14	[[folder:Accino Family]]
15	!!Accino Family
16	A family of bounty hunters who inhabit an icy labyrinth, they treat pirates so that they are docile when they hand them over to the Marines and keep their flags as trophies. Following an encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates, Don Accino accepted an offer from Vivi to become one of Alabasta's royal guardians, leading his family to relocate there.
17
18	Members: Don Accino, Campacino, Brindo, Arbell, Salchow, Hockera, Lil, Burrato Hiruno
19	----
20	* AffablyEvil: In the original filler, Accino is this. In this story, the 'evil' part is mostly absent.
21	* ArchEnemy: Hiuo Hiruno enrages him just by existing.
22	* ArrangedMarriage: One of these between Lil and Burrato Hiruno is the driving force of the arc's plot in this fic.
23	* AscendedExtra: In canon, Don was a one-shot filler arc villain from the anime. Here, his Devil Fruit is one of Alabasta's ancestral weapons, and he migrates to the kingdom after the arc is done. He still becomes a bit of an extra, but he still shows up occasionally while the viewpoint is showing Alabastan business.
24	* BadassNormal: Aside from their patriarch, none of them rely on Devil Fruits or overwhelming brute strength, and they still manage to win the first round with the Straw Hats without said patriarch's help.
25	* EveryoneHasStandards: They might be bounty hunters, but they're at least willing to act ''decent'' towards their captures. They all ''hate'' the Hirunos because they (save for [[TokenGoodTeammate Burrato]]) are irredeemably sadistic assholes.
26	* {{Expy}}: They employ WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar. Their boss, Skipper, is an old rival of Boss'.
27	* HappilyMarried: Arbell and Salchow.
28	* HeelFaceTurn: Burrato Hiruno turns against his family and joins the Accinos thanks to the Straw Hats.
29	* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Thanks to being favored by the Marines, they have sea prism stone in abundance. In this story, it's expanded further- the Marines have been selling the stuff at a discount in order to combat the losses sustained when the Supernovas went on their rampages during Enies Lobby, including Bege robbing them of a quarter of all liquid assets.
30	* MagnetismManipulation: Campacino and Brindo's Combination Play—which is ''not'' Devil Fruit-based—allows them to magnetically attract or repel each other no matter how far away they are.
31	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Even if they were ready to escape soon after and the Accinos had [[CrazyPrepared prepared specifically for their crew]], they captured ''every last one of the Straw Hats'' without outside help. Considering what they've pulled off by this point and the AdaptationalBadass nature of the crew, that is one hell of a feat.
32	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Don Accino's Hot-Hot Fruit is also known as the Rage of Alabasta, one of the Kingdom's [[AncestralWeapon Royal Guardian Devil Fruits]].
33	* PlayingWithFire: The Hot-Hot Fruit that Don Accino ate allows him to manipulate heat energy, to the point that they could build a tropical paradise in the middle of an icy labyrinth.
34	* ThePatriarch: Don Accino.
35	* SadisticChoice: Don Accino finds himself in one when dealing with the Hiruno Famiglia; either he marries his daughter to a family he absolutely despises, or let his family's bounty-hunting lifestyle disintegrate when the pirate crews around get too strong to capture. Luckily, Vivi gives him a [[TakeAThirdOption third way out]]: his Devil Fruit is an AncestralWeapon of Alabasta, and if he becomes a Royal Guardian of the seceded kingdom, his family would be set for life.
36	* SuddenlySober: Thanks to his powers, Don Accino can enact this by flaring his temperature and boiling all the alcohol from his body, as demonstrated when he went to meet the Hirunos on their arrival, with the mechanics explained by Vivi a little while later.
37	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Perhaps they grew overconfident when they caught the Straw Hat Crew the first time, but after Accino makes his deal, Cross has no trouble turning the tables when he reveals the crew broke out and is ready to rumble right under their noses.
38	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Like in canon, the Don doesn't wear a shirt. Vivi explains this is because his base level temperature is so high, the sweat would evaporate and be caught in his shirt, making him ''very'' uncomfortable.

41	[[folder:Hiruno Famiglia]]
42	!!Hiruno Famiglia
43	{{Original character}}s, a family of bounty hunters known for extreme sadism. The Accino Family is regularly at odds with them.
44	----
45	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Pavarotto Hiruno lavishes attention on Arbell, who is already HappilyMarried. While her husband is present.
46	* AbusiveParents: Hiuo is not kind to her younger grandson.
47	* ArchEnemy: Don Accino.
48	* ArrangedMarriage: Between Burrato and Lil Accino.
49	* AssholeVictim: In Chapter 77, it's revealed Madame Hiruno is now jailed in a brand-new cell on a tower in Impel Down's Freezing Hell in order to use her Cold-Cold powers to make the level even more punishing. Then in chapter 78, Whitey Bay kills her and claims the Cold-Cold Fruit for herself.
50	* BigBrotherBully: Pavarotto hits his brother openly.
51	* CirclingVultures: [[InvokedTrope Invoked and weaponized]]. The Famiglia has trained vultures working for them who circle over the ships of their bounties while carrying mirrors to reflect sunlight on the ship and cook the crew for added psychological torture.
52	* CowardlyLion: Burrato may be a stuttering mess, but there's a reason the Hirunos keep him around: the final brawl has him laying out everyone who comes near him or Lil with one punch (and [[ApologeticAttacker apologizing]] with each hit).
53	* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
54	** Hiuo mocks Don Accino, kicks her grandson for stuttering, and nearly freezes Vivi's arm off while noting her bounty. This all happens within minutes of arriving.
55	** Pavarotto comes in acting as a total sleaze to Arbell, in complete defiance to Salchow.
56	** Burrato is introduced trembling and stuttering in fear before getting hit by his grandmother.
57	* EvilLaugh: Hiuo's SignatureLaugh. "Tsurarara."
58	* EvilMatriarch: Hiuo Hiruno.
59	* {{Foil}}: Hiuo is literally built from the ground up as Don Accino's polar opposite. They're both bounty hunters, but whereas Don Accino is AffablyEvil and prefers to subdue his prey with relative gentleness, Hiuo is a spiteful old bag who sadistically relishes the suffering she can inflict on others. Despite his fearsome temper, Don Accino loves his family unreservedly, and they love him back, whereas Hiuo treats her offspring with contempt and they loathe her back. Don Accino is [[LargeAndInCharge a towering bear of a man]], whereas Hiuo is [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens a tiny little lady]]. Even their Devil Fruits are literally polar opposites; both have consumed temperature-manipulating Paramecias, with Don Accino eating the temperature-raising Hot-Hot Fruit and Hiuo consuming the temperature-''lowering'' Cold-Cold Fruit.
60	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen[=/=]HumiliationConga: Hiuo Hiruno has had a rough time during and after the failed ArrangedMarriage. Being completely humiliated by her grandson Burrato's calling her out as well as abandoning the Famiglia, one side of her is completely melted due to having a bubbling cauldron of caustic punch dropped on her, her ship and livelihood destroyed in the aftermath of the wedding. That much, we see onscreen; offscreen, however, when it became clear that she was no longer capable of bounty hunting, Pavarotto turned her in for her bounty, and she wound up in Impel Down's Level 5. Even though she is treated slightly better than other prisoners in exchange for using her abilities to intensify the cold of the floor, it's a foregone conclusion she won't have much to live due to her half-melted condition and age. And then Whitey kills her to steal and eat her Cold-Cold Fruit.
61	* HunterOfHisOwnKind: In Chapter 77, it's revealed that Madame Hiruno has a bounty for unknown reasons. Due to bringing in other bounties, however, she was excused and allowed to remain hunting them. [[HumiliationConga Until the Straw Hats came around in Lovely Land...]]
62	* AnIcePerson: Similarly to Aokiji, thanks to the Cold-Cold Fruit, Hiuo can freeze things just by touching them, and uses this ability to nearly rot off Vivi's arm via frostbite. The difference is that her fruit is a Paramecia, like Don Accino's Hot-Hot Fruit, so she lacks the ElementalShapeshifter powers granted by Aokiji's Chilly-Chilly Fruit.
63	* InstrumentOfMurder: Pavarotto has a string quartet retinue that owns instruments made of metal (with sharpened violin bows to boot).
64	* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: To provide more contrast to [[LargeAndInCharge Don Accino]], Hiuo Hiruno is a three-foot-midget.
65	* NervousWreck: Burrato, justified given his [[AbusiveParents grandmother]].
66	* NightmareFace: Let's just call Hiuo Hiruno's expression when the final brawl breaks out "ghastly" and leave it at that.
67	* OddNameOut: The Hiruno family and the World brothers are the only characters native to the One Piece world who have their given names before their family names, rather than after as is standard for the series.
68	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Two of the vultures working for the Hirunos are first cousins to Miss Friday, and so share a beef with Cross despite their claims otherwise.
69	* RunningGag: Through his stuttering, Burrato ends up using the wrong word from what he wants to say two times before getting the correct word, only to be hit by one of his family members before he can finish his sentence.
70	* StutterStop: Burrato drops his stutter when Lil prompts him to take a stand and refuse to get married.
71	* TokenGoodTeammate: Burrato, who in the end abandons his family for the Accinos.
72	* VileVulture: As a dark {{Foil}} to the Accino Family's fierce penguins, the Hiruno Familiga has trained vultures who help torture their bounties in exchange for eating the corpses of the Familiga's victims who don't have bounties.

75	!!Neo-Marines
76
77	[[folder:In General]]
78	!!Neo-Marines
79
80	An organization formed by former Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr, after the War of the Best, formed from ex-Marines who were implicitly disgusted by the corruption in the ranks of the Navy.
81	----
82	* AmbiguouslyEvil: They were an AntiVillain group in canon, and have been seemingly influenced for the better by the Masons and the SBS. Time will tell how they act.
83	* BadassCreed: Zephyr gives one ''hell'' of a speech.
84	-->'''Zephyr''': "MARINES! What is our duty on these glorious seas?"
85	-->'''Neo-Marines''': "TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT AND PUNISH THE GUILTY, SIR!"
86	-->'''Zephyr''': "And has our flag upheld this duty thus far, Marines?"
87	-->'''Neo-Marines''': "SIR, NO, SIR!"
88	-->'''Zephyr''': "What crimes do you levy against our flag, Marines?"
89	-->'''Neo-Marines''': "BLINDNESS TO CORRUPTION! INDIFFERENCE TO INJUSTICE! PARDONS FOR THE UNFORGIVABLE!"
90	-->'''Zephyr''': "Heavy crimes indeed! And what does this make our flag?"
91	-->'''Neo-Marines''': "GUILTY, SIR!"
92	-->'''Zephyr''': "Indeed so... a terrible tragedy indeed. And worse yet, for having sailed under this flag, so too are we guilty of these self-same sins. Sins that can never be forgiven, nor forgotten. So I ask you, Marines! What would you guilty, damned souls do with your lives?"
93	-->'''Neo-Marines''': "UPHOLD OUR DUTY, SIR!"
94	-->'''Zephyr''': "Even should you yourselves be judged? Even at the cost of your own lives?"
95	-->'''Neo-Marines''': ''"SIR, YES, SIR!"''
96	-->'''Zephyr''': "...Then so be it. Henceforth, let us quit the purity of white, and don the black cloak of the damned! Henceforth, we shall venture into the deepest of pits, the darkest of nights, and we shall fight! Until our last breath is spent! Until our last drop of blood is shed! UNTIL THE BLUE SEAS RUN DRY! WE, THE NEO-MARINES, SHALL NEVER SURRENDER, UNTIL THE SCOURGE OF SIN IS CLEANSED FROM THIS WORLD!"
97	* EarlyBirdCameo: Zephyr's NumberTwo, Captain Ain, appears during the Dead End Race, listening to the SBS at Navarone with Jonathan and Drake (G-8's Drake, not X Drake).
98	* StartMyOwn: After seeing just ''how'' corrupt the Government (and to a lesser extent, the Navy) is, and the War of the Best crippling the Marines, Zephyr and his men decided to form their own faction without the Government overseeing them.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Zephyr]]
102	!!Zephyr
103
104	A former Admiral who retired years before canon to become an instructor, who decided to return to the seas after the battle of Marineford... this time leading the Neo-Marines, a breakaway force of Marines who reject the World Government.
105	----
106	* BadassNormal: Like Garp, Zephyr has no Devil Fruit powers; he was offered (and accepted) the position of Admiral because of his overwhelming physical ability.
107	* BadassTeacher: He taught Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, among others, and he's an ex-Admiral.
108	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He lost his wife and son, and later a division of Marine cadets and his arm to pirates, all of which contributes to his hatred towards them.
109	* HandicappedBadass: He lost an arm to a pirate in the past. It didn't stop him from kicking Kid's ass.
110	* RetiredBadass: The key word in "retired Admiral" is "Admiral". Eustass Kid may be one of the strongest Supernovas, but when he attacked Blackarm Island, he nearly got ripped in half.
111	* SecretKeeper: He has become disillusioned with the Navy and Government, which led Jonathan to offer him a place in the Masons. While he declined the offer due to their affiliation with pirates, he respected their ambition and so keeps their secret.
112	* SpannerInTheWorks: If Eustass Kid hadn't attacked Blackarm Island and renewed his hate for all pirates, he might have joined the New World Masons.
113	* ThatManIsDead: Subverted. In the movie, Zephyr renamed himself "Z" to cement his rejection of the Marines and his former ties with them. But in the Denouement, his new Neo-Marines still refer to him as "Fleet Admiral Zephyr".
114	* TragicBigot: He hates ''all'' pirates, except maybe Luffy and the Straw Hats, but he has plenty of good reasons for it. Amidst whatever other horrors he's seen over his long career, he lost his wife and son to a pirate in the past, and more recently he lost an arm and almost all of his cadets to another pirate. And while the SBS had been on the verge of changing his mind, the Kid Pirates attacked his training grounds and reaffirmed his hatred during Enies Lobby.
115	* VillainRespect: While the "villain" part is currently ambiguous, he genuinely respects Luffy after his speech during the Strong World incident.
116
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	!!Gran Tesoro
120
121	[[folder:Gild Tesoro]]
122	The "Casino King" of Gran Tesoro and possibly the wealthiest man in the world, his gleaming exterior hides a very dark interior - a former slave of the World Nobles who lost the woman he loved to them as well, he became far too similar to them later in life.
123	----
124	* Fiction500: He's got wealth that likely rivals that of the ''World Nobles''.
125	* VillainRespect: He's never shown as not having at least some regard for the Straw Hats.

130	[[folder:B.R.O.B.]]
131	!!Bastard Random Omnipotent Being
132
133	The Bastard Random Omnipotent Being responsible for sending Cross to the world of ''One Piece'', an ambiguous entity that only cares about its own amusement.
134	----
135	* AllPowerfulBystander: It has a handful of significant appearances/roles, and several cameos purely or mostly for comedic purposes, but for the most part, it stays OutOfFocus, just watching the story unfold for its entertainment.
136	* AmbiguousGender: Appearances thus far hint toward it being female, but there's no way to be sure.
137	* CheshireCatGrin: Its most common way of appearing in reality.
138	* DealWithTheDevil: A somewhat downplayed version. In Chapter 38, Cross resorts to appealing to B.R.O.B., having exhausted all other options for keeping his promise to save Merry's life. It agreed to give Cross a chance if he provided enough amusement in Enies Lobby. But if he didn't, it would only give him the intervention to keep his promise at the cost of a GenderBender.
139	* DidntSeeThatComing: In Chapter 82, B.R.O.B freely admits to Cross that it plucked him for shits and giggles and fully expected him to die in Loguetown at the earliest. When that didn't pan out, it continued to amp up the difficulty, so to speak, just to see how far Cross would go. By its own admission, and the one thing that snaps Cross out of his HeroicBSOD, is that it never anticipated Luffy saving Ace, especially since, if B.R.O.B is to be believed, Ace's death was meant to happen and could not be stopped.
140	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: On the receiving end. Luffy was NOT happy to learn it ripped Cross to his world for kicks and considers the Straw Hats as a source of fun.
141	* DramaticIrony: During the Accino wedding, Cross expresses his doubt that the Straw Hats will ever have to deal with a politically arranged wedding again, causing B.R.O.B to hijack Soundbite and voice its laughter knowing that Cross is in for a surprise, come the Whole Cake Island arc.
142	* EveryoneHasStandards: After the Alabasta Rebellion ends, and Cross's RageAgainstTheHeavens, B.R.O.B. concedes that it might have gone a little too far, and gifts him with the Snail Transceiver, though it warns him not to expect any more favors until after his future knowledge expires.
143	* TheFaceless: No name, no face, even the voice that it used in its second appearance was borrowed. Only the personality is clear.
144	* FlippingTheBird: When Soundbite tries to goad B.R.O.B. into taking direct action, it causes a tree branch to fall on top of Soundbite's shell, with several of the twigs in his field of vision suspiciously looking like they're all giving him the finger.
145	* ImpliedDeathThreat: During the Rainbow Mist special, Jones (who read ''This Bites!'' before the start of her adventure) gets the idea to warn Cross that Ace was still captured despite his warnings. Before she can say anything, B.R.O.B. drops a note for her that ''dares'' her to try and spoil its fun before the note burns away.
146	* ItAmusedMe: Pretty much its entire personality. Lamshaded by the thing in Chapter 82, where it tells Cross it picked him for no reason.
147	* JerkassGod: It's in its title.
148	* PeoplePuppets: Downplayed; when Soundbite says some out-of-universe thing he doesn't remember saying, it's usually B.R.O.B. hijacking his feed for a second or two.
149	* WowingCthulhu: The reason it delivered that RousingSpeech to Cross at the end of Marineford Misery; Cross had beaten the odds so many times, changed the world, and even [[ScrewDestiny altered events that it never expected to ever change, like the deaths of Going Merry and Ace]], that B.R.O.B. is looking forward to what Cross will do next, and will not let him beat himself down with despair.
150	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Surprisingly is the one to not only give one to Cross, but also snaps him out of his HeroicBSOD. It let Cross know that originally, it expected Cross to die in amusing fashion, but repeatedly he had not only survived but also challenged fate and help improved the lives of so many people. Cross become more than what B.R.O.B was expecting, and it's looking forward to more from him.

152
153	[[folder:The Unluckies]]
154	!!Mr. 13 and Miss Friday
155
156	The Otter and Vulture pair of Baroque Works who served as sketch artists and internal affairs for the organization. They had a very unhealthy fixation on Cross for much of the story's first half.
157	----
158
159	* AdaptationalBadass: With a dash of RelatedInTheAdaptation. In the Water 7 arc, they reveal that they were born on [[DeathWorld Kuraigana Island]], currently home to Dracule Mihawk and tribes of warring Humandrills.
160	* ClipItsWings: The Franky Family offers this as an alternative to killing them while still reducing their overall threat level. It's implied that the Unluckies escaped before it happened.
161	* ColdBloodedTorture: After all Cross put them through, they are determined to take him alive so that they can do this to him.
162	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Pretty much the reason why they hate Cross's (and Soundbite's) guts. After they were captured in Alabasta, Cross and Soundbite visited them every day before leaving so Soundbite could recite [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Vogon poetry]] to them.
163	* CoolShades: They both sport pairs.
164	* CycleOfRevenge: While they technically started the antagonism by virtue of being part of Baroque Works, Cross and Soundbite ''definitely'' escalated things, causing them to fixate on him. A DeletedScene later shows them finally letting go of this.
165	* DidntThinkThisThrough: During the ride to Enies Lobby, they break out of wherever the Franky Family was keeping them and storm into the train car of Rocket Man to attack Cross... [[ThisIsGonnaSuck and realize too late that most of the Straw Hats are also in there with him.]]
166	* ExitPursuedByABear: In Little Garden, Cross gets rid of them by tricking them into a cave of troodons.
167	* FeatheredFiend: Miss Friday.
168	* ForWantOfANail: The whole reason they were able to become recurring antagonists in the first place? Cross changed the events of Little Garden to the point that Sanji didn't take them out like in canon.
169	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Played with. While Mr. 13 is more melee-focused and Miss Friday is more range-focused, they have no trouble at all mixing it up.
170	* HyperspaceArsenal: Mr. 13 at least seems to keep weapons on him that are too big for him to carry discreetly given his attire.
171	* MadeOfIron: Par for the course given that this is the world of One Piece, but the amount of punishment they can take is more than their relatively small sizes would imply and is arguably more than Cross or Soundbite could live through.
172	* NotWorthKilling: An interesting variant. In Water 7, Cross freely admits that killing them would save him future headaches, and he knows he can't get away with not killing forever, but he refuses to let ''these two'' be the ones to drive him to it and certainly not in cold blood.
173	* PlayfulOtter: Terrifyingly [[InvertedTrope inverted]] with Mr. 13.
174	* ProfessionalKiller: Started out as this. Now it's just personal for them.
175	* RecurringBoss: Cross faces them multiple times.
176	* VillainRespect: A canonical DeletedScene during the Sabaody Revolution arc shows them return and admit this. Previously, the Unluckies hated Cross and Soundbite for being a couple of weaklings that kept escaping them with dumb luck, dirty tricks, and hiding behind more threatening individuals, a hatred comparable to the typical sentiment towards World Nobles. But Cross and Soundbite grew past that as they fought Enies Lobby, the Hiruno Famiglia, Thriller Bark, and especially Strong World, where they held their own against some of the worst pirates in Paradise; that level of strength is something the Unluckies could respect losing to. They acknowledged their offenses against Cross, not quite apologizing, and Cross satisfied them by responding in kind.
177	* TheVoiceless: Subverted. They don't speak much, but they're perfectly capable of it (provided Soundbite is translating, of course). Once they catch up to him at the Franky House, they become a ''lot'' more talkative.
178	--> '''Miss Friday:''' Suffer.
179	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Their last appearance in the main story was shortly before Enies Lobby. But a canonical DeletedScene set in Sabaody Archipelago showed them clearing the air with Cross and Soundbite.
180	* WorthyOpponent: A canonical deleted scene shows that they've grown to respect the real power that Cross and Soundbite have cultivated on their journey. Their last words before departing imply this trope specifically:
181	-->'''Mr. 13''': If we meet again, it'll be nothing personal. Just business.\
182	'''Miss Friday''': Although...it ''would'' be a lie to say we don't want to fight you again.

185	[[folder:Wyvern]]
186	!!Wyvern (AKA Jeremiah Cross)
187	A future version of Cross who appears in "The 1000th Review Spectactular!" bonus chapter, appearing before the present-day Straw Hats courtesy of B.R.O.B.
188	----
189	* BandagedFace: His face is entirely wrapped in bandages.
190	* CurbStompBattle: Boards the Bleeding Hearts bounty hunters' ship by himself. By the time the Straw Hats deal with the ones boarding their ship and make their way over, Wyvern's standing over their beaten bodies looking none the worse for wear.
191	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: When Wyvern wakes up after being dropped into the present day by B.R.O.B. and sees someone (Cross) standing over him, his first instinct is to grab him by the throat and say ''something'' in Greek.
192	* NeverShallTheSelvesMeet: Averted. Wyvern and Cross interact with each other without any problems.
193	* OneSteveLimit: To avoid any confusion between him and his younger self, TimeSkip Cross opts to be called "Wyvern" rather than Jeremiah.
194	* ATasteOfPower: Wyvern essentially offers Cross a glimpse of how strong he'll become during the TimeSkip. He's not accompanied by Soundbite, Lassoo, or Funkfreed when he shows up, but he manages to single-handedly take down an entire ship's worth of bounty hunters.
195	* TrainingFromHell: If his bandages were any indication, Cross is gonna have a hell of time reaching Wyvern's level during the TimeSkip.

198	[[folder:Sifu Dugong]]
199	!!Sifu Dugong
200
201	The most powerful Kung Fu Dugong in history, the former sensei of Boss Dugong, and the former bearer of the name 'Boss.' A nomadic warrior of New World-grade strength, surpassing him is Boss's ultimate goal.
202	----
203	* EccentricMentor: He's the guy who Boss learned his teaching methods from, after all.
204	* GeniusBruiser: He's seemingly learned how to speak the human language without Soundbite's aid, though it's very uncomfortable for his throat.
205	* WalkingTheEarth: His hobby.
206	* WorldsStrongestMan: He's the strongest Kung Fu Dugong in the world, and is capable of going seemingly toe-to-toe, or at least very close, with ''Garp.'' The TDWS implies that he's the strongest Dugong in the history of their species.
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	[[folder:The Obelisks of the Florian]]
210	!!The Obelisks of the Florian
211	The Florian Triangle itself, its consciousness manifested into three titanic yet featureless entities. They absorb and reflect the emotions displayed within their domain, menacing to menaces but friendly to friends; thanks to Soundbite conveying this, they become allies and protectors of Skelter Bite.
212	----
213	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Cross describes Thriller Bark as being "the size of a gnat" compared to them at full size, and the people on it "gnats on a gnat's ass".
214	* DarkIsNotEvil: They are scary and powerful, but they're only seen as scary because of the EldritchLocation nature of the Florian Triangle causing a feedback loop, especially after Moria brought Thriller Bark there. They're happy to help keep Skelter Bite safe after its founding in exchange for all the positive feelings created in the process.
215	* DomainHolder: They rule the Triangle absolutely, and the already strained physics in the Grand Line seem to have given up entirely where they are involved and want it that way.
216	* TheDreaded: The Emperors, for all their power and influence, ''fear'' stepping foot into the Triangle (even without knowing about the Obelisks) and are the only reason Charlotte Linlin hasn't gone all-out in recapturing and killing Lola.
217	* EldritchAbomination: They have VoluntaryShapeshifting (one grew an arm and waved at Vivi) and judging by how two of them somehow "shrunk" to follow Lola around on Skelter Bite, they don't seem to obey the conventional laws of physics (even more than usual on the Grand Line, that is).
218	* EldritchLocation: They're the embodiments of the Florian Triangle, so they both rule it and ''are'' it.
219	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The only noteworthy feature that they have, though how much they're actually 'of doom' depends on their emotional state at the time.

224	!!Takoyaki 8
225	A restaurant founded by Hachi, one of Arlong's former CoDragons, Keimi the mermaid, and Pappug the starfish. Later on, Chew and Kuroobi, Arlong's other two CoDragons, were also released by Jimbei on Hachi's request and joined as chefs.
226	----
227	* TheAtoner:
228	** Hachi is making every attempt to make up for what he did, and facilitated Kuroobi and Chew's parole in hopes that they'd see the light too. He outright ''prostrates'' himself to Nami in Chapter 63, but it isn't until after she witnesses him take a bullet meant for Cross that she's finally convinced he's genuine.
229	** Kuroobi and Chew take longer to get to this point, but after witnessing the lengths the Straw Hats were willing to go to tear down the slave industry on Sabaody, they decide that while there’s a good chance they can never atone for the hate they spread alongside Arlong, they’re going to try.
230	* BewareTheNiceOnes:
231	** Keimi, the kindhearted, ditzy mermaid, gets an instance of TranquilFury when she confronts the Macro Pirates. With the confirmation that they would have sold her into slavery, which they ''did'' to other merfolk and fishpeople before her, she shows no hesitation in personally condemning them to a FateWorseThanDeath.
232	** Hachi himself counts; it's easy to overlook that he was the one who fought [[TheLancer Zoro]] back in Arlong Park, which is pretty conclusive evidence that he was second only to Arlong. It's made clear by the fact that he keeps Kuroobi and Chew under control single...or, well, six-handedly.
233	* ChefOfIron: Hachi, Kuroobi, and Chew, naturally. Keimi may count as well; she's no fighter, but she still has the natural physical superiority of merfolk.
234	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Kuroobi and Chew were both ''horrified'' when they learned from Cross that their "preaching" to Hody Jones and the other New Fishman Pirates indirectly led to the death of Queen Otohime.
235	* InSpiteOfANail: Despite everything Cross did to prevent the disasters from canon, two unpleasant things still occurred, albeit differently:
236	** Keimi still gets kidnapped and sent to the Human Auction House. However, because the kidnappers left Hachi, Chew, and Kuroobi alone (with them being fishmen and prized slave material), Cross realizes this wasn't normal and that she was kidnapped as bait for the Straw Hats.
237	** Hachi still gets shot by Charloss in the Auction House, but it was due to TakingTheBullet for Cross. Thankfully, the fishman is still alive.
238	* ManBehindTheMan: One of the reasons why Hachi is so terrifying to Kuroobi and Chew? Aside from the fact that he was Arlong's second, Hachi has Jinbei's snail number on speed dial, since Jinbei is basically their parole officer.
239	* SenselessSacrifice: Subverted. Whereas Hachi TakingTheBullet in canon was pointless, since Luffy's RubberMan powers make him ImmuneToBullets, here he does it to save the ''much'' squishier Jeremiah Cross. The HeroicSacrifice nature of it this time around is lampshaded in the final chapter of the "Sabaody Revolution" arc, where Chopper confirms that if Hachi hadn't taken the bullet for Cross, Charloss could have ''killed Cross'' with that shot.

242	[[folder:Family & Friends]]
243	A general group consisting of the civilian and non-pirate families of the Straw Hats (and the Barto Club) themselves, in both the East Blue and the Grand Line (and in Sanji's case, the Germa Kingdom and his sister Reiju).
244	----
245	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Makino bought a shotgun after the incident with Higuma, and is willing to ''use'' it to keep order in her bar.
246	* DefiantToTheEnd: While many of them had faith that the Straw Hats would be able to defeat Shiki, every one of them immediately started to arm themselves after the "Strong World" broadcast started and the revelation that Shiki's beasts were going to be released on the East Blue.
247	* LaughThemselvesSick:
248	** After hearing about Afro Luffy over the SBS, Makino promptly cracks up. Hard.
249	** Mayor Woop Slap of Foosha Village (Luffy's hometown) spends most of the story, up through Enies Lobby, disparaging anything to do with pirates. But then this trope ensues when he hears Garp get zinged over the SBS, and he officially changes his opinion about the program.
250	* PapaWolf: All of the parental figures are protective, but special mention must go to Cobra, who seceded his entire country from the World Government in retaliation for the World Nobles putting a bounty on his daughter and forcing her to go on the run.
251	* ShipTease:
252	** Just like in canon, Usopp and Kaya are implied to have feelings for each other. Usopp's familiarity with economics and other high-class topics is credited to Kaya's tutelage (which Dorry and Broggy soundly tease him for), and Kaya is shown cheering him on several times while listening to the SBS.
253	** Kohza and Vivi. It's remarked that the main reason why no one has any interest in Vivi romantically (except for Sanji, [[ChivalrousPervert for obvious reasons]]) is that they know she's already (unknowingly) spoken for.

255
256	[[folder:Water 7]]
257	The city/island of Water 7, known as the home of the greatest shipwrights in the world, and the focus of several of [=CP9=]'s agents for the last five years.
258	----
259
260	* HammerSpace: Where Paulie keeps all his rope.
261	* NotSoAboveItAll: When he sees the Gaon Cannon about to be deployed on the SBS, Iceberg is pretty clearly overjoyed.
262	* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Tilestone, Peeply Lulu, and the Square Sisters vacate the premises quickly when Cross tells them that his truth could make them go mad.
263	* SecretKeeper: Iceburg, Paulie, and Zambai know Cross's secret about being from another world.

267	[[folder:Yamato]]
268	The son of Kaido, and a "Self-Proclaimed Kozuki Oden", Yamato was inspired by the hour of Oden's death as a child, and has been at odds with his father for years as a result, dreaming constantly of leaving Wano like Oden himself - a goal, sadly, that is blocked by both the explosive handcuffs on his wrists and the fact that Kaido would never let him leave alive under his power.
269	----
270	* AbusiveParents: Kaido is this to him.
271	* {{Determinator}}: He's been imprisoned under Kaido's thumb on Onigashima for nearly his entire life, with explosive handcuffs set to go off if he ever tries to escape - but despite this, he's ''never'' given up hope that he'll be free one day.
272	* TheGhost: He only appears in Part 4 of Marineford Misery, and is briefly mentioned in the Denouement.
