10th : Chopper
Love how he's as stupid as luffy, but I care the less.
9th : Franky
He's one of the latest to join so I care a bit less, plus he was a total jerk when he was introduced and the feeling is still lingering.
Also, he's super and all but his new hairstyles repel me, with his new post-timeskip look, he's now more of a monster than Chopper…
8th : Brook
Loved the fact that the crew finally got a musician but... LAABBBBOOOOONNNNN.
7th : Jimbei
Like what I'm seeing but don't care much either, yet.
And now the hard part begins
6th : Luffy
AWESOME protagonist, I mean his carefree attitude to pirating and his hillarious powers are what hooked me up in the first place.
5th : Sanji
As a character he's pretty pathetic, but also pretty admirable...
But the real reason I love him is to see him suffer. I just love see him get his spirit crushed : the posters, the constant mockery, the okama hell, the nosebleeds, petrification. Sanji always gets the short end of the stick and all that for our amusement.
Also, though I'm not sure if he's still in the monster trio or if he was replaced by the door, remember that he's primarly a cook. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of his new recipies from okama-land and I am actually pretty psyched about those.
4th : Zoro
His back story is touching and he's got real determination, he won't stop until he's the best.
Even though he acts though, he's really a nice person that you'd like to have as a friend, dependable.
Also, i never get tired of his getting lost antics and his rivalry with sanji.
3rd : Robin
She was perhaps the strawhat who had it the roughest, to see her being able to trust again is heartwarming.
Even, before W7 she was one of my favorite with her detached facade and black humor.
2nd : Nami
Arlong park arc was one of my favorite, the story was so light up to now but then...
She had such an heavy weight upon her shoulders, since she was a kid nonetheless. Never asking anyone for help, she tried to save her sister and her friends from her village on her own... But even though she was having a rough time, she didn't try to involve the rest of the crew until the very end.
Like Robin, the fact that she can now smile is heartwarming.
Plus, I love her as a character. She is a free woman who doesn't give a crap about conventions and she is the real boss of the ship.
As a navigator, she rocks so even though she's not the strongest in a fight, she's still probably the most usefull member of the crew.
1st : Usopp
He's the character that always keep getting awesomer.
Even if he's relatively weak, he still does his part. He's a normal guy amongst monsters and geniuses, and he still keeps up. For him, the road is long.
Also, I like that he's pretty cocky and arrogant, even when he has trouble standing up from fear. He's a coward, but who cares, he's gonna stand up when it matters.
Most of his fights are pretty funny, notably, Chew, Miss Merry-Chistmas and Peronna where amongst my favorite fights. Plus, he's a pretty damn good shot.
The Sogeking incident was one of the high points of the series for me. One piece is about laughs, and Usopp and Sanji are the ones who deliver the most for me.
