The Ultimate Ranking of One Piece's 15 Most Memorable Moms!

In the realm of One Piece, every character has a mother who plays an essential role in their journey or origin story. While the specifics may differ, the rule of every human being born with a mother is generally upheld in this fictional world. Consequently, we’re diving into discussing some remarkable mothers from One Piece, as we present to you a carefully curated list of the 15 best mothers in this captivating universe, arranged based on their significance and the impact they have on the storyline.

15. Didit

As a devoted cinephile, I find myself immersed in the grandeur of a fictional kingdom nestled on the Isle of Dawn, specifically Goa. Here, I play the role of Didit, a noblewoman who embodies the materialistic values synonymous with her station. Like other nobles, I am deeply entrenched in the social hierarchy and class systems that govern our realm.

My husband is Outlook III, a man of power and influence, and together we share a life filled with luxury. However, our family is complex, for I am not only Didit, but also the mother of Sabo and adoptive mother to Stelly. Despite this, my relationship with Sabo remains strained, as I often find myself questioning his capabilities, much like Outlook III does. This disdain for Sabo has become a constant undercurrent in our household dynamics.

In numerous episodes of Sabo’s life, Didit often advised and showed him the path of nobility. She suggested that he should marry a noble princess to make their lives less challenging and more joyful. However, when Sabo was attacked by a royal prince wielding a weapon, Didit displayed greater concern for the safety of the young royal than herself.

Due to the persisting attitudes of Didit and Outlook III, Sabo decided to abandon his family home and settle in Gray Terminal instead. Upon his eventual return home, Didit coldly welcomed Sabo, making a comment about his unpleasant odor, and then introduced him to Sterry – his newly adopted, younger sibling.

14. Kozuki Toki

Toki appears kind-hearted, as she sent her son and followers into the future without apparent concern. Moreover, she doesn’t seem to be afraid of death. However, Toki has dated many people for reasons unclear to us, but she frequently found herself in dangerous situations with individuals harboring ill intentions. When she eventually discerned their true character, she felt remorseful for her naivety and wished she had seen it sooner. Instead, she stood up to them courageously.

Toki’s personality shares similarities with her daughter, Hiyori, as both are known for revealing secrets at will and showing strong emotions. It is also worth noting that Toki appears to have a dream of visiting Wano, which causes concern for Oden and Edward Newgate, who had recently departed when they first encountered her.

13. Doflamingo’s Mother (unnamed)

She adored her husband Homing deeply, so much that she chose to embrace a life alongside humans with him. Moreover, she nurtured her offspring by motivating them to eat. Thirty-three years prior to the current narrative, they both requested to be demoted from their roles as World Nobles. Their plea was granted, and they reverted to their human form, despite many viewing them as turncoats among their peers.

They relocated to a northern nation, beyond the jurisdiction of the World Government, along with their two sons. She aspired for a simple, content life, but was oblivious to the locals’ animosity towards the World Nobility. Subsequently, she and her family experienced persecution from the citizens. Their home was destroyed, compelling them to escape. Living in destitution, they were evicted and tormented. Eventually, she passed away due to an illness.

12. Scarlett

Scarlett, originally known as Riku Scarlett, served as Rebecca’s mother and wife to Kyros. In Rebecca’s memory sequences before she stepped into the Colosseum arena, Scarlett makes an appearance. Born as the eldest daughter of the Riku Family, she was Viola’s older sister and held a significant position within the family. Furthermore, she was a princess of Dressrosa, specifically the first-born one. Her love for her daughter was profound, to the extent that she risked her life to provide food for Rebecca. She instilled in Rebecca the belief that causing harm to others is not right. This likely explains why Rebecca never intentionally harms anyone during her battles at Corrida Coliseum.

11. Dr. Kureha

Dr. Kureha, who resides on Drum Island, is 141 years old and has earned the nickname “witch” from some individuals.

1. His unique approach to injury assessment is aggressive: For instance, she intentionally utilizes her medical techniques on sensitive spots, which can be uncomfortable for patients, as Chopper uses a method similar to anesthesia by knocking them out.

2. The third point is that she claims to be 141 years old. This is one of the reasons she’s described as such. However, her solitary nature is another reason: She dislikes being referred to as “old” or a “witch,” and typically responds to such comments by physically attacking the offender, often throwing them across the room and kicking them.

Frequently, Kureha initiates a discussion by inquiring if the person she’s speaking with is curious about the mystery behind her ageless appearance. It appears that Kureha is quite accustomed to imbibing, given her habit of having a bottle of plum sake nearby at all times.

10. Makino

As a movie reviewer, I’d rephrase it like this: In Fuschia, I, the narrator, find myself at Partys Bar, owned by the delightful Makino. A warm and nurturing woman, she’s found her passion as a bartender, forming a special bond with Hoop Slap, Shanks, and Luffy. Over the years, she’s been like a protective big sister to Luffy, always acknowledging his potential when he was just a child. He made a promise to her that once he discovered treasure, he would settle his tab. Now, watching Luffy rise to become a renowned pirate brings her immense pride, not just for him, but as a symbol of the village’s growth and success.

9. Nefertari Titi

TiTi, known as Nefertari Cobra’s spouse and mother to Nefertari Vivi, was once the regal queen of the Kingdom of Alabasta before her demise. Similar to her daughter, TiTi possesses blue hair, dark eyes, and a lithe physique. She was often depicted adorning royal garments. A picture in the palace of Alabasta captures her with her hair styled in a bun, accompanied by golden earrings.

In a striking resemblance, Tweety closely mirrors her mother’s likeness, leading King Nefertari Cobra to almost confuse Vivi for the late Queen Nefertari Titi during an official event. Throughout her life, Queen Nefertari Titi ruled over Alabasta as wife to King Nefertari Cobra. Tragically, she gave birth to Vivi but passed away when Vivi was very young, and the reason for her death remains a mystery.

8. Banchina

As a movie enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: Growing up, my mom – Banchina – was married to Yasopp and gave birth to Usopp. Unfortunately, she passed away from an illness when he was just a lad. Despite her own struggles, she encouraged Dad to chase his dreams and set sail with Shanks. However, due to her ailment, she couldn’t provide the care I needed, leaving me bedridden most of the time. In an attempt to keep her spirits up and speed up her recovery, I spun tales every day that Papa had returned to take us away on his adventures.

Despite her expectation that he wouldn’t come back, she confided in Usopp before his demise that she was content with his sea voyage. Long after he passed away, Usopp persisted in spinning the same tall tale, even without a motive, to ease the emptiness that plagued him. It was following her death that Usopp started developing into quite the liar, as we know him today.

7. Nico Olvia

22 years ago, Nico Olvia served as an archaeologist and was also Nico Robin’s loving mother. Tragically, she lost her life during the Buster Call on Ohara. She was Oran’s younger sister, Roji’s sister-in-law, and Mizuira’s aunt. Due to her ancestors’ duties and her late husband’s wishes, Nico Olvia had to leave her young daughter, Robin, behind when she was only 2 years old. In essence, Nico Olvia is the mother of Nico Robin.

After her husband’s demise during an exploration, she accompanied archaeologists on a quest for knowledge about a forgotten era and gave little Robin, age 2, to her brother and his spouse. Six years later, when Robin was 8, Olvia revisited Ohara. She informed Professor Clover that the other archaeologists had either been imprisoned or killed during this time.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: We managed to obtain their research logs, which ultimately revealed the residences of the remaining scholars. After a brief and heart-wrenching conversation with Robin, I found out that our fates were already sealed – Spandine had given the order for the Buster Call before we even spoke again. With heavy hearts, Olvia asked me to take Robin far from Ohara, hoping to save her life. Alas, both Olvia and all other scientists of Ohara perished in the Buster Call.

6. Otohime

Queen Otohime, a mermaid of golden origin, ruled over Ryugu Kingdom, being married to Neptune and mother to Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, and Shirahoshi. Displaying a progressive mindset, she actively fostered understanding between the Fish-Man folk and humans. She emphasized their common connection under the same sun, advocating for tolerance when encountering Fishman Island inhabitants. Furthermore, she demonstrated mastery in Haki, a potent skill.

Due to her ability called Kenbunshoku Haki, which lets her sense a person’s intentions and actions, she felt that physical distance symbolized emotional detachment and created barriers between individuals as long as their hearts were apart. To bridge this gap, she found it more meaningful to meet people in person and converse directly, rather than giving speeches through intermediaries. This approach helped bring the royal family and their subjects closer together.

Her deep concern for her people’s wellbeing led her to disregard her own wounds, acting selflessly for the greater good by apprehending a burglar personally. Her dedication has won her admiration among the citizens of Fish-Man Island. She was also seen as caring and influential, demonstrated when she tried to reform the burglar, encouraging him to surrender to the authorities. Regrettably, many residents were not receptive to the improving relationship between Fish-Man and humans.

Despite achieving great success, she continued to persevere without questioning the idea of coexistence. She was also quite elegant, going so far as to escort a World Noble to the surface to demonstrate that the surface need not be feared by her people. Her emotions seemed to shift rapidly, and she had a tendency to be somewhat meticulous and fastidious.

5. Curly Dadan

Curly Dadan is a close acquaintance of Monkey D. Garp, acting as the surrogate mother to Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy, and Sabo. Upon his birth, Garp placed Ace under Dadan’s care, and later left Luffy with her as well. Dadan resides on Mount Corvo in proximity to Fushia village. She leads the Dadan Family mountain outlaws and has a criminal record that earned her a wanted status.

In the aftermath of the Enies Lobby arc, Dadan was brought up when Hoop Slap announced that Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, had engaged in a conflict against the World Government. Initially, Dadan resisted Luffy’s presence as she was grappling with her own struggles following Ace. However, Garp persisted and she found herself unable to deny him. At their initial meal together, Luffy wasn’t fond of Dadan due to past encounters with a villain named Higuma, showing his displeasure by sticking out his tongue at him.

As time passed, a strong bond developed between them. When Dadan stepped in to protect Luffy and Ace from Bluejam, Luffy felt deeply concerned for her wellbeing. Before setting off on his pirate journey, Luffy smiles and expresses that he detests mountain bandits but cherishes Dadan and the other bandits. Following Ace’s demise, Dadan encouraged Luffy to stay strong because she considered him crucial. Having been entrusted with her care by Garp, Dadan rarely displayed affection towards her. In fact, she became fearful of having another child brought about by Garp.

She appears knowledgeable about Ace’s relationship with Roger, yet she appeared determined to maintain her friendship with Garp while concealing this knowledge. Dadan, despite appearing angry when Ace came close to harming those who threatened his legacy, held a deep affection for him. This was evident as she publicly scolded Garp for failing to save Ace at Marineford. However, despite her initial displeasure at Sabo’s arrival at her home, she was greatly surprised when Ace and Luffy informed her about the rumors of Sabo’s disappearance.

4. Vinsmoke Sora

Queen Vinsmoke Sora ruled over the Germa Kingdom, being married to Vinsmoke Judge and mother to Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji. While expecting her sons, she consumed a drug intended to counteract their genetic alterations. Unfortunately, the medication didn’t work as planned, and the procedure was successful for Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji; this left Sanji as the only one with natural human emotions.

She held him dear, cheerfully consuming his less-than-perfect culinary creations and labeling him as the “world’s greatest child” while weeping with happiness. In response, Sanji cherished her deeply and chose to pursue a career as a chef in her honor, upholding her tradition of compassion. It was also clear that she held her daughter close to her heart. Reiju would often visit her before her passing due to her illness. Moreover, he occasionally shared stories about Sanji with her.

3. Bell-mère

In the Arlong Arc, we learn that Bell-Mère was the adoptive mother of both Nami and Nojiko. Sadly, she passes away during this storyline, witnessed by her daughters. Due to financial constraints, she could only afford treatment for her daughters but not herself. Nami first mentions her as they part ways from Baratie, and she is then shown in a flashback during the Arlong Arc.

Fervently devoted to her two adopted daughters, Bell-mère was a brave soul and a selfless mother, always ready to put herself in harm’s way to protect them. Her honor was of great importance to her, so much so that she would rather face death than utter a falsehood. Despite not sharing blood ties with her daughters, the fact weighed heavily on her heart, causing her to distance herself from Nami and ultimately reject her entire family.

Despite the circumstances, she held a deep affection for them and made immense sacrifices for her daughters, going so far as to subsist on nothing but fruit in order to ensure they had enough to eat. Yet, she loved them both dearly, almost as if they were her own children. This selflessness led to her ultimate sacrifice, feigning that Nami and Nojiko were indeed her daughters rather than pretending ignorance of their existence.

2. Charlotte Linlin / Big Mom

As a devoted admirer, I’ve picked up whispers suggesting that Linlin is orchestrating her children’s weddings to strengthen her crew – apparently, they don’t have much say in the matter. What’s more, it seems that many of them have resigned themselves to this fate, as they once harbored dreams of marrying freely but those hopes now seem distant due to Linlin’s unyielding nature. Yet, even with all these obstacles, Laura bravely pursued her heart and chose a husband she admired, leading her to depart from the New World for him.

As a dedicated cinephile putting it in my own words, I’d say: “I myself vouch for Linlin, as she’s never harmed any of her kids – at least that’s what I was led to believe. However, during one of his outbursts, Linlin, in a moment of confusion, didn’t recognize Charlotte Muscat as her 16th child. Tragically, Charlotte lost his life when he stood in her path. To make matters worse, she harbors deep resentment towards her daughter, Laura. The reason being that Laura once escaped, thereby preventing Linlin from sealing a vital political marriage which could have given her the edge over the other three Yonkou and earned her the title of Pirate Queen.

1. This political union would have given him a connection with the Giants, a formidable military power. She’s determined to eliminate Laura, going so far as to threaten to hire an assassin if she learns her whereabouts. Charlotte Pudding is one of Linlin’s most cherished children, appreciated for her exceptional acting abilities. She spoiled her 35th daughter to the point that Charlotte became somewhat monotonous in her eyes.

2. By entering into this political partnership, he would have gained a powerful alliance with the Giants, a military force. She is dead set on having Laura eliminated, even suggesting she’d hire an assassin if she discovers where she resides currently. Charlotte Pudding is one of Linlin’s favorite children, praised for her remarkable acting skills. She indulged her 35th daughter excessively, finding her a bit dull as a result.

3. Through this political union, he would have secured an alliance with the Giants, a strong military force. She plans to get rid of Laura, going as far as promising to hire an assassin if she locates her. Charlotte Pudding is one of Linlin’s favorite children, admired for her excellent acting skills. She overindulged her 35th daughter, finding her a bit uninteresting in the process.

4. By forging this political bond, he would have acquired an alliance with the Giants, a powerful military force. She intends to eliminate Laura, going so far as to threaten to hire an assassin if she locates her. Charlotte Pudding is one of Linlin’s favorite children, lauded for her superb acting abilities. She pampered her 35th daughter excessively, finding her a bit dull.

5. This political union would have given him an alliance with the Giants, a formidable military force. She wants Laura dead so much that she’s willing to hire an assassin if she finds out where she is. Charlotte Pudding is one of Linlin’s favorite children, appreciated for her exceptional acting skills. She spoiled her 35th daughter so much that she found her a bit boring.

Regardless, Pudding remains steadfast in her allegiance to her mother. They both harbor a mutual enthusiasm for brutality, taking pleasure in the upcoming destruction of the Vinsmoke Family during the ceremony. Unlike many of her offspring, Linlin does not nurture or instill moral values in them (other than promoting their cruelty).

Big Mom tolerated Charlotte Anana using a knife to disfigure her stuffed animals, ignoring the objections of her other children who believed it was wrong to encourage violent or psychotic actions. However, Big Mom’s favorite children were not immune from her cruelty. For instance, when Pudding was young, Big Mom made fun of her third eye and suggested she conceal it. Additionally, she is prone to reminding them of their low status whenever they inconvenience her; for example, when Katakuri attempted to attack Luffy before Big Mom did, she scolded him like a weak child and reprimanded him before he had a chance to explain his actions.

1. Portgas D. Rouge

In simple terms, Portgas D. Rouge is the biological mother of Ace, formerly known as Gol D. Roger’s girlfriend, and the first female character in the manga with an initial “D.” She was a fearless and resolute woman who clearly had strong maternal feelings. She was prepared to give up her life for her child. Prior to Roger’s death, she was pregnant with Ace and subsequently traveled to Baterilla in South Blue.

For over twenty months, she bore Ace within her, determined as steel, to shield him from Marines seeking revenge on Roger’s son. They aimed to kill him and conceal Ace’s ties to the deceased Pirate King. However, the relentless strain of prolonging her pregnancy took its toll, and she succumbed to exhaustion shortly after delivering her son.

Due to her selfless act to safeguard him from the World Government, Ace expresses that he is indebted to his mother and not to his “worthless” father. Consequently, he chooses Portgas as his last name. In the manga, Portgas D. Rouge’s face is partially hidden in Chapter 550 with black concealing it, but in Chapter 551, her face and complexion are clearly shown.
