* InevitablyBrokenRule: It is established that messing with a Celestial Dragon in any way for any reason is like signing your own death warrant, as they can call someone as powerful as a Navy Admiral on you. You can count on ''someone'' eventually doing so, and that someone turns out to be Luffy. Zoro would have done so earlier if not for Bonney stopping him before she warns him,even if it was in self-defense.

In a way, both are right and the backstory of the Sun Pirates will be revealed in [[Recap/OnePieceAmazonLilyArc the following arc]], and play a central part to [[Recap/OnePieceFishManIslandArc the Fishman Island arc]].

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Kizaru.

to:

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Kizaru.Kizaru is a laidback carefree man who likes to take it easy. He's also a Marine Admiral, one of the most powerful men in the world and thanks to his Glint Glint Devil Fruit, he's a light man who can fire massive explosive laser beams at his targets.



* DiscOneFinalBoss: Iron Mask Duval is an early antagonist in the arc but he's quickly overshadowed by the Eleven Supernovas, the Celestial Dragons and the Marines. He does a HeelFaceTurn later.



* DragonInChief: Admiral Kizaru is technically ranked below the Celestial Dragons, but since they're not fighters, he's the one in control of the situation when the Marines are called in.

Adding audience surrogate. That might not be the exact trope but that scene definetly has some meta commentary going on

Added DiffLines:

* AudienceSurrogate: Robin, Luffy and Usopp all take the roles of different fans of the manga during the scene where they're speaking to Raleigh.
** Usopp takes the role of the fans who want to immediately know the biggest secret of the world; the identity of the One Piece or at least knowledge that it exists at all. He loudly blurts out that he wants answers and is prepared to "spoil" the story for everyone.
** Robin is also like this to a lesser extent. While she isn't loud or in your face about it, but she wants to know all the "lore", the true history of the world, along with twist and turns that that history takes. She has very specific and direct questions to ask that wouldn't leave room for interpretation.
** Luffy, as the protagonist, is the fan who wants to enjoy the journey. He couldn't care less about backstories and reasons for being, and he certainly doesn't want to know how it all ends. He reacts angrily to Usopp's demands and makes it clear that he wouldn't be pleased to hear the answers to Robin's questions either.


Added DiffLines:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Kuma arriving on the scene during the fight with Kizaru and using his Devil Fruit power to blip away each of the Straw Hats is presented as though each member is being killed, one by one. This is intentional as it shows just how powerless the entire crew, especially Luffy is to stop their high-level opponents.

* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: The sole reason why Luffy ''demands'' Usopp drop the subject of what One Piece is supposed to be, as he, among other pirates, had cast off to find out for themselves. He vows there is no point in continuing if the reveal makes the rest of the voyage boring.
