Weapons and Armor in One Piece

It's the Great Age of Piracy, after all, and fighting is commonplace. Everyone, soldier, pirate, and even civilian, is expected to draw up arms when the time comes to fight for what one believes in. Some use their blades and pistols to plunder and others use it to protect. And then you have people who just want for themselves to live and for their interests to be fulfilled. Whatever the reason a person takes up his or her weapon, it's just more fun for us, right?

Here you'll find a listing of what weapons, armor, and offensive tools characters use. There may or may not be pictures to see but I guarantee we'll have information here. Let's begin with the obvious candidates: The Strawhats.

The Straw Hat Pirates: Index of Weapons

Luffy

Fishman Swords: Used against Arlong; the swords of the fallen Fishman Hatchan were utilized as a distraction to break Arlong's teeth
Candle Lock: Used in the Little Garden melee; when Luffy's limb was bound by Mr. 3's Candle Lock, he used it to smash through the other wax items of the Officer Agent
Golden Ball: A large golden ball that Enel had melted and stuck to Luffy's hand during their battle at Skypeia.

Zoro

Wado Ichimonji: a.k.a. "Straight Road to Peace"; Kuina's sword; worth 10,000,000 Beli; one of the 21 Oo-Wazamono; wielded in Zoro's mouth
Sandai Kitetsu: a.k.a. "Third-Generation Demon Splitter"; a cursed sword from a long line of famous blades; acquired at Loguetown (free of charge); possesses a mind of its own, strikes what it wills struck; one of the Wazamono
Yubashiri: a.k.a. "Snow Run"; finest sword in Ippon-Matsu's store, given free of charge; light and agile, easy to wield; one of the 50 Ryo-Wazamono
Katana: Nondescript katana wielded from Zoro's introduction to his fight with Mihawk; apparently not spectacular in any way
Cleavers: Swords of Yosaku and Johnny, given during the battle at Arlong Park; blades curve widely at the slashing ends, hence my term "cleaver"; returned after the fight

Nami

See also: Nami's Weapons

Tri-section Staff: Three-part rod, can be broken down and stored for easy use; made of a material to resist swords but still hampered by Nami's weak physical strength
Clima Tact: Developed by Usopp, a three-part rod that controls the weather; each of the three sections generates a force of nature (heat, cold, and electricity); Nami discovered most of its use on her own, since Usopp never realized what he'd created
Perfect Clima Tact: Developed by Usopp after the trip to Skypiea, a follow-up to the original; divided into three sections with spheres as separators; due to the influence of Dials it is much more efficient, but also more unwieldy
Impact Dial: Used in the battle at Going Merry in Skypiea; Nami utilized an Impact Dial on Gun Fall's gauntlet to defeat the tag-team of Hotori and Kotori; stores and releases damage, heavy feedback

Usopp

See also: Usopp's Toolbox

Slingshot: A simple slingshot, able to load and release ammo of all sorts; Usopp's primary weapon until after Water Seven
Cannons: Used to fight off Marines or just for good old target practice.
Usopp's Pouch: Stores many unique objects, from Dials to ammo and even a grappling hook
Work Hammer: A light hammer used to bash enemies and build tools
Rubberband: Hardly a threat (or should they even be considered a weapon?), used to make his enemies flinch.
Five-Ton Hammer: Supposedly a five-ton bludgeon; basically two frying pans on a stick
Dials: Gifts from the Skypieans, capable of a variety of functions; known Dials he has include the Impact Dial, the Flash Dial, and the Breath Dial
Kabuto: The giant peashooter, a staff with a large slingshot on one end; may well have been adapted to use Dials

Sanji

Pistol: Used once to attack Miss All-Sunday
Cooking Knives: Wielded against Wanze on the sea train.

Chopper

Rumble Ball: Medicine that induces a brainwave alteration, used to create new forms with the Devil's Fruit

Robin

Knife/Dagger: Used in attempt to assasinate Crocodile.
Pistols: Used to subdue Iceburg, wielded with multiple arms
