Summary
The world ofOne Pieceis filled with all kinds of creatures and races. Oda has put a lot of effort into creating an expansive world. Each race has a standout quality that separates them from each other. The same goes for creatures like Sea Kings and the other kinds of flora and fauna.
Any character who belongs to a specific race is unique, but there are some individuals who have a special lineage. These characters either have special ancestral roots or they belong to a specific race that either went extinct or is endangered. Keeping that in mind, here are all the One Piece characters who belong to a special lineage.
The list includes those characters whose lineage has been confirmed to be unique, or implied to have special ancestry.
5Nefertari Vivi
The Great Descendant Of Lily
Nefertari Vivi is the daughter of the late King Nefertari Cobra. She might be young, but she has already proven herself to be an excellent leader who is both compassionate and fearless. Vivi teamed up with the Straw Hat Pirates to rescue Alabasta from the clutches of Crocodile and the Baroque Works.
At the time, Vivi seemed like just another princess, but the events that took place inside the throne room of Pangea Castle changed everything. It has been confirmed that she is the descendant of Nefertari Lily, who used to be the queen of Alabastabefore the Void Century. Lily was responsible for releasing Poneglyphs into the world, which was considered a major sin by the other 19 rulers. It’s likely that Lily was killed so that she wouldn’t disclose any other secret to the rest of the world. As her descendant, it is quite obvious that Vivi belongs to a special lineage. Another indicator of Vivi being a special person is that Imu has been targeting her for quite a while.
4Monkey D. Luffy
The One Who Will Change The World
Monkey D. Luffy is the main protagonist of One Piece. While he looks like an ordinary boy, the truth is drastically different. Luffy is a member of the Monkey D. family. So far, all the members of this particular family have had a drastic impact on the entire world. His grandfather turned the Marines into a force to be reckoned with, while his father started the Revolutionary Army.
If these indicators aren’t enough, one must rememberthat the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nikachose Luffy to be its user. It has been stated many times that Zoan-type Devil Fruits have a will of their own. Due to this reason, it is extremely risky to awaken them, as the will of the Devil Fruit might take over the person’s mind. So, if a Devil Fruit wielded by the great Joy Boy chose Luffy, there is no doubt that he is a special person.
3Bartholomew Kuma
Last Surviving Buccaneer In One Piece
Bartholomew Kuma is a former Warlord of the Sea. Before siding with the World Government, Kuma used to be a slave of the Celestial Dragons. However, he managed to escape andultimately joined the Revolutionary Army, where he was among the top officers. This continued until he had to leave the organization to find a cure for the Sapphire Scale Disease. While Kuma did find a cure, the Five Elders made sure that he was put over a barrel for it.
The World Government, especially the Five Elders, despised Kuma because he belonged to the Buccaneer race. According to the available information, the race had committed a major transgression against the World Government for which they were thoroughly punished. The World Government went out of its way to execute Buccaneers wherever it found them.
2King
Only Living Lunarian In One Piece
King is the right-hand man of Kaido. He is an elite fighter who has eaten the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon, anAncient Zoan-type Devil Fruit. It granted King the ability to fly at incredible speeds. The Devil Fruit also bolstered his physical attributes, making it extremely difficult to beat him in combat.
While King does have a unique Devil Fruit, what makes him truly special is his lineage. He is the only surviving Lunarian, a race that was presumed to have gone extinct many, many years ago. His Lunarian Lineage Factor granted him extraordinary physical abilities such as heightened resilience, stamina, and strength. He also has wings that allow him to fly. Furthermore, he has flames on his back, which he could use to burn an individual.
1Blackbeard
Possible Ties To Rocks D. Xebec
Marshall D. Teach, better known as Blackbeard, is the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. He rose to the top of the ranks in next to no time. Blackbeard’s success has been down to his intelligence. Unlike most pirates who act first and think later, Blackbeard thoroughly plans his next move before acting on it. This strategy has earned him an incredible amount of fame, which is why he hasn’t ditched it.
In the Egghead Arc, it was revealed that Blackbeard belongs to a special lineage. It has been teased multiple times that he possesses a special body, which is why he was able to eat more than one Devil Fruit without any consequences. There is definitely a chance that Blackbeard could be the sole surviving member of an extinct race, but it is also possible that he just might be the descendant of a very famous person. Many fan theories tie Blackbeard to being the son of Rocks D. Xebec or at least related to him in one way or another.
