One Piece/Characters/Straw Hat Pirates: Difference between revisions

His dream of becoming the Pirate King comes from an incident in his youth involving mountain bandits and a sea serpent that resulted in his idol Shanks losing his left arm. Before leaving Luffy's village the very next day, Shanks gave him his straw hat, telling him to give it back when he's become a great pirate.

-----

* [[Acquired Poison Immunity]]: {{spoiler|Because of his fight with [[Poisonous Person|Magellan]] and subsequent healing by Ivankov in Impel Down, his body was resistant against the poison given by a Merman assassin, two years later}}.

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Like all DF users, he's gained incredible powers at the cost of never being able to swim and being branded a freak forever. Not that either of these facts bother him, though.

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Brother]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|Twice]]}}.

* [[Death Glare]]: He always stares down enemies, and when pissed gives these. Two particularly intense faces occur, 1st was right before he defeated Lucci with his [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|Jet Gatling]]. And the 2nd one was to Jinbe while he was having a truly epic [[Freak-Out]] on Amazon Lily.

** {{spoiler|Later becomes one of his regular abilities thanks to Haki}}.

* [[Defeating the Undefeatable]]: Many of his opponents. Eneru is probably the best example, as he spent most of the Skypiea arc proving how strong he was.

** Somewhat subverted too. A big part of the character development of Luffy comes from the realization that it's impossible for him to beat the most powerful marines and pirates of the New World. {{spoiler|Cue 2 years training with the Pirate King's first mate}}.

* [[Delayed Reaction]]: Used ''a lot'' of times for comedic effect.

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: After {{spoiler|Ace's death}}, there is a look of despair on Luffy's face that has never been seen before.

Similar to Luffy's goal, Zoro wishes to [[To Be a Master|become the greatest swordsman in the world]]. Unlike Luffy, however, he needs only to defeat Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk, the current greatest swordsman in the world, to do so. He actually meets up with Mihawk fairly early in the story, but failed to land a single hit and was sliced by Mihawk's [[BFS]] for his trouble. Mihawk, however, held back just enough to leave Zoro alive, and told him to challenge him again when he was ready. {{spoiler|Ironically he is ''trained'' by Mihawk to be a stronger swordsman.}}

-----

* {{spoiler|[[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]}}: {{spoiler|After defeating the Humandrills, he has to beg Mihawk to teach him to get stronger for the Straw Hats' sake}}.

Her dream is to draw a map of the world, which she was unable to realize until Luffy managed to free her and her island from the tyrannical rule of the [[Fish People|Fishman]] pirate Arlong. She owes a great deal to the others and especially Luffy for this, and is often the only member of the crew other than Zoro to personally confront or remind him of the deep, gut-wrenching choices that he must face.

-----

* [[Action Girl]]: Not at first, but starts growing into the role after being given her Clima Tact.

His dream is to better himself and become a brave warrior like his father, who serves on board the ship captained by Shanks, Luffy's idol. According to [[Word of God]], he is the physically weakest member of the crew, and his worries about not being able to [[Can't Catch Up|keep up]] with the stronger members and resulting inner turmoil put him at odds with Luffy during one story arc, and ultimately resulted in the creation of an alter ego dubbed Sogeking which he uses to draw on his inner strength and courage.

-----

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: It was one thing to be shooting hot sauce and gas bombs, among other things. {{spoiler|Now he's shooting seeds which instantly grow into ''man-eating plants''}}.

Sanji has also shown some [[Butt Monkey]] tendencies lately, as he's become the butt of an ever-increasing list of jokes, including a ugly, poorly drawn bounty poster that no one has any trouble identifying him with, a man who ''resembles'' said bounty poster coming for revenge, and most recently, {{spoiler|Kuma blasting him to an island filled with, of all things, transvestites, leading him to declare that [[Ironic Hell|he is in Hell]]}}. {{spoiler|While there, he learns of a special recipe to make the consumer stronger and trains with the 99 Newkama Kenpo masters.}}

-----

* [[AB Negative]]: It turns out Sanji has a rare blood type. {{spoiler|This becomes extremely problematic when the [[Nosebleed]] after [[Nosebleed]] he'd been suffering and had been [[Played for Laughs]] after being exposed to real women again caused him to go through all of Chopper's stock of that specific type. As a result, when a mermaid tries to keep him hidden by stuffing him into [[Marshmallow Hell|Marshmallow Heaven]], he has such an [[High-Pressure Blood|epic]] gusher that it becomes life-threatening}}.

His dream is to become a doctor capable of curing all disease, due to his accidentally hastening the death of his already sickly father-figure, Dr. Hiruluk. He has also resolved to prove himself as a man worthy of being a pirate, which sometimes seems at odds with his child-like behavior and gullible personality.

-----

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: A send-up of Rudolph.

Her dream is to learn the history of the Lost One Hundred Years, a passage of time blacked out by the World Government, which is said to be written in a lost language scribed onto huge stone cubes called Poneglyphs<ref>Moreover, she believes that the "Rio Poneglyph" has the information she's looking for</ref>. Simply learning the language of the Poneglyphs is a capital crime, and is the reason that everyone on her island, including her mother, were killed by the Marines. She is now one of only a handful of people in the world who can read them, allowing her to not only discover the true history of the world, but also to potentially revive a lost superweapon.

-----

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Depends on the outfit, but it shows up quite a bit.

His dream is to build and sail on what he deems the greatest sailing ship on the seas, which resulted in the construction of the Straw Hats' new ship, the Thousand Sunny.

-----

* [[Badass]]

Brook is the crew's musician. He ate the Revive-Revive Fruit (''Yomi Yomi no Mi''), which enabled his spirit to reanimate his corpse after he died. [[Blessed with Suck|(Un)]][[Cursed with Awesome|fortunately]], after his death, his spirit got lost for an entire year before finding his body, and it had [[Dem Bones|decayed into a skeleton]]. {{spoiler|He later developed the ability to control his own soul.}} Deprived of his shadow by the Warlord of the Sea, Gecko Moria, he was adrift within the gloomy Florian Triangle until he met the Straw Hats by chance. He's something of a [[Dirty Old Man]] who repeatedly asks Nami and Robin to show him their panties, and he also has the distinct habit of making [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cringe-inducing]] puns relating to his skeletal state at every opportunity. He's ninety years old, though he doesn't age after dying at the age of thirty-eight. He is also a fencer who executes extremely fast attacks and can uses music as a form of hypnosis.

His dream is to reunite with Laboon, a whale who lives at the entrance to the Grand Line, whom the Straw Hats had previously met. Fifty years ago, the baby whale had befriended the pirate crew Brook was a part of, but they had to leave him behind as their travels became more dangerous. After his shadow was recovered from Gecko Moria, Brook happily accepted Luffy's invite to join the crew, pleased to have finally found new friends to call his own.
