* As the crew quickly get Zoro onto the Going Merry to treat him, Luffy stands there looking at his friend shock. He starts blocking out Usopp and Nami's voices, with Nami being forced to yell to snap Luffy out of it.

* Usopp in the original manga and anime was delighted to hear Luffy knew his Dad, Yasopp, and a bit of his pirate life. But in this version Usopp is visibly hurt when Luffy gushes about his time with him, as it's a reminder that he never came back and had to deal with his mother's death by himself, and now Usopp has confirmation his dad was having a great time while this was happening with another kid besides his own, who sees him as a hero.

** Luffy has no family besides Garp, who put him through hellish training and feels it’s his own fault Shanks lost his arm.

* Unlike the manga, Merry doesn't survive Kuro's attack. As a result, the Going Merry was named as a DueToTheDead.

Yes, this live-action version of ''One Piece'' manages to be just as emotionally devastating as its manga and anime counterpart.

** Luffy has no family besides Garp who put him through hellish training and feels it’s his own fault Shanks lost his arm.

* Helmeppo gets a very small one - after [[AbusiveParents Morgan backhands him]], he scrambles to his feet and looks visibly hurt as Morgan praises Zoro and says he'd make a good Marine.

--->"Luffy... ''help me''..."

* Usopp's CryingWolf antics come back to bite him when no one believes his story that Kaya's staff are pirates, but unlike the manga Luffy and Zoro are incapacitated and Nami is unaware of the danger, meaning that Usopp is even more alone than he ever was before.
** What's worse is that he doesn't have the Usopp Pirates in this continuity. He's truly alone.
--->'''Usopp:''' (''quietly breaking down'') The pirates are here... they really are... why won't anyone believe me?

'''Zeff''': Quittin' is stayin' here!

* The ending of Episode 7 is certainly the [[DarkestHour saddest the show has gotten yet]]. Nami was despised by her village and especially her sister Nojiko for joining Arlong right after he killed their mother Bellmere. And unlike the manga, Nami never confided her reasons to Nojiko and the village, so there is no OpenSecret about Nami's true intentions; they actually believe she betrayed them for Arlong and truly ''hate'' her. Nami is only forced to come clean when Nojiko finds the hiding place for the money she intended to pay Arlong for the village's freedom, which just so happened to be next to their mother's grave. All Nojiko can do is ask why Nami didn't tell her the truth, expressing that she genuinely hated her sister for seemingly turning her back on their mother and their village.

* Like the manga, each of the Strawhats had a rough childhood:

** After the money is taken by the Marines, we get Nami racing to the Village only to collapse midway, knowing she can't stop Arlong from destroying her home. In anger, she slowly starts repeating Arlong's name before taking a knife and stabbing her arm repeatedly, intending to rip the tattoo apart before being stopped by Luffy. When he refuses to leave her, Nami's tough act slowly but surely breaks, sounding as if she's on the edge of breaking completely.

* Nami, panicking before Zoro's duel with Mihawk, desperately begs him not to fight because he's her friend. Chafed from her perceived lack of faith in his strength, he retorts that "[[ArmorPiercingResponse You don't have any friends]]." The palpable pain on Nami's face at this rejection looks like she would've preferred being ''slapped.''

* The ending of Episode 7 is certainly the DarkestHour of the show. Nami was despised by her village and her sister, Nojiko, for joining Arlong right after Bellmere's death. Unlike the original, Nami never confided her reasons to her and the village, so there is no OpenSecret and they actually hate her. When forced to finally tell the truth to Nojiko being caught red-handed in the hiding spot of her money, Bellemere's grave, all Nojiko can wonder is why she didn't tell her as she expresses to Nami she genuinely hated her for years for this seeming betrayal of their mother.

In anger, she slowly starts repeating Arlong's name before taking a knife and stabbing her arm repeatedly, intending to rip the tattoo apart before being stopped by Luffy. When he refuses to leave her, Nami's tough act slowly but surely breaks, sounding as if she's on the literal edge of breaking completely.

** Luffy has no family besides Garp who put him through hellish training and feels it’s his fault Shanks lost his arm.

* Episode 5 begins with a younger Luffy building a raft and showing it to Garp. Angry that Luffy is still thinking of being a pirate, Garp tears the raft apart and tells him that he will be a Marine whether he likes it or not. The finale's following line then implies that Luffy's TrainingFromHell isn't quite as PlayedForLaughs as it was in the Enies Lobby Arc.

** While Luffy is confident that Zoro will wake up, it's clear he's doing whatever he can to stop himself from spiraling into guilt from rambling to Sanji and to cleaning Zoro's blades.

* The ending of Episode 7 is certainly the DarkestHour of the show. Nami was despised by her village and her sister, Nojiko, for joining Arlong right after Bellmere's death. Unlike the original, Nami never confided her reasons to her and the village, leading to the OpenSecret in the original between the villagers. When forced to finally tell the truth to Nojiko being caught red-handed in the hiding spot of her money, Bellemere's grave, all Nojiko can wonder is why she didn't tell her as she expresses to Nami she genuinely hated her for years for this seeming betrayal of their mother.
