History OnePiece / TropesAToB

** Monkey D. Luffy lives on this trope. Quite possibly the best example of this is when he dived right into the BigBad [[PsychoElectro God Eneru's]] ultimate attack: Raigou, [[PersonOfMassDestruction which Eneru was going to use to annihilate the whole of Skypeia]]. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Because Eneru forged a massive golden orb onto his arm]], and Luffy was throwing his punches around him, the golden orb discharged the electrical currents and destabilized the ultimate attack, saving all of Skypeia. WordOfGod claims Luffy had no idea exactly what he was doing.

** Nico Robin was first portrayed this way, but actually undermined the BigBad at every turn, [[HeelFaceTurn then joined the Straw Hats at the end]].

** Hody Jones from the Fish-Man Island arc started out as a fan of earlier BigBad Arlong before becoming one himself.

** [[BigBad Spandam]] has a sword that ate a Devil Fruit, and Mr. 4 had a gun that ate one. Both of these have the same explanation which has been touched upon but not yet fully explained -- somehow Dr. Vegapunk managed to figure out how to get inanimate objects to "eat" Devil Fruits. This may be expanded upon in the future.

* BigBadEnsemble: Due to the saga/arc formula, it took all the way up to Marineford before we had any idea who the best contenders for primary antagonists could be. The most likely candidates for the series as a whole are [[TheChessmaster Marshall D. Teach]], better known as [[EvilCounterpart Blackbeard]], who became one of the [[EliteFour Four Emperors]] after killing Whitebeard and usurping his territory; [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Fleet Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki]], leader of the Marines and the one responsible for killing Ace, Luffy's brother; and [[spoiler:Imu, the mysterious ShadowDictator of the World Government and the only person who can order the Five Elders around]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [[DeathSeeker Kaido]] and [[ImAHumanitarian Big Mom]], two other members of the Four Emperors, while they both separately played the role of GreaterScopeVillain through several arcs in the New World, the final saga of the series begins [[DiscOneFinalBoss only after]] [[spoiler:they're both defeated]] by the end of Wano, thereafter leaving the aforementioned three as the series' proper villain ensemble.
* TheBigBadShuffle: As the Final Saga of the series unfolds, we gradually learn the top contenders for the primary villain role. First up, there's Marshall D. Teach, aka Blackbeard, who rose to power as one of the Four Emperors after killing Whitebeard and taking over his territory by capturing Ace, Luffy's brother, thus instigating the Marineford conflict. Next on the list is Fleet Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki, the head of the Marine forces, who is responsible for Ace's death. Finally, there's Imu, the mysterious true leader of the World Government who wields authority over the Five Elders. Who will emerge victorious in the end is yet to be revealed.
* BigBadWannabe: Entirely determined by events outside of his control, Buggy the Clown has become this in the Impel Down and Marineford arcs. The World Government assumes that he's Four Emperors level because he was on Gol D. Roger's crew along with Shanks, an actual Emperor]]. Every action he takes will inevitably be interpreted by the followers he picked up at Impel Down as part of some massively elaborate gambit. It doesn't help that after both Luffy's and Buggy's crews enter the Grand Line, nearly everything that Buggy does ends up helping the Straw Hats out in some way. [[spoiler:Post-Timeskip, the farce escalated to such a point that Buggy's now one of the Seven Warlords.]]

** In the same battle, the BigBad Gecko Moria took in ''a thousand shadows'' and Luffy simply went into Gear Second, made Moria spit some of the shadows out, before using Gear Third on top of it and knocking him into the mast, defeating him. Using either one of the Gears puts great strain on him, so you can imagine how stacking them worked out.

* BloodBrothers: [[spoiler: When Luffy, Ace, and Sabo were kids, they shared a drink together. Because of some tradition, this meant that they were all now brothers. This explains why Luffy always called Ace his older brother.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: Instead of relying on filler arcs to provide padding, the anime eventually took to following a 1:1 chapter/episode pacing, expanding on and lengthening the already-present material. It also fully covered the fates of the other eight Straw Hats following [[spoiler:their defeat by Kuma]] presented while Luffy was traveling to Impel Down.

* AlasPoorVillain: The loss of his crew turned [[spoiler:Omatsuri]] to the most [[spoiler:movie]] evil character so far, yet you consider how much he missed his crew and tried to [[spoiler:revive them even as hollow shells]] and how his voice started cracking at the end as he regretted the loss of his comrades. It's very sad.
* TheAlcatraz: Welcome to Impel Down, the most secure prison on the planet and home to its deadliest criminals. Modeled after the Buddhist hell, with multiple levels of torture and imprisonment, each more horrible than the last. Don't even think of escape, convicts, as this prison is built in the Calm Belt, entirely underwater, and surrounded by sea monsters. There's also a secret sixth level, made especially for criminals [[TailorMadePrison too dangerous to exist]], but its existence remains unknown to the public. [[spoiler:Until Blackbeard springs a good chunk of the population of Level Six and adds several of the worst criminals ever to his crew.]] So secure is Impel Down, one character went through the lengthy process of joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea ''just to get in'', while the other had to practically crawl up a Warlord's ass.

* AloofOlderBrother: Flashbacks reveal that [[spoiler:Ace]] was, shockingly, one in the past.

** 99% of the Pirates are really, really ''monsters''. It's Luffy and crew whom are some of the very ''few'' exceptions, which makes [[spoiler:Luffy's liberation of prisoners in Impel Down a [[FridgeHorror very horrible thing to do]]]].

** If an animal eats a Zoan fruit corresponding to its own species, it apparently "enlightens" them. [[spoiler:This case appears in Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who ate a Mythical Zoan, Human Human Fruit, Model: Great Buddha.]]

** Whitebeard does this with ''swords'', cannonballs, and anything else the Marines throw at him. It eventually takes the entirety of the [[spoiler:Blackbeard Pirates]] attacking in tandem to take him down. ''And he still dies standing up.''

* ArtStyleDissonance: Even with the zany, cartoony art style, the series can get pretty dark at times. Case in point, [[spoiler:Ace and Whitebeard's deaths]].

** For some (or perhaps many), [[spoiler:Luffy and Ace at Marineford. Unfortunately, not for long enough... and never to be seen again]].

** A flashback during the Skypiea arc reveals that [[spoiler:Montblanc Norland]] was an awesome example in his day as well.

** Shanks and his men qualify for ''stopping a effing war'' by showing up and giving everybody involved a stern talking-to.

** [[spoiler:Capone "Gane" Bege]] always wears a suit and gets all of his crew to do so too. He even made the whole Straw Hat crew wash up and put on nice clothes before discussing his plan to [[spoiler:take down Big Mom]] with them.

** Luffy was thrown to a pool by Arlong (rescued by Nojiko, Genzo, and Sanji), nearly executed by Buggy twice (saved by Nami and Zoro, and then by a lucky flash of lightning), thrown to a seastone cell with the rest of the crew by Crocodile (saved by Vivi and Sanji), buried alive by, again, Crocodile (rescued by [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal one]] of his [[HighHeelFaceTurn subordinates]]) and he was also rescued by Law after he [[spoiler: lost the will to fight or live after Ace's death]].

** Luffy and Ace also go through this ''badly'' in Impel Down and Marineford, respectively. Luffy gets better with help from Bon Clay, Mr. 3, Buggy, Crocodile, Mr. 1, Ivankov, Jimbei, and numerous others. [[spoiler:[[KilledOffForReal Ace doesn't.]]]]

** Blackbeard is first introduced as a rather jolly BoisterousBruiser and AffablyEvil type. Fast forward to the Marineford battle where he [[spoiler: gleefully and brutally murders Whitebeard who he once called "father" for twenty years and steals Whitebeard's Devil Fruit abilities, revealing himself to be always a power-hungry megalomaniac]].

* BastardAngst: Ace is the bastard son of [[spoiler: Pirate King Gold Roger]], and as such he has a big stigma put on him. All his life he always wonders whether he deserves to be born because of this.

** Blackbeard is the man with a plan. [[spoiler:He successfully defeats and captures Ace and hands him over to the Marines, earning him the title of Warlord of the Sea]]. Knowing [[spoiler:Whitebeard's familial protectiveness]], [[DisasterDominoes a chain of events]] would lead up to [[spoiler: a war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines at Marineford, which gave him a clear opening to break into Impel Down and recruit the most dangerous and powerful prisoners into his crew]].\\\
But the gambit doesn't stop there; after that part's success, [[spoiler:he takes his crew to Marineford, where he knew Whitebeard would have been worn down from taking on the World Government's full force. He then has his entire crew attack Whitebeard, finally killing him, and then proceeds to steal the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit from him. And as if his threat level wasn't already up to eleven with that move, he then proceeds to usurp Whitebeard's territories and titles, both that of the Strongest Man in the World and that of one of the Four Emperors]]. The bottom line? A monster pulled off a successful Batman Gambit, and has officially become the series' BigBad.

*** Bartholomew Kuma can get rid of anyone just by touching them with his hand, but [[spoiler:spared the Straw Hats ''twice'', even though he had orders to kill them the first time, and he's supposedly the Warlord who's most loyal to the World Government]].

* BellyDancer:
** In the Alabasta arc, Vivi asks [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] to get all of them some clothes like the local citizens, so they won't stand out as much. The boys all got burkas. The girls? Dancing Girl Outfits. His excuse was that 'dancing girls are citizens too!' If Nami hadn't liked it so much, he would probably be lacking a few vital organs.
** Weaponized later by [[ActionGirl Sandersonia's]] Snake Dance, which allows her to use belly dance-like motions [[spoiler: and Color of Observation Haki]] to dodge incoming blows.
** Nami and Robin's slave outfits in ''[[Recap/OnePieceTVSP11HeartofGold Heart of Gold]]'' are ''very'' close to what a dancer would wear.
* BequeathedPower: Whenever a Devil Fruit user dies, their powers are reborn into a new Devil Fruit, which is the case of [[spoiler:Ace's Flame Flame Fruit]]. It is implied that a Devil Fruit's power will go into the nearest intact Fruit(s).

** Blackbeard [[spoiler: has ''two'' Devil Fruit powers and hasn't exploded]].

** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in Squad's case, since he only used it to [[spoiler:stab the shit out of Whitebeard]].

*** Blackbeard sets the war between the Marines and Whitebeard in motion by kidnapping Ace in order to become a Warlord. He proceeds to take advantage of the Impel Down breakout to recruit powerful pirates onto his crew, [[spoiler: and kills Whitebeard at the climax of the Marineford arc. After the time-skip, he becomes one of the Four Emperors.]]
*** [[GeneralRipper Akainu]] is a Marine Admiral who, while technically under the command of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, takes the most ruthless and actively antagonistic role in the war by [[spoiler: killing Ace after he's rescued from execution. After the time-skip and Sengoku's retirement he becomes the new Fleet Admiral, sending Marines after the Straw Hats whenever he can. So far, he's the only foe to hand Luffy so crushing a defeat that it broke his will.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: Due to the saga/arc formula, it took all the way up to Marineford before we had any idea who the best contenders for primary antagonists could be. The most likely candidates for the series as a whole are [[TheChessmaster Marshall D. Teach]], better known as [[EvilCounterpart Blackbeard]], who became one of the [[EliteFour Four Emperors]] after killing [[spoiler:Whitebeard]] and usurping his territory; [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Fleet Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki]], leader of the Marines and the one responsible for [[spoiler:killing Ace, [[TheHero Luffy]]'s brother]]; and [[spoiler:Imu, the mysterious ShadowDictator of the World Government and the only person who can order the Five Elders around]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [[DeathSeeker Kaido]] and [[ImAHumanitarian Big Mom]], two other members of the Four Emperors, while they both separately played the role of GreaterScopeVillain through several arcs in the New World, the final saga of the series begins [[DiscOneFinalBoss only after]] [[spoiler:they're both defeated]] by the end of Wano, thereafter leaving the aforementioned three as the series' proper villain ensemble.
* BigBadWannabe: Entirely determined by events outside of his control, [[spoiler:Buggy the Clown]] has become this in the Impel Down and Marineford arcs. The World Government assumes that he's Four Emperors level because [[spoiler:he was on Gold Roger's crew along with Shanks, an actual Emperor]]. Every action he takes will inevitably be interpreted by the followers he picked up at Impel Down as part of some massively elaborate gambit. It doesn't help that after both Luffy's and Buggy's crews enter the Grand Line, nearly everything that Buggy does ends up helping the Straw Hats out in some way. [[spoiler:Post-Timeskip, the farce escalated to such a point that Buggy's now one of the Seven Warlords.]]

** At Enies Lobby, [[spoiler:Merry]] saves the crew when they get trapped between Marine battleships. That's right, in ''One Piece'' [[spoiler:a ''boat'' can be this trope]].
** In Chapter 578, Trafalgar Law [[spoiler:pops up at Marineford to save Luffy's life]]. Moments later, [[spoiler:Shanks steals Law's thunder by '''ending the whole war without firing a shot''']].

* BigNever: Uttered by pretty much everyone aside from Luffy in Thriller Bark, when [[spoiler: Kuma offered to let them live if they handed Luffy over]].

* BillingDisplacement: InUniverse example: [[spoiler:after escaping from Impel Down, the Marine holds Luffy and [[LaughablyEvil Buggy]] responsible -- completely ignoring the two former Warlords that were involved]].

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The ending of Marineford. Ace and Whitebeard have been killed, Luffy stays without his nakama for about two years (though it was his choice), and the world is now under a new age of even more piracy. Despite this, Luffy and his crew resolve to continue their adventure with high spirits and never give up on their dreams.]]
* BizarroElements: Due to [[WordOfGod Oda]] disallowing the creation of any Devil Fruit power he plans on using in the future, the anime team has to get pretty creative with making up Logia Fruit elements for their fillers. Some of their gems include the "Pasa Pasa no Mi" (Paper) and the Ame-Ame Fruit ("Ame Ame no Mi", Candy syrup). These elements were made canon by Charlotte Katakuri and his Mochi-Mochi Fruit ("Mochi Mochi no Mi"), abit as a "Special Paramecia".

* BlankWhiteEyes: Happens to every villain who has been deafeated by Luffy and won't be getting back up again (for the moment). Also happens to Luffy when [[spoiler:he realizes that Ace died right in front of him.]]

** [[spoiler:Coby]] spontaneously ends up developing Haki. Observation Haki, to be specific, meaning he can hear voices of people from far away and know exactly what they're doing. Cool, right?... except he develops it right in the middle of [[spoiler:the Whitebeard War, meaning his first experience with it is masses of people ''dying''. And he hears every single one]]. Oh... and [[PowerIncontinence he can't control it yet]], meaning he'll keep [[spoiler:hearing people's voices and pain]] until he learns to turn it off.

** The Japanese anime also did this occasionally, with respect to the manga. When Luffy gets hit by Jango's chakram, it originally goes straight [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat into the back of his head]]; the anime changes this into a [[CutlassBetweenTheTeeth mouth catch]] that slightly cuts the corners of his lips. Bellemere is [[spoiler:shot ''between the eyes'']] in the manga, while the anime has her [[spoiler:shot in the chest]]. There are various other incidences as well, though they're relatively minor.

** There were two major bowdlerizations done in the Marineford Arc: [[spoiler:when Ace was given the killing blow from Akainu, the carnage done to his torso was heavily reduced to a blank hole and much less blood. Also, most importantly, while Whitebeard got half of his face blown off from one of Akainu's attacks in the manga, the anime changed it to losing half of his moustache.]] Understandably, if the anime kept this gorey detail in, it would definitely change the rating closer to those of darker anime.

** The Impel Down and Marineford arcs are all one long and painful line of BreakTheCutie for [[spoiler:Luffy]].

** Nami [[spoiler:left with the ''Going Merry'' to try and pay off her debt to Arlong.]]
** When Robin leaves the crew and they go after her [[spoiler:in the [=CP9=] arc. She was coerced into leaving in exchange for keeping the Straw Hats safe.]]
** [[spoiler:Earlier in the [=CP9=] arc, Usopp leaves the crew when he fights Luffy over what should be done with the crippled ''Going Merry''. It was a brutal fight with Usopp losing. Later at the end of the arc, after spending much of the time fighting with the crew under a pseudonym, he hopes to be EasilyForgiven with him saying nothing about his actions, but Zoro puts his foot down to stop it as unlike what Robin went through, it was his choice. Until he apologizes, he shouldn't be allowed back in the crew.]]

** There's a RunningGag about Sanji's wanted poster not resembling him in the least. Then, [[spoiler:they encounter Duval, a poor sap who perfectly resembles the poster, and has been pursued by bounty hunters due to mistaken identity.]] In Chapter 495, it's revealed he was born that way.

** Sanji has quite a problem with his wanted poster. [[spoiler:His wanted poster picture is a hand drawn piece of crap]], [[spoiler:someone who looks ''JUST LIKE THE PICTURE'' tries to kill him because of it]], not to mention [[spoiler:getting blasted to an island of [[LaserGuidedKarma TRANSVESTITES]] -- oh, and later he gets [[WholesomeCrossdresser turned into one]]]].

* ActionGirl: Due to the sheer scale of the cast, there are quite a lot of women who kick ass. Among the most promiment are Hancock, queen of the Kuja pirates which are an all-female crew, Robin, Nami, Big Mom one of the Yonkou... and Iva and Inazuma when they're in a "feminine mood".

** Yonko Big Mom's entire pirate fleet. She has 84 children from 43 husbands. She even tries to marry one of her daughters to [[spoiler:Vinsmoke Sanji]] to get her hands on [[spoiler:the Vinsmoke family's technology and empire]].

* AmphibianAssault: In the Punk Hazard arc, the ArcVillain Caesar Clown has a pet in form of a giant salamander-like creature he calls "Smiley". In a twist, it's a living blob of poisonous substance that takes form of a giant salamander after it "eats" the Devil Fruit, Sala-Sala no Mi Model Axolotl. Not only it can breath poisonous gases, it can shoot out chemical globs out of its body that are extremely flammable.

* AwesomenessIsAForce: Essentially, Haoshoku Haki (or Conqueror's Haki) that the likes of Rayleigh, Hancock, Luffy possess is literally them manifesting their inner strength of character, immense will and charisma, to dominate others which mostly translates into them choking and going unconscious from sheer fear. People with this Haki are really stubborn, really don't like to be told how they should do things (unless it comes from their TrueCompanions) and do whatever they want, whenever they want. It's treated in-universe as a big OOCIsSeriousBusiness moment if a known holder of Haoshoku Haki apologises or begs for something.

* BadassFamily: The Monkey D. clan. Well Garp is a Vice-Admiral who was a rival to Gol D. Roger, his son is the most wanted man in the world, and his grandsons are some of the strongest pirate barring the Yonkou in the world; this might extend to other [=Ds=] like Saul and Teach as well.

* BewareTheSkullBase: The island of Hachinosu (Pirate Island) where the most prominent feature is a huge rockformation in the shape of a skull, with a carving that makes it look like the skull is wearing a bandanna (including a knot). This is a subverted case however, as the island is a place of festivity and fun for pirates, described as their paradise. But it's also part of the Blackbeard pirate crews' territory which is one of the Yonko, the strongest crews in the One Piece world. It is however played absolutely straight when the islands' history is taken into account, as it was the place where the legendary pirate crew the Rocks Pirates were formed, which was so dangerous and destructive that it posed a legitimate threat to the World Government. For this reason, the crew was struck from all documents and their very existence hidden from the world.

* BizarroElements: Due to [[WordOfGod Oda]] disallowing the creation of any Devil Fruit power he plans on using in the future, the anime team has to get pretty creative with making up Logia Fruit elements for their fillers. Some of their gems include the "Pasa Pasa no Mi" (Paper) and the Ame Ame no Mi (Candy syrup). These elements were made canon by Charlotte Katakuri and his "Mochi Mochi no Mi", abit as a "Special Paramecia".

*** Anime/ClockworkIslandAdventure: [[MadeOfDiamond Bear King]], who kidnaps Nami and tries [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe forcing her to marry him]].

*** Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld: [[PowerFloats "Golden Lion" Shiki]], captain of the Golden Lion Pirates and a former Impel Down inmate who plans on building an army of evolved beasts to TakeOverTheWorld. He also kidnaps Nami at the start of the film to [[JoinOrDie make her his navigator]].

* {{Bishonen}}:
** Parodied with Sanji's [[GratuitousFrench Parage Shot]], which is capable of literally beating people pretty. Iron Mask Duval was grateful; Wanze of [=CP7=] was not.
** Sanji himself is also a [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] example, as he's always had facial hair of some sort; he falls more in line with the American version of the trope, PrettyBoy. His brother Ichiji, however, is a straight example.
** In the anime, we get to see Luffy from Hancock's point of view, where he is very, ''very'' {{Bishounen}}, complete with [[BishieSparkle sparkles]].
** As of the Dressrosa arc, we got the nobleman pirate Cavendish.

* AccidentalMarriage: Hancock has [[ShippingGoggles twice mistaken otherwise innocuous actions on Luffy's part]] as a sign that they are married. Nyon sets the record straight. Luffy himself seems to finally get it post-timeskip, [[spoiler:enough to tell her he isn't marrying her (not that it has any effect)]].

** Whole Cake Island Saga: [[EvilMatriarch Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin]] of the Four Emperors has Sanji kidnapped in order to trick the Germa 66 into a trap disguised as wedding alliance. After the Straw Hats try to assassinate her ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and ruin the wedding cake]]) she pursues them to Wano for revenge.

*** Anime/OnePieceFilmGold: [[EvilOverlord Gild Tesoro]], the owner of the casino city Gran Tesoro.

%%*** Anime/OnePieceFilmGold: [[EvilOverlord Glid Tesoro]], the owner of the casino city Gran Tesoro.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Plenty of these.
** Zoro gets two in the Warship Island Arc. The first has him remark that he can cut through anything, conflicting with an important plot point where Zoro can't cut steel. The other has the crew meeting a dragon, making Zoro's claim of "not believing in dragons" during Thriller Bark seem silly.
*** Zoro's claim about dragons is made even funnier, when in ''VideoGame/OnePieceUnlimitedCruise'', Zoro's animal themed costume is one of a dragon.
*** [[spoiler:Made even worse now since the crew has run into an actual dragon. And they '''ATE IT''']].
** Similarly, after the timeskip, Chopper is shown eating a Rumble Ball when transforming into one of his extra forms, since the anime team assumed Oda made a mistake by not showing this is the manga. The Fish-Man Island arc later reveals that Chopper now only needs to use the Rumble Ball to access his Monster Point form.
** During Fish-Man Island, Hody Jones' entire reason for hating humans is [[spoiler: nothing but racism, as humans never actually did anything to him]]. This loses meaning in the anime due to a filler scene where [[spoiler: Arlong saves a young Hody from a bunch of humans]].
** In Dressrosa, the audience learns via flashback that Law's [[spoiler:full name is Trafalgar D. Water Law]]. In the anime, [[spoiler:Doflamingo at one point calls him by this name, even though Law never told it to him (he just told Doflamingo that he was a "D" as well; Doffy had no way of knowing about the "Water" in his name)]].

*** [[GeneralRipper Akainu]] is a Marine Admiral who, while technically under the command of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, takes the most ruthless and actively antagonistic role in the war by [[spoiler: killing Ace after he's rescued from execution. After the time-skip and Sengoku's retirement he becomes the new Fleet Admiral.]]

** Blackbeard's crew are a delightfully evil example, recruiting not only ''four'' global terrorists but also the [[AxCrazy insane]] swordsman who once guarded them.
