The anime has an infamous pacing problem and is one ofthe longest-running anime of all time.
This can already be intimidating for new fans.
While many characters inOne Piecehave unrealistic builds, the women in particular lack diversity in terms of their appearances.
In fact,there would be noOne Piecewithout its female characters.
Meanwhile, Robin joins the crew later on after the events of Alabasta.
They are also vital members of the crew.
They’re also amongthe most intelligent members of the main One Piece cast.
Do not underestimate these princesses, though.
They each have their own desires, often aspiring for the greater good of their countries.
Plus,they are not a bunch of damsels in distresswaiting for someone to save them.
They play active roles alongside the Straw Hats while also emphasizing the importance of asking for help.
Boa Hancock, for instance, is a Warlord – a pirate initially thought to be an antagonist.
However, she proves to be one of Luffy’s biggest allies.
Along with that, she has a clear dream, one motivated by her tragic backstory.
While tragic, that doesn’t take away from her villainous ways.
They’re some of the best female characters in shonen.
