One Piece top 5 villains. My personal version

In his quest to be the "King of the Pirates", Monkey D. Luffy has come across countless evil-doers, who seek to stop his momentum, and that of many others, with whom he has had to fight in order to move forward and also help those who are oppressed by evil and the thirst for revenge.

And even though it was a really complex task, I think I managed to synthesize a pretty tight list of the 5 strongest villains he has had to face, making him think many times that he would not be able to defeat them, although obviously, being the protagonist he always comes out unscathed, but generating a lot of adrenaline in those of us who follow his exploits.

Kaido
This character is really bad. His only mission is to keep the residents of Wano under his thumb, where, along with the dictator of the moment, he has not only enslaved the population, but has also contaminated their land and waters with the toxic waste produced by the arms factories he smuggles around the world.

Its inhabitants die of hunger and thirst, and some, out of desperation, have become beings unable to show their feelings, after eating artificial Devil Fruits that have gone wrong, which they have called Smiles.

His vision is that of the authoritarian leader who only cares about his personal benefit, and who is surrounded by lackeys who seek his permanence in power. Being he a kind of "protector" of the island, against other pirates who may lurk.

Crocodrile
The evil Shichibukai, was the Leader of Baroque Works, a kind of mafia that wanted to take power in the Kingdom of Arabasta, where he had won the trust of its inhabitants by acting as a pseudo hero, although his true intentions were to overthrow Nefertari Cobra, the king of Arabasta.

Also being a user of a Devil Fruit, when his evil comes to light, the confrontations begin, in which Vivi, the king's daughter, is a key piece so that the band of the Straw Hats help them to prevent them from taking power.

Enel
For me, this has been the really most terrible villain. I confess that with him my doubts about how he would be defeated were on the surface. His participation was in the Spypea or Sky Island arc, and his intentions were really vague: he was bad ... because he wanted to.

He considered himself a god, so he justified his actions as pious acts. He was particularly "quiet" but in combat he proved to be very cruel.

Blackbeard
Although his appearances have been few, and he has not had a direct confrontation with Luffy, this character is one of the kings of the sea who really has to be taken seriously.

Ex member of the crew of Shirohige, also called the Hippopotamus (Each king of the sea is associated with an animal) had a certain appearance in the Marineford arc in which Whitebeard dies and this manages to take his power, thanks to the Devil Fruit of which he is user.

Teach is a follower of power at all costs and has no morals whatsoever to achieve his goals, even if that means going against his "friends".

Arlong
This shark was the first villain I came to despise for the terrible nature of his actions. He feels a great repulsion for humans, and after separating from the crew of the Pirates of the Sun, he decides to settle on an island he calls Arlong Park, where he enslaves humans, making them pay monthly to maintain the right to live.

And there are really many more villains throughout the One Piece plot, but this is my personal selection. Maybe there are others who are missing here and you think should be here. Let me know in the comments box.
