The votes are in. Monkey D. Luffy has won the second ONE PIECE WORLD TOP 100 global character popularity poll — better known as WT100 — with 2,378,519 points, clinching first place in a final tally of 13,086,239 votes cast across 1,567 eligible characters. The full top 30 was revealed live at ONE PIECE DAY ’26 on Sunday 23 August, and it came with surprises: as we previewed when the event was announced, the day promised major franchise news alongside the rankings — and the numbers delivered some genuine upsets.
The Final Top 30 — and Two Midterm Upsets Worth Talking About
Luffy, Zoro (2nd, 2,148,793 pt), and Sanji (3rd, 1,399,204 pt) held the Monster Trio podium across both the midterm and the final count. The rest of the top 10, however, shifted meaningfully. Dracule Mihawk surged to 9th place with 202,744 points — he was not in the top 10 at midterm — while Crocodile (Mr. 0) climbed from 15th at midterm to 10th (201,971 pt). Both moves pushed Uta and Chopper out of the top 10, to 15th and 13th respectively.
The other big story is Carrot, who leapt from 29th at midterm all the way to 16th in the final — the largest upward move in the top 30. Nefeltari Vivi and Charlotte Cracker both entered the top 30 in the final count, replacing Rob Lucci, Bartholomew Kuma, and Charlotte Katakuri, who were in the top 30 at midterm but finished outside it. Vivi landing at 28th is a nod to how enduringly she is loved, even after her long absence from the main story.

Oda Is Drawing New “Special Outfit” Illustrations for All 30
Every character in the final top 30 will receive a brand-new illustration by Eiichiro Oda, each drawn in a custom “WT100 Special Outfit” design created specifically for the poll. The illustrations will be published as three consecutive connectable poster inserts in Weekly Shonen Jump across three December 2026 issues, fitting together into a single large artwork. The special outfits will also reach fans through merchandise at the Mugiwara Store.
Import copies of those December 2026 Weekly Shonen Jump issues will be available through the usual anime and manga import channels here in Singapore — if you want the physical posters, that is the route to watch.
Top 15 Get Anime Eyecatches, Top 50 Enter the Card Game
The rewards scale up the chart. The top 15 characters will appear as dedicated eyecatches in the One Piece anime during 2027 — brief character highlight cards that air during episode breaks. The top 50 characters are slated to become Leader Cards in the One Piece Card Game in a Summer 2027 expansion. For Singapore players who follow the card game competitively — the ONE PIECE Card Game has a real presence here across hobby shops and regional events — that means Luffy, Zoro, Mihawk, and Crocodile are all confirmed incoming Leader options to watch.
“Tell Us, Oda!!” — Fan Q&A Opens Today
Also launched at ONE PIECE DAY ’26 is a new fan Q&A programme: “Tell Us, Oda!!” invites fans worldwide to submit questions about any of the top 30 characters directly to Eiichiro Oda. Submissions open today, 23 August, and run through 30 September 2026, via the official WT100 website. Oda’s answers will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump and ONE PIECE Magazine Vol. 022.
The WT100 poll ran from 4 March to 11 June 2026, launched in celebration of ONE PIECE reaching 600 million circulating copies worldwide — the largest such milestone in the series’ history and the reason this second poll felt bigger in every way. With 30 new Oda designs incoming and a card game wave following in 2027, Luffy’s coronation at ONE PIECE DAY ’26 is the kind of result that keeps paying out for months. Keep an eye on the manga and anime feed here as those December Jump issues get closer.
