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

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Even the relatively saner ones have their quirks.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: All of the crew members have a painful past that makes you wanna give them a hug. Robin may have the most painful of the crew, though.

* [[The Idealist]]: A whole crew of them. They're all driven together by collective dreams.

* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]

* [[Anti-Hero]]: At the beginning of the series, he was [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|a criminal in name only.]] He was sometimes [[Innocently Insensitive|a bit rude,]] and beat up [[Knight Templar|"good]] [[The Social Darwinist|guys”]] who really deserved it, but that was all. [[Darker and Edgier|Later on]] he's been skirting around the lines of a Type III, and he's even admitted that he ''doesn't want'' to be a hero.

** Though that was more for nonsensical reasons. He immediately agreed to be one after {{spoiler|Jinbei promised he would get his meat rather than having to divide among the people. Trust me, [[It Makes Sense in Context]].}}

* [[Asexuality]]: One of the closest examples for the trope that Shonen manga is probably ever going to get. [[Word of God]] mentions that Luffy is more interested in adventure than women, and that there will be no real romance in ''One Piece''. See [[Chaste Hero]] below.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|His Gear 2nd technique]] [[Cast From Hit Points|slowly shaves off his life]], and overusing it in a single fight can (or at least it used to) tire him out and leave him open to attack. But Gear 2nd is DAMN awesome.

** {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], he seems to have improved it by having only single a body part(s) under Gear 2nd's effects at one time.}}

** A much straighter example would be Gear 3rd, which slowed him down and left him completely vulnerable to Rob Lucci when he tried an extensive use of it. He gets around this later by using it almost exclusively for finishing blows.

* '''[[Badass]]'''

** [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: You ''reeeeally'' don't want to make him angry. Seriously.

** ''[[One Piece Strong World]]'' should have been called ''Luffy Gets Angry: Shit Goes Down''.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Gets quite a few.

** During the Marineford arc, he manages to pull this trope off as he and the rest of the Impel Down escapees crash down from the sky, ''ship and all!''

* [[Book Dumb]]: Very much so when it comes to science and medicine -- he once tried to heal a wounded Zoro by pouring booze on his face because "Zoro likes sake, so it'll make him better". However, he's a genius in combat, social skills, and politics, beating "wittier" enemies like [[Implacable Man|Eneru]].

* [[Born Lucky]]: He has been described as having the Devil's Luck. While the lightning bolt that saved him on the execution platform may have been Dragon's doing, he's survived a number of encounters due only to extreme good fortune.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm gonna be Pirate King!"

* [[Cement Shoes]]: Arlong did this to him in their fight. Surprisingly, the [[Kryptonite Factor|normal vulnerability to water of a Devil Fruit user]] did not stop his stretching abilities, allowing townspeople to stretch his head out of the water so [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable|they could give him CPR when he drowned]].

* [[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]]}}.

** {{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.

** American Luffy took over as Gohan in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]''.

* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Child abuse isn't funny... except when it involves [[Refuge in Audacity|throwing the child down a ravine, leaving him in the in the wilderness]], and [[Crosses the Line Twice|attaching enough helium balloons to him to make him float into the sky]], all for the purposes of increasing his survival skills. After hearing about it, his crew immediately realizes just where Luffy got his strong will to live from.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: In fine Shonen fashion. He's a more tranquil version, however.

* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: As a child who had recently eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit, Luffy was rather unskilled with his stretching powers -- especially when compared to his mastery at the start of his journey. His signature Gum-Gum Pistol? His first attempt bounced off the ground and back into his own face.

** {{spoiler|When he uses Armaments Haki, his body turns [http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/605/11 dark and shiny], as if his rubber body has gone through a form of vulcanization.}}

* [[Kiai]]: See the end of his fight with Rob Lucci.

* [[The Leader]]: A combination of Type III (Headstrong) and Type IV (Charismatic). Has some shades of the Levelheaded Type II, but only when the situation is truly dire.

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Does this whenever he's NOT trapped somewhere and can't fight, but the most notable straight example was at the beginning of the assault on Enies Lobby, where he actually took off full speed into the heart of Enies Lobby during the middle of planning, causing his allies to nearly be wiped out. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPqKRPU3aXM Perfectly summed up here.]

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Lately, after the timeskip, he uses Gear Second attacks for ''everything''. Considering how strong he already is and the fact that he has Haki, his normal Gum Gum attacks should be more than enough to solve his problems, rather than senselessly shorten his lifespan to beat a few minor enemies}}.

** {{spoiler|He may not have the drawback post-time skip. Still this trope though, as he doesn't ''need'' to go [[Super Mode]].}}

* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: By the end of the first half of the series, approx. time around the Sabaody Arc, his skills and power are simply no longer enough to beat anybody or anything stronger than a single Pacifista, (with the support of his entire team at that...) and considering Hancock, his "Love Interest" ([[No Hugging, No Kissing|I use that term lightly]]) could smash dozens of them in one hit, that really, really was quite pathetic. {{spoiler|Thankfully, he got better and after two years of training, he can now also defeat a Pacifista in a single hit (along with a giant KRAKEN, for that matter...)}}

* [[Training From Hell]]: Went through this in childhood. It involved being thrown into jungles at night and tied to balloons, apparently.

* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: {{spoiler|The Paramount War is one HUGE [[Break the Cutie]] moment for our hero, starts during the Sabaody, [[It Got Worse|gets many times worse in]] [[The Alcatraz|Impel Down]], AND he finally rescues his brother only to lose his life protecting you, he is VERY LUCKY that he is able to return to being himself.}}

* [[Trouser Space]]: Where he keeps the "octopus"...

* [[Ubermensch]]: Luffy refuses to follow the typical code of pirates, a code that revolves around pirating for treasure rather than your dreams, and does not harm civilians and steal. on one occasion, this even got him ridiculed and beaten, but he still stands strong by his beliefs.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Initially with regards to Haki; he starts out only being able to make people submit to his power, and only during the [[Time Skip]] does he learn how to use its forms.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: On Enies Lobby, the soldiers were literally being sent flying by the hundreds from the moment Luffy got there, and it wasn't over until 3000 had been defeated and he had made his point -- shit was getting serious.

Adult Voice: [[Kazuya Nakai]] (JP), [[Wataru Takagi]] (OVA), [[Marc Diraison]] (EN, 4Kids), [[Christopher Sabat]] (EN, Funi), Gabriel Basurto (Latin American Spanish) }}

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.}}

* [[Badass]]: One of the more prominent examples in the series.

** [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: [[media:zoroblood.jpg|In this pic,]] which completely cements his [[Made of Iron]] credentials.

** [[Badass Boast]]: From chapter 642:

{{quote|'''Zoro:''' You want to kill me?! You couldn't even kill my '''boredom'''!}}

** {{spoiler|Post time skip: He's faster than a Fishman, ''while underwater''.}}

* [[Made of Iron]]: To a mind-blowing extent. He refuses to be incapacitated even after Mr. 1 practically puts him through a meatgrinder. This is most noticeable in the anime, which often downplays how badly Luffy and others are hurt in their fights -- it is kinda hard to do with Zoro, as he almost always fights swordsmen.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: His surname is based on that of real life pirate Francois L'olonois.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Qualifies in most areas, most notably that he looks ''great'' with his shirt off, which happens [[Shirtless Scene|more often than not]].

* [[Number Two]]: In times of emotional crisis for the crew, he's taken responsibility of the crew and reminds Luffy of his duties as a captain, solidifying his position as this. This is most obvious in regards to Luffy's duel with Usopp.

* [[One-Man Army]]: {{spoiler|Post [[Time Skip]], he managed to defeat most of the Neptune Army soldiers by himself, and after his capture, he plans to do the same with Hordy's men now. Even Usopp [[Lampshade Hanging|calls him one.]]}}

* [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank]]: To [[Serial Escalation|an increasingly ridiculous degree]].

** In the 5th movie, the villain says his Cursed Sword will drink all of Zoro's blood. Poor thing probably would have exploded from overfill.

** They made fun of this in Episode 523. They showed Zoro looking at ''nine pint bags of blood'' that were being transfused into Sanji, angling as if ''he had given it all''.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: There has been no mention of his parents at all. All we know is that he trained at the dojo at a young age.

** Debatable, but it seems he got better post-Time Skip.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: He has his moments with kids. He's not usually ''trying'', but they're there.

* [[Trash Talk]]: Zoro is the Straw-Hat Pirates' resident trash talker in a fight. He enjoys telling his opponents things like "The reason you've never lost is because you've never met me", and of course, he always gives out a "Post Asskicking One-Liner", in which he usually comments on how his opponents were a mere stepping stone for him.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Never outright stated, but sure would [[Celibate Hero|explain a lot]]. Kuina was pretty much the only girl Zoro ever really related to, and if it's true that the attachment was that deep, it would squish the idea that Zoro got off easy compared to the other crew members flat.

* [[Volleying Insults]]: Gets into this quite frequently with Sanji.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His three [[Katanas Are Just Better|katanas]]: Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Shuusui. He's consistently had Wado Ichimonji, but had gone through several other swords before getting his current remaining pair.

** [[I Like Swords]]

*** [[Cutlass Between the Teeth]]: His fighting style relies on it.

*** [[Flaming Sword]]: Yaki Oni Giri (Flaming Demon Slash). Used once with actual fire, and in one of the [[The Movie|movies]] with magic fire. He also stated that he would love a flaming sword as a weapon.

*** [[Licking the Blade]]: He does this a couple of times. Not surprisingly, there was much [[Squee|squeeing]] from the [[Fan Girl|female fanbase]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9zuB6IhU3c=related See here].

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Often loses to main villains of the arc, especially Buggy, Arlong, Eneru, Oars and Moria, and Kuma in order to show how powerful they are.

** [[Worf Had the Flu]]: On the other hand, a good chunk of those opponents were immune to swords, to varying degrees. Buggy can't be cut at all because swords only disconnect his floating body parts. In Arlong's case, Zoro was recently really run through the gauntlet, had already been in a fight, and was using a type of sword he wasn't used to, so it was hardly surprising there. Eneru is made out of [[Shock and Awe|pure electricity]], so he couldn't be touched. Kuma doesn't count: he didn't just beat Zoro, he ''curbstomped the entire Straw Hat crew and everyone else.''

** Also the Kuma Incident at Thriller Bark.

* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: It's not that Zoro can't go home. It's just that he doesn't know the way, seeing how he's got a lousy sense of direction.

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.

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Usopp somewhat fixes this problem for her. She's not quite as strong as her crewmates, but she's got a respectable record, taking out Miss Double Finger from Baroque Works and Kalifa from CP9.

* [[Cat Fight]]: Gets into these all the time, but her fight with Kalifa in which Nami herself is scantily clad and getting rubbed all over [[Fan Service|by the buxom, fishnet-fond Kalifa using her]] [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum|"Slippery wet soap powers"]] takes the cake.

* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: Twice. The first was [http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/6/6e/W7.jpg in the Water 7 arc], when she didn't fight at all. The second was [http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/a/a6/Nami_PerfectClimaTact.JPG in the Enies Lobby arc], where she more than proved her worth as an [[Action Girl]].

* [[Elemental Powers]]

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: In the manga, as of recently.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: One of the more [[Punchy Love|emotional]] members of the crew.

** Slight subversion in that the Heat and Cool Balls are useless as attacks, and tend to be used for weather manipulation only.

* [[Gainaxing]]: In the 7th movie sometimes they bounce wildly when she moves very little.

* [[Money Fetish]]: She's such a [[Trope Codifier|classic case]] that she's the Page picture. See [[Mr. Vice Guy|Ms. Vice Girl]] below.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Most conventional in the world, as she's: stacked, [[Gainaxing|bouncy]], [[The Tease|flirtatious]], and [[Bare Your Midriff|rarely covers her stomach]].

* [[Mr. Vice Guy|Ms. Vice Girl]]: She is obsessed with money and often cons other characters (including her own crewmates) out of their hard-earned cash. Despite this, her good qualities still outweigh her greed. In the Arlong Park arc, it's shown exactly why she's so fixated on getting rich. The habit doesn't exactly die after the fact, but she slowly gets better about it, at least.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Weather control makes a great weapon. It also makes showering anywhere a lot easier.

* [[Never Gets Drunk]]: Nami can hold her liquor just fine. She out-drinks fifteen people and goes on like it was nothing.

* [[Not So Above It All]]: Gets her fair share of this. She can be just as goofy as the rest of the crew.

* [[Only Sane Woman]]: Has bemoaned how their crew always seems to attract the weird ones.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: He knows nothing outside of making things and fighting. ''Nothing.''

* {{spoiler|[[Green Thumb]]:}} {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], he's able to fire off things ranging from man-eating plants, to seaweed, to bamboo spears.}}

* [[She's All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]]: ''[[Hello, Nurse!|Hello]]'', Mansopp!

* [[Heavy Voice]]: Has one after gaining weight on the Bowin Islands.

* [[The Storyteller]]: He frequently tells stories, and his name is a reference to Aesop.

** There's actually a [[Running Gag]] throughout the series of Usopp's stories actually coming true.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Again, Sogeking. Anyone who's read this far knows what I'm talking about.

** {{spoiler|Post-timeskip, damn! He has broader shoulders, large biceps, and [[Department of Redundancy Department|muscles]], oh my!}}

* [[Trick Bullet]]: all of his ammunition.

* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: Ended up here at the beginning of the Skypiea saga. Drowning, then falling, might do that to somebody.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Physically the weakest of the crew ([[Word of God]] says, no matter what, he always will be), but he's able to come out on top through a wide array of tools and gadgets.

** The best example of this for <s>Usopp</s> Sogeking would be sniping soldiers on top of the tower at Enies Lobby... where the wind was against him and not even guns can fire accurately. At a range guns can't even reach!

-----

* [[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}}.

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The chances of him actually scoring with anyone he's wooed are practically nonexistent.

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: At least at first. During the Alabasta Arc, he goes around kicking ass without even being recognized as a Straw Hat. He wasn't as well known as even Usopp at that point, but he'd still in the top three.

* [[Badass]]

* [[Bishonen]]: A masculine example.

* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Has a habit of giving these after winning major fights.

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Crap" as a prefix (e.g. his nickname for Zeff, "Kuso Jijii", means "Shitty Old Man"). It's almost a tic, since he uses it when describing non-crappy things, like 'dates' with Nami. This pisses her off enormously.

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Duval's slip of the tongue reveals he's got a crush on Sanji. And he had the drag queens on Okama Island hitting on him and dressing him up for two years. Poor guy.

* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]: His attack names.

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: His legs, of course.

* {{spoiler|[[Flash Step]]: One of the skills he obtained during his stay on Momoiro Island.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Mistaken for Gay|Mistaken For]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Crossdresser]]: By a whole flock of crossdressers}}.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Unfortunately for straight male [[One Piece]] fans, looking for art of him on the internets will cause pages and pages of [[Ho Yay]] and Bishonen pictures with Zoro. And unfortunately for him, none of his fan girls in real life can reach him through the computer screen.

* [[Nosebleed]]: It happens so much during a period of shock after being separated from women he actually needs a blood transfusion.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Usually calm and composed, he had an epic one {{spoiler|when he realize who exactly are the inhabitants of Momoiro.}}

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: His left eye has always been covered by his hair, though [[Word of God]] says that it's perfectly functional under there. He's even held a pair of binoculars up to it before. Later on, {{spoiler|he switched the bangs to the other side, revealing that both his eyebrows swirl in the same direction}}.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: His "Diable Jambe" technique involves lighting his effing leg on FIRE, [[Friction Burn|via friction]], and attacking with it. Interestingly, while Oda joked that his Hot Blood is what allows him to do it, it seems to be turning into a true ability, with him bursting into flames during his anger and characters commenting on it on enough occasions to make one wonder if it was just a joke or not.

* [[Princely Young Man]]: You could sort of consider him one, not to much by virtue of him thinking he's a prince, but the fact that he treats Nami and Robin like princesses and sort of thinks of himself as their knight.

* [[Punny Name]]: His name is a pun on the way the Japanese say "3 o'clock". However, it can also refer to a terrible, horrible incident that makes one want to avert their eyes and break out the [[Brain Bleach]]. Veeeerry appropriate...

** On a more serious note, {{spoiler|kicks Luffy and tells him to think before he speaks after he tells Usopp, in a fit of anger, to leave if he disagrees with his decision. Luffy apologizes, but it's too late.}}

* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: As a result of a "strict upbringing". See also [[Weaksauce Weakness]] above.

*** Also deconstructed once, when a [[Genre Savvy]] female enemy used it against him so he wouldn't be able to help {{spoiler|Robin.}}

** [[Averted]] ''one time'', when the crew first met Robin as a member of Baroque Works after Whiskey Peak. When they all drew weapons on her, he held her up with a pistol. Usopp even [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] on how out-of-character the act was; he reasoned she was a threat to Vivi.

-----

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

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: Except for when he's Chopperman.

* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Like Usopp, he can be a scaredy-cat at times. Once push comes into shove, however...

** {{spoiler|Not so much after the [[Time Skip]], it seems. He's already faced down a particularly vicious [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|Shark Fishman]] without losing his confident grin for a second.}}

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Being a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]], naturally he's voiced by women.

* [[Cry Cute]]: Being a bit of a scaredy-cat, and very, very cute, he does this a lot.

** When somebody gets injured, Chopper has a tendency to call for a doctor, only for someone nearby to remind him that ''he's'' the doctor.

** See [[I Am Not Weasel]] above.

* [[So Last Season]]: While his Rumble Ball transformations are fairly versatile, they've been getting noticeably less and less effective as the series has worn on. It got an upgrade, so he has fresh, new transformations now.

** {{spoiler|It seems that all of his original forms have become stronger. Even better, he doesn't even need the Rumble Ball for most of them anymore.}}

-----

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

* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: Let's face it, that's what she is, even though she is ''much'' more developed and less blatant than usual.

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: She was treated as an outcast on Ohara after eating a Devil Fruit.

* [[Blue Eyes]]: In the anime.

** [[Icy Blue Eyes]]

* [[Broken Bird]]: Thanks to being pegged for death due to {{spoiler|a [[Government Conspiracy]]}}, it wasn't until the Straw Hats came to save her from Enies Lobby that she realized that she had finally found her place.

* [[Brown Eyes]]: In the manga and ''[[One Piece Strong World|Strong World]]''.

* [[Heroic Willpower]]: Having her shadow ripped out took about 15 minutes, tops, for her to get back on her feet. To put this in perspective, the average person would be incapacitated for ''three days''.

* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]: Post-timeskip.

* [[Lady of Adventure]]

* [[Large Ham]]: It turns out that Robin is the biggest overactor of the crew. Subversion in that she only does this for musicals.

* [[Nerves of Steel]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: As Miss All Sunday, she always wore a white cowboy hat. She still occasionally does, or sometimes a purple one.

** Considering her past, this is her defense mechanism. It prevent her to be attached to people. In Enies Lobby event however she found herself a Nakama that is willing to travel with her despite all the burden she carries, and from there on she is willing to call the Strawhats by name, starting with Luffy.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Possibly the only one besides Luffy who can find a monstrous, three-headed, decaying zombie dog ''cute''.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: As a Devil Fruit user, she is affected by this, though the only times she's ever been in danger of this was during the seventh [[The Movie|movie]] and the climax of the Enies Lobby arc.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Robin is this trope; she's the third tallest member of the crew (6'2"), has long flowing dark locks, is widely considered to be the most attractive member of the crew, and has an austere and sophisticated personality.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Her somewhat macabre sense of humor often unnerves her companions.

* [[Wrestler in All of Us|There's a Wrestler in All of Us]]: Robin specializes in submission locks and her most common form of attack is taking down an enemy from a distance in this manner using her powers. After the [[Time Skip]], she even takes it up a notch and one of her moves involves making a [[Doppelganger Attack|clone]] of herself to take down the legs in a submission hold while she herself performs a diving-neck snap. [[Muscles Are Meaningless|On a Fishman twice her size]]. A Fishman who, like all Fishmen, is said to naturally be 10 times stronger than the average human. [[Precision F-Strike|Damn]].

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]

** {{spoiler|1=[[Big Fancy Sword]]/[[Katanas Are Just Better]]: The Marauder's sword, the [[Punny Name|Franken]].}}

* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: Weaponized. His "Franky Triangle Jacker" consists of him plucking off his sideburns and throwing them like sharp boomerangs.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: How he fits everything inside his body is probably best left unanswered.

* [[Large Ham]]: Natch. He once responded to a sad backstory by playing a somber tune on his guitar.

* [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: His cyborg functions are powered by carbonation! So is the ship he made, for that matter.

** It may also serve as an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] and a joke on [[Steampunk]], since the most popular brand of cola is [[Real Life|Coke]] and [[wikipedia:Coke (fuel)|coke]] is a type of fuel that was used in steam engines.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Abandoned by his pirate parents and adopted by Tom, who died when he was a young adult.

* [[Power Source]]: He's gotta have his Cola.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: They are his favotite types of jokes -- they really bust his gut. But... WAIT! [[Self-Demonstrating Article|HE DOESN'T HAVE A GUT!!! YOHOHOOOOOOO!!!! SKULL JOKE!!!]]

* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: Greatly subverted. As described by some of the [[The Aloner|other]] tropes [[Go Mad From the Isolation|listed]], Brook is not entirely well. As [[Gentle Giant|described]] by still [[Nice Guy|other]] tropes, he is also the [[The Pollyanna|least likely]] to even act like a jerk, let alone be particularly violent as pirates go.

* [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: His entire existence.

** Acording to the [[Other Wiki]], his Devil Fruit allows him to function like a normal human despite not having the necessary organs to do so.

** Up for debate. His background implies he held the position of captain of an unnamed kingdom's army before becoming a pirate, so it's equally possible that he was upper class first and the twit part developed from being [[The Aloner]].

*** Hey, if he wasn't before, "Soul King" definitely is.

* [[Walk On Water]]: Due to his light frame, he can dash across the ocean's surface for a short time. How long is only limited by endurance.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]

** [[Sword Cane]]: His primary weapon.

*** {{spoiler|During the timeskip, the longarms sharpened the blade and it was given the name Soul Solid.}}

* [[Your Size May Vary]]: Brook is ridiculously tall, but sometimes sloppy animators forget this fact while others exaggerate it. In other words, his height depends on the art director of an episode.
