Welcome back humans, to week three of the the blog that keeps on giving. Last week we discussed the Celestial Dragons, Marines, and the Revolutionary. But this week brings out more pirate and World Government information. So, on deck is going to be the Yonko. Yonko In One Piece , the Yonko (Four Emperors) are the most powerful pirate captains and hold enopugh power to keep the Marines and World Governement at bay. They even garner enough power to be able to wage war against the Marines and World Government if they feel it is needed. The Yonko include Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates, Kaido of the Beast Pirates, Charlotte Linlin of the Big Mom Pirates, and Marshall D. Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Ever since high school, I have been a fan of One Piece, a Japanese manga, by Eiichiro Oda. In the next couple of weeks I will go over what makes me love the series and what the world is all about. To kick off this series of posts, I feel that there is no better way than to begin with the characters that helm the series known as the Straw Hat Pirates. For the most part, I will be looking to avoid spoilers as much as I can. So let's get this show on the road. Straw Hat Pirates: The crew is currently made up of ten members that all have different goals in mind, but the quality that stands out above the rest is their willingness to trust and stick with each other through the toughest of battles. These battles come often as they are technically criminals because of their choice to be pirates. As I have understood the series, I would say that freedom is a major quality that separates the pirates from a law abiding citizen. Specifically the Straw Hats will only thrust themselves into
