Recently, the cover of One Piece 1031 seems to have revealed who stands second in the top 10 strongest pirate crews of all time.
If everyone pays attention, there is something extremely interesting about the cover of One Piece chap 1031. Look closely at the characters appearing on this cover, it seems like these characters are all number 2 among the top 10 strongest pirate crews. They are all right-hand men, individuals who embody the spirit for the captain of the crew.
Let's see who they are!
1. Silvers Rayleigh is the second in command of Gol D. Roger's crew
Silvers Rayleigh is felt to be the second in command in Roger's crew. Just by looking at their names, Silvers and Gol, both in terms of strength and fighting spirit, Silvers Rayleigh is entirely deserving.
2. Benn Beckman ranks second in Shanks' crew
The Red Hair Pirates are believed to have no weaknesses, and under Shanks' leadership, they also have powerful warriors like Yasopp and Lucky Roux. However, from chapter 1, we can see that Beckman has been confirmed as the second in command in Shanks' crew, he is one of the prominent figures besides his captain, both in strength and intelligence.
3. King truly feels he is second in command in Kaido's crew
When it comes to King, many people surely feel he is the second strongest in the Beast Pirates. In terms of strength, King has shown superiority over Queen, Jack, and the Tobi Roppo. In terms of rank, King has the authority to use Kaido's name to summon the Tobi Roppo and give orders to other members in the Disaster group.
4. Charlotte Katakuri holds the position of second in Big Mom's crew
The storyline in the Whole Cake Island arc confirmed that Katakuri is the strongest child of Big Mom. Although sometimes the position of first mate seems to be assumed by Perospero, in terms of strength, Katakuri is clearly considered the second in command among Big Mom's pirate crew. He is also respected by his siblings like Brulee and other members in the crew.
5. Killer holds the second position in Kid's crew.
Killer is evidently Kid's most trusted and loyal right-hand man. As one of the members of the Worst Generation, this partly demonstrates his strength. What's notable here is Killer's willingness to sacrifice his life for his captain.
6. Marco is the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates
As we know, the commanders in the Whitebeard Pirates are all on par and equally powerful. So, Marco receiving the position of first division commander isn't just because he's the strongest among them. But in reality, from when Whitebeard was alive to after his death, Marco has always been a standout member.
7. Bepo ranks second in Law's crew
In the Heart Pirates, the most prominent figure is their captain, Trafalgar Law. In major conflicts, Law often acts alone and handles all issues himself. So while Law's subordinates are rarely marked, it's evident that Bepo is considered the second strongest. Despite his modest bounty of 500 Belly, he is known as an extremely powerful Mink warrior.
8. Roronoa Zoro holds the second position in the Straw Hat crew
As Zoro was the first member to officially join Luffy, and he often takes care of the second strongest enemy in the opposing group, many feel he is the second in command within the crew.
After Jinbe joined the Straw Hats, this second position became uncertain. Because in terms of strength, Jinbe is capable of surpassing all other members. However, Oda placed Zoro in this framework alongside Rayleigh, Katakuri, and King as if to affirm that currently Zoro truly stands only behind Luffy.
9. Shiryu is the second-in-command of the Blackbeard Pirates
Previously, many thought Jesus Burgess, the captain of the first ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, would appear on this cover, as he has always been seen as the second strongest in the crew. However, as we can see, the representative of the Blackbeard Pirates here is Shiryu. In reality, compared to Burgess, Shiryu has not shown any signs of weakness. Currently, Shiryu possesses the extremely powerful and useful Suke Suke no Mi Devil Fruit.
10. Sabo truly holds the position of second in Dragon's group
Sabo is the sole face on the cover of One Piece 1031 who is not a pirate; he is a Revolutionary Army member. Sabo's position within the group is that of chief of staff, standing above commanders like Ivankov, Belo Betty, and others.
