YMMV / One Piece – Kuro Arc

• Complete Monster: The titular Captain Kuro was once a feared pirate running from the existence of bounty hunters and marines. As a result, Kuro hatched a scheme by slaughtering every marine on a ship—save one—and has Jango hypnotize a crew member and the surviving marine to make them think they were Captain Kuro and his captor, leading to the execution of the fake Kuro. After fleeing to Sugar Island, he disguised himself as a butler of a kind and sickly girl named Kaya after her parents died. It was revealed that Kuro plotted to have his former crew arrive and slaughter the island while he'd have Kaya hypnotized to write him as the beneficiary of her will before he murdered her. After Kaya bought him a gift of new glasses, Kuro heartlessly crushed them and attempted to kill her other servant. When Kaya said she'd have just given him the money, he admitted he just wanted her dead for the sake of his ego. Kuro was also planning on killing his crew to complete his disappearance and, while fighting Luffy, used an attack that led to them being nearly massacred by him.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Kaya, the only person in the village who may have a ship, has had a sad life despite being rich, since she's sickly and her parents died. When Nami hears about this tragedy, she quickly drops the idea of finding a ship in the village. After knowing Nami's childhood, her reaction proves that she REALLY knows that how hard losing parents is, no matter how much money a person has.
