Others were simply unimpressive from the get-go and never did anything significant. These Worst Generation members flopped quite hard and they will be remembered for their failures for quite a long time.
5Basil Hawkins
A pirate from the North Blue, Basil Hawkins played a great role in the story in the post-timeskip. He was one of the many antagonists that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates faced in the Wano arc. There, it was revealed that Hawkins was one of the Headliners of the Beast Pirates. He didn’t manage to impress any fans in the arc and, as the story continued, his lack of strength became more apparent. Hawkins felt incredibly out of place in a country of monsters and he could not even best the number two ofother captains of the Worst generation.
Although he certainly had impressive abilities up his sleeve, Hawkins ended up failing terribly and was eventually defeated by Killer in the Onigashima War. From there onwards, his fate remains unknown, however, it is highly likely that he has already died. Overall, his character was quite impressive at the beginning and his ability was certainly more than entertaining. However, in the end, he ended up flopping.
4X Drake
Drake was also a member of the Worst Generation, although, in his case, he wasa actually member of SWORDwho wanted to infiltrate the Beast Pirates and send intel to the Navy. He posed as a powerful pirate for quite a while and was certainly impressive even in the early parts of Wano. However, as the story progressed, Drake and his weakness were exposed. He was easily defeated by Queen after his betrayal was found out in the Onigashima War.
To make things worse, he then engaged in several fights, managing to impress in none of them. Even against the CP0, Drake and ended up failing terribly and, overall, his time in Onigashima was marked with failure. His plot was found out and his fate remained unknown. It remains to be seen if he is alive or already dead, however, it doesn’t matter all that much because, at the end of the day, his entire character was marked with failure.
3Eustass Kid
Eustass Kid is a character that definitely splits opinion among fans. While he was a very powerful pirate, Kid was never all that impressive, to begin with. In Wano, he wanted to kill Kaido but ended up settling for Big Mom. Even in the fight against Big Mom, he could not do anything on his own and had to rely heavily on the help that Law offered him. What’s even worse is that even with help, he was not able to properly defeat Big Mom. All the two could manage was to throw her off the island and she ended up sealing her own fate when she dropped nukes on herself.

Kid definitely received a very respectable bounty of 3 billion berries, however, he certainly did not deserve it, given that Luffy holds the same bounty and he best a Yonko on his own. His true level was exposed when he engagedin a second battle with Shanksand was wiped out with a single swing of his sword. Kid, along with his entire pirate crew, was sent to the bottom of the ocean. Regardless of how high his bounty was and how great his exploits were prior to this, for a man aiming for Pirate King, being defeated in a single sword strike was certainly more than just failure. As a Worst Generation member, he definitely ended up flopping.
2Killer
Killer was the right-hand man of Kid and also a very powerful pirate in his own right. He was involved in the battle of monsters atop Onigashima in Wano, however, he did not manage to impress there at all, managing to land just one attack on Kaido which barely scratched him. Later on, he engaged in a fight against Hawkins, where he did exceedingly well and defeated him soundly.
However, right after this arc, he was completely crushed by a one-man army in Shanks. What’s extremely embarrassing is the fact that the attack that completely defeated Killer was not even aimed at him. This was a strike that was aimed at his captain, Kid and it was so powerful that Killer ended up taking damage from it as well and was completely knocked out. The Giants did the rest and sent Victoria Punk, along with the entire crew, to the bottom of the ocean. As the right-hand man of a pirate worth 3 billion berries, to be defeated by an attack that isn’t even aimed at you is utterly shameful.As a Worst Generation member, Killer also flopped.
1Scratchmen Apoo
By all means, Apoo is the biggest flop in the entirety of Worst Generation. He jumps from one crew to another and definitely does what he can to live, however, he has no pride as a pirate and, what’s even worse is that he has never received even one significant victory in his entire pirate life.
In the grand scheme of things, Apoo is extremely insignificant and only used as a tool to move the plot forward. He is not a proactive character and he will never be that. He’s definitely a major Worst Generation flop and fans will most likely be disappointed by him in the future once again.
