[Discussion] Which Straw Hat had the saddest backstory?

[Hexuze]

the void world isnt complex its not even a little confusing its just 'this is what happened a long long time ago'
it hardly pertains to what is currently going on
the void century doesnt relate to haki, it doesnt relate to devil fruits, it doesnt luffy

Well considering how early it appeared, Oda is obviously going to discuss it a lot further and tell us the complete story. You still never answered what makes Naruto Shippuden so complex. :/ It's just a story with plot-holes up the ass.

1. Robin
2. Brook
3. Nami
4. Chopper
5. Franky
6. Sanji
7. Zoro
8. Ussop
9. Luffy

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Brook or Robin.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

The story that got to me the most is Sanji's desertion on that island with the pirate. That was a great story.

Nico Robin easily had the saddest back story. She was treated with hate by her fellow children, and when she was just like 9 years old, she had the navy obliterate everyone and everything she ever held dear to her. She was then sent on the run with nowhere to go, always haveing to watch her back, for many years.

Brook comes closest after that. He lost his crew to a poison, and couldnt fulfill his promise to laboon. He had to endure many many years of loneliness. But aside from just being alone, he did not suffer. When he died with his crew, they died happily. (unlike robins people)



So honestly which do you think is sadder?

A young little girl, haveing her village of harmless people, and her island and mom completely obliterated, and then being forced to suffer for 20 years while running around, never being able to trust anyone?

or

Brooks crew getting poisoned, and dieing, leaving him all alone for many years.


Brook at least had happy memories to look back on. Robin didnt really have much of that. Brook was greiving while Robin was scarred for life.

Now it will be much happier when brook sees laboon than when Robin finds out the true history.

I think Brook's misery is worse when you take into account how long it lasted. His time on that alone was twice as long as most of the Staw Hat pirate's lives (Besides Franky and Robin).

50 years of loneliness will break anyboy's spirit. Picture yourself stranded on a boat that can't steer with nothing but your friends corpses and the memories/nightmares of a promise that you couldn't keep for 50 whole years...death itself probably wouldn't seem so bad.

all of k11 have backstories
they might not be as dramatic but they have them
not to mention that even the antagonists have backstories
not one of one pieces antagonists have a backstory as to why they even antagonize

Yeah, because being friendzoned by a girl is by all means a reason to start a war.

And its still too early in one piece to have detailed backstories on ALL the antagonist, but there is still years left for one piece, naruto is going to be over soon....a DBZ clone at its best.
