Shichibukai, gelar lengkapnya adalah Oka Shichibukai (王下七武海, Ōka Shichibukai^?, secara harfiah berarti "Tujuh Pejuang Kerajaan (Laut)"), adalah kelompok yang terdiri dari tujuh bajak laut yang kuat dan terkenal yang telah bersekutu dengan Pemerintah Dunia.

Sebagai sebuah kelompok, mereka adalah salah satu dari Tiga Kekuatan Besar yang menjaga keseimbangan dunia. Namun, setelah Reverie terbaru, negara-negara anggota Pemerintah Dunia memilih untuk membubarkan organisasi, mengakibatkan lima anggota yang tersisa pada saat itu menjadi bajak laut yang dicari dan musuh kepada Pemerintah Dunia sekali lagi.

Penampilan

Shichibukai sebelum Perang Whitebeard.

Shichibukai adalah aliansi tujuh perompak yang berubah menjadi prajurit untuk melayani Pemerintah Dunia. Meskipun mereka bekerja untuk Pemerintah Dunia, Shichibukai sendiri biasanya tidak peduli atau menghormati Pemerintah (tidak termasuk Bartholomew Kuma, yang kemudian dimodifikasi menjadi boneka mereka) atau bahkan Shichibukai lainnya, dan sering dianggap oleh Marinir tidak berbeda dengan bajak laut lainnya. Di sisi lain, mereka dikenal sebagai "anjing pemerintah" dan dihina oleh bajak laut lainnya, tetapi masih ditakuti dan dihormati karena reputasi dan kekuatan mereka yang terkenal yang mereka dapatkan sebelumnya, dan bahkan setelah mereka menjadi Shichibukai.

Shichibukai tampaknya merupakan campuran dari Yonko  yang lebih kacau dan marinir yang lebih teratur. Mayoritas Shichibukai terdiri dari veteran New World, mereka yang telah bertemu dengan Yonko atau bahkan berperang melawan mereka.

Ada rentang yang sangat besar dalam hadiah antara anggota karena perbedaan keadaan di mana mereka direkrut, dengan Edward Weevil, yang memiliki bounty 480,000,000, dan Blackbeard, yang tidak punya bounty sama sekali.

Perlu dicatat bahwa ini adalah karunia mantan mereka, dan tidak mewakili ancaman saat ini yang bisa mereka capai sebagai bajak laut aktif. Bounty Jinbe, misalnya, melonjak dari 250,000,000 menjadi 438,000,000 setelah pengunduran dirinya. Contoh lain adalah Crocodile, yang, dengan bounty 81,000,000, dipenjara di Level 6 dari Impel Down, sementara Luffy dengan bounty 300,000,000 pada saat itu hanya ditempatkan di Level 5.

Istilah-istilah yang digunakan Shichibukai dengan satu sama lain digambarkan sebagai sangat tidak stabil. Mereka memiliki sangat sedikit (jika ada) rasa hormat satu sama lain dan sebagian besar tidak akan menerima bantuan satu sama lain, tampaknya karena rasa bangga yang tinggi. Selama pertemuan Shichibukai di mana hanya dua anggota yang absen (Hancock dan Jinbe), dinyatakan bahwa gagasan mereka bekerja bersama sebagai sebuah tim sama sekali tidak terpikirkan. Namun, Kuma dan Doflamingo tidak mengabaikan gagasan bersekutu dengan Shichibukai lain: Kuma menawarkan bantuan Moria dalam mengalahkan Topi Jerami dan Doflamingo menawarkan Crocodile peluang untuk kemitraan. Kedua tawaran itu ditolak karena bangga.

Selama kunjungan Boa Hancock di Level 6 Impel Down, Jinbe menyatakan bahwa dia tidak tahu banyak tentangnya, mungkin menyarankan bahwa hanya beberapa Shichibukai yang akrab satu sama lain atau bahkan secara pribadi telah bertemu dengan semua anggota lainnya. Meskipun demikian, semua Shichibukai (termasuk mantan) diperkenalkan sebelum pertarungan timeskip pada perang antara Bajak Laut Shirohige dan Marinir.

Sebagian besar Shichibukai memiliki sikap letih dunia, karena pengalaman mereka yang luas telah mengecewakan mereka.

Crocodile dan Moria sama-sama mencela perilaku Luffy yang sombong, mengatakan bahwa dia terlalu berpengalaman untuk mengetahui seperti apa dunia ini sebenarnya; Mihawk berperilaku serupa dalam duelnya dengan Zoro, meskipun ia berharap bahwa ia akan sukses. Doflamingo, dimanjakan oleh warisan Naga Langit sebelumnya dan dipelintir dengan disiksa berulang kali setelah itu, percaya bahwa tidak ada keadilan sejati di dunia, dan bahwa baik Marinir maupun Bajak Laut bodoh jika mereka berpikir bahwa mereka menjunjung tinggi itu. Hancock, melalui pengalamannya yang mengerikan sebagai budak, menganggap semua pria di dunia ini buih, di luar Luffy, dengan siapa dia jatuh cinta (dan siapa pun yang Luffy berteman baik dengan); Rayleigh, yang merupakan "dermawan" nya; dan Fisher Tiger,yang bertanggung jawab untuk membebaskannya dari perbudakan. Karena telah menyaksikan penindasan, penderitaan, dan perbudakan rakyatnya oleh umat manusia, Jinbe pernah merasa jijik terhadap mereka. Meskipun menganjurkan penyebab kerja sama antarspesies dan kesetaraan, Jinbe dengan jujur mengakui bahwa dia ambivalen tentang apakah keputusannya benar. Blackbeard percaya tidak ada yang namanya keadilan di dunia. Hukum percaya bahwa yang lemah tidak memiliki hak untuk memilih bagaimana mereka mati atau harus ditinggalkan jika dianggap sebagai kewajiban. Weevil percaya bahwa dugaan warisan darahnya adalah apa yang membuat keluarga sejati, bukan melalui ikatan persahabatan. Buggy percaya bahwa hanya emas, perak, dan permata adalah satu-satunya hal yang dapat dianggap sebagai "harta".

Hubungan

Most Shichibukai seem to have only limited knowledge of each other, such as Jinbe never meeting Hancock before her visit to Impel Down. However, some others, such as Doflamingo and Crocodile, converse as though they are familiar with each other. In fact, Doflamingo is knowledgeable of Kuma's participation in the Pacifista program, yet does not know of his past relationship with the Revolutionaries. During these interactions, most of them are hostile, such as Jinbe and Crocodile snarling at each other over matters with Whitebeard.

At times, however, they might be courteous, such as Kuma offering to help Moria in fighting against the Straw Hat Pirates, though the latter angrily refused. Law used to be Doflamingo's subordinate, but eventually, after joining, Law openly betrayed and blackmailed his former superior to resign from the Shichibukai, threatening not just the man but the balance of the seven once again.

Has used his power to make Marines fight each other for his entertainment. Former ownership of the Human Auctioning House may have had some impact on the justice system, but apparently not enough to lose his position.

None known

Yonko	Stole a Marine ship with his crew, using it to break into Impel Down, attacking the prison guards in the process and severely injuring its Warden, Magellan.

Gecko Moria	Former captain of an unknown crew that was massacred by Kaido. Former master of Thriller Bark and Mysterious Four.	Abduction of civilians and Marines, plus the inconvenience inflicted by the theft of their shadows, was troublesome. His defeat against Monkey D. Luffy risked causing a global uproar if it had not been covered up. Didn't care whether which side of the war won, but thought that Whitebeard's death would be a treat. He used the corpses and shadows of Marines to make zombies and to power himself up. After the war, Doflamingo and the Pacifistas attacked him and drove him away, claiming that the World Government decided to disown him due to his weakness.	Despises Kaido for the massacre of his old crew, and still bears emotional trauma. He created his army of zombies specifically to get revenge on Kaido. Took the shadow from Lola, one of Big Mom's daughters. Found joy in the prospect of Whitebeard's death. Attempted to kill Little Oars Jr. to make him one of his zombies.
Boa Hancock	Former World Noble slave. Captain of the Kuja Pirates. Empress of Amazon Lily and the Kuja tribe. Loyal to Monkey D. Luffy and is his self-proclaimed lover.	She despises the World Nobles for what they did to her and her sisters. Initially refused to live up to her title as Shichibukai and fight Whitebeard. Accepted to fight Whitebeard only because this allowed Monkey D. Luffy to rescue the important prisoner Portgas D. Ace (unknown to the World Government). Even though she agreed to fight against Whitebeard, she has made it clear that the Marines are not her allies by attacking without any prejudice both pirates and Marines alike during the war. Openly assisted Luffy by striking commodore Smoker and destroying some Pacifistas. She even declared Luffy as her beloved, and then again in Sabaody Archipelago she helped him and his crew escape from the Marines. Official actions have yet to be taken against her position.

Riwayat Singkat

Istilah Shichibukai pertama kali disebut oleh Yosaku saat menjelaskan peran Jinbe yang secara tidak langsung turut melindungi keeksisan Bajak Laut Arlong. Di masa lalu, Jinbe ditawari status Shichibukai dengan jaminan pengampunan bagi seluruh krunya. Memanfaatkan status Shichibukai Jinbe, Arlong lalu membangun kekaisaran sendiri di East Blue tanpa campur tangan pihak Angkatan Laut. Selanjutnya Boa Hancock yang direkrut pemerintah setelah aktivitasnya bersama Bajak Laut Kuja menimbulkan reputasi yang menakutkan. Portgas D. Ace pernah ditawari menjadi Shichibukai saat reputasinya sebagai kapten Bajak Laut Spade melambung namun ia menolaknya. Shichibukai pertama yang muncul dalam cerita yaitu Dracule Mihawk bertanggung jawab menghancurkan armada Bajak Laut Don Krieg seorang diri. Armada Krieg yang memiliki 50 kapal dengan 5.000 anak buah hanya mampu bertahan di Grand Line selama tujuh hari, sebelum diusir paksa Mihawk. Luffy dan kru topi jerami harus berurusan dengan Shichibukai Crocodile setelah ikut terlibat mengantar kepulangan Nefertari Vivi ke Arabasta. Bukan itu saja, Luffy dan kru berperan besar menggagalkan usaha Crocodile bersama Baroque Works merebut kerajaan Arabasta dan mengalahkan mereka semua. Saat tiba di kota Mock di pulau Jaya, kru topi jerami secara tidak langsung telah berkonfrontasi dengan Donquixote Doflamingo setelah Luffy mengalahkan Bellamy. Pemerintah Dunia lalu mengadakan pertemuan antara pihak Angkatan Laut dengan Shichibukai untuk membahas kekalahan Crocodile di Mariejois. Sengoku cukup terkejut saat tiga Shichibukai; Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote Doflamingo dan Dracule Mihawk, berkenan hadir. Pertemuan itu sendiri diinterupsi dengan kedatangan Laffitte yang datang menominasikan kaptennya Marshall D. Teach untuk menggantikan Crocodile. Blackbeard lalu berhasil mendapatkan status Shichibukai setelah mengalahkan komandan ke-2 Bajak Laut Whitebeard, Portgas D. Ace dan menyerahkannya kepada Angkatan Laut. Bartholomew Kuma datang ke Thriller Bark dengan mengemban misi pemerintah menginformasikan pengangkatan Blackbeard kepada Gekko Moriah. Ia juga dikirim untuk mengantisipasi ketakukan pemerintah yang tidak ingin kehilangan satu lagi Shichibukai nya, sejak kedatangan kru topi jerami ke pulau itu. Ketakutan pemerintah terbukti benar, Moriah dan krunya dikalahkan kru topi jerami. Kuma lalu diperintahkan untuk menghabisi semua saksi, mencegah tersebarnya kekalahan Moriah di mata dunia. Meski mengiyakan, namun Kuma memilih untuk melepas kru topi jerami karena hubungannya dengan Monkey D. Dragon ayah Luffy. Saat kembali ke Mariejois, Kuma membohongi Sengoku dengan mengatakan jika mereka berhasil melarikan diri.

Kuma kembali berurusan dengan kru topi jerami saat membantu mereka menyelamatkan diri dari serangan laksamana Kizaru dan Sentomaru di Shabaody. Luffy sendiri dikirim pergi ke tempat Shichibukai lainnya, Boa Hancock di Amazon Lily sedangkan Zoro dikirim ke kediaman Mihawk di pulau Kuraigana. Pemerintah lalu memanggil semua Shichibukai untuk membantu Angkatan Laut yang akan berperang menghadapi Bajak Laut Shirohige dalam upaya eksekusi Portgas D. Ace. Laksamana madya Momonga tiba di Calm Belt dekat pulau Amazon Lily dan berusaha membujuk Boa Hancock agar ikut berperang. Hancock akhirnya setuju meski ia punya maksud tersembunyi menyelundupkan Luffy ke dalam Impel Down. Sementara itu, Shichibukai Jinbe terang-terangan menolak melawan Shirohige sehingga ia dimasukkan ke dalam penjara Impel Down. Dengan penolakan Jinbe, tinggal enam Shichibukai yang bersedia membantu Angkatan Laut. Sementara mereka bersiap menghadapi perang, Blackbeard bersama krunya tiba-tiba meninggalkan Marineford dan pergi menyerang Impel Down untuk merekrut beberapa tahanan. Saat perang akan dimulai, tinggal lima Shichibukai yang berdiri dalam barisan; Dracule Mihawk, Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah dan Boa Hancock. Setelah perang berakhir, gelar Shichibukai Gekko Moriah dicabut karena dianggap terlalu lemah dan berpotensi mencoreng reputasi Shichibukai. Doflamingo yang ditugaskan langsung pemerintah, mengklaim jika ia telah menyelesaikan tugas menyingkirkannya. Dua tahun kemudian, Trafalgar Law berhasil menjabat status Shichibukai setelah mempersembahkan 100 jantung bajak laut kepada pemerintah. Ia kemudian membentuk afiliasi bersama Monkey D. Luffy untuk melawan seorang Yonko Kaido.
