One Piece's Warlords share a common trait.
One Piece's Warlords of the Sea are a set of extremely powerful pirates that the Straw Hats encounter on the Grand Line, but a hidden clue hints at their true purpose. This isn't the only time that mangaka Eiichiro Oda has hidden key elements of a character in a subtle clue. However, rarely does he classify a whole group of characters with one small detail, which is impressive even for him.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Before the time skip, the Warlords were some of One Piece's most powerful villains. In fact, Dracule Mihawk, the most dangerous swordsman in the world, was the Straw Hats' first exposure to the power level they would encounter later on their journey. Another warlord Crocodile would then become the Straw Hats' first major antagonist after East Blue.
One Piece's Warlords Are All Named After Animals All the warlords except Jinbe are named after an animal. These animals sometimes match up with their personality and abilities, such as Mihawk having hawklike eyes and Doflamingo being dressed like a flamingo, but they often don't correlate with anything specific. That is fine, as this naming scheme represents their status as pawns of the World Government, being akin to mere animals in that organization's eyes.
Interestingly enough, while these animal names represent the Warlords' obedience to the World Government, it also hints that they aren't perfect tools. None of the animals that the Warlords are named after can actually be domesticated, meaning that the hold of the World Government on the Warlords isn't perfect. Indeed, many of the Warlords end up acting in defiance to the Government, most notably Crocodile and Doflamingo.
With the Warlords no longer a thing, only their names serve to remind audiences that all the original Shichibukai used to be on the same side ostensibly. But while the meaning of their names is now less important, it still shows how intentional some of Oda's names can be. This lesson can then be applied to the names of some of One Piece's more recent characters to generate even more theories about the roles those figures will play in the manga's final saga.
