One Piece's first villains are Shanks contrasts.
Some fans view many of One Piece's first villains as being relatively lackluster, but they actually all share an important thematic connection to Shanks. Mangaka Eiichiro Oda loves to create parallels and contrasts between the characters in his series and this is shown clearly in the East Blue Saga. Viewing One Piece's early villains through this lens will hopefully help fans appreciate them more.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Shanks is one of the earliest important One Piece characters introduced, being present from the manga's very first chapter. He had an incredible influence on Luffy's goals and worldview, as he was the only pirate captain that Luffy knew well as a child. He also saved Luffy's life from a gigantic sea beast, sacrificing his arm to do so.
One Piece's Early Villains Are All Shanks' Exact Opposite It is in relation to this heavy influence that the purpose of One Piece's early villains becomes clear. Alvida is the first pirate Luffy meets, and she is basically the complete opposite of Shanks, being a vain and evil captain where the red-haired captain is humble and kind. The marine Axe-Hand Morgan also lost a hand just like Shanks, but he felt the need to replace it with a weapon.
These connections to Shanks help shape both how Luffy and the readers view the world of One Piece. Alvida reveals that not every pirate is as kind as Shanks. Axe-Hand Morgan shows that not every authority figure in One Piece cares about others and also that the way in which Shanks handled his injury is not normal. And Buggy shows that Shanks actually is much more special than he seems.
Many fans view these characters, especially Alvida and Axe Hand Morgan, as being too shallow, and this is a valid complaint. But this issue stems from the purpose of these characters being to provide an extreme contrast instead of a three-dimensional figure. Hopefully, by taking this perspective, One Piece fans critical of East Blue's antagonists can appreciate these characters and their relationship to Shanks a little more.
