I started watching One Piece a bit over a month ago and finished the Anime and caught up to the Manga a couple days ago. I originally tried it out several times but was never able to get into it until I realized the reason I couldn't get into it was due to the art (which admittedly has improved a great deal). That knowledge enabled me to look past the art and now One Piece is my third favorite Anime of all time. Aside from that I guess I will post my top 25 favorite characters (my username is a combination of my top four).
1. Zoro.
2. Captain Shanks.
3. Portgas D. Ace.
4. Mihawk.
5. Luffy.
6. Captain Eustass Kidd.
7. Captain Trafalgar Law.
8. Commodore Smoker.
9. Admiral Aokji.
10. Vice Admiral Garp.
11. Marco.
12. Benn Beckman.
13. Yasopp.
14. Nami.
15. Chopper.
16. Brooks.
17. Sanji.
18. Usopp.
19. Tashigi.
20. Boa Hancock.
