Wealth, Fame, Power.

Three things mentioned in the series which are tightly connected together and a cause of the Great Pirate Era.

In this blog, let’s take a look at the 5 potentially wealthiest characters in the One Piece world to see where all the wealth is being held.

At the end, I will also rank all the Straw Hats by how much money I think each one has on hand.

#5

Blackbeard

As the embodiment of a true classic pirate, Blackbeard and his crew must have stolen a lot of gold and treasure during their raids. His rule as a Yonko over many territories and crews must bring him a lot of riches. I have him as #5 but it may be Big Mom or Kaido too since they have so many years on him. Overall, I’d say he’s a solid choice for 5th place.

#4

Shogun Orochi

A corrupted ruler of his own private land, untaxed by the World Government. We can assume his greed knows no bounds and he keeps most of the wealth to himself, giving part to Kaido his ally. Orochi takes his spot as 4th on my list.

#3

Prince Loki and Royals of Elbaf

Home to the world’s “strongest army”, Elbaf must contain a lot of wealth along with a rich history. I could see it easily being one of the nations with the most wealth.

#2

Saint Charloss and other Celestial Dragons

Being the descendants of the original creators of the WG, the Celestial Dragons can have whatever they desire. And with that comes wealth. My dad gave me a small loan of 500 million berries, gimme MA MERMAID! 

#1

Im

It only makes sense that the ultimate ruler of the WG/Gorosei/CD would be the wealthiest character in the series. Although we know basically nothing about Im, it is safe to safe they are not at all poor and is probably rich AF.

Honorable mention:

Tesoro owned 20% of all wealth in the OP world. That alone should make him first in wealth. However he is a movie character so is ultimately non canon.

Straw Hat wealth ranked (who has/keeps/carries the most money in the crew)

1. Nami

2. Robin

3. Franky

4. Sanji

5. Chopper

6. Brook

7. Usopp

8. Jinbe

9. Zoro/Luffy

I hope you enjoyed this and like the post to let me know. There wasn’t a whole lot of effort and I could have written more but I really didn’t know what to say other than “cmon he’s rich”.
