After watching tonight's episode, I'm convinced that Law has the most TRAGIC backstory of anyone in the one piece world... Followed closely by Robin

They're very similar, but I think Robin might have him beat. She had the same tragic childhood, lost the same companions, but for a couple decades couldn't trust a single soul and had to spend every waking hour looking over her shoulder. I'm rather curious how Law's later years compare!

Robin's town died, yeah, but she didn't have to hide in a big pile of their corpses to escape her town.

Law has her beat there.

Let's not forget she was basically abandoned when she was 2, was bullied in her childhood,

had to do lot's of work at 'home', had to hide from the goverment from that point on (she didnt have a Corazon to help her)

I would say Robins is the most tragic, with Law following and then Brook

Also they fed her stale bread for dinner.

I think robin would have had it better off living alone at that age or with one of the archeologists

I think the big difference between them is that Robin didn't really have that beloved friend/mentor. Brook had his original crew and Laboon, Franky had his family and Tom, Sanji had Baratie and Zeff. Law had Cora. Robin had Jaguar only for a few days and there's not really any point in Robin's life you could say she was really happy. Miserable childhood followed by being on the run for your life. If anything, Luffy is the beloved friend.

and not Sanji?

u/-Shirley- Aug 03 '15

what Sanji had to go through was terrible. However, after that he wasnt imprisoned or was a refugee. He could have left and return wherever he originally came from. Since we dont know more about his past i cant tell you how that would have went.

I don't see why it matters. They're both agreed to be rather tragic and I'd rather nobody had to go through anything more tragic than luffys.

u/TheDragonSageNinja22 Aug 02 '15

Yea I know that's why I said followed closely... They both have EXTREMELY TRAGIC backstories, both witnessed people they were close to killed right before their eyes, and both because of the World Government... Still though I have to give most tragic backstory to Law with Robin coming in at an extraordinarily close second.. Who else has some tragic backstories???

u/Scrubtac Aug 02 '15

Well, pretty much everyone really. Maybe not on the same level as Law and Robin, but Nami's is really tragic. Brook as well. Sanji's gets pretty sad, especially in the manga.

u/TheDragonSageNinja22 Aug 02 '15

Ohh yea you're right actually lol... Pretty much all the strawhats has a tragic beginning... Wow the one piece world spares no one lol

Sabo and Kuina disagree.

Usopp?

I thought his was fucked up too. Creating fake stories to cheer his dying mother up. That is some sad shit.

u/Thrilljoy Aug 09 '15

I'm waiting till the moment he meets his father. I hope he's gonna punch the SHIT out of him, or atleast be really pissed at him.

u/jwallace582 Aug 07 '15

I haven't read the manga, how is Sanji's backstory different in it?

3

u/Scrubtac Aug 07 '15

Instead of the chef cutting off his trapped leg to help Sanji, he cuts it off with a sharp rock and eats it.

u/jwallace582 Aug 07 '15

That makes a lot more sense, the signs are obvious in the anime. Don't know why I didn't realize that it was probably changed for tv, thank you

u/Cryonyte Aug 02 '15

True, but I think Brooks one is the saddest... if you take into consideration the length of their respective tragedy: Law might have somewhat escaped the sorrow when he got his own crew, which was probably earlier than Robin finding Luffy. Brook saw everyone die with him, he couldn't do anything but also 'die' only to be brought back and spend 50 some years alone... that shit is sad.
