Risking life and liberty
Bon Clay may not be a main character or have a lot of screen time, but he is certainly one of the most faithful characters to grace Luffy's life. After teaming up at Impel Down, Bon Clay showed his loyalty to the Straw Hat captain by repeatedly risking his life when Luffy was dying.
His great sacrifices are irreplaceable, but nothing compares to the fact that the Imitator sacrificed not only his life but also his freedom. The moment when Bon Clay is shown impersonating Magellan to help Luffy escape will forever be remembered for being both tear-jerking and heart-wrenching.
6 Pedro sacrificed himself
A final act of faith
After Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, Pedro could be the next leader of the Minks. But because of his belief in Monkey D. Luffy, a person with such great potential, Pedro did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for his belief.

Brook defeats Moria and becomes a member of the team; unfortunately, shortly after that, the team split for two years, although Brook had been a member for a few months.
During these years, Brook achieved great stardom as the Soul King, a rockstar. However, instead of continuing to enjoy the fame and money, Brook gave it all up to a team that he had not been a part of for a few months.

Zoro's quiet confidence
The Straw Hats' three swordsmen who suffered from their captaincy are still talked about for their legendary status. Luffy is known to take a lot of damage after a fight, but no one knows exactly how he died from his injuries. That is, of course, until Zoro leaves.
At that moment, Zoro offered his life and his wishes to the captain, saying that his wishes were meaningless if the captain died. To make his incredible feat even cooler, Zoro never complained or talked about it, ending all questions about what happened with “Nothing happened.”

In the end, their persistence paid off, but it wouldn't have been possible without their strong commitment to the cause.
1 Endure torture to protect Samurai
Sacrifice of the Nation
The Minks may be the biggest show of loyalty yet One piece series. While Jack tormented the All-Star pirates of the Beast day and night, he willingly tortured men, women and even children and experienced the death of their loved ones.
