The One Piece universe has many villainous characters with understandable motives. For instance, Akainu is a man obsessed with justice and bases his notion of pirates on the worst scum of the sea, and Crocodile was a ruthless cutthroat with his own unique sense of "honor."
However, there are just as many villains who have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. From being persistent and reprehensible thorns in the Straw Hat crew's sides to betraying even their own comrades on a whim, they epitomize the evil of the anime universe and spurn anything that might make them likable.
10 Eneru Was A Slave Owner Who Treated His Own Priests As Disposable
As the god of Skypiea, Eneru felt no obligation toward the lives of his enemies, subjects, or even direct subordinates. He delighted in the demise of his high priests as the remaining four combatants made their way to him for the final fight and even offered them a chance to replace his former minions.
Christening himself as a deity due to his power alone, Eneru's formidable lightning gives him a superiority complex that makes compassion for others impossible.
9 Vander Decken Lusted After Shirahoshi When She Was Still A Child
Vander Decken was immediately enthralled by Princess Shirahoshi and coveted her as his wife while she was still a child at the age of six years old. This immediately made him a reprehensible monster, though his crimes extend even further.
Not only did he stalk her so doggedly that she could no longer leave her room, but he was also even willing to eradicate the entire population of Fish-Man island (including Hody Jones' forces) when she refused to be with him.
8 Doctor Hogback Was Responsible For Creating Over A Thousand Abominations
Doctor Hogback was Gecko Moria's assistant and a man responsible for unleashing untold atrocities across the Florian Triangle. In addition to creating an innumerable horde of zombie minions for his warlord, he also reanimated the corpse of a rejected love interest in a perverse and possessive way of keeping her.
Hogback was not only evil but also incompetent. After being accidentally crushed by Oars, his undead minions misinterpreted his final directive and turned their wrath against each other. His grotesque usage of science converted Chopper from admirer into adversary.
7 Kuro Was A Murderer Who Exploited The Gullibility Of A Child
Kuro was far from the strongest antagonist Luffy fought, though his lack of skill was compensated for with raw malice and planning. He spent three years earning Kaya's trust so that he could betray her and steal her fortune after her death.
Once the Straw Hats bungled the invasion of his pirate forces, he promised that he would butcher his own men after the battle was over. A menace to ally and adversary alike, Kuro is as vile as he is obscure.
6 Bluejam Attempted To Murder Countless Innocent People & Even His Own Subordinates
Bluejam was a captain who haunted Luffy and his brothers during their childhood. Not only did he dispatch men in order to steal their treasure, but he was also responsible for destroying an entire district of castaways only attempting to make a living scraping by.
He was callous with the lives of his own men, as proven through how casually he executed Porchemy for being defeated by children. Bluejam was the stereotypical pirate in the worst aspects conceivable.
5 Demaro Black Attempted To Tarnish Luffy's Name & Abandoned His Own Crew
After Luffy's disappearance, Demaro Black and his crew posed as the Straw Hat pirates in order to capitalize on their reputation. Together, they terrorized Sabaody and attempted to rally a small army to enact their will.
Although Black is a pale visual imitation of Luffy, their personalities are nothing alike. He was willing to allow the fake version of Robin to be kidnapped, much to the shock and bewilderment of Chopper (who had believed his ruse at the time).
4 Caesar Clown Experimented On Children & Used His Own Men As Test Subjects
Caesar Clown was responsible for developing brutal bioweapons and Devil Fruits that would be given to Emperor Kaido via Doflamingo. Although this was an egregious trespass by itself, he also performed human experimentation on children in order to attempt to create an army of giants.
In addition to besmirching the name of Doctor Vegapunk and blaming him for the destruction of Punk Hazard, he also used his own underlings as test subjects for his Smiley superweapon. Given these crimes, it's evident that Caesar exclusively views others as toys to play with and torment.
3 Saint Jalmack Opened Fire On Sabo For Simply Crossing His Path
Saint Jalmack was responsible for gunning down Sabo's ship during its maiden voyage and nearly killing him. The world noble unleashed two bazooka shots against the child's vessel, sinking it to the bottom of the sea.
Sabo's minor offenses weren't worth the revenge - he simply crossed the man's path while flying a jolly roger. Considering Jalmack's disregard for the sanctity of human life (much more, a child's), it's difficult to regard him as anything except reprehensible. Even the denizens of High Town who had come to revere the World Government were shocked by his actions.
2 Charloss Executed Civilians For Petty Offenses & Attempted To Purchase Camie As A Slave
Charloss was a world noble who almost executed Zoro for walking past him and an active participant in the human slave trade of Sabaody. If not for his meddling, Nami and the Straw Hats would have been able to purchase and free Camie without stirring the ire of Kizaru and the marines.
Like most world nobles, Charloss is spoiled, incompetent, and entirely unskilled. When Luffy rose and stood against him, he was powerless to prevent a long-overdue reckoning, much to the amusement (and horror) of the Worst Generation.
1 Spandam Ruined The Lives Of Franky & Robin
Spandam was the leader of CP9 and a man directly responsible for traumatizing Robin and Franky. He casually tortured the former and used her as an accessory against her own comrades, having also ruined the life of the latter by repurposing his ships to attack Water Seven.
The villain has no interest in the concept of justice and was willing to sacrifice his own subordinates in order to preserve his reputation after the disaster at Enies Lobby. With a power level below a standard marine, Spandam is as weak as he is evil.
