He had everything: The unique character design and fighting style, the character gag, the compelling personality and motivation."

Koala

Vito

Vito is a member of the Fire Tank Pirates and is known for his unique design and Goth aesthetic. "My guy Vito" . "There's a nonzero chance he might actually be Gaban's."

Magellan

Magellan is the former warden of Impel Down and possesses a powerful毒毒の実 (Doku Doku no Mi) Devil Fruit. "Ivankov and Perospero are great shouts, I was thinking of picking them but then I decided to go with other characters. For Magellan I feel like people at least acknowledge his incredible df so I think there are characters that are more disrespected/underrated than him, it would still be a good pick" .

Cracker

York

Iceberg

Iceberg is the mayor of Water 7 and a skilled shipwright. He played a crucial role in repairing the Merry and helping the Straw Hats. "Iceberg made it possible for the strawhats to get to ennies lobby repaired the merry so could escape." .

X Drake

X Drake is a former Marine Rear Admiral and a member of the Worst Generation. He is praised for his strong sense of justice and loyalty. "X Drake. Maybe he's not as impressive strength wise, but he's a walking green flag." .
