History Memes / OnePiece

* Global Warming[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]At the end of Chapter 1113, Vegapunk begins his message to the world by claiming the world will soon sink into the ocean. Cue memes claiming the true villain of the series was global warming.[[/labelnote]]
** Fishmen stay winning[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]Many noted that the Fishmen would be effectively unaffected by the world flooding, and thus have proclaimed them the overall winners of the series as a whole.[[/labelnote]]

* "ARRRgh I HATE N***RS!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]just an edited version of the first intro with Rogers speech with "ARRRgh I HATE N***RS! Shiver me timers!"[[/labelnote]]

* Robin plays the Bongcloud Attack[[labelnote:Explanation]]Chapter 1113 opens with a page of Robin playing chess with the other Straw Hats representing the pieces. Robin is moving the king, represented by Luffy, forward, which is typically strategically unsound outside of the endgame. However, the opening known as the Bongcloud Attack, which involves doing just that, has gained some popularity in speed games in recent years due to being unintuitive to play against.[[/labelnote]]

* Zoro is a racist/Zoro the Minority Hunter.[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/pz6fk7/zoro_is_racist/ Originating from a post as a parody of]] [[WildMassGuessing far-reaching fan speculations]] noting that a surprising number of Zoro's opponents were either dark-skinned or AmbiguouslyBrown. Hence the jokes about Zoro getting a powerup when he fights minorities or him refusing to fight white people. This reached a fever pitch after the release of the [[Series/OnePiece2023 live-action adaptation]], where Zoro's first scene is killing Mr. 7 -- who is played by a black actor. This meme was later combined with "base Lucci" after the release of Chapter 1110, with fans joking Zoro won because he realized leopards are from Africa.[[/labelnote]]

* Base Lucci[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]Since Chapter 1091, Zoro and Lucci have been fighting each other for quite a number of chapters offscreen while the major plot points are happening outside of Punk Records, and as a result, Zoro has been considered to be far weaker than he used to be if he's struggling this much against a previous foe (thus the term "base Lucci", though he's really fighting an Awakened Lucci). Not helping matters was Chapter 1105 where Nami sent Jimbe to help him ''on the fight'' and also to not get lost. The slander against Zoro ended in chapter 1110 when Zoro defeated Lucci before Jimbe arrived.[[/labelnote]]

* Robin is [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Mike Wazowski]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the way Creator/VizMedia formats the covers of collected volumes, Robin's face on Volumes 91 & 92 ended up getting covered by a big number. Leading to jokes and comparisons to Mike Wazowski's similar coverage in ''Monsters Inc.''.[[/labelnote]]

* Offscreen Offscreen No mi [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the fact that a lot of Blackbeard's awesome moments happen offscreen and onscreen he's unfortunate enough to get paired up with a powerhouse. Many fans started joking that Blackbeard is an InvincibleVillain as long as he's offscreen.[[/labelnote]]

** Buggy D. Clown [[labelnote:Explanation]] Buggy is a MemeticBadass, and his name (at least in English) easily turns into D. [[/labelnote]]

** Down D. Stairs [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kuina died from falling down the stairs, which has often been made fun of due to how ridiculously mundane and off-beat it is in a series where nearly everyone who dies does so in a DyingMomentOfAwesome. Therefore, it's become a joke among many fans that the stairs were actually an incredibly powerful combatant.[[/labelnote]]

*** Mihawk painting his sword [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fraud accusations led to fans creating a running joke about how Mihawk might have turned his blade (Yoru) black with paint instead of Haki. Steven John Ward, the actor playing Mihawk in the live-action adaptation, has even [[https://twitter.com/OP_Netflix_Fan/status/1683465572091297792?t=kEZYWs3YdlBmlhZglYhwzA&s=19 gotten in on the joke.]][[/labelnote]]

* I better keep my ass in this office!!! or im FINISHED❗️❗️[[labelnote:Explanation]]As a result of Zoro beating King, who fights with fire and magma powers, this meme is used to joke about or mock Akainu for wanting to avoid fighting Zoro at all costs, due to his own lava-based powers making him a supposed poor matchup for him. The meme is similarly used with other characters from various different series in jokes and powerscaling arguments, when one character takes note of how they are at an apparent severe disadvantage to another.[[/labelnote]]

* [[Anime/SailorMoon Gorosei Moon]][[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]Spawning from a [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fgorosei-looking-a-little-v0-hc0i75kr2zxb1.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D6292cd2dc9b10700df56bc65375096884f204e50 fanart]] connecting the planet-named Elders with Sailor Moon (who are also named after planets) shortly after their names were revealed, Chapter 1109 connected the meme even further when Jaygarcia Saturn contacted the other Gorosei to be summoned unto Egghead to stop Vegapunk from displaying his message, mirroring the teamwork that the Sailor Guardians would do against a villain of the week.[[/labelnote]]

* Krieg Posting[[labelnote:Explanation]]Commonly having been labeled the weakest villain from the East Blue saga, numerous people began hyping up Krieg as being the strongest pirate in the series, being able to solo extremely powerful characters such as Akainu and even his former losing matchups like Mihawk (which also ties into Fraudhawk as well.) He also becomes edited into the places of extremely powerful characters such as Whitebeard, Gear 5 Luffy, and Imu.[[/labelnote]]
