* We also has the Thriller Bark arc, which featured a gigantic ship shaped like a [[Haunted Castle]] that was home to Dr. Hogback, a [[Mad Scientist]] who made zombies (including zombiefied, literal [[Mix and Match Critters]]), Perona, an [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] girl who could summon ghosts that came out of the goddamned walls (and floors and paintings), and [[Big Bad]] Gecko Moria, a large, vampire-like man who could steal people's shadows, and briefly traps Luffy's shadow in the body of a humongous zombified giant.

** The wacky personalities of the various zombies, including Oars (zombified super-giant) act as pretty effective [[Nightmare Retardant]]. Because its hard to be terrified of such very silly creatures... Though the method of creating them and the effect of the sun on shadowless people is very [[Nightmare Fuel]]-worthy.

** The scene of Nami taking a bath goes from [[Fan Service]] to [[Fan Disservice]] when Absalom (who's quite the [[Handsome Lech|pervert]]) comes in and attacks her. A couple fans think it [[Does This Remind You of Anything|looks like a rape scene]].

** The most nightmare-inducing part of the entire arc is, without a doubt, Moria's [[Villainous Breakdown]]. His greatest zombie defeated, Moria snaps, ranting about his [[Freudian Excuse]], before entering his [[One Winged Angel]] form in what might be the most terrifying transformation sequence out of this show. And while he's ranting, [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/e/eb/Moria_snap.jpg he's got the most terrifying] [[Slasher Smile]] I've ever seen in an anime.

* The Blugoris from Impel Down are freaky. Large, vaguely humanoid creatures wielding giant battle-axes... with no face. Just a small lump for a head and what appears to be a painted-on skull.

** Impel Down itself. All prisoners are first boiled alive upon being sent there, and part of the punishments involve walking upon a field of razor sharp blades until your feet are nothing more than shreds. The kicker is that this occurs on the first level. The tortures get progressively worse as you continue further deep into what other characters in the manga have explicitly referred to as 'hell on earth'.

* The [[Aristocrats Are Evil|Celestial]] [[Complete Monster|Dragons]], anyone? Their complete and absolute disregard for human life, [[Karma Houdini|not to mention their utter untouchability]], has given this troper the chills on more than one occasion.

** Heck Akainu in general especially after he recovers from Whitebeard's beatdown and proceeds to chase after Luffy. The man's a damn tank and nothing is going to stand in his way. Not even the toughest pirates of the One Piece world.

* [[Ax Crazy|Caribou]]. Just [[Memetic Molester|Caribou]]. He is a psychotic homicidal lunatic who prays to God to forgive his victims of their sins.

** As pictured above, his swamp Logia powers are really [[Body Horror|grotesque looking]]. He looks like a puddle of melted flesh, although this can be attributed to being black and white and Oda's art style.

*** Also the way he was kidnapping those mermaids [[Does This Remind You of Anything|eerily resembled]] a rapist assaulting his victim.

* Hody Jones {{spoiler|latest form}} can be this, with that huge, gaping murloc-like jaw.

** Hody Jones in general. He's basically ''One Piece'''s response to [[Adolf Hitler]]...or at least, {{spoiler|Hitler if he had been stopped before he could have achieved his dreams of conquering his own country}}...
