Many people who aren’t dead are misunderstood to be gone for good. Oda seldom depicts character deaths in One Piece.
When a character’s death has little bearing on the plot, Oda will not kill them off. Despite the widespread belief to the contrary, the cast of One Piece is very much alive.
According to a report published on the Greenscene website on February 12, 2023, the following One Piece characters were previously reported dead but have since been discovered to be very much alive.
Pell
The Nefertaris can always rely on Pell to watch out for them. The Nefertaris is the current reigning family of Alabasta. The Nefertari family is being plotted against by Baroque Works and Crocodile. To that end, he made an effort to put a giant bomb in Alabasta. There was no way to defuse the enormous bomb, and the Straw Hats and Nefertari were helpless to do so. Then, with nowhere else to turn, Pell removed the massive bomb from his domain. A subsequent bright flare indicated the device had detonated. The supporters were worried for Pell’s life. Nonetheless, Pell mysteriously returned with a bandaged body.
Wiper blades
The Straw Hats’ adventures with Wiper, a member of the Shandia tribe, continue from where they left off in the Sky Island arc. This particular Wiper is a Shandia who fought alongside Luffy against God Enel. Enel’s tribe has been working to defeat it. During his battle with Enel, Wiper relied on the Reject Dial to block Enel’s blows. This Enel method messed with the windshield wipers. Wiper’s death was widely mourned by his devoted following. It seems he survived and returned.
Roronoa Zoro
Roro had numerous near-death experiences. The incision from Dracule Mihawk didn’t kill Roro, nor did Daz Bones’ strike. Zoro is resilient enough to cope with the ache of his injury. Kuma shifted the suffering to Zoro’s physical form. According to popular belief, Zoro has passed away. Zoro, however, has returned with numerous wounds.
Moria the Gecko
The conflict in Marineford was prompted by directives to attack Gecko Moria. Doflamingo encountered Gecko and handily dispatched him in this encounter. All of this is predicated on the assumption that Gecko has passed away. Strangely, Gecko shows up in the story in search of his team. Eventually, Blacbead invited Gecko Moria to come along for the ride.
Bon Clay
This former agent of Baroque Works was previously Luffy’s nemesis. But Bon Clay and Luffy had already become friends before snapping into Impel Down to rescue Ace. The protagonist of the story, Bon Clay, is prepared to die to protect Luffy. Those who followed Bon Clay were convinced he had passed away. Then Bon Clay made another appearance, suggesting that he would be taking over for Emporio Ivankov.
