Line 1:
{{work}}
== A ==
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Zombie Lola towards Absalom. Subverted when she turns out to be a sympathetic character.
** The real Lola toward any male who crosses her field of vision, though she's not [[Ax Crazy]] about it like Zombie Lola was toward Nami initially.
Line 16:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: When Sabo is introduced in the anime, the character is voiced by Junko Takeuchi, famous for her role as Naruto. What do they do in their third episode together? Eat ramen, obviously.
** A later episode shows him using a fishing rod in battle, referencing Takeuchi's role as [[Hunter X Hunter|Gon]].
{{quote|
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Movie 9 is an alternate version of Drum Island, seemingly placed after the CP9 arc, and it manages to perfectly retain everything that made the original arc good, while also making some changes to keep things interesting for old fans.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Yasopp's hair goes from being black in the manga to a dirty blonde in the anime.
Line 34:
** Shanks, while one of the most easygoing and laidback characters, ''freaks'' out when Luffy was kidnapped by a bandit.
** Nami's mother Bellemere facing the decision to either save herself and deny her children's existence or save her children and be killed by [[General Ripper|Arlong.]] She [[Mama Bear|chooses the latter.]]
** {{spoiler|Boa Hancock and her sisters}} were the youngest members of their crew and the second their older crewmates took their eyes off of them, they were {{spoiler|kidnapped and sold as slaves. It took them ''years'' to get home.}}
* [[Advanced Ancient Acropolis]]: It's implied that there is (or was) one of these prior to the formation of the World Government, complete with superweapons powerful enough to destroy entire islands, during a period known as the "Void Century". Any and all knowledge of it has been suppressed, and anyone attempting to regain that knowledge will be hunted down and annihilated, along with ''any surrounding territory''. Nico Robin's dream is to learn what happened.
* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: Chief Warden Magellan becomes a rare non-videogame example in the latter part of the Impel Down Arc, once it becomes clear just how overpowered he is.
Line 60:
** The German version of ''[[One Piece]]'' also has a theme song different from the Japanese version. It can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJIABl_Omc8 here].
* [[Always a Bigger Fish|Always a Bigger Sea King]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/103-58422-11/one-piece/chapter-603.html Seen Here.]
* [[
** The World Nobles, the ruling power of the World Government. Not one of them is portrayed sympathetically. If anything, they're even worse than pirates.
* [[Always Female]]: Whenever someone on Amazon Lily has a baby, it always turns out to be a girl for some reason.
Line 69:
** Zoro fought a sword-wielding ape who tried to fix a slash across the chest with spit. It was an injury, and it was very amusing.
* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: Adieu, Captain Morgan.
* [[Angrish]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20111011134803/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v45/c436/2.html Sanji's reaction] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luIy1hdARQo anime version]) to his bounty poster.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Oda loves these. Every CP9 member, the three admirals, and the original Seven Warlords of the Sea all have animal themes. The Straw Hats have them too, though theirs are a bit vaguer. However, Oda has stated he's sure of at least one. He ''thinks''.... that Chopper is a [[Shaped Like Itself|reindeer]].
* [[Animal Talk]]: Chopper can talk to humans and animals and act as a translator, which has come in handy before.
** Averted with other Zoan fruits. Simply eating, say, the Neko-Neko Fruit Fruit does not allow one to speak to cats.
*** [[Fridge Logic|Well Chopper did explain he can do it because he was originally an animal himself]].
Line 78:
** Episode 474 brings us the best animation quality yet seen, though a few moments, such as facial expressions, look rather awkward as a result.
** The animation quality bumps up whenever [[Person of Mass Destruction|Whitebeard]] does something awesome.
* [[Anime Theme Song]]: 15 of 'em, all equally optimistic and catchy! Starting with "We Are!" by Hiroshi Kitadani, which is nearly classic among
** Note, however, that the 13th theme is probably the saddest of all the themes.
*** The themes seem to generally follow the mood of the story. Once {{spoiler|the crew reunites again}}, the new song is even more upbeat.
Line 90:
*** It eventually takes the entirety of the {{spoiler|Blackbeard Pirates}} attacking in tandem to take him down. ''[[Badass|And he still dies standing up.]]''
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Luffy, whose crew includes a talking reindeer, a singing skeleton, and a cyborg, is shocked that Law has a ''bear'' in his crew.
** To be fair, we're never given an explanation for why the bear can talk. However, the existence of a talking [[Up to Eleven|starfish]] was properl... eh, somehow explained in-story.
** Also the people from the Grand Line believe Skypiea to be merely a myth. This coming from a sea where islands have lightning rain and a good amount of people have strange abilities.
* [[Arc Number]]: Whenever someone's past is mentioned, terrible events always occur on some multiple of 3 or 10 years ago. Compared to the number of people this does not apply to, it's almost like there's a triennial apocalypse... at least for any named characters.
Line 96:
* [[Arc Words]]: The Will of D.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: The World Nobles, who take this to downright absurd levels (rape, slavery, and genocide are the ''mildest'' of their misdeeds), the nobility of the Goa Kingdom, and King Wapol. The ruling family of Alabasta averts this.
** The ruling family of Fishmen Island also averts this.
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Nami; at times Vivi.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Eneru and Rob Lucci. Both somewhat [[Justified Trope|justified]], since the former was literally invincible until [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|Luffy came along]], and the latter was a government [[Tyke Bomb]].
Line 106:
** Lest we forget Nami's ever-expanding breasts.
*** Or Usopp's lengthening nose.
*** In all fairness, the original crew are all teenagers (at least until the time
* [[Art Shift]]: Three times in the anime: once in Movie 6 and in a later episode, the art (already done in a radically different style than the rest of the show) shifts to a black-and-white sketchy style. Then a minor shift appears in one of the more recent episodes: in the imagination of Hancock, whose fantasy version of Luffy is drawn to look Bishonen in a completely non-Oda style, complete with sparkles.
* [[Art Style Dissonance]]: Even with the zany, cartoony art style, the series can get pretty dark at times.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Hodi Jones from the Fishman Island arc started out as a fan of earlier [[Big Bad]] Arlong before becoming one himself.
** Oda counts somewhat, seeing as he started out as a fan of [[Akira Toriyama]] (and [[
* [[Asleep for Days]]: Luffy sleeps for three days after defeating Crocodile. After he's told this, he calculates that he missed [[Big Eater|15 meals]].
* [[As Long
* [[As Long
* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance]]: A common part of Oda's design style:
** Usopp is designed to look like Pinocchio. His long nose recalls Pinocchio instantly, while his large boots, knobby body, and dark skin are specifically designed to look like wooden marionette. Fittingly, he's a constant liar, who desperately wishes to become a real man.
** Most of the male Baroque Works agents have their number integrated into their appearance. On the extreme end, Mr. 7 has a face consisting entirely of 7s.
** Chief Warden Magellan, who runs a [[Divine Comedy|Dante's Inferno]]-esque prison, looks like Satan wearing an [[Putting
** BRUTALLY and hilariously inverted with Commander T-Bone, who is one of the most peace-loving and compassionate human beings in the series, let alone the Marines. [[Face of a Thug|Despite this, he looks like a hideous ghoul.]]
** Prof. Clover's hair looks like an upside-down three leaf clover.
Line 123:
** Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit allows him to repel all attacks with his palms, regardless of how powerful they are.
* [[Author Appeal]]: It has become increasingly clear over the past few years that Eiichiro Oda really, really, ''really'' likes [[Funny Afro|afros]].
* [[Author Avatar]]: In the ''Dream Soccer King!'' special, [[Eiichiro Oda]] is depicted in it as a soccer player called Odacchi; what's funny is that he's the '''[[Take That Me|worst]]''' soccer player in the special, [[
** Also in ''Gigant Battle'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], Oda is depicted again as a man with a large pencil and a ''[[It Runs
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Every high-ranking Marine officer. ''Every one of them.'' Subverted in Smoker's case; he started as a mere captain and reluctantly rose to commodore. It's been said that he'd have a much higher rank if he were more obedient.
** Also subverted by Vice-Admiral Garp, who we later find out had actually ''turned down'' a promotion to Admiral multiple times. The one time he's shown fighting that isn't against Luffy (and thus [[I Let You Win|likely wasn't his best effort]]), he was fighting alongside ''Fleet Admiral Sengoku'' himself, indicating that the two are very likely on the same level.
Line 131:
** Also subverted by the World Nobles, who seem to have virtually-absolute authority over all the people of Sabaody Archipelago, as well as the Holy Land of Mariejois, have the authority to call an admiral and battle fleet if someone ticks them off, and yet they have no fighting ability whatsoever, aside from being allowed to carry guns.
** Played straight with other pirate crews, where the captain is always the most battle-capable member of his or her crew.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Crossdressers (''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' author [[Nobuhiro Watsuki]] confirmed that then-assistant Oda was responsible for the creation of crossdressing villain Kamatari) and [[Funny Afro
* [[Auto Cannibalism]]:
** In a plot point exclusive to the manga, Zeff cut off and ate his own leg while stranded on a deserted island with Sanji, who he had secretly given all the stockpiled food to.
** Later, a villain gifted with Munch-Munch Fruit [[It Runs
* [[Award Bait Song]]: Some of the songs used in the anime and movies could qualify. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ2JzLz-PBA Asu wa Kuru Kara]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMUuch7zJwQ One Day]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OQ9VFFdkjs Compass]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV4wC3siiME Mata ne]" come to mind.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Most of the Warlords have specific goals (Crocodile, Moria, Blackbeard), and some of them have codes of honor (Jinbe, Mihawk). By contrast, [[Slasher Smile|Slasher Smiling]] [[Real Men Wear Pink|Donquixote Doflamingo]] appears to be absolutely batshit insane and just enjoys causing havoc and killing people.
Line 143:
** Dr. Vegapunk's bodyguard, Sentomaru, wields a giant battle-axe, though he boasts that he doesn't even need it to take Luffy down. He does need it for Monster Chopper, though.
** Very much earlier, the less formidable Captain Morgan had an axe in place of a hand.
== B ==
* [[Backstory]]: ''Everyone.'' If a character is fighting one of the Strawhats for more than two chapters, expect them to have some sort of [[Backstory]].
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: For
** And to one up that, we've got none other than Whitebeard and Roger on the cover page of Chapter 597.
* [[Badass]]: Read the next ten or so entries.
** The entire fight against Shiki in ''[[One Piece Film: Strong World
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Kaku and Kalifa, who were already top assassins and spies before earning Devil Fruit powers.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Chopper, Nami, Luffy, Vivi and Tashigi, among others.
** Robin and Hancock also count, to a lesser extent (They're definitely badass, but they're not as cute as the aforementioned examples).
* [[Badass Boast]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110926182915/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v41/c398/14.html This page.]
{{quote|
Luffy: YEAH----!!!! }}
** {{spoiler|After taking out 50,000 New Fishman Pirate warriors after hearing Hodi}} declare his intentions to be the Pirate King.
{{quote|
** '''I AM WHITEBEARD'''.
** Luffy at Enies Lobby.
{{quote|
'''Luffy''': "Yeah and I'm alone so GET OUT OF MY WAY!" }}
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Nico Robin.
Line 171 ⟶ 173:
** Silvers Rayleigh definitely counts. Aside from fending off a dude packing light-speed reflexes and a ''lightsaber'', he also ''swam the freaking Calm Belt'', which is infested with colossal sea monsters. Also, he punched out an elephant ''with his mind''.
** Don't forget [[Failure Knight|Gan Fall]].
* [[Badass in
** But it's also important to note that several members of CP9 look really ridiculous wearing suits like that, especially the fat Fukurou and the hyperactive Kabuki actor Kumadori.
** This seems to be spread to the Marines as well. Just look at Admiral Kizaru.
Line 181 ⟶ 183:
*** So did John Giant.
* [[Badass Mustache]]: '''WHITEBEARD'''. The misleading name ([[Lost in Translation|which is because that part of his name in Japanese means any kind of facial hair]]) detracts nothing from its awesome manliness.
** [[Word of God|Oda]] [[Blatant Lies|claims]] it also [[It Runs
** Pirate King Roger's slick old-school handlebar ain't so bad, either.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Usopp, hands down. Sanji and Zoro would also qualify, were it not for their ''superhuman strength''.
** Nami has very little physical power or fighting skill to speak of, and no Devil Fruit powers, but still manages to take down fairly tough opponents (and cuts large swathes through the Marines' [[Redshirt Army]]) with her Clima Tact, a [[Weather Control Machine]] that her navigational skills allow her to do things with that not even Usopp, its original creator, could think of.
** Mihawk is kinda this compared to the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, being the only one to so far possess neither Devil Fruit powers or Fishman abilities.
** Surrounded by guys who shoot lasers, freeze oceans, and turn into Buddha, Garp stands out as a Marine capable of extreme [[
** Roger himself also counts. To the best of our knowledge so far, he had no Devil Fruit powers. He appears to have had the ability to understand any language, but that isn't what made him the greatest pirate to ever live.
*** It helps that his crew also seems to have been this. Out of the former members of Gold Roger's crew that we've seen so far, only Buggy has been shown to have a Devil Fruit power, and he ate his entirely by accident. In Buggy's flashback, the crew express the opinion that losing the ability to swim isn't worth the power, and when Buggy, probably one of the lowest-ranked people on the ship, declares that he's going to eat it, no one really seems to care. In fact, the rest of the crew comment on how stupid he's being.
Line 200 ⟶ 202:
** Kaku's half-giraffe form also pulls this off, managing to show that Zoan's clothing deformation has limits.
* [[The Baroness]]: Kalifa. The sexpot kind.
* [[Base
* [[Bastard Girlfriend]]: Hancock, of course. She can kick a kitten, she can insult pretty much anyone she wants and she can turn people into stone without anyone caring. Why? Because [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful|she is
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Blackbeard is the man with a plan. Check the page entry for details.
* [[Battle-Interrupting Shout]]: Happens not one, but many times. First, it is subverted by Princess Vivi as per [[Rule of Drama]] when she tried to stop the revolutionary army from attacking the royal palace. Played remarkably straight by Luffy later on: when he screams for a crowd to ''stop'', he can actually cause an entire battlefield to ''faint and froth at the mouth.''
* [[Battle Tops]]: Captain Buggy's First Mate uses spinning tops in one of his attacks.
* [[Beam Spam]]: When he feels up to it, Kizaru can unleash an absolute hail of laser blasts.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: A new character, Brownbeard, manages to take this trope [[Up to Eleven]]. He has a evil beard which splits into ''three additional beards''.
** Subverted with Bear-Man a [[Petting Zoo People|Gifter]] who has eaten the Bear SMILE Fruit. He looks like a ridiculously buff, but otherwise huggable green teddy bear with a cute face, but due to eating a [[Evil Knockoff|SMILE Fruit instead of a proper Zoan fruit]], he still has his human face in the muzzle.
* [[Beary Cute]]: Bepo is a seemingly meek bear belonging [[Petting Zoo People|Mink]] who acts as the navigator for the Hearts Pirates. He seems weak-willed but can hold his own in a fight with his martial art skills.
* [[Beast Man]]: Anyone who eats the Zoan class of Devil Fruit applies to this trope.
* [[Beat Still My Heart]]: In chapter 662, {{spoiler|Law literally pokes out Smoker's heart. Law then is seen holding Smoker's heart as Smoker himself slumps down.}}
Line 229 ⟶ 233:
*** Though it's fine if you're up for being a [[Worthy Opponent]]/[[The Rival|rival]], as seen during his team-up with Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law.
** Zoro
*** Not many, but hurting his nakama is definitely one.
*** Particularly if it was Chopper, as Ohm had found out.
** Nami
Line 254 ⟶ 258:
*** After the CP9 arc, you wouldn't want to mess with her nakama. They're all she has in the world.
*** Being called "The Demon Child." Tashigi ''really'' learned this the hard way.
*** Being a lackey of the World Government. {{spoiler|It was because of them she lost her hometown and ruined her childhood.}}
** Franky:
*** Hurting the Franky Family is ill advised.
Line 267 ⟶ 271:
** Don't call Whitebeard a failure when Ace is in earshot. Unfortunately, this worked out in {{spoiler|Akainu}}'s favour.
** Hilariously [[Averted Trope|averted]] in Hachi's case. After Zoro ruins his haircut, the octopus-man decides to... forgive him. After all, it's only hair.
** Now has its [[Berserk Button/Anime and Manga/One Piece|own page.]]
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: Dr. Hiriluk
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Luffy is a pretty nice guy. There are just some things [[media:youmadethemcry.jpg|he won't tolerate]].
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]:
** Sanji's "Diable Jambe" works ''underwater''.
* [[Black Beard]] {{spoiler|has ''two'' devil fruit powers and hasn't exploded.}}
** There's a [[Big Bad]] who has a sword THAT ATE A DEVIL FRUIT!
Line 278 ⟶ 282:
** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in Squad's case, since he only used it to {{spoiler|stab the shit out of Whitebeard}}.
* [[Big Bad]]: Every arc has one, but the saga villains are the ones that stand out the most.
** [[Fantastic Racism|"Sawtooth" Arlong]] for East Blue.
** [[The Chessmaster|Sir Crocodile]] for Baroque Works.
** [[A God Am I|Eneru]] for Skypiea.
** [[General Failure|Spandam]] with [[Dragon-in-Chief|Rob Lucci]] for the CP9.
** [[Evil Counterpart|Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach]] for the Whitebeard War.
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: Jyabara.
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: It's taken quite a while, but it's finally official. At present, the series' top villains are [[Affably Evil|Marshall D]]. [[Evil Counterpart|"Blackbeard"]] [[From Nobody to Nightmare|Teach]] and [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|Fleet Admiral]] "[[General Ripper|Akainu]]" [[Knight Templar|Sakazuki]]. Also arguably [[I'm a Humanitarian|Big Mom]], and [[Manipulative Bastard|Buggy]] [[Consummate Liar|the]] [[Monster Clown|Clown]]. Although the last one is probably more of a [[Big Bad Wannabe]].
** The jury's still out if any combination of [[The Chessmaster|Crocodile]], [[Slasher Smile|Kaido]], [[The Sociopath|Eustass Kid]], [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|X. Drake]], [[The Fatalist|Basil Hawkins]], or [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|Trafalgar Law]] will end up within this category, but we can possibly rule out [[Ax Crazy|Donquixote Doflamingo]], since he's more of [[The Dragon]] to the Gorosei.
* [[Big Ball of Violence]]: Played straight. Mr. 2 sacrifices his freedom for Luffy and the Impel Down escapees. Luffy cries, Buggy mocks him, Luffy punches Buggy on the nose, Buggy retaliates.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Ace, the older brother, is rather protective of his younger brother, Luffy. On a not-literally-siblings note, Zoro tends to be most protective of the crew's youngest member, Chopper.
Line 291 ⟶ 295:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Ace and Zoro to Luffy, as well as Marco to Ace.
* [[Big Bulky Bomb]]: The bomb at the end of the Alabasta arc.
* [[Big Creepy
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The Straw Hat Pirates, more often than not.
** If one of the weaker Straw Hats are in jeopardy, you can expect Sanji to materialize from nothing to deliver a kick to a villain's face.
Line 298 ⟶ 302:
*** Moments later, {{spoiler|Shanks steals Law's thunder by '''ENDING THE WHOLE DAMN WAR WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT'''}}.
*** {{spoiler|[http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-580/page010.html Holy Crap]}} Possibly the biggest damn heroes moment of the series.
** A particularly strong example was in ''[[One Piece Film: Strong World
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20111001030029/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v41/c390/18.html The Straw Hats showing up to save Robin and Franky.]
** All together now: [[Took a Level
** All together again: Chapter 633!
** The entire crew seems to constantly be doing this on the large scale as well. They arrive at an island JUST in time to be around as the various events come to a head.
Line 308 ⟶ 312:
** Luffy took this [[Up to Eleven]] at the end of the Arabasta arc. He was given an entire cartful of fruit to snack on while he waits for dinner to be prepared. He eats ALL the fruit, ''WITHIN A NANOSECOND'', literally if you blink you'll miss it. Also added that he didn't even bother to peel said fruit or that he ate two cardboard boxes along with it. Zoro and Sanji shout out of what Luffy just did was some kind of trick.
* [[Big Entrance]]: Invoked by Monkey D. Garp. How does he make his entrance? Busting straight through a wall when [[There Was a Door]]. Why? Because it's [[Rule of Cool|cooler that way.]] He then goes on to have his men fix the wall.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Three examples.
** Kong is the commander in chief of the Marines, but he's not nearly as involved in the story as the Fleet Admiral.
** The Gorosei are the leaders of the World Government, but they leave most of the anti-piracy policies to the Marines.
** Kaido is one of the Yonko, but he hasn't made an official appearance just yet.
* [[Big Good]]: Shared and switched amongst various contenders throughout the story. Chronologically speaking, Gold Roger kickstarted the Golden Age of the Pirates, but he's a [[Posthumous Character]], while Dragon remains the most powerful opponent to the World Government, as head of the Revolutionaries. An old rival to Roger, Garp, Sengoku, and Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate had this role thrown upon his shoulders during the Marineford arc, while "Red-Haired" Shanks (a former crewmate of Roger) operates as something of a Bigger Good. After the Whitebeard War, Silvers Rayleigh (Roger's first mate) briefly worked as Luffy's mentor and trainer prior to the [[Time Skip]], but there's a chance he'll return once again.
* [[Big "Never!"]]
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Many and numerous.
* [[Billing Displacement]]: In universe example:
Line 323 ⟶ 327:
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]}}: {{spoiler|The ending of Marineford. Ace and Whitebeard have been killed, Luffy stays without his nakama for about two years (though it was his choice), and the world is now under a new age of even more piracy. Despite this, Luffy and his crew resolve to continue their adventure with high spirits and never give up on their dreams.}}
* [[Blank White Eyes]]: Happens to every villain who has been deafeated by Luffy and won't be getting back up again (For the moment). Also happens to Luffy when {{spoiler|he realizes that Ace died right in front of him.}}
* [[Blessed
** Perhaps the most notable case is Brook, whose Yomi-Yomi Fruit allows nothing more than coming back from the dead. His soul took so long finding his body that it had rotted to only bones by the time Brook fully revived. Plus, it's implied this power only works ''once'', so Brook is now left with the negative effects of a Devil Fruit. Regardless, even Brook has found ways to put his light, bones-only body to good use.
*** The Yomi-Yomi fruit also keeps you in whatever state you were in when it kicked in permanently, essentially bestowing semi-immortality; the user can't age or die of natural causes, but they can be killed by other means. This turned out to be more of a curse for Brook since it led to him spending ''fifty years'' all alone on a deserted ship.
Line 338 ⟶ 342:
* [[Blood Upgrade]]: Pearl from Don Krieg's crew, who becomes more unpredictable when he realizes he's bleeding.
* [[Bloody Hilarious]]: In a recent chapter, Sanji ended up {{spoiler|having his face squeezed into a mermaid's breasts whilst hiding from the three mermaid princes. The result is that Sanji has a nosebleed so powerful that it erupts into the air in the shape of a mermaid.}} This proves disastrous because just moments ago, Chopper told everyone that Sanji has a rare blood type and he had just run out. So if Sanji had another high-pressure nosebleed, he would be in big trouble.
* [[Bloody Murder]]: Crocodile's [[Achilles' Heel|only weakness]] is liquid, as getting wet prevents him from using his sand powers. What does Luffy use when he has no water? His own blood.
** In the 4Kids version, this was [[Bloodless Carnage|changed to sweat]].
* [[Blush Sticker]]: Hancock of all people gets some.
Line 346 ⟶ 350:
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Hilariously enough, [[Big Bad]] Gold Lion Shiki from the tenth movie and his assistant doctor Indigo have this going on. The OAV of "Chapter 0" shows they were going at it over 20 years back as well.
** Often happens between Nami, Usopp, and Luffy.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: More often than not, if there's a female in the series who's a deadly fighter, they're bound to have large breasts as well. The only exceptions are those who are too young or too old (or too ugly).
** If a female character starts getting stronger, expect their bust size to increase as well, just look at Nami {{spoiler|and Tashigi}}.
** At first, Princess Shirahoshi looks to be an exception, then you realize that {{spoiler|she's the modern incarnation of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon and possesses to control Sea Kings and possibly use them to tear islands apart - fitting considering she has the largest pair in the series}}.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: In Luffy's flashback to his time with Shanks, Shanks is held at gunpoint by a mountain bandit. [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|Shanks calmly tells the man that guns are for killing, not threatening, at which point the big guy in Shanks's crew headshots the bandit point blank.]]
* [[Bootstrapped Leitmotif]]: Franky's theme music.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: In a [[Non-Serial Movie]], the villain's henchman has to carry an enormous box containing flintlock pistols (which can ONLY fire one shote each) for this reason.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: 4Kids North American dub.
** The Japanese anime also did this occasionally, with respect to the manga. When Luffy gets hit by Jango's chakram, it originally goes straight [[No One Could Survive That|into the back of his head]]; the anime changes this into a [[Cutlass Between the Teeth|mouth catch]] that slightly cuts the corners of his lips. Bellemere is {{spoiler|shot ''through the head''}} in the manga, while the anime just has her {{spoiler|shot, period}}. There are various other incidences as well, though they're relatively minor.
*** ... Except for one: According to the anime guide ''One Piece RAINBOW'', Sanji is 20. [[Word of God]] in the manga states unequivocally that he's 19, and
** Another instance in the anime. During Sanji's fight with Absalom, Absalom stabs him in the back with a knife, and Sanji manages to locate him thanks to him stepping in a pool of his blood. However, thanks to the [[wikipedia:Akihabara massacre|Akihabara Massacre]] about a week prior, [[Too Soon|the knife and blood was hastily edited out in the anime]], resulting in Sanji apparently getting hit with a normal blow and locating Absalom without help. Foreign broadcasts, and presumably the DVDs, remain unedited.
** There were two major bowdlerizations done in the Marineford Arc: {{spoiler|when Ace was given the killing blow from Akainu, the carnage done to his torso was heavily reduced to a blank hole and much less blood. Also, most importantly, while Whitebeard got half of his face blown off from one of Akainu's attacks in the manga, the anime changed it to losing half of his moustache.}} Understandably, if the anime kept this gorey detail in, it would definitely change the rating closer to those of more darker anime.
Line 376 ⟶ 381:
** Also his fight with Rob Lucci, where he was pretty much crippled afterwards.
** And let's not forget Luffy's battle with Crocodile, where he had to be bleeding profusely, covered in his own blood, to be able to hit Crocodile. Coupled with that Crocodile's poison hook had infected Luffy with a lethal poison ''multiple times'' throughout the fight. By the time Crocodile had finally been knocked ''unconscious'', Luffy was laying there ''dying'' of poison.
* [[Brought to You
* [[Built With Lego]]:Cover 622 has the Straw hats building a lego structure.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: The author, Odacchi. Seriously, the fans wouldn't put up with all the [[Hand Wave|unexplained]] [[It Runs
** Luffy is quite a bit of this too. Considering {{spoiler|Trafalgar Law}}'s willingness to {{spoiler|team up}} with Luffy, even with knowledge of Luffy's immaturity.
* [[Buried Alive]]: "Wet Hair" Caribou and "Blood Splatterer" Coribou have a reputation for doing this to Marines.
* [[Burning
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Usopp and Sanji at times.
** When they were learning about dials, Luffy is told to speak into a tone dial to record his voice. What does Luffy say? "Usopp's an idiot!"
