Line 12:
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The crew consists of a rubber man, a swordsman, a thief and meteorologist, a cowardly sniper, a kick-boxing chef, a shape-shifting reindeer doctor, an archeologist, a soda-run cyborg, and a living skeleton.
* [[True Companions]]: [[Trope Namer]] Emeritus. See: Nakama.
* [[Two Girls to
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Read any chapter and you're likely to find one of them yelling at another one.
Line 65:
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Though he knows what romantic relationships are, he just isn't interested... [[Epileptic Trees|maybe]].
** And, believe it or not, it becomes a plot point!
* [[Chick Magnet]]: He's one of the only characters in the series to actively have women falling for him, ranging from [[Stalker
** He's funny, strong-willed, enthusiastic, ''insanely nice to nearly everybody he meets'', and incredibly righteous. Naturally, [[Truth in Television|he has plenty of real life fangirls]].
*** He's also young, cute, and seriously well-toned. The girls don't go gaga just because of his personality.
Line 75:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Often both a badass ''and'' a moron at the same time.
** He actually tries to weaponize his idiot nature in the Eneru fight, in order to defeat his mind-reading. It works, but he also becomes too stupid to remember to attack.
* [[Cursed
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Brother]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|Twice]]}}.
* [[Death Glare]]: He always stares down enemies, and when pissed gives these. Two particularly intense faces occur, 1st was right before he defeated Lucci with his [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|Jet Gatling]]. And the 2nd one was to Jinbe while he was having a truly epic [[Freak-Out]] on Amazon Lily.
Line 98:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Seems to have a knack for pulling this off, even in the most unlikely of cases. Mihawk actually considers this his most dangerous ability.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Luffy gets called "Straw Hat" by pretty much everyone he fights, with rare exceptions.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Dragon Ball
* [[Flash Step]]: When using [[Super Mode|Gear Second]].
* [[Freak-Out]]: When {{spoiler|he recovers from his [[Heroic BSOD]] and realizes Ace is truly dead}}. In the anime, he also freaks out {{spoiler|when Kuma scatters his crew}}, and when {{spoiler|Ace is killed}}. The latter example is [[Nightmare Fuel|particularly terrifying]], to say the least.
Line 119:
** [[Heroic RROD]]: His Gear Second {{spoiler|pre-[[Time Skip]]}} shortens his lifespan with each use, and will eventually wear him out if overused. Gear Third also might count, although it only shrinks Luffy temporarily after each use, with no mentioned long-term effect.
*** When Ivankov gave Luffy his "miracle treatment" to heal Luffy of Magellan's poison, it took an additional ten years off Luffy's lifespan. Add this to the Gear Second, and the regular damage Luffy takes, and Oda seems to be strongly implying that Luffy will die young.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The original one is also [[Dragon Ball
** Italian Luffy was [[Naruto|Gaara of the Desert.]]
** American Luffy took over as Gohan in ''[[
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Child abuse isn't funny... except when it involves [[Refuge in Audacity|throwing the child down a ravine, leaving him in the in the wilderness]], and [[Crosses the Line Twice|attaching enough helium balloons to him to make him float into the sky]], all for the purposes of increasing his survival skills. After hearing about it, his crew immediately realizes just where Luffy got his strong will to live from.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: His battles only leave story relevant scars, like his trademark one under his eye he got in Chapter 1 or {{spoiler|the new X shaped scar Akainu gave him}}.
Line 184:
* [[Signature Move]]: The Gum-Gum Pistol, Bazooka, Gatling, and Balloon are his 4 most iconic moves, although he typically uses their gear 2nd versions now.
* [[Smart Ball]]: While some of the times he's right are the result of his [[Cloudcuckoolander|bizarre]] or [[Dumbass Has a Point|poorly thought out]] guesses being correct, there are times when he's more reasonable than usual, such as when he tells Vivi that people will die no matter what she does, and defeating Crocodile, rather than intercepting the rebels, is the surest way to stop the rebellion
* [[Spanner in
** More often than not, he never even went in intending to stop the villain or knowing the villain even had an evil plan. He is literally just an unexpected variable that happened to mess up the scheme because the villain did just ONE thing wrong. That thing is usually trying to preemptively eliminate him.
** Reversed with Blackbeard's master plan. Everything Luffy did just worked in favor of Blackbeard's plans, even speeding them up significantly, the most obvious example being the Impel Down incident.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: The most common victim of the Devil Fruit users in his crew. Of course, he couldn't swim even before getting his Devil Fruit powers, hence why Shanks's crew nicknamed him "Anchor".
* [[Super Mode]]: His [[Lightning Bruiser|Gear Second]] and [[Mighty Glacier|Gear Third]] techniques.
Line 277:
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: Has an infinite supply of it.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=226 "Band-aids heal everything."]
* [[How Dare You Die
* [[Improbable Age]]: One of the biggest badasses in the series is 19?
* [[Jerk
* {{spoiler|[[Ki Attacks]]}}: {{spoiler|As revealed by Luffy, he can now use Haki after the time-skip. We don't know yet which type of Haki he specializes in, though.}}
* [[The Lancer]]: To Luffy, again.
Line 317:
* [[The Southpaw]]: While it is clear that Zoro is ambidextrous, he seems to be predominantly left-handed. He keeps all of his swords sheathed next to his right hip, meaning it would be easier to pull a sword with his left hand. When wielding a single sword, Zoro usually uses his left hand. His single sword techniques have nearly always been executed with his left hand.
** Also, in Movie 5, in his fight against Saga, Saga stabbed Zoro's left hand after telling him that he had "lost his dominant sword hand in battle."
* [[Spell My Name
* [[The Stoic]]: He's a lot more reserved than most of the crew, often taking negative events without losing his composure. He's often the crew's voice of reason.
** [[Not So Stoic]]: However, [[The Comically Serious|this doesn't stop keep him from getting mad at]] [[Idiot Hero|Luffy]], [[Cowardly Lion|or]] [[Chivalrous Pervert|the]] others.
Line 340:
** Also, references to sushi. Like Oni Giri (Demon Slash).
* [[What Exactly Is His Job?]]: [[Fanon]] typically pegs him as the First Mate, but this has yet to be explicitly stated in-story.
* [[What You Are in
* [[Wisdom
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Often loses to main villains of the arc, especially Buggy, Arlong, Eneru, Oars and Moria, and Kuma in order to show how powerful they are.
** [[Worf Had the Flu]]: On the other hand, a good chunk of those opponents were immune to swords, to varying degrees. Buggy can't be cut at all because swords only disconnect his floating body parts. In Arlong's case, Zoro was recently really run through the gauntlet, had already been in a fight, and was using a type of sword he wasn't used to, so it was hardly surprising there. Eneru is made out of [[Shock and Awe|pure electricity]], so he couldn't be touched. Kuma doesn't count: he didn't just beat Zoro, he ''curbstomped the entire Straw Hat crew and everyone else.''
Line 375:
* [[Brown Eyes]]
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Usopp somewhat fixes this problem for her. She's not quite as strong as her crewmates, but she's got a respectable record, taking out Miss Double Finger from Baroque Works and Kalifa from CP9.
* [[Cat Fight]]: Gets into these all the time, but her fight with Kalifa in which Nami herself is scantily clad and getting rubbed all over [[Fan Service|by the buxom, fishnet-fond Kalifa using her]] [[It Runs
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Less than Chopper and Usopp, but she does not have the fear immunity that the rest of the crew have.
* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: Twice. The first was [http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/6/6e/W7.jpg in the Water 7 arc], when she didn't fight at all. The second was [http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/a/a6/Nami_PerfectClimaTact.JPG in the Enies Lobby arc], where she more than proved her worth as an [[Action Girl]].
Line 408:
* [[Ship Tease]]: She's been seen to be quite fond of Usopp from times to times. She wept after he left during the Enies Lobby arc and was the most adamant to defend him against Zoro when he came back. She also {{spoiler|buried his face in her chest when they meet each other after the [[Time Skip]]. Keep in mind she would have never do that for any other male of the crew.}}
* [[Shouldn't You Stop Stealing?]]
* [[Surrounded
* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Very important to her backstory, and hot.
* [[The Tease]]: Two words. HAPPINESS PUNCH. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc0KjmZjuXg Observe!]
Line 482:
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: In his introduction chapter.
* [[Never Bareheaded]]: He always has some kind of headgear on.
* [[Overshadowed
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Sogeking. Only Luffy and Chopper failed to realize that it was actually him.
* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Played straight. Usopp can operate or make wondrous inventions out of anything he can put his hands on, including a cannon (which he's never operated before), advanced fireworks, and the bizarre "Dials" of Skypiea (which he could never, ever, have seen or researched). His immediate understanding of any object in his possession would border on [[Heroes (TV series)|intuitive aptitude]] if he weren't so miserable at making repairs to the ship.
* [[Punny Name]]: It's a cross between "uso", the Japanese word for lie, and "[[Aesop]]".
* [[Running Gag]]: The "Rubber Band of Doom" attack, consisting of Usopp simply flicking a rubber band at the enemy. Whenever Usopp gets in a long string of attacks, expect the Rubber Band of Doom attack to show up right in the middle.
Line 502:
** {{spoiler|His tools and gadgets now include summoning man-eating plants. Not to mention he's actually pretty buff now}}.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Brats
** [[Drop the Hammer]]: The few attacks that don't involve his slingshots seem to be this; a slight subversion in that two of his hammers are anything but deadly. Although both of them seem to have some sort of psychological effect on the target.
Line 528:
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Beard]]
** [[Badass in
** [[Badass Normal]]: Not normal by our standards, but he's the only Strawhat to not use either a Devil Fruit or a weapon, so he's literally just going with the rest of the crew and fighting with his bare feet.
*** [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|During the timeskip he discovered Haki}}.
Line 544:
** '''~MELLORINE!!!~'''
*** For a while after the time skip: "IIIII NEEEEED LADYYYYY!"
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: It's strange to think that he once (in the manga at least) almost shot Nico Robin, albeit an instinctive reaction to Vivi being threatened. [[What Happened to
** He knows he can't hit her, so he grabbed a pistol hoping it would intimidate her. It doesn't work.
** As for the pistol, either it was just owned by the whole crew or Nami took it or had it given to her, because at one point (at least in the anime), Nami is seen holding it while preparing to fend off a possible attack.
Line 555:
* [[Cooking Duel]]: Gets into a few in anime [[Filler]]. [[Supreme Chef|He always wins, of course]].
* [[Dance Battler]]: Uses only his feet to fight, resulting in this on occasion.
* [[Defeat
* {{spoiler|1=[[Double Jump]]: After the [[Time Skip]], he can replicate CP9's Geppou, except he calls it "Sky Walk", and fly; that's what you get for running away from [[Creepy Crossdresser|Creepy Crossdressers]] [[Training From Hell|for two straight years]].}}
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Duval's slip of the tongue reveals he's got a crush on Sanji. And he had the drag queens on Okama Island hitting on him and dressing him up for two years. Poor guy.
Line 573:
** {{spoiler|Seems to be going back the other way. Both the [[Creepy Crossdresser|Newkamas]] and the Mermaids seem to like him a lot}}.
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: He seemed like this back when Nami was the only girl around he could try to woo most of the time. This changed once other ladies joined the crew and it became more and more apparent he'd hit on anything with shapely hips and a nice rack.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Usually when the ladies are in danger or he's sufficiently angry, he gets so [[Hot-Blooded]] that he actually [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PGMyg5hY04 bursts into flames] for comedic effect. It's also the author's explanation for him being able to pull off Diable Jambe, breaking the laws of physics in the process. [[It Runs
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: To sum up, {{spoiler|he was defeated by Kuma, sent on a island full of Drag Queens, is accidentally mistaken for a crossdresser by the inhabitants, chased along the whole island, forced to fight the "Queen" in dress and make up, humiliated and tricked into becoming a crossdresser himself. Thankfully, he got better.}}
** {{spoiler|Let's not forget how he was forced to admit that his poorly drawn Wanted Poster is actually him in order to get Ivankov to tell him about what happened to Luffy. This is such a monumental strain for him it actually results in ''[[Blood From the Mouth]]''.}}
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: Weaponized, via his ''Diable Jambe'' technique.
** {{spoiler|A Post-[[Time Skip]] cover seems to imply that he went to [[Playing
* [[Ironic Hell]]: Blasted to an island of {{spoiler|transvestites}} at the end of Sabaody and forced to join in. {{spoiler|Kuma}} must have a twisted sense of humor... Also see [[Training From Hell]] below.
* [[Jerk
* [[Jizzed in My Pants]]: Though with massive nosebleeds. After spending 2 years on an island full of transvestites, it's become rather easy'' to set him off.
* {{spoiler|[[Ki Attacks]]}}: {{spoiler|Post time-skip, he has awakened Haki. However, we still don't know which type he specializes in}}.
Line 595:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Usually calm and composed, he had an epic one {{spoiler|when he realize who exactly are the inhabitants of Momoiro.}}
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: His left eye has always been covered by his hair, though [[Word of God]] says that it's perfectly functional under there. He's even held a pair of binoculars up to it before. Later on, {{spoiler|he switched the bangs to the other side, revealing that both his eyebrows swirl in the same direction}}.
* [[Playing
** {{spoiler|Confirmed to be canon in chapter 646. Sanji, [[It Runs
* [[Princely Young Man]]: You could sort of consider him one, not to much by virtue of him thinking he's a prince, but the fact that he treats Nami and Robin like princesses and sort of thinks of himself as their knight.
* [[Punny Name]]: His name is a pun on the way the Japanese say "3 o'clock". However, it can also refer to a terrible, horrible incident that makes one want to avert their eyes and break out the [[Brain Bleach]]. Veeeerry appropriate...
Line 609:
* [[Taken for Granite]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. After his two years in "Hell", he is so susceptible to women's looks that just LOOKING at Hancock does this to him. {{spoiler|Shirahoshi as well.}}
* [[Team Chef]]: It's a good idea to not insult his cooking skills. He'll beat you up for it. And probably suspend your eating privileges.
* [[Throw the Dog
** Similarly, Oda ocassionally decides to spare him and let him at least touch a woman, and on two seperate occasions he has had his face stuffed in into a girl's breasts. Nosebleeds ensue.
* [[Training From Hell|Training From]] [[Ironic Hell]]: Sanji has become so fast that he can now [[Lightning Bruiser|move at an absurdly fast speed UNDERWATER while maintaining his superior kicking power]]. He got the skill from running away from transvestites on that scary island for two full years.
Line 653:
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: Just check out his introduction.
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Like Usopp, he can be a scaredy-cat at times. Once push comes into shove, however...
** {{spoiler|Not so much after the [[Time Skip]], it seems. He's already faced down a particularly vicious [[Everything's Even Worse
** {{spoiler|Luffy raising the fear level to one of the four emperors was too much even for the new Chopper.}}
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Being a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]], naturally he's voiced by women.
Line 664:
* [[Eat the Dog]]: Sanji jokes about him being their emergency rations.
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Brain Point gives him the power to scan for his enemy's weak points. [[Remembered I Could Fly|He doesn't use it much anymore]].
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Rudolph the Red
* [[Foreshadowing]]: A minor case at best, but the hat that he wears in the 10th movie is what he eventually wears after the [[Time Skip]].
* [[Genius Ditz]]: He's a doctor and really knows his craft, but he may be even more excitable than Luffy (he believes Usopp's tall tales, for one). {{spoiler|He also didn't seem to be able to know the Fake!Strawhats were fake right away.}}
Line 679:
* [[The Medic]]: His role in the crew as doctor.
** [[Combat Medic]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: His ''[[Top-Heavy Guy|Heavy Point]]'', ''[[Megaton Punch|Arm Point]]'' and ''[[Attack of the
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: When his mentor/father figure Dr. Hiriluk fell ill, Chopper tried to nurse him back to health. He only succeeded in getting him killed.
** Possibly [[Subverted]]: Apparently, Dr. Hiriluk ''knew'' the mushroom was poisonous, but used it anyway to hasten his death, as he had a terminal illness, in addition to making his adoptive "son" feel good about himself. Then he [[Heroic Sacrifice|blew himself up at Wapol's castle]] before the mushroom could kill him.
Line 703:
** {{spoiler|After the timeskip he can control it, albeit only for three minutes.}}
* [[Talking Animal]]: His Devil Fruit gives him the intelligence and abilities of a person. Maybe even moreso, considering [[Doogie Howser, M.D.|he was an experienced doctor]] [[Improbable Age|at age 15]].
* [[Tap
* [[Team Pet]]: What the Marines assume him to be, hence his ridiculously low bounty of 50 Berries. He'd probably have a much higher one if they took him seriously.
* [[Token Non-Human]]
Line 775:
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]: As the resident [[Badass Bookworm]] of the Straw Hats crew, she's often the one explaining the world of One Piece for [[Idiot Hero|Luffy's]] and consequently the audience's benefit.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Oh yeah. Wears somewhat [[Hell-Bent for Leather|fetishistic]] [[Of Corsets Sexy|outfits]]? Check. A tendency to end up bound (if not gagged)? Check. [[Go-Go Enslavement|Sporting]] [[Absolute Cleavage]] on a [[Violation of Common Sense|frigid island in the middle of a blizzard]]? Check. In all fairness, that last one wasn't really her fault or intentional.
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: Her most common use of her [[Touched
* [[Nerves of Steel]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: As Miss All Sunday, she always wore a white cowboy hat. She still occasionally does, or sometimes a purple one.
Line 811:
Adult Voice: [[Kazuki Yao]] (JP), [[Patrick Seitz]] (EN, Funi) }}
Franky, real name Cutty Flam, is the crew's shipwright. His eccentric behavior ([[Catch Phrase|SUUUPPERRR!!]]) and habit of wearing speedos lead many to brand him a pervert (which he takes pride in), yet he is loyal and protective of his friends, often calling them his "little bros". He's also prone to striking poses and breaking out into torrents of [[Manly Tears]] at the slightest provocation. Initially, he was the leader of the Franky Family, a gang of villainous dismantlers who provoked the Straw Hats' wrath by mugging Usopp and stealing most of their money. As his epithet implies, he is a cyborg known as ''BF-36'' ([[Fun
His past is tied to Nico Robin's, as while she can read the location of the superweapon Pluton, he actually owns the blueprints themselves, having been passed down among the shipwrights of Water 7 for generations. After being captured by the World Government along with Robin, he burned the blueprints and fought alongside the rest of the Straw Hats to save her, and eventually joined them after being blackmailed through theft of his speedos.
Line 854:
** His post-[[Time Skip]] body seems to modeled after [[Black Flag|Henry Rollins]].
** He was also created after Eiichiro Oda heard all of Kazuki Yao's voice work as Jango and Bon Clay, specifically designed to give him a permanent casting role.
* [[It Runs
** It may also serve as an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] and a joke on [[Steampunk]], since the most popular brand of cola is [[Real Life|Coke]] and [[wikipedia:Coke chr(28)fuelchr(29)|coke]] is a type of fuel that was used in steam engines.
* [[Only Known
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Abandoned by his pirate parents and adopted by Tom, who died when he was a young adult.
* [[Power Source]]: He's gotta have his Cola.
Line 877:
*** [[Rocket Punch]]: [[Calling Your Attacks|Strong Right!]]
*** [[Shoulder Cannon]]: Has a couple of 'em that [[Squick|dislocate his shoulder blades]]. {{spoiler|He gets a Shoulder Rocket Launcher and a more functional [[Shoulder Cannon]] after Time-skip.}}
** [[Fighting
** {{spoiler|[[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: After the time skip, he's developed this as a finishing move as a replacement to his Coup de Vent.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Styled after Ace Ventura's, even.
Line 888:
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Yuichi Nagashima]] (AKA: "Cho") (JP)}}
Brook is the crew's musician. He ate the Revive-Revive Fruit (''Yomi Yomi no Mi''), which enabled his spirit to reanimate his corpse after he died. [[Blessed
His dream is to reunite with Laboon, a whale who lives at the entrance to the Grand Line, whom the Straw Hats had previously met. Fifty years ago, the baby whale had befriended the pirate crew Brook was a part of, but they had to leave him behind as their travels became more dangerous. After his shadow was recovered from Gecko Moria, Brook happily accepted Luffy's invite to join the crew, pleased to have finally found new friends to call his own.
Line 905:
{{spoiler|'''Brook:''' Stop right there! Those are your men!! And you, what would you know?! It's not like you've died before! Die and be left as a grudge!!? That's absurd! Nothing is left behind! After death, living things are all just bones!!}} }}
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]
* [[Blessed
** Also, he can instantly heal himself by drinking milk. [[Rule of Funny|Yeah, right]].
*** Partly subverted, as he shows that he's not 100% recovered after making the above claim.
Line 911:
*** Plus, he doesn't really suffer the same effect of internal damage as the rest of the crew. Stabbing him in the eye just chips his skull, stabbing in the ribs notches them, and a blow to the gut does nothing unless it hits his spine. All three happen within what is probably no more than thirty seconds in universe during his fight to retrieve his shadow.
** {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], he's learned how to remove his soul from his body. Both the women's baths and getting messages to people when he's locked up are now within his reach.}}
*** The [[Time Skip]] further reveals that {{spoiler|there's an inexhaustible energy that allows his soul to continue living in the world. Depending on additional revelations in the future about what this means, his power may well border [[Cursed
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "[[Dirty Old Man|Excuse me Miss, may I see your panties?]]"
** "SKULL JOKE!!!"
Line 938:
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: Greatly subverted. As described by some of the [[The Aloner|other]] tropes [[Go Mad From the Isolation|listed]], Brook is not entirely well. As [[Gentle Giant|described]] by still [[Nice Guy|other]] tropes, he is also the [[The Pollyanna|least likely]] to even act like a jerk, let alone be particularly violent as pirates go.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Brook is old enough to be Franky’s grandfather or Luffy’s greatgrandfather!
* [[It Runs
** Acording to the [[Other Wiki]], his Devil Fruit allows him to function like a normal human despite not having the necessary organs to do so.
** He's finally given an explanation. It's not organs, or muscles, {{spoiler|it's his ''soul''}}!
Line 947:
* [[Nobody Touches the Hair]]: He'll try to prevent enemy combatants from contact with his hair at any cost. This is because being a skeleton, he considers it his only visible trait still the same from when he was still alive, and it won't grow back if it gets cut off again(and considering his sole purpose now is to meet up with [[Team Pet|Laboon]] again, he kinda needs Laboon to still be able to recognize him somehow). He protects it to such an extent that he loses his very first real fight in the series in order to avoid damage to his hair.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Brook is undoubtedly based on famous guitarist [http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/nov2008/6/0/677F22B0-D9A0-3C76-E668D24B6D686263.jpg Saul "Slash" Hudson.] The resemblance is more noticeable in his [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090801031852/onepiece/images/thumb/c/c3/Brooklivethumb.jpg/120px-Brooklivethumb.jpg younger appearances.]
* [[Officer and
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: Due to the effect of his Devil Fruit. {{spoiler|Even more so after the [[Time Skip]]}}.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: [[Tear Jerker|"If we're going to die,]] [[Heroic Spirit|we might as well]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|enjoy it..."]]
Line 966:
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: As with all Devil Fruit users, he sinks like a stone in water. Though one would assume, since he has no organs, that this wouldn't be as inconvenient for him, his body still seems to act as if it has the organs even if they don't physically exist. Like Chopper, he also forgets he can't swim, but he can at least run on the surface of the water.
* [[Undead]]: Of the [[Dem Bones]] variety.
* [[Upperclass Twit]]: Not really upper class, it's just a facade that he puts on, but he would not be out of place in ''[[
** Up for debate. His background implies he held the position of captain of an unnamed kingdom's army before becoming a pirate, so it's equally possible that he was upper class first and the twit part developed from being [[The Aloner]].
*** Hey, if he wasn't before, "Soul King" definitely is.
Line 976:
** [[Sword Cane]]: His primary weapon.
*** {{spoiler|During the timeskip, the longarms sharpened the blade and it was given the name Soul Solid.}}
* [[You Are Already Dead]]: His signature attack, ''Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri'', involves slicing his opponent once at [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|incomprehendible]] speeds (literally -- unlike [[Fist of the North Star
* [[Your Size May Vary]]: Brook is ridiculously tall, but sometimes sloppy animators forget this fact while others exaggerate it. In other words, his height depends on the art director of an episode.
