25 Best Anime Supervillains Of All Time

For any show to have lasted more than 850 episodes, it requires outstanding and engaging characters to keep the punters coming back, and One Piece delivers on both sides of good and bad.

One such unforgettable crook on the evil team is the aptly named Crocodile, who’s the main antagonist during the Alabasta Saga, leader of the criminal organisation Baroque Works and is one of the few people in the series ever to defeat Luffy - and he did so twice.

Crocodile’s Devil Fruit powers also allow him to change into sand, which makes him nigh impossible to defeat for a time in the show. It’s also his actions and how he uses those powers that demonstrate to us early on how evil he is, like killing one of his own men for a modest mistake.

And that’s without mentioning he’s got a ruddy great bad-guy gold hook for a hand, just one ridiculously cool-looking character from this beautifully drawn anime.
