The new world has some of One Piece’s strongest martial arts and martial artists. Here’s a closer look at them.
Although they are often overlooked compared to the much flashier swordsmen of the One Piece world, martial artists make up a vast majority of the fighters the series has to offer. Oftentimes referring to characters who simply fight with their fists, there is a surprisingly vast number of unique fighting styles that the Straw Hats have encountered throughout their journey in the New World. While some are a bit sillier than others, each of these One Piece fighting styles has carved out a notable niche in the story.
However, nearly as important as the fighting styles themselves are the martial artists who use them. More often than not, the strongest fighter of a specific martial arts style will represent the school as a whole, acting as a figurehead. Due to this, each martial arts style can be boiled down to a few notable fighters, most of whom are active in the New World, who make up the bulk of the representation of each style that the audience witnesses in the series. From Fishman Karate experts to masters of Rokushiki, these are some of the best Martial Artists in One Piece’s New World.
There Is A Wide Variety Of One Piece Martial Arts
In the world of One Piece, the term martial arts is incredibly broad, referring to almost any specific fighting style the series has to offer. While the term often refers to those who fight with their fists, some martial art styles can include the use of weapons. However, the main distinction between a martial artist and any random fighter lies in the specifics of the style-based combat.
