YMMV / One Piece – Sabaody Archipelago Arc

• Breather Boss: Duval. Though there's still more to the arc.
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Eustass Kid is the Captain of the Kid Pirates, a member of the Eleven Supernovas and a far more brutal counterpart to Luffy who has killed anyone who ever mocked his dream to be Pirate King. Allying with Luffy against the Pacifista, Kid later hits the Grand Line and begins to clash with the Four Emperors, even sinking Big Mom's ships and eluding their forces until he is bested by Kaido. Escaping with Luffy and allying with him and Trafalgar Law, Kid eventually clashes with Big Mom herself, working in tandem with Trafalgar Law to topple Big Mom from her throne and claim victory.
  • Trafalgar D. Water Law is the Captain of the Heart pirates. Once a member of Donquixote Doflamingo's crew as a boy, Law was rescued by Doflamingo's little brother Corazon, who died to save him. Growing to a deadly "Surgeon," Law is one of the up and coming Supernovas bent on taking Doflamingo down. Saving Luffy's life for kicks, Law allies with the unscrupulous Caesar Clown after arranging to become a Warlord of the Sea to position himself closer to Doflamingo. Sabotaging his SMILE factory to enrage Doflamingo and bringing conflict to Dressrosa, Law intends to enrage the Emperor Kaido into rampaging to find and kill Doflamingo, before supporting Luffy and defeating Doflamingo's right hand Trebol himself. Later bringing the fight to the Grand Line, Law allies with Kid to face Big Mom herself, utilizing his powers to cancel out her own and finally defeat her with Eustass Kid.
• Shocking Moments: Skyrockets during the second half of the arc, as everything gets shot straight to hell once Luffy punches Charloss. Finding out that Ace is captured and going to be executed, and that Whitebeard will go to war against the World Government; the revelations about Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and their crew; meeting the Eleven Supernovas and seeing the vast power and skill of the Straw Hats' rivals; and, of course, the ending, where the Straw Hats, after facing off against two Pacifistas, a very Elite Mook (Sentoumaru), an Admiral (the Nigh-Invulnerable Kizaru), and Bartholomew Kuma himself, are defeated and separated from each other for what ends up being two years.
