Updated on Jun 22, 2025, by Rei Penber:One Piece is currently in the final saga, and this segment of the story is the most intense of all. Of course, this is where the strongest and the fiercest of fighters will make their presence known, and of course, that means higher stakes, and more danger that every character has to come up against. Naturally, fans are going to see quite a few deaths in One Piece’s Final Saga, even though Oda doesn’t like killing off his characters too much. In fact, After the timeskip, Oda has been killing off a lot of his characters. While this list already goes over every dead One Piece character after the timeskip, there are others that now need to be added to the list, especially after the War of Onigashima, and the Egghead Incident in the New World.
