While the majority of the weapons are modern, there are three weapons in One Piece that have existed for numerous centuries. These are known as Ancient Weapons, and they were most likely made by the Great Kingdom. Since the World Government has erased almost all evidence of their existence, it is almost impossible to learn about them, but there are a few exceptions.

8 Nico Robin

Learned By Deciphering The Poneglyphs

Nico Robin is the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates. When she was a kid, Robin learned how to decipher the Poneglyphs. It proved to be a curse, as she was hounded because of it. Nico Robin learned about Pluton while she was in Alabasta. Then she discovered Poseidon's existence in Skypiea.

When the crew traveled to Fish-Man Island, Robin uncovered more information related to Poseidon by reading the Poneglyph and talking to Neptune. Toward the end of the Wano Country arc, Kozuki Sukiyaki told her that Pluton was buried deep beneath Mt. Fuji.

7 Monkey D. Dragon

Has Ample Knowledge About The World

One Piece's Revolutionary Army Supreme Commander

Monkey D. Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Originally, he worked with the Marines but decided to leave after seeing the corruption within the organization. Dragon started the Freedom Fighters, which were rather peaceful and didn't use any drastic measures. The Ohara Massacre acted as a life-changing event for Dragon, and it led to the formation of the Revolutionary Army.

One Piece fans can expect great things from Wit Studio's remake of their beloved series.

In the Final Saga, Dragon could be seen talking to Ivankov and Sabo about the Ancient Weapons. It is highly likely that Dragon learned about them after leaving the Marines. However, it is unclear whether he knows about the location of any of the three.

6 Kozuki Sukiyaki

Knew About The History Of Wano

Kozuki Sukiyaki can read Poneglyphs

Kozuki Sukiyaki is the father of Oden and the grandfather of Momonosuke and Hiyori. After the takeover by Kaido and Orochi, Sukiyaki was forced to remain in the shadows to protect himself. Following Luffy's victory over Kaido, he got the chance to reveal his identity to Robin.

She told him that she was aware of Pluton's location. Sukiyaki reaffirmed it by disclosing that the Ancient Weapon was indeed located in the old Wano, which was now submerged underwater. It is very likely that Pluton will be used once Momonosuke decides to open Wano's borders.

5 Neptune

Aware Of Almost Every Secret On Fish-Man Island

Neptune is the ruler of the Ryugu Kingdom, which is located on Fish-Man Island. He is a kind and generous man who cares about his subjects and family. He is willing to go to any length to save them from potential harm.

Neptune knows about Shirahoshi's powers to control the Sea Kings. He is aware that his daughter is Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons. Due to this reason, Neptune is often worried that people hungry for power will bring Shirahoshi harm.

4 The Five Elders

Have Control Over Every Single Piece Of Information

One Piece - Five Elders Next To Akainu To Show Height

The Five Elders are second in the chain of command of the World Government. They were introduced fairly early in One Piece, but there was almost no information available about them. As the story has progressed, it has become increasingly clear that they are among the main villains of the story.

They are also aware of the Void Century and what exactly happened during that time. So, it's obvious that they are informed about the Ancient Weapons as they even tried to steal the blueprints of Pluton from Tom. After the initial failure, they sent CP9 undercover to take the blueprints.

3 Imu

Has Lived Through Centuries

Imu is the true leader of the World Government. They are the descendant of the Nerona family, which was among the 20 founding members of the whole government. Imu's existence is hidden from the rest of the world, so there is almost no one who knows that they occupy the empty throne.

According to Ivankov, Imu underwent the immortality operation, which has enabled them to stay alive through the centuries. It is highly likely that Imu's order saw the Ancient Weapons being used and, to get something similar, ordered the creation of the Mother's Flame.

2 Tom

Had Blueprints Of Pluton

Tom was a shipwright who mentored Franky and Iceberg. When he was alive, he was considered the best shipwright in the entire world. Tom's carpentry skills allowed him to create the Oro Jackson, the ship of Gol D. Roger.

Tom had the blueprints for Pluton, and he kept them safely locked away to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, the World Government got a whiff of it and decided to use every tool in the locker to get them. But Tom did not divulge anything and kept them hidden, after which they were placed under the protection of Iceburg.

1 Franky

Learned About Pluton's Existence From His Mentor

Franky one piece characters know about ancient weapons

Franky may seem like an eccentric character, but he is among the smartest individuals in One Piece. Years prior to the current timeline, Franky served as an apprentice to Tom.

At one point, Tom showed both Franky and Iceburg the blueprints of the Pluton. The two pupils were taken aback after seeing the designs of the Ancient Weapon. It is very possible that Franky might build Pluton in the future.
