* Marineford Arc: [[ArmchairMilitary Fleet Admiral Sengoku]], who tries to execute Ace and leads his army into battle against the Whitebeard Pirates. Due to mostly being a NonActionBigBad, however, his position is taken over by [[EvilCounterpart "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach]] and [[GeneralRipper Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki]]. The latter duo's actions during this arc have helped build up both individuals as the potential {{Big Bad}}s of the entire series.

** [[spoiler:[[HeroicRematch Admiral Kizaru]] and [[CorruptPolitician Saint Jaygarcia Saturn]], the former being sent alongside an army of Marines to siege Egghead Island and kill Vegapunk, and the latter being sent to [[VillainNoLongerIdle take care of the situation himself]] and force the Pacifistas to stand down]]. [[spoiler:Later, it's revealed Saturn was involved with Bartholomew Kuma and his loved ones past suffering since he was the one that gave Ginny Sapphire Scales that went to her daughter Jewelry Bonney as well and forced him to become a mindless cyborg to save Bonney. Eventually, when Kuma suddenly reappears on Egghead defying all logical explanation, Saturn becomes so enraged that he starts a buster call on Egghead to kill everyone present.]]

** That said, the arc begins to branch out into numerous villains as their goals finally collide with the heroes, such as [[spoiler:Blackbeard launching an attack on Koby and Law, Saint Charlos trying to kidnap Shirahoshi (again), Mihawk, Crocodile and Buggy forming the Cross Guild, and Imu killing King Cobra and testing the Mother Flame on Lulusia.]]

* Enies Lobby Arc: [[GeneralFailure Spandam]], head of Cipher Pol 9, with [[PsychoForHire Rob Lucci]] as the DragonInChief, who wishes to send Robin through the Gates of Justice so she can be tortured for information the Government could use to revive the Ancient Weapon Pluton.

* Dressrosa Arc: [[AgentPeacock Donquixote Doflamingo]], who rules Dressrosa as its king after [[VillainWithGoodPublicity controlling the original king with his powers to go on a rampage and then "saving" the country]], placing it under a dark conspiracy where the toys that live there are in fact cursed victims forced to work for him. After his conspiracy is unveiled and the curse is broken, he ensnares the island in his "[[{{Birdcaged}} Birdcage]]" to kill everyone on the island.

* Whole Cake Island Arc: [[PsychopathicManchild "Big Mom" Charlotte Linlin]], who arranges a marriage between her daughter Charlotte Pudding and Sanji, who is revealed to be the son of [[AbusiveParents Vinsmoke Judge]], in an effort to take the Germa 66's technology and achieve her dreams of gigantifing her family as she could not patch things with the real giants. But because Linlin herself is too powerful for Luffy to defeat at this point in time, her son and strongest commander, [[TheAce Charlotte Katakuri]], becomes Luffy's [[ClimaxBoss opponent during the arc's climax]].

* Wano Country Arc: [[WorldsStrongestMan Kaido, the King of the Beasts]], who is in collusion with Wano Country's shogun, [[TheQuisling Kurozumi Orochi]] having teamed up together to take over the country and rule it with an iron fist for the past twenty years. [[spoiler: Orochi is revealed to be a BigBadWannabe as Kaido decapitates him for being an annoyance to his plans, and then teams up with Big Mom in order to fully turn Wano into a lawless pirate empire and take over the world. Orochi, who is revealed to be NotQuiteDead thanks to his Devil Fruit, serves as a distant secondary threat in Act Three when he sets fire to Onigashima and later commands his mole to blow up the weapon cache beneath the island to kill all of his enemies in one fell swoop, though [[BigBadWannabe again]] he pales in comparison to Kaido and Big Mom who are the ones the heroes are actually focused on fighting.]]

Both went down in one chapter. The second half has [[DirtyCop Captain "Ax-Hand" Morgan]], by virtue of terrorizing Shells Town and ordering the executions of Zoro and a little girl.

** The previous ruler of the Sorbet Kingdom, [[TheCaligula King Becori]] acts as the main villain of Kuma's flashback, attempting to KillThePoor so he could pay less taxes to the World Government.

** [[RevengeBeforeReason Rob Lucci]] returns as the primary threat the Straw Hats need to face again, as Lucci is ordered by the World Government to [[spoiler:kill Luffy and Vegapunk before the latter finds out about the Void Century and to capture Robin in order to reset the chaos in the world.]]

* Fishman Island Arc: [[FantasticRacism Hody Jones]], the captain of the [[NazisByAnyOtherName New Fish-Man Pirates]] who wants to wipe out all humans, and eventually the "prideless Fishman", of Fishman Island out of racial superiority.
