One Piece: All Known Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits
Mythical Zoan devil fruits are the strongest type in One Piece, but few have been revealed. Here's what we know about the ones we've seen so far.
Even the top wigs have a hard time finding a connection within the Underworld. The people involved with the Underworld have connections with the media tycoons, merchants, and even mercenaries. Over the course of the series, fans have had the opportunity to see many One Piece characters that are affiliated with the Underworld.
The characters ranked on the basis of their influence in the Underworld.
7 Rob Lucci
A CP0 Agent With Strong Underworld Connections
Rob Lucci is currently a member of CP0, the strongest Cipher Pol under the command of the World Government. Lucci is an ardent believer in Dark Justice, and, as a result, he doesn't believe in forgiveness or second chances.
Rob Lucci has been working with Cipher Pols for his entire life. All these organizations operate in secret, and they have access to all kinds of Intel. So, it's hardly surprising that Lucci is aware of the Underworld. In fact, he has become a broker, so he knows many high-profile people.
6 Kaido
Bought Many Illegal Items From Brokers
Kaido was known as the strongest creature in the world, which is why everyone tried to stay away from him. His presence alone could cause trepidation, and this thing gave him a massive advantage over his foes.
One Piece: Every Fight In Wano
The land of Wano served as the battleground for some of the most memorable fights in One Piece.
Kaido is among the few One Piece characters who can use the advanced versions of all three types of Haki. Moreover, he had access to the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. The Devil Fruit enabled him to transform into a dragon that could easily cover the skies over Kuri. Kaido strongly believed that waging war was the right thing to do as it gave people an opportunity to be equal. Before starting a war on a large scale, Kaido dealt with Doflamingo, who provided him with artificial Devil Fruits, which were used on the lower-ranked members of the Beasts Pirates.
5 Crocodile
Had Strong With The Underworld
Crocodile was the main antagonist of the Alabasta arc. He was motivated by his desire to acquire more power, which is why he decided to throw Alabasta into turmoil so that finding the Ponegylph would be easy.
Crocodile ate the Suna Suna no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, giving him the power to control sand at will. He can use the Devil Fruit to drain the moisture from the body of a person, leaving them severely dehydrated. Prior to the foundation of the Cross Guild, Crocodile was involved in dealings with the Underworld.
4 Mother Carmel
A Broker Who Was Involved With Marines And Cipher Pol
Mother Carmel was introduced as a part of Big Mom's backstory. She met the young Linlin, who was abandoned by her parents. At first glance, it seemed that Mother Carmel was a kind and caring woman, but the reality was that she was bereft of both these things.
One Piece: 7 Strongest Characters Who Never Won A Fight
For all their superiority, these One Piece characters couldn't win a single fight.
Mother Carmel was an Underworld broker who worked with the World Government. Her job was to find promising individuals and sell them to the World Government and other organizations for a ludicrous amount of money. If Linlin hadn't gone on a rampage, it is very likely that Carmel would have sold her to the Marines, and eventually, the young girl would have become the Fleet Admiral.
3 Morgans
The Man Who Controls The Papers
Morgans is known for his role as the president of the World Economy News Paper. His epithet is Big News, which is befitting of his personality as he is the first person to break major news to the entire world. Morgans is a rather mysterious character, as he always keeps his Devil Fruit form active. Due to this reason, his real identity is still a complete mystery.
Aside from his role as the president of the World Economy News Paper, Morgans is also an Underworld emperor. This means that he holds a great deal of authority within the syndicate. He has multiple connections, which would explain how he is able to obtain top secret information so easily.
2 Big Mom
Well-Known Figure In The Underworld
Big Mom was the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. She ruled as the Queen of Totto Land, and her goal was to create a kingdom where all races could exist in harmony without fearing prosecution.
Big Mom was a powerful individual who could use Haki at the highest level. She also possessed the Soru Soru no Mi, a Devil Fruit that granted complete dominion over souls. While she was primarily a pirate, she did not hesitate to dabble in the affairs of the Underworld. This was evident from her Tea Party, which included many prominent members of the Underworld.
1 Donquixote Doflamingo
The Most Famous Broker Within The Underworld
Donquixote Doflamingo is, without a doubt, one of the best One Piece villains. While he was introduced before the timeskip, he didn't get the opportunity to show off his full powers until the Dressrosa arc. Most people knew him as the king of Dressrosa, but he was a much more complicated individual.
Doflamingo was a famous Underworld broker who went by the name of Joker. As a broker, it was his job to procure different items that his clients needed. Most of his dealings were with Kaido, who wanted artificial Devil Fruits for his army. Given his influence in the Underworld, it is likely that Doflamingo had other famous clients.
