** [[spoiler:Hagoromo did not only seal the Elemental Kingdoms from the world to hide Kaguya's powers, but also casting an illusion on the Sun and making navigation very difficult on the Grandline in order to ensure no one find the ruins of Kaguya's kingdom.]]

** [[spoiler:Hagoromo (aka the "Sage of Six Paths") and "Joy Boy" are the same person.]]

** [[spoiler:Hagoromo and "Joy Boy" are the same person.]]

** Sanji always has his badly doodled wanted poster drawn. Despite the fact he was briefly captured by the Marines and had his photo taken, which becomes badly blurry, as Admiral Sengoku pointed this out. This is justified because the negatives were damaged during Naruto's clone-rampage.
** Despite [[spoiler:Kisame's intervention]], Duval is still pissed about Sanji and attacked him at Sabody, where he eventually get his new face.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Gol D. Roger's mercy of sparing Tobi's life led to the latter founding Akatsuki and their attempt to finding the Divine Fruit.]]

* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler: Gol D. Roger refused to kill Tobi because he was possessing a brain-dead child.]]

* SaveTheVillain: Due to sympathy [[spoiler:and the fact Tobi is possessing a brain-dead kid]], [[spoiler:Gol D. Roger]] refused to kill [[spoiler:Tobi]].

* KilledOffForReal: Aside from Madara being killed in the very beginning of the story, many prominent characters dies and many of whom are attributed to the actions of Akatsuki. In chronological order: [[spoiler:Bellamy, Enel, Sasori, Spandam, Deidara, '''Blackbeard''', Gecko Moria, Saint Charloss, and '''Akainu'''.]]

* InsultBackfire: Aokiji's remark on Sasuke, Naruto, and Zoro's fire attack.
-->"Let's see if you're as hot as the last guy who tried to make me melt! Wait, let me rephrase th-"

** The Enies Lobby arc goes very differently. Due to Akatsuki garnering attention from the World Government, they confronted Aokiji after the Davy Back Fight in which it led to the latter capturing the Strawhats after he incorrectly deem Robin to be colluding with Akatsuki and wasn't willing to take the chance of letting her go. This expedite Cipher Pol 9 to capture Franky ahead of schedule, but leaving Blueno at Water 7 as a failsafe.

** The Going Merry, as in canon, cannot go on with the Strawhats. But under different circumstances [[spoiler:as it was very badly damaged by Deidara and overgrown with trees thanks to Chopper's chakra to keeping it afloat. However, it is prevented from being burn at Naruto's urging and it is turned into a mangrove-like, cherry blossom forest.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Due to Gol D. Roger's arrival in the Elemental Kingdoms, Madara is killed and without him Uchiha Obito is rendered brain dead despite Tobi's efforts. So Tobi absorbed Obito's body into his own. Roger also encountered a young Itachi and inspired him about the outside world, which in turn led him to die against Root after refusing to betray the Uchiha clan, and thus only a handful of the clan survived. The Third Hokage punished Root for their actions and Danzou was forced to join Akatsuki.

** The Going Merry, as in canon, cannot go on with the Strawhats. But under different circumstances [[spoiler:as it was very badly damaged by Deidara and overgrown with trees thanks to Chopper's chakra to keeping it afloat. However, it is prevented from being burn at Naruto's urging argued as it is turned into a mangrove-like, cherry blossom forest.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Deidara tries to take out everyone on the Going Merry. But it doesn't work after the Strawhats and Naruto fired a impromptu ''railgun'' with Nami's Clima-Tact at Deidar.]]

** Orochimaru didn't defect from Akatsuki. He did planned on consider leaving but reconsidered it after capturing a Devil Fruit user and hearing Tobi's plan to travel the Grand Line made his stay in the group worthwhile.

** [[spoiler:Blackbeard tries to go against Tobi and it ends with his soul taken away by the latter.]]

** Akatsuki's journey in the Grand Line are ahead of the Strawhats that they warrant the attention of the World Government. Due to Akatsuki's confrontation with Aokiji, the Strawhats are captured on Long Ring Island by the admiral after he incorrectly deem Robin to be colluding with Akatsuki and wasn't willing to take the chance of letting her go. This also expedite Cipher Pol 9 to capture Franky at the same time and preventing the initial hostility between the Strawhats and Franky Family.

** Akatsuki's stop at Thriller Bark led to [[spoiler:the death of Gecko Moria and Akainu, and the destruction of the entire mobile island, leading to Moria's captured shadows returning to their owners, including Brook. The Strawhats completely skip Thriller Bark while recruiting Brook into their crew. Also, Danzou claims [[CoolSword Shusui]].]]

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Akatsuki's adventures on Skypeia and Long Ring Island, where they fought Enel, the Foxy Pirates and Aokiji respectively. Hidan acted as a surrogate storyteller on making a crude tale on what Akatsuki did in Skypeia and we are treated a flashback of Akatsuki's final battle with Enel. The Strawhats discover the devastating aftermath of Foxy's Davy Back Fight and see a poster of what the Foxy Pirates went up against who. For example, Foxy vs. ''Kakuzu''.

* MysteriousPast: Kisame never gave any thought of ''what'' he is and where he came from. All he remembers from his early life was being an infant washed up on the shores of the Land of the Mist. That is until his first encounter with a Fishman made him to start to realize that he is a Merfolk likely hail from Fishman Island.
