7 Weak One Piece Characters Who Have Been Troublesome to Luffy

Luffy feels like the strongest in the Straw Hat pirate group One Piece. Even so, he sometimes has trouble in battle.

Sometimes it’s because the enemy is much stronger than him, such as fighters of Kuzan and Sakazuki’s level.

But there are also some weak characters One Piece who once troubled Luffy. Anyone? Here’s an example!

1. Higuma

Higuma (Doc. Toei Animation / One Piece’s first fugitive)

Higuma was actually very weak.

But because Luffy was still small when dealing with him, Luffy was even weaker than Higuma.

In the end, Luffy was helpless when dealing with these bandits.

2. Porchemy

Like Higuma, Luffy dealt with Porchemy when he was a child.

In the end, Luffy couldn’t do much against Porchemy, even though Porchemy’s strength was not that prominent compared to Luffy’s future enemies.

3. Buggy (in Loguetown)

Buggy almost executes Luffy. (Doc. Toei Animation/One Piece)

Buggy is one of the characters who almost killed Luffy.

One of the keys to this situation was Cabaji, who managed to trap Luffy on the Loguetown execution platform.

Luffy is already trapped, Buggy just has to try to cut off Luffy’s head. Luffy smiled, already accepting the situation.

Luckily Luffy was saved by lightning.

4.Mr. 3

Mr 3 in Little Garden. (Doc. Toei Animation/One Piece)

In terms of strength, Mr. 3 is actually relatively weak in Baroque Works. Mr 4 alone is superior to him in terms of physical strength.

Even so, in Little Garden, Mr. 3 had time to put up a fight against Luffy.

One of the reasons is because Mr. 3 at that time was assisted by several allies, including his partner, Ms. Golden Week.

Colors Trap Ms. Golden Week was a hassle for Luffy. Ms. Golden Week also then colored Candle Champion Mr 3.

5. Foxy

Toei Animation/One Piece

This Foxy is actually weak.

If Luffy faced him again now, their fight would probably be over in an instant.

Even so, Luffy’s fight against Foxy in Davy Back Fight was still quite exciting, and Luffy got injured too, because Foxy relied on many tricks to make things difficult for Luffy.

6. Usopp

Usopp is probably one of the weakest of the Straw Hats.

This fight happened before time skipso Usopp has not yet obtained upgrades strength.

Even so, Usopp can provide interesting resistance when he duels against Luffy.

Usopp did lose in the end, but he was at least able to give an interesting fight against Luffy.

7. Blush

Perona in One Piece. (Doc. Toei Animation/One Piece)

Perona is a type of fighter who is physically weak but has troublesome strength.

Horo Horo no Mi Perona’s possession had influenced a number of tough Straw Hat fighters, including Luffy.

In the end, it took a negative Usopp to face Perona.

So those are 7 weak characters One Piece who once troubled Luffy.
