"Cat Burglar" Nami

Nami , nicknamed "Cat Burglar" Nami , renamed Nami the "Navigator" in the 4Kids dub, is the crew's 18-year-old navigator and thief. She has the ability to recognize and analyze even the slightest changes in the weather

She is also an excellent pickpocket. Her dream is to draw a complete map of the world. Throughout the series, Nami fights using a three-sectioned bo staff. Usopp later provides her with a version of this weapon capable of controlling weather, called the Clima-Takt renamed "Climate Baton" in the English manga, and "Weather Forcer" in the 4Kids dub) Even later, Usopp augments the Clima-Takt with dials, making it more powerful

Nami's current bounty is 16,000,000 Berries

Nami ranked in the Top 10 of all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Her backstory has been found to be a "touching story" as it "unfolds with a lot of emotion" by Mania Entertainment writer, Jarred Pine. Pine also mentioned Nami was his favorite character from the series, and satisfied with how the manga showed her past.

While reviewing the 8th DVD from Viz Media, Activeanime mentioned Nami is one of the best characters from the series as "She’s got guts, smarts, and can heft a mean punch when needed". Like Pined, Activeanime liked Nami's background and added that his "itty bitty heart went out to her"

When a reader asked Oda who Nami is in love with, Oda answered that there will not likely be any romance among the Straw Hat Pirates. Oda explained that he does not portray romance in One Piece as the series is a shōnen comic, and the young boys who read the comic are not interested in romance

"King of Snipers Sogeking" Usopp

Usopp , nicknamed "King of Snipers Sogeking" , renamed "Sniper King" in the English manga), is the crew's 17-year old marksman. His name comes from Uso, which means liar in Japanese, and Aesop, the author of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.[citation needed] He is a liar, talented inventor, as well as a skilled painterch and sculptor.ch.106 His primary weapon is a slingshot, which he uses to fire various kinds of ammunition, ranging from rotten eggs and shuriken to hot sauce, and both flaming and exploding projectiles.

Later, he creates himself a large, dial-powered slingshot he calls Kabuto  with which he is able to outrange even guns.

Usopp's father, Yasopp, left his family to become a pirate with Shank's crew when Usopp was still very young.ch.25 Some time after this, Usopp's mother, Banchina , fell ill. Usopp started telling lies, stating that his father had returned and would be taking them with him.

His mother eventually died, but Usopp, in his sadness, continued to lie. Despite all this, he does not blame his father for leaving him, but takes pride in his heritage.

He is inspired by Luffy, Zoro and Nami and decides to go out to sea, following his dream of becoming a "brave warrior of the sea".
His weakness as a fighter weighs heavily upon him and when after the crew is defeated and almost destroyed by Admiral Aokiji of the Marines, Luffy decides to replace the badly damaged Going Merry,

the Straw Hats' first ship, which is given to them by Usopp's friend "Kaya", a girl from his village that he used to cheer up with his lies,ch.24 Usopp goes so far as to temporarily leave the crew.ch.331,438 Usopp's current bounty is 30,000,000 Berries

"Black Leg" Sanji

Sanji , nicknamed "Black Leg" Sanji , is the crew's 19-year-old chef.
He knows how it feels to starve from first hand experience,
so he will never refuse someone a meal.ch.48 He has a strong sense of chivalry, because of which, he will never harm a woman, even if he dies.

Sanji also seems to keep this code regardless of a woman's appearance.
His dream is to find the "All Blue" , renamed "Great Blue" in the 4Kids dub, a legendary sea, containing every kind of fish in the world.

Sanji is also a very skilled fighter who uses only kicks. He said that this is because a chef's hands are his most prized possessions and should not be risked in battle

His fighting style resembles the capoeira

Sanji also has the ability to employ a fire based kick, called "Diable Jamble" , in the English manga in which he sets his leg on fire by spinning around rapidly, this causes his attacks to be much more powerful, Sanji first used this technique at Enies Lobby. Sanji's current bounty is 77,000,000 Berries

[BLEACH vs NARUTO] WHERE NIGHTMARES WALK

WHERE NIGHTMARES WALK


The green glow of eyes and sulfurous breath shimmer in the fog as the Nightmares come into range. The horses' steel-sharp hooves rip furrows in the field, trampling everything in their path.
"Over here!" my companion dog calls out to them, exposing me.
I didn't know he could speak, but their was no mistaking the source of the sound-or the fact that I am trapped in a field with Nightmares bearing down upon me.
The dog shakes, and his glamour falls away like water flung from his fur. Under his disguise, my helpmate is a skeletal beast with holes where its eyes should be.
"Run," it growls, "so we can chase."
I want to, but much like the rest of the things I want my legs to do, running is no longer an option. If I could still run, I wouldn't be alone on the night when Nightmares walk free. If I could still run, I'd be out in costume trick-or -treating with my friends.
"I can't run."
I hobble toward an oak that stands like a shadow in the fog.
The monstrous dog doesn't stop me as I drop my crutches and pull myself onto the lowest branch. It doesn't stop me as I try to heave myself higher.
"Faster!" it calls out to the Nightmares, which are almost upon me.
The only question left to answer is whether their running or my climbing is quicker.
