É realmente difícil enviar oficialmente alguém para Uma pedaço, dado o desprezo do próprio criador pelos romances canônicos. De acordo com Uma pedaço O próprio mangaka Eiichiro Oda, romance não pertence ao mangá shōnen. Além dos casais reais que deram vida aos personagens, Uma pedaço os fãs não devem esperar nenhum acoplamento real na série. Ainda assim, apesar da postura mesquinha de Oda em relação ao amor, mais do que alguns se infiltraram.
Ironicamente, esse desdém pelo romance tornou algumas cenas e dinâmicas da série ainda mais impactantes e surpreendentes. Como Oda não aborda temas românticos em sua maioria as menores dicas românticas se tornaram o centro da atenção de muitos fãs. Oficial ou não, há muitos romances ao longo da história que Oda garantiu que nenhum Uma pedaço fã veria chegando.

Kaido X Big Mom
Um casal poderoso e monstruoso de Yonkos
A conexão de Kaido e Big Mom vem de muito tempojá que faziam parte dos piratas do Rock. Dado que o sonho de Big Mom é criar um país com todas as raças, e Kaido é o único oni visto na série, não é absurdo acreditar que LinLin poderia estar interessado em ter um filho com ele. O autor de One Piece até compartilhou uma obra de arte onde um jovem Kaido e Big Mom andam de bicicleta juntos e têm uma química palpável.
Além disso, Big Mom deu a Kaido sua fruta do diabo. No entanto, dada a diferença de 9 anos entre eles, Big Mom disse que vê Kaido como um irmão mais novo. Além disso, Kaido a chamou de velha, mas ele ainda lembrava a época em que se conheceram, e lamentou por ela e pelo fim de sua promessa de encontrar a peça única juntos. Portanto, mesmo que um romance não aconteça, eles têm um ótimo relacionamento com personagens monstruosos.

Leo x Mansherry
Um romance unilateral com muito potencial
Outro navio inesperado, mas adorável em Uma pedaço que muitas vezes passa despercebido são Leo e a Princesa Mansherry. Apesar de sua baixa estatura, os sentimentos da princesa Mansherry por Leo são impossíveis de ignorar. A Princesa Tontatta ficou muito feliz quando Leo veio salvá-la das garras da Família Donquixote e muitas vezes parece disputar a atenção de Leo, pedindo-lhe para carregá-la quando ela estiver cansada.
No entanto, Leo, assim como Luffy, é teimoso e muito alheio à paixão de Mansherry por ele. Ele a vê como uma pessoa temperamental e egoísta, mas parece se importar com ela no final do dia.

Mihawk X Perona
Um casal gótico com dinâmica familiar
Perona ficou com Mihawk durante o salto no tempo e até voltou a morar com ele depois que Zoro saiu e depois de ir para Thriller Bark para Kumashi. Apesar de seu relacionamento muitas vezes parecer uma dinâmica platônica e familiar por causa da diferença de idade entre eles, vários fãs afirmaram que se complementam, já que o estoicismo de Mihawk contrasta com a personalidade barulhenta e infantil de Perona, e ela também trouxe à tona a personalidade mais suave e mais humana do maior espadachim. lado.
Embora não seja abertamente romântico, o relacionamento deles cresce para mostrar sinais de carinho e cuidado, como o fato de ambos cozinharem um para o outro e Perona ter ajudado Mihawk em seus campos. Ela até chorou alto e agradeceu a Mihawk por tudo que ele fez por ela, e ele ficou aliviado por ela evitar o perigo após a dissolução dos senhores da guerra. No Romance de heroínas de One PieceMihawk plantou secretamente cacaueiros para que pudesse fazer sua bebida favorita. Eles ainda têm estilos góticos correspondentes, e os fãs não se cansam deles juntos.
17
Usopp X Kaya
Um navio que voou sob o radar
O relacionamento de Usopp e Kaya, embora sutil, certamente tem os ingredientes de um romance de infância esperando para ser reacendido quando Usopp finalmente retornar a Syrup Village. O mangá e o anime pintam principalmente Usopp e Kaya como amigos íntimos devido à relutância de Oda em incluir romance, mas a adaptação live-action de Uma pedaço surpreendentemente se inclinou muito mais para os aspectos românticos do relacionamento de Kaya e Usopp, até mesmo dando aos fãs um presente de despedida surpreendente, mas adequado.
16
Vivi X Koza
Um casal saudável de amigos de infância para amantes
Outro exemplo adorável de amizade de infância esperando para se transformar em romance é o de Koza e Vivi. Embora Koza tenha passado despercebido desde o fim do Arco Alabasta, seu relacionamento com Vivi e sua história de fundo são bastante memoráveis. Os dois se conhecem há mais de uma década e dizem que costumavam brincar juntos quando crianças.
Mesmo que a amizade deles tenha começado com muitas brigas, a lealdade e o respeito de Koza por Vivi estão presentes desde o início. Embora certamente existam navios mais populares envolvendo Vivi, não poderia haver ninguém mais adequado para Vivi do que Koza, considerando suas habilidades de liderança e o quão bem ele a conhece.
15
Franky x Robin
Uma combinação de fãs com muita química
Embora Oda seja estritamente contra o romance entre os Chapéus de Palha, isso não impede que alguns deles tenham uma química romântica madura e um excelente exemplo disso é Franky e Robin. De todos os navios Robin em Uma pedaçoFranky e Robin, muitas vezes referido como Frobin, é indiscutivelmente o mais popular entre os fãs, e não é difícil perceber porquê.
Franky e Robin têm muitas interações excelentes, como em Sabaody, quando Franky aparentemente tenta impressionar Robin, chamando-a de atraente e super arqueóloga. Franky também protegeu Robin diligentemente em Enies Lobby, até mesmo protegendo-a heroicamente dos tiros dos fuzileiros navais. Os dois costumam formar pares sempre que a tripulação se separa para explorar ou lutar e Oda frequentemente retrata os dois juntos em ilustrações e ilustrações coloridas, levando os fãs a vê-los como uma espécie de casal de idosos.
14
Shanks x Makino
Um possível amor duradouro em terra seca
O navio de Shanks e Makino está enraizado em seu passado compartilhado na Vila Foosha durante a infância de Luffy. Shanks e sua equipe costumavam frequentar o bar de Makino, e seu comportamento provocador e brincalhão perto dela indicava que eles se sentiam confortáveis um com o outro. Além disso, Makino foi muito atencioso com Shanks, apesar de ele ser um pirata, e foi compreensivo mesmo durante o incidente do bar.
Por causa disso quando Makino é mostrado segurando um bebê após o salto no tempo que mais tarde é revelado por Oda como seu filho e porque ela não foi vista interagindo com outros homens alguns fãs teorizam que o bebê é do pirata ruivoembora isso significasse que Shanks teria que retornar à ilha recentemente. A verdade é que Shanks e Makino ficam bem juntos e eram muito amigáveis um com o outro, o que poderia ter evoluído para algo mais.
13
Ace X Yamato
Um vínculo saudável com um fim trágico
Uma pedaçoO Wano Arc revelou mais uma conexão surpreendente entre Ace e Yamato, que se cruzaram quando Ace veio para Wano. Conhecer Ace foi um ponto de viragem no arco do personagem de Yamato, pois ele a inspirou a perseguir seus sonhos e não ser controlada por seus pais.
Embora haja muito pouca experiência[licit romance between the two as they only met once and never saw each other again, the one night they spent drinking and exchanging stories paints a rather tragic picture of what could have been had Yamato and Ace been able to set out to sea together.
12
Zoro X Robin
An Unlikely Yet Compelling Romance
When Nico Robin first debuted, no one thought that she’d actually become a Straw Hat. She was, after all, an ex-assassin who just hopped aboard the Going Merry after things fell through with Baroque Works. While Monkey D. Luffy was quick to accept the lady who once tried to blow up his crew, Roronoa Zoro was less welcoming. This initial skepticism is perhaps what makes a perspective romance between Robin and Zoro so compelling.
Zoro was immediately at odds with Robin and promised that her transition into the crew wouldn’t be easy. Little did he know that he’d come to save her time and time again. While Sanji and Luffy have come to Robin’s aid plenty of times, their last-minute saves never had the same romantic charge as the iconic scenes when Zoro saved her on Skypeia or fought for her against Kaku.
11
Zoro X Hiyori
A Bond Born During Hardships
Zoro and Princess Hiyori is one of the most popular ships that One Piece fans expect to become official. Even though Zoro hasn’t shown any interest in a romantic relationship, it is undeniable that Hiyori was attracted to him after he demonstrated his ability as a warrior and helped her in her time of need.
Hiyori and Zoro share a bond of mutual understanding and respect, and she was able to open up to him and be vulnerable. Hiyori sweetly took care of Zoro while he was gravely injured after saving her and willingly gave him the sword she had received from her father, showing her trust in him. Since she is not part of the Straw Hats, Hiyori may be the most likely match for Zoro at the end of the series.
10
Sanji X Pudding
A Classic Enemies-To-Lovers Affair
Despite Sanji and Charlotte Pudding being put in an actual arranged marriage, few, both in universe and out, actually thought there was anything in the coupling. The lack of feelings between the Pudding and Sanji was seemingly confirmed when Pudding revealed her true intentions. In a grand plot to usurp the Vinsmoke Family, Sanji was just a pawn in the merciless hands of the Charlotte Family who was forced to go as far as to betray his crew.

Once Pudding started laughing at Sanji’s desperate confessions of love, coming during arguably the hardest time of his life (not in a prison cell), the fans were quick to turn on her. And, just as quick, they turned back when Sanji, with a sincere look of love that only he could pull, changed the fickle girl’s heart once again. Despite seeing the two meet under unfavorable circumstances, fans now just can’t wait to see what could possibly become of a perspective romance between the two.
9
Smoker X Hina
A Bickering Yet Endearing Duo
Other than the fact that the two are Marines, there wasn’t a lot to go on early on to actually get the fans shipping Smoker and Hina. Besides crossing paths on Alabasta, Smoker and Hina just appeared as two independent badasses metting justice on their own terms.
If it weren’t for Zoro, some people might have actually shipped Smoker with Tashigi instead, and Hina would never be part of the equation. However, Oda really set fans’ minds ablaze when he released a cover page of Smoker and Hina shopping together. What was once simply two hot-headed individuals has now become the bickering couple of the series. Though it might be a toxic type of relationship in real life, the bickering couple dynamic is quite popular with fans of shipping, meaning that Smoker and Hina went from nothing to a beloved potential romance with one cover.
8
Sai X Baby 5
A Romance That Bloomed on the Battlefield
This one really came out of nowhere in the story, especially given how little build there was initially for either Sai or Baby 5. The two met on the battlefields of Dressrosa during the Straw Hats’ altercation with Donquixote Doflamingo, and while both were initially enemies of the Straw Hats, Sai and the Happo Navy eventually turned to his side.
This would lead him to fight against Baby 5, but as per her gimmick, she quickly fell in love with him. Born into this world without love, Baby 5 has always been quick to seek romance, even in the middle of a battlefield. While most people would accept romance anywhere else but a battlefield, Sai oddly kept an open mind and would go on to save Baby 5 from the Donquixote Family and marry her into his own.
7
Bege X Chiffon
They Formed an Endearing Mobster Family
When Bege Capone first appeared during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc as part of the worst generation, nobody would have expected him to return as a loving husband and father just a few arcs later. What started only as an arranged marriage turned into one of the most wholesome couples in the series, since Bege and Chiffon have shown they genuinely fell in love and are obsessed with each other.
Bege and Chiffon also support each other unconditionally. Like when Bege agrees to stay and help with the Straw Hats’ plan instead of fleeing because Chiffon asks for it, and when she stops Gotti from attacking Sanji so Big Mom wouldn’t harm her husband. Showing how love can change people, Bege, Chiffon, and their son Pez have formed a comfy, happy mobster home with the rest of the Fire Tank Pirates members.
6
Rayleigh X Shakky
An Unexpected Yet Confirmed Couple
For those who don’t keep up with supplementary materials or have seen competing translations of the series, Rayleigh and Shakky’s relationship likely came as a shock. Though the two seem to be just close acquaintances when the Straw Hats meet them, Oda confirmed that the two are a couple, with some translations and interpretations out there claiming that the two are married.
However, there is a direct confirmation of the two’s relationship in Volume 2 of One Piece‘s Vivre Card Databooks. While not exactly an exciting reveal, it’s interesting to know just how close Rayleigh and Shakky truly are.
5
Sabo X Koala
Surprising Chemistry in the Revolutionary Army
Long before the Dressrosa Arc, Sabo and Koala were simply seen as two different individuals whose paths would never actually cross in the story. Sabo was in a state of narrative hibernation after Luffy’s backstory was revealed, and Koala’s arc was seemingly done after the Sun Pirates brought her home.
Related
Not only was it exciting to see her return as part of the Revolutionary Army, as well as Sabo not being dead, but fans were also ecstatic to see the two having a seemingly more-than-chummy relationship. While the pieces weren’t there initially, seeing Sabo and Koala interact on page and screen just clicks well with One Piece fans.
4
Sanji X Viola
A Passionate Duo With Similar Fighting Styles
While it shouldn’t be a surprise that a notorious flirt like Sanji has multiple ships, the arrival of this relationship did seemingly come out of nowhere. While walking through the streets of Dressrosa, Sanji immediately bumps into a woman running away from trouble who kisses him to hide from her pursuers. This moment immediately rushes to Sanji’s head, as well as the imaginations of the fans.
Despite this inevitably being a trap, Violet, aka Viola, seemed like the perfect match for Sanji. She’s a beautiful, passionate woman whose main fighting style consists of kicking. In shōnen stories, matching fighting styles means something deep. Despite this though, Viola has a potentially more interesting relationship that was strongly hinted at.
3
Doflamingo X Viola
A Hinted Affair That Didn’t Make the Cut
As long and detailed as One Piece might look, it’s surprising to learn that there are still plenty of details that don’t actually make the final cut of the story. One such detail is the tumultuous history between Viola and the Heavenly Demon himself, Donquixote Doflamingo. ‘
While Eiichiro Oda has given no solid details using the word “romance,” he has hinted at an “adult” relationship between Doflamingo and Viola in the SBS for Volume 83. Unfortunately, Oda isn’t likely allowed by his supervisors to share the specifics of this particular relationship. Still, knowing that the two hooked up is an interesting detail for fans of shipping One Piece characters, especially given the popularity of the enemies-to-lovers trope.
2
Chopper X Milky
Chopper Finds the Perfect Partner on Zou
As the mascot for the franchise and one of the few anthropomorphic animals in the story, few fans of One Piece have ever actually shipped Tony Tony Chopper with anyone. However, Oda took a massive opportunity to amend this during the Zou Arc, when the Straw Hats landed on a kingdom filled with anthropomorphic animals.
While Luffy’s half of the Straw Hats were on Dressrosa, Chopper’s team was busy rescuing Zou in the aftermath of Jack’s attack. During that time, a sultry reindeer aided him as his nurse, and with little ambiguity, Chopper seems to be taken by her. Given that Chopper is a reindeer doctor and Milky is a reindeer nurse, their relationship just makes sense on paper.
1
Luffy X Hancock
Luffy Unwittingly Charms the Stone-Hearted Empress
It’s weird to think that, at one point, no one was shipping Luffy with the empress of Amazon Lily. When Bartholomew Kuma first sent Luffy to the land of strong women, he was immediately at odds with the citizens, especially Boa Hancock.
Not only did she have an everlasting hate for all men, Luffy trespassed on her bath quarters and saw her greatest shame tattooed on her back. Spiteful, Hancock immediately tried to have him killed, setting people’s bars really low for a potential romance. Despite this, it just took Luffy’s ingenuity and kindness to not only sway her but even get Boa to fall in love with him.

One Piece isn’t likely to turn into a romance manga anytime soon. While similar franchises like Naruto and even Dragon Ball haven’t shied away from showing relationships develop over time, that’s been much less true for One Piece. Still, that doesn’t mean the world’s most famous pirate manga/anime franchise doesn’t have its share of romances. Love might not be the focus of One Piece, but that just makes the few hints at genuine romance there are stick with fans all the more.
One Piece is available from Crunchyroll.
