The Four Emperors have an absolute presence in One Piece. What would happen if the Straw Hat Pirates were subordinates to different Four Emperors? Osamu Manga boldly imagined how each individual's personality would affect the Four Emperors' personalities and organizations!


Chapter 1: Luffy - Blackbeard Pirates' Trump Card


If Luffy were a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, his innocent personality would clash with Blackbeard's cunning and cause turmoil within the pirate crew. However, Blackbeard would highly value Luffy's powerful fighting ability and would make him his "strongest fighting member." I can see the other executives having a hard time thinking about Luffy, the only one in the Blackbeard Pirates who behaves freely.


Chapter 2: Zoro - Shanks' Swordsmanship Instructor


If Zoro becomes a subordinate of Shanks, his passion for swordsmanship will burn even more. We can imagine him honing his skills while competing with Shanks, and growing into a stronger swordsman than he was in the Straw Hat Pirates. Also, Shanks' gentle personality may soften Zoro's impulsive side, and a bond like that of a master and disciple may be born. We can also imagine the two of them getting drunk together at a drinking party!


Chapter 3: Nami - New Executive of the Big Mom Pirates


In Big Mom's pirate crew, Nami will reunite with Zeus, who has the power of the weather, and will play an active role as an even stronger "weather user". Big Mom, who appreciates Nami's intelligence, may assign her to an important mission as an "information gathering specialist". Nami herself wants freedom, so we can see her planning a strategy behind the scenes under Big Mom, while aiming to leave the crew someday.


Chapter 4: Sanji – Working as a chef in Kaido’s army


If Sanji joins the Beast Pirates, he will likely gain the trust of the meat-loving Kaido and become the “legion’s personal chef”. However, he is fed up with the violent behavior of Kaido and Jack, and there are also scenes where he plots to change them from within. Furthermore, he may be judged to be “too good to be a fighter” and given a senior rank by Kaido.


Chapter 5: Chopper – Whitebeard Pirates’ medical officer


If Chopper joins the Whitebeard Pirates’ medical team, he will save many comrades, including Whitebeard, with his genius medical skills. His pure personality is a perfect match for the family atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates, making him a beloved presence for all the captains. Chopper’s appearance on the battlefield alongside Ace and Marco is likely to be brave and reliable.


Chapter 6: Usopp – The Blackbeard Pirates’ “Topic Maker”


If Usopp joins the Blackbeard Pirates, he will likely be in charge of creating topics with his rich imagination. He will spread stories that further incite Blackbeard’s fear, and play an advantageous role in the psychological warfare. On the other hand, he may be in a position of an “insider” who is frightened by Blackbeard’s methods and secretly plans to leave the group.


Chapter 7: Robin – Big Mom’s Knowledge Repository


Robin will be tasked with deciphering the poneglyphs that Big Mom possesses, and will play a central role in the pirate crew as the “guardian of knowledge”. However, Robin’s calm personality will often rebel against Big Mom’s forceful methods. In the midst of this, I can see Robin secretly using Mom’s information network to accomplish her own goals.


Extra: Franky – The shipwright of the Shanks Pirates


If Franky joins the Red Hair Pirates, he will be absorbed in further strengthening Shanks’ ship and equipping it with new weapons. Franky has achieved his dream of "building the strongest pirate ship" under Shanks, and we can imagine him forming new bonds with his fellow crew members in the Red Hair Pirates.


Summary: The world of the Four Emperors is full of new possibilities!


If the Straw Hat Pirates were to become subordinates of the Four Emperors, their personalities and abilities would be further refined and new stories would be born. Their relationships with the Four Emperors and the conflicts within them would surely make them even more fascinating.
