A major theme in One Piece is dreams. It's the motivating factor of all the Straw Hat Pirates, bar none. Many minor characters have an arc regarding dreams they have or used to have. Nearly all the villians have at least implied that their dreams have been broken in some way. It could be said that, along with ThePowerOfFriendship, One Piece runs on dreams. Let's go more in-depth, shall we?

*** A parent's relationship with their children: Big Mom raises her children enabling anti-social and brutal psychotic behavior amongst her children, and even eating the life-force of her own children in her psycho-candy binges and wanting to kill one of her children for not following through with a marriage alliance, while Whitebeard in contrast deeply loved all his surrogate children, forgiving Ace for all his constant attempts to kill him when he first recruited him forcibly into his crew and also forgave Squard for stabbing him. The only one of his family he hates is Blackbeard since he murdered another one of Whitebeard's sons and gave Ace over to the world government for execution.

*** Personality: Kaido is a PerpetualFrowner, has drinking problem and is a DeathSeeker (his EstablishingCharacterMoment is him attempting suicide) as well as an OmnicidalManiac. In contrast, Big Mom is a PerpetualSmiler, has special eating disorder and her EstablishingCharacterMoment is singing about a party showing her love of life.

*** Appearance: Kaido is huge, muscular, in general, an ideal male's figure dial UpToEleven. Big Mom is an obese Gonk and not beautiful by any standard

*** Epithet: both of their RedBaron are literal, NotHyperbole and quite a BadassBoast: Big Mom has 84 children, most of them are Badasses and her powerbase are built around marrying them off and thus making powerful characters part of her family; Kaido "of the Hundred Beasts"/"King of Beasts" has an Army of Beastmen (Zoan devil fruit users).

Dreams in ''One Piece'' serve a motivations and obstacles for many characters. Some have already clearly given up. Some never will. But the importance they play in the series is undeniable.

Now, what of the antagonists? Let's dive into their stories. It has been frequently shown that the antagonists either dismiss "silly" dreams, are living dreams that destroy the dreams of others, or have lost their dreams entirely. Crocodile is a good example of the latter example. It has been implied that Mr. 0 had once wished to become the King of the Pirates, before abandoning it entirely. He instead chose to sadistically crush the dreams of others, turning himself into an EvilCounterpart of Luffy. This also places him in the category of dismissing dreams, further separating him from Luffy. Now for the "bad" dreams: Enel dreamed of being God and became one. But getting bored with his initial dream, he then chose to destroy Skypeia and reach his promised land. Why this was a terrible idea bears no explanation. Warpol sought to become a tyrannical ruler who only thought of himself. Kuro wished to escape the pirate life, which while in itself not bad, used others a sacrificial pawns in his plan. Blackbeard is Blackbeard. None of his goals are good. Finally, we reach those who dismiss or destroy dreams. Bellamy, a believer in a era without dreams, actively mocks those who hope. He is thoroughly destroyed in a battle with one hit. A more effective "dismisser" would be the World Government. Disgusted by the dreams Gold Roger spawned from his speech, they fully attempt to crush the dreams of those pirates, along with the dreams of all of our heroes.

1). Some crew members have already achieved their dreams. The Thousand Sunny is by far one of the toughest ships out of what we've seen. It's possible Franky has already built the greatest ship out there. Usopp is already a great warrior and a huge advantage to the team. Sanji [[spoiler: may have found the "All-Blue", although we may need more information]]. All of these dreams may be difficult to reach, but they are attainable.
2). The crew's dreams have been influenced by outside sources. Zoro was influenced by Kuina, Usopp by his father, Sanji by Zeff, Robin by her mother, Franky by Tom, and Brook by Laboon. Others have been influenced by multiple sources. Chopper had been influenced by Dr. Hiriluk and Dr. Kureha. Luffy had been [[spoiler: pressured by his grandfather to become a marine]], before opting to become a pirate after the influence of Shanks, [[spoiler: Ace, and Sabo]]. Nami's passion for navigation was a natural one, but she lost all joy for it after being forced into working for Arlong. Thanks to Luffy's influence, however, she regained her love for it, along with a newfound freedom. In fact, going back to Robin's mother, ''she'' searched for the True History out of respect for her husband's dream. The crew is living the dream that many of their friends could never see.

*** Relationship to Luffy: Unlike Shanks, Whitebeard and Blackbeard, Big Mom & Kaido are pretty much stranger to Luffy, this leads to...

* NeutralGood: The Straw Hat Pirates.
* ChaoticGood: The Revolutionary Army.

* ChaoticNeutral: ??

* NeutralEvil: Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach.

** A foil also exists between Whitebeard and Big Mom particularly around the concept of family.
