One Piece/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The Seven Warlords of the Sea nearly ''always'' do this. Mihawk's is when he slices the ''Dreadnaught Sabre'' in half without even touching it, Doflamingo's is when he commands Sarquiss to ([[Gory Discretion Shot|apparently]]) hack Bellamy's legs off, Kuma and Teach when they reveal their Devil Fruit powers, and, well, picking just one moment for Moria? Certainly impossible.

** Also, Mihawk attacking and giving chase to Don Krieg's massive crew of over 5,000, with his ''four inch knife'', '''just because they disturbed his nap.''' He also sails the seas alone in a little raft. The same seas that are frequently described as being chocfull of freaky weather, (200 foot tall or more waves,) extremely powerful individuals, and giant monsters. Mihawk has more awesome crammed into him than most powerful crews have put together.

* Rob Lucci cumulates this with his [[Moral Event Horizon]] when he kills a pirate crew and 500 hostages at only 13 years old.

** Incidentally, killing those 500 hostages was Lucci's way of ''resolving a hostage situation.''

* When it comes down to it, the entire Blackbeard Pirate Crew can be said to live, breathe, drink, and, in Teach's case, eat this trope. Whether it be sneaking into one of the most heavily defended buildings in the world (presumably after climbing the Redline to get there; alternatively, he may have {{spoiler|flown}}), throwing a two-story building at an opponent, shooting a target that's over the horizon, testing fate with exploding apples, or even just walking down the street, almost everything they have done to date falls under this trope.

** Blackbeard: "Ace, your body is fire, right? I am... darkness." Swiftly followed by sucking an entire town into a black hole, THEN blasting it back out, THEN defeating Ace despite having a sun essentially thrown at him. This troper firmly believes he'll be the final [[Big Bad]] of the series just from this.

* 603: {{spoiler|Kuma of all people gets one - he makes a deal with Vegapunk so that his human weapon body protects the Thousand Sunny untill The Straw hats get back. When Franky finally finds it, two years later, his body is completely wrecked and can barley function. What is Kuma's reply to this? 'Mission complete' - Cue slow limp away without a word, and the reveal that the Thousand Sunny is absolutley spotless.}}

* New Villain {{spoiler|Vander Decken IX}} gets one. {{spoiler|He's a fishman with a fruit ability... that involves throwing things accuratly at a target. His current target is the Mermaid Princess. So what does he go and do with this ability? Apart from throwing weapons at the love of his life, he allies with the other fishman villain of the arc, Hodi, who is basically Arlong 2.0, and then throws Hodi's strongarmed human pirate captives as human artillery to invade the Palace and open it from the inside.}}

* Chapter 650: {{spoiler|Aokiji, the only Admiral in the marines who exercised moral justice, fought against Akainu, arguably the strongest and most ruthless man in the Marines, for ten days. And when he lost, not wanting to be Sakazuki's underling, he LEFT THE MARINES.}}

** {{spoiler|Later on, we get to see the island where those two fought. Half of it is perpetually on fire, the other half frozen solid. Their battle was so intense it permanently altered the climate.}}

 

== Others ==

** And his underling, Inazuma, when he {{spoiler|uses the powers of the Choki-Choki Fruit to cut up the floor and manipulate it like cloth to block an oncoming wave of knockout gas}}.

* I think that we can safely say that the ''entire'' Impel Down Arc is made of Crowning Moments of Awesome, with {{spoiler|'''''MR. 3, OF ALL PEOPLE'''''}} getting one as well, when he {{spoiler|blocked Magellan's highly poisonous Hydra attack with his Candle Wall, despite being only a quick sprint away from complete freedom, urging Luffy and company to escape.}}

* This one isn't for a character, but for Toei's decision to take away [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]]'s rights to dub the anime. And then gave those rights to [[FUNimation]], who pretty much [[Superlative Dubbing|revived the franchise in the US]] despite being [[Screwed by the Network|Screwed By The (Cartoon) Network]].

* Here's ten for Luffy, his greatest punches up to his first ''shown'' use of ''Third Gear'' called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKhx7hktQ Luffy's Greatest Hits]. Unfortunately, Youtube edited out the soundtrack...

** {{spoiler|He cut out Smoker's heart. Smoker is a Logia with Haki, and Law cut his heart out. Damn.}}

* Vice-Admiral Jonathan Drake. Despite being the main antagonist of a Filler Arc, he proves himself to be a [[Badass]]. How? He nearly captures all the Stawhat Pirates ''without fighting once.'' Just using careful deduction and being an overall [[Chessmaster]], he figures out where each pirate is. Even better, Sanji notes that no one can be ''that'' relaxed without having a few tricks up his sleeve. This is before we learn that {{spoiler|Haki is required to become a Vice-Admiral}}. When standing face-to-face to Luffy, he cares more about trying to figure out why the hell they'd come to his base and the endless puzzle that is what they had to gain for the Alabasta incident. And finally, when is said and done, he merely notes that, dispite losing, it gave the men something to do. He isn't even that upset when he lost. ''Awesome.'' He probably would have captures them if [[Smug Snake]] Commandeer Shepherd didn't get involved.

 

== The Marineford Arc ==

* And now, a cross between [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when we're shown the crew's (sometimes tearful) realization of their own lack of strength. Usopp puts it best {{spoiler|when he says that he's always thought somewhere inside that Luffy was powerful enough that he could just sit back and watch him just become Pirate King}}. And then watching their conviction and dedication to becoming stronger so that they can help Luffy as well. It brings a happy tear to this troper's eyes.
