Highlights

  • One Piece effectively portrays the stark contrast between the rich and the poor, with the latter facing abuse and mistreatment wherever they go.
  • The privileged, like Wapol and Cavendish, enjoy a life of ease and comfort, with access to wealth and military might.
  • Sanji demonstrates the struggles of being a prince, as he faced familial abuse and was forced to forge his own path in life.

One Piece does a great job of highlighting the discrepancies between the rich and the poor. The latter are kicked down and suffer abuse everywhere they go. Many of them accept their fate and just wait until they die.

These One Piece characters met their end in the Final Saga.

For rich people, life is easy and comfortable. All they have to do is sit idly and enjoy themselves. Being a prince of a kingdom is the same. In addition to the riches, they also have access to the military of their country. Each prince's strength depends on their own physical abilities, their nation's military, and their influence.

The ranking is based on the combination of physical strength, money, and military might.

Sanji is the son of Vinsmoke Judge and Sora. From a young age, Sanji was bullied by his siblings and father. They did not like that he was weak and emotional, so they wasted no chance of beating him. Fortunately, Sanji managed to run away and start a new life.

​​​​​​Currently, Sanji is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and has a bounty of over 1 billion berries. He has cut ties with his family, but to the rest of the world, he is still a prince of the Germa Kingdom.

As the prince of Elbaf, Loki has a great deal of authority, and he can command all the forces in the country. Loki is also a giant, which means he has a lot of physical strength. He can overwhelm most characters in combat due to his enormous size. It is very likely that he is going to be involved in the Final Saga of One Piece.
