Line 10:
** And now another repeat performance by Luffy in Chapter 569 in the Marine Headquarters just as his brother was about to be executed, knocking out not only the executioner, but even some Marines and New World Pirates, as well as Mr. 3 disguised as the other executioner. As expected, this act captures the attention of every high-ranking person on both sides, [[Oh Crap|particularly Fleet Admiral Sengoku]]!
* [[Ki Attacks]]: ''Haki'' (Ambition) is essentially this.
** {{spoiler|It is present in all living things and comes in 3 "[[Insistent Terminology|colours]]": "Obsevation" (''Kenbunshoku''), AKA ''Mantra'', which allows the user to [[Spider Sense|sense other living things and predict their actions]]; "Armament" (''Busoshoku''), which allows the user to [[Fighting Spirit|use their spirit as an invisible armor of sorts to enhance their attack and defense]], which can also be imbued into weapons; and "Conqueror" (''Haoshoku''), which allows the user to [[Pure Awesomeness|intimidate others with weaker spirits than themselves into unconciousness]]. Only [[Million -to -One Chance|one in a million]] people can use that last one.}}
*** {{spoiler|Armament Haki can be used to harm [[Nigh Invulnerable|Logia]] Devil Fruit users by "[[Armor -Piercing Attack|touching the substantial body beneath the protection of a Devil Fruit]]"}}.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Pirate Empress Boa Hancock's mission in life is to kick every [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute fuzzy animal]] that crosses her path.
{{quote| "Just who in blazes had the gall to place a '''kitten''' in my path?!!"}}
Line 42:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Chapter 577 is appropriately titled, [[HSQ|"Major Events Piling Up One After Another"]].
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: What's hidden inside Hannyabal's chin? COULD IT BE DREAMS??!!
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: After meeting the cute mermaid Camie, Zoro promptly deletes his memory of having met the not so cute mermaid Kokoro through sheer willpower. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v50/c491/13.html Here]
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Where do I start!? There's too many of them! Buggy The Clown, and even that is because he's sensitive about his nose. Wapol when he ate the fat out of his body and became slim. Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas, and Mr. 2 Bon Clay before his [[Heel Face Turn]]. Foxy when he acts [[Smug Snake|very arrogantly]], only to be insulted and feel down. Spandam in every scene, where he isn't doing something horrible, including when he burnt himself with his own coffee. And some Lampshade Hanging of when Kaku of CP9 turned into a giraffe.)
** Boa Hancock was as well, according to one amazon's words, "Looking down on someone so much, she's looking up!" But she wasn't so much evil than [[Defrosting Ice Queen|an ice queen waiting to defrost.]] And she did a [[Heel Face Turn]]. [[Jerkass Facade|Although not in front of her subjects, though.]]
Line 79:
* [[Lucky Translation]]: During the Amazon Lily arc, when Luffy [[It Makes Sense in Context|describes his balls]], he uses the Japanese euphemism "gold balls", resulting in Marguerite and the rest of the Amazons believing that they're just that. The fan subs and the English manga used the euphemism "family jewels" to achieve the same effect.
* [[Batman Grabs a Gun|Luffy Grabs A Sword]]: Happens twice. Once, while at Whiskey Peak when he thought that Zoro had killed a bunch of people that he was unaware were bounty hunters, failing to effectively use it. The second time was during Thriller Bark when he had a hundred shadows in him, which proved effective this time since one of the shadows was that of a marine swordsman ([[It Runs On Nonsensoleum|Somehow, having a shadow of someone who can use a sword makes you able to as well]]).
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Luffy's father is {{spoiler|the world's most wanted criminal, Monkey D. Dragon}}, and his grandfather is {{spoiler|the legendary Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp}}.
** And then, our expectations get twisted when it turns out that {{spoiler|Ace's father is actually Gold Roger.}}
* [[MacGuffin]]: The "One Piece".
Line 94:
* [[Madness Mantra]]: Usopp likes to say, when faced with an enemy or place he just got a scare out of: "[Name] scary... [name] scary... [name] scary..."
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Dr. Hogback, Vegapunk and, to a lesser extent, Franky.
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Most of the Devil Fruit powers are given some sort of expository explanation beforehand, and they tend to be used very consistently.
* [[Magic Antidote]]: ''One Piece'' [[Zig Zagging Trope|zig-zags]] all over this one. Generally, healing actually does take time in the series, but sometimes, medicines and concoctions take effect instantly (the big example here is Chopper's Rumble Ball, which seems to activate as soon as he bites it). Sometimes, though, it's hard to tell if healing is actually genuinely complete after a few minutes, or if the characters are such [[Determinator|Determinators]] that they don't realize they haven't healed yet.
** Lampshaded early in the series when Yosaku appears to have immediately recovered from Scurvy. Nami points out that he shouldn't have healed so quickly, but he doesn't seem to hear her. [[Subverted Trope|He then faints again less than a minute after dancing around]].
Line 105:
* [[Mama Bear]]: Bellemere is the earliest example within the series. Chef Zeff and Whitebeard also serve as Papa Wolves. The queen of this, however, is Portgas D. Rouge for staying pregnant for nearly two years, by sheer willpower, to ensure Ace's safety.
** Post Timeskip, Nami shows signs of this when {{spoiler|giant children ask for her to help them get back home. She orders Sanji and the others to help them.}}
* [[Man -Eating Plant]]: Lots of them on the Bowin Archipelago, the island where Kuma sends Usopp to. Episode 455 takes it to its logical conclusion by revealing that the entire island is in fact a [[Man -Eating Plant]], which periodically tips its petals into the air, sending any unfortunate creature not holding onto something into its gaping maw.
** Post-timeskip, {{spoiler|Usopp seems to have taken to using them as weapons.}}
* [[Manly Tears]]: Many and frequent, though Franky is especially prone to blubbering at the drop of a hat while [[Sand in My Eyes|fervently denying it.]]
Line 136:
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Usopp, of course. Though lately, he's gotten better at not running away at the first sign of danger.
* [[Milestone Celebration]]: The Straw Hats finally get to the Grand Line in the 100th chapter of the manga. Oda had to severely truncate the Loguetown arc to make it so, however.
* [[Million -to -One Chance]]: The reputed odds of someone possessing the Color of the Supreme King Haki. Though since 6 different characters have been confirmed to have it (Luffy, Boa Hancock, Shanks, Silvers Rayleigh, Whitebeard, and Ace), you get the impression that it's not as rare as people say.
** Alternatively, it could be said those with this power find themselves at the epicenters of great events in history and it is fate that they meet up.
** However, it needs to be pointed out that this series has [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], and that's not even counting the virtually numberless masses comprising the various [[Redshirt Army|Red Shirt Armies]] and the civilian population. And as pointed out, the Marineford drew in nearly all of the most powerful characters in the series, so of course just about all of the characters with Overlord Haki are going to end up in the same place. In fact, it's a bit telling that an arc containing so many powerful characters introduced so few that actually have it.
Line 167:
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Most of the Jaya arc has this in some form or another, with Bellamy and his crew being the muggers. The first time, Luffy and Zoro just shrug off their insults, despite either being able to beat the entire crew single-handed. Then Bellamy goes and [[Berserk Button|robs Luffy's new friends]]. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Big mistake.]] Later on, Sarquiss, Bellamy's first mate, accidentally bumps into Blackbeard and starts mouthing off. Blackbeard gives him a nice taste of the wooden dock for his trouble.
** {{spoiler|Immediately after the time skip, a random pirate crew posing as the Straw Hats come across the genuine Nami and Usopp, who give the imposters a small taste [[Took a Level In Badass|of what they've been learning over the past two years]]. Then the same fakes have the misfortune of threatening the real Luffy. Luffy nonchalantly [[Dodge the Bullet|dodges a bullet]] to the head from Fake Luffy's pistol (never mind that, since he's all but immune to blunt force, it'd probably bruise him at the most) and knocks out all of the Fake Straw Hats present with Haki.}}
* [[Multi -Armed and Dangerous]]: Hatchan, Nico Robin, Omigumo, and Zoro when using his mysterious 9-sword style.
** Also one of Whitebeard's allies, who has an octopus theme and six fully functional arms. Whether he's a fishman hybrid or a fruit user is yet to be seen.
* [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]]: Adult female readers compose one of the manga's largest audiences.
