The characters we’ve seen in Oda’s One Piece are truly amazing. They are diverse, intriguing, and – in most cases – loved by fans. On top of that, they are – generally – very well-written characters whose stories are always fun to explore. And that is what we are going to do in this article. Namely, One Piece fans have been introduced to a commander of the Revolutionary Army named Karasu and one of the creepiest characters in Oda’s lore. In this article, we will introduce the creepy commander to you and tell you just how strong he is in the world of One Piece.

Karasu is a supportive character in Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga and anime. He is originally from North Blue and is known as the North Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army. Not much is known about Karasu at the moment, but he has participated in some battles so far and has proven his worth as a formidable foe to everyone he’s faced.

The rest of this article will be about Karasu, his backstory, and his role in the world of Oda’s One Piece series. We will introduce you to his history and current story, how it developed, and tell you where Karasu is now and what he is doing in the current arc of the manga. This article will contain some spoilers, so if you’re not fully up-to-date with everything, you have been warned.

Karasu is one of One Piece‘s most intriguing mysteries

Karasu was born somewhere in North Blue, but very little is known about him. When he grew up, he joined the Revolutionary Army, becoming one of its commanders, specifically the North Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army. When we first see him, one of his crows delivers a newspaper to the revolutionaries present at Tequila Wolf for Robin to read about their captain. When Sabo, Koala, and Hack finish their mission in Dressrosa, Karasu joins them and escorts the Chief of Staff to the ship, where they then leave the island.

While traveling to Momoiro Island to attend an important meeting of the Revolutionary Army, Karasu, and three other commanders reach the Lulusia Kingdom, which is in a panic due to Peachbeard’s crew. The four then take on the attackers and easily defeat them; Belo Betty invites citizens to claim the bounty on Peachbeard and to contact the revolutionaries should they need to.

Finally, the commanders leave to reach their destination. Later, he reaches the Red Line together with Sabo, Morley, and Lindbergh and, under the soil of Mary Geoise, discusses with them how to rescue Bartholomew Kuma from his current slave situation.

On the fourth day of the Levely, therefore, the four revolutionaries destroy the Hoof of the Flying Dragon in the residential district, so Ryokugyū and Fujitora face them. However, they still manage to free Bartholomew Kuma and then escape. Sabo then separates from the others. When Karasu, Lindbergh, and Morley reach Momoiro bringing Bartholomew Kuma with them, they report that Sabo is still alive, although they don’t know what he really did after they separated. However, he claims to trust the boy.

At that point, a Den Den Mushi nearby starts ringing, and Koala replies: it’s really about Sabo. During the call, the latter pleads his innocence of killing Cobra and is about to say something about the empty throne when the signal cuts off. A few days later, while Lindbergh is repairing Bartholomew Bear, the latter suddenly gets up and starts running, getting up every time after falling. The revolutionaries then wonder what’s wrong with him, but the cyborg heads elsewhere using his powers.

He is powerful, but we don’t know how powerful from a comparative standpoint

Karasu is a tall, strong, bald man with a loudspeaker feature that he rarely uses because he always speaks in a low tone. He also has a metal beak-like mask covering his face. He has a belt around his neck, dark slacks, and a coat with dark feathers that exposes his chest.

In general, it has a crow-like appearance. Karasu is a very quiet person who typically speaks inaudibly, so he needs to activate the speaker function on his mask for people to hear him. The angry veins that rise in his forehead when Peachbeard questions him suggest that he doesn’t like it when people respond poorly to his mumblings.

As a senior officer in the Revolutionary Army, Karasu plays a major role in the organization, and as the leader of the Northern Army, he has command over all of its members. According to reports, Karasu consumed an unidentified species of Devil Fruit that endows him with the ability to change his appearance into a group of crows.

He is also notable for his ability to simultaneously take all of the swords belonging to the Peachbeard Pirates while in this form. The average-sized person may be carried on the back of each Crow, and Karasu appears to be able to deliver newspapers to the other Revolutionaries. Karasu can communicate while he is in his crow form. Karasu possesses the ability to use Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

As far as Karasu’s powers are concerned, we know he is powerful. He fought the Peachbeard Pirates, and they won; sure, the Peachbeard Pirates are not the most powerful lot you’ll find in the series, but they aren’t really Usopp either (we’d say the seals, but the seals beat the crap out of Usopp, so there’s that).

He also, along with his fellow commanders, fought Ryokugyū and Fujitora, and while they did not defeat them, they did not lose either and were able to rescue Kuma from his slavery. This all points to the fact that Karasu is probably a very powerful character. We don’t know the full extent of his powers, especially his specific Devil Fruit, so we cannot really properly compare him to other characters, but we do know that he is powerful. Sabo is also a commander, like Karasu, and we know that Sabo is exceptionally powerful – especially after consuming a Devil Fruit – so in that aspect, we assume that Karasu is somewhere near that level of power, which means that he is definitely strong.

Karasu is, as you can see, a specific and interesting character. Because the Revolutionary Army will have a bigger role in the final saga, we can probably expect to see more of him in the future. We have confirmed that he is a powerful and very specific character due to his personality and specific abilities.

But he also has an important role in the Revolutionary Army, which is why we will probably see more of him. As a commander of the Revolutionary Army, Karasu is – despite his brief on-screen appearances – an important character, and we do not doubt that you will be interested to see what he has to offer, just like we are. This article briefly introduces the character and his role in the story, but we assume that there is more to come.
