Line 1:
{{work}}
* ''[[One Piece]]'' is equal game for [[Ho Yay]] as well as Het due the general [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] rule.
** Some consider Zoro's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and unquestioned loyalty for his captain (and stopping Sanji from making his ''own'' [[Heroic Sacrifice]]) prime Yaoi fuel.
*** Zoro picks up a steel cage that Luffy is trapped in and carries him to safety. Whilst wounded profusely and casually losing a few litres of blood.
*** The Mihawk fight. Concluding with a [[Manly Tears|blubbery pledge]] to his captain.
*** In chapter 659, to cross a river, {{spoiler|Robin imagines Zoro and Usopp carrying her and Luffy and specifically, Luffy is riding Zoro.}} [[Shipper on Deck]]?
Line 12:
** The twelfth opening sequence happens to match lyrics about a waiting love to the image of Luffy falling through the sky towards an anguished Ace.
*** Don't forget how Luffy hugged Ace close to him after he got deadly wounded and had a breakdown as he saw Ace lying on the ground dead.
** There's also Shiki and Roger, although it seems to be one-sided on Shiki's part. Shiki is first seen in his introductory scene offering Roger a chance to [[We Can Rule Together|join forces to take over the world]]. Of course, Roger refuses despite being outnumbered a 100-1 and the huge battle that ensues leaves Shiki's forces devestated and with Shiki having a wheel stuck through his head. Later, when Roger is supposedly captured by the Marines and sentenced to death, Shiki invades '''Marineford''' to rescue him, [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|refusing to believe that someone as strong as Roger was so easily captured]]. He's stopped by Garp and Sengoku, the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|most powerful men in the Marines]] (at the time at least), who inform him that [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|Roger's execution is being held at Loguetown in East Blue]] and that they would not allow Shiki to invade the East Blue to stop the execution. The battle that ensued took out half of Marineford, but ultimately ended in Shiki being sent to [[The Alcatraz|Impel Down]] where he managed to escape by ''[[Badass|cutting off his own legs and replacing them with swords]]'', ultimately planning to take over the world and devestate it with his own devices. On the whole, he comes off as something of a [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] when it comes to Roger!
** [[Transvestite|Emperor Ivankov of Kamabakka Island]] is ''very'' loyal to [[La Résistance|Dragon]]. So much so that he was willing to wait for Dragon's signal while stuck in [[The Alcatraz|Impel Down]] and is only convinced to leave once he finds out that Luffy is Dragon's son. He then makes protecting Luffy his top priority, even stating that he wouldn't be able to face Dragon if he allowed his son to die in battle.
*** Regarding that first part, he is living in luxury in his own hollowed-out section of Impel Down surrounded by people who practically worship him, so waiting for Dragon's signal isn't all that impressive a sacrifice.
Line 18:
** It's not hard to picture Chaka and Pell as being partners in more than one sense of the word.
{{quote|'''Chaka''': I still... can't accept your death. I can't even shed tears. Why is this, Pell?}}
** Brook and Yorki had an awful lot of smiling and touching going on, especially in the anime. Which just makes that flashback even more depressing when you get to all the inevitable tragedy.
** Coby and Helmeppo skirt the edge between very good friends and boyfriends. [http://community.livejournal.com/cobymeppo/9896.html#cutid1 The filler doesn't really help]. Taking Coby's fanboyish adoration of Luffy into account, an argument could also be made for a Helmeppo-Coby-Luffy triangle.
** [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Calgara]] and [[Badass Bookworm|Norland]] from the Skypeia Arc flashbacks. The entire arc hinged around their tragic separation and the suffering both of their descendants endured as a result.
