates. He fights with a pistol as his weapon and is the first to attack the bandits. He is also one of the executives of the Red Hair Pirates, so there are many mysteries surrounding him, but he is ranked third because he is a very capable pirate.
Sniper Ranking 2nd Place: Yasopp
The next sniper is also a pirate of the Red Hair Pirates, Yasopp. Yasopp is the father of Usopp of the Straw Hat Pirates. He has dreadlocks and fights with a gun. Although there are no battle scenes, his sniping skills are said to be 100% accurate. As proof of this, there is an anecdote that he can shoot a bullet between the eyebrows of an ant, which makes him highly regarded. It can be inferred that Usopp's sniping skills are inherited from Yasopp, so there is no doubt that he is a skilled marksman.
Sniper Ranking No. 1: Ben Bookman
The last sniper we will introduce is Ben Bookman. Ben Bookman is also a member of the Red Hair Pirates and serves as the vice captain. He mainly uses guns as his weapon, and he stopped Kizaru during the Battle of Marineford. Since he can hold back Kizaru with just a gun, he is definitely a Haki user and may have some kind of special ability. There are almost no battle scenes, so it is unclear how he fights, but he is definitely strong. He is also listed as a smart character in the work.
【One Piece】Top 10 ranking of sniper strengths for each pirate crew
This time, we introduced snipers in One Piece. Snipers are few in number and often play a dull role. However, it is because they are snipers that they can take down enemies from a distance and often play an active role in important situations. Usopp is one of the main characters in One Piece, and as he grows stronger day by day, we can look forward to seeing new sniper enemies and Usopp's exploits in the future.
