Funny / One Piece: New World Era

This page contains unmarked spoilers. You Have Been Warned!

A monumental achievement in absurdity had to have been made to get Robin to make a face like this.

Two years after the first half and the Straw Hat haven't changed their antics at all. Which is a good thing.

Back to Main

New World Era

---

Return to Sabaody

• How does Nami react to reuniting with Usopp? By jumping up and down with joy while planting Usopp's face into her breasts. He comments about how much she has "blossomed."
  • It gets even funnier when you realize that Usopp has actually gotten taller than Nami. Meaning that this was probably done intentionally on her part.
    • Not mention how he made his presence known. He used his Pop Greens to clear out the Fake Straw Hats, then sat at the bar and tossed a flirt toward Nami.
      Usopp: Hey there, beautiful. Can I buy you a drink?
  • Also his almost immediate reaction to the guy who's 'doppelganging' Sogeking. Even though Usopp KNOWS the guy is a phony because Sogeking and Usopp are the same person.
  • What is Sanji's first thoughts after landing?: TARGET -- WOMAN: LOCK-ON.
    Sanji: VIVA SABAODY! I NEED LADY!!!
    • Followed closely by him flipping the okamas the bird and vowing never to return to "Hell". And then he thanks them for the lift.
    • And tells them to say hi to Ivankov for him. Apparently he and Iva actually bonded.
  • Ironically Zoro was the first one to make his way back...only for him to get on the wrong ship. Which he then cleaves in half. While underwater.
    Zoro: Call it a twist of fate. That's what brought this plague upon your ship. And there's no one for you to blame but yourselves.
    The Ship’s captain: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
  • Then he pulls a Bond One-Liner with no irony whatsoever. It would have been 100 percent awesome if the context wasn’t utterly ridiculous.
    Zoro: That...wasn't my ride.
  • Later, we are subjected to Oda's ultimate mixture of hilarious and disturbing in a suggestive panel with the fake Robin crouching before Chopper, offering him a cucumber at the end of her partially extended arm.
• The entirety of the intro from Chapter 599: Boa Hancock tries to have Luffy disguise himself with a fake nose and mustache, then proceeds to reveal the massive amount of stuff she's packed (500 pairs of clothes, 1000 lunchboxes, 5 years worth of handkerchiefs, tissues, and towels, and 3 years worth of drinkable water, snacks, and silverware, as well as hairbrushes, soaps, creams, and bug bite ointments. And yes, the list is exactly that long.) then as Luffy leaves, she ponders in her mind whether or not his promise to see her again is a marriage proposal...only to be immediately refuted by elder Nyon.
  • Last but not least for 599, Franky being pretty nonchalant about his GIANT MECHANICAL ARMS when he greets Robin.
    • In the anime version, Episode 519, Franky poses before Robin, and the camera goes to her with the music slowing to a stop, as if Robin is trying to process exactly what she is seeing. Then a soap bubble pops, the music resumes, and Robin smiles.
      Robin: You haven't changed a bit, Franky.
• Sanji talking in one-word sentences to Zoro. Followed by the two trying to outdo each other by arguing over who killed the Pacifista they both destroyed.
• Sanji in Chapter 602 is one from start to finish. He sees Perona, all grown up, and swoons over her. He then sees Nami and Robin, causing him to blast off into the distance with a high pressure nosebleed. And then he merely sees Hancock and is petrified. She didn't even use her powers. And then he hears that Luffy was on the Isle of Women, and his reaction is priceless. Finally, when the okama are holding back the Marines, he suddenly feels like his heart is being crushed.
  • In Episode 522, Perona has to use a Negative Hollow on Sanji.
    • In the English dub, when Sanji turns to stone after swooning over seeing Boa Hancock, Usopp says he's hard as a rock.
  • The okamas get one in this chapter, too. One winks, trying to do the joke "shooting star" wink like Hancock, only to have the star break before it gets an inch from his face.
• Brook's ridiculous(ly awesome) songs are hilarious enough, but the anime one-upped the hilarity in Episode 520 when Brook pours water on his face after a tiring performance...only to have the water pour right through him and onto the floor as his manager watches speechless and horrified.
• Fake Luffy vs. Sentomaru. That is all.

Fish-Man Island Arc

• 603 has several. Team Sanji blasts off again.
  • Everyone but Chopper ignoring the giant fish that's sneaking up on their ship, only for it to get killed by a bigger fish.
  • Luffy and Zoro attempting fish for food outside the ship, which leads to Usopp and Chopper beating the crap out of both to stop them from damaging the coating. This happens twice, the second time where they try making a contest for who gets the most fish right after Nami explains that too many holes would damage the Sunny's coating.
  • Usopp and Chopper hamming it up together again,
  • Franky's 'robot voice' demonstration while giving important info on why Kuma separated them.
  • Sanji's reaction to Kuma "saving" the crew.
    Sanji: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I'VE BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS?!!
  • And when they have to give Sanji a blood transfusion, they have a ton of blood units hung up by Zoro, making it look like they pulled all the blood from him.
• 604 has Chopper's suggestion of Sanji having to go rehabilitation with low-intensity photos so he stops blasting off again every time he so much as looks at a woman.
  • Nami's failed attempt at teaching the crew about deep-sea currents (And they're the ones who starting asking questions in the first place). Luffy of course immediately loses interest; Usopp and Chopper brought out books to take notes, but then they're sipping tea with Luffy and Zoro by the time Nami starts explaining.
  • Not to mention when Brook tried to make another Skull Joke about it being cold, Chopper promptly cuts in with, "Wow. And you don't even have skin!" The next panel then promptly shows Brook on his knees, face down with disappointment. The anime version handled this very well:
    Brook (JP): Chopper-san, you can't do that...You can't steal my line...
    Brook (EN): Chopper...Skull Jokes are the only thing I have. Please don't take that away from me...
  • Caribou's plan to ambush the Straw Hats was flawless. He'd use a sea monster to tow his ship to Sunny, invade and mow them down with a Gatling gun. But he could've never ever predicted the singular fatal flaw (discounting many other factors that would've made his plan utterly useless): the sea creature he used, Mohmoo, was trounced by the Straw Hats 532 issues/492 episodes before. The moment he saw Luffy and Sanji, Mohmoo swam away in a panic, leaving Caribou stranded, alone and unarmed, with the Straw Hats. Oops...
  • And of course, when they finally find a giant, ship eating Kraken in their way to Fish-Man Island, what is the natural reaction of Luffy? Tame it.
• Chapter 605:
  • Robin casually drawing a picture of the Kraken. And according to Franky, it's a pretty good sketch.
  • When Caribou's ship is destroyed by the Kraken, Zoro had this to say about the dying crew members:
  Zoro: They look just like jellyfish.
  Caribou: (heartbroken) Roronoa, you're so cruel!
• Caribou suggesting the terrible trio to use bubbles so they can fight underwater outside the ship. Usopp starts to tell him to shut up, but Caribou starts whispering frantically that it's a choice between them fighting in or near the ship and risk sinking the whole crew, or let them fight far away so the rest don't get caught in the crossfire. Usopp thinks for a bit before telling them to "fight as far away as they can!"
• 606 has Caribou escaping his bonds, hiding in a barrel while plotting to kill all the Straw Hats...and Franky just slowly, frame-by-frame, appears in the picture and curiously looks in the barrel. Cue the barrel being hammered shut. Also, the sheer number of things that come to attack the Sunny is ridiculous. And the underwater 'ghost ship', Flying Dutchman, freaks out Brook...Even though he was found on one.
  • The anime (Episode 525) is hilarious on Caribou hiding. He sees Franky watching his scheming, then just looks away and slowly sinks back into the barrel.
    Franky: Found him, guys! *starts hammering the barrel*
  • It also adds another scene regarding the crew's reaction to the Flying Dutchman, Franky calms Nami, Brook, Usopp, and Chopper down by reminding them that the last time they encountered a "ghost ship", the only thing they found in it was a certain "funny skeleton". Just as they calm down, Robin decides to troll them and notes that seeing how they encountered a Kraken, a creature thought to be legendary, ghost ships might be real after all. This causes them to get scared all over again, and Brook even faints. Franky calls her out on it, but Robin just giggles.
  • Then they do encounter what seems to be a ghost ship. Usopp (along with Nami and Chopper) is terrified at first, but then he snaps out of it to smack Brook (Who's been on a ghost ship for 50 years) across for being terrified.
  • The crew encountering a giant angler fish, then a giant humanoid sea monster called Wadatsumi. Then Wadatsumi punches the angler fish (named Ankuro) in the head and reprimands it for trying to eat the Sunny.
  • Right when Wadatsumi is about to punch the sunny, the kraken punches him in the face and starts pummeling him until Luffy orders him to stop. That's right: Luffy tamed the Kraken! And named it Surume! Even though it's a giant Octopus...^note  Surume means Dried Squid
  • The monster trio have retuned...and they're cuddled up in the same bubble. (Sanji and Luffy's bubbles had burst, so they had to share Zoro's). Sanji's swooning over Nami and Robin, and Zoro casually blames the crew for getting lost.
• 607 has the shot of Surume, Ankuro, and Wadatsumi running like hell in reaction to an erupting undersea volcano. Robin also comments on the ridiculous the way Surume's running is.
  • Sanji, however, could not care less about the eruption. He's still undergoing rehabilitation; looking at the low-intensity photos given to him in the background. The anime version even has him spouting Gratuitous English (The photos also happen to be close shots of Nami and Robin.)
    Sanji: Wow! Yes! Come on!
    Chopper: It's rehab!
  • Sanji's reaction to Fish-Man Island and the subsequent scene.
  • Luffy being Luffy towards what is basically Arlong's pirates reformed.
• 608 has the front cover — Brook walking dogs. With afros. That are posing like fashion models. Also Sanji's reaction to the mermaid district.
  • The introduction of the little mermaids.
  • Sanji's reaction to the mermaid district is taken up to eleven in the anime. The scene eventually climaxes with a super serious, ultra bishonen Sanji weeping his eyes out in sheer joy, while a choir sings in the background. If one didn't know any better, they'd think he was standing at the gates to Heaven. (Though, considering this is Sanji we're talking about, this may not be far from the truth.)
  • And before this, there's Sanji's Inelegant Blubbering when he first realizes where exactly he is. He goes on for so long that Camie even introduces him to the other mermaids as the 'crying one'.
  Luffy: "He's crying harder than when he left the Baratie!"
  • How about Camie helping the Straw Hats to get warmed up by feeding them chilled seaweed soup, and the subsequent reaction? And it's even funnier in the anime.
• 609 has Sanji giving out a huge nosebleed that's shaped like a mermaid.
  • A mermaid using snorkeling gear. A MERMAID.
• 610. Seriously, the look on Sanji's face when he realizes the Okamas had given him his blood donation was priceless.
  • The anime version of the scene is just as funny.
• 611. In return for all the Straw Hats did for him and Camie two years ago, Pappug (now a famous fashion designer) allows the Straw Hats to have anything they want in the store for free. He comes to regret this immediately, as it only takes FOUR Straw Hats a single panel to empty the entire store.
• Everyone is stunned at the arrival of King Neptune. Nami's initial reaction, however, is a little out of character:

  Nami: Can we just talk about how cute that whale is?

  • Later on, Nami's tendency to refer to King Neptune as "grandpa" freaks out Pappug who responds by biting her head. For a nerve-wreckingly long time, we see transitions for Pappug attached to Nami's head to Nami's face (which has a blissful smile plastered on it) while bells go off in the background. After that, Nami carries on the conversation as normal while Pappug lays next to her, who had the tar having been beaten out of him.
• 612: Neptune mentiones how happy he is to meet the straw Hats and that one of them is already at the castle. He can't remember the crewmember's name, only that they started drinking before Neptune had even left to go get the others.
  Usopp and Nami: That's Zoro.
• 614. What is Luffy's solution to the problem of smuggling a giant mermaid princess out of the castle? Put her inside her (relatively) tiny pet shark. Cue Luffy riding a giant fat shark going out of the doors, with the Mermaid Princess inside it.
  • Said mermaid princess apologized in her heart and promised to "be back before dinner".
• Brook goes off to save her while asking the king of Fish-Man Island, who happens to be that princess's father, if he could see her panties, even though said princess is a mermaid! A minister also asks to be allowed to go with Brook so he could ensure the princess's safety, and Brook mistakes him for another fan.
• 618: Sanji was on the brink of death from being with regular mermaids and the Mermaid Princess is right behind him. What does he do? To accomplish his dream, he chooses death...and gets PETRIFIED! AGAIN!
  • The anime made the moment even more ludicrous by playing "To the Grand Line" as he makes his decision, one of the most solemn and impactful themes in the entire show.
  • Also: After Decken asked to Shirahoshi to marry him for the last time she answers:
    Shirahoshi: You're just not my type!
    (The longest Beat yet)
    Decken: WHAT!? (Angrish)
    Everyone: WHAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?! THAT'S YOUR ONLY REASON?!
  • Decken's face afterward seals the moment perfectly. Seriously, it almost rivals the Eneru face in sheer ridiculousness.
  • Further, this is the second time such a reaction has happened. (The 1st was in Impel Down)
• Jimbei's expression in 619 when he realizes that Luffy brought Shirahoshi from her tower. Looks like he's finally Not So Above It All.
  • Even better, he had a Delayed Reaction.
• 620: Oda setting up the 'Simon and Garfunkel' joke on the cover. Seriously, he planned a joke back in the 1990s that just got realized in 2011.
• 622: The future Vice Admiral Strawberry's perfectly rectangular, multiple foot-tall hair which rests a single Marine cap is just so silly, you can't help but laugh.
  • And even better, in Chapter 624 it's BANDAGED UP after being bull rushed by Fisher Tiger.
  • Even better? Oda revealed that that's not hair: That's his head!!!
• 626: Vander Decken is about to write invitations for the wedding he is hoping to have with Shirahoshi when he realizes he doesn't have any friends he can invite.
• 627: The revelation that Luffy slept through the entire 7-chapter flashback sequence.
• 628:
  • Zoro, Usopp and Brook are revealed to have been caught and put in a Death Trap. Brook laughs at how he was briefly mistaken for dead earlier, and both Zoro and Usopp get mad at him because they could have actually escaped if Brook had just stayed Faking the Dead.
  • Usopp's imitation of Robin, right down to changing his eyes into hers.
  • And Brook's reaction: "Yohoho!! Spot on!!"
  • Hody Jones just declared himself the new king of Fish-Man Island and announced that he's going to execute King Neptune, Zoro, Usopp, and Brook to serve as an example to the human race. By the whole speech, Luffy's just pleased with himself that his bounty went up to 400 million.
• 629: Luffy and Jimbei end up punching each other and Sanji out over a disagreement on how to handle Hody. As for Sanji, well, Robin put a clone of herself in between Luffy and Jimbei to try (emphasis on "try") breaking up the fight the moment they happen to be lunging at each other. Sanji launched himself over to save her (or give her a smooch, from the look on his face...). Then the Robin clone disappears and he ends up getting sandwiched.
• 630: The whole thing with Ikaros and Daidaros. Not only is it a parody of the Icarus story, but a giant squid somehow flew too close to the sun and dried up. Which is why he (one of Hody's subordinates) is weak to fire, at least psychologically.
  • And what about Zeo, who's using his camouflage powers to fight the residents while lecturing them at the same time...and then gets stomped and walked over several times in a row (by his own men nonetheless), and still acts as never happened.
• 634: Luffy's logic about why he doesn't want to be a hero, followed up by Jimbei's response (and how easily Luffy is persuaded). Also Jimbei's "strategy" and him worrying about a strategy name.
  Luffy: Let's say you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat. A hero would divide it amongst the people. I WANT TO EAT THAT MEAT!!
  Jimbei: Fine, I'll feed you all the meat you want, just do what I say!
  Luffy: Okay!
  • Chopper lampshades how Luffy instantly accepts Jimbei's bribe.
  • When Jimbei is describing how Luffy will sneak in in Megalo's mouth, Megalo freaks out in the background.
  • In the color spread, Brook has lodged himself in Shirahoshi's bra.
  • In the exact same color spread, Sanji appears to be smoking. Underwater.
  • Jimbei of all people wants to give their operation a name, while the Straw Hats tell him to forget about it.
• In anime Episode 554 (corresponds to manga Chapter 634), when the Straw Hats are about to take on Hody's Jones's 100,000-strong Fishman army, Franky poses with his armored fists forward, and has a smaller mechanical hand pop out of one of them and do the Bring It motion.
• 635: This chapter is basically a mix of these and Awesome. Highlights include how Sanji learned Geppou and everything Chopper does while riding on the tank.
• You know how there's a Running Gag of Chopper being confused with other creatures? In Chapter 636, that list now includes Luffy thinking Chopper's new Horn Point is a stag beetle.
  • When Franky busts out Iron Pirate "Franky Shogun", Usopp, Luffy and Chopper are crapping themselves out of excitement. Nami and Robin on the other hand stare at it like it was the stupidest (or the most embarrassing?) thing they've ever seen ever.
• Zeo in Chapter 640. Basically, he's lying on the ground while Brook is accidentally stepping on his head. Zeo is firmly convinced that he is headbutting Brook's foot away. Emphasis on firmly.
  • Not to mention what happens right before it. Zeo is camouflaged and grabbing Nami's ankles and Ikaros Much is about to impale her with a spear. Brook sees this and immediately rushes to Nami and asks to see her panties. Brook then gets speared in the back and slapped in the face at once.
• Sanji vs. Wadatsumi. Wadatsumi reveals that he can puff up like a blowfish. Sanji is currently standing on his cheek. Sanji's response? "Kraken is bigger." So Wadatsumi expands again, and Sanji just keeps egging him on and on and on with the exact same line.
• Zeo tries to attack Brook while invisible, but since he's yelling the attack name at the top of his lungs Brook manages to stab him anyway.
  Brook: (startled) WHY DID IT SOUND LIKE THE GROUND WAS TALKING!?
  • And then Zeo has the balls to seriously claim that he was actually trying to break Brook's sword tip off with his own body.
  • In the anime, Zeo's reaction to Brook placing his recently lost skull back to his place.
    Zeo: I killed him so hard it brought him back to life. Man I'm good!
    Fishman Pirates: ARE YOU FOR REAL!?
  • Brook's somewhat exasperated response to Zeo's grandstanding also deserves mention.
  Zeo: Did you see that, Skeleton? Your blade has fallen foul of my deadly "Body Sword Crush" Attack! Soon enough, it will rust away and become completely worthless—
  Brook: Yes, yes, I stabbed you.
• When a fishboy wonders if humans are as bad as the New Fish-Man Pirates say, Madame Shirley tells him that the ones fighting to protect Fish-Man Island are human, to which the boy asks, pointing at Brook; "Even him?"
  Madame Shirley: Well, I'm not sure about half of them...but the point is!
• After Brook's Berserk Button is pressed:
  Brook: Stop right there! Those are your men!! And you, what would you know?! It's not like you've died before! Die and be left as a grudge!!? That's absurd! Nothing is left behind! After death, living things are all just bones!!
  Franky: You've gotten a lot more persuasive.
  Brook: THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU!!
• From Chapter 646, Chopper doing his happy dance...While in Monster Point!
  • While Usopp and Chopper go gaga over Franky's Laser Weapon, Nami and Robin just stare.
• Brook, after defeating Zeo, makes an utterly badass haiku...and then ruins it.
  Brook: A blood-chilling wind howls from the land of the dead...sends skirts aflutter!
• From Chapter 647:
  Brook: Nami-san, please put on a mini-skirt.
  Nami: Shut your mouth.
• 649 does a Call-Back to 634 when Zoro is trying to explain why being heroes is a bad thing. He uses Luffy's meat analogy only with booze (made even better by the fact that Zoro wasn't even around when Luffy made the original analogy).
  Nami: What is it with you guys and that theory!?
  • Also, King Neptune thinking Robin was coming on to him after she called him to speak to him alone.
  • In a quick, one-panel shot, Nami is apparently out-drinking Prince Fukaboshi.
• 650: Nami gets excited when told that Neptune is willing to give the whole treasury to the Straw Hats for the capture of Caribou, and then she gets mad at the Big Three for letting Caribou escape. Long story short: no matter how powerful they've become, Zoro and Luffy (Sanji being Sanji, he doesn't count) are still afraid of Nami.
  • What makes it even more hilarious is that the three of them are kicked out of the palace the same way Caribou was kicked out by Luffy!
  • When it's found out that the leaders of the New Fish-Man Pirates have all become old due to abusing ES, we get this little gem:
    Zeo: I became old on purpose.
• 652 has everyone absolutely freaking out that Luffy challenged one of the Emperors...except Nami, who's annoyed that Luffy gave up all the treasure and so beats the Monster Trio to a bloody pulp. Then Luffy tries to motivate everyone to go to the New World, while still suffering from Nami's horrible beating.
• In the following chapter, Nami is given a new Log Pose for the New World. She's told that the needles can be used to determine how dangerous an island is. Unfortunately, Luffy overhears this and immediately picks the most dangerous one. Cue Usopp and Nami crying since Luffy is all-too happy to drag them into danger for fun.
  • In the same scene, Luffy interrupts by wrapping his neck around Nami like a tentacle, followed by Nami shaking his outstretched head to berate him while still tied up.
  • When the Minister tells Neptune that Luffy basically sent Big Mom a Bomb inside a chest, which will explode once opened, he advices Neptune to warn them. Neptune knows that he should, but after looking at Usopp and Chopper's sorry state of despair, both the Minister and Neptune agreed that they can't bring themselves to tell them even worse news, and hope to god that bomb just broke by then.
• "And then I did a big fart!"
• Sanji's idea of what Big Mom looks like. Please note that this is terrible wrong. Well, Big Mom did look similar to Sanji's imagination...40 years ago.
• When Franky introduces Den to Luffy in the anime...
  Franky: That's Den-chan, brother of Tom, my shipwright master, doing the recoating for us.
  Luffy: Oh, okay! So he's a shipwright who's coating Franky's brother!
  *beat, Franky has a "WTF?" look on his face*
  Franky: *gives a thumbs-up* Yeah, something like that.
  

Punk Hazard Arc

• In anime Episode 575, the Monster Trio's matter-of-fact solutions to dealing with the insane weather conditions of the New World:
  Luffy: Punch.
  Zoro: Cut.
  Sanji: Kick.
• The crew receives a distress call from someone on Punk Hazard. Robin tells Luffy not to pick up the call, saying that it might be a fake, set up as trap by the Marines to locate pirates (turns out she's only half-right: the Marines were listening, but the distress call was genuine). Luffy still picks it up, and immediately announces he's going to be the Pirate King.
  • At the end of the call, the caller is stabbed and supposedly killed by the samurai he mentioned. Luffy's reaction? "Hmm, smells like trouble..."
  • In the anime, when Nami explains how dangerous the area around Punk Hazard is:
    Nami: Look at all those bones, bones, bones!
    Brook: Huh? Did you just call me?
• The very fact that a man's lower half can move and talk is hilarious in itself, but Zoro and Robin not giving a flying fuck about that makes it even funnier.
  • AND Luffy automatically wants the lower-half guy to join his crew.
  • And in the next chapter, Luffy attaches the legs to his waist to pretend that he's a centaur.
  • AND a few chapters later, this causes an actual centaur to mistake him for a real one.
• In the next chapter, the other half of the crew meets a TALKING, SEVERED HEAD, which they have to physically PUT TOGETHER while it's STILL talking to them.
  • The head lashes at Nami for being upfront and dressing inappropriately. She asks if he doesn't like her outfit, but he (with Blush Sticker) admits that he does, and gets beat up for it.
• Chapter 659, Luffy's team finds a river that requires swimming over. As Zoro and Usopp can swim but Luffy and Robin can't, Robin imagines her and Luffy riding Zoro & Usopp across the river.
  • Also Smoker smoking through his gas mask
• Chapter 660:
  • The Franky Tank, and everyone doing the SUUUUUUPEEEEER!!! pose.
  • When the kids tell Nami and Chopper how they were suddenly taken from their homes, by people they never met, without even having the chance to say goodbye to their parents, because they had a so-called disease that needed curing, the ever-so-clueless Chopper mentions that...it must be a really serious disease. Nami wastes no time Dope Slaping him for it.
  • The talking head is indebted to Sanji, but too proud and distrustful of pirates to ask him to find the rest of his body, so he instead takes advantage of Sanji's kindness and trolls him. Sanji promptly beats him up for it.
    • Really, just seeing Sanji reaching the end of his patience with the talking head is funny in itself, him coming so close to bashing it's head to the ground with Franky asking him if that really gonna make him feel any better.
  Franky: C'Mon, knock it. Is squashing a defenseless head really going to make you feel better?
  Sanji: But?!— [Kin'emon sticks his tongue out] AARGH!!!
  Franky: The second you decided to get him out cell, you already lost Sanji.
  Sanji: THIS GUY IS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL! I WAS A FOOL TO ADMIRE HIS RESOLVES, EVEN FOR A SECOND!! I DON'T WANT TO HELP HIM ANYMORE!!!
• In 661, Law performs a four-way "Freaky Friday" Flip between Sanji, Nami, Franky and Chopper. Franky is now in Chopper's body and Nami is in Franky's body, but the kicker? Sanji is in Nami's body and Chopper is in Sanji's!
  • Meanwhile, Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Usopp end up in a frozen river after some centaurs capsize their boat. They immediately notice they have warm clothing, and all get a Slasher Smile, deciding to steal their coats. The fact that Robin has that look as well makes it all the funnier.
  Robin: But look. We're lucky. We should be glad we ran into them.
  Brownbeard: Wait. They look familiar.
  Zoro: That guy looks good. I'll take the fourth guy from the right.
  Luffy: Alright. I'll take the guy next to him.
  Robin: I'll take that one. The girl at the far left.
  Luffy, Zoro, and Robin: Their clothes look warm!
  Usopp (teeth chattering, too cold to follow them): All right...please get me one too!
• In Chapter 662, it's revealed that Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Brook, and Sanji have new wanted posters. The funny part? Sanji's is no longer a painting, but a photo of the back of his head.
• In 663, anything that involves Sanji checking out his 'new body' while pissing off Nami who's in Franky's body. She even goes as far as punching her original body!
  "Sanji": And now I present to you...NAMI!
  Usopp and Brook: Whoa! Hello, beautiful!
  • Luffy getting depressed after losing his 'extra legs', which belong to the Samurai from Wano.
    • Also involving the 2/3 completed Samurai...
      Brook: Yohoho, but having just legs and a head is kind of funny. Reminds me that I met a person who was just a torso!
      Zoro: That's definitely this guy's torso...
      Brook: YOU'RE RIGHT!
    • It's quickly revealed that the talking lower half of the samurai wasn't talking at all. It was mimicking speech by farting.
  • Basically anything that involves the swapped Straw Hats. Mirroring the audience, even Luffy and Usopp laugh their asses off!
  • Tashigi in Smoker's body and Smoker in Tashigi's body. Wrap your head around that and try not to burst out laughing.
  • How to not get confused with Luffy's bodyswapped crew members? Make them wear paper masks on their heads.
  • Kinda hard to see if you don't know what to look for, but when the above occurs, you see Franky in Chopper's body trying to do his usual pose. Only problem? Chopper's arms are too short!
  • When everyone were freezing the butts of alongside the children, Kin'emon reveals his Devil Fruit powers of magic clothing, giving everyone some much needed warm jackets. The kids are all thankful, until Franky (in Chopper's body) brings up a good point.
    Franky: Wait a minute. If had such power, Why didn't you do it sooner?! (Smacks him, then poses)
    • Kin'emon simply replies staying it be a waste to cover up Nami's body. This earns him a punch from Nami (Who's in Franky's body).
• Chapter 665: Franky making weird facial expressions while in Chopper's body with Robin calling him out on it.
  Robin: I never want to see that expression coming from Chopper's face again!
  (later)
  Robin: Franky, can you just not speak while you're in that body? Ever.
• Brownbeard claims he doesn't know much about the Yeti Cool Brothers...before revealing a ton of details about them.
• Nami tries to imitate the Radical Beam pose while she's in Franky's body, prompting Chopper to yell at her for not taking the BEAM~! seriously.
• In chapter 667, Franky asks Chopper to give him a Rumble Ball so he could change into Monster Point. Chopper agrees, but before he could even start explaining, Franky eats it, causing Chopper's body to morph into Monster Point right away. He goes on a rampage, and just won't stop attacking Luffy! This would normally be a serious situation, but here, it's played for laughs.
  • Also, a more subtle funny moment — immediately after transforming into Chopper's Monster Point, Franky manages to do his Super pose during his quick moment of control.
  • When Nami yells at the Yeti Cool Brothers, we get this nice exchange:
    Nami: Why did you kidnap me?! I know I'm cute and I have a nice body, and it probably makes you want to kidnap me, but...!
    Rock: What's this guy talking about?
    Scotch: He's an okama. Cool...
• In Chapter 668, Law meets the Straw Hats for the first time. He's quite visibly disturbed by their...quirks. One of them he walks right into when he asks to take their doctor with him to investigate — cut to Usopp tying the now-back-in-his-body Chopper onto his head because he can't move.
  • The WTF face that Law makes at this moment◊ is so priceless, even Robin laughed! Made even funnier because both happen both be stoics for their respective crews.
  • When Law refuses to allow Chopper on his head, he carries him around like a keychain.
  • When Robin brings up that a pirate alliance could end in betrayal, especially since Luffy is so trusting, Luffy naturally turns to Law and asks him if that's the case. Law just calmly responds "No." This is juxtaposed with an annoyed Usopp in the foreground.
  • Before that, he decides to undo the body swap he did on the other Straw Hats. Only Franky is happy with this though: Chopper's mad because of the damage his body took while Franky was in it, and since Nami's body is elsewhere, she has to be put in Sanji's to her frustration.
• Law was warned twice by Usopp and Sanji on two different occasions that what he was thinking as an alliance is probably different than Luffy's idea of one. Both times he looks like he's regretting his decision more and more.
• In Chapter 669, Tashigi accidentally activates Smoker's Devil Fruit ability, causing her to fly around uncontrollably.
  • Zoro, Sanji and Brook imagining who the giant footsteps they saw (Actually the Yeti Cool Brothers') might belong to.
  • Luffy, Franky and Robin barge right into Caesar Clown's lab, even though they were supposed to stick to the plan of just capturing Clown. Bonus points for Franky actually screaming that out loud!
• In Chapter 670, Luffy finds out that Smoker and Tashigi have been body swapped. His reaction? Start laughing. While still fighting them.
• In Chapter 671, Caesar tries to take Luffy down with a huge explosion...only to realize that Luffy dodged it and is standing right behind him. Caesar's face is just pure gold.
• Sanji being in Nami's body leads to a great deadpan exchange with Zoro in the anime:
  Zoro: You're not giving it back, are you?
  Sanji: Of course not.
• In Chapter 675, Nami saves Usopp from under a pile of rubble. Because she's still in Sanji's body, Usopp mistakes her for him at first, causing him to be disappointed when he remembered it. Nami immediately calls him out on this.
  • Vergo constantly getting food stuck to his face. He's introduced with nearly an entire burger patty from his lunch stuck to his face.
• Chapter 676: Zoro, Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon running like hell away from Smiley's poison gas.
  • A dragon with wings running like hell ahead of them. Zoro proposes catching it to fly away from the gas.
  • Robin tends to make hypothetical macabre situations about her crew mates suffering from some horrible fate while the crew is separated. Ironically, she casually makes this comment when she actually sees her friends running from a a horrific fate on a monitor:
    Robin: Oh, Mr. Samurai's body is complete.
• Chapter 677: In what's supposed to be an 3 man pirate alliance, Eustass Kid and Scratchman Apoo are about to start a fight. What's better is Hawkins' reaction:
  Hawkins: Sigh. How foolish. I'm going home.
  • Sanji can't run any further as he's still in Nami's body, until he gropes Nami's breast. This gives him such an amazing boost that he manages to catch the dragon in seconds.
    Zoro: What's that nonsense power?!
  • Tashigi's reaction to getting her body back, which has her shirt still opened from when Smoker was in her body. After she fixes herself, she pouts adorably and gives Smoker a glare. Even better, he has the gall to ask why she's glaring at him.
  • Zoro's group meets up with Usopp and Nami, who're on riding Brownbeard. Not only is the dragon Zoro's riding not flying, it ends up biting on Brownbeard's tail while he's running for safety.
• In Chapter 678, Luffy pulls out a new technique, Gum Gum UFO. Yep, now Luffy can fly, apparently. And it's hilarious.
  • Nami and Sanji finally get their old bodies back. Nami realizes she's wearing a different coat, and punches Sanji for being a pervert and stripping her body. (Except he only did it to go underwater and save the Samurai’s torso.)
  • Noticeably, Sanji is silently gesturing No when Nami tells Law to switch them back. Law ignores him.
  • Sanji also notices that her punch was more painful than usual. When Usopp tells him about Caesar defeating Nami while she was in his body, he expresses tears of joy that it was his body that took damage and not hers.
    Sanji: I'm so happy that it was my body and not hers!
    Usopp: (Also crying) I'm so proud of you!!!!
• Chapter 679, Vergo gets ready to join the fight, but there's one problem.
  Vergo: I can't seem to find my sword.
  Monet: Isn't that because you're not a swordsman?
  Vergo: That's right...I'm not a swordsman.
  • Though it comes during an otherwise dark scene, that one guy with a :D expression on his face who's making double peace signs with his fingers as he's just been petrified by Shinokuni and saved Captain Tashigi from suffering the same fate.
• Chapter 684: Tashigi yelling at her men not to call Sanji their "bro"
• Chapter 686: Sanji's antics: First, he is leading the charge of Marine soldiers. Then, they all see Zoro and make faces at him on Sanji's command. He then sees Monet (who has a Sweat Drop at this point), who Zoro was fighting, and falls down because of her beauty. The Marines soldiers likewise start to yell how cute she is, even though she's a harpy, and Monet starts to blush.

  Zoro: AND WHY ARE YOU WEAK TO COMPLIMENTS?!

  • Chopper sees Monet in her snow monster form and freaks out similarly to when he saw Holy on Skypiea: with his hat flying off his head while the antlers are still attached to his hat.
• Chapter 687: Tashigi pouting (yes, pouting) when she recalled her first fight with Zoro before berating his Wouldn't Hit a Girl attitude.
• Chapter 688: Zoro carrying Tashigi like a sack of rice while running away from the gas. They started arguing, and then she saw Shuusui, Ryuuma's sword.

  Zoro: Stop that, you katana maniac!

• Chapter 691: Zoro's No Sense of Direction is taken up to eleven when he actually ends up running up to everyone from the front when he was originally behind them!
• Chapter 695: When everyone makes it out of the collapsing facility, everyone gets to see the Franky Shogun. Except for Law and Smoker, all of the guys (Including the kidnapped children, the Marines, and Caesar's former henchmen) are absolutely blown away by how awesome it is, but the girls (again, including the kids and the Marines (Well, Tashigi)) still don't give a crap, and just stare.
  • In the anime version, when they show the reaction of the females, the background music slowly dies down and then stops just to emphasize the females' unimpressed reaction.
  • As Caesar is flying away, Nami and Usopp step up, boasting that they will handle it... and adding that they are a terror against "a fleeing enemy turning his back on us". As if that was worth boasting about.
• Chapter 696: Once all fights are over, Law pulls Luffy aside and warns him they need to keep moving or their enemies will catch up with them. Luffy looks serious, agrees to tell his friends, and then turns around and declares it's 'PARTY TIME! Law's reaction is priceless.
  • The Marines have painted a large line dividing their camp from the Straw Hats', calling it "The Line between justice and evil". Sanji then starts cooking, cue a crowd of G5 marines rushing over the line to get food, leading to this little gem:
  Sanji: What happened to "The Line between justice and evil"?
  Marine: Ceasefire.

Dressrosa Arc

• Chapter 698 is full of funny moments.
  • Chopper yelling at Sanji for hitting Caesar...only to tell him to do it AFTER he's finished tending to his wounds. Sanji even lampshades this.
  • Franky's pigtails.
  • Caesar's face here◊.
  • When Luffy announces that they formed an alliance with Law's crew, he puts his hand on Law's shoulder and gives a big grin, while Law grimaces giving off the impression that he's made a huge mistake.
• Chapter 699: Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon learn that Momonosuke is taking a bath with Robin. They immediately go there, and find that they have just finished bathing, and Robin is holding the lucky kid near her breasts. Jealous, the three perverts gang up on him to scold him, scaring the hell out of the poor kid in the process, and get beat up by Nami as a result. Thankful, Momonosuke calls Nami a princess, which she likes a lot. She hugs him and tells him he can sleep in her room tonight, which shocks Sanji, Kin'emon, and Brook. The final straw is the smirk Momonosuke gives at the end of all this.
  Sanji/Brook/Kin'emon: THIS KID IS THE WORST!!!!!
  • Even better in the anime, where Momonosuke motorboats Nami before giving that perverted look.
• Chapter 700: Even Law gets caught up in the Straw Hats hijinks; after trying to warn them again about preparing for Dressrosa, Luffy stops everything for a food break.
  Luffy: Sanji, I'm hungry. What's for breakfast?
  Sanji: Sandwiches.
  Chopper: Waah, I want a cotton candy sandwich!!
  Robin: Just tea for me.
  Law: I don't like bread so— *which prompts a Face Fault.*
  • True to his word the next page shows him eating onigiri.
    • According to the SBS, the last one had umeboshi, which he hates, and he actually got into an argument with Sanji because of it.
  • When Doflamingo mentions that there's something the Straw Hats would go to any lengths to get, Luffy believes it to be meat. He starts drooling like crazy, has hearts in his eyes, and even faints from envy. Doflamingo has yet to say anything beyond it being what he wants, by the way...
  • When Luffy mispronounces Dressrosa's name as "Dress Olga", Robin imagines an ugly old hag in a dress. In Japanese, he says "Dress Roba", which actually does mean an ugly old hag in a dress.
  • Buggy the Clown is revealed to be a Warlord. Several fans already guessed this, but it's still funny to get an official confirmation.
    • Not to mention the face in Buggy's picture, which seems to be a cross between laughter and "What the hell am I doing here?!"
• 701: The reaction to Dressrosa being home to living toys is priceless.
  • There's also Luffy and Momonosuke's arguing, which the latter takes advantage of to get Nami to hug him near her breasts again. The perverted look on dragon!Momonosuke's face is hilarious.
• 702: The cover. Caribou has been mistaken for somebody else. That somebody else? Revolutionary Commander Gaburu, who apparently is One Piece's answer to Che Guevara — Who looks exactly like Caribou (except he wears a hat). The look on Caribou's face says everything.
• 703: Sanji's interactions with Violet, the beautiful dancer.
  • Luffy intends to participate in the tournament to win his brother's Devil Fruit. Franky tells him he can go all out, but that he mustn't let everyone know who he is. Luffy says he got it, but literally on the next panel, he starts to say "Lu-". Cue Dope Slap from Franky. The kicker is that Luffy ends up entering the tournament as "Lucy" because of that, and that's what the townspeople call him even after they know his true identity.
• 704: Meet Cavendish, "White Horse Knight" Prince of the Pirates, who switches back and forth between being an effeminate, educated Bishonen and a raging beast. Why is that? Two years ago, Luffy, and, by extension, the Eleven Supernovas, overshadowed his reputation as a talented new rookie by being more talented and rookie than him. Attention Whore much?
  • Not to mention Luffy keeps ignoring him, too.
  • He also carries a rose, much like a lot of Bishounen characters in anime do. What does he do with his? He eats it.
  • All the gladiators' horrified reactions when Luffy momentarily forgets that he's supposed to be in disguise and gives out his real name.
• Jesus Burgess disguises himself by wearing a Happy Store-branded paper bag over his head, and during the battle royale uses "Happy Store!" as a battlecry.
• In the anime, when Bartolomeo enters the ring and tells the entire audience to go to hell, they start throwing trash at him. Barto casually dodges it all, and it hits other gladiators instead. His laugh and the trollface he makes are the finishing blow.
• Chapter 707, Cavendish is off on a rant about how he can never forgive the Worst Generation and how he has to kill them all. Luffy is still in disguise standing right next to him. The very instant he finishes talking, Chinjao walks up behind them and casually asks, "Hey, Straw Hat Luffy, how's Garp doing?". Luffy and Cavendish's Oh, Crap! expressions make it even funnier.
• As his block is having a battle royale, what does Bartolomeo do? He's nonchalantly taking a piss in the water surrounding the arena.
• Chapter 711: Robin tries to convince the dwarves who captured her that she didn't mean any harm. At first, they don't believe her, but they do a total 180 the second Robin answers that it's true. The second time this happens, which is literally seconds later, Robin has a priceless, Law-like Face Fault. Yes, you read that right; Robin has a Face Fault.
• Chapter 712: Violet scans Sanji's mind with her power...and finds out his mind is almost entirely filled with perverted thoughts. The poor young woman is so shocked she even screams.
• Chapter 713: Usopp's lies: he not only claims he has Haki, but he was the one who took down 50,000 Fishmen on Fish-Man Island. He also has the balls to claim he's a descendant of Montblanc Noland, which bites him in the ass later as the dwarves ask him to help them take down Doflamingo's crew. His face is priceless.
  • Robin even calls Usopp a bad man for going this far with his lying.
  • Just as Sanji is all lovey-dovey after seeing Violet give a cute and genuine smile, Kin'emon pops out of nowhere, scaring the hell out of him.
    • As Violet escapes, she calls Sanji a romantic fool. Kin'emon gets his attention by calling him "Mr. Romantic Fool".
  • The townspeople's reactions to the Franky Tank. A little boy watches with stars in his eyes while the little girl standing next to him stares blank faced. Meanwhile a chef is running after Franky, yelling that he didn't pay for his meal.
• Chapter 714: Even though this is rather serious, you can't help but laugh at how Nami, Chopper, Brook, Momonosuke and the Thousand Sunny look as "art forms".
• Chapter 716: Jean Ango's face upon realizing that the weapons he kept throwing at Luffy ended up getting lodged in Chinjao's body.
  • As the audience was expecting an epic duel between Sai and Ideo, both are taken out in one hit by Chinjao and Luffy.
• Chapter 718 gives us the line "No one can stop the fine arts!"
• Chapter 719: What Chinjao looked like 30 years ago.
  • Everyone's reaction to seeing Luffy making Chinjao's drill reappear.
• Chapter 720: Bartolomeo is a secret Fanboy of Luffy who gushes at the mere sight of him.
  • The anime heightens up the Ho Yay by having Bartolomeo have the same "Sexy Imagine Spot of Luffy", music and all, that Boa Hancock did.
  • Chinjao wants to thank Luffy for giving back his drill on his head. He bows down to Luffy, who's fighting Cavendish at the time, but because he hasn't used his drill in a while he accidentally attacks him by splitting the ground.
• Chapter 721: During the time Thunder Soldier is taking care of Rebecca, he beats up a boy for hitting her and then beats up another boy for trying to give her a love letter.
• Chapter 722: Cavendish enters the ring and gives a passionate speech to the audience who throw boos at Rebecca. A moment of shock and silence, and the impressed audience forgets about Rebecca and starts cheering for Cavendish. His reaction is priceless.
  Cavendish: Oh. My. God. I'm, like, super popular!!! *bishie sparkles*
  • His passionate speech certainly felt like a moment of awesome...until a random bystander observes "What kind of person...puts speakers on his steed?!"
  • This exchange between Zoro and Wicca.
    Wicca: Turn left here. (beat) Left is the side where you don't have your swords!
    Zoro: As if I don't know left from right!
    Wicca: You don't!
• Chapter 723: Following Giolla's defeat, Brook reverses one of his perverse lines by saying he doesn't want to see her panties!
  • Zoro and Kin'emon are standing outside the Colosseum and wondering how to get in without arising suspicion.
    Zoro: Maybe I'll just cut an opening.
    Kin'emon: That will arise suspicion!
    Zoro: Then I'll just cut a really small opening.
    Kin'emon: We're not talking about the magnitude here!
  • Bartolomeo sees Zoro and starts freaking out the same way he did when he saw Luffy. It seems safe to say that he's a fanboy of the whole crew.
    • In the anime, there's a montage of Bartolomeo imagining himself striking poses along each of the rest of the Straw Hats. It's blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but since he's never met him in person he pictures Sanji with the hideous face from his hand-drawn wanted poster.
• Chapter 724: Caesar complains about being back on the Thousand Sunny alongside fellow prisoner Giolla.
  Caesar: Giolla, help me!
  Giolla: I'm literally in the same boat as you!
• Chapter 727: When Usopp was about to ask Thunder Soldier about his relations with the former king, Riku, he ignores and interrupts Usopp's question and starts telling the history of Dressrosa.
• Chapter 728: Usopp, Robin and Franky learning that they're the reason why Thunder Soldier and the Tontatta tribe are going to war against Doflamingo right now. When Doflamingo abdicated his position as king, to trick the Straw Hats and Law, it brought hope to them. But when they learned that the information was false, they were so devastated that they decided that they would fight against Doflamingo in a blaze of glory even if it meant their deaths. The crews' reaction is the page image above.
  • We actually see Robin perform a bigger face fault than her previous one!
• Chapter 730: Sanji's reaction to when Caesar confesses that he swindled money from Big Mom for research funds.
  You did what?
• Chapter 731: Luffy's absolutely epic, Eneru-like Jaw Drop which takes up an entire page. What makes it even funnier is that given the Wham Episode this chapter is as Sabo's alive this is probably most of the audience's reaction as well.
  • He's still crying throughout the whole episode, but nobody has context. (At least Bartolomeo was present when Sabo revealed himself, and probably understood)
  • From the same chapter, there's Franky's hair turning into a cannon and Usopp declaring he'll fight a little girl.
• Chapter 732: Senor Pink's Establishing Character Moment. He messily eats a tomato, is told by a woman not to eat like that, so he rips off her bikini top and wipes his mouth with it.
  • Franky seeing him and asking "Who's that perverted guy?" Prompting the Doflamingo mooks to call out his hypocrisy.
  • Anytime he does or spouts something quasi-manly, the response from the ladies around him is to swoon all over him and call him "Hard Boiled". We have to remind you that Señor Pink sports a bonnet, a bib, a speedo and sucks on a binkie?
• Chapter 733: Doflamingo's grunts are excited to join in on the fight. But first they have to wait patiently in the elevator...
• Viola listing reasons why taking the elevator directly to the palace is a bad idea we have this exchange:
  Viola: And more importantly...
  Kin'emon: Please, proceed.
  a shot of Luffy, Zoro, and Kin'emon in their toy disguises^note samurai-themed carp, cat, and frog, respectively
  Viola: You look suspicious.
  Kin'emon: Madam, I'm offended!
• Chapter 736: Instead of Luffy going with Viola to go to the secret entrance to the lower rampart of the palace to avoid the guards, Luffy runs towards the front entrance, which is heavily guarded, and launches a Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol at the guards and the front door while wearing a fish costume.
  Luffy: It's open!
  Zoro: That's not the problem here!
  • While Lao G fights the Toy Soldier and some of the dwarves, Lao G has to quickly put his glasses on to see what's in front of him and he explains the reason he's in the elevator lift is because he got "mixed up" with the orders he was given.
    • There's also the Sentai-esque G he makes with his hands.
• The very beginning of Chapter 739 has the Mass "Oh, Crap!" reaction from Sugar, Usopp, the dwarves, and the dwarves-turned-toys when a huge, duck-figureheaded ship crashes right into the executive tower. Afterwards, an angry Sugar gave Trebol a kick in the shin for throwing it.
• Donquixote Doflaemon.
  Gladius: Young Master?! Why are you here?!
  Kin'emon: Huh? Young Master? I am Donquixo-
  Wicca: No! "Young Master" is Doflamingo's title!
  (Beat)
  Kin'emon: I am the Young Master.
  Gladius: There are intruders in the palace! Until they are dealt with, please wait upstairs!
• Law makes Baby 5 cry by giving her an angry look.
• This exchange between Sugar and Trebol:
  Sugar: You're an idiot. Just die.
  Trebol: As if I'd die, you damn brat! Bahahahaha!
  Sugar: Just die.
  Trebol: Bahahahaha!
  Sugar: Just die.
  Trebol: Bahahahaha!
  Beat
  Sugar: J-
  Trebol: Bahahahaha!
• Chapter 742: We get the mother of all Oh, Crap! moments when Usopp screams and makes quite possibly the biggest Jaw Drop in the whole series after being fed the ultra-spicy grape that was intended for Sugar, which scares Sugar so much that she has her own epic Jaw Drop and falls unconscious.
• Chapter 743: As all the toys in Dressrosa start turning back to normal. One of the toys in the Colosseum audience was a gorilla!
  • Adding to that, when Sabo destroys the arena, you can see the gorilla has the same shocked expression as everyone else!
• Chapter 744: The cover shows Aokiji and Camel (his pet penguin, for those of you wondering) getting headaches from eating ice too fast. Keep in mind Aokiji is an ice man, and yet he still gets that!
  • Sabo completely ignoring Bartolomeo and instead grabbing Rebecca, after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit. Lampshaded as well.
  • USOPP of all of the Straw Hats becomes a hero to the eyes of the other gladiators in the factory. One of them is a giant from Elbaf, which doubles as epic foreshadowing.
    • Put it this way; Usopp's situation is very similar to Buggy's, during Ace's rescue in Marineford, where the prisoners praised him like a god.
      What Usopp said from everyone's perspective: You...people...will...be...gui...ded...b...y...me...
      Usopp's actual words: Put me down, you idiot...!! People like you are the worst...Will you stop...Hey beefy guy, open your blinded eyes...Blood is all over my face...Meathead...
  • The following exchange:
    Law: If you let me escape I'll kill you!
    Luffy: Don't move! It's hard to take these off when I can't touch the Sea Prism Stone.
    Violet: Be careful!
    Law: (Makes Wild Take) Are you listening to me!!?
• Chapter 745: Robin casually introducing Usopp, who's badly beaten up and his face is all bloody, to Sabo, Koala, and Hack. Usopp can barely say his name and the others are just creeped out by it.
• Chapter 746: Doflamingo enumerates the list of the twelve people he wants dead, and how much money he offers for their heads: Robin, Rebecca, Kin'emon, Viola, Franky (100,000,000 Berries each), Zoro, Kyros (200,000,000 Berries each), Luffy, Sabo, King Riku, and Law (300,000,000 Berries each). Just as Usopp expresses relief that he wasn't in the list, Doflamingo goes on to mention him, naming him as the guy who angered him the most, and offers 500,000,000 for his head. Usopp's Oh, Crap! face is priceless. It doubles as an Awesome Moment because the person he mentioned was Usopp. Capping it all off, Luffy thinks it's Actually Pretty Funny.
  • Anime version here.
  • Also, Bartolomeo geeking out at getting to meet Robin, and learning Usopp is Sogeking. And Sabo getting annoyed by his behavior.
  Sabo: You idiot! The hell are you getting all worked up over? Fuckin' fanbody. Shut it!
  Hack: (has a cast covering his broken arm) I cannot believe a weirdo like that managed to do this to my arm.
• Chapter 747:
  • The giant, imposing Pica finally speaks. He apparently speaks in a childish, high pitched, squeaky voice.
    • Even funnier in the anime. When reading the manga, you have to imagine the voice for yourself, but in the anime, you can hear how mismatched his voice is with his build.
  • Dellinger goes in to kick Luffy with his high heels, only for Zoro to kick him and divert the attack into Machvise's ass with painful results. For both of them.
  Machvise: HOLY SHIT, THAT HURTS!
  Dellinger: HOLY SHIT, HE'S FAT!
  • On an overall note, there's the fact that Law's plan to use the Straw Hats for his own goals has degenerated to him getting literally dragged around by the neck by Luffy.
    Law: (Held by Luffy while surrounded by Doflamingo pirates) Hey, Straw Hat, as soon as I get these handcuffs off I'll kill you first.
• Chapter 748 has all the gladiators meet up with Luffy, and declare that they'll repay their debt to the Straw Hats by killing Doflamingo even though Luffy wants to beat Doflamingo himself. Cue all of them threatening to get rid of Luffy if he won't get out of the way, even as they call him their savior.
  • Dagama is part of the group that wants to repay Luffy and ignore Doflamingo's bounty offer, but he has a few lumps on his head, suggesting he might have needed...persuasion.
  • Luffy continues to ignore Law's protests that they aren't friends.
    • As well as his annoyance that Luffy is only doing this for Rebecca because she gave him lunch.
    • Law in general during this chapter. You can see his exasperation over the fact that his plan to take down Doflamingo has degenerated into this.
  • Also, Cavendish is going into a speech on how killing Doflamingo will net him all sorts of popularity...completely unaware that Luffy's already ditched him.
  • Pica, in stone giant form, shows up and starts ranting against Luffy and the group following him... and the entire group starts to laugh, mocking Pica's childish, high pitched, squeaky voice. Pica is far from being amused.
• Chapter 749: Luffy realizing that Abdullah and Jeet have hitched a ride with him on Ucy.
  • Later in Chapter 751, Law and Luffy Jaw Drop upon witnessing Abdullah and Jeet get clotheslined off the bull's back.
    Luffy: ...
    Law: They fell off...They actually fell off...
• Chapter 751: When Fujitora tries to summon a meteor against Sabo, it strikes into the Birdcage and splits into several pieces which rain down over the city.
  Fujitora: Oops, my bad.
• Chapter 753: Kyros hitching a ride on Cavendish's horse, and Cavendish's repeated complaints about the situation while Luffy and Kyros ignore him and casually talk about their current situation. And then there's Law's thoughts on the situation:
  Law: (thinking) The bull's back had more space...
• Chapter 754: When we see Kanjuro use his Devil Fruit to draw a bird to life to aid in his escape, the bird is badly drawn and it doesn't look like it can fly. Even the prisoners point out how pitiful his drawing is.
  • Luffy, Law, Kyros, and Cavendish arguing over who will take down Doflamingo:
    Kyros: I have a 10-year-old debt to repay!
    Law: If we're gonna talk about time, then lemme tell ya, mine is 13-years-old!
    Luffy: Well then mine is 30-years-old!
    Cavendish: Stop pulling facts out of your ass, you idiot! There's no way you were even born that long ago!
• Chapter 755: Pick a Franky and Señor Pink moment. ANY Franky and Señor Pink moment.
  Tontatta Gnomes: The "Man's Fight" is about to begin!
  Señor Pink: Diaper Bomb!
  Franky: Nipple Light Special!
• Chapter 756: Sugar gaining a phobia of people with long noses and things that resemble long noses thanks to Usopp.
  Sugar: P-People with long noses better not stand next to me! People with long noses should just go and die!
• Chapter 757: When Robin talks about how Luffy's the trump card, there are shots of various battles going on. When we get to the SMILE factory, Franky and Senor Pink are doing what seems to be a synchronised swimming routine, while Kyuin squees in the background.
• Chapter 758: Just as Sugar is about to turn Luffy and Law into toys, a projectile fired by Usopp and shaped like his Nightmare Face from Chapter 742 zips by. Sugar screams her lungs out at the sight of it and faints instantly again. Doubles as an awesome moment because Usopp fired it from an insanely long distance. Using Haki.
• Chapter 761: Donquixote Corazon finally takes center stage and he's revealed to be a clumsy, accident-prone mute that really, really hates children and casually decided to throw Law out the window when they met for the first time.
• Chapter 762 isn't supposed to be that funny. But you do get the origin of Baby 5 and Law's Boke and Tsukkomi Routine as well as the revelation that Dellinger has been a part of Doflamingo's crew since he was an infant.
• Chapter 763 continues the Corazon hijynx in that whatever the crew is shown doing in a new place, he's ALWAYS falling flat on his ass. So he trips up in the snow-filled jungle, he trips up on a wealthy man's carpet, and even after battling other pirates he manages to set himself on fire again.
  • The fact that Law stopped Buffalo from telling Doflamingo that he stabbed Corazon in the back by bribing him with ice cream.
  • Doflamingo saving Law and Baby 5 from a vicious pirate? Kind of sweet. A tearful Baby 5 clinging to his leg as he tries to walk with his brother setting himself on fire (again) in the background? Hilarious.
• Chapter 764 takes Corazon's hilarity still further: upon learning Corazon can actually talk, but due to his Silence Devil Fruit can make himself effectively mute, Law wonders if Corazon is also hiding anything else. Cue the shot of Corazon managing to set himself on fire while trying to convince Law that he's really not clumsy as well. Naturally, Law doesn't buy that for a second.
  • And then when he gets dumped into the trash, the entire trashbin suddenly sets on fire. Law then bribes Buffalo again, asking Baby 5 to give him the money for an ice cream.
  • Corazon crying offscreen over his inability to save Law...*Clang* OW!
• Chapter 765 has Corazon try to impress Law with his Devil Fruit ability. First, he breaks a vase in complete silence. Then, he fires a bazooka, and the explosion makes no noise. Then, he farts, and it stinks but still makes no noise. The funny part: He does all these things while making a cheesy peace sign and having Bishie Sparkles every panel.
  • And then Law tells him his ability sucks. While having a shirt that bears the legend "AMAZED". Even better, Law's speech bubble in the manga actually pierces Corazon.
  • Corazon's conversation with Sengoku. Not the conversation itself, but the fact that Garp is apparently throwing a party in his office and getting yelled at in the background of the call.
  • There's also Sengoku's Spit Take when Corazon reveals that he knows about the trade for the Ope-Ope Fruit.
• Chapter 767 is quite a serious chapter, but there is a little gem: when Doflamingo's crew is hunting for Corazon, literally the moment they say "Where is Corazon?", immediately in the next panel he's running at them with the cheesy peace signs again. Just Gladius's reaction and the "We found Corazon." sells it.
  • And then we have the touching flashback panels for Corazon and Law as Corazon faces the music, and one of them is Corazon managing to trip over AND light himself on fire at the same time.
• Chapter 768 returns us back to the present with the on-going fights...and there's a panel of a battered-but-undefeated Senor Pink receiving (and returning) a tearful thumbs-up of encouragement FROM A KITTEN, with Franky trying not to cry Manly Tears over it.
• Chapter 770 has a meta-moment, when we finally have One Piece's unique laughs go to a level that Zoro, of all people, just outright tells Pika his laugh is simply just too unbelievable to be a natural laugh.
  • Also, this example of Crazy Is Cool:
    Orlumbus: Admiral's Dignity! 'Tention!
    (Mooks quickly stand at perfect attention in a straight line)
    Mook: Hey, why are we doing this?
    Orlumbus: Admiral's Killer Bowling! (Literally bowls the mooks over using another mook as a ball.)
  • Baby 5 mistaking Sai's words while he fought her as him trying to "hit" her and Sai being confused by this.
    Baby 5: Just tell me... If you're serious about this, why are you beating around the bush so much? Because I'm your enemy?! I don't care! Be honest with me!
    Sai: I don't know what you're talking about, lady!
    Baby 5: Don't play dumb!
    Sai: (during a flashback of his fight with Baby 5) This next blow will strike... straight through your heart!
    Baby 5: You said you were aiming for my heart...
    Sai: (during a flashback of his fight with Baby 5, grabbing Baby 5's hand) I'll hold this hand 'till you die!
    Baby 5: You wanted to hold hands our whole life...!
    Sai: (during a flashback of his fight with Baby 5, moving quickly) Don't wanna lose you on this one!
    Baby 5: And you never want to lose me, right?! If your feelings for me are that strong, then I don't care if we're enemies or not! Now, I understand... You need me, don't you?!
    Sai: Ehhh??
• Chapter 771 is full of old people gags with Lao G — he has a martial art stance known as "lower back pain", he literally almost dies of old age because it took too long to get to his part of the chapter, and when there's a tearful scene of his departure...he just comes back to life to tell them he couldn't hear what they were saying, could they repeat that?
  • And in the background of all this is Baby 5 wanting to marry Sai, and Sai having no idea what the hell is going on. Even the watching mooks are confused as to where the hell the conversation is going.
  • And after Sai inherits Chinjao's move, he tells Baby 5 he'll marry her if he defeats Lao G. After he does so, He tells everyone to call him Don and Baby 5 is "eliminated" (Having fallen in love).
    Two Donquixote Pirate Officers have fallen
    Lao G: into a chasm
    Baby 5 in love
• Chapter 772: Robin winks at Bartolomeo...and he has a huge facefault and begins to wonder if that means he can be her slave anytime, before getting a grip on himself.
  • The dub of course gets a little more... suggestive as it is hilarious.
    Bartolomeo: She was totally like, "Thanks there, rooster. You can be my slave, I'll even step on you if you behave." Okay, okay, sorry! Gotta check yourself, Barto! Keep that one on the realm of fantasies!
  • All of Bartolomeo and Cavendish's interactions.
  • As Sai is pleading with his grandfather not to die, Baby 5 says they now need two ceremony halls. For a wedding and a funeral. Chinjao gets back up and yells "Who's dead here?!"
• Chapter 773: Cavendish and Hakuba having an argument with Robin having a sweat drop at what she's witnessing. The man's face goes half Cavendish and half Hakuba at one point!
  Bartolomeo: (with bulging eyes) "HE'S HALF-AND-HALF!"
  • After Gladius fires off his poisonous barbed hair, he's left completely bald.
• Chapter 774: After Leo's kickass rescue of Princess Mansherry, the latter is relieved to see him again. But then Leo quickly ruins the moment by pointing out that the princess has put on some weight recently.
  • Leo never seems to realize Mansherry has a crush on him, even if it's pretty obvious to everyone else. Not even Luffy is that dense, as he eventually managed to figure out Hancock is in love with him.
  • And in the background of the phonecall to the Factory, Senior Pink and Franky are doing some sort of synchronized ballet while the factory explodes around them.
  • There's also Usopp freaking out at the idea of Sugar being revived by Manshelly's powers.
• The epic collective Jaw Drop of everyone who witnesses Zoro's defeat of Pica in Chapter 778.
  • As well as Elizabello II's pout at having his King Punch be used for cleanup. Sure, he saved everyone from certain doom (his cleanup was Pica's leftover stone body that was floating in midair and is about to fall on top of people), but still.
• Chapter 779:
  • During a flashback to Zoro's training with Mihawk, Mihawk wants Zoro to master having his sword entirely coated with Haki and forbids him to drink any alcohol until he does, much to Zoro's shock. Funnier still, Mihawk tells him this while casually sipping from a glass of wine.
  • When Koala calls Sabo for help, he tells her that she's capable enough to handle her problems herself. But when she brings up Luffy's safety, he tells her he'll be right there, much to her annoyance.
• Chapter 782:
  • Trebol turning out to be just a skinny hunched old man, with the big imposing coat just being a by-product of his DF.
• Chapter 783:
  • Cavendish's Insane Troll Logic when Luffy entrusts him to help everyone.
    Cavendish's thoughts: Entrust -> Faith -> Charisma -> Popularity -> Straw Hat's my fan?!
  • Bartolomeo still fan-gasming over Zoro taking out Pica.
  • On a more meta level, Oda goes on his scheduled once-every-3-weeks hiatus right after Luffy Reveals the existence of: Gear Fourth
• Chapter 784:
  • Gear Fourth has been revealed.. and it looks absolutely ridiculous, like some weird combination between Donkey Kong and Nightmare Luffy. Luffy is bouncing around like a rubber ball, and generally being ridiculously wacky...then does his first move, the Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun.
  • In the same chapter, we see Baby 5 mentally squeeing to herself when she refers to Sai with terms of endearment.
  • With Luffy gearing up to hit him, Doflamingo is being his usual self while mockingly dismissing the technique. Suddenly jump cut to the streets below where the townspeople have a Big "WHAT?!" reaction to Doflamingo suddenly crashing out of the sky in front of them. And his answer when they ask how he got there?
    Doflamingo: That's what I want to know!
  • The townspeople's reaction to Luffy dropkicking Doflamingo while flying is one of awe. Their reaction to Luffy bouncing like a ball afterward...
  • The cover page shows the Straw Hats having a picnic with zombies. Nami and Chopper are so scared they cling adorably onto Luffy, Usopp, and Brook are freaked out by a zombie's flying decapitated head (while the body is running off who knows where on its own), Zoro is enjoying himself and having some booze with another zombie, and Sanji looks positively delighted that a female zombie's biting his shoulder.
  • The anime even adds to the hilarity by having Luffy speak like a Kabuki actor when he first transforms.
• Chapter 785: A little girl begging for her injured grandmother to get up and keep running, with said grandmother telling her grandchild to leave her behind and run on her own is a Tear Jerker. But said grandmother running like hell with a funny expression, to the relief of her granddaughter who also has one hell of a face of her own (Seriously, that's Inelegant Blubbering at its finest) is really funny, and a welcome tension reliever.
• Chapter 786's cover art shows Luffy, Law, and a monkey together in a requested piece of art. What's so funny, you ask? Luffy and the monkey are trying to get Law to eat bread, as a call back to Chapter 700. Apparently, Law hates bread so much that he is willing to cut up said monkey in his Room while fighting a Gear Second Luffy. It's also quite endearing to see them both act like this during the Dressrosa arc.
  • In the chapter itself, the townsfolk are wondering if that's really Luffy. He tells them "Yeah, I am". Another person in the crowd repeats the rumor that he's an eight meter giant. Luffy just exasperates "Where do you hear this crap?"
• Chapter 788, Usopp yelling at the people of Dressrosa who have strength to help the Colosseum participants push the birdcage when they are having doubts.
  Usopp: Silence heathens! Believe in my friends!
  Random Civilian: Do not anger the God any further!
• Chapter 791: Gatz tries to announce Luffy's victory, but is so choked up by his Tears of Joy that he pronounces "winner" as "wiener".
• Chapter 792: Koala is in the middle of a conversation with Sabo via a Den-Den Mushi when the latter prematurely hangs up the call. Koala proceeds to start chewing the operator out while grabbing his cheek at the same time, while the poor confused operator tells her not to vent her anger on him.
• Chapter 793, the Marine soldiers running away in terror when they hear Fujitora and Akainu getting into a heated argument on the Den Den Mushi.
  • When Killer mentions that the Kid Alliance is targeting Shanks, half eaten noodles are seen dripping through the holes in his mask.
  • Given the nature of Jewelry Bonney's age altering powers, it's hilarious hearing a pizzaiolo screaming that an old lady stole some pizza, then we see a little girl eating said food. No one else could perform that particular style of theft.
  • In the anime, when Akainu and the Five Elder Stars are informed about Luffy's defeat of Doflamingo and the resulting destruction to Dressrosa, Akainu lets out a shocked and appalled Big "WHAT?!". The Elders response? More along the lines of an annoyed "Not again".
• Chapter 794:
  • A flashback shows the Revolutionary Army getting reports on Marineford's aftermath. One member asks if Dragon really is Luffy's father. Dragon's response is a very casual "Huh? Oh. Yeah." Like everyone already knew that and it wasn't a big secret.
  • Hack is having a conversation with Sabo via Den-Den Mushi when the latter hangs up too early. Hack proceeds to punch the operator from Chapter 792 with his bad hand.
  • Koala's Inelegant Blubbering reaction when Sabo wakes up from his three day-long coma. It's adorable, and a pretty nice tension reliever considering the Tear Jerker that happened immediately before.
  • Franky crying (again) is made darkly funny by the fact that his tears run into the exposed circuitry behind his left eye and start it smoking.
• Chapter 795: A blink and you'll miss it moment, but when they show the warriors & various other pirates, Happo Navy, etc. sleeping in the palace, you can see Hakuba chained up...justified but still amusing none the less.
  • Even funnier, the anime shows that Bartolomeo was the one that had him chained up when he realized he was sleeping with in the same room with the others.
• Chapter 796:
  • Luffy is going through a rollercoaster of emotions, being simultaneously worried about Sanji's group, sad that Sabo has left, ticked off at Kyros' story to cover up his relation to Rebecca, sleepy from his fights, and hungrily stuffing himself. After Kyros explains why he chose to cover up his relation to Rebecca, Zoro and Usopp glance at Luffy who, exactly like they expected, glares and doesn't buy it at all.
  • Bartolomeo rushes in to warn the Straw Hats about the Marines, but is blinded by "the laser beam of awesomeness" that is to see five of the Straw Hats in the same room and comments that if he ever saw the entire group, it would probably burn out his retinas.
  • Sengoku's new laid-back attitude. Just the fact that, in the two-years timeskip, he goes from being annoyed with Garp's attitude to pretty much behaving just like him is hilarious. Seems having no responsibilities will do that to you.
  • In comparison to Sengoku's new lackadaisical attitude and Tsuru smiling at the cute Manshelly, Bartomeleo's report of their arrival shows them as evil, ghastly silhouettes.
• The Chapter 797 cover shows the G-5 Marines throwing a party for Smoker's return. Everyone is rejoicing (complete with Tashigi happily and adorably biting into some cotton candy), but Smoker is completely unamused.
• In Chapter 798, the Marines' attempt to arrest the Straw Hats and other pirates made difficult by the Tontattas, who not only steal their weapons right from their pocket, but also take the gunpowder from their rifles! Leo even goes as far as to sew the Navy ships together, preventing them from setting sail, and the Marines can't cut the strings because anything that can be used to cut is gone! And why are Marines fainting left and right, even though Haki of the Supreme Kings' isn't being used? Princess Manshelly is taking just a little too much blood to use for her healing flowers, and thinks it's okay because Kyros said so!
• In Chapter 799, the face Fujitora makes when Luffy tells him he's not going to fight a blind-man without calling his attacks. Luffy seems to believe he won't be able to fight effectively unless he calls his attacks, and Fujitora makes a hilarious face just before he gets pissed.
  • An easy-to-miss example: After Luffy was snatched by Hajrudin mid-battle, Zoro steps forward donning a full-on Slasher Smile and exclaiming, "Alright, my turn!" Bartolomeo has to remind him the pirates were under a tight schedule.
• Chapter 800:
  • Luffy insists that he wants to be the Pirate King, not someone great. Cue his new allies leaning their heads to the side, as if to say "...the fuck?". Seeing these badass men lean to the side without losing their Badass Armfold is way funnier than it should be.
    • Law even lampshades the strange comment. "What...? What the hell is he talking about?"
  • After Luffy explains why he doesn't want to drink (aside from having no interest in alcohol) and become leader of the grand fleet, all seven captains drink anyways and consider themselves his subordinates of their own free will, much to Luffy's irritation. Furthermore, Luffy tries to point out that he didn't drink, but has to acknowledge that his cup is empty anyways (Zoro drank it all, and is right next to Luffy licking his chops).
    • Before this, Zoro is seen sampling the booze with his hands and commenting on its good taste, only to be admonished by Usopp.
  • Fujitora thanks Luffy out loud for cleaning up the Government's mess and taking down Doflamingo. Only problem, Sengoku overheard him and taunts him about it. Cue Fujitora's Oh, Crap! face.
  • A minor one, but after the heartwarming moment between Rebecca and him, Kyros starts crying Tears of Joy again. Rebecca playfully teases him about it, but Kyros vehemently denies it.
  • During the party:
    • Cavendish is quite obviously wasted and laughing his ass off.
    • Bartolomeo can't take in so much happiness and is crying Tears of Joy again, with Leo trying to comfort him.
    • Zoro is happily drinking booze, and is visibly trying to get Law to participate as he has an arm over his shoulder. Law, on the other hand, looks really annoyed and gives Zoro a Death Glare. The anime makes it even funnier where Zoro outright hauls Law away from his spot by himself to do it and Law can't get free despite trying.
    • In the Anime, Luffy is flying around with a giant slice of meat, and Jeet and Sai all try to fight it away from him like a pack of dogs. Knowing Luffy, they didn't stand a chance.
• On a more Meta level: Whenever Luffy wants a new crew member, he persists on them joining until they eventually do. This time, he has over 5000 pirates wanting to be under his wing and Luffy wants none of it, only for them to force themselves on him. It's some pretty delicious irony.
  • Knowing Luffy, it's justified: as the 5600 guys are already pirates, i.e "free men", Luffy thinks it'll be bad to rob their freedom off them if he takes them under his wing (that, and he thought they're going to be an actual part of the crew, which is incorrect). On the other hand, when he wants someone under his wing, it's because he's "freeing" them from their constrains in some way. The irony is still there, though.
• Chapter 801:
  • The grateful citizens of Dressrosa are building statues of Luffy as Lucy, Kyros, and Usopp. While Kyros and Lucy's statues depict them with badass poses, Usopp's shows his Nightmare Face from Chapter 742.
  • Bartolomeo's ship is the "Going Luffy-senpai", with a giant Luffy-shaped figurehead, and the Straw Hats' bounty posters framed in his room. His crew is also just as gaga over the Straw Hats as he is. Usopp even comments that it looks more like something Luffy would have than either of Luffy's ships.
    • There's also Bartolomeo nonchalantly telling Law that he threw his bounty photo in the trash.
      Bartolomeo: But just in case you were wondering, it went up to 500 million.
      Law: Oh, thanks. This is me caring.
  • The new bounty posters:
    • Usopp's shows him all beat up, and says "God" Usopp. Even more hilarious, his bounty went from the third lowest (30 million) in the Straw Hat Crew to the third highest (200 million), only behind Luffy and Zoro. Also, Usopp doesn't know whether to be excited that he's got such a high bounty or scared because now all the big shots will be coming after him.
    • Chopper's bounty has been upgraded...to 100 Berries. His new picture isn't much better than his old one either.
    • Nami's new bounty picture is SOMEHOW another pin-up, and Brook's picture is a poster of one of his concerts.
    • Franky is mad that Usopp's bounty is now higher than his, and lashes out at him.
      Franky: (strangling Usopp) You gotta be kidding me! Why the hell did yours go up so much!? I'm the only one that hasn't broken 100 million! That's utter crap!
      Usopp: Guah! Even my crewmates are gunning for me!
    • The supreme Irony in this? Usopp's bounty is the same amount of Berries that the Franky Family stole from him in Water 7. Knowing Oda, it was more than likely intentional.
    • Sanji's poster doesn't show a poorly-drawn sketch of him anymore, but his typical goofy heart-eyed look. Well, at least it is his face this time...And well, not so funny after we see this lead to..
• Also on Bartolomeo's wall are autographs from each of the Straw Hats. In particular, Luffy's signed his "ore", basically meaning he signed his "me", while Zoro's is just the kanji for katana, Robin drew a picture of a rooster with hers, to go along with the crew's nickname for Bartolomeo.

Zou Arc

• Chapter 802:
  • We finally see what the Barto Club Pirates are like at sea; Shockingly, they're even more useless at sailing than Luffy and Zoro were at the start of the story. They don't even have a navigator, but instead call Gambia's grandmother on the snail phone whenever there's trouble. Here more comical, her advice is useless.
  • Usopp being flattered when Law called him by his epithet, "God" and Franky, who is still mad that Usopp's bounty is higher than his, glaring at Usopp. But when this is followed up by Law casually noting that the Navy Admirals will be on the lookout for Usopp now, the latter is immediately horrified and laments that he was ignoring the reality of the situation.
  • Law taking advantage of Bartolomeo's love for the Straw Hats:
    Law: Can you give us some of your food supplies?
    Bartolomeo: Why should I help you?!
    Law: Fine. Will you give Straw Hat-ya some of your food?
    Bartolomeo: Go ahead an' take everything we've got!
• Chapter 803:
  • As Bartolomeo and his crew say their goodbyes to the Straw Hats, mentioning how it's been an honor fighting alongside them, they realize that the crew is completely ignoring them...not that they mind.
  • The dragon Kanjuro drew to life is so pathetically drawn that the Straw Hats, who initially believed it was some kind of snake or worm, can't help but feel sorry for the poor thing. Aside from Robin, that is, who finds it so cute she's blushing. She even looks seconds away from having a Cuteness Overload! Later, they name the dragon Ryunosuke.
    • A Casting Gag comes to mind in that Luffy's Japanese VA voiced a character named Ryunnosuke in Urusei Yatsura.
  • Kin'emon, who can't stand dragons, glares at Kanjuro upon seeing it. Kanjuro's response? "An eye for an eye, as they say", with a big smile on his face.
  • As Koala makes her report to Dragon about the weapons they got back from Dressrosa, the latter asks how Robin is doing. Koala mentions she's doing fine, but is confused why he's not asking about Luffy, before Dragon answers that he already heard plenty enough about him from Sabo.
  • When Kanjuro mentions that their ally Raizou is a ninja, all the men get excited with gleaming lights above them. Including Law.
• Chapter 804
  • The crew's reaction, and subsequent mourning, of the "death" of Kanjuro's dragon is funny in itself. But Zoro and Law's dismissive attitude is equally hilarious.
    Law: This is ridiculous.
  • As the Straw Hats and Law enter Zou proper, you can even see Robin leaving flowers on the dragon's "grave".
  • Robin notes that the creature that fell towards them looked like a person with lots of knives sticking out of him and bleeding...though it could also be a monkey.
  • As the rest of the gang swiftly dodges the falling monkey, Kanjuro starts playing "Guess Who?" with Kin'emon out of nowhere (To the latter's hilarity, despite Kanjuro being the only person behind him); as a result, they get bonked full force right in the face and fall off.
• Chapter 805:
  • Luffy runs into Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi. Queue a mess of a conversation where the Heart Pirates ask about their captain, unaware that the "Traffy" Luffy is talking about is in fact Law.
    Luffy: Hm? Oh! You're that talking bear from Traffy's crew!
    Bepo: 'Traffy'? You've got it all wrong, we're subordinates of Trafalgar Law! The Heart Pirates!
    Luffy: Yeah, that's what I said.
    Bepo: NO IT ISN'T!
    Penguin: Man, we've been keeping up to date with the papers! Crazy news at every turn! I guess we're in an alliance now, huh?
    Shachi: Is our captain with you?
    Luffy: Yeah. Traffy's here too.
    All three: ARE YOU HARD OF HEARING, WE HAVE NO RELATION TO THIS TRAFFY?!
    • What makes it even better is that Luffy is the one who clears up the misunderstanding.
    Luffy: Traffy...is what I call Law.
• Chapter 806:
  • Wanda and Carrot's affection for Luffy's skin. Wanda keeps licking him, and Carrot is biting him. The latter leading to Usopp believing they're trying to eat him.
  • Kin'emon and Kanjuro try to climb up Zou again, this time on a poorly-drawn cat. Kanjuro's logic is that "cats are good at climbing".
    • And then the elephant bathes itself. Cue a massive Oh, Crap! and Hilarity Ensues.
  • Law uses Shambles to transport himself and the remaining Straw Hats to Luffy's location. Only he and Robin land on their feet. The rest of the crew land on their faces.
• Chapter 808:
  • After being told in the previous chapter that they shouldn't mention the Wano country or ninjas and samurais to the Mink tribe, as Jack wrecked the country looking for Raizo, Luffy expectedly can't help but talk about them anyway. A shocked Brook, Nami, and Usopp promptly beat the shit out of him before he says too much. This actually becomes Harsher in Hindsight when it's revealed that the Minks and Samurai are actually century-long friends, meaning that not only was Luffy pummeled for nothing (for once), but if the others hadn't stifled him, they would've learned the truth earlier.
    Brook: You see? Watch what you say to the Minks. So no ninja, samurai or Land of Wano talk. If they find out that Kin'emon has a possible connection to this tragedy, it could be a complete disaster.
    Luffy: What a bummer... Where's that ninja from Wano? Kin'emon wanted to see him right? What a shame.
    (Usopp, Brook and Nami all react with shocked expressions to Luffy's comment while Wanda picks up what he said)
    Wanda: "Ninja"?
    (Wanda's about to continue until Brook Bone-Bone chops Luffy down, followed by Nami and Usopp plumbing Luffy to silence him.)
    Wanda: I see, so you are familiar with that tribe. Then, you-teia must know something about Wano!
    Nami: (While still punching Luffy) Don't mind him! He's new here! We're teaching him, now... About minkship!
    Wanda: No, that wasn't my question! What was he saying about "ninja"?
    Brook: I think you simply misheard him! What he actually said was... uh... INJURED! He's worried about your injured Duke!
    Wanda: Not "ninja"? Oh, of course! How foolish of me! That's so kind of you-teia! I'm touched that you-teia are so concerned about our leader!
    Brook: Why, of course, we are!
    (Everyone expect Luffy nervously chuckles. Said Luffy tries to say "ninja" again, only for Usopp, Brook and Nami to punch him one final time. Cue later to Luffy with a swollen face.)
    Luffy: (weakly) I don't think I like minkship anymore...
  • Shishilian is so over-the-top that he doesn't just kneel to show gratitude: he leaps into the air before kneeling. When Luffy notes that he's really overbearing, an annoyed Nami lightly punches him in the cheek.
• Chapter 809:
  • Poor Brook can't seem to get a break with the canine Minks as even their king, Duke Dogstorm, drools at the very sight of him!
    Brook: Drool!
    Wanda: I know what you mean. He's our savior too.
    Dogstorm: What a delicious-looking savior.
    Wanda: You're still recovering right now. Wait until later.
    Brook: No!! Not later either!!!
• Chapter 810:
  • How did the Curly Hats get on Zou? They used Caesar like a hot air balloon.
• Episode 762 (Chapter 811/812): Sanji starts taking advantage of the Minks' friendliness by nuzzling all the female Minks. When some male Minks try to show their affection, Sanji turns them all down, stating he doesn’t want it from men. This gives the male Minks the impression that Human males are only friendly with females. Of course, when he tries to get friendly with Nami, she socks him in the jaw.
• Chapter 814:
  • Cat Viper is an absolute riot here:
    • After scaring off Bege in the flashback, he gives a heartfelt word, and then ruins the moment by diving into a catnip bush. Nami, Brook, Carrot, and Wanda's reactions say it all.
    • When he's introduced in the present, he's seen eating lasagna and acting like such a goofy Manchild that his wounds actually reopen. No wonder Brook likes him.
  • Chopper channels Sanji a bit when he meets Milky, a female reindeer Mink.
    Usopp: Oi, Chopper! Why are you so stiff?
    Chopper: I'm not stiff, dummy!
• Chapter 815 is full to the brim of comedy gold:
  • Luffy telling Pekoms that he doesn't want to be Big Mom and co.'s underlings when Sanji gets married...so they will become his underlings instead. When Pekoms freaks out at this, Luffy responds casually and tells Pekoms that his eyes are cute. Carrot joins him in laughing.
  • So what does Carrot think about the idea of Luffy going to go see Big Mom, and potentially starting a fight with the Emperor before she's told off by Wanda?
    Carrot: Waaaah...That sounds like fun...!!
  • Luffy decides that Pekoms will take him with him to the tea party when he returns to Big Mom (ignoring Pekoms's protests). As a result, this conversation happens a few panels later:
    Chopper: Heeyyy, Luffy! Zoro! How's Pekoms?
    Luffy: Ah, Chopper! He's in pain, slamming his head against the wall and shouting! Hurry up and heal him!
    Chopper: Ehh? What the heck kind of symptoms are those?! I'll come take a look!
  • Cat Viper continues to bring the hilarity: He followed Chopper's group to come see Luffy, cheerfully stating that he's all better now. He then attempts to glomp Luffy and Zoro, but just ends up tackling them...which re-opens his wounds again to the point that he needs a blood transfusion, and angers Zoro, who starts threatening to skin him.
    • Chopper then gets another Distracted by the Sexy moment when Milky agrees to bring him the blood he needs for the transfusion.
    • Made even better when Law (who came to talk to Luffy) happens to walk up at the moment all of this is happening, and can only watch the ruckus with a Sweat Drop.
    • A few panels later, in an easy-to-miss Funny Background Event, Zoro actually has pulled out his swords like he's gonna follow through on his threat, with Usopp trying to hold him back.
  • Law introduces the rest of the Heart Pirates, who all strike dorky fighting poses. Luffy greets them with a cheerful "Yo!"...and then the two captains promptly begin ignoring them in order to talk strategy, much to their great disappointment.
  • The Straw Hats' talk with Law only lasts a page before Cat Viper randomly decides to throw a party. Naturally, Luffy is totally down, and despite Chopper's protests, cut to the next panel, where a raucous party has already begun.
  • The three oldest Straw Hats — Robin, Franky, and Brook — do not partake in the festivities and wait outside the city for the samurai to show up in order to prevent them from entering, citing as they do so that the three of them must be the "responsible adults". Cut to morning, and we find that said "adults" have failed at their objective...because all three of them are snoring away on the ground.
    • Also, following the theme of Franky's ever-more-outrageous hairdos, his new hair is now in the shape of a whale: the exact same whale-shape as the tree in the aptly-named Whale Forest.
• Chapter 816:
  • The Straw Hats scramble to try and find Kanjuro and Kin'emon before the two samurai can be discovered by the Mink tribes, given the apparent sour history between the Minks and the land of the Wano. Two problems, however:
    • Luffy's not a morning person — he's half-asleep even while dashing at full sprint.
    • He also thinks that when the Minks discover the two samurai, there's going to be another banquet. Cue Nami clawing his face while shouting at him that this is a problem.
  • After just barely being hidden from sight by the Straw Hat pirates, and being warned about the suffering the Mink kingdom went through thanks to Jack's search for Raizou — and hence, the likely mistrust that the Minks must surely have for anyone from the kingdom of Wano — what does Kin'emon do? He steps right out into the open, identifies himself as a samurai of the Wano kingdom, and asks around for Raizou!!
    • Which then leads to the Wild Take from most of the Straw Hats when The Reveal involving the Minks and Samurai surfaces.
• Chapter 817:
  • Everyone gets excited over getting to meet a real ninja, even Law.
    Franky: It has nothing to do with us being pirates. All men...are obsessed with ninjas!
  • When they finally meet Raizou, they're disappointed that he doesn't have a ninja look. Then they start demanding he do all the stereotypical ninja tricks (including Zoro and Law) but Raizou just gets annoyed saying that ninja aren't like that. When he sees the Straw Hats look dejected, he proceeds to do all those tricks.
    • Their responses to it are just as hilarious. Law looks like he's trying hard to remain The Stoic after Raizou performs his requested cloning jutsu, and Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper begin crying Manly Tears while proclaiming, "Raizou is our god!"
  • It's also amusing to see Momonosuke's lecherous habit back-fire on him. After his true identity as the heir to the throne is revealed, he tries cuddling with Nami again for protection...and she promptly takes advantage of his position to talk about getting a reward out of his real father. Methinks Nami was well-aware of his motives and just played with them.
    • Though its now much more Harsher in Hindsight when we discovered his dad was boiled alive in order to maintain the secrets and died protecting his son and his retainers.
• Chapter 818:
  • When Cat Viper mentions that the Road Poneglyphs in the hands of the Emperors have been copied multiple times, Usopp happily states that all they have to do is steal them and not get in a big fight. Luffy delivers a hilarious combination of a grimace and scowl at Usopp's idea.
  • When the group has a mass-Jaw Drop at some of the exposition being delivered, even Franky's whale-hair joins in.
• Chapter 819:
  • When Kin'emon asks Law and the Straw Hats to help fight Kaido and the Shogun of Wano, Usopp is excited to have the minks and the samurai at their side, only for Luffy to say "No". Usopp's reaction is hilarious.
  • Law gets a Wild Take. Why? Luffy explains to Momonosuke that being allies means being friends. Looks like poor Law is still in denial about being True Companions with Luffy.
  • Brook explains that since Momonosuke is too young, he has to rely on adults to make important decisions for him. Nami agrees but Brook, rightfully, points out that she's the last adult that should be making decisions for him.
  • Luffy agrees to lend the aid of the Straw-Hat/Heart Pirate Alliance to the Minks and Samurai. Queue Law getting moody at him for acting without his consent, although not because Law didn't want to help the people of Zou and the Wano Kingdom.
    Law: Straw Hat-ya what about your faith in me? You never asked for my opinion!
    Luffy: Hm? But you're fine with it, aren't you?
    Law: THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
    • Dogstorm, Momonosuke, Law, and Luffy seal the deal on their new alliance with a sweet four-way fistbump.
  • So after the Pirate-Ninja-Mink alliance is formed, Luffy says they're going to need Sanji's strength and claims he's worth 1000 men. Zoro, being Zoro, asserts that he's worth 2000 men. What sells it is how Nami patronizingly pats his head while agreeing with him.
• Chapter 820:
  • Nami gets a lot of praise from Dogstorm and the other Straw Hats for being a great navigator, causing her to blush, but then Luffy pats her on the back a bit too strongly, causing her to beat him up because it hurts.
  • Despite being in the Marineford war with him, Luffy can't remember Marco until Robin points out he looks a bit like a pineapple.
  • As Dogstorm joins in with Catviper regarding their pasts with the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates, Usopp berates them as they were still vicious enemies not 10 minutes ago.
  • When Catviper reminisces about his past with the Roger Pirates, he wondered if he managed to find the crew that left the little whale (Laboon) behind. Brook nonchalantly informs him that they all died. Catviper's reaction sells the deal.
    • Whereas Nami got furious upon being ignored by everyone.
  • When Dogstorm and Cat Viper talk about their adventures, particularly with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, Usopp starts taking notes down to catch up with what was said, apparently even his brain can't handle how much awesomeness was told to him.
  • Momonosuke claims he's also met with Gold Roger. Usopp falls for it for a second, then has a Double Take when he realizes there's no way Momo was even born that long ago. Hilarious in Hindsight as Momo could have actually met Roger, as he and his retainers are all from 20 years into the past.
  • When Raizou sees all the Minks alive and well, he delivers his secret Ninpo: I Love You Jutsuuuu!
  • When Luffy's about to leave to get Sanji from Big Mom, Nami announces that she's coming; she feels guilty about what happened. "Sure." Chopper also states that he's coming because Pekoms, who will be taking Luffy, is still injured. "Sure." Then Brook declares that he will come to cheer them up with his music;
    Luffy: Sure.
    Nami: Nah, we don't need him.
    • This becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when Brook single-handedly is responsible for one of the most important leaps in the Straw Hats' quest ever come the following trip to Whole Cake Island. Had Nami been serious about not needing Brook, she would have screwed them out of information from three Poneglyphs.
• Chapter 821:
  • So, what does Luffy decide to do after everything is all settled down? Why ask for food for the trip he's about to make, of course!
    Luffy: Well then, we'll be off! Do me a favor and give us a buncha food!
• Chapter 822: This chapter is loaded with more funny than you can shake a stick at:
  • Luffy misnaming Pekoms over and over again.
  • Pekoms claimed that his special turtle shell is as hard as a diamond. Luffy then promptly ignores it. What sells it is that right afterwards:
    Pekoms: No comments on the "diamond" part? I see.
  • Then there's Pekoms reaction to when Luffy hauls him so that they can go meet Big Mom. Pekoms then delivers the best line in this chapter:
    Pekoms: I can't believe this guy! Worst Savior Ever!
  • After that scene, we see that several of the Minks want to go with Luffy's group but some of their reasons are downright hilarious.
  • Then we're treated to Nami having a ball with her new Clima-Tact. And promptly making a quick getaway to skip on paying for it!
  • Milky nuzzles Chopper goodbye, and he gets Wingding Eyes.
  • Finally, we cut to Luffy's group (consisting of Chopper, Nami, Brook, Pedro, and Pekoms) departing the only way Luffy knows how: By jumping off the elephant!!
    • Everyone's reaction to it as well, screaming "HOLY SHIIITTTT" and the rest of Luffy's team screaming, when Brook's soul even left his body!! In the anime, it reaches new levels of ridiculous when another soul leaves this soul and then another soul leaves that soul. They don't call him "Soul King" for nothin', folks!!
    • Also, there's the fact that the other four Straw Hats (Zoro, Usopp, Robin, and Franky) don't react this way, and just cheerfully bid them goodbye while remaining totally unfazed. Considering how often Luffy does this, they even seem happy that, this time, it's not them who suffer this.
• Chapter 823:
  • Vivi enjoying the sea breeze while Igaram is begging her to come down from the crow's nest.
  • Then we have Igaram quickly silencing Pell for trying to mention the fact that Vivi had sailed with the Straw Hats two years prior.
  • Finally, we have Vivi jump from the crow's nest and land safely all the while making Igaram have an Oh, Crap! face before delivering this line:
    Igaram: AAAAAGHHH!!!! You'll be the death of me, Princess!
  • King Elizabello II's castle is shaped like him flexing his arms.
  • Cut to Luffy and his team — who, except Luffy, are still catatonic after the stunt he pulled up with them — where we find out that Carrot has decided to tag along...and everyone's reactions sell this, especially Luffy's double take.
  • Carrot...simply Carrot alone guarantees a lot of laughs from her greeting everyone to making the whole operation sound like a slumber party.
    • To prove she won't be a burden, Carrot reveals that she brought her own provisions, which consist of: lunch (carrot), juice (carrot), snacks (carrot), and extra clothes. And when Luffy starts eating the carrot, she snaps and attacks his throat...until he pats her on the head, at which point she cheerfully allows him to have the carrot.
    • Carrot proves herself to be even more naive than Chopper by not realizing just how big a deal going out to sea would be. The reason she brought the amount of provisions she did is because she didn't expect the trip to take longer than a day. She's shocked that it will take several days, even going straight there, and is unable to believe that anything could be that huge. She declares the sea a wonderland, and Pekoms corrects her that it's a sea, not a land.
• Chapter 824:
  • Luffy seeing a picture of Dragon in the paper (talking about how the Revolutionary's base was attacked) and goes from "THIS GUY'S MY DAD?!" to "Huh...First time I'm actually seeing him. Doesn't look a thing like me. ANYWAY, I'M WORRIED ABOUT SABO!"
  • As the Straw Hats and allies are talking about the Revolutionaries, the kitchen of the Sunny suddenly blows up and catches fire; Luffy forgot to turn off the stove while cooking.
  • In a Funny Background Event, while the group is reading the paper, Carrot starts nibbling on Luffy again. Then she moves on to nibbling on Pedro's arm.
  • Another Funny Background Event on the same page is Chopper seeming to have found another person's head to jump on instead of Zoro's when he's scared. The unlucky sap is Pekoms. The poor guy probably wishes he never came back to Zou.
  • Carrot's reaction to thunder and lightning is both funny and adorable.
    Carrot: KYAAAAH! What the heck is going on!? Is that Electro!?
  • Luffy's cooking. His "secret random curry", made from fishbones, way too much jam, uncooked rice and God knows what else, brings everyone to tears. When Luffy tries to take a bit while mumbling about how "ungrateful" everyone is, not even he can stand it. Worse still is that he blew the group's entire week worth of food to make it, to Nami, Chopper and Brook's horror.
  • Kaido, arguably the most powerful of the Four Emperors, whose name causes anyone to tremble in fear...drunkenly bawling his eyes out over the loss of SMILE and artificial Devil Fruits, crushing his dream of having an all Devil Fruit crew. This pathetic side of him doesn't last long though, and he instantly becomes terrifying again.
  • As it turns out, Pudding a.k.a. Big Mom's 35th daughter, is not a Gonk like her mother is. Sanji's reaction to seeing a picture of her is...predictable and hilarious.

Whole Cake Island Arc

• Chapter 825:
  • Big Mom's ship looks like something out of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, including a living door that only opens if you tell it to.
  • So we have Gotti, a member of the Firetank Pirates, go up to Sanji and getting ready to kill him for making fun of Vito. Vito tries to stop him, but instead we have a Gonk of a woman show up and chastise Gotti for trying to kill Sanji right before he's pulled away by the ear. And while Gotti is being pulled away, he apologizes several times to the woman for even thinking of killing Sanji.
  • Caesar Clown continues to suffer a Humiliation Conga as he's locked in a cage while Sanji is treated like royalty despite being a prisoner too, much to his disdain.
  • After being with Sanji, we cut back to the Retrieval Team where it's revealed that after a few days...they are all suffering for Luffy's cooking and the able-bodied members are fishing for food. Special points to Luffy, who looks like he's turning into a mummy and later glances at Chopper with this line:
    Luffy: Emergency food supply...
    Chopper: Don't look at me like that!
    • Even funnier, when you realize what Sanji said at the end of the Drum Island arc that Chopper is emergency food supply almost becomes true.
  • Brook goes back to asking Nami for panties. And she then says she's too weak to reprimand him.
  • After finally catching a fish, the group decides to eat it. Chopper then runs into Sanji's locker (which is full of perverted magazines) to find a book about fish that Sanji has. When Chopper returns, Luffy is already eating the fish and is about to hand some over to Carrot right after Chopper learns that the fish's skin is poisonous. Cue a bit later where, after Nami has properly cooked the fish per Sanji's instructions (in a cookbook), we have Luffy frothing at the mouth and suffering for his mistake, with Nami not really caring about Luffy's immediate problem while Chopper eats the cooked fish while he is worried over Luffy's condition. The conversation alone is genius:
    Carrot: Luffy~ Is he really gonna die?
    Luffy: It's alright...the light...It's so beautiful...
    Nami: Don't worry he's got some freakish constitution...
    Chopper: Don't go to the light at the of the tunnel, Luffy!
• Chapter 826:
  • Not only does Yonji look so much like his older brother Sanji that the Straw Hats keep mistaking him for their crew member, but he even has the same lecherous habit as his brother, as he instantly gets lovestruck as soon as he sees Nami. When he and Reiju leave, he even grabs a copy of Nami's wanted poster to gawk at.
  • As soon as Yonji removes his hood, everyone catches on that he's not Sanji as they originally thought, except for Carrot, who actually asks Nami how she managed to figure out they were siblings.
  • Reiju's method of extracting the poison from Luffy mouth-to-mouth leaves Nami blushing, and Brook envious.
    • Reiju's flirty tone herself indicates that she may be just as lecherous as her younger brothers, but expresses it differently. Looks like It Runs in the Family.
  • After Luffy recovers, he immediately calls Reiju "Sanji". Chopper has to point out she's a woman. He also asks for more of the "delicious" fish skin.
  • Brook gets to ask for Reiju's panties. Nami quickly tries to stop him.
• Chapter 827:
  • The entirety of Cocoa Island is made of chocolate, to Luffy and Chopper's absolute delight.
  • As Nami and Carrot put on new clothes, Brook leans down on the ground near them, to try and get a good view. By the time Nami notices, he's laying on his side nonchalantly, tea cup in hand. He promptly gets beaten up for his trouble.
  • Pekoms tries to warn Luffy to keep a low profile, but he's already gone somewhere by then. As Pekoms starts to worry what will happen if Luffy gets found out, Nami cheerfully tells him that Luffy sticks out so much that finding him should be no trouble; indeed, just as she finishes her sentence, a voice is heard screaming that someone ate a café.
    Nami: *smiling* Aaand there you go...
    Pekoms: You've got to be shitting me!
    • As the police officer berates Luffy and Chopper for having eaten a café, Chopper states that they had a very good reason for having eaten the entire café while it still had customers inside.
    Chopper: But old man we had a very good reason for doing what we did...
    Police Officer: Oh...? Fine, what? Go on, spill it!
    Luffy & Chopper: It was too delicious not to eat!!
    • The owner of said cafe is angry with Luffy and Chopper because they didn't eat the entire thing.
    • The cafe owner turns out to be Lady Charlotte Pudding herself. When she invites Luffy's group to her house, she asks them their names. Luffy, per usual, goes "I'm Luffy! I'm gonna be a pir—" before Nami quickly stops him.
• Chapter 828:
  • The chart topper for the funny in this chapter has to be the fact that Sanji, the biggest womanizer known in One Piece, TURNED DOWN PUDDING!!!! That is so surprising, that it shocks the Sanji Retrieval Team to mere phantoms of themselves.
    Pudding: In the end he shared something with me. "I really want to marry you, but I can't. I've gotta return to my friends."
    Luffy, Brook, Nami, & Chopper: Are you saying...SANJI. TURNED. DOWN. A. WOMAN!?
  • Even Luffy and Chopper get in on it
  • When Pudding realizes that her hosts are the Straw Hats, she gets scared and draws a knife. Just as Nami tries to calm her down and tell her they have no intention of being violent, Pedro lunges at Pudding, holding his rapier next to her throat.
  • As the Straw Hats learn that their host is Sanji's bride-to-be, everyone has a Mass "Oh, Crap!" moment, except for Carrot, who's too busy eating away at the walls. Her only reaction is to turn with a "Hm? Did she say something?" expression.
  • As the Sanji retrieval team is heading back to the Sunny, Luffy, Chopper, Carrot and even Pedro are distracted by the choco burgers, choco pasta, and chocolate fried chicken on sale in a nearby store.
• Chapter 829:
  • A few good jokes here. One of the more funny ones is when Nami states to go starboard.
  Nami: Luffy, to starboard! To 3 o' clock!
  Luffy: You heard her, Chopper! Carrot! To Sanji!
  • The best part of the above is that Luffy is swinging the ship's wheel so fast and hard, it's on fire!
  • Then we have Luffy stating that he will go cook. Again. Nami quickly takes over.
  Luffy: We're not gonna pay you for the food!
  Nami: I don't want your money!
• Chapter 830:
  • Aladine comments that Jimbei has spoken highly about Luffy very often within the last two years since the Marineford War. Jimbei is surprised he actually talked about Luffy that much.
• Chapter 831:
  • Luffy's group is attacked by a talking crocodile wearing a hat. By accident. He really just wanted to eat the donut bridge they were on and walks off after he sees them. Luffy is annoyed that they weren't "good enough to eat" but Nami is freaking out because it's a talking crocodile. Luffy asks why that should freak her out at this point, with the panel focusing on Chopper and Carrot. Nami concedes that's a good point.
  Nami: The issue here is that we've got a talking crocodile wearing a hat! I knew this place was dangerous... and weird!
  Luffy: Uh, we've got talking animals with hats... right here.
  [Cuts to Chopper and Carrot staring at Nami with blank "Really?" expressions.]
  Nami: Come on, you know what I mean...!
  • When the crew spots Sanji again, he's holding a lollipop. A possible meta reference to the much-maligned Macekre dub from 4Kids.
• Chapter 833: We get to see what happened to Yonji after he picked a fight with Sanji. His face is so beaten up that the doctor (who is trying to hammer his face back into shape) decides that since the hammer is not working, he'll have to use the press machine to get it back to normal (and it works too)!
• Chapter 834:
  • The faces Brook and Pedro make when they realize Big Mom and her crew already know they're here.
  • The Gonk of a woman from Chapter 825 is revealed to be Capone Bege's wife, and their son is introduced: he's his father's spitting image, complete with Perma-Stubble and cigar.
  • It turns out that Caesar Clown has realized his research for gigantification will never succeed, so he's been conning Big Mom out of her funds to party hard and enjoy his fill of Hookers and Blow this whole time. Upon reminiscing of those events, he cracks a perfect replica of a Troll Face◊.
  • To cover up that his giantification research was a failure and that he was using the funds Big Mom gave him on himself, Caesar Clown told her that it was because the Straw Hats' destroyed his Punk Hazard lab and research that he couldn't complete his work. Big Mom then reveals that they had prepared a duplicate of his lab so he could finish his research (which they expect to be done in two weeks), resulting in an epic Face Fault from Caesar. The poor bastard cannot catch a break.
  • The ending of the chapter where Luffy is gathering up his friends, which are clearly not them as they're making animal sounds and there's multiples of them (three Sanjis, two Choppers, two Namis, two Carrots, and oddly enough even a Pudding).
• Chapter 835:
  • The Cover page has the Straw Hats eating ice-cream; Robin, Zoro, Sanji, and (somehow) Brook have brain freeze.
  • Luffy actually ties up the real Nami without realizing it. Her frustrated reaction and Luffy's subsequent Oh, Crap! face is hilarious.
• Chapter 836:
  • Randolph comes back to fight Luffy and Nami, only to be stopped by Cracker. So, when Cracker tells him off for butting into things, Randolph decides to blame the crane he's been riding for interfering!
    • What makes this even funnier is Randolph has been entirely silent the entire time we've seen him, lending him a serious-air, similar to Mihawk. But the moment he actually speaks up, trying to blame his mount for his own involvement, it loses him all that mystique, to be replaced with this hilarity.
  • Where did Nami keep the Vivre Card that Lola gave her all this time? Why in Victoria's Secret Compartment, of course!
• Chapter 838:
  • Nami promptly uses Big Mom's Vivre Card to subdue the Homies attacking her and Pound, claiming she wouldn't shed a single tear if every one of them suffered a miserable death, and makes a hell of a face in the process.
    Nami: "Commander Cracker" or his mother, "Big Mom" of the Four Emperors...Which one do you think is scarier?
    Homies: You beat them both hands down!
  • After Chopper comes up with a plan to use Brulee's powers against her, he demands Carrot pay him due respect by calling him "brother Chopper". Carrot immediately starts calling him "Chobro".
  • Charlotte Cracker is a man with the bounty of 860 million berries, one of the Three Sweet Commanders, and his Devil Fruit power is revealed to be...creating and manipulating biscuits. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the series' new champion of Heart Is an Awesome Power.
• Chapter 839:
  • Even as a kid Sanji couldn't resist flirting with the ladies at the Baratie.
• Chapter 840:
  • The cover page has Oda drawing a fan request of Chopper eating honey with all the bear-themed characters (Bepo, Hiking Bear, Kumacy, and Bartholomew Kuma) a/la Winnie the Pooh.
• Chapter 841:
  • The cover page has Oda drawing a fan request of Whitebeard, with goats munching on his famous Manly Facial Hair, while he maintains a stoic expression.
  • Luffy`s solution to keeping his stamina up against Cracker's biscuit clones/armour for 11 hours straight? Eat them!
    Luffy: *burp* I'm full, damnit!
    Cracker: Nobody told you to start eating them!
    Luffy: I'm not passing up on free biscuit, dammit!
• Chapter 842:
  • The cover page has Sanji braiding the whiskers of some cat fish, like his mentor Zeff braids his beard.
  • Luffy's aforementioned solution...actually works ...more or less. But even he has his limits as it looks like he can't take any more bites...until Nami uses her Clima to spray water on the biscuit soldiers, which lets him eat 'em like pudding.
  • Carrot and Chopper's misadventures in Brulee's Magic Mirror world, made even better when an old lady accidentally sees them as they pass next to her (the old lady's) mirror.
  • Reiju manages to sorta fix up Sanji's bruised face by using a sort-of magic mascara on him. And then Sanji touches it before it heals him$
  • Luffy goes Gear Fourth, But because he's eaten so much, his new Super Mode is just as bloated as his normal self! This form is called, Tank-man, and it runs on the power of fullness!
• Chapter 843:
  • Big Mom impatiently wonders when Cracker is going to arrive, when at the moment, unbeknownst to her, he comes crashing into the wall of her chateau! Talk about Tempting Fate.
  • Luffy's body quickly goes back to normal despite spending 11 hours eating biscuits. Nami questions if he's even human, and then reacts in shock when Luffy asks for meat.
  • Nami worries about Carrot and Chopper, who are still trapped in Brulee's Mirror World. They repeatedly tell her that everything's fine....while they're in the middle of screaming as they're dodging Brulee's attacks, which doesn't convince Nami at all.
  • All of the other Vinsmoke brothers geat heart-eyes as soon as they see Nami, without losing their Badass Armfold or serious expressions! Yonji? He's trying hard to keep his serious face but fails. Niji? He's literally drooling over her arrival. Ichiji? He's just as smitten as the other two.
• Chapter 847: In the cover page where Rebecca and the Tonattas throw a birthday party for Kyros, King Riku is seen peeking in through the window like a stalker.
• Chapter 848:
  • When Charolette Anglai informs his older siblings that someone is causing a ruckus in the Treasure Room, he also adds, "And I'm not going to brush my damn teeth tonight!".
    • Not only are Anglai's attempts to be a Greaser so dang cute, his "motorcycle" — a large caterpillar with Harley-Davidson handlebars for antennae that seem too high for Anglai to reach — is adorable.
  • When Big Mom is singing excitedly about the upcoming wedding, her hat interrupts her when it gets a signal informing it about the incident going on in the Treasure Room. Big Mom stops and is noticeably shocked and angered while her homies are still singing.
  • Brook trying to tune his guitar while Big Mom's forces are trying to capture him is worth a good chuckle.
    • His reason for trying to steal the poneglyph as he explains to the soldiers he's fighting: To make sure Pedro putting himself in danger so Brook can steal it is not in vain, so he has to "save face." Of course, cue the punchline and the bombastic way he exclaims it:
    Brook: THAT'S A JOKE! I DON'T HAVE A FACE TO LOSE IN THE FIRST PLACE SEEING AS I'M A SKELETON! DO YOU GET IT?! (Screaming to a room full of unconscious bodies) DO YOU GET IT?! DO YOU GET IT?! DO. YOU. GET IIIITTT?!
• Chapter 850: While searching for their friends from the mirror world, Chopper and Carrot once again end up scaring Toto Land citizens by appearing in their mirrors, with Carrot accidentally seeing a woman bathing, and Chopper catching a man doing the same, causing them both to scream.
• Chapter 851:
  • How do Chopper and Carrot go about getting information from Brulee? Why by tickle torture!
  • When Chopper and Carrot ask the mirrors, this conversation happens:
    Mirror #1: Here!
    Mirror #2: That'd be me!
    Mirror #3: Me too!
    Mirror #4: Me!
    Mirror #5: I'm the mirror that connects to Master Gallet's closet!
    Mirror #6: I'm the hand mirror located in the 2nd floor guestroom!
    Mirror #7: I'm the mirror from the 4th floor women's bathroom!
    Chopper & Carrot: The mirrors responded!!
• Chapter 852:
  • After Jimbei breaks them out by burning the book, Nami recalls that she had escaped in a similar manner.
  • Sanji's mother provides a rather amusing scene when she tells Reiju how Sanji wished her to get better and bawls her eyes out at how kind Sanji is.
• Chapter 853:
  • Poor Brook has been turned into nothing more than a doll/pet for Big Mom after his defeat. Worst part of it all? He got stripped down to his underwear.
    • Brook, after asking so many women for a look at their panties, has a woman look at his.
  • Pedro not caring for Viscount Hiyoko turning into Count Niwatori. He isn't letting his enemy enter his final form, and this is a shonen manga. He simply states:
  Pedro: How stupid. I'll just finish him off now.
  Grunt: Stop that!
  • Chopper manages to pull Pedro into the Mirror World to escape his own dynamites' explosion, claiming that what Pedro pulled off freaked him out. Pedro then reveals that he was freaked out himself when Chopper and Carrot call him from inside a mirror some moments ago.
  • Carrot's "portraits" of everyone is worthy of a good laugh. Especially when Pedro reacts to the drawing being something very close to Shoujo type.
  Pedro: What sort of art style is that?!
  • Luffy having jumped out of Whole Cake Castle ends up crashing into a house...and upsetting the poor sucker who lived in it.
• Chapter 854:
  • Nami uses her Thundercloud Rod to take out Big Mom's guarding running towards her and Jimbei from behind...then she realizes she accidentally fried Chopper, who was unlucky enough to come out of the mirror at the wrong time. Cue Wild Take and Nami promptly apologizing.
  • So the soldiers check on Sanji, who is asleep in his room, right? Nope. The one sleeping in the room is actually the eggplant-faced attendant for Sanji! And his response to realizing he fell asleep on Sanji's bed? He goes back to sleep!
  • Much to Brook's horror, Big Mom has really taken a liking to him, and decides to hang onto him and walk him around for the time being. Her huge smile as she announces it seals it; you'd half expect her to break into baby talk!
  • As Pedro recounts the fact that his partner lost his life to Big Mom's roulette, the still-hostage Brulee takes that opportunity to gloat about how no one, be it intruders or deserters, can leave Big Mom's turf alive. The Straw Hats listen to her for all of five seconds before they get going again, cutting Brulee off mid-sentence as Diesel complains that they're starting to get too heavy for him.
• Chapter 855:
  • It opens with a requested image of Rocinante roasting sweet potatoes...and ends up on fire again. Young Law is stunned looking at him.
  • Despite how disturbing it is, one can get a good laugh at Big Mom sleeping with Brook like he was a doll. Bonus points in that Brook was actually asleep despite everything!
  • Brulee acts as if she's going to help...or not. Her trying to warn her mother ends up with her and Diesel getting gagged for their trouble.
  • While the group is relieved they didn't wake up Big Mom, the Emperor scares them witless when she and her top Homies (Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon) utterly destroy a fly and go back to sleep.
    Everyone: How in the world are we going to save him!?
  • So, after making a dummy to fool Big Mom that she still has Brook, the group goes about in trying to switch the two. Highlights of the challenges include:
    • Challenge 1: Chopper goes in, sneaks up to Big Mom, sneezes, and nearly gets flattened for his turn.
    • Challenge 2: Carrot is able to make it to Brook, but before she even gets a chance to wake him up, Big Mom's snot bubble pushes her out of the way, alerting a half-asleep Zeus who then tries to zap the "fly" before going back to sleep.
    • Challenge 3: Pedro doesn't even get a page for his challenge, as he is tossed away while Big Mom twists and turns in her sleep!
  • Carrot's rescue attempt was almost foiled when Zeus briefly awoke and noticed her. How did she escape detection? By curling up in a fetal position and pretending to be a stuffed animal. It get better in the anime with Nami's reaction when Carrot's trick worked.
  • So after Big Mom finally lets go of Brook, Nami finally reaches Brook and is rescuing him when Brook screams in shock at seeing another skeleton with an afro.
  • As Pedro apologizes to Brook for forcing him to go and try his luck in getting the Poneglyph rubbings, Brook opens his head (causing Carrot and Jimbei to freak out, who have never bore witness to this feature of his) he hands Nami the rubbings and is trying to console Pedro that the plan was the best they could do at the time while everyone is having wild takes over the fact that Brook managed to do his job.
  Everyone: You actually got them!?
  Brook: Ah. Yeah.
  • Everyone is glad Brook managed his job...until he asks if he can see Nami's underwear again for a job well done, with a really huge shit-eating grin. Cue the usual slap to the face.
• Chapter 856:
  • In one of Sanji's flashbacks with the crew, an angry Sanji comes out of the kitchen asking who picked at the ingredients, causing Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper to try and hide their stuffed cheeks, while Franky laughs in the background.
• Chapter 857:
  • Brook, Carrot, and Chopper are working in perfect unison whether they are getting praised or crying their eyes out.
  • When Nami makes it clear that she will never forgive Sanji, her speech bubble stabs him through the heart.
    Nami: Ah...And Sanji. Regarding the matter of you throwing me down to the depths of fear itself...I'll never forgive you.
  • Of course, Nami decides to let things be for the plan and Sanji rebounds rather quickly.
    Sanji: Eeehhh!? Could you be...proposing to me, Nami!?
    • Luffy's reaction to seeing Sanji freaking out over Nami's supposed "proposal"? Is reassurance over Sanji acting like normal.
      Luffy: [looks at Sanji] I don't know why but I feel better.
  • When Jimbei needs to talk to Luffy through the mirror shard, instead of taking the shard from Chopper he just picks up Chopper and uses him like a phone.
  • Jimbei constantly including Brulee and Diesel in their group despite their protest:
    Jimbei: As for we, who are standing against them there are merely ten of us!
    Brulee: Hey! Don't you include us in this mess! Don't go fudging the numbers! There's merely eight of you! Not ten! And you can all go and get yourselves murdered as far as I'm concerned!
  • During the flashback where Capone shoots Pekoms off the cliff to fall into the water full of sharks, one of the sharks is seen holding a fork and knife.
• Chapter 858:
  • So after taking a bath, Luffy and Brook find a fridge and find milk inside. While one of the grunts is telling them off for going through someone else's fridge, the two decide to drink some milk to restore the damage they took (with Brook having his skeleton messed up and Luffy having lost a tooth). The best part? The milk restores them back to normal! This is also especially funny if you frequent One Piece forums or Youtube channels and saw all the people coming up with theories for weeks about Luffy's tooth, like maybe he'd get a gold tooth orrrrr Chopper would make him a fake tooth...but nope!
    Luffy & Brook: Oooooh. All better! (Luffy grows a new tooth and Brook's skull is all fixed)
    Grunt: The hell is up with your bodies!?
  • So, right at the meeting with Bege, Luffy spots a man that looks like Caesar Clown and calls him out for looking like the scientist. While the others agree (sans Chopper) that it is him, Caesar (or rather, Gastino as he's calling himself) states he is Bege's brother instead, not even hiding his laugh. And he's still wearing his old gloves that bear his real initials. While Sanji and Chopper are shocked that Caesar isn't hiding his identity, Luffy falls for the disguise for a moment before Nami has to point he was right!
    • It's such a Paper-Thin Disguise that even his Boss Subtitles still say "Caesar Clown".
  • The negotiations between the Straw Hats and the Firetank Pirates are unsurprisingly a trainwreck. Sanji and Jimbei are the only ones who say anything sensible; the majority of it is Luffy, Bege and Ceasar volleying threats, insults and almost attacks at each other. Their mutual dislike of Big Mom is the only reason they reach an agreement at all.
  • Also, a minor one, but Brulee and Deisel are also in new clothes. While tied up.
  • Brook's gangster hat is so plus-size it fits over his entire afro!
  • Luffy agrees to work with Bege...but on one condition, it being that he must punch him one time, since he shot Pekoms. The best part it, in between the chaos that ensues from Luffy saying that, Bege is actually fine with it.
    • Jimbei asks Luffy, Ceasar and Bege if they like Big Mom, and they all respond that they hate her at the same time.
    Jimbei: And that's what we call an allied army! You can kill each other later.
• Chapter 859:
  • It seems Caesar can't get anyone to call him Gastino so he can avoid any detection from Big Mom. It gets worse when Chiffon misnames as "Gas-Tiny", which Luffy approves of and Nami sighs as she doesn't care what they call Gas-Tiny.
    Chiffon: How dare you even worry about that, Gas-Tiny! Bege keeps his promises!
    Caesar: Gas-Tiny!? It's Gastino!
  • If what above isn't bad enough, when he goes on a rant about the amazing weapons he's using to off Big Mom, everyone ignores him while he makes a rather..."happy" face.
  • For all his bad reputation and notable personality, Capone cannot help but make a silly face for his son, Pez, when he accidently shouts and makes him cry.
  • Capone wants Luffy to be a decoy, which Nami and Chiffon disapprove (the latter because she cares about her sister's friends). What is Luffy's response to being a decoy?
    Luffy: (smiles and laughs) It's cool! I'll do it! Besides, I just thought up a super cool way to make my entrance!
    • This leads to Nami and Chiffon thinking that they were worried for nothing.
    • Best part? Chopper wants to know how Luffy is going to do it but Luffy is not spoiling the surprise.
  • After it was pointed out that Caesar didn't bother to hide his old laugh, Caesar starts laughing like his old self again in force of habit, but then catches himself and course-corrects to a new idiosyncratic laugh to fit his "Gastino" persona.
  • Caesar getting dissed by Capone by being called an "idiot" instead of a "genius" is rather amusing.
  • Brulee is still being counted as part of the group against her wishes.
  • While getting ready, Ichiji is shown to have a cup Homie who looks rather silly.
  • Big Mom bawls her eyes out as her "Brook" isn't moving or talking anymore. Her mood changes when Zeus and Prometheus remind her that it is the tea party and she yells out for wedding cake. And tosses "Brook" away like a toy.
• Chapter 861 has Sanji trying to act normal and control himself for the wedding as he knows about Pudding's plan to kill him. Unfortunately, one look at Pudding's face is enough to send him to "nose-bleeding ugly face land".
  • Pudding's frustration as she can barely keep her Bitch in Sheep's Clothing facade is hilarious, in a way.
  • Bege tries to tell the Straw Hats to get ready, only to find they're all sleeping. Much like Law, Bege is learning about all the Straw Hat's eccentric behaviors.
• Chapter 862:
  • Jimbei slapping and shaking Luffy to wake up after everyone's favorite Straw Hat has fallen asleep is rather amusing. Especially since Nami figures that Luffy will only wake up for food. Chopper then asks a grunt to get them some meat which confuses the guy as to why anyone would ask for breakfast at a time like they are in.
  • Sanji is still trying very hard not to fall for Pudding's cute facade, but he cannot help himself as he and Pudding get ready to exchange vows. He's desperately trying to keep himself focused...but his inner face says something else altogether.
  • Luffy's "big surprise" is both awesome and hilarious at the same time. The hilarious part comes from the huge wedding cake splitting up...and revealing a literal army of Luffys (via Brulees's powers), ready to crash the wedding. And some of them are eating pieces of the cake as they jump out of it.
• Chapter 863:
  • The preparations of Luffy's epic surprise for Big Mom as he forces Brulee to transform several animals into copies of him.
  • As Nami goes through the mirror, she calls Caesar a loser, and Carrot asks if Caesar is really that bad, to which Chopper replies that he's the worst, and Caesar's crying face in reaction to Nami and Chopper's insults is rather amusing.
  • Capone's epic Jaw Drop as Luffy reveals himself to Big Mom despite having made so many clones to fool her in the first place. Let this sink in: Luffy did something so stupid it caused Capone Bege to Jaw Drop.
    Capone:...I mean, no one'd even dare coming out head-on like this anyway!
    Luffy: It's me!
    Capone: O{}O
  • Becomes even more hilarious when it's revealed that Luffy was actually being smart, drawing everyone's attention to himself and diverting it from the clones and from a disguised Brook in particular.
  • Carrot and Chopper eating cake as they await with Nami for when Big Mom loses it is comical.
  • Katakuri's Devil Fruit ability is perhaps one of the most comical to date. A special Paramecia, his Devil Fruit is known as the Mochi-Mochi Fruit. To elaborate, all he can do is turn himself into rice cake.
  • While Jimbei is letting Big Mom know he is leaving, one of the Luffy clones is stealing the crown from some random character, specifically Giberson.
  • Brook's Luffy disguise is him wearing a similar suit and a bag that has Luffy's face painted on it. If you look very closely, you can even see him jumping out of the cake among the many Luffy clones (his slightly different outfit and skinnier figure gives him away).
  • Big Mom trying to use her Soul-Soul Devil Fruit on Jimbei for confirming to her face that he wants to join the Straw Hats, but fails because Jimbei is not afraid of her which is actually the only way to prevent your life from being stolen. Cue the hilariously awkward silence.
  • Jimbei uses black tea instead of sea water to perform his Sea Current Lifter attack and even goes as far as to re-dub it Black Tea Current Lifter.
  • Luffy's intricate plan to destroy Mother Carmel's photo was the main focal point of ruining the wedding. Luffy disguised a bunch of animals to look like him, jumped out of a wedding cake, and had to struggle against Katakuri in his attempts to kick the table. Luffy was risking life and limb to do this one task...and Brook just casually walks up and smashes it with a hammer.
• Chapter 864:
  • Brook reveals his "face" and creeps everyone out after successfully destroying the picture of Mother Caramel. Everyone thinks he ripped his skin off. Poor Brook nearly collapses in woe at this remark.
    Drug Peclo: He ripped his skin off his own face!
    Brook: Come on! This is my face!
    Wedding guests: HE'S SO FREAKY!
    Brook: What?! No...!
    • Big Mom's reaction is worth a chuckle, especially with the delivery and the awkward pause afterwards.
    Big Mom: Soul King? ...But you died!
    Brook: Yes, I died a long time ago.
  • The Luffy clones are still going at it as the chaos ensues.
  • Brook is "beheaded", causing Luffy to freak before Brook reveals he's fine to him.
• Chapter 865:
  • The cover story is of Cavendish reminiscing on his childhood, being the resident Pretty Boy who all the girls wanted. And somehow, his steed Farul is sitting upright on a stool and holding a cup of tea in his hoof.
• Chapter 866:
  • Cover page: Cavendish is so popular as a young prince that none of the young women of the kingdom got married yet. One's even swooned over him so bad she's fainted and foaming at the mouth, like the love bug that bit her had rabies!!
  • Charlotte Linlin at the age of 5 is Creepy Cute incarnate- like a cross between steroid-jacked Hody Jones and middle-aged Giolla. And her human birth parents are not even a fifth of her size. Compare her to Shirahoshi, another big child from a little mother. At least she has Fishman heredity and/or a huge father to blame on having a Clifford-like growth spurt after birth. Linlin is just a really Big Eater, apparently.
  • There's something darkly funny in observing young Charlotte Linlin try to understand the worlds of animals and various races with her five-year-old logic and it going horribly wrong every time. It's like watching a girl playing with her dolls too hard.
  • Five-year-old Charlotte Linlin tries to give a bear a "spanking" for acting naughty. That alone speaks for itself, but also, said bear was killed with a single hit. Keep in mind that this is AFTER she tried to make said bear and a wolf be friends, with the former eating the latter. Obviously, it didn't work out.
  • The little boy from the Long Arm Tribe running away from Charlotte Linlin looks kinda funny (in both the strange and humorous senses of the word) due to his expression and the way his arms flail about.
• Chapter 868:
  • Cover story — Cavendish is so popular he has obsessive fangirls with their own fangirly ships sailing the seas after him. Bartolomeo isn't the only idolator around. "...So, as I've been saying, those are not enemy ships, and therefore there is no need to fire on them, Suleiman." "That explanation was way too long."
  • In an arc with a wedding plot, Bege almost went par the course with The Godfather checklist, and is about to seal the deal as his crew launches their coup de grace. When Big Mom destroys all of Caesar's rockets mid-flight...it changes into the Godfather of all Oh, Crap!. He and company realize an avalanche of trouble is headed their way, and it's written all over their faces. All that bravado turns into a spineless mass of quivering jelly and the Firetank Pirates run away screaming like little bitches.
  Bege: PLAN FAILED!
  (Said as they RUN LIKE HELL! Funnier still — Vito's tongue is trailing out from behind him).
  • When Brulee's escape mirror shatters and Katakuri gives his family the means to plug their ears, Caesar and the Straw Hats are bawling with fear, and the Firetank Pirates look about two seconds away from completely shitting themselves silly. While everyone else is scared, Jimbei was hardly afraid and he has an "I had a feeling this might happen" reaction. Meanwhile, unwitting captive Brulee just has this pitiful look like, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!".
  • Realizing the Big Mom Pirates have effectively plugged their ears with the Japanese equivalent of hardened maple syrup. Ewww...as if waxy buildup wasn't already hard enough to swab clean.
  • Charlotte Smoothie, who is only slightly weaker than Katakuri, is chasing the Straw Hats, almost sinks their ship and kills even her own men to grow even bigger to do so. Brook, of course, asks for her panties, only to be slapped by Nami. Stay classy, Brook.
• Chapter 869:
  • The Tamatebeko box is seen again and Du Feld actually tries to steal the contents inside. Just when we're about to see the inside of the chest after Du Feld unties the rope around the chest and is about to open it, Big Mom screams again which causes the Tamatebeko to be blown off the Whole Cake Chateau.
  • Brook casually drinking tea while commenting how strong the Yonkos and Bege scolding him for acting so calm while they're currently stuck in a hopeless situation.
• Chapter 871: As Caesar flies Bege off Whole Cake Chateau, Nami keeps cheering him on while pointing out he's still an asshole for what he did on Punk Hazard.
• Chapter 872:
  • Without the Tamatebako box, Luffy and co. would have died. The Tamatebako was among the riches sent to Big Mom because Caribou emptied the Ryugu Palace treasury, and the reason he was in Fish-Man Island is because he wanted to kill the Straw Hats. In other words, the Straw Hats survived because Caribou wanted to kill them.
  • As the Whole Cake Chateau collapses, all the guests are justifiably freaked out as they fall to the ground. Big News Morgans, is busy snapping photos as he falls instead. The reader naturally assumes that he's not worried because being an anthropomorphic bird, he could probably fly himself to safety. When Stussy questions him on this (who can use the Geppo technique to air-walk), he has an Oh, Crap! moment as he remembers that he actually can't fly, and is just as screwed as everybody else.
  • The Straw Hats thank Bege for protecting them and helping them escape. Bege despises the gratitude.
  Bege: Quit it with the thanks. Makes me feel like I did something good. Gross.
  • Caesar gripes that he should also get some credit to their rescue, but Nami is still rightfully riding his ass over Punk Hazard and tells him to "go die or something". Then Bege magnanimously gives him back his heart and he leaps for it, while Nami tells Bege he should have just crushed it. Caesar couldn't be any happier...and ready to howl his grievances at the people who made his life hell right before leaving their company.
  • After bidding the Straw Hats farewell, Bege puts up a sign for the Big Mom Pirates that says "The Straw Hats Went That Way" before leaving the area in his Castle Tank form. Sanji yells at him for pulling this gag, but Bege insists it's for his crew's survival.
    • On the same panel, Chopper is seen admiring Bege in his Castle Tank form.
• Chapter 873:
  • Just like with Zoro in the Alabasta arc, Nami rides on Jimbei instead of running, even though she's more than capable of running herself; justifying herself by claiming she's "cute and weak". While Jimbei himself doesn't mind, Luffy is quite annoyed that she's egging them on to run, Sanji is perfectly fine with it because she's so cute, and Carrot just laughs.
  • The group finds that King Baum is still alive, having been sewn back together. Nami sheds a few tears of relief while Luffy and Baum stare at each other in disbelief, and next thing you know, the entire group hijacks a ride on Baum's back, to the latter's annoyance as his seams still hurt and he's technically still an enemy. Nami even threatens him to rip his fluffy eyes out if he doesn't hurry, to Pedro's discomfort.
    • Another translation has her threatening to rip out all of Baum's stitches. Nami's just as cold-hearted no matter what threat she makes.
  • There is a female tree with breasts and a dress who was Baum's seamstress that stitched him back together and fawning over him. Oda is having a little too much fun with the wacky character designs this arc.
• Chapter 874:
  • Zeus the Thunder Cloud, the feared Homie created from Big Mom's own soul threw her off to chased after some delicious black cloud that Nami made with her power. It later accepted to be Nami's servant if she continued to feed it. Even Big Mom's own soul is not loyal to her! Which make sense, when your consider that Big Mom is a food obsessed WomanChild. No wonder her soul would act the same way.
  • This is followed with Sanji agreeing to be Nami's servant while Jimbei points out that she wasn't asking him to be her servant.
• Chapter 876:
  • So after the whole attack from Zeus, how does Big Mom get out of the hole? She's not climbing or jumping out of the crater she is in. She is WALKING out of the hole like it was nothing!
  • When Pudding meets up with the Straw Hat group, just a simple greeting from Sanji sends her foaming at the mouth with hearts for eyes. Read it again, it's not Sanji with his usual perverted tendencies, it's Pudding.
  • Pudding's entire tsundere act as she tries to explains what the plan is to the group ends with the best line in the entire thing:
  Straw Hat Group: Her emotions are flip-flopping like crazy!
  • After dealing with the Homies, Pudding realizes that Sanji has boarded Rabian the magic carpet and gives a rather amusing face-fault.
  • As Prometheus berates Zeus for what he did, Zeus tries to argue he couldn't help himself, and can't stop drooling or thinking of the Weather Egg and Black Balls from Nami's Clima-Tact.
• Chapter 879:
  • Cover story: Uhorica has inevitably pummeled Sai into the ground for breaking off the engagement. Her father also berated Chinjao for it.
  • Pudding continues being Adorkable as she hides under her carpet, with her head adorably peeking out of it, to avoid being mistaken for Sanji's wife since she's wearing a wedding dress. Sanji tells her to be careful not to fall, which causes another tsundere moment from Pudding.
  • Pound notices Chiffon, Pudding and Sanji flying on the magic carpet and tries to call out to his daughter, but none of them notice him.
• Chapter 880:
  • Cover story: Remember how Uhorica was upset about losing the proposal of one guy? We now learn Uhorica is hoarding husbands. Just like Big Mom.
  • Pudding changes from her wedding dress to a cook outfit, which naturally makes Sanji gush over how cute she is. Cue Pudding having fainted, with Luminescent Blush, heart eyes, nosebleed, and a bag of ice to cool her head off.
  • Out of necessity, Pudding has to alter the other Whole Cake Island chefs' memories to make them think she and Sanji are married. When one cook points out this cake-making will be Sanji and Pudding's first task as a married couple, the former has a light blush and embarrassed grin, while the latter blushes so hard she catches fire as she faints again. The cook calling her Mrs. Pudding causes her to shake and cough up blood from the embarrassment, with Chiffon urging him to stop before he kills her at this rate. When Pudding recovers, she promptly goes tsundere again while Flipping the Bird.
  • During the part where Pudding explains her memory alteration of the chefs, Sanji is drawn in a very humorous way that people have called "Bob's Burgers Sanji".
• Chapter 881:
  • Cover story: Sai and Baby 5 are now married...but Sai has a huge stack of swollen lumps on his head from earlier.
  • In the middle of their fight, Katakuri causes Luffy to accidentally swallow the mirror shards he was using to talk to his crew. When Luffy finally spits them back out, he makes an absolutely hilarious satisfied grin.
• Anime only: When Luffy was knocked out in the first round, he took the infamous Yamcha Death Pose.
• Chapter 883:
  • Luffy once again solves a problem by eating it: Katakuri traps him under massive amounts of mochi, and Luffy escapes by eating it, and when he escapes, he complains that he hates eating mochi.
    • For extra hilarity, Luffy also complains about the Big Mom Pirates using food, and that he's continuously being forced to eat. Yes, Luffy actually got tired of eating.
  • Right after Luffy gets out of the mochi trap, Luffy immediately heard Katakuri's presence inside the mochi shrine, and sniffed out the donuts within. The patissiers attributed it to Observation Haki, though the latter (if not both) were false. And then Luffy proceeds to run a round to burn off the mochi he ate through — in a matter of seconds.
  • When Luffy interrupts Katakuri's snack, readers are treated to the sight of the stoic badass Commander Katakuri cheerfully chowing down on donuts while talking about how incredibly tasty they are. Cue a massive, stoic, Oh, Crap! moment from the man when he realizes that his sanctuary no longer has a roof or any walls left to obscure him from the spectators.
    • Even better, he's laying on his back while he's chowing down, contradicting Brulee's claim in the previous chapter that he has never allowed his back to touch the ground.
    • Not to mention the fact we finally get to see the bottom part of his face. Which turns out to be ridiculously large jaws with sharp teeth. Well, with the help of his Mochi-Mochi Fruit powers, that is — he reduces it to normal size very quickly, but with the teeth still as they were. Makes you wonder what kind of creature his father is.
    • In the anime (Episode 856), he actually sang about how good donuts are. Sugita-san pretty much channeled Gintoki right there.
• Chapter 884:
  • Katakuri seemingly about to attack Luffy with donuts, which Luffy calls him out on — only to mold them into giant fists.
  • Pudding swooning once again after Sanji says something that is barely complimentary, and she ends up steaming, enough that chefs start to worry someone cooked Pudding!
  • The mystery of the missing Scout Sea Slugs is solved: all of them are playing hooky from their jobs because Charlotte Praline has hypnotized them into singing and dancing with her voice! It's also incredibly adorable to look at.
• Chapter 885:
  • Just after Gear Fourth runs out, Luffy finds Katakuri bearing down on him. He then turns to see Brulee sitting a few feet away from him. One devious grin later, and Brulee ends up a hostage again!
  • Luffy uses Brulee to jump out of the Mirror World to give himself the time he needs to regain his Haki so he can resume his fight with Katakuri. Unfortunately, the mirror Luffy jumped through lead to, of all places, Nuts Island where a food-crazed Big Mom is rampaging! Talk about Out of the Frying Pan and into the fire!
  • What, no mention of the cook who basically had a foodgasm and fell over from tasting some of Sanji's cooking? After which Sanji announced that his game plan was to defeat Big Mom by having her eat a wedding cake that's to die for. In this case, perhaps literally.
• Chapter 886:
  • The wedding cake being transfer to the port on a carriage that's being pulled by a top hat-wearing seal on a ball.
  • Pudding's reaction to Sanji saving Chiffon in the blink of an eye. A big smile, huge heart eyes, and a nosebleed!
• Chapter 887:
  • When Sanji lifts the entire cart, cake and all, onto Bege's ship with one leg, Pudding collapses with a near fountain of blood coming out of her nose.
  • Oven attempting to do a You Shall Not Pass! on Bege's ship, only for him to be run over.
  • Sanji's reaction to Oven boiling the ocean is to remark the fish would probably be delicious. Bege snaps at him that they're going to boil as well.
• Chapter 888:
  • The cannonballs that the Big Mom pirates use. The hilarity of these cannonballs include with one having a moustache, all of them competing to see who hits the Straw Hats first right before Nami tricks them into veering off. Extra points if you remember a certain scene from Roger Rabbit which is remarkably similar to this.
  • Also, the cannonball with a mustache cries, "Here we go!"
  • Chopper's reaction to seeing powered-up Carrot fight◊.
• Chapter 889:
  • Now charged with ferrying the new wedding cake, Bege (naturally) wants to poison it, with Sanji arguing with him about his pride as a cook. Sanji ends the argument by dabbing some of the cake frosting into Bege's mouth mid-sentence, leaving him nearly as entranced as the cook from earlier and unable to make any counterpoints. He attributes it to being brainwashed.
  • Two of the cooks apparently passed out from the sweet aroma of the cake in the process of frosting it.
  • Yet again, Pudding can't contain herself and she pulls another Sanji moment after Sanji acts cool in front of Bege.
  • Big Mom commands Napoleon to transform into his sword form and summons Prometheus and Zeus at her side. Now, there is a panel in a manga of the 4 of them together. Big Mom is starving, so she looks a bit more menacing than usual. Prometheus is now a blazing inferno with a demonic expression engulfing Big Mom's hair. Napoleon laughs wildly as his face is now on the blade section of his body. As for Zeus? He still has the same old goofy, happy expression.
• Chapter 890:
  • When Jimbei tells Big Mom they don't have the cake, she rationalizes that if that's true, she'll have to kill Perospero. Cue him freaking out.
  • So in order to stop Big Mom from bisecting the Thousand Sunny, Brook not only takes a bolt of lightning from Zeus (with Nami right behind him as she avoids getting shocked herself with a happy expression on her face), but then cuts Zeus in half. What makes it funny is what happened between these two events that sets up his attack, as he weaponizes the meme he's most known for:
  Brook: Then, will you at least let me see your panties!?
  *everyone is bewildered at the question in such a situation, immediately followed by Brook on the other side of Zeus*
  • What makes this even funnier is that it's too similar to the climax of Naruto (specifically, the fight with Kaguya) to be coincidence. It's rather clearly a Shout-Out, even if the exact techniques used are different. Even better, the same actress does Big Mom and Kaguya's voices.
  • And (Anime-only) he does it to Smoothie too, as a negotiation tactic.
  • Nami telling a de-powered Zeus that he has a choice to be her slave, or die. The face she makes is hilarious.
    • In an ironic twist, Brook was subject to capture and humiliation by Big Mom and her homies. Brook has now reversed the situation on one of those homies.
    • Zeus' inexplicable baseball hat.
• Chapter 894:
  • So we get to see a flashback on how Luffy obtained his Observation Haki with Rayleigh, and during said training, Luffy is not only sporting several lumps on his head but smells Rayleigh's lunch. While training, Luffy ends up attacking Rayleigh's lunch, ruining it and we get this gem after Rayleigh hits Luffy for ruining his lunch:
  Luffy: Rayleigh!!! That hurt! Somehow...I sense anger!
  Rayleigh: That's also Haki. Here try to dodge this! *Hits Luffy again off-screen*
  • So as Bege is leading Big Mom away from the Straw Hats, Chiffon decides they need to go further to Puffs Island in order to give the Straw Hats more time to escape. The Fire-Tank Pirates argue but Chiffon pulls off this number:
  Chiffon: Let's keep going until we reach Puffs Island!
  Bege: Okay. Wait, a second Chiffon!! Were you even listening!?
  • As the Straw Hats are getting chased by Smoothie's fleet, Carrot wakes up from her Su-Long form and is wondering if Luffy and Sanji are okay. Chopper, meantime, decides to ask if Cat Viper and Duke Dogstorm can do what she did.
  • Pudding might as well be the new Sanji with her interactions with said chef. She's not only able to not look at Sanji in the eye, but she's huffing and puffing in a similar manner than he is that it has the jelly Homie, Nitro ask this:
  Nitro: Who exactly are you imitating...?
  • We get to meet more of the Charlotte family, and specifically we get to meet Charlotte Brownie, who after asking the number of men the Straw Hats have for the upcoming battle, goes to sleep when he learns that the enemy only numbers less than 10.
• Chapter 896:
  • The Straw Hats on the ship are getting gradually more worried that Luffy won't be able to get out of the Mirror World, nevermind by the planned time, because Luffy tends to get so focused on fighting that he forgets everything else.
  • Caesar isn't the only one with a Paper-Thin Disguise this arc: Pekoms— er, Nazoms, appears to solve the above problem by carrying a very livid Brulee over his shoulder. The disguise is so paper-thin, even Luffy sees through it.
  • Pudding's excellent Inelegant Blubbering face.
• Chapter 897:
  • The Dramatic Irony present when the Big Mom pirates wait to ambush Luffy outside the mirror, thinking he must have somehow outsmarted Katakuri rather than beating him fair and square, completely unable to even consider the latter possibility. The Mass "Oh, Crap!" that will ensue when they learn the truth is expected to be glorious.
    • What makes it even more hilarious is that Luffy actually did manage to outwit Katakuri and escape the Mirror World with Brulee at one point. He then went back in and beat Katakuri anyway.
• Chapter 898:
  • The aforementioned realization expected from Chapter 897 finally hits, with Bruleé revealing, Tears of Fear streaming down her face, that Katakuri got beaten. The faces of horror, complete with a couple of obligatory Enel imitations, were as priceless as expected; even better, they're all contrasted with Luffy himself, who is fast asleep without a care in the world.
• Chapter 899:
  • After covering for the Straw Hats' escape, Judge goes on a berating rant on Sanji's weakness and asks Luffy why he would invade Emperor territory just to save a failure and weakling who displays no royal attitude at all and only cooks like some commoner... and Luffy's response to all that?
    Luffy: Well, see ya! Thanks for all the help!
    (Judge becomes offended by Luffy brushing off his question)
    Judge: I asked you a question, Straw Hat! ANSWER ME!
  • Luffy then makes an aside comment wondering why Judge would list all the good things about Sanji like that when he hates him, leaving Sanji fuming and Jimbei laughing.
    Sanji: What do you mean?! You thought he was complimenting me?!
• Chapter 901:
  • What is the most unexpected way you can escape from certain doom on the high seas? A giant Fishman eats you. Wadatsumi shoves the entire Thousand Sunny (minus an unlucky flagpole) into his mouth. The Straw Hats don't even get a chance to react before gurgling for breath underwater and hanging on for dear life.
• Both Luffy and Sanji get kissed by a girl for the first time in this arc, and neither end up remembering it.

Reverie Arc

• Chapter 903:
  • Sanji discovers that his brother Niji slipped him his own Raid Suit. Sanji considers it an insult and refuses to wear it, despite Luffy and Chopper's pleas for him to try it on so they can see how cool he looks.
  • It's discovered that Zeus has submitted to becoming Nami's slave and now lives in the Clima-Tact. Sanji tells the cloud that he was Nami's slave first. Brook is shocked that Sanji is having a rivalry with water vapor.
  • Good news and of course, bad news for Sanji. The good news is that his bounty has increased to 330 million, which is higher than Zoro's.
  Sanji: YES!!! TAKE THAT YOU SHITTY MOSS-HEAD!!!!
  • The bad news is that he's referred to as "Vinsmoke" Sanji in the bounty poster, mainly due to his past ties with Germa 66, right after he barred his crewmates from mentioning them, continuing the Running Gag where there's always something odd in his wanted posters to Sanji's chagrin.
  Sanji: I see...my bounty has raised because of Germa's bad name...
  • A bit of humor and awesomeness mixed together. When Luffy looks at his bounty poster, it seems like it had decreased to 150 million. Turns out that he had read it wrong. He's now worth 1.5 BILLION. The crew freaks out so much that their hair stands up and their eyes pop out, including Brook. Yes, Brook grew eyes back specifically for a gag.
  • Morgans' article detailing the Straw Hats actions in Whole Cake Island gives Luffy full credit for the assassination attempt on Big Mom. Bege doesn't look pleased about it.
    • Also, the article mentioned that Luffy used his "intelligence" to "carefully plan out" the operation.
  • Rebecca, upon meeting Coby, nails that he's a huge fanboy of Luffy within seconds of meeting him, to his embarrassment.
• Chapter 904:
  • Apparently, while Dragon, Ivankov, and Koala have been sitting patiently for the other Commanders to arrive, Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, has been laying on the ground for seemingly hours, grinning at the news about Luffy for so long, his face has grown stiff. Koala, who's more used to his behavior, just seems resigned to it while Ivankov cannot believe it.
    Ivankov: "Is he an idiooot?!"
    • The same scene has very amusing Funny Background Event that shows that Koala is Not So Above It All herself. At the table, Koala, who is only 5'3, can be seen sitting on top of two cushions on her chair in order to be close to eye-level with Dragon and Ivankov. Yes, a 23-year-old woman, who is the Fish-Man Karate Assistant instructor for the Revolutionary Army apparently would rather sit in a booster-seat than not be included with the other Revolutionary leaders. (Inazuma is sitting on top of one cushion.)
  • Revolutionary Army commander Karasu spends most of the chapter silent. Then he mumbles, and when people point that out he seems to get angry. Then the end of the chapter reveals he forgot to turn on the loudspeaker in his Plague Doctor mask.
  • Belo Betty helps power up ordinary citizens by INSULTING them. This brings to mind the famous scene from Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn.
• Chapter 905:
  • How did Fujitora get into Mariejois despite Sakazuki's objections and order that Fujitora be turned away from any and all Marine bases? He simply stated "This isn't a Marine Base". Sakazuki looked ready to literally erupt. Making this moment even better is Sengoku popping by just to troll Sakazuki.
  • Morgans has gone to cover the arrival of the Reverie participants, and goes utterly gaga over Shirahoshi.
  • Shirahoshi asks Garp (whom she calls Luffy-sama's Grandfather) if something is the "legendary forest" she heard so much about. Garp flatly remarks that it's just a single tree.
  • Garp is incredibly casual around Stelly, calling him a "little brat" as soon as he sees him, and later telling him to back off when Stelly tries to suck up to him anyway.
    • Stelly continues making a fool of himself on pretty much every panel he appears — He falls over in shock at the slightest opportunity, he faints from fear after King Neptune grabs his shoulder (because Stelly fell over), and is scared at even small things like the Bondola going up the Red Line, or some crows.
  • In his very first appearance, Ryokugyu casually discusses how much destruction would result in Mariejois if he had to fight Fujitora. Y'know, only the most sacred place to the World Government, his very employ??
    • Ryokugyu has also been on an extended fast. Apparently, the one thing that can make him stop is if a bunch of hot women spoon-feeds him a meal. And why is he fasting in the first place? No protest against anything, no ideological reason, the man is just that goddamn lazy.
  • At the very formal meeting table in the Kamabakka Kingdom, we've seen several prominent figures acting with grace...Belo Betty, on the other hand, has her legs crossed and feet casually propped up on the table, once again exuding no damn given from every pore.
• Chapter 906:
  • Some snooty nobles waste no time trying to woo Shirahoshi. Her response is to shyly yet bluntly state that they're not her type, again, to her brothers' shock. Her embarrassed face and Wingding Eyes as Ryuboshi explains what she's supposed to do are adorable.
  • Shirahoshi also pops into Vivi and Rebecca's conversation about Luffy, saying his name aloud; once again, to Ryuboshi's shock. Vivi is also shocked when Rebecca mentions Luffy just as casually, fearing they'd misheard Shirahoshi, but when the latter confirms she is indeed Luffy's friend, the other princesses instantly give a thumbs-up.
  • A minor detail, but the refresher about Dalton's story shows Usopp with his extremely swelled up face from when Vivi slapped the crap out of him the Drum Island arc.
• Chapter 907: On the cover story, Orlumbus is bidding a tearful farewell to the kingdom he served, while the King and his soldiers are firing cannons at him for stealing the fleet he commanded.
  • When CP-0 shows up to stop Leo and Sai from attacking Charloss, Lucci picks up Leo and spikes him like a football. Even as serious as the moment is, it's almost comical.

Wano Country Arc

• Chapter 909:
  • While Cat Viper goes to talk with Marco, the Guardians are waiting at the coast. Roddy believes they got told to wait because their faces might be too scary and Blackback points out that Cat Viper's face is scarier than theirs.
  • While some townsfolk ask for doctor Marco to help ease their ailments and injuries, a little kid comes up and says that their younger brother has been playing pranks on them.
  • Someone has a sphinx for a pet and a steed. Y'know, the giant monster they kept as a guard in Impel Down!?!
  • We finally reach the fabled land Wano and the Straw Hats are trying to blend in. How? Franky is applying his craft as a carpenter, Robin is training to be a Geisha & doing quite well at it; Usopp is working his mouth as a Toad Oil Salesman, and Zoro is about to get executed for the theft of Shusui and being a serial killer. Wait, what?!
  • Wano itself is The Theme Park Version of Feudal Japan turned up to eleven.
• Chapter 910:
  • Sanji tries to look at the newspaper's image of Vivi complete with his love-struck expression, preventing Nami from being able to read the paper, earning Sanji a big bump to the head.
  • When Sanji sees that there are multiple princesses that know him, he wonders if they're talking about him^note  They're actually talking about Luffy, not Sanji. and Nami says good for him.
  • When Chopper sees Kureha in the newspaper, he cries Tears of Joy. Then Sanji expresses surprise at the fact that she's still alive, earning him a kick to the face from Chopper.
  • After seeing Dr. Kureha's face, he decides to cut it out of the paper, and Sanji tells him not to do that...only to do the same thing as Chopper with the pictures of the princesses.
    • This leaves the page filled with holes and Nami can hardly read the other side, and when she asks them to give the pieces back, they refuse with a goofy tone. (Doubles as Harsher in Hindsight, as the part Nami was trying to read was about Big Mom and Kaido arguing over who would get the Straw Hats' heads. This might have been good for the crew to know...)
  • While Nami and Brook are talking about the rough weather surrounding Wano, a huge octopus is seen behind them, with them none the wiser. Then when it starts making Kabuki Sounds and gets the Straw Hats' attention, they finally realize an octopus had climbed onto the deck.
  • And then, a school of giant koi pass by the ship and Sanji takes the moment to question how the koi (freshwater fish) can survive in saltwater, which Nami shouts that's not important at the time. Then, Luffy asks if koi taste good and when Sanji states the ways to cook koi, he leaps on one to catch it, much to Nami's annoyance.
  • As the crew goes through a giant, rapid river, Carrot is shown excited from the thrills they're going through, complete with sparkles around her, in contrast to Chopper, who's bawling his eyes out from fear.
    • And again when Luffy returns and grabs hold of two koi to take them up a waterfall, Carrot can hardly contain her excitement as her eyes turn into sparkles while a fearful Chopper clings onto her. And the octopus continues to do kabuki acts.
  • After somehow getting past the whirlpool, Luffy and the Sunny are revealed to have landed on a beach. Luffy is shown to have fallen asleep, only to be woken up when a passing crab pinches his nose.
  • Luffy witnesses two giant beasts clashing and sees one of them is wielding a huge katana, and nonchalantly remarks, "I guess I'm in Wano." His time on Rusukaina stuck with him a little too well...
• Chapter 911: Right at the start of the chapter, Luffy recalls exactly how he ended up in that shore, and the flashback includes Sanji telling Chopper that he (Sanji) can only carry Nami and Carrot to safety, Luffy being used as a trampoline before he tells the Sunny that they'll find the ship again (with the Sunny sporting a "Hey! What about me!?" look), and the octopus clinging to Luffy as it cries its eyes out.
  • As Luffy finishes reminiscing on how he got there, we see that the baboon and the Komainu are still going at it with one another while Luffy ignores the two.
  • Luffy then realizes that a Vivre Card he was hiding in his hat is gone, and realizes that it must've been lost due to the whirlpool he got caught in. Best part?
  Luffy panicking: I LOST IT IN THE SEA!? *Sighs and goes back to normal* Oh well, nothing I can do about it.
  • So as one of the Beast Pirates shouts at the baboon to kill Luffy, Luffy simply glares at the baboon who goes on its knees and is completely tamed by him, shocking the Beast Pirate member at how easy it was for Luffy to tame it.
  • Tama, after being rescued by Luffy, asks Luffy to give her a minute as she pulls on her cheek and makes a dango from her own body. Luffy is freaking out and just as the baboon is going to attack again, Tama manages to tame it by feeding it the dango, and shocking Luffy in the process.
  • Then there is this part:
  O-Tama: I want to repay you in some way, Big Brother.
  Luffy: Oh, that would be great! I have a lot of questions about this place! *Stomach growls very loudly*
  O-Tama: All right. So you're hungry!
  • After cooking some rice for Luffy as a way of thanks, Tama is surprised at how quickly Luffy eats the rice. When Luffy asks for seconds, however, O-Tama has to explain that there are no seconds and the rice was all she had. Luffy, sporting a depressed look and licking the bowl, tries to lie on how he was full and didn't really want seconds with Tama calling him out at how bad at lying he was.
  • When a man in a tengu mask shows up, Luffy immediately thinks it's Usopp.
• Chapter 912:
  • Luffy nonchalantly decides to take one of Hitetsu's swords with him, since it'll make him look more like a samurai, even though he doesn't actually need one; it's clearly just for Rule of Cool. The sword he takes? Nidai Kitetsu, in the same family as Zoro's sword, Sandai Kitetsu, while totally not caring (or even paying attention) when Hitetsu states that it's cursed. The latter then proceeds to completely freak out as Luffy runs off anyway while ignoring his protests.
  • When Tama wakes up after fainting and remembers Ace's promise to her, she starts angrily hitting Luffy in the back of the head over and over for saying Ace is dead. Luffy just reacts with mild irritation, noting that it doesn't hurt but asking her to please stop hitting him anyway.
  • Luffy hears one of the thugs who are chasing after a fleeing lady yell "Hey, woman!", and wonders if that's Sanji who's shouting.
  • Upon reuniting, Luffy promptly glomps Zoro right in the face. Even better, Zoro doesn't seem to mind at all.
  • After Luffy tells Zoro that the water — and by extension, the meat of the animals who drank from it — is poisonous, Zoro muses mildly, "So that's why my stomach's been hurting.". Meanwhile, Luffy is eating said meat.
• Chapter 913:
  • When Hawkins asks if they know who's really pulling the strings behind Wano, Zoro denies it, only for Luffy to reveal that they know it's Kaido. When Zoro lightly scolds him by saying that Kin'emon told them not to say things like that, Luffy, in his usual unconvincing way, tries to take it back by claiming he was just kidding.
  • Zoro notices that the blade Luffy has is quite powerful and tells him to give it to him. Luffy refuses and wants to use it instead, only to punch someone while holding the sword.
  • Hawkins reveals his tarot ability has a randomness element to it, as the first card he draws results in his men slashing each other.
  • When the Heart Pirates see Luffy and co. from a distance, Bepo muses aloud whether they should go fetch them before the Straw Hats cause a disturbance, only for Shachi to point out that Bepo stands out too much. Quite correctly, too, as despite being dressed like a samurai, Bepo is very obviously still a bear. What's more, he, Shachi, and Penguin are all wearing samurai kimonos with the Heart Pirates jolly roger displayed quite blatantly on the front.
• Chapter 914:
  • After Tsuru fixes up Tama with the healing herbs, she warns her that she must not drink from the river anymore, and Tama cheerfully agrees...only for her stomach to growl again, prompting her to immediately shout "A warrior's shame!" and rush for the river once more, while an annoyed Tsuru yells at her.
  • When Tsuru asks Luffy and Zoro who they are, Zoro introduces himself with his Wano alias of Zorojuro, but Luffy starts to give his real name, until Zoro quickly cuts him off with "He's Luffytaro", prompting Luffy to quickly agree that that is definitely his name, and add an entirely convincing "gozaru"/"verily" at the end of the sentence. Tsuru then notes that they're probably from across the sea since they talk so funny, and Luffy thinks to himself, in complete seriousness, "How did she know?"
  • The Heart Pirates meet up with their captain to tell him that Luffy has arrived and is causing quite a ruckus with Zoro. Naturally, Law is pissed that they are drawing so much attention when they need to lay low.
• Chapter 915:
  • We're introduced to Holdem, another of Kaido's headliners. He has a lion on his stomach, and when the lion gets mad at Holdem, he punches him in the crotch. But because they share the same body, the lion is effected too.
  • When Urashima spots Kiku in the crowd and tries to get her attention, she tries to hide behind Zoro. It doesn't work considering Kiku towers over Zoro already.
  • When a group of sumo wrestlers grab Kiku from the crowd, Luffy asks Zoro why he didn't stop them. Zoro responds that he didn't want to attack naked guys.
• Chapter 916
  • Luffy declares he's a great sumo wrestler, and his record for this is that he beat Usopp in sumo.
  • When Holdem hears about the uproar caused by Kiku cutting Urashima's topknot, he says he can't do anything about it...because he's busy trying to pry Tama's cheeks off. When he finally does get involved, it's only because Luffy sent Urashima flying into his tower.
  • Luffy demands that one of Holdem's mooks that he just beat up tell them his boss's name, and the guy can only barely gasp out some garbled noises. Luffy actually thinks that's the name he asked for, and calls out a horribly botched version of Holdem's name while demanding that he come out.
• Chapter 917:
  • We're introduced to Speed, the third Headliner in the area alongside Hawkins and Holdem, and the user of a horse SMILE. She smiles like this◊.
  • Luffy recollects aloud who Jack is by recalling that he poisoned "Cat and Dog", but then "the elephant" (Zunesha) smashed him. Kiku, who has no context for any of this, is confused about the fact that they're apparently talking about animals.
  • Law arrives to distract-fight Hawkins dressed as a Komusō. Perfectly encapsulating Law's attitude because seriously, he's fighting with a basket on his head.
• Chapter 918:
  • After jumping on her back, Luffy takes control of Speed by using Tama's dango.
  • As Law fights Hawkins, he hopes that because Zoro is with Luffy, they won't do something like take out Holdem. When he finds out Luffy did, he is not happy and starts yelling at Zoro for screwing up his part of the plan when he catches up.
    Law: Are you kidding me?! Not only are you the most wanted person in the country, but now Jack's onto you, too! What the hell happened to the promise you made about keeping a low profile?!
    Zoro: Eh, sorry about that.
  • Even better, he immediately ditches his fight with Basil just to do this.
  • What's even funnier was that it wasn't Zoro's fault it happened. Luffy wasn't aware that they had to keep a low profile and Zoro didn't get a chance to tell him. And it's not like Luffy was going to keep a low profile for long, anyways.
    Law: And another thing! What are you doing in Kuri?! You're supposed to be a ronin in the Flower Capital!
    Zoro: It's not like I had any choice. I mean, I ran into Luffy, so...
    Law: Causing trouble already?! He just got here!
  • Luffy brings free water and food to Leftover town. Law warns him that this is rebellion against Wano, but Luffy says that he was just repaying Tama for the food she gave him. Then he runs off to get some meat, whilst Law and Zoro watch.
• Chapter 919:
  • The people of Leftover Town are celebrating thanking the pirates for bring food, Law looks angry at the thought of pirates doing good things.
  • When Luffy tells Speed to look after Tama, she angrily tells him not to order her around as she's one of Kaido's Headliners, then immediately states that it's only natural she look after her master.
  • After seeing the graves from last chapter Luffy is understandably shocked, especially when Law said Kin'emon only comes out at night. Turns out Kin'emon has a terrible case of diarrhea that keeps him on the toilet during the day. Luffy is understandably angry at Law for telling him ghost stories.
• Chapter 920:
  • Combined with Chapter 919, Zoro outdoes himself as he somehow manages to get lost and separated from the others while they were riding on the same lion dog! Even better, in typical Zoro fashion, he blames the lion dog for getting lost.
  • Sanji flirting with Kiku... without realizing she's a transvestite.
• Chapter 921:
  • Kin'emon decides to use his powers to disguise the rest of the Straw Hats, and when Nami gains a "kunoichi" ninja outfit, she outright slaps the perverted samurai for making her clothes too revealing. Doubly so when a few panels later, a real kunoichi by the name of Shinobu appears, and she's dressed in a white (manga version) stereotypical outfit of a ninja.
    • This moment serve as subtle callback to Sanji Obsession with seeing mermaids and to his dissatisfaction the first one he encountered was Kokoro.
  • Brook also is now dressed like a stereotypical depiction of a "ghost" in Japan. Though he mistakes it as a "guy wearing panties on his head".
  • Finally, tied with Nami's new outfit, Sanji expresses how grateful he is Nami was there before Shinobu appeared, to which Shinobu responds:
    Shinobu: I understand boy. A ripe woman...is a dangerous thing.
• Chapter 922:
  • Kaido appears in his full majestic dragon form, intimidating everyone...then he hics through his entire conversation as his own subordinates point out how much he is drunk.
    • The sheer fact that Jack, who was shown to be a violent brute incapable of reason, is the logical reasonable one compared to his boss.
  • When Law reveals that the reason Kaido has appeared is because he, Luffy, and Zoro were exposed, the Straw Hats angrily demand to know what he did, with Law retaliating they have no right to say that to him, making them instantly realize Luffy was responsible, to which they apologize.
  • Law once again, planning how to deal with an increasingly looming Kaido, then as Kaido appears, Luffy's actions...are predictable.
• Chapter 924:
  • Usopp, Franky, and especially Robin's reactions to the news of Luffy fighting Kaido. They must be seen to be believed◊.
  • Anime only, but Kaido mutters this as he walks away after beating Luffy:
  Kaido: "The Worst Generation. Screw them."
  • Zoro is casually riding along a random man's boat when he learns about Luffy. His face as he's eating wasabi sushi is already funny, but when he reads the news, he has a a huge Spit Take.
• Chapter 925:
  • Perona arguing with the stoic Mihawk after the latter comments about Moria from the newspaper article about him.
  Mihawk: If nothing else, Moria's persistent... like the horde of zombies he employs.
  Perona: Say what?! You dare insult Moria?! Ungrateful jerk!
  Mihawk: I owe him nothing.
  Perona: Yeah, but you owe me!
  [cuts to a moment of Perona cooking with a soup ladle]
  Perona: Have you forgotten all those times that I’ve cooked for you?!
  [cuts to Mihawk rapidly cutting some vegetables]
  Mihawk: You cooked, yes. But, I cooked more.
  Perona: Yeah, well I helped you with farming stuff, too!
  Mihawk: And I gave you a place to live.
  [Perona gasps in shocking defeat]
  • Jack being picked on by the other Calamities. It says a lot when apparently Jack is the most reasonable and responsible person in Kaido's entire crew.
• Chapter 926:
  • There's about three panels showing members of the Heart Pirates in the Flower Capital — however, since he would stick out like a sore thumb if he walked around Wano without a disguise, Bepo's panel has him taking a cue from his captain by wearing that basket on his head.
  • Shinobu has Belonephobia, meaning she's afraid of sharp objects. So someone stabbing near her hiding spot has her sprinting away while screeching at the top of her lungs.
  • Nami's attempt to prevent Orochi's officials from finding her and Shinobu hiding in the rafters gets told entirely in speech bubbles, and it is hilarious:
  Official: After them!!
  Official: An intruder among the eaves!!
  Nami: Mrow! ♥
  Official: Oh, it's a cat?!
  Shinobu: AAAAA!!!
  Nami: Shinobu!!!
  Official: An intruder and a cat!!

  • The anime instead has Akemi Okamura go really over the top with her cat impression, continuing to meow even after their cover is blown.
  • Luffy and Kid turn backbreaking labor into a competition between the two of them over who carried the most stone blocks.
    • Hell, even when Luffy & Kid pig out on the food they got for every block they hauled, they still bicker over who did the most work.
  Luffy: Got a problem?!
  Kid: Yeah, your dumb face!
  Luffy: I made one more trip than you, you know!
  Kid: So what?! I was still faster!
  Luffy: No, you weren't! I'm the strongest and the fastest!
  Kid: How do you know how many blocks you hauled?! You can't even count!
  Luffy: I can, too!
  Kid: My ass, you can!
  • The jailers wonder how they're going to break their spirits if they're always competitive with their labour work like they are. One of the jailers orders another one to say something to them.
  Bulky Jailer: Don't... chew too fast.
  Spiky-Haired Jailer: (hits the bulky jailer in the head) What?! Are you their mom?!
  • After Luffy and Kid eat enough to balloon up, the other prisoners stare in shock and awe as the two visibly slim down to normal in only a couple minutes.
  • We meet another Headliner, the deputy warden Dobon. He ate the Hippo SMILE Fruit, and like Holdem, it basically attached a hippo to his body. Though it looks like it's growing out of his ass. On top of that, the hippo will close its mouth around Dobon, muffling his voice.
• Chapter 927:
  • While enjoying Sanji's cooking for the first time since they split up during the Dressrosa Arc, Franky notices that the long line in front of Sanji's soba cart is entirely women, to which he suggests that Sanji spice up his soba a little in order to attract male samurai. Sanji is aghast at this idea.
  Franky: "ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO GATHER ALLIES FOR US, YOU BASTARD?!"
• Chapter 928:
  • Caribou's Butt-Monkey status continue. First he tries asking Luffy for his extra food tickets and then forming an alliance in order to escape only to be refused. Then, he was almost hit by an object thrown by Kid after he told Luffy false rumors regarding how Kid lost his arm. Finally, he is literally caught in an argument between two of the most dangerous Worst Generation.
• Chapter 929:
  • Kanjuro works undercover as a fishmonger. However he doesn't sell actual fish, but poorly drawn ones. Apparently he's doing such a poor job blending in that kids are crowding around him.
  • After working weeks as a carpenter, Franky learns the blueprints for the mansion were pawned off. Resulting in him going on a Wild Goose Chase to find them...only to learn they were stolen.
• Chapter 930:
  • When Zoro is in Ebisu, a town of Perpetual Smiler citizens, one woman uses her fingers to force his mouth into a smile, giving him a very wacky-looking expression.
  • In a very Black Comedy way: Big Mom and her crew make a showy entrance, where she announces that she's gonna make Luffy pay and take back Zeus...only for King to attack the ship and knock them right back down, including sending Big Mom crashing into the water.
  • When Sanji, Franky, Usopp, and Law are running away from the assassins sent after Sanji, Law quite states in his usual serious way that, if any of them do get captured, they must not reveal anything about the Minks or samurai who are part of the alliance and should "die with your mouths closed!", prompting Usopp to call him scary and state that Luffy would never say such a thing. Law just dryly responds "I'm more realistic."
  • This is then followed up by Usopp claiming that, if he gets caught, he'll talk to save himself, prompting Sanji to get annoyed with him and promise to protect him to keep that from happening. This is clearly exactly what Usopp was hoping for, as he cheers "Yay, it worked!", while Law gets a Demon Head at them.
• Chapter 931:
  • It's revealed that in order to properly don a Raid Suit, the user had to be naked, which explains why the Vinsmokes were without clothes during their transformations in the Totto Land arc. When Sanji takes off his kimono to don his Raid Suit, Usopp admonishes him for stripping in public.
  • This exchange between Sanji and Law, after the latter recognizes Sanji's Raid Suit as "Stealth Black":
    Sanji: (shouting) How the hell do you know so much about this!?
    Law: Everyone knows! The comic is huge in the North Blue!
    Sanji: Whatever, I don't care! Look! Don't ever call me that again! You got that?!
    Law: I know my stuff. I was a regular reader of the series. I rooted for Sora to kick Germa's ass time to time.
    Sanji: WELL, I HATED THEM, TOO!!
    • For that matter, Law freely admitting that he reads comics.
  • Sanji hates his Germa-given epithet? He names himself "Soba Mask" instead.
    Law: The name sucks. And he's obviously Germa.
    Usopp: Come on, man! Was that the best you got?!
    Franky: Why didn't you ask us to help...?
    Page One: Are you joking? WHAT KIND OF NAME IS "SOBA MASK"?!
  • While Sanji fights Page One with his Raid Suit for the first time, Franky and Usopp are left utterly flabbergasted at how Sanji was able to move faster than the human eye could move. Law explains to them that in the fictionalized comics about Germa 66, there was a man named "Stealth Black", who could disappear and blend in with any environment at will. Usopp's response?
    Usopp: YOU KNOW WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT!!
  • With Sanji's dream of obtaining invisibility powers finally fulfilled, he resolves to use it for peeping on a woman's bat-- er...helping the Straw Hats!
• Chapter 933:
  • The ninja Hanzo runs into Nami and Shinobu in the ceiling and recognizes the name Shinobu as a bewitching kunoichi known for her seduction, but believes he's been mistaken when he sees the older ninja. Shinobu responds with the ninja art of the Groin Attack. Then once Hanzo is down, she declares it her binding ninja art which Nami calls out for just adding it out of nowhere.
• Chapter 934:
  • With the disappearance of Big Mom and the possibility that she will be executed by Kaido, Perospero channels his inner The Starscream and taking over and renaming the Big Mom Pirates into the Peroespero Pirates. Daifuku objects and wanted Katakuri to be the one to takeover as captain. Seeing both her older brothers arguing in such a manner has Smoothie scolding them.
  • After taming a croco-shark to ride it, Big Mom comments how well-behave it is. Then Chopper reveals that Big Mom forced it to behave by hitting it twice on the head, leaving two bumps stacked on its head that Chopper is currently sitting on.
  • Big Mom looks at Chopper whenever the distance to Udon is brought up while she mentions she's starving.
    Chopper: Don't look at me while you're drooling everywhere!
  • Robin is not happy that she gathered little information during her mission. Which turns out to be an Understatement as she reveals a Long List of intel she had gotten.
    Robin: All I learned was the time Orochi will wake up on the day of battle, the contents of the tribute that will be carried to Onigashima by the shogun's procession, the time the banquet will begin, Kaidou's organizational chart of members listed by favor, their army numbers as well as weapon inventory, as well as Orochi's army and weaponry...
    Kanjuro: YOU'RE SO COMPETENT!
  • Sanji adds the women's bath...his input to the discussion of recent events. Then he bluntly asks where the public bathhouse is.
• Chapter 935:
  • Queen the Plague is nothing but funny during his introduction. He enters under his crew members calling out his name as if he were a rock star, performs what can only be called the running man as he sings about how he is not fat but has muscles instead. Also, he claims one of the reasons he doesn't slim down is because he would be too popular.
  • Later, when he asks for a report from the Headliner, Babanuki, he does a triple take!
  Queen: All right, lay it on me one-by-one... What's gotta bee in your bonnet today? Babanuki's Top 3 Pains-In-My-Ass. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd... GO! Number 3!
  Babanuki: Eustass Kid has escaped from the camp!
  Queen: WHAAAAATTTT!? Hmph. Number 2.
  Babanuki: The keys to the Sea Prism stone handcuffs have been stolen!
  Queen: WHAAAAATTTT!? Then give me Number 1.
  Babanuki: Straw Hat Luffy's running wild!
  (cuts to Luffy trying to escape with Hyo.)
  Babanuki: He's over there.
  Queen: WHAAAAATTTT!? THEN CHASE HIM! COME ON, MAN!
  • The fact that the bathhouse that Nami, Robin, and Shinobu go to is unisex. There's even a snorkel, suggesting a dude's underwater.
  • For a Funny Background Event, Minatomo the carpenter is seen yelling at someone, presumably for getting Distracted by the Sexy. Cue the next page, and he's on the floor nosebleeding, watching the aforementioned women getting their backs scrubbed by the male bathhouse attendants (actually more octopi making Kabuki Sounds).
  • While Law, Usopp, and Franky are discussing the whereabouts of Zoro, they realize Sanji is missing. Knowing him, he is most likely at the bathhouse "testing" his new toy.
• Chapter 936:
  • So from the cover, we get Aokiji trying to eat ramen and accidentally freezing it as he's about to chow down. Extra points that it was from Wanze, who makes noodles by swallowing flour and snorting out ramen noodles. Think Aokiji just dodged a bullet.
  • Raizo is able to talk to Kawamatsu due to a wagon in front of Kawamatsu's cell blocking him from sight. When a couple of guards move it away, Raizo is seen clearly by everyone.
  • When Queen removes Luffy's cuffs, Raizo is in disbelief that they'd remove them just like that after all the trouble he went to to get the key.
  • In typical fashion, Luffy not only doesn't listen to Queen's explanation about how the inferno sumo tournament works but is happy the seastone cuffs are off of him. Then afterwards, he insults Queen by not only calling him fat but a good guy for doing so.
  Luffy: Hey, Balloon guy!! If I send you flying...
  Queen: Balloon!?
  Luffy: Will you let us escape?
  Queen: Not only is he rude, but he also didn't listen to a thing we said!
  • Back in the bathhouse, we have the accidental return of Nami's deadliest attack: Happiness Punch! And considering there's some ladies who actually caught sight of her, it seems the attack has leveled up!
  • Sanji, of course, can't take the Happiness Punch and finally gives himself away with a nosebleed that disengages his raid suit's power.
  Sanji: A happy punch... straight to my heart! And... it's... A KNOCKOUT!
  • Though perhaps the most hilarious moment of all is when X Drake, one of the more serious Supernova members, goes to investigate only to be nearly knocked out by the sight of a barely dressed woman. Even more so, Hawkins reprimands him for basically falling for a random naked woman as Drake tries to deny it.
  Hawkins: If you're that weak to naked women, then you should've informed me beforehand!
  X Drake: (weakly defensive) Who you calling "weak"...?
  • It turns out Law's statement that everyone from North Blue knows about the story of "Sora, Warrior of the Sea" is true. When fellow North Blue pirates, X Drake and Basil Hawkins, see Sanji in his Raid Suit, they too can't stop gushing over him.
  Hawkins: Everyone in the North Blue knows the story of Sora, Warrior of the Sea. But to see one of its villains...!
  X Drake: Stealth Black...! Is he the real deal...?!
  • The entire conflict of X Drake and Basil Hawkins vs. Soba Mask is full of moments of both North Blue pirates trying to keep their composure on the fact that they're battling one of the villains from the comics.
  X Drake: You're supposed to be a member of the evil army! Why are you protecting women in a bathhouse?! What happened, Stealth Black?!
  Sanji (Soba Mask): Don't call me that! I'm Soba Mask, dammit!
  Hawkins: You're clearly with Germa! Now, tell us why you're here!
  (Sanji dodges both pirates' attacks)
  X Drake: You villain! YOU THINK I'M AFRAID OF YOU?!
  • Despite supposedly being villains, the two basically act like fanboys the entire fight, acting as if its they're characters from the comic fighting against the real Stealth Black, giving us a few gems.
  'X Drake': It's just like the comics!
  'Hawkins': I'll get him next time.
• Chapter 938:
  • After Zoro defeats Kamazou and faints, Gyukimaru happily steals his scythe.
  • Sanji's punishment for peeping. Even Franky questions how one can be hurt like that.
  • Toko tries her "I'm not a boy" bit on Zoro. He is not amused.
• Chapter 939:
  • We start off with the cover page: Jimbei getting a haircut from a spider crab with a moustache.
  • The face Hiyori makes when thinking of her brother and meeting everyone else again. It reminds one of the very face that Luffy used when Boa Hancock tried to freeze him with her Devil Fruit powers.
  • As Zoro tries to sleep, he complains about how loud Hiyori and Toko are being, wondering how he can sleep like this. He promptly falls dead asleep mid-sentence. And then Toko also falls asleep next to him, while Hiyori happily gushes on unaware.
  • The fact that Madilloman, a Gifter with the Armadillo SMILE powers, is being booed for using guns by the other members of his crew. He then points out that they are performing an execution, not a real sumo battle.
  • When Madilloman goes to defend himself from one of Luffy's blows, the little armadillo part of his body hugs his face to defend them both.
  • Kawamatsu casually saying how he wants to join in on the fun.
• Chapter 940:
  • While looking for the keys to Luffy's collars, Raizo ended up finding Caribou's. This would result in the two teaming up, and the ridiculous image of Raizo's giant face poking out of Caribou's Swamp-Swamp stomach.
• Chapter 941:
  • The color spread involves the Straw Hats trying to hitch a ride to some rather interesting places. With Chopper and Brook's locations probably being the most hilarious as they wish to go to Cotton Candy Kingdom and Panty Heaven respectively.
  • After getting the news of Komurasaki's "death" from Kaido, Queen is so grief stricken that he doesn't ask why both Luffy and Grandpa Hyou are extremely obese as Luffy asks when they're going to start the second day of the "sumo tournament" but only notes that the two are now somehow fat. Incidentally, Queen's stash of oshiruko has mysteriously vanished...
    Luffy: Aren't we going to start today's battle!?
    Queen: I don't remember them being that fat yesterday!!
  • Brook comes in to find Zoro, Hiyori, and Toko all sleeping together. His "eyes" (or rather lack of) are popping out of his head.
  • Hiyori is rather calm and looks actually proud as she comments on how most would've loved to be in bed with her as she asks Zoro if he enjoyed being in the same bed. Zoro's only comment is how "chirpy" she seems to be.
• Chapter 945:
  • Zoro pointing out one particular "ninja" art.
  Jigoku Benten: Ninpo — Hell Biwa!
  (Jigoku Benten fires her biwa like a rapid-fire firearm, causing Zoro to dodge in surprise.)
  Zoro: You cheater! That's just a gun!
  • Coupled with awesome, Brook using his soul power to scare some of the ninja.
  Chome: NOT AGAIN!
  Orochi Oniwabanshu Ninja: IT'S THE GASHADOKURO!
  • Sanji's reaction to seeing Zoro saving Hiyori.
    • The fact that Sanji believes he's the one who should be getting the girls because his bounty is higher now.
  • In comparison to Queen, the Beast Pirates, and Luffy's reactions to Big Mom's appearance, Hyogoro just has a question mark, as he has no idea who she is.
  • Then there is the line Big Mom says right after entering the prison and everyone recognizing her.
  Big Mom: Big Mom? Is that a tasty treat?
• Chapter 946:
  • Everyone's reaction to Luffy's Accidental Public Confession about eating the oshiruko. Even better, Luffy himself had no idea he said it aloud, which means every other time he talked to himself, he thought he was having an Internal Monologue!
  • Luffy — who doesn't know that Big Mom has amnesia — is shocked and confused when she doesn't recognize him...before concluding that it must be because of his samurai "disguise" that, by now, consists of no more than Luffy wearing his kimono tied around his waist.
• Chapter 947:
  • Luffy is setting himself up to block Big Mom's attack, knowing well that if he doesn't he and Hyogoro are going to either be hurt or die. Big Mom strikes! ...And then Luffy and Hyogoro are found embedded into the wall of the prison from the attack.
  • Then we have Queen's gamble on stopping Big Mom. Which involves a bait of o-shiruko and a Brachiosaurus-size headbutt from atop the prison's wall that, unfortunately for Queen, restores Big Mom's memories. Cue Queen making an Enel face in horror when he realizes he completely failed to stop her and just made things worse.
    • And then Big Mom goes to sleep.
    • What really sells this scene, however, is Queen's desperation in restraining Big Mom and taking her to Kaido as he forgets that Luffy is now free to go wild in the prison.
    Queen: What are you waiting for?! Get out the 100 percent Sea Prism Stone handcuffs and chains, we need to lock her up, now! Go! Go! Go!
    (The guards dash to get the handcuffs and chains as fast as they can.)
    Queen: Wrap it around her 100 times! Go! Go! Go!
    (Big Mom is now bound in chains)
    Guard: She's bound, sir!
    Queen: More, MORE! You think that's enough to hold her?! We won't be safe until you double those chains! Bring me all the animal sedatives you can scrounge up and pronto! Our lives are on the line, you morons!
    (The guards now hurry with the tranquilizers and inject Big Mom with 100 doses.)
    Queen: You! Look alive! Is my ship ready?!
    Guard: Uh... Absolutely, sir!
    Queen: Prepare to evacuate and leave only the bare minimum of staff! Everyone else, get on board right away!
    [...]
    (Queen and everyone following him rushes to his ship carrying Big Mom)
    Queen: Set sail! Full steam ahead! WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO ONIGASHIMA!
    • Queen’s facial expression and desperation practically scream “I just saw my life flash before my eyes and nearly died of a heart attack!”
  • Finally, we have Momonosuke and Tama heading inside, with Momo not wanting to but Tama charging in, despite both promising to wait for Chopper and Kiku.
• Chapter 948:
  • Kawamatsu unleashes 13 years worth of vomit all over the prison guards. All that poison fish did a number on him.
• Chapter 949: The way Luffy defeats Babanuki: he ties a knot in his elephant's trunk, causing his shot to backfire, knocking him out.
  • Crossing over as a Moment of Awesome, after being inspired by Luffy's speech the prisoners start eyeing Daifugo, clearly ready to give him the beating of his life.
    Daifugo: Hold it you fools! Remember! The first punishment that awaits anyone that stands up to the jailer is-
    Prisoner 1: Yeah yeah, we don't care.
    Prisoner 2: We've decided to rebel.
• Chapter 950:
  • After Ashura-Doji agrees to join the alliance, he and Dogstorm joke about how they're probably stronger than Kin'emon due to having 20 years to become stronger. Kin'emon gets annoyed and calls them "old men" nearly starting another fight.
  • The prisoners expressing skepticism that Raizo was sent from the past, citing that he always looked old to them and couldn't tell his age.
    Raizo: So we're just straight to making fun of me now!?
  • Back at Udon, y'know how Luffy willingly took the plague bullet to convince the prisoners to rebel? Well, now Chopper has to find a cure for the plague, or Luffy will die! Chopper's fury at Luffy being so reckless with his life makes it better.
• Chapter 951:
  • Usopp and Robin sneak past Orochi's men by adopting absolutely ridiculous expressions (the same ones they made when they learned Luffy was beaten by Kaido) while Brook pretends to be haunting them.
  • Once again, Sanji has a wanted poster with a particularly bad drawing of his face. Though he's not the only one.
  • Kin'emon and Dogstorm are surprised at how organized Ashura-Doji is that Ashura gives us this line:
    Ashura-Doji: Did you think I spent the last 20 years sleeping or what...?
  • How nonchalant Big Mom is being about her imprisonment. She's not only being fed but when King turns down her offer to join her crew, she casually asks Queen to take off her handcuffs.
  • Despite the implications behind Big Mom and Kaido clashing, the panic everyone has when they witness it. Even Queen is joining in despite a minute ago yelling at Big Mom.
• Chapter 952:
  • We're introduced to the other Yakuza bosses of Wano. Their reaction to hearing Luffy casually call Hyogoro "gramps"? Try to cut off one of his limbs.
  • The many casual excuses and attempts Queen tries to use to get out of Onigashima while Big Mom and Kaido are still going at it. Even better is how his subordinates see through it.
• Chapter 953: When Kawamatsu offers to let Hiyori ride on his back since the snow is so deep, Hiyori refuses, stating she's not a child...while puffing out her cheeks like a blowfish in a very childlike pout, which Kawamatsu immediately lampshades.
• Chapter 954: While the pirate alliance between Big Mom and Kaido is cause for alarm, the fact they announce it making a joint toast, drunk off their asses, and the Mass "Oh, Crap!" from even their own crews, as well as the Marines is funny.
  • Further, the fact they cheerily announce it's only until they conquer the world, as if implying they'd have better things to do afterwards.
• Chapter 955:
  • While he is overjoyed that his sister is safe, Momonosuke recalls that she had a penchant for flying kicks. He at first worries what an older Hiyori's flying kick will do to him right after he mentions how coarse and a crybaby she can be.
  • Sanji trying to kiss up to Momonosuke so he can meet Hiyori. The best part? Zoro calls him out for it.
  • Franky yelling to the other carpenters to fix the ships so that they can handle at least one hundred thousand. The carpenters have to point out that they won't be getting those kinds of numbers but Franky doesn't care.
  • Luffy is in Gear Fourth and he is still not getting the hang of the technique that Grandpa Hyou is trying to teach him. This surprises the men who just watched him shatter a large cube of solid steel with one punch (granted, that punch was his King Kong Gun, but still).
    Luffy: Well, that was a failure.
    Hyou: You strained too hard.
    Prisoners: That was a failure?!
  • Zoro admits that he never used Sunacchi when Momonosuke tells him how he was told not to use the word.
• Chapter 956: The Reveal that the World Government has abolished the Warlord system, which means all of them are now wanted pirates again.
  • Among the reactions, highlights include Mihawk and Boa Hancock, both of whom respond with a Badass Boast after being told to surrender.
    Marines: (at Kuraigana Island) Surrender yourself at once, Hawk-Eyes Mihawk! Let's get this over with!
    Mihawk: I feel a shudder of excitement. It's been a long time... I suppose I'm the one being chased, now. [laughs]
    
    Hancock: (at Amazon Lily) Don't panic! We have the advantage. There's a good reason why we were chosen to become Warlords. Because we're powerful; overwhelmingly so.
  • Buggy's response is to encourage his men to fight while planning on doing the exact opposite.
    Buggy: We're gonna give them the fight of their lives! [...] I'll be counting on you guys, alright? Show them what we're made of!
    Buggy: [thinking] ...While I get the hell out of here!
  • For Weevil, his mother finally lets him attack the Marines, aka the ones he's wanted to exact bloody vengeance against since Marineford.
• Chapter 958: In a flashback, we see that Oden refers to Shanks and Buggy as "Redtaro" and "Buggyjiro". Buggy is pissed that he's the "jiro" or "second son".
• Chapter 959:
  • Sanji takes a moment to brag about his bounty being higher than Zoro's. In response, Zoro cuts another cliff with Enma trying to attack Sanji.
    Sanji: You should really wear some armour, too.
    Zoro: No! That stuff slows me down.
    Sanji: You need it. You guys with the low bounties are frail.
    [Zoro growls and pulls out Enma, much to Sanji's shock]
    Zoro: ENMA!
    [With one powerful slash, Zoro cuts off another piece of the cliff and half of Sanji's cigarette.]
    Sanji: Don't you test me! I'll put a boat up your ass!
  • How does the Kozuki Oden flashback begin? With him walking back into the capital and everyone screaming to "hide your children, hide your wives, and hide your livestock". All while he says his catchphrase about this place being too small.
• Chapter 960:
  • The way we're introduced to Tsuru and Kin'emon. Kin'emon is trying to take money from Tsuru, only for her to quickly catch him and make him pay everything back by taking what's on him. When Kin'emon is next seen, he's buck-naked with only a piece of cloth wrapped around his waist, then taking a boar some men had found to sell and stealing their clothes too.
  • Kozuki Oden is hilariously dark. Especially his childhood.
    • When he wasn't even a year old, he flung his wet nurse across a room. At two, he could catch rabbits with his bare hands. At four, he threw a boulder at a large bear and crushed it. At six, he was roaming the Red Light District and wasting Royal funds. At eight, he was getting drunk and fighting gamblers. At nine, the Yakuza itself banned Oden from their casino, and in response he burned it down! They captured him at 10 and sentence him to hard labor, only for him to climb the ranks and run the place. It seemed by 14 he cooled down, when he redirected a river to a village going through a drought, only for it to be a cover for him to try to get off the island. Then at 15 he got a job where he would kidnap women in the Capital and form a harem, leading to the "Harem Revolt".
    • His official introduction. Oden crashed a Viking Funeral and used the body to boil himself some oden (the food).
    • There's something just hilarious about seeing the Shogun (and Oden's father) Sukiyaki facepalming as someone goes over Oden's list of crimes. One gets the sense that he's been extremely forgiving towards the boy up to this point. Or perhaps the flood intended to help the Capital was particularly disastrous...
  • Denjiro's introduction, where he casually swindles money out of a man.
• Chapter 962:
  • Denjiro and Kin'emon were respectively in awe and grateful to Oden that they decided to join him in exile. Oden started his exile the previous chapter, so why is this here? He never even realized they were actually there until now. Even when Yasuie asked Oden about them Oden never caught on at all.
  • Oden's expression of disgust when Denjiro and Kin'emon won't stop following him.
  • When Oden is made Daimyo of Kuri, everyone gets worked up on being made his retainers, that they cry hard enough to their tears flood the room they're in.
• Chapter 963:
  • We learn what happened after Oden berated the people of Wano for persecuting Cat Viper and Dogstorm (And Kawamatsu, apparently);
  Oden: Goodbye, then! (Walks off)
  Dog, Cat, Kawamatsu: Don't just leave us here!!
  • Also, the future Akazaya Nine becoming proper samurai to such a degree that Oden can't stand it.
  Kin'emon: Why, Lord Oden! How farest thee on this fine morn?
  Kanjuro: This tofu preparation is most delectable!
  Oden: THE HELL'S GOTTEN INTO YOU LOT?! YER CREEPIN' ME OUT!
  • This goes full circle much later when Oden returns to Wano after sailing with Gol D. Roger. His retainers have lost much respect to him and call him scum, and Oden tells them to be more respectful.
  • The fact that not only did the gigantic Mountain God somehow survived being bisected horizontally, but also that Oden literally stitched him up and used him and the now-grown piglet as transports.
• Chapter 964:
  • Neither Whitebeard nor Oden's retainers want him to join the former's pirate crew. Whitebeard and Kin'emon even have a fistbump over their mutual opinion, to Oden's chagrin.
  • When Marco tells Dogstorm and Catviper that there are way more than just five islands in the world, it looked like they had a heart attack.
  • Oden comes to rescue his future wife Toki from slave-driving pirates. It would be epic...if it weren't for the fact he's so beaten up and swollen from riding Whitebeard's anchor chain for three days, he's mistaken for a sea monster and scares the pirates. Even better, one shift later, and he's all better.
  • Upon hearing Oden is from Wano, Toki reveals that she's always wanted to go there and asks him to be her guide. He looks absolutely revolted by the prospect. Later she asks Whitebeard, and he makes the exact same face. Clearly, Wano did not leave a good impression on either.
  • The Whitebeard Pirates celebrating Oden becoming their new member while insulting Whitebeard. Even funnier:
  Whitebeard: Oy!
  • As it turns out, Oden was the most excitable of the crew. Always running headfirst into whatever caught his interest, regardless of the possible dangers. A page has panel after panel of the crew trying to call him out of his excitement to no avail. Just how dangerous was it? On a snowy island, Oden became stuck in a block of ice, and on a desert island, he caught on fire!
• Chapter 965: Jozu and Marco fawning like gossiping schoolgirls over Oden and Toki's courtship.
  • Also from that chapter. Oden charges Roger full tilt, only for Roger to just remark, "Hey, Samurai!" and send him flying through six trees and into a seventh.
• Chapter 966:
  • When Roger finally meets Oden, Rayleigh and Gaban are gearing up to deal with him when Roger tells that he'll handle it since he doesn't want them to get hurt. Rayleigh points out that Roger simply wants to fight him.
  • So, what happens after several days of battle? Why the two crews call a truce and begin exchanging treasure!
  • What's Shanks' thought on not being able to sleep for your entire life when Buggy tells him of the rumor about Teach? He wonders about how you now have all the time to do the things you want to do.
  • Whitebeard's disgusted face when Oden begs him to let him (Oden) sail with Roger for a year.
  • Edward Newgate, The Strongest Man in the World, literally fuming off to the side over his little brother joining Roger's crew, petulantly refusing to say goodbye to Oden. He's disinterested in the vast amount of treasure Roger left behind in thanks, but upon hearing Roger also left food as well, Whitebeard commands they hurry up and return it, concerned about the possibility of Oden and his family going hungry.
  • Once again, Dogstorm and Cat Viper somehow manage to stowaway without anyone noticing to stay with Oden.
• Chapter 967:
  • Roger reassures Neptune that they have no plans of coming back in the future to kidnap his "hairy daughter", leading Neptune to reply indignantly that his daughter won't be hairy.
  • When Toki falls ill and has to stay in Wano, Oden continues on with his adventure without her. Even though she gives him her blessing, his retainers call him scum for leaving his family behind. Pretty sad, then we get this:
    Roger: (smirking) Scoundrel.
    Oden: You want to read these messages on your own?!
• Chapter 973: In the midst of the darkness of these past chapters (and including this one), the flashbacks bring a few moments of levity:
  • The Oro Jackson got out of Skypeia with the same method as the Straw Hats did: using a giant octopus that acts like a hot-air balloon.
  • The Roger Pirates objecting to some of Oden's parenting.
    Oden: Momo, what kind of women are your type, huh?
    Rayleigh: How old do you think he is?!
    Oden: (on teaching Momonosuke swordsmanship) Just think of humans as fish cakes, and chop 'em up!
    Shanks: What are you teaching him?!
• On Chapter 975, Denjiro reveals himself to the other Akazaya Nine and all their reinforcements turn out to be fine. He praises Kin'emon's "cunning plan" to misdirect the traitor by telling his close comrades the meeting point was on Port Togake despite Yasuie's secret code directing them to the wharf of Port Habu, knowing that the traitor was one of them and would pass this wrong info on to Orochi. Kin'emon plays it cool and agrees that this is indeed what happened...but he's actually dumbstruck because he genuinely misinterpreted the code! Kin'emon lampshades the following chapter that he's probably used up the rest of his good luck.
  • On the cover story, after spending the last few parts risking his life to save Chiffon, Gotti gets a shock when she kisses him on the cheek and says "Thank you whoever you are". He accidentally saved Lola instead.
  • Three of the Worst Generation teaming up again like in Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, destroying one of the Beasts Pirate Ships. Never mind that they're still surrounded by their enemies, or that there's a raging squall, they're more focused on bickering with each other.
  Luffy: Stand back, you guys!
  Law: You stand back! Take your own dumb advice.
  Luffy: I've got this, Traffy! Make yourself useful and stay out of it!
  Law: I said no! Back off!
  Kid: Alright, ladies, stop your bickering. I've got this!
  Luffy: Damn it, Jaggy! Not you, too!
  Kid: Pipe down, you're annoying!
  Law: Neither of you better get in my way!
  Luffy: Watch me! [launches himself to the ship] I was here first!
  Kid: Get back here! [Kid does the same]
  Luffy: I said I got this!
  Kid: Oh, like hell you do!
  • Even when they're in front of an enemy squad, all three of them can't help but still bicker like children, complete with Law being a show off with his powers just for the sake to up-stage them. Even the Beast Pirates squad in front of them can't help but be confused with their continuous squabbling.
  [Law uses his Shambles to swap places with a raindrop to teleport to the ship before the both of them land]
  Luffy: You back off!
  Kid: Go away!
  Law: ROOM's even more effective in the rain.
  Luffy: No fair! Your power's too cool! Why'd you gotta go and rub it in?!
  Law: Suck it up.
  Kid: You don't need to be a damn showoff!
  Law: Oh, the kettle has an opinion.
  Luffy: You're both dumb! I can wrap this up in one shot, you know!
  Kid: Would you shut up?! Also, I can do the same damn thing at half the time as you!
  Law: We're wasting time! I'm going in, and you can't stop me! You got that, losers?
  Luffy and Kid: "Losers"?!
• Chapter 976:
  • The other Scabbards crowd around Kin'emon and grill him for the truth. They don't buy Denjiro's claim about Kin'emon's cunning plan.
  • The Scabbards are still on Law's ship from when it rose underneath their boat. As they're thanking him for his hospitality, Law is yelling at them to get off his submarine.
  • Robin's dark suggestions return when she suggests that the attack on the Beast Pirates ship was "the vengeful spirit of a baby that died at sea". Usopp states that sounds "cuddly" at this point.
  • Jimbei makes a flowery speech after destroying one of Kaido's ships with two attacks. Once he is done proclaiming his joining the Straw Hat crew, Law and Kid are in disbelief the former Warlord is joining Luffy. Jimbei also ends the chapter apologizing for his long and flowery speech.
  • In a meta-sense, Jimbei joining the Straw Hats as their Helmsman this chapter. Despite being a dual Awesome/Heartwarming moment, there's still the fact that it took the Straw Hats 976 chapters and 23 out-of-universe years to recruit something as vital to an ocean voyage as a dedicated helmsman. Even more funny is how this actually fits with the Straw Hats: they don't recruit something so vital as either a doctor or a shipwright until after they arrive to the Grand Line.
• Chapter 977:
  • The reason that Jimbei was late meeting up with the Straw Hats? After helping the injured Sun Pirates get away, they had a farewell party to see Jimbei off!
  • So what do the Straw Hats want to do now that Jimbei is with them? Why drink to celebrate in the middle of a stormy sea before a major battle, of course!
  • Apparently, Zoro has the ability to detect booze from miles away.
    • And when they do get ahold of the good stuff, he looks as happy as a kid in a candy store.
  • Kin'emon continues throughout the chapter to insist that he had it all planned out. Though he almost chokes when Denjiro asks him for the real plan with Raizo knowing all too well that Kin'emon doesn't have a plan.
    • And Denjiro continues to heap praise on Kin'emon for the strategy they made for some reason. Keep in mind that Denjiro used to be a young conman...
  • Law knows Luffy well enough after his time with the Straw Hats that he's going to charge headlong into battle no matter what anyone says, so making him or the Hot-Blooded Kid follow any sort of plan is an exercise in futility. So he deliberately builds his battle plan around the chaos he knows they'll cause. It later goes off without a hitch.
    Law: Honestly, it won't matter what kind of plan you slap together. We're dealing with two Grade-A idiots as allies, who'll charge straight in no matter what. But, if we use them as decoys, we can salvage the operation.
  • The best part of Law's plan, though, is the tactical map with the main forces going left and right — and another force labelled "Idiots" going straight forward!
  • After all the planning, it is rather humorous to watch the Straw Hats destroy the main gate guards just so that they can get at the booze the guards have.
  • Coupled with the moment above, we see that Nami, Usopp, and Chopper stayed on the Sunny watching safely from a distance while the rest of the crew demolished the guards. Once it is over, they jump in and claim a team victory.
  • Apparently, the other Kid Pirates have adopted Killer's laughter style and even Luffy calls them out for being oddballs.
  • So, while the party is going on, what is Big Mom doing? Why, changing into a kimono.
  • Kin'emon calls the Straw Hats to regroup with the rest of the alliance so they can further discuss strategy, but Law pointedly tells him to leave them be.
• Remember Queen's musical number? Well, he and the other Beast Pirates sure do, as it's now a music video with Scratchmen Apoo as the DJ!
  • At one point Queen is singing right in the face of an uncomfortable-looking Den Den Mushi.
  • King, meanwhile, takes one look at the antics, rolls his eyes, and walks away.
  • When it's the Tobiroppo's turn for Audience Participation there's silence. Only for Queen to comment he's not surprised, as the Tobiroppo are buzzkills anyway.
    • He tries to call out for the Numbers, only for them to trash the set.
• Chapter 978:
  • After reaching Onigashima, Kin'emon slices and sinks the ships the alliance used to reach it as they won't be turning back. While Usopp and Chopper are shocked that there's no plan to escape if things go sour, Franky is yelling at Kin'emon to not even think about doing it to the Sunny.
  • The fact that Ulti had the cajones to insult Kaido.
    Ulti: Is Kaido stupid or something?
    The other five Tobiroppo: DON'T TRASH-TALK THE COMMANDER, IDIOT!!!
• Chapter 979:
  • The Kid Pirates rushed on ahead into Onigashima without hearing the rest of the plan, so Luffy went after them to make sure they won't get spotted. Then Zoro goes after Luffy so that they won't get lost. Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper know exactly what's wrong with this, having the exact same Reaction Shot twice in a row.
    Franky: Where did Luffy run off to?
    Jimbei: About that; he noticed Kid and his crew going up the steps and got worried they might get in the way of Kin'emon's plan.
    Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper: He's just going to get in a fight and make things worse!
    Usopp: Why'd you let him get away?!
    Jimbei: Zoro said exactly what you said and he ran off, too!
    Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper: He'll just lose his way and make things worse!
  • Almost exact anyway. They're all visibly agitated about Luffy getting spotted by the enemy. The thought of Zoro getting lost elicits actual crying. (Except from Sanji)
  • Sanji's reaction to how the Brachio Tank-5 is occupied by beautiful ladies (and Shinobu). He immediately wants to trade places with the pilots, Chopper and Usopp. Usopp asked Sanji if he'd make a better shot with the cannon then him, forcing Sanji to concede.
  • Franky offers Robin a ride on the Black Rhino, only for Brook to take it instead. Franky tells him that's meant for women, but Brook comments that it's a good opportunity for male bonding.
  • That bit with Ulti in the previous chapter? Well, yeah, it becomes even funnier when it's revealed she's actually the proxy of a Smitten Teenage Girl towards Kaido.
    Page One: What's with the change in tone?!
  • With a lot going on, Big Mom is still trying to put on her kimono. Sure with her size, it would definitely be troublesome, but come on...
• Chapter 980:
  • The fact that Zoro, of all people, managed to find his way to the Banquet Hall, so that he could reprimand Luffy about giving them away. While giving away the fact that they're not allied with the Beast Pirates. (Granted, the carnage Luffy started was practically a smoke signal.)
  Kid & Killer: Can he hear himself right now!? (Internally: These guys are the worst!)
  • The second that Zoro learns that the Beast Pirates were throwing away oshiruko, he changes his tune and decides to cut them up. Their response?
  Kid Pirates: Why does everyone care so much about oshiruko?!
  • Zoro is glad to see that Luffy has worked out his anger, and what do they decide to do? Run away, very fast. Luffy's smile just seals it.
  • The Beast Pirates are given the chance to become a member of the Tobi Roppo, and many of them take the chance...aside from the non-Gifters who decide to just get back to the party.
  • After getting knocked out by Apoo, Luffy comes back swinging by...biting a wolf Gifter's wolf head shut just as it tries to get a bite out of the two Straw Hats.
  • There's something funny watching Kid, who was trying to keep himself hidden so as not to draw attention to himself, smashing Apoo like a bug with a giant metal hand. Apoo's shocked face also adds to the funny.
• Chapter 981:
  • Luffy, Zoro and Kid spend as much time retreating and warding off attackers as they do arguing who blew their stealth mission the worst. Killer, who had to retrieve his captain, must feel like a babysitter.
  • The Achilles' Heel to Apoo's amazingly-destructive Devil Fruit? Cover your ears! It only works if the target can hear his music; it's an Always Accurate Attack if they can, but completely worthless if they can't. There's something depressingly funny about it behaving like the Soundproof ability from Pokemon.
    • Killer is the one explaining this function to his fellow Supernovas, while they're still covering their ears and thus respond with a collective "What?".
  • Kin'emon and his men encounter an unexpectedly annoying obstacle: a brothel. Unsurprisingly, Sanji is practically sucked into the brothel on sight, but comes out with a very dead-looking expression. The accompanying Straw Hats take this to mean the brothel has no women in attendance (and thus has no male customers to intercept them) and begin marching past until they hear a voice from inside. They all hide in the water except for Chopper in his little tank, who sees that the sole occupant is BIG MOM!!
    • Even funnier, Big Mom was delayed arriving to the party because she'd been changing into her kimono. Sanji might have accidentally peeked in on her, explaining his mood.
    • Also, Big Mom in a brothel. She may have been trying to "add more members to her family." Or the moment she arrived, all the other workers/customers said Screw This, I'm Outta Here.
  • The poor Big Mom Pirates have become the victim of a Running Gag. They rush to Big Mom's aid now that they're allied with the Beast Pirates, climbing the waterfall again...only to be knocked down again by a different firebird: Marco.
  Perospero: YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!
  Other Big Mom Pirates: AGAIN?!
• Chapter 982:
  • In the cover story, Gotti carries Lola away from the Navy, whereas Chiffon is the one carrying Bege.
  • Fukurokuju reports to Kaido about the four Worst Generation pirates attacking, and his images of Luffy, Zoro, Kid, and Killer show them as demons with super sharp teeth and white eyes. Including Killer who normally does not have his eyes or mouth exposed.
  • Usopp and Chopper have the unfortunate task of luring away Big Mom from the rest of the group. Carrot's understandably worried, but Nami...
  Nami: Meh, its whatever.
  Carrot: "WHATEVER!?" THAT'S BIG MOM!
  Nami: Exactly! Nothing we can do about her!
  • Before that moment happens, both Chopper and Usopp were spotted by Big Mom in her brothel, who doesn't know they're part of the Straw Hats thanks to their Beasts Pirates disguises. Chopper decides to play along with that knowledge.
    Chopper: Pardon me, ma'am! My name is Tank Commander Chopper and I'm reporting for duty!
    Usopp: [thinking in dread] Why didn't he give her a fake name?!
    Chopper: If you need anything, ask me! I'll be on security for the banquet!
    Big Mom: Oh, I see. Thanks for your service. [Shuts her brothel's shoji door]
    Usopp: [thinking in shock] SHE BOUGHT IT?!
    • Afterwards, they're both off the hook... for a couple of seconds.
      Big Mom: Well, that's odd. Feels like we've met somewhere before...
      [Big Mom ponders for a moment until she finally realizes who she spoke to.]
      Big Mom: Wait a second...! [crashes through the brothel] IT'S YOU!
      [Chopper screams in complete and utter terror]
      Big Mom: You're the Straw Hat's little pipsqueak tanuki, aren't you?!
      Chopper: [Stomping the hatch] Driver Usopp! Retreat at full speed! RETREAT AT FULL SPEED!
  • After two years of speculation on what Marco's message to Luffy could be, it's finally revealed to simply say "I might be late, but I'll be there". Considering Nekomamushi didn't make it to Luffy to deliver it, the message was moot. Leave it to Trolling Creator Oda to do that.
  • Page One and Ulti's hilarious brother-sister relationship, with Ulti demanding Page One give her a piggyback ride resulting in the two of them falling down the stairs into the path of Luffy.
    Ulti: Who the hell are you?
    Luffy: No, who are you?
• Chapter 983:
  • Big Mom using her powers on wooden sandals, an umbrella, and a lantern. Effectively creating Youkai.
  • Look carefully, there's a Gifter who looks like he has a chicken growing out of his skull.
  • Chopper and Usopp managed to lose Big Mom because she diverted her attention to Nami's group (who had Zeus), and also because their tank grew mechanical chicken legs to run away.
  • Chopper and Usopp feel like they don't have to worry about the girls, because Sanji is with them. Unfortunately, Sanji wandered off to find prostitutes. Nami is furious.
• Chapter 984:
  • Chiffon and Lola’s expressions when Pound reveals to them that he's their dad.
  • Jimbei and Robin hamming it up while blending in as the enemy, with Jimbei using Totally Radical slang and Robin pretending to be Axe-Crazy and sporting a Slasher Smile.
    • Admittedly most of Kaido's crew are drunk, but its hilarious that Jimbei's disguise, (which doesn't even cover his Sun Pirates tattoo or the fact that he's a ten foot blue-skinned fanged fishman) works perfectly.
  • When Law's group arrives at the back of Onigashima, they're promptly greeted by Cat Viper falling flat on his face after Marco literally "drops him off".
  • There's a certain reveal that would leave Sanji foaming at the mouth if he knew what his captain was up to.
• Chapter 985: Luffy, of all people, points out that Yamato's logic is completely nonsensical.
  Yamato: I, Kozuki Oden, have heard much about you. Now listen well, Brother of Ace, I desire to board your pirate ship! Do you accept?
  Luffy: Oh, boy... Do you know how crazy you sound right now? Just saying "I'm Kozuki Oden!" doesn't make it true!
  Yamato: Fine, you're more Oden than me! Happy?!
  Luffy: "More Oden?" What the heck does that even mean?!
• Chapter 986: Chiffon and Lola don't believe Pound and leave him behind while escaping the Marines, much to his shock and dismay. The expression on his face is identical to the one Chiffon and Lola had on the last cover. Poor guy can't catch a break.
  • While it's tragic Kaido put exploding handcuffs on his own son, the reaction of Yamato at the prospect, and everyone else at the resulting explosion, is hilarious:
  Big Mom: (being launched away) What the hell is going on here?!
  Yamato: (Inelegant Blubbering) It was true! Go to hell, you stupid ugly cow-gorilla bastard!!
  Kaido: Huh?
• Chapter 988:
  • Both awesome and funny, Pound really is a Determinator. He's now swimming frantically after Lola and Chiffon's ship, completely ignoring the firing of the Marines.
  • Yamato awkwardly accepting the mission to protect Momonosuke, affirming that he has to do it because "he's my son". Even Luffy is getting tired of the "I'm Oden" schtick.
  • Franky and Brook's entrance involves cutting Zeus in half (again) and driving a motorcycle over Big Mom's face. Doubles as Awesome.
  • In the anime the pair take it even further by singing a song together as they charge Big Mom
    • And Nami, of all people, calling Franky "Big Bro" for saving her from Big Mom's wrath afterwards.
• Chapter 989:
  • Yamato introduces himself as Oden to Momonosuke and Shinobu. The two freak out and run away, with Shinobu using a Smoke Bomb.
    • Even funnier, Luffy tries to tell them "this person" (the pronoun he uses in Japanese) is on their side, but Yamato introduces himself as the long-dead Oden. As far as Shinobu and Momonosuke are concerned, this crazy, blushing, horned person is suddenly running to them, so their Smoke Out is the smartest thing they could do.
• Chapter 990:
  • More Ulti and Page One antics. After calling off the search for Yamato, Ulti demands another piggy-back ride and the two start arguing. King says "Shut up you brats", and both angrily ask "Who are you calling brats?!" Seems even the mature Page One has his limits.
• Chapter 991:
  • While the other Straw Hats are justifiably suspicious of Drake suddenly saying he is their ally, Luffy accepts his statement and tells the others that its okay.
    Luffy: Sure, he can be on our side.
    Zoro, Jimbei, and Franky: NO, HE CAN'T!!!
    Franky: SHUT UP, CAPTAIN!! YOU MORON!!
  • Usopp blasts Page One with some Skull Exploding Grass, then hides behind Nami shouting threats. She gives him a Dope Slap, but acknowledges that the battle has started and to Bring It...whereupon she immediately turns and bolts from the vengeful Page One and Ulti.
  • Haccha sobers up, and it looks like he's about to start fighting for real...then he notices the General Franky and excitedly chases after it. Seems like even Giants think mechs are cool.
    Franky: You think General Franky's a toy?! I'll make you regret ever feeling that way!
• Chapter 992:
  • While everyone is fighting, what is Black Maria doing? Singing without even bothering to help her own people.
• Chapter 993:
  • Luffy and Sanji meet Briscola, a Headliner with the weirdest SMILE power yet; he has a full-grown gorilla where his left hand should be.
    Sanji: WHY IS THE GORILLA GROWING OUT OF THERE!?
    Briscola: Oh, you're a couple of wise guys, huh?! Then why don't you tell me how a gorilla...is supposed to grow!?
    Sanji: How should I know!?
• Chapter 994:
  • We're introduced to two more Headliners: Hamlet and Fourtricks. Hamlet ate a Giraffe SMILE Fruit that makes an entire giraffe body (minus the head) grow out of his back. He's seen suspended from the giraffe neck. Fourtricks ate a Chicken SMILE Fruit that surrounds his entire body with a giant chicken, and his face sticks out of the chicken's butt. The best part is that, despite proclaiming how awesome they are, Jimbe, Luffy and Sanji kick their butts very easily.
• Chapter 995:
  • Brook once again offended that something that affects humans doesn't affect him. In this case, the ice oni plague.
  • A blink-and-you-miss-it moment but in the background of a panel you can spot a SMILE user that's like Fourtricks but with a panda instead of a chicken.
• Chapter 998:
  • Sanji is under the clutches of Black Maria and her minions. They all have spider transformations of some kind and most of them look all ugly as heck. Even so, Sanji can't help but enjoy the situation as he tries (or not) to escape:
    Sanji: I must go, there is somewhere I need to be!! ...But still...Everywhere I look there are...Women! Women!! And more women!! Is this heaven?!
• Chapter 999:
  • The reveal that Kaido ate a Fish-Fish Fruit, amidst years of speculation and theories about the nature of his powers. Oda basically pulled one over on the readers hard.
• Chapter 1000:
  • How does Marco get Zoro to the top while fighting King and Queen?
  Marco: Get ready! On "three"!
  Zoro: What?!
  Marco: THREE! [Marco tosses Zoro though the hole on the roof]
  Zoro: I wasn't ready! Aaaahhhh!
• Chapter 1001:
  • As usual, Luffy, Law, and Kid have a difficult time working together. At one point, they get lost in their argument so vehemently that they forget all about the fire Big Mom just launched at them! The faces◊ they pull at the end of it really make this scene.
  Zoro: WHY DID YOU ALL JUST STAND THERE?!
  • The reason why they're bickering is because Law was furious with Luffy for basically making it seem like he commanded him to send Kin'emon and his friends to safety, even though he claimed he was going to from the beginning. Luffy figures it doesn't matter, while Kid is taking it as a chance to rib them.
  Law: Those samurai, I was going to teleport them to safety anyway before you said a damn word to me! But, you just had to bark orders...! Did you know how that made me look?! Taking orders from you like a damn subordinate?!
  Luffy: Huh?! Why would anyone care about that?
  Kid: [laughs] You're moving up in the world, Straw Hat! Got an ex-warlord as an underling!
  Luffy: I don't get it. "Underling"?
  Kid: That's the idea, right [Law]? You followed Straw Hat's orders to show your loyalty to him?
  Law: [gets pissed] OF COURSE NOT!
  Kid: Just a loser with a loser underling! You two were made for each other!
  [Luffy and Law both get offended by Kid's comment]
  Luffy: You're the loser, you big, stupid jerk!
  Kid: [Gets offended by Luffy's comment] Was that directed at me?!
  Law: I don't see anyone else here!
  Kid: Oh yeah?! You wanna say that again, punk?!
  Luffy: You're a loser! Loser-loser-loser!
  [...]
  Kid: Stop screaming so much! Are you a damn monkey?!
  Luffy: You haven't done a single thing since you got here, so shut up, Jaggy!
  Law: I'm not a loser! Take that back!
  • Also, they did notice Big Mom's fireballs. The problem is that, in order to settle the argument, Luffy decides that they should just face the fireballs head-on in a game of Chicken; whoever flinches first is the loser. Both Kid and Law exclaim that it's an incredibly stupid idea...and then Luffy calmy replies that refusing to play is an automatic loss. Both Kid and Law immediately decide to accept Luffy's Chicken challenge.
  Luffy: 'Kay, here's the deal: The first person who dodges her attack loses!
  Law: Who would agree to that crap?!
  Kid: You're a grown-ass man and you're still pulling this nonsense?! Go ahead and die! You don't have what it takes to make it with real pirates!
  Luffy: Fine, then! You're losers and I win!
  [Law and Kid both get shocked by that and change their minds]
  Kid: Whatever... Suit yourself.
  Law: I'm not playing!
  Kid: But, if you're not playing, then why are you still standing here?
  Luffy: Yeah, you wusses, just go!
  Law: [groans in annoyance]
  • Zoro recognizes Killer as Kamazo from his distinctive laugh and takes a moment to jab at him by reminding him of their previous encounter.
• Chapter 1002:
  • Big Mom strikes Luffy point blank with Zeus, and is left enraged and flabbergasted when Luffy emerges unscathed and demands to know why. When Luffy states, deadpan, that he's made of rubber and thus immune even to Zeus' electricity, and Big Mom is left making the exact same Oh, Crap! face as Eneru 800 chapters earlier. Just look!◊
• Chapter 1005:
  • After acting as Black Maria's punching bag for a few moments, Sanji begs for Robin to save him, which gets broadcasted all over Onigashima. Even Black Maria didn't expect him to cave in so quickly.
    • While others are wondering why he's doing this, Nami and Usopp conclude that it's probably because he's fighting a woman.
  • When Black Maria tells Sanji that she'll make him one of her pets, Sanji rejects this. Not because he doesn't want to be enslaved, but because he loves all women, and can't limit his love to just one.
    "No, I love them all!! All the ladies in the world!!"
  • Brook takes one look at Black Maria's Gifter henchwomen and has one reaction;
    Brook: YOU'RE SCARY!
    Gifters: OH, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!
  • Robin knows Sanji didn't shame himself and put her at risk against Black Maria out of cowardice, but simply because he trusts her to handily win the fight. She thanks him with a wink and the guy freezes mid-run, slipping and crashing on the distance thanks to Brook's ice powers freezing the floor as well.
  • Yamato, Momonosuke, and Shinobu have been found by the Beast Pirates. In order to prevent a repeat of Kanjuro's stunt of Momo getting abducted mid-fight, there's only one solution on hand before the pirates break down the door: hide Momo inside Yamato's clothes as they fight their way out.
  • Jack is back to the battlefield, but after being trounced by Sulong Dogstorm and Cat Viper he lost a good chunk of one of his tusks. This chunk is now kept on its place by duct tape.
• Chapter 1007:
  • Chopper successfully synthesising and administering a counter to the virus is a triumphant and awesome moment that gets the recognition it deserves from friend and foe alike...except for one tiny detail:
    Monster Point Chopper: I'M NOT A TANUKI!
    (Cue pretty much everyone else guiltily holding a hand over their mouth)
    Everyone: [Thinking] Oops, I'm sorry!
  • Chopper says this while attacking Queen, making it look like he's bitch-slapping the billion-berry pirate.
  • The cutesy face on the mushroom cloud created when the counter to the virus is administered is worth a laugh as well.
• Chapter 1010:
  • When Kaido says Zoro may have Conqueror's Haki, Zoro himself has no idea what Kaido's talking about.
• Chapter 1012:
  • Law dumps the heavily injured Zoro on Sanji so he can go off to find Big Mom, which results in Sanji carrying Zoro wrapped in a bandage cocoon over his shoulders. And Zoro keeps falling asleep, to boot!
    Zoro: If you wanna help, go to the performance floor...zzz...
    Sanji: Don't give orders and then fall asleep!!
  • Before taking off after Big Mom, Law spends a few moments perched on Sanji's other shoulder, legs crossed primly and posture perfect as he explains Zoro's condition and what Sanji needs to do with him. And he does this with a totally straight face while Sanji screams about how he only likes catching pretty girls, not stupid men like Law and Zoro.
  • Meanwhile, Nami tries to encourage Big Mom and Ulti to fight each other, but they haven't forgotten their mutual enemy.
    Nami: It's her, Olin! She's the one who did the thing that made you sad! (Whatever it was...)
    Big Mom: Pipe down, Straw Hats!! You're next after I'm done with her!!
    Nami & Usopp: GYAAAAA!!
    Nami: U-Ultiii! Get her, girl!! C'mon, let's take out Big Mom together!!
    Ulti: Pipe down!! After that old hag, you'll be next!!
    Nami & Usopp: GYAAAA!!
• Chapter 1013:
  • Pulling off their Combination Attack against Ulti, Big Mom's homies Prometheus, Napoleon, and Hera^*A new thunderhead homie Big Mom created to replace Zeus celebrate for a bit. This leads to a conversation between the three that amounts to the former two simping over the latter:
    Prometheus: Wow, we make a really great team, huh?! We could never have done that attack with stupid Zeus!
    Napoleon: No, it's because you were so in tune with me. Right, Hera?!
    Hera: Don't get full of yourselves, silly little boys.♥ I was only obeying Mama.
    Prometheus: You know, you're here because I asked Mama for a girlfriend, sooo...
    Hera: No.♥
    Prometheus: Aww!!
  • After attacking Ulti as mentioned above for hitting Tama, Big Mom proceeds to ruin that gesture by trying to kill both Nami and Usopp, as well as having Hera consume Zeus right in front of everyone. Tama finally sees how horrible her new friend "Olinlin" truly is and tries to run away from her along with Nami and Usopp. Not having any of it, Big Mom's Insane Troll Logic kicks in:
    Big Mom: Otama!♥ Why are you running away from me...?! I hate it when people leave me!!! IT MEANS I HAVE TO KILL THEM!!!
    Tama, Nami, and Usopp: EYAAAAA!!!
    • Big Mom's overall hypocrisy is something to behold. Not only was she going to flatout kill Tama for running away from her (worse than just hitting her like Ulti did), she originally pulled Tama to "safety" away from Nami and Usopp, saying that as a part of the Straw Hat crew, they're "a bunch of wicked pirates". So much for that "code of honor" she mentioned back in Chapter 1011.
  • On the topic of Zeus, he has a Tear Jerker moment where he states to Nami that he's now alone, because she nor Big Mom want him around anymore. During his speech, he tells Nami that since he's going to die, he might as well go out by making it up to her, showcasing Character Development for overcoming his cowardice against Big Mom. He then swells up to release what would seem to be a huge lightning explosion. For such a tense and dramatic scene, we get a Mood Whiplash on the next page as Big Mom simply grabs Zeus, cancelling his attack in a casual manner:
    Zeus: Oh...already out of energy...
    Nami, Usopp, and Tama (having Wild Takes): WHAAAT?!!
  • Kid pulls off a Big Damn Heroes moment by saving Nami, Usopp, and Tama from Big Mom. Being the jerk that he is, Kid coldly tells Nami and Usopp "Get lost, Straw Hats! She's mine!!", but both of them are just so happy that they were saved, calling out his name and crying tears of joy. Clearly, they're more than willing to leave this battle to him.
• Chapter 1015:
  • When running through some Gifters, Sanji fights them off by swinging Zoro like a sword.
  • In a Call-Back to Zou, Sanji states that once Zoro is healed, he'll be like ten men. Only for Zoro to retort "Two-Thousand!"
  • Zeus is back, as Nami's Clima-Tact.
  • Law telling Kid that, after all his time with the Straw Hats, he learned that nothing is impossible.
• Chapter 1016: Zeus, reborn in Nami's Clima-Tact, tells her to give him a new name for his new existence. She calls him Fluff, which he instantly rejects, declaring that he's "the mighty Zeus, right arm of Nami". For extra hilarity, the anime version adds a Beat and Nami making an adorable cat smile.
• Chapter 1017: Beforehand, the side-effect of Chopper's Monster Point is that he couldn't move for a while. Now with his greatly improved formula, the side-effect is the very merch friendly "Baby Geezer Chopper". He's absolutely tiny (fitting in the palms of Tristian's hands) but he speaks like an old man.
• Chapter 1019:
  • The Heart Pirates, having retrieved Luffy from the sea with their submarine earlier, are panicking over how to revive him after draining the water from him — only for the Straw Hat captain to suddenly howl for meat. Yep, Luffy's fine.
  • Sasaki reveals he can spin his frills like a helicopter and allow him to fly. Franky is stunned that dinosaurs can do that (they can't).
  • Later, when Franky takes out his shield as he can see Sasaki start to charge him, Sasaki accidentally goes backwards. Franky figures out he did it accidentally, but Sasaki declares "Runway space acquired", and Franky calls out his lie.
• Chapter 1020:
  • That Wanyudo in Black Maria's staff isn't a youkai, it's another Gifter! This poor schmoe got stuck with a pug's body and a human head, and powers the flames caused by the staff by running on the wheel.
• Chapter 1022:
  • Fukurokuju (The leader of Orochi's ninja) has a ninja technique that involves hitting people with his long earlobes. He even manages to smack Raizou once!
    Fukurokuju: Ninpo: Earlobe Crackers!!!
• Chapter 1025:
  • Momo may have become a full-grown dragon, but he's still afraid of heights! To the point that even standing upright in his new form is unbearable. Which becomes a problem when Luffy needs him to fly to Onigashima — cue Momo flying through the castle walls with his eyes shut, yelling at Luffy for directions all the while. Needless to say, everyone else in the castle, including Big Mom, are left demanding to know what the hell is going on. Even after the scene changes to Yamato having returned to human form and looking badass, we can see Momo flying in the background, still screaming.
• Chapter 1028:
  • Queen's shows "the true power of a brachiosaur" by launching his head, neck, and tail from his body, wrapping around Sanji like a snake. Even the others question how that could possibly work.
  • Queen then explains he installed "Brachio Launchers" into his legs which will fire the moment he mentions them, and promptly gets shot by said guns. When he tries to insist he was only explaining them, he accidentally names them again, resulting in getting shot again.
    Queen: I've equipped my useless torso with powerful weapons! My genius sees a problem in nature and improves upon it! They're voice-activated; all I gotta do is call their name, and they'll fire on you! They're called "Brachio Launchers"!
    [One of the launchers fires on command and hits Queen's neck body, causing a stunned expression on the on-lookers]
    Beast Pirates: They fired?! But why?!
    Queen: I was just... saying the name... conversationally... Stupid torso! You're only supposed to fire when I yell it like a cool technique! Brachio Launchers!
    [The second launcher fires on command and hits Queen's neck body again, causing him to lose his grip on Sanji and fall onto the ground]
    Beast Pirates: Master Queen, no!
    Queen: At least I know the blasters are effective...
• Chapter 1030:
  • Remember when Law chopped off Kin'emon's lower half in Punk Hazard? Turns out they never properly reattached him, and that's how Kin'emon managed to barely survive being skewered. Nami and Usopp spot his legs running around, and learn of what's happened from his ability to literally talk out of his ass!
• Chapter 1032:
  • Zoro vs King gives us another look into Oda's whacked-out idea of dinosaur biology. King, in Pteranodon form, pulls back on his head like it's rubber, so the recoil will fire a blast. According to King, this is how Pteranodons hunted back in ancient times. Zoro then wonders if the flames on King's back are Pteranodon powers.
  King: It's not.
  Zoro: IT'S NOT!?
  • That this line is coming out of KING of all people further adds to the silliness; people are not likely to bat an eye when it's comedic threat Queen that says nonsense like that, but totally serious, no nonsense badass King, on the other hand...
  • The face King makes as he pulls his head back is also utterly ridiculous.
• Chapter 1039:
  • Law and Kid are starting to make headway against Big Mom and land a devastating blow. What do they do afterward? Bicker! Law's noticed Kid's habit of following up on his attacks with his own moves, effectively stealing credit, and is not happy about it.
• Chapter 1042: As it turns out, Kaido's still plastered, even as Snakeman Luffy is pummeling him:
  Kaido: Just staaahp♥
  Luffy: Are you still drunk!?
• Chapter 1044:
  • Luffy awakened to his Fruit's true power, and let's say it's not so much rubber as it is rubberhose. The Five Elders claim that it is the most ridiculous power in the world, and it shows. As soon as Luffy awakens, he grabs Kaido and swings him around like he's Popeye. When Kaido replies with a Bolo Breath, Luffy makes a distinctly cartoonish Eye Pop before turning the ground into rubber and bouncing it back at him. All while laughing his heart out.
  • When Luffy was tossing and spinning him around, Kaido himself has several cases of Eye Pop.
  • The anime adds to this by not only keeping the cartoony visual effects, but sound effects right out of an old cartoon.
  • When Luffy alters the terrain to bounce Kaido's Breath Weapon back at him, the dub gives the dragon one simple response that fits the tone of the scene.
    Kaido: Mommy...
• Chapter 1045:
  • Of course Luffy would use his Awakening power to turn the summit of Onigashima into a trampoline...
  • More hilarity from Luffy vs. Kaido: When Kaido decides to eat Luffy, he retaliates by ricocheting around Kaido's stomach before inflating to give Kaido a massive belly, causing Kaido to start floating out of his control. Momonosuke and Yamato watch this happen, with Yamato even asking if this is one of Kaido's forms.
  Kaido: Curses!! What's wrong with me?! My body isn't made of rubber!!
  • Doubles as Nightmare Fuel, but how does Luffy get out of Kaido? By sticking his hands THROUGH his eyes, grabbing his nose, and rocketing out of his mouth.
  • Kaido bites Luffy as a giant, and how does he respond? By turning the giant eastern dragon into a JUMP ROPE. Even if it did no damage to him physically, Kaido's dignity has been shattered completely.
  • Everyone has an Eye Pop when they finally see Luffy's Gear Five for the first time. Including Kid and Law.
  • In the anime, Tama is scared because of the fight between Kaido and Luffy. Nami assures her that the next one to come down won't be Kaido. Indeed it's Luffy, because Kaido hit him all the way there.
  • Kaido lampshading how Luffy looks and fights like he's from a comic strip. Which implies that Kaido used to read said strips.
  • Kaido says Luffy's at his limit, which he vehemently denies. Gear Five then immediately wears out, causing Luffy's face to turn wrinkly and saggy, as if he's an old man.
  Luffy: Ah'm all tuckered out.
  Kaido: WHO ARE YOU?!!
• Chapter 1046:
  • Luffy asking himself (sub) or Kaido (dub) what he should call one of his new techniques while bouncing on a rock like a trampoline.
• Chapter 1049:
  • We finally discover how the Marines managed to actually "capture" someone like Kaido, and why he sunk so many of their prison ships. Whenever he got hungry, he just let himself be captured, and broke out when he got his fill.
  • Not to mention the name of his birthplace: the Vodka Kingdom. Poor man never had a chance.
• Chapter 1051:
  • The Straw Hats' reaction at Yamato wanting to join the crew. Sanji and Brook have their usual reaction at seeing a pretty woman, Robin finds him funny, and Jimbei just says that it's on Luffy to accept him as a member, knowing that if he accepts him, the opinion of the rest is not going to matter.
  • When Momonosuke runs out of things to say during his speech, he discreetly asks Kin'emon for help. He advises him to "fake it 'til he makes it", which is more or less what Kin'emon himself has been doing for the entire arc.
• Chapter 1052:
  • How does Hiyori inform her brother that Luffy and Zoro are awake? By performing one of her famous flying kicks on him.
  • Momonosuke tries his usual schtick of burying himself in Nami's bosom when he's bullied, except he's physically a grown man now, which results in Nami giving him the same treatment as Sanji. Sanji and Brook's smug reactions only make it better as they mock how Momo can't get special treatment anymore. Made even funnier by the fact that they've likely wanted to do that since Punk Hazard.
  • The fact that Luffy uses Nami's punches to determinate how strong a person is.
  • Yamato putting a plate on Momonosuke's head to make him look like if he's got Oden's haircut. If Momo's annoyed reaction is any indication, Yamato has been doing this for a while.
  • When the crew and their friends split into to take baths, Yamato ends up bathing with the guys. Sanji's reaction is as expected.
  • Before the group goes to the baths, Zoro noted he seems more clean than the others. Hiyori then revealed she was the one who clean up him, while acting as if she's his girlfriend. Sanji's reaction was predictable.
  • Speaking of Sanji, Zoro remembers his previous request to kill him if he should lose his humanity and immediately starts attacking him, much to Sanji's annoyance.
    Zoro: Oh yeah... I MUST'VE RETURNED FROM HELL TO FULFILL MY PROMISE TO KILL YOU!!
    Sanji: I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP WITH THAT ANYMORE!
  • In the anime version of the baths, Carrot is doing flips across the bath for no known reason.
  • Franky has finished repairing the Franky Shogun. Bepo, Killer and the rest of the Heart Pirates and the Kid Pirates can only stare at it in amazement.
  • Apoo confirms that the information regarding the Onigashima War has already leaked to the outside world while wondering how it could've possibly happened. Kid doesn't need to guess.
    Kid: IT WAS OBVIOUSLY YOU! YOU DAMN BASTARD!!
• Chapter 1053:
  • Realizing that Kid is off to challenge Luffy for the title of new Emperor, Killer and the rest of their crew decide to follow him to the festival so they can go celebrate his new bounty. At the end of the chapter, they're all partying and toasting their victories alongside everybody else, completely nonplussed at their captain tackling Luffy mid-toast.
  • The castle's cooks transported the party meals to the main hall... and Jimbei is the only person there. Apparently, the cooks took so long to prepare the meals that Jimbei was the only person with enough patience to wait.
  • Just as Kid is about to attack Luffy, the latter stretches his arm to grab him so that the two can have a side hug as the fireworks go off.
  • We learn who has filled Big Mom and Kaido's roles as Emperors following their defeats. Luffy is considered an official member while Shanks & Blackbeard retain their places, but the last spot is taken by Buggy of all people! Then again, Buggy did say he planned on becoming an Emperor when he was selected to join the Seven Warlords.
    • It's implied that Kid's angry mood after reading that news is because he's jealous that Luffy was made an Emperor and he wasn't, despite also taking down an Emperor (albeit with Law's help).
    • Though not to the same extent as when he was Joy Boy, it appears the awakening of his Devil Fruit has left Luffy with greater cartoon eccentricities than before, as he gets an exaggerated Eye Pop in delight upon seeing the new posters Kid brought with him.
• Chapter 1054:
  • Momo's attempt to use Kaido's Blast Breath results in a tiny puff of fire that barely gets out of his mouth.
  • The junior members of the Red Hair Pirates are surprised that the senior members of the crew have a history with Luffy, with one of them saying that Luffy's supposedly a rampaging demon monkey that acts completely out of control.
    • The crew member saying this ironically has the head of a gorilla.
• Chapter 1055:
  • Robin climbs into a crawl space in order to take a peek through a window. Law simply teleports.
    Robin: No fair...
  • While Momonosuke finally pulling off Kaido's Blast Breath to incinerate Ryokugyu is admittedly awesome, Kawamatsu comments that his aim needs more practice.
• Chapter 1056:
  • Kin'emon being the only Scabbard who never figure out that Tengu is Sukiyaki. All while he's hiding that fact to everyone.
  • Apparently, the Straw Hats said goodbye to everyone... except Momonosuke and Kinemon, for some reason.
  • Nami's Cuteness Proximity over the now kunoichi's apprentice Tama.
  • When Luffy and Kid both want to go the same route on the Log Pose, they draw lots to decide who gets it. To Luffy's dismay, Kid wins.
    Luffy: Nooo! I lost at straws! I'm sorry, everyone!!
    Usopp: (Angrily, while lugging a crate) EVERY DIRECTION IS DANGEROUS!! IT DOESN'T MATTER! JUST HELP US LOAD UP, LUFFY!!
    Luffy: I'm the Emperor, I should be the best at drawing lots!
  • While it's equally Awesome for how bold it was, Buggy's way of becoming Emperor by flipping the world order on its head by issuing bounties on Marines is also kind of funny, both because of the sheer audacity in doing such a thing, as well as being what amounts to a giant middle finger and a "No, You" response to the World Government for abolishing the Warlord system.
  • Luffy is baffled by the notion of Buggy not only being an Emperor, but also recruiting Mihawk and Crocodile to his side, literally saying "You know he's an idiot, right?" to Law, while wondering how the hell Buggy was able to recruit both former Warlords. Zoro, who knows Mihawk better than anyone, is especially shocked.
• Chapter 1057:
  • As Momo is carrying Kin'emon and Yamato to where the Straw Hats are departing from, Kin'emon briefly asks his Shogun why they are not flying. Momo just yells at him to be silent. Even after all he's been through, he is still scared of heights.
  • Law is trying to break off his alliance with the Straw Hats with... mixed success.
    Law: If we ever run into each other again out there... we're total enemies. If people die, so be it.
    Luffy: Yeah, totally.
    Chopper: See ya later, Traffy!
    Law: Shut up.
    Chopper: Aww!
  • As the Straw Hats depart, Momonosuke promises Kin'emon that he will surpass "Kozuki Oden." Yamato, watching with the two, asks, "Me?" Momonosuke and Kin'emon furiously correct him.
  • On their way out, the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates decide to leave Wano through Mogura Port (the one used by Kaido and his people) instead of going down the waterfall. Eustass Kid mocks them for this, deriding them as wusses for wanting to take the safe and secure route. Enraged, both Luffy and Law take the helms of their ships, much to the horror of their crews. What's more, while the Straw Hats are used to Luffy throwing them into danger on a whim, it's implied that this is the first time the Heart Pirates have seen Law act this way.
    • In the anime, Brook, Chopper, Nami and Usopp's keep a blank face when Kid is mocking Law and Luffy. They knew from the start what's going to happen next.
  • Also, just like the Going Merry before it when the Straw Hats were leaving Skypiea, the Thousand Sunny is seen having a hilarious Oh, Crap! expression when it goes over the waterfall.

Egghead Arc

• Chapter 1058:
  • We get the aftermath of the Straw Hats' exit from last chapter: Luffy beaten to a pulp and locked in a birdcage by Nami as she yells at him. The fact that the cage is sized for Luffy implies the crew had somebody at Wano make it knowing something like this would happen.
  • When Jimbei says that since the ship survived the landing everything is fine, Nami snaps at him not to coddle Luffy. Jimbei is taken aback and thinks she has Conqueror's Haki, while Usopp warns him to never anger Nami.
    • Never mind that Jimbei's reaction to Nami's "Haki" means he's more intimidated by her than he was by Big Mom (I.E: Not at all).
  • So how did Buggy become an Emperor? Firstly Crocodile arrived and sank all of the Navy ships surrounding his island since, as it turns out, Buggy owes a lot of money to him as he borrowed the money in order to start up Buggy's Delivery Service. Since his "burgeoning" company is in the red due to lacking the funds necessary to support his massive crew (which their excessive partying likely didn't help with, coupled with Hajrudin and the rest of the giants quitting after Dressrosa), he cedes control of his company to Crocodile for free. Later on his overzealous subordinates put his picture front and center on the Cross Guild's poster because they thought it looked the coolest, and they send the posters out without telling Buggy first, meaning there was no way for him to stop it. Because the World Government mistook him as the mastermind of the group, and mistakingly believed he had won over the loyalty of Crocodile and Mihawk, he was promoted to his current Emperor status. Crocodile and Mihawk are not happy that they've been painted as Buggy's subordinates, with Mihawk noting that even if Buggy were to die it would still not be enough to make up for the insult to their pride. They only let him live because his Emperor status paints a target on him rather than them, though the option of killing him remains on the table should it ever become necessary. Buggy becoming an Emperor wasn't yet another lucky break for the clown, it was his luck running out!
    Some mook: Look, Chairman Buggy's crying!♥
    Buggy: (standing between Mihawk and Crocodile as he's forced to pretend he's in charge of events) Where is my life taking me?!
    Other mook: Me too! It's the best day of my life!!
  • The sheer fact that Crocodile is angrier about Buggy swindling him than he was about Luffy thwarting his plan to conquer Alabasta (and eventually the world once he'd found Pluton).
  • Mihawk's declaration that Buggy being bullied by his "subordinates" and begging forgiveness is unfit of an Emperor, not knowing Luffy is in a similar predicament. Even funnier because Blackbeard isn't really that dignified either under threat of violence it really sells how times are changing.
  • Galdino greets Crocodile and says it's nostalgic to work under him again in a sheepish way, but openly laughs at Buggy feeling betrayed and claims he never considered himself an official Buggy Pirates member. Nearby, Alvida and the others casually have tea and agree to switch sides to Crocodile as well, with Daz Bonez glancing from a distance like he disapproves of their lack of loyalty.
  • With another story arc down comes another increase in bounties, and the reactions of varying degrees of silly therein:
    • Chopper went up from $100! ...to $1,000. Despite being recognized as a commanding officer of an Emperor's crew, the Navy still thinks the poor guy's just the Team Pet. He's not happy.
    • Nami's bounty went up by 300 Million, and instead of being upset that she is now even more of a target, she's so money-struck by the amount that she wonders if she can collect.
    • Usopp, conversely, is up to an even $500 Million and is begging to whatever god is listening to stop it from going any higher.
    • Franky's bounty is $394 Million... except the poster has a mugshot of the figurehead of the Straw Hat's ship instead of him.
    • Sanji with his $1,032,000,000 is literally Burning with Anger at not only being upstaged by Zoro yet again with $1,111,000,000, but now also Jimbei with $1,100,000,000 even. In a Call-Back to the Return to Sabaody arc, Zoro wastes no time ribbing him for it.
      Zoro: Just leave Number Four to his sour grapes.
      Sanji: WHO ARE YOU CALLING "NUMBER FOUR"?!
      Zoro: MIND YOUR TONE AROUND THIS CREW'S 2ND!
    • In the anime, Sanji's picture on his wanted poster inexplicably turned back into the Duval drawing, which caught many viewers off-guard. Even more oddly, Sanji just shrugs it off.
    • There's just something sadly hilarious about us being reminded of Luffy's $3 Billion bounty and Emperor status while he's stuck in the cage begging for food.
    • Buggy's Emperor bounty at $3.189 Billion is lower than his "subordinate" Mihawk at $3.590 Billion. At least someone in the Navy has their threat assessment straight...assuming this doesn't get 'corrected' down the line.
• Chapter 1059:
  • Shanks once again offers to let Marco join his crew, but Marco refuses on the grounds that he's too old and tired to play babysitter to Shanks. Not even Beckman is able to disagree with Marco.
  • When Yamato explains his intention to stay in Wano to make sure it can defend itself from people like Ryokugyu, Sanji is seen crying in the background.
  • Following the siege on Amazon Lily, Hancock determines that the island will no longer be safe as long as she decides to stay there. Her solution? Marry Luffy, of course. Elder Nyon angrily points out that she's always thinking that.
    • It's funnier when you realize that Hancock's plan could work. Despite Hancock's epithet of "Pirate Empress", she did not have the same threat level as an Emperor of the Sea, thus had to rely on her being a Shichibukai to ensure Amazon Lily's safety. By marrying Luffy, who is currently an Emperor and thus can claim territories under his protection, Hancock can ensure the safety of her home by virtue of being an Emperor's wife (also with the added bonus of solidifying the "Empress" part of her epithet).
• Chapter 1060:
  • In a Call-Back to the end of Alabasta Arc, when Zoro tells the Straw Hats not to worry about the MIA Vivi (Reasoning that she can take care of herself), Luffy, Nami, Sanji and Chopper begin insulting him.
    • The insults included calling him "Green Kaido" and "Green Mom". The best part? Zoro only take offense at Sanji's usual "Marimo". Both can be seen fighting in the background for a while.
      Luffy: You're an Oni! No, an Onigashima!
      Nami: You're a Green Kaido!
      Chopper: A Green Mom!
      Sanji: Shitty Marimo!
      Zoro: Shut it, Number Four!
  • When the Thousand Sunny is sailing through a particularly fierce storm, Chopper goes out on deck wearing a straw hat Tama made him. Except, the hat catches the wind, sending little Chopper flying into the air! Luffy tries to catch him, and gets pulled into the air with him!
• Chapter 1061:
  • Much like Law before her, Jewelry Bonney is shocked seeing Luffy's shenanigans.
    Bonney: This guy is a Emperor?
  • And as usual, Luffy immediately gets her name wrong, and calls her "Boggy".
• Chapter 1062:
  • In spite of being generally much more sensible than Luffy, Bonney turns out to be just as food obsessed as him, blindly diving into a giant parfait alongside him and Chopper in spite of Jimbei pointing out the suspiciousness, and getting heart eyes when she finally finds real food.
  • The giant parfait turning out to be a hologram angers Luffy so much, he almost enters Gear 5.
  • Luffy's first instinct when he sees Atlas is to punch her, mistaking her for another hologram. An annoyed Atlas punches him right back.
  • Franky acting like a complete fanboy over Vegapunk.
  • When Kaku explains to Lucci how the multiple Vegapunks work, the latter is left utterly baffled, questioning how he's the weird one for questioning how nonsensical it sounds.
• Chapter 1063:
  • After gorging themselves on the food machine's products, Luffy, Chopper, and Bonney are immensely bloated.
    • This makes Atlas comment on how everyone has become huge, only for Jimbei to retort that he's always been that size.
  • Atlas flies away to do her job, which is to punch holograms, apparently.
  • While the rest of the quartet get sci-fi clothes, Jimbei settles for an aloha shirt.
  • When the Blackbeard Pirates attack the Heart Pirates, Doc Q has some fun by using his Sick-Sick Fruit powers to change the gender of the members of Law's crew, including Law himself!
    Shachi: Wow, Captain! You're so cute now! ♥
    Law: Do you have a death wish?!
    Penguin: Crap!! We're sorry!!
    • Schachi and Penguin are both so distracted by how hot Law looks as a woman that they embrace, accidentally spreading Shachi's illness to Penguin as well.
    • Further more, by using Haki to reverse the powers of the Sick-Sick Fruit, Law, a holder of the Will of D., essentially willed his manhood back into existence. Then did the same to the rest of his crew.
• Chapter 1065:
  • When Nami gets fantasies about finding "future treasure" on Egghead, like flowers made of jewels, Usopp replies he can't tell whether Nami is a dreaming girl or a greedy old hag. This earns him a "future kick" from Nami.
  • When confronted by Seraphim S-Shark, the crew start tossing out possibilities over who this young lookalike of their newest cremate could be, with one of them being that Jinbei got de-aged into a child... which, unbeknownst to them, actually did happen thanks to Bonnie's Devil fruit powers being used to evade a security guard Pacifista's detection.
  • The Straw Hats meeting several people claiming to be Dr. Vegapunk leaves Usopp confused and starting to wonder if he's Vegapunk too, to Franky's annoyance.
• Chapter 1066:
  • Usopp's reaction to learning that the World Government will eliminate anyone who learns of the ancient kingdom is to cover his ears and smash his head into the ground.
    Usopp: Come on, brain! Forget! You didn't hear anything!
  • After being built up over 16 years of serialization, we finally get to see Dr. Vegapunk. And he turns out to be a silly, hyperactive old man who's had part of his brain cut out.
• Chapter 1067:
  • It turns out that Vegapunk's odd character design, even by the standards of One Piece, is because he ate the Brain-Brain fruit, which enables him to store any amount of knowledge he gets without limitation, but the the side-effect of his brain literally growing to accommodate said knowledge. The last time Bonney saw it, it was the shape of a hot-air balloon.
    • The Japanese name for the Devil Fruit is the Nomi Nomi no Mi, so Vegapunk ends up biting his tongue saying it.
    • Vegapunk's goal seems to be sharing his scientific progress with the world by turning his brain into the internet. Jinbei immediately points out the potential downsides to the idea.
    • Upon learning that Vegapunk cut his own brain out after it became too big, Luffy asks him if he became an idiot afterwards.
    • Also, the way Vegapunk makes the whole process sound as casual as a man cutting his hair.
  • What was the reason that seemingly fine Laser Blade which Bonney found among the garbage was considered defective? It had a side effect of drawing in swarms of bugs! Poor Bonney ended up passing out in fright. And Luffy twists the knife by trying to show her a stag beetle he found.
  • Dr. Vegapunk reveals that the only reason he labeled the artificial devil fruit that Momo ate, which he made using Kaido's lineage factor, as a failure was because it turned the user into a pink dragon instead of an azure dragon like the original did.
    Jinbei: Great. He's a genius with a perfectionist streak.
• Chapter 1068:
  • Vegapunk's speech about his dream of making energy available to everyone leaves Luffy completely disinterested and picking his nose. And when it's interrupted by cannon fire, Vegapunk wraps it up by casually saying he dug a bit too deep, and now the World Government wants him dead.
  • By what merit does Luffy choose to accept Vegapunk's proposition and help him off the island? His funny head. Chopper incredulously lampshades this.
  • Stussy trolls Kaku by deliberately neglecting to tell him about Egghead's defense system, earning him a laser to the face. She also neglected to warn him about the monster being an hologram, making him unnecessarily attack it. Kaku is not amused. Lucci even calls her out for that.
• Chapter 1069:
  • The rematch between Luffy and Lucci. With Gear 5's Toon Physics, the fight looks a lot more ridiculous than it should be.
• Chapter 1070:
  • While Vegapunk explains how he artificially replicated Devil Fruit powers, he mentions that he finds Caesar's SMILE fruits an unacceptable alternative. Nami then takes a moment to, once again, state that dying would not be enough to make up for Caesar's other crimes.
  • The rematch between Luffy and Lucci still looks ridiculous:
    • Lucci exiting an Impact Silhouette he left on a wall.
    • Luffy becomes a tornado to attack Lucci... and just keeps spinning until he ends up buried in the ground.
    • After the above, Luffy enlarges his head in an attempt to chomp on Lucci.
    • Luffy popping out goggles out of nowhere.
  • S-Snake is just as much of a Tsundere as the real Hancock, acting flustered when Jimbei praises her.
    • Jimbei's praise is that S-Snake, an artificial human weapon created for the explicit purpose of hunting down and destroying pirates, is nicer than the original Hancock.
    • The anime version is even funnier with Kotono Mitsuishi pulling her inner Usagi when S-Snake get flustered.
  • As the vacuum rocket takes everyone to the Labophase, Bonney wakes up and has a Wild Take at Luffy's emaciated form.
    Bonney: Huh?! Who are you?!
  • Vegapunk explains that the World Government wants him dead because, amongst several other reasons, they are afraid that he might one day use his intellect against them (not that he ever intended to). Nami then agrees that the World Government's decision makes perfect sense while Usopp calls her out for being so cold about it.
  • Vegapunk still hasn't unbound the Straw Hats' feet from the floor. Sanji angrily asks him to do so before he even thinks of asking them to take him on the Sunny.
• Chapter 1071:
  • After failing to win his rematch with Luffy, Lucci refuses to acknowledge him as an Emperor. Talk about a Sore Loser.
  • Bonney gets even angrier at Vegapunk for "using bugs against her".
  • Zoro is less angry at Kaku for attacking the Sunny and more because he interrupted his nap.
  • Garp's complete lack of care that he's breaking protocol by preparing to launch an unauthorized attack on an emperor's base. Made even funnier considering that throughout the story, it was repeatedly stated how terrifying it is to provoke an emperor's wrath and how many steps are needed in order to fight them head-on yet Garp's reaction to fellow Vice Admiral Doll's concerns makes it look like he's doing it on a mere whim.
• Chapter 1072:
  • The look on Bonney's face as Vegapunk falls for her Wounded Gazelle Gambit.
• Chapter 1074:
  • Luffy tired himself out running for Bonney and Vegapunk, only for Shaka to tell him he knew where Bonney was all along, and Luffy ran all over the place for nothing.
  • Nami can briefly be seen taking her boot to an unconscious Rob Lucci. On top of that, after everything he and CP9 did to her in the Water 7/Enies Lobby Arc, it's Robin trying to calm her down.
  • Zoro's offer to help search for the missing Vegapunk is immediately shot down by Sanji, Chopper and Robin, on the logical grounds that they'd then have to search for him too.
    Sanji: Hold up, Mosshead!!! You?!! Searching for someone else?!! Who's going to look for you?!!
    Chopper: Yeah! You gotta stay here, Zoro!
    Robin: Be a good boy, won't you?♡
    Zoro: ...
  • As Vivi badmouths Morgans and his newspaper for writing libel on Luffy, a female journalist is gushing over her in the background.
    Chinode: Those are my clothes... I'll never wash them again!♡
• Chapter 1075:
  • Chopper is amazed that Vegapunk can grow artificial organs, but Robin thought they were Vegapunk's actual, dismembered bits.
  • Luffy and Zoro pull off Oden and Whitebeard's disgusted face from Wano when Lucci and Kaku propose a temporary truce.
  • Sanji fangirling over Stussy and asking her if he can be her pet.
• Chapter 1076:
  • Luffy buys Kaku's lie that they'll "play nice" and go back to their cuffs after the Seraphims are defeated way too easily.
  • While Kaku is trying to pull an Enemy Mine deal with Zoro and Luffy, Lucci makes comments that aren't exactly helpful to their case, much to Kaku's annoyance.
    Kaku: For the love of... Are you trying to ruin this for us?!
  • Zoro telling Luffy to stop provoking the enemies, only to be shocked that Lucci gets provoked so easily.
  • Lucci admitting that he is still sore about his defeat at the hands of Luffy by swearing to kill him first after the Seraphim are dealt with.
• Chapter 1077: The chapter is called “You Should’ve noticed sooner!”
  • Caesar and Judge stop fighting each other as they simultaneously realize that their real beef is not with each other, but with Vegapunk.
  • After Zoro offhandedly compares the Seraphim to King, Shaka confirms that they got their Lunarian Lineage Factor from him. Zoro retorts that he didn't have much to notice the similarities... other than their black wings, dark skin, white hair and ability to create fire.
    Luffy, Kaku and Lucci: YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTICED SOONER!!!
• Chapter 1078:
  • Caesar and Judge bury the hatchet and become amicable once more. The Germa 66 soldiers celebrate as Reiju and Ichiji let out a Visible Sigh and dejectedly walk away.
  • Luffy asks Kaku to watch over Zoro, due to his tendency of getting lost.
  • Once again, Kaku is being confused with Usopp, much to his annoyance.
• Chapter 1080:
  • Kujaku, Tsuru's granddaughter, is introduced by whipping buildings into submission. No, not the people inside the buildings: the buildings themselves. The whole thing is so absurd that the Blackbeard Pirates stop in their tracks to question it.
    Kujaku: Be a good boy... AND MOVE YOUR ASS!
    Blackbeard underling 1: What's with this crazy broad?
    Kujaku: No back talk! AND WIPE THAT DIRTY LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
    Blackbeard underling 2: Is she scolding the building... with a whip?!
  • As the Blackbeard Pirates prepare to shoot Koby, their guns end up firing flowers instead of bullets. One of them is briefly distracted by the flowers, even calling them beautiful, only to snap himself back into reality.
  • Garp's arrival is basically him making his ship fly, Thousand Sunny-style. Yes, that's right, a marine copied a tactic created by a pirate. Given he was present during the first time Franky used that tactic, it's pretty clear Garp thinks it was cool enough to copy it.
• Chapter 1082:
  • While Sengoku is saddened and concerned about the death of Vice-Admiral T-Bone and how the bounties on Marines will have a deterious effect on troop moral, he switches topics to ask Hina if she's seen Garp and wants to know if he's tried the new flavor of crackers. Hina bluntly tells them of Garp and SWORD's rescue mission for Koby, which they departed for days ago. This is the first Sengoku and Tsuru have heard of this, and both react in shocked manners.
  • Buggy's subordinates continue to unknowingly screw him over, by making Buggy front and center of the figurehead of the Cross Guild's new ship. Buggy gets a mortified Oh, Crap! expression as he notices Mihawk and Crocodile are very displeased with the ship.
  • Cross Guild's "meeting room" is just an Unusual Euphemism for a torture room, which is most frequently used to torture Buggy. No wonder he's terrified.
  • When Buggy goes against Mihawk and Crocodile's wishes and riles up his crew by declaring his intent to find the One Piece, the latter two are pissed. Crocodile's anger matches his Villainous Breakdown back in Alabasta and Mihawk's enraged in a way not seen before.
  • Koala's Anger Born of Worry: she goes from kicking Sabo for not letting the Revolutionaries know he was alive, to adorably hugging and clinging on to him.
  • Morley outmatches Koala in greeting Sabo, as the giant gets so emotional and decides to BODYSLAM Sabo in extreme joy. Everyone reacts appropriately and moves out the way.
• Chapter 1083:
  • Fujitora decides to call down a Meteor Strike on the Revolutionary Army Captains... only to be told the he can't do that because there's a high chance of the Celestial Dragons being injured. Considering what kind of person Fujitora is, you have to wonder if he actually cared about them being injured, considering how utterly horrible the Celestial Dragons are. To make it even funnier, there's no indication that he had tried much else before resorting to the Meteor Strike.
  • Even better, Ryokugyu is the one who has to act as the voice of reason and stop Fujitora from causing collateral damage. This despite (or possibly because of) the fact that Ryokugyu is fanatically devoted to the World Government to the point of being Ax-Crazy against literally everyone else.
• Chapter 1084:
  • While trying to kidnap Shirahoshi again isn't funny at all, it's hilarious how the fact that Charlos trying to get a mermaid slave, getting beaten for it, and not learning a friggin' shit from it, is starting to become a Running Gag.
• Chapter 1085:
  • Upon realizing that he's the only one without a D in his name, Ace christens Sabo with a D, telling him that his name is now Sa D. Bo.
  • After Wapol eats his way into the room and leaves just as quickly, CP0 is so befuddled by the whole thing that it takes them a while to realize Vivi is gone.
  • Wapol running for his life with Vivi in his mouth makes his wife think Wapol is eloping with a mistress.
• Chapter 1086: Stelly drooling over the picture of Vivi the CP0 is showing him. His wife is not amused at all.
• Chapter 1087:
  • While Garp's "punch battleships to death" training is awesome, it crosses into hilarity once a flashback reveals he's also been using the regimen as stress reliever whenever he heard the shenanigans his family members were up to, such as founding a Revolutionary movement aimed to topple the World Government.
  • It's revealed Garp vented his frustration about Luffy becoming a pirate towards his work colleagues, in this case a befuddled Kuzan, who openly questioned why Garp is screaming about it at him of all people. It's also implied Garp regularly bugged Kuzan to hang out together even as the latter's workload became a lot heavier by attaining Admiral rank, something Kuzan is clearly displeased with.
• Chapter 1089:
  • The cover shows a cow bringing Nami a corny love letter from Sanji: "The stars are so pretty tonight, just like you, Nami♡ Shall we stargaze together?" Nami's response? "Thanks, saw them already".
  • During the montage of people reacting to the freak earthquakes and sudden rising sea level following the destruction of Lulusia, we get this little gem from one of the queens of Kamabakka Queendom:
    "I was supposed to run on that beach! ♡"
  • When York contacts the Five Elders to negotiate the terms of their deal, it's revealed that the Straw Hats captured and forced her to make the call. The Five Elders and Kizaru are dumbfounded to find out they were outgambitted.
  • The panel in which the Straw Hats have York restrained has a lot of small fun bits as well. Including Vegapunk looking ready to go camping, Usopp's grin as he's holding the Transponder Snail up to York, and Bonney and Luffy eating pizza and meat respectively, seemingly only now understanding their situation.
    • The simple fact that Luffy of all people suggests using York as a human shield.
• Chapter 1090:
  • Luffy introduces himself to the Five Elders with his usual "I'm Luffy, the man who will become King of the Pirates" catchphrase.
    • He then tries to threaten the Marine fleet into clearing the coastline in exchange for York's safety, leaving the Marines to comment how he's "even worse than they thought".
    • Vivi, Wapol and Morgans are shocked that the load of crap Morgans wrote on Luffy turned into an Accidental Truth.
    • While Robin and Usopp chastise Luffy for giving the Five Elders more information than needed, Nami just facepalms and sighs, clearly wondering why they always allow Luffy to answer the call. Even better, she's usually the one hitting Luffy for this kind of shennanigans, now she seems to have learned to just roll with that.
  • Kaku fumes out loud about how he should've been able to handle the Seraphim with less difficulty. Lucci just tells him to shut up and rest.
  • Lilith mourns for Shaka, Pythagoras and Edison... except Edison, who's being cradled in her arms, tells her that he's not dead yet.
  • Luffy and Usopp's expression when Vegapunk tells them that Elbaf is near Egghead.
  • The reason why Franky and the others got depetrified? Luffy just asked S-Snake (confusing her with Hancock) to do it. Turns out, Hancock is so in love with Luffy that it's encoded in her DNA to the point S-Snake inherited it, to Vegapunk's shock and Jimbei's amusement.
    • Remember when Hancock misinterpreted Luffy's "Thank you" (Arigatou) for "I love you" (Aishiteru) back in Impel Down? We have the S-Snake remake.
• Chapter 1092:
  • In a dark kind of way, one of the World Nobles complains that because of the food shortage, he ordered lobster and it never arrived. Nevermind that Kuma leveled the same place he's standing on, less than five minutes before.
    • Akainu's immediate reaction is to not only silently question the Celestial Dragon's priorities, but also ignore him completely.
  • As Luffy bursts out of a wall in Gear 5, Nami, Usopp, Atlas and Vegapunk all have a cartoonish Eye Pop.
• Chapter 1096:
  • The fact that, if not for Big Mom stealing it, we would've had Ivankov with Kaido's devil fruit. Just imagine Ivankov's shenanigans in Kaido's dragon/hybrid form.
  • Garp has zero interest in responding to the distress call coming from God Valley, saying it was their fault for provoking the pirates. Even Rocks's crew being among the crews attacking doesn't phase him. But the moment he hears Roger is also there, he comes charging in. It's almost like a schoolgirl hearing her crush would be at a party.
• Chapter 1098:
  • Three children torment Bonney, calling her a vampire for being weak to sunlight, with one even brandishing a cross at her. With a drop-kick to his face, Bonney points out she lives in a church.
  • Bonney Flipping the Bird and giving the kids the bras d'honneur at the same time. At age five.
• Chapter 1099:
  • People mistaking Queen Dowager Connie for an aged-up Bonney multiple times after Bonney first gains her devil fruit powers and tries to turn herself into an old woman.
  • Kuma's reaction to Bonney's new powers as well; First, he flat out faints at seeing Bonney go from teenager to child (Given her resemblance to Ginny), then he also mistakes Connie for aged-up Bonney. Twice!
  • When Vegapunk remarks with amazement at Kuma's large appearance in their first meeting, Kuma claps back at him that he was thinking the exact same thing as well while his daughter Bonney comments that the scientist's huge head creeps her out.
• Chapter 1100:
  • Kuma used the cute doodle made by Bonney as the Jolly Roger of his ship. Imagine how the enemies of the dreaded Tyrant react when they see his Jolly Roger before their Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Kuma, Bonney, Vegapunk, Sentoumaru and Kizaru doing the Nika dance.
• Chapter 1101:
  • Bonney's escape by posing as Connie has one funny bit when Alpha gets suspicious:
    Connie: It's me. I'm Bonney.
    Alpha: DON'T LIE TO ME!!!
  • While it's awesome that Bonney defeated Alpha with one punch with her Age-Age Fruit's Distortion Future, it is also hilarious that Beauty Is Never Tarnished is averted for the female Cipher Pol agent.
• Chapter 1102:
  • Bonney can barely uphold the pretense of being a ruthless pirate.
    Bonney: These are the ironclad rules of piratey behavior! Steal whatever you want! (From bad guys.) Don't help other people! (Unless they need it.)
  • We finally find out why Bonney draws a small kiss on her mouth, instead of just putting the lipstick on her lips. She wants to appear as an adult woman and made the mistake of asking Gyogyo directions on how to apply lipstick.
  • When Kuma looks on the chaos at the Auction House caused by Luffy punching St. Charlos, we get a shot of Usopp accidentally falling onto St. Roswald.
• Chapter 1103:
  • While Saturn was monologuing to Bonney he sees Luffy eating a large amount food to regain his strength and questions who gave him food and demands the Navy soldiers to cuff him immediately.
• Chapter 1107:
  • When Bonney calls Luffy "Nika", he has no idea what she's talking about.
  • Luffy only notices that Vegapunk, who's lying down in front of him, has been critically injured when Bonney points it out.
  • Sanji saves Bonney, Franky, and the dying Vegapunk from Kizaru by kicking his laser beam attack away, an act that surprises even the otherwise unflappable Kizaru. Sanji's declaration as to how he can do this, and Kizaru's reaction to it, is an affirmation of a fact every One Piece fan already knew.
    Sanji: Love is stronger than light!!
    Kizaru: If that's true, then physics as we know it is dead...
• Chapter 1108:
  • Vice-Admiral Tosa manages to catch up with Franky, Bonney and Atlas, and pounce on them while inwardly boasting about his 'Tosa Bite' technique that is supposedly equivalent to 10 Finger Pistols of Cipher Pol's Six Powers and whose strength is enough to rip apart armor......and then he promptly gets squashed by the blunt side of Broggy's axe.
• Chapter 1109:
  • Luffy's Gum-Gum Dawn Cymbal attack, where he flattens Kizaru and Saturn before twirling them on his fingers like pizza dough and throwing them. For bonus points, Saturn manages to steer himself back towards Luffy, prompting an Eye Pop from the latter.
  • As a Funny Background Event, the young female journalist from chapter 1074 is still swooning over Vivi, paying no mind to Vegapunk's broadcast.
• Chapter 1110:
  • Usopp has managed to stop the Sunny from slipping off the Labophase with his Pop Greens. Brook tries to reassure Lilith that everything turned out well after all, only for an annoyed Lilith to kick him in the shin and retort that it turned out fine because of Usopp instead of him.
  • When Jinbe finds that Zoro is still fighting Lucci, Sanji exasperatedly calls him a liability over the Den Den Mushi. Even though Zoro is a considerable distance away from Jinbe, he still gets ticked off by Sanji's comment.
• Chapter 1111:
  • After Dorry signals the rest of the giants to retreat, they leave the Marine warships alone... since they have no loot for them to steal.
  • Warcury's roar is so strong that it blows away Luffy's hat, sandals, cuffs, eyes, Haki tattoos, and scars. He has to literally put himself back together.
  • When Saturn spits explosive venomous pellets, Luffy grabs a tree, gnaws it into a baseball bat, paints the bat with a paint brush and can he took from Hammerspace, puts a baseball helmet on his head and knocks the pellets back to Saturn.
    • For their part, Saturn and Warcury react with shock at this, and it's easy to see why: the pellets explode in their faces, leaving Luffy to make a Wild Take in response.
      Luffy: WHAAAT?! THEY EXPLODED!!!
  • When Mars shows up in his beast form to collect York and ask her where the transmission is coming from, York panics at the fact that a monster is talking to her and tells him to go away.
    • Mars himself, throughout the chapter, appears to have the very subtle gag of casually interrogating other people while in his monster form, all while sporting a blank stare.
• Chapter 1112: Ju Peter's Sand Worm form tries sucking Luffy, Dorry and Brogy in with a Vacuum Mouth ability. Luffy's solution? Shove a building down his throat!
  Luffy: If you're that hungry... eat this building!!!
