Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[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 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 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 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.
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.
Line 144:
** Very much earlier, the less formidable Captain Morgan had an axe in place of a hand.
* [[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.
Line 186:
** 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 201:
* [[The Baroness]]: Kalifa. The sexpot kind.
* [[Base on Wheels]]: Capone "Gang" Bege is a base on ''legs''. His insides appear to be more like a fortress, where an army of tiny people, cannons, and horses reside. And while they may look puny from inside his body, they grow to normal size instantly after moving a foot or two away from him.
* [[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.''
