* SuperDoc: The only reason Luffy survived Iva's so called "miracle cure" is due to Law's devil fruit. Not only does he have a medical degree but he knows exactly how to use it properly much to the relief of the other doctors who are sick and tired of Iva's ''appalling'' use of his devil fruit. That's how he endears himself to Shanks so quickly after he saved Luffy's life.

Not after the others neglectfully left them on their own in the New World with Roger's enemies gunning for them. That ship has sailed long ago and he's not above letting threatening them either to get the message across.

* ArrangedMarriage: PlayedForLaughs in Shanks case. According to him, apparently Big Mom tried to set him up with one of her daughters. Well- keyword: ''tried'' as he politely refused only for her to promptly offer Benn the same daughter not a minute later. Unsurprisingly, because of this, they try to avoid her ever since because he finds dealing with her rather exhausting and really doesn't want her getting any ideas about asking Yassop ''who would not take that well.'' As such he can't seem to wait for her to retire and Katakuri take her place.

* JokeAndReceive: Over the years, the D's have a earned themselves a ''bit'' of a reputation for being uh- ''utterly crazy'' with ''no common sense or self-preservation whatsoever.'' So, when Buggy first hears of Law's decision to go ''sightseeing'' around Marineford during the closest thing the decade has seen to an all-out Pirate/Marine war. His mind immediately compared his actions to the D's. Unbeknownst to him, he doesn't realize exactly how right he really was at the time.
-->'''Buggy [Narration]:''' ''He what?!'' The supernova had decided to just... cruise around Marineford during the closest thing this decade has seen to an all-out Pirate/Marine war? To ''sightsee?'' What the ''hell'' is wrong with this generation? Did they all get their common sense surgically removed at birth or something? That’s D-Level Stupidity, and yes, the capital is necessary!

** Whitebeard turned out to be one as he knew he was slowly dying and before he could become a burden on his crew, he attempted to go out fighting alongside his children to save a son. As Buggy put it, that would have been a perfect way to end his legacy considering he always valued family more then gold
but even so he was ''far'' from happy about that since it reminded him too much of what his old captain pulled. Buggy went as far to call it 'pulling a Roger' and even went as far to yell at him for putting his crew though that.

This means he's vastly more vulnerable to Haki and seastone bullets, both of which Buggy uses to kill Akainu in under a minute. Likewise, Kizaru's ability to teleport and shoot hyperfast lasers does nothing against a Haki-coated knife shoved through his throat.]]
** The one member of the Rogers that Shanks is even remotely polite to is Elena, who lives on a Sky Island. This meant she was LockedOutOfTheLoop ''completely'' compared to the rest of the Rogers who ignored Buggy and Shanks despite being able to keep in contact. That said, Shanks doesn't consider this excuse good enough to exclude her from his anger.
