The insane powers and abilities inOne Piececreate a huge debate among fans on who is better than who. One of these underrated abilities is speed and we have some amazing candidates like Sanji, Kizaru and even Luffy himself in his Gear 5 form. However, one person we and even Oda forget all the time is Lucky Roux, the chef of the Red Hair Pirates, who is often considered the left-hand man for Shanks.
The man is always associated with the Red Hair Pirates and is one of the most notorious pirates for the World Government. His appearance might fool people but he’s a capable combatant and manyOne Piecefans consider him the fastest character in the series.
It might sound unrealistic to call him the fastest person inOne Piece,given that Kizaru hasthe literal ability to control light and become light with the Pika Pika no Mi. However, we love underdogs in theOne Piececommunity and Lucky Roux is too underrated to pass up. His gun skills make him insanely overpowered in a world full of Devil Fruits.
Lucky Roux Is Faster Than We Realize inOne Piece
Lucky Roux might be a fun-loving guy and he is, but he’s also part of an Emperor’s crew while being a high-ranking member, often considered the left-hand man. He also had the first confirmed kill inOne Piecein the Romance Dawn Arc where he shoots a bandit trying to harm Shanks. It happened in such a flash that fans believe this is one of the coolest moments inOne Piece.It was an incredible introduction to the pirate life we’d witness throughout the series but also the power of the Red Hair Pirates who are loyal to their captain.
One Piece: Eiichiro Oda’s Massive Shanks Revelation Seemingly Confirms He’s the Aizen of this Story
There’s also the possibility that Lucky Roux is a reference to the fictional cowboy character, Lucky Luke, who is known as“the man who shoots faster than his own shadow.”Many fans truly believe he’s based on him as their gun skills are equal and in the previously mentioned scene with the bandit, he wasn’t even noticed by anyone.
While there’s no confirmation he’s the fastest man inOne PiecebyEiichiro Oda, his abilities beyond his gun skills are incredibly quick. Lucky Roux even invented a ridiculous but powerful ability called Self-Bowling where he can curl into a ball and then get tossed around by an ally. He even possesses Armament Haki which only enhances his abilities. Does this hint at his status as the fastest person?
The Fastest Person inOne PieceMight Be Impossible to Determine
Kizaru might be the only valid contestant for the title of the fastest man alive but without his Devil Fruit, he’s just a Marine in a weird yellow striped suit. Even his physical abilities all rely on being enhanced by his Devil Fruit powers. Still, you’re able to’t argue with the speed of light.
“Just because he cried over his friend killing”: It’s Hightime One Piece Fans Accept They Were Wrong About Kizaru After His Fight With Luffy
In terms of people without Devil Fruits, Sanji and Lucky Roux are on equal grounds with no real way to understand who could be faster unless Oda does pitthe Straw Hats against the Red Hair Pirates. Lucky Roux is certainly the fastest Red Hair Pirate whereas Sanji still has Luffy to compete against.One Piecemight still introduce an even faster character in the future so who knows?
