7 Rob Lucci
A CP0 agent with strong ties to the underworld
Rob Lucci is currently a member of CP0, the most powerful Cipher Pol under the command of the World Government. Lucci ardently believes in Dark Justice and, as a result, does not believe in forgiveness or second chances.
Rob Lucci has worked with Cipher Pols his entire life. All these organizations operate in secret and have access to all kinds of information. So it's no surprise that Lucci knows about the Underworld. In fact, he became a broker, so he knows a lot of high-profile people.
6 Kaido
Purchased many illegal items from brokers
Kaido was known as the strongest creature in the world, which is why everyone tried to stay away from him. His mere presence could cause trepidation, and this gave him a huge advantage over his enemies.
Kaido is among the few One piece characters who can use advanced versions of all three types of Haki. Additionally, he had access to the Uo Uo no Mi, Pattern: Seiryu. The Devil Fruit allowed him to transform into a dragon that could easily cover the skies above Kuri. Kaido firmly believed that waging war was the right thing to do as it gave people the opportunity to be equal. Before starting a full-scale war, Kaido dealt with Doflamingo, who provided him with artificial Devil Fruits, which were used on the lower-ranking members of the Beast Pirates.
5 Crocodile
He was strong with the underworld
The Crocodile was the main antagonist of the Alabasta arc. He was motivated by the desire to gain more power, which is why he decided to throw Alabasta into disarray so that finding the Ponegylph would be easy.
The crocodile ate the Suna Suna no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, giving him the power to control the sand at will. He can use the devil fruit to drain the moisture from a person's body, leaving them severely dehydrated. Before the founding of the Cross Guild, Crocodile was involved in dealings with the Underworld.
4 Mother Carmela
A broker involved with the Marines and Cipher Pol
Mother Carmel was introduced as part of Big Mom's backstory. She met young Linlin, who was abandoned by her parents. At first glance, it seemed that Mother Carmel was a kind and caring woman, but the reality was that she lacked both of these things.
Mother Carmel was a mob fixer who worked with the World Government. His job was to find promising individuals and sell them to the world government and other organizations for a ridiculous amount of money. If Linlin had not gone on a rampage, it is very likely that Carmel would have sold her to the Marines and, eventually, the young girl would have become the admiral of the fleet.
3 Morgan
The man who checks the documents
Morgans is known for his role as president of the World Economy News Paper. His epithet is Big News, which suits his personality as he is the first person to break major news to the entire world. Morgans is a rather mysterious character, as he always keeps his Devil Fruit form active. Because of this, his true identity is still a complete mystery.
Aside from his role as president of the World Economy News Paper, Morgans is also an emperor of the Underworld. This means that he holds great authority within the union. He has multiple connections, which would explain how he can obtain top secret information so easily.
2 Great Mom
Well-known figure in the underworld
Big Mom was the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. She reigned as Queen of the Land of Totto and her goal was to create a kingdom where all races could exist in harmony without fear of persecution.
Big Mom was a powerful individual who knew how to use Haki to the highest level. He also possessed the Soru Soru no Mi, a devil fruit that granted complete dominion over souls. Although she was primarily a pirate, she did not hesitate to dabble in the affairs of the Underworld. This was evident from his Tea Party, which included many prominent members of the Underworld.
1 Donquixote Doflamingo
The most famous broker in the underworld
Donquixote Doflamingo is, without a doubt, one of the best One Piece villains. Even though he was introduced before the timeskip, he didn't have the opportunity to display his full powers until the Dressrosa story arc. Many people knew him as the king of Dressrosa, but he was a much more complicated individual.
Doflamingo was a famous Underworld broker who went by the name Joker. As a broker, his job was to procure the different items his clients needed. Most of his dealings were with Kaido, who wanted artificial Devil Fruits for his army. Given his influence in the Underworld, it is likely that Doflamingo had other famous clients.
