Unprecedented Battles: The Epic Warfare of the Straw Hat Pirates

Highlights

The Straw Hat Pirates have participated in several wars, big and small, throughout the One Piece story, with the goal of helping those in need and liberating others.

The Straw Hat Pirates have been involved in significant conflicts and emerged victorious, such as the Arabasta Civil War, Skypiea War on Upper Yard, Enies Lobby War, Paramount War, and War of Wano. Currently, they are facing a siege from the Marines, including high-ranking officials, in the ongoing Egghead War, which is set to be a crucial event in Luffy's journey as a Yonko of the Sea.

The One Piece universe is filled with various factions vying for dominance, resulting in numerous wars throughout the story. Unsurprisingly, the Straw Hat Pirates have played a central role in many of these conflicts, actively participating to achieve their ultimate goal of freeing the oppressed and supporting their friends. Their involvement in these wars has led to the liberation of countless individuals. Some conflicts may have been on a smaller scale, while others have escalated to the point of jeopardizing entire nations.

6 Arabasta Civil War

The first war witnessed by One Piece fans was the Arabasta Civil War, a pivotal event in the Arabasta Saga that unfolded throughout the Straw Hats' expedition in the Grand Line. From the moment they encountered Vivi, the crew became aware of Arabasta's dire circumstances as the country suffered under its own population's destruction.

Operating behind the scenes, the mastermind orchestrating this chaos was none other than Crocodile, the leader of Baroque Works. Determined to aid Vivi, the Straw Hat Pirates joined forces and set sail for Arabasta. This conflict engaged 400,000 individuals battling against the ruling monarch, masterfully illustrated by Oda, and proved to be a captivating spectacle. The Straw Hat pirates played a vital role, ultimately crushing Baroque Works and unveiling Crocodile's deceptive nature. With Crocodile's defeat, Arabasta, which had endured prolonged drought, finally received abundant rainfall, bringing an end to all hostilities.

5 Skypiea War On Upper Yard

After sailing to Skypiea, the Straw Hat Pirates found themselves entangled in yet another conflict. The heart of the issue lay in the sacred Upper Yard, a piece of land fiercely disputed by three factions. The Shandora people claimed rightful ownership, while the Skypieans held it as a sacred place. Enel's Army, on the other hand, remained indifferent to the land's significance, desiring only its destruction.

Undeterred by the complexity of the situation, the Straw Hat Pirates ventured through the Upper Yard, engaging in battle with all factions simultaneously. Ultimately, it was Luffy who emerged victorious, defeating Enel and preventing the complete annihilation of Skypiea. Luffy's heroic acts earned him immense respect and admiration, prompting the straw hat pirates to set sail once again for the Blue Sea.

4 Enies Lobby War Against The Government

The Straw Hat Pirates engaged in another battle, this time against the World Government in Enies Lobby, with the sole intention of rescuing Robin. They faced off against numerous Marines and high-ranking officials of the World Government, but their most formidable opponents were the CP9 members.

Remarkably, almost every member of the Straw Hat Pirates triumphed over their formidable adversaries. Additionally, the crew also confronted a formidable Buster Call towards the end of the battle, but Merry arrived just in time to save them. With both Robin and Franky rescued, the crew sailed back to Water 7, having devastated the World Government's forces on that fateful day.

3 Paramount War (Only Luffy)

The Paramount War, fought in the One Piece series prior to the timeskip, was the largest conflict in the series. However, not all members of the Straw Hat Pirates were able to participate. As the captain, Luffy represented the entire crew. Luffy fought alongside allies he made in Impel Down in an attempt to rescue his brother, Ace.

Ultimately, Luffy succeeded in saving Ace's life, but Ace, without hesitation, sacrificed himself to save Luffy. This failure showcased Luffy's perceived weakness in protecting those dear to him. The war, with its immense scale, resulted in the deaths of both Ace and Whitebeard. Shanks, an influential character, played a pivotal role in ending the war. This event also marked the beginning of the second part of the story and triggered a two-year timeskip.

2 The War Of Wano

The Wano arc in One Piece showcased one of the greatest wars in the series. After 20 years of suffering, Luffy joined forces with the samurai and the Mink Tribe to liberate the land of Wano and defeat Kaido, the Emperor of the Sea. Additional powerful allies, including Big Mom, Law, and Kid, bolstered their ranks. In an epic showdown, Luffy emerged as the hero, shouldering the weight of the entire country and ultimately crushing Kaido. The Battle of 10,000 versus 30,000 resulted in an unexpected victory for the underdogs.

1 Egghead War

The ongoing war in One Piece known as the Egghead War involves the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk being besieged by the Marines in Egghead. Surrounding Egghead Island are 100 marine ships housing 30,000 marine soldiers, including nine Vice Admirals and Marine Admiral Kizaru. Among the participants is one of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. This war marks an important challenge for Luffy as he takes on the role of a Yonko of the Sea. Excitement surrounds this war as it sets the stage for the highly anticipated Egghead Incident. Fans can only hope it lives up to their expectations.
