One Piece: Top 7 Laziest Characters in the Anime Series

Essential Insights

Roronoa Zoro: Known for his penchant for naps and love for sake, yet remains a formidable swordsman.
Aokiji: His philosophy of ‘lazy justice’ enriches his character complexity.
Big Mom: This slothful Yonko swathes herself in sweets while allowing her children to do the fighting.

The charm of One Piece lies in its vast array of unique characters, each meticulously crafted by author Eiichiro Oda. While the series boasts hundreds of figures, every character brings distinct traits and quirks to the narrative, which includes several who exhibit notably lazy tendencies.

Lazy traits affect not only pirates but also warlords and marines, showcasing characters more inclined to relaxation than duty. Below, we explore several of the most prominent characters within the One Piece universe who embody these laid-back characteristics.

7. Roronoa Zoro

Zoro’s Napping Habits Are Unmatched

First Appearance: Episode 1

Roronoa Zoro, a powerhouse of the Straw Hat crew, is also recognized as the most lethargic member. When not honing his swordsmanship, Zoro is often found dozing off or enjoying rounds of sake with friends. Interestingly, his remarkable skills allow him to sense threats even in slumber, as demonstrated when he instinctively dodges Kaku’s attack.

While Zoro’s laid-back demeanor contrasts with his readiness to support Luffy on demand, his affinity for rest and beverage imbues him with a relaxed spirit that distinguishes him from his more active crew members.

6. Aokiji

Aokiji’s ‘Lazy Justice’ Enriches His Depth

First Appearance: Episode 225

Aokiji, one of the series’ Admirals, embraces what fans refer to as ‘lazy justice.’ Although he takes down threats as dictated by the Government, his personal moral compass sometimes leads him to sidestep orders, as seen when he spares Nico Robin. This moral ambivalence adds layers to his character.

Beyond his justice philosophy, Aokiji is also depicted as laid-back, often seen napping or appearing unmotivated during confrontations.

5. Big Mom

Big Mom Prioritizes Sweets Over Battles

First Appearance: Episode 571

Big Mom’s insatiable appetite renders her a notably lazy Yonko. Her primary focus often lies in consuming sweets rather than fighting herself, as evidenced during the Whole Cake Island arc where she leisurely hosted a tea party while allowing her crew to handle the battles.

Though she commands the largest army among the Yonko, her complacency only shifts to aggression when threatened, illustrating how her gluttony can lead to dangerous outbursts.

4. Kaido

Kaido’s Power Allows Him to Take It Easy

First Appearance: Episode 739

Kaido’s introduction reveals a character so powerful that he appears to seek death purely out of boredom. Labeled as ‘un-killable,’ he possesses immense strength, yet often displays tendencies to avoid involvement in conflicts, relying instead on his subordinates.

His penchant for alcohol adds to his laid-back persona, often leading him to delegate defenses of Wano to his crew while only taking action when absolutely necessary.

3. Gecko Moria

Moria Leverages Zombies for His Own Convenience

First Appearance: Episode 343

When the Straw Hats encounter Gecko Moria in Thriller Bark, they find a warlord comfortably lounging, seemingly unconcerned about the invasion. His ability to create an army of zombies via the Kage Kage no Mi grants him the luxury of delegating tasks while he relaxes.

Moria’s laziness is further highlighted as he limits his participation until his minions begin to falter, at which point he reluctantly engages in battle.

2. Kizaru

Kizaru Takes Action Only When Necessary

First Appearance: Episode 398

Despite his speed and light-based abilities, Kizaru is surprisingly laid-back, often frustrating his more zealous fellow admirals. His capacity to attack foes without much movement itself reinforces this relaxed demeanor.

By conserving energy, Kizaru can return to the tranquil environment of Marine HQ after conflicts, exemplifying his preference for minimalist effort.

1. Enel

Enel’s Haki and Lightning Powers Enable Effortless Domination

First Appearance: Episode 167

Proclaiming himself the god of the Sky Islands, Enel possesses formidable lightning abilities and advanced Observation Haki, allowing him to eliminate opponents effortlessly from any location. His lack of urgency to protect his followers and ability to revive himself grants him the ultimate laziness in the face of conflict.

Even in defeat by Luffy, Enel opts for retreat to the Moon rather than engage further, embodying the concept of a truly lazy god.
