One Piece is WAY Funnier than You Think
Starting as a humble one-shot called Romance Dawn, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is now firmly established as a cornerstone of both the manga and anime industries. Ever since debuting in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, the pirate-themed manga has produced more than 1100 chapters and 100 volumes, and Oda is not quite done yet. Sure, One Piece’s Straw Hats will eventually be part of history, but there is still a way to go before the Thousand Sunny sails into the sunset.

Starting in 1999, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe found themselves starring in a Toei anime adaptation, one that had its 1000th episode in 2021. One Piece is so massive that a new animated series was announced in 2023, despite the original being nowhere near complete. Even more amazingly, Oda’s masterpiece spawned a live-action Netflix series that, somehow, defied expectations and managed to be pretty good. There are even a couple of decent One Piece games, although the franchise has not embraced this medium as successfully as Naruto or Dragon Ball​​​​​​.

The manga, anime, live-action series, and games have one major thing in common: lovable characters. The Straw Hats are iconic as individuals and a unit, and they will be remembered long after Oda puts down his pen. Consequently, fans might want a breakdown of basic information regarding these pirates. They might wish to know how old is Luffy? How tall is Zoro ? Or, when are the birthdays of One Piece’s main characters?

Updated August 28, 2024 by Mark Sammut: The section dedicated to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet has been expanded to include more information about every crew’s captain.

At this point in One Piece, it seems unlikely that the Straw Hats will welcome a new member into the crew, although there is always a chance that Eiichiro Oda will surprise readers. Still, the current lineup could very well be the final one; therefore, for easy access, the Straw Hats’ personal information has been included in the following table.

For the characters’ ages and heights, both the pre and post-timeskip information are provided. The first bullet point covers the former while the second point relates to the latter. Also, the height’s feet and inches data have been rounded up. Also, click on a character’s name to go directly to their section.

One Piece’s protagonist and the Straw Hats’ charismatic leader, Monkey D. Luffy is a manga and anime icon by this point. With a complex backstory that slowly reveals itself over hundreds of episodes, Luffy’s goofy personality hides a revolutionary figure who can inspire change in not only others but also entire kingdoms.

A force of nature, Straw Hat simply has this innate ability to draw people to him, captivating or infuriating them with his staunch values that pursue freedom and autonomy above everything else. Sure, Luffy regularly states that his goal is to find the One Piece, but that is simply a means to an end. He is driven solely by a desire for adventure, and he has no interest in treasure beyond what it represents.

As a captain, Luffy can be somewhat frustrating, in the sense that he regularly makes decisions that drop his crew in hot water. Due to having a straightforward mentality, a blunt tone, and bouts of just plain stupidity, Luffy’s intelligence can be underestim
