** Guernica is the commander of Cipher Police AIGIS 0 ([=CP0=]) and the enforcer of the will of [[AristocratsAreEvil the Five Elders and the World Nobles]]. Appearing first in the Dressrosa arc, the commander assists Doflamingo in setting his trap for Trafalgar Law by faking his resignation from the Seven Warlords, coolly making his exit before the fighting begins. At Wano, the commander attempts to negotiate a deal between the Elders and Shogun Orochi, refusing the Shogun's demands when they become far too weighted in his own favor, and later reports on the final battle to the Elders while calmly [[SmartPeoplePlayChess enjoying a game of]] ''TabletopGame/{{Go}}'' with his men. Upon joining the battle himself, he defeats X Drake before surprising Luffy with a sneak attack, enabling Kaido to critically wound him. Ending up on the receiving end of Kaido's distaste for fighting dirty, the commander simply [[FaceDeathWithDignity tips his hat to the Emperor before the end]].

** Lady Komurasaki, real name Hiyori Kozuki, is the most beautiful woman in Wano. An elegant courtesan who deceives men into selling everything they own, including their families, only to abandon them, it is revealed she did this to members of an arson ring for the sake of the people. Faking her own death with the help of retainer Denjiro, Hiyori later lures the tyrannical Orochi into a trap, revealing her true identity and managing to ensure the wicked Shogun's demise.

** [[MasterSwordsman Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk]] is the World's Greatest Swordsman, a laidback yet lethal [[Characters/OnePieceSevenWarlordsOfTheSea Warlord of the Sea]] who serves as [[Characters/OnePieceRoronoaZoro Roronoa Zoro]]'s greatest challenge. His sword skills practically unmatched and capable of decimating any opponent he faces, Mihawk introduces himself to the Straw Hats having annihilated Don Krieg's entire fleet singlehandedly before easily beating Zoro and regarding Luffy's attempts to attack him as mere annoyance. Later taking part in the Marineford conflict, Mihawk casually destroys waves of enemies with ease and puts Luffy on the run, with Mihawk barely breaking a sweat even as he swiftly defeats Buggy and faces Crocodile in combat. Mihawk personally trains Zoro over the course of two years out of respect for the man's tenacity, and Mihawk takes the news that he's been declared wanted by the government with a mere chuckle and [[BringIt an invitation to an army of terrified Marines to face him in combat]].
** [[RetiredBadass Chef "Red-Leg" Zeff]] was an infamous pirate who searched the Grand Line for the mythical All-Blue. To accumulate funds, Zeff had his crew return to the East Blue, the tamest of the seas, in order to raid unprotected ships, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but refusing to take anybody's food]]. Saving the young Sanji's life upon finding out he has the same dream, Zeff later uses his plundered fortunes to open the seafaring restaurant, Baratie. While running Baratie, Zeff refuses to turn down those in need of food, being perfectly willing to feed pirates even if it means giving them the energy to continue their crimes. To get Sanji to quit, Zeff orchestrates a plan to [[CruelToBeKind ostracize Sanji from the rest of Baratie to convince him to follow his dream of searching for the All-Blue]], later giving a mocking yet heartwarming farewell to his apprentice.

** Monkey D. Garp shows [[AdaptationalIntelligence a more cunning side]] to him than his manga counterpart. Finding out that his grandson Luffy has became a pirate, Garp uses Captain Morgan's past corruption to strip him of his power and take control of his division to chase the Straw Hats through the East Blue. Garp tracks down the Straw Hats at every turn, even using Coby and Helmeppo's failure to arrest Luffy at The Gecko Islands as an opportunity to attack the Straw Hats' ship directly when they take off. Upon defeating Luffy at Conomi Islands, when Luffy refuses to give up on his dream, Garp lets him go, [[SecretTestOfCharacter revealing all of his actions were to test Luffy's resolve]]. Garp later takes in Coby and Helmeppo as his disciples as a result of them following their own code and refusing to arrest Luffy for a crime he didn't commit.
** [[MasterSwordsman Dracule Mihawk]] is just as brilliant and charming as his original Manga counterpart. A brilliant tactician, Mihawk is introduced effortlessly defeating Don Krieg and his fleet and uses Krieg's own weapons to take out his crew. Mihawk is hired by Monkey D. Garp to hunt down his grandson and bring him in and tracks him to Baratie. Challenged by Roronoa Zoro to a duel, Mihawk keeps him on his toes and effortlessly matches him blow for blow before acknowledging him as a WorthyOpponent. Becoming intrigued by Monkey D. Luffy, Mihawk abandons his goal of catching him in favor of allowing him to rise and possibly become King of the Pirates just so that the world can become more interesting.
