Vote for your favorite One Piece character, including both good and bad guys; ONLY characters who appeared in the anime

Of all the anime that has ever been made, Eiichiro Oda's pirate adventure series One Piece has to have the largest cast of characters. It may be ambitious, but this list ranks every single One Piece character from best to worst, including Luffy's main crew, every One Piece Villain, all the Marines, and any other secondary characters. Every single arc from the show is taken into account for this list, including Arlong Park, Skypeia, Drum Island and any other main or side arcs in the series. It's hard to believe that the show started with just Luffy- almost 700 episodes later and the show has introduced us to too many characters to keep track of! 

Who is the best One Piece character? Do you like the funnier characters like Usopp, Chopper, and Sanji? What about tough characters like Zoro or Portgas D. Ace? No matter who you love, we want to hear from you! Vote for your favorite characters below, no matter how much of an impact they had on the cannon episodes of the show.
