One Piece/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** And then after Eneru has to visibly collect himself and manages to barely fight off Luffy, Luffy yells at him that even if he gets past Luffy and onto the Blue, he will still have to contend with the 'hundreds of rubber monsters' down there. Given that Eneru has never heard of rubber his entire life and has no clue what's down in the blue seas is terrified.

* How about when Luffy leads the Straw Hats against the Franky Family to get revenge for Usopp? "Don't leave a single bone unbroken."

** When Luffy first uses {{spoiler|[[Deadly Upgrade|Gear Second]]}}, [[Curb Stomp Battle|and hands Blueno his ass]].

** Speaking of the Enies Lobby arc, Luffy has a great [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he {{spoiler|storms the Marine headquarters and proceeds to beat down hundreds upon hundreds of guards by himself. ''With his bare hands.'' And it is stated that of all the guards taken down, Luffy took down at least ''one thousand'' of them.}}

** For those of you who want to see, the Gaon Cannon attack has been animated. And yes, it's exactly as awesome as many figured it would be.

* This troper believes that the first ship, Going Merry, deserves a mention as well. Turning up in time to rescue them from Enies Lobby {{spoiler|which was about to be pounded out of existence by cannon fire}} guided only by the spirit of the ship and despite having a keel that had snapped in half. {{spoiler|Then of course we get one of the biggest [[Tear Jerker|tearjerkers]] in the series.}}

{{quote| '''Luffy:''' Nami didn't come here as a sacrifice. She came as a vanguard !!<br />

* Straw Hats get their guns out.*<br />

*** And if that doesn't wet your pants, this will: {{spoiler|Luffy+ Buggy teamup.}}

*** Hell, the entire {{spoiler|Luffy/Buggy/Mr. 3/Mr. 2 teamup is a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], especially at the end of chapter 532 when they all work together to take down a minotaur.}}

* Kuro? Effortlessly sneaking behind the rebelling Siam and Buchi and threatening to kill everyone if they can't get past Luffy and Zoro in the next five minutes.

* Krieg? Lifting the Mackerel Head (the Baratie's battleship) out of the water with one hand and tossing it towards the Baratie itself.

* 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.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Mr. 3}}:''' I'll be damned if I'll stay in your debt, Straw Hat!}}

* 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...

* A huge [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Silvers Rayleigh, he not only blocked a kick/laser beam, he cut a logia user and made him bleed.

*** Namely, the UBER BADASS one from the [[DCAU]].

*** Aquaman in a universe where Aquaman is ''absolutely deadly''.

** Evidence 5: {{spoiler|Moria realizes his zombies are useless against Jinbei's command over the salt water surrounding the area. He pulls out some of his hidden shadows and absorbs them, dramatically increasing his size before he goes after the Fishman with his gigantic pair of scissors. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Jinbei one-shots him.]]}}

** Evidence 6: He blocks an attack from [[Magma Man|Akainu]]. This guy blocks freaking ''lava''.

** {{spoiler|Apparently, Garp turned down a promotion to ADMIRAL! Which means he isn't just merely as strong as a Vice-Admrial; he's probably one of the few men who can fight Whitebeard one-on-one!}}

*** {{spoiler|Shiki deserves many praises as well. It takes the current Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice-Admiral Garp to take him down, and their battle destroyed half of Marineford! In order to escape from Impel Down, he proceeds to CUT OFF HIS OWN FEET, and then escape! Afterwards, he ties the swords he used to use in battle onto the stumps of his feet. He then uses these to walk around on. To top it off, he is creating a plan he is going to put in motion 20 years from then ie. the present day, which will create HELL ON EARTH! This [[Omnicidal Maniac]] is one to NEVER be underestimated!}}

** {{spoiler|First naturally, we have Luffy, filled with righteous fury and with a little help from the weather, managing to defeat Shiki, a legendary pirate who fought Gold Roger himself. Even Shiki can't believe that he'd been bested by someone from the world's weakest sea, East Blue, not once, but twice.}}

** {{spoiler|Then there's Nami, who works to sabotage Shiki's plans by destroying the beast repellent Daft Green, despite the fact that exposure to the toxic substance poisons her, and Shiki poisons her even further when he discovers what she's been doing. Even after this, she feeds his men false information, so that his floating base gets caught in a giant storm, destabilizing things even further.}}

** {{spoiler|Finally, there's Usopp, who during the crew's second meeting with Shiki, channels his Water 7 self and scathingly chews Nami out for leaving them and joining Shiki's crew and how Luffy wouldn't forgive her, despite the fact that Shiki has a gigantic boulder over his head. Granted, he didn't know her real motivations yet, but coming from Usopp, who's usually comic relief and had left the crew in the past himself, this is a pretty gutsy thing for him to do. Not to mention that he helps set up Luffy's final attack.}}

* Whoah! How has nobody mentioned Shanks here yet? The whole saving-Luffy-as-a-child thing complete with LOSING HIS ARM to a sea king and then scaring it away with a GLARE definatly counts, right?

** What really makes that scene is Shanks telling Luffy, "It's just an arm."

** One thing I'm always impressed with is Lucky Roo, the [[Big Eater]] of Shanks' crew. Why? [[Beware the Silly Ones|Because he's the very first person to score a kill in the entire story]].

* Sabo has practically gone and given the world nobles the middle finger, {{spoiler|raising his pirate flag and setting sail on the day they were meant to arrive.}}

*** That was after he {{spoiler|1=made Blackbeard crap his pants in fear. After BB taunts him, Whitebeard starts beating the ever loving shit out of Blackbeard. Including a Quake to the face. And in the end it took Blackbeard's entire crew attacking all at once to take down GARbeard.}}

**** And his {{spoiler|last words? [[Thanatos Gambit|"The One Piece is out there!"]]}}. And they were being broadcast to ''the entire Shabondy Archipelago!'' Sucks to be Sengoku, as the world's pirates just had their ambitions ''jump-charged''.

* In Chapter 577, Blackbeard makes the entire world [[Bring My Brown Pants|reach for its brown pants]] when he {{spoiler|manages to STEAL the power of the Gura-Gura Fruit from Whitebeard's corpse}}. That's right: Marshall D. Teach has broken the cardinal rule of {{spoiler|"No one can have more than one Devil Fruit"}}, thus becoming, in [[Ultra Sonic 007|This Troper's]] mind, [[Took a Level In Badass|the most powerful man in the world]]. Seriously, {{spoiler|earthquakes and darkness!}}

** Also Jinbei {{spoiler|pretty much tells Akainu to go to hell when he insists on killing Luffy. Mind you, this is a man made of magma vs a fishman}}. Followed shortly by Ivankov {{spoiler|using his Hell Wink to get Akainu out of the way}}.
