History YMMV / TwelveRedLines

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The battle against Crocodile.
** The Straw Hats getting together with [[spoiler: Sabo, Ace, Marco, Haruta, and Namur]] to [[spoiler: take down Blackbeard on Jaya in a mess of a battle.]]
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Luffy's reaction when he see Jones's One Piece pendant? He decides to take her into his crew: she ''chose'' to bear his flag, so she's ''his'' to help and protect, and he won't let anything or anyone stop him of doing it. Not even Jones herself.
** The entire crossover chapter with ''FanFic/ThisBites''.

** When Ghin and Toma meet Merry's klabautermann, she tearfully confesses she's nearing her breaking point and isn't sure she can bear her crew to Grand Line's end. So she figured the best she can do is asking the Strawhats to bring a piece of her on their new ship, so to let her coming with them.

** Nami's utter horror when the Strawhats have to pay the toll for Heaven's Gate and don't have enough money even after scraping every beli - this is exactly how she lost her adoptive mother.

** Upon being told by Bentham that most people don't usually hurt those they care for, Sanji muses he doesn't actually have any experience with people who don't hurt those they care about - [[BigScrewedUpFamily or those they don't care about, but are supposed to.]]

*** In Chapter 26, they're bickering while flying. Geier does a barrel roll to tease Drifter, who then casually lets go. Geier merely rolls her eyes and flies down to catxh him 'in a well-preacticed maneuver'.
--> '''Geier:''' One of these days I'm going to just let you fall when you do that.\\

'''Luffy:''' [[spoiler: You're wrong, but that's okay. Everyone's wrong sometimes. [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove You're mine and I love you, just like I love Chopper or nami or Johnny or Yosaku or Sanji or Jones or Ghin or Zoro or Ruatha or Usopp or Merry.]] Someday you'll get it. But until then...at least come meet everyone with me. ''(gently guides a stunned Robin towards the palace)'']]

** Jones' complete and utter ''bafflement'' when the crew is livid with Ace when [[spoiler: his hotheadedness and misunderstanding of the situation leads to him attacking and burning her.]] It takes her several minutes to even understand ''why'' they're angry.

** Jones' complete and utter ''bafflement'' when the crew is livid with Ace for [[spoiler: his hotheadedness and misunderstanding of the situation leads to him attacking and burning her.]] It takes her several minutes to even understand ''why'' they're angry.

** When Jones almost gets killed by a T-Rex, Luffy is brutally reminded the world is not a nice place, and even if he ''did'' get stronger after Sabo's supposed death, ''it's still not enough to protect his crew''.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: When Jones introduces herself as a dimension traveler to the Strawhats, they realistically refuse to believe her. She asks Luffy if he has heard about Ace or Dadan lately. Luffy accepts "mystery worlds" as a thing.
-->'''Nami:''' HOW CAN YOU ACCEPT THAT SO EASILY?!
** Jones's status as a CordonBleughChef. Everyone constantly reminds her that not even ''Luffy'' was able to stand her cooking.
** Her BreakingTheFourthWall as a matter of fact. Johnny and Yosaku outright tell her it's freaky.
** [[BadassGrandpa Garp]] meets the crew in the East Blue while going collect Morgan for his trial. Poor Luffy immediately goes into hiding, fearing the possibility of being kidnapped and made into a marine.
*** After learning Luffy is Garp's grandson, Sabo's brother and ''Dragon's'' son, Usopp freaks out and asks if Luffy is hiding something else, such as his other brother being the Pirate King's secret son.
-->'''Jones:''' No, I haven't told him anything about Ace.
** Also, Luffy claims that Zoro has NoSenseOfDirection because of quantum mechanics - which he calls quantum mechs and associates with ''cola'', of all things.
** Wapol's minion announces a royal decree which forbids the playing of hockey in front of a bunch of rabid Drum natives. '''Big mistake'''.
** When they see "Fire Fist" Ace's bounty poster, Yosaku dismisses the possibility of Whitebeard's subordinate being related to Luffy in spite of the smile and the looks ([[JustifiedTrope because Ace is named ''Portgas'', not ''Monkey'']]). Fast-forward to Nanohana, where Ace introduces himself to the Strawhats as Luffy's older brother, [[BrickJoke and Johnny delivers a]] DopeSlap [[BrickJoke to his partner]].
** Ghin is so CrazyPrepared he anticipated Jones forgetting to buy tuna and yarn for a sea cat and took on himself to buy it.

*** After learning Luffy is Garp's grandson, Sabo's brother and ''Dragon's'' son, Usopp freaks out and asks if Luffy is hiding something else, such as [[AccidentallyAccurate his other brother being the Pirate King's secret son]].

** [[BilingualBonus For those who understand it]], Chopper and Kureha's [[GratuitousFrench farewell]].

** [[spoiler: After ten years apart, Sabo finds his brothers back: Luffy in Loguetown, than Ace in Nanohana.]]

** When Jones almost gets killed by a T-rex, Luffy is brutally reminded the world is not a nice place, and even if he ''did'' get stronger after Sabo's supposed death, ''it's still not enough to protect his crew''.
