This event was reported in the newspaper and according to certain sources, Straw Hat Luffy has seven powerful pirate crews serving under his flag and he is the great captain of over 5000 subordinates in his fleet. With [[BigBrotherMentor the legacy of his brother Ace]] behind him, the fact that he is a [[BloodBrothers sworn brother]] of the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army has also become a hot topic across the world. With his [[MagneticHero extraordinary charisma and leadership]], he was able to convince the [[PuttingOnTheReich evil army of Germa]], the Sun Pirates, and the Fire Tank Pirates to follow his commands without delay. With his [[IdiotHero intelligence]], he [[LeeroyJenkins carefully planned]] this operation, and in the process, he managed to destroy the Queen's castle. His strength allowed him to defeat two commanders, worth over 800 million and over 1 billion respectively. Therefore, this incident was surely Straw Hat Luffy's victory!

--> '''Spandam''': What have you done?! Do you really think you can survive with the entire world as your enemy?!?!
--> '''Luffy''': YOU WANNA BET?!?! Robin, I haven't heard you say it. I want to hear it from your mouth... SAY YOU WANNA LIVE!!
--> '''Robin''': ''Live... I thought wishing for it was forbidden... Nobody would allow me that... If... If I'm allowed to declare my one selfish wish... Then I...'' I WANNA LIVE! TAKE ME BACK TO SEA TO WITH YOU!!!

--> '''Sanji''': I don't intend to run, I don't intend to be killed, I don't intend to forgive you.

---> ''Brook explaining to Franky why he continues to live.''

--> '''Zoro''': However in exchange! Please take my head instead of his! This I ask of you! It may not be worth as much right now, but this is the head of the man who will be the world's greatest swordsman! Surely thats enough! If you can't even protect your captain, then your ambition is WORTHLESS!! Luffy will be the King of The Pirates!!!

--> '''Zoro:''' Whatever you do, Luffy, you better not kiss his butt and tell him how happy you are to see him again. I won't let him come back unless he apologizes for what he did! Whatever Luffy and Usopp were thinking of when they started arguing... Who was right and who was wrong... that doesn't matter. When two men decide to have a duel... the only thing that matters is who wins. Usopp lost! And he left the ship on his own. Listen, all of you. This guy may be an idiot, but he's still the captain. We're better off without a crewmate who can't respect the captain when the going gets tough! A crew that doesn't respect their captain and a captain who doesn't deserve that respect... is destined to fail! I don't care how much you screw around under normal circumstances, but you're still the captain, and you rank above me. If you don't act like a captain at a time like this, I'll be the next one to leave this group!

--> '''Zoro:''' ... Hey, cook. Give me a hand for 10 seconds.
--> '''Sanji:''' That sounds like the right amount.

--> '''Luffy:''' ''(on the verge of crying)'' It's heavy...
--> '''Zoro:''' That is a captain's burden. Don't hesitate. Who are we going to rely on if you falter?

--> '''Zoro:''' Whatever the thoughts were in Luffy and Usopp's argument, and no matter who was correct, as long as the two decided to fight, the outcome was entrusted to the match. In the end, (Usopp) lost... and left us. ''(taps Luffy on the head)'' Listen, guys. Even though (Luffy)'s such an idiot, he is our captain. It's better not to have someone who cannot pay due respect to him when there's something in our crew...! '''A crew whose captain has lost his dignity will surely collapse!!!''' ''(to Luffy)'' It's none of my business that you usually joke around, but if you humiliate yourself yet still want to claim any pretense of being my leader, THEN I WILL BE THE ONE TO LEAVE THE CREW THIS TIME!!!

--> '''Mihawk:''' Youngster, what is your goal?
--> '''Luffy:''' Pirate King!
--> '''Mihawk:''' ''(smirks)'' That is a path of incomparable danger. Even more difficult than to surpass me.
--> '''Luffy:''' I don't care. I will become one anyway!

--> '''Mihawk:''' I met some interesting pirates. And that reminds me of that story you told me a long time ago. About one interesting kid from a little village. ''(holds up Luffy's first bounty poster)''

--> '''Shanks:''' ''(smirks)'' So you've come, Luffy!

--> '''Dragon:''' ''(laughs)'' Go! It is your destiny!
--> '''Smoker:''' Why are you helping them, Dragon?
--> '''Dragon:''' What is your reason for stopping them?

-->"A man's dream will never die!"

--> I'm sorry... for me to join a team filled with small fries like you will be a waste of my talents!

--> '''Nami:''' ''(to herself, in a panic)'' This is bad! I can't escape like this! Luffy, hurry up and take down Eneru! Wait... what if the ship falls from the sky when Eneru gets defeated? No, if we don't stop Eneru, the Sky Island will be gone for good! What should I do?! ''(aloud, to Luffy)'' What should we do, Luffy? We...
--> '''Luffy:''' ''(tosses Nami his hat)'' Quit yapping!

--> It's not some kind of special power, but he (Luffy) has the ability to make allies of everyone he meets. And that is the most fearsome power on these high seas!
