Thanks for the correction, here the revisited version

for the zombier in general

  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: All the general zombies are quickly destroyed by Oars once the latter is revived.
  • Replacement Goldfish: All of them are this for Moria's old crew, which was killed by Kaido years before the beginning of the story. Moria says he basically created an immortal crew which he doesn't need to grow attached to.

and for Oars

  • Barbarian Long Hair: He has messy blonde hair that goes down to his waist.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: The first part of his battle against the Straw Hats, despite the latter putting up a good fight, is completely on his side. When Luffy joins his crew, this changes.
  • The Heavy: He's not only The Dragon to Moria, but also the toughest and most active threat to the Straw Hats during the Thriller Bark arc.
  • Loincloth: He wears only a loincloth. It bites him in the ass when he reaches an Arctic region.
  • Made of Iron: He endures everything the Straw Hats send at him. To defeat him, they have to make sure he cannot move anymore.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Considering he's 100 feet or so tall, he destroys buildings as easily as a normal sized person destroys Lego structures.

I guess you don't want to correct the tropes for Absalom, this is fine, I can't force you, so I guess I'll add them without any correction *fingers crossed*

A trope for Nami

and a folder for another character (a minor one, as you can see from the few tropes)

folder: Lola]]

A zombie warthog with a white bride dress, who was revived with Lola's shadow. Just like her shadow's owner, she's determined to get married, though she doesn't propose to any men she meets but instead fully concentrates on Absalom.

Despite an initial mistrust, she befriends Nami, with the latter trying to pass for a man but zombie Lola quickly seeing through her lie, and even saved the pirate from one of Absalom's marriage attempt. After Oars's defeat, Moria removes Lola's shadow with his ''Shadow Asgard", turning zombie Lola back into a lifeless corpse.

  • Affably Evil: Once you befriend her, she's a really nice perso.. ahem, warthog. The only reasons she could be listed as "evil" are because she's one of Moria's zombies and because she kills any possible enemy between her and Absalom.
  • And Now You Must Marry Me: She attempts to marry Absalom multiple times against his will.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She doesn't like when Absalom shows interest in other girls, to the point of attempting to murder them.
  • Determinator: It doesn't matter how many times Absalom rejects her, she still keeps trying to marry him. Nami's (fake) support makes her even more determined.
  • Dual Wielding: She wields two katanas.
  • Dude, She's Like in a Coma: A rare gender flipped example. She finally manages to marry and kiss Absalom after the latter has been knocked out by Sanji and Nami.
  • Names The Same: She has the same name as her shadow's original owner, Lola.
  • Pink Is Feminine: She's a female zombie warthog and is completely pink.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Unlike the original Lola, who proposes to everyone she meets, zombie Lola wants to marry only Absalom.
  • Tertiary Sexual Characteristic: If being pink isn't a big enough hint (especially if you read the black and white manga), she has lipstick and long eyelashes that tells you she's female.

this trope for baby 5

  • Little Miss Badass: She has been one of the main crewmembers since she was a kid, and she has already eaten the Arms-Arms Fruit.

And for Gladius a description and some tropes

One of the officers of the Donquijote Pirates, under Pica's Army. He has a really short temper and is not forgiving of those who fails him or don't follow orders. He's also one of Doflamingo's most devoted subordinates and he's the one who's angered the most by Violet's betrayal. He ate the Pop-Pop Fruit (Pamu Pamu no Mi) which gives him the ability to inflate and explode any non-living object he touches or himself.

During the events of Dressrosa, he fights Bartolomeo, Cavendish and Nico Robin, until the former knocks him out with a Bari Pistol. He's then arrested by the marines witht the rest of his crew.


Bad Boss: While he does care for the other main member of the Donquijote Pirates, he has no problem with leaving his subordinates to die and kills them without remorse if they fails him.

  • Badass Longcoat: Wears a cool black coat with golden gears on it.
  • Berserk Button: He has many of these, but if you want to be sure to make his hat explode, then you have to not follow the orders.
  • Flechette Storm: He can make his hair explodes shooting them like sharp darts. After this attack he becomes bald.
  • Jerkass: Aside of some affection towards the other officers, with whom he's still quite abrasive, he's very mean and shows no simpathy for anyone else.
  • No-Neck Chump: After he inflates himself, he becomes so round that his neck is no longer visible. This saves him agains Bartolomeo who, since he cannot see where his neck is, stabs him in a non-lethal area.
  • Personality Power: He has an "explosive" temper and can make anything he touches explode. It's not rare to see him making his hat explodes in a fit of rage.
  • "Pop!" Goes the Human: Can invoke this on himself, inflating until he explodes.
  • Required Secondary Power: Naturally, he doesn't die when he blows up himself.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: His ability consists in inflating any object he's in contact with until it explodes.
  • Touch of Death: His devil fruit doesn't work on living people (except himself) but does on living toys, making him a lethal opponent against Thunder Soldier.
  • Would Hit a Girl: When Baby 5 was attempting to kill Doflamingo, Gladius shoot her with complete nonchalace.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Tries to prevent Nico Robin and Bartolomeo to go and help Rebecca and Kyros against Diamante.

And for Lao G

One of the officer of Donquixote Pirates (and the oldest one), under Diamante's army. He's a calm and analitical man, but also very senile since he needs glasses to see the dwarves and has troubles hearing. His fighting abilities are still top notch, though.

During the Dressrosa Arc, he defends the entrance of the smile factory, preventing the dwarves to enter it, until he moves to the King's plateau, where he defeats Don Chinjao but is defeated by Sai. After the events of Dressrosa he's arrested along with his crewmates.

  • Badass Normal: The lack of a devil fruit power doesn't detract from his strenght.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He's a bit senile, but is still a fighter of one of the strongest crews.
  • Formerly Fit: He used to have a muscular body, but age hasn't been kind with him. Downplayed because he claims to have become even Stronger with Age.
  • Fragile Speedster: He's really strong and so fast to hit the dwarves, but his body isn't as though as it was.
  • Scatterbrained Senior: Downplayed, he's still very analytical, but has a lot of troubles hearing and his sight isn't very good.

Lord Marksman and Vanadis

Nightmare Fuel

  • The nightmare fuel about Tina's apathetic attitude towards Tigre's warning about the danger about Tir Na Fal is that she focuses on her ambition so much that she takes this crisis extremely lightly and doesn't even care about the consequences of it; all to hope to rule her regime with an iron fist while ignoring the dangerous prophecies from the Magic Bullet Lore. Does she even care about her home kingdom anymore?

Awesome

  • all to hope to rule her regime -> all in the hope of ruling her regime

According to the Nightmare Fuel page:

"This is the stuff so horrifying that it can give people the creeps for years. This scares the pants off of just about anyone to the author/creator's delight. This makes you shrink in the back of your chair (or maybe even hide behind the sofa), look over your shoulder, and remind yourself that what's going on is (usually) only fictional."

As far as I can tell, nothing in your example comes even close to matching this definition. In other words, it is not an example of Nightmare Fuel.

  • You gotta give credit to Sofy for miraculously survives -> You gotta give credit to Sofy for miraculously surviving

Some tropes i missed for Gladius

  • Arm Cannon: One of the uses of his Pop-Pop Fruit is to inflate some devices around his wrists and generate two explosive blasts.
  • Mr. Exposition: Along with Senior Pink and Lao G, he expalins Baby 5 (and the audience) the history of the White City.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: He can make entire landscapes explode.
  • Spiky Hair: His long blue hair is very spiky, a la super sayan 3. This makes them even more useful as darts.
  • You Have Failed Me: Because of his short temper, he's the officer who's the most prone in doing this to the subordinates.

and for Lao G (and a bit of description)

He doesn't have any devil fruit, but can use a special martial art called "Battle Preservation Fist" (Jio-Ken) that makes the user much stronger and to not feel any pain despite the age.

  • Adaptation Expansion: His battle against Sai lasts a single attack, but in the anime the two exchanges much more kicks.
  • Badass Beard: Being a badass old man, it's natural he has a short beard. It doubles as Beard of Evil.
  • Bald of Evil: He has some facial hair but not a single one on his head, and is a member of an pirate crew.
  • Expy: He's like an evil Master Roshi, complete with a technique that makes his body muscular.
  • Feel No Pain: After using Jio-Ken, his body is no longer affected by pain.
  • Hulking Out: Jio-Ken makes his body much more muscular, even if only the upper part.
  • Lightning Bruiser: With Jio-Ken, not only he becomes much stronger and faster, but his body is no longer fragile.
  • Mr. Exposition: Explains the history of Trafalgar Law's city of origin to Baby 5 along with Gladius and Senior Pink.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: His attacks are so strong that they shatter the groud.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: Guards the entrance of the smile factory and prevents the dwarves and the Thunder Soldier to enter.

and for Dellinger, along with a description

The youngest of the officers, and in Diamante's army. He's a young half-human half-fishman (fighting fish type) with a really effeminate personality but becomes bloodthirsty if he's involved in a fight.

During the Dressrosa Arc he mocks Bellamy and his devotion to Doflamingo, saying he has never been important, but, thanks to Bartolomeo, cannot finish him and later is seen defending the entrance of the smile factory along with Machvise, Senior Pink and Lao G. During the battle on the King's Plateau, he fights and defeats Suleyman, Blue Gilly and Ideo before being defeated in one slash by Hakuba.

After the events of Dressrosa, he's captured along with the rest of the crew.


  • Always Someone Better: Boasts how his fishman heritage made him faster than everyone else but Hakuba is even faster.
  • Badass Normal: Downplayed. He doesn't have any devil fruit ability, but he's half-fishman, a race who is ten times stronger than the average human and even more when underwater.
  • Blood Knight: Fighting fishes are bloodthirsty creatures and Dellinger, an half-fishman fighting fish type, love fighting as much as them.
  • Curbstomp Battle: Defeats easily Suleyman, Blue Gilly and Idea, but is on the receiving end by Hakuba. Even in the anime, where he takes more than one hit, he's still defeated with no difficulty.
  • Doppleganger Spin: Dellinger can move so fast he's able to create the illusion of multiple copies are surrounding his opponents.
  • Fragile Speedster: He blitzes through the enemies with ease but Hakuba defeats him in a single slash.
  • Improbable Age: He's been an officer of the Donquixote Pirates since he was a baby!
  • Kick the Dog: Before finishing Bellamy for good, he mocks him saying how meaningless he has always been to Doflamingo. This gives Bartolomeo the time to come and protect Bellamy.
  • Nice Hat: Since he was a baby, he constantly wears a hat that fit his horns.
  • Raised as the Opposite Gender: Jora raised him as a female, resulting in his very effeminate personality.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: When his "fighting fish" instincts emerge, his eyes become red and he gets really dangerous.
  • Scary Teeth: His mouth is full of fangs he got from his fishman heritage.

and this one for Baby 5

  • Go Out with a Smile: Thankfully Subverted. After Sai sarcastically orders her to kill herself, she's happy to die if it means being useful to someone, naturally Sai changes his idea upon hearing her words.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Baby 5 is a name she received upon joining the Donquixote Pirates, and she reveals her true name to Trafalgar Law.

Tropes and description for 2 characters, still for One Piece: The Seven Warlords Of The Sea Crews (and after them there is another couple for the Donquixote Pirates and then a few other more)

Machvise

One of the officers of the Donquixote Pirates, in Diamante's army. He's compassionate towards his crewmates, to the point of being concerned about Baby 5 after Gladius shoots her, but in battle he's a cruel and mercyless fighter. He ate the Ton-Ton Fruit (Ton Ton no Mi) which, like the Kilo-Kilo fruit, allows him to alter his weight, only that he cannot become lighter but only heavier, much heavier even up to 10.000 tons!

During the Dressrosa Arc, he defends the entrance of the smile factory along with the rest of Diamante's army. Later, on King's Plateau, where he fights Boo and then Hajrudin. [[Spoiler: The latter defeats him sending him against the birdcage.]]

At the end of the arc, he's arrested by the marines like the rest of the crew.


  • Acrofatic: In spite of his fat body, he's rather athletic and can jump to really high heigths.
  • Badass Beard: Sports a rather impressive orange one, and is one of the strongest fighter of Donquixote Pirates.
  • Boring, but Practical: Sure, his attacks aren't the most clever ones, but landing on your enemy with a weight of thousands of tons is definetely effective.
  • Commissar Cap: The only thing that he has been consistently wearing, since he was a kid, it's his red hat.
  • Death from Above: Ironically, his defeats is the opposite of this, with Hajrudin sending him above against the birdcage.

  • Verbal Tic: Has the habit of ending his sentences with "Iiin".

And Jora

One of the officers of the Donquixote Pirates, in Trebol's Army. She's an old woman with a very large ego and a passion for Art. She ate the Art-Art Fruit (Ato Ato no Mi) which gives her the ability to make thoughts bubbles that turns into distorted pieces of art everything they touch.

In the Dressrosa Arc, she assaults the Thousand Sunny turning the ship and everyone on board (Nami, Brook, Chopper and Kin'emon) into abstract art, making them useless in combat, until Brook tricks her and, with the help of Nami, defeats her, turning everything back to normal.

Later she tries to use Mansherry's Heal Heal Fruit to heal the other defeated officers but Leo defeats her once and for all.

By the end of the arc, she's arrested along with the other Donquixote Pirates.


  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Her technique Dying Art traps the victim into a murali and slowly turn them into part of it, killing them.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: She used to have a nice body and a much more refined face, now she's an ugly old lady.
  • Miniature Senior Citizens: When she was younger, she was of average height, now she's short.
  • Narcissist: She's really vain and whenever someone talks to her, she thinks they've called her beautiful or compared her to Boa Hancock and she's not happy to hear that she simply misheard.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Her overall appearance resembles Dame Edna Everage.
  • Personality Power: A Mad Artist who just so happen to have eaten the Art-Art Fruit, which gives her the ability of turining anything into an opera of art. What a coincidence.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Her name can be spelled either "Jora" or "Giolla".
  • True Art Is Incomprehensible: She's a believer of this (especially because no one appreciates her works of art, in particular when you're turned into one) and Brook exploits this for tricking her into turning back to normal his violin and bow.

Hi there! I was directed to this thread because I failed to capitalize the letter "A" in a recent edit. I thought I could certainly use a few pointers when it comes to diction. Sometimes my edits are a little too long as well. Anyway, as far as English goes, I was wondering if there was a word in English that denoted a person who had no romantic feelings, was not the least bit interested in having relations and never ever did. At the very least I'm trying to find a word that denotes the belief that someone can live a happy, fulfilled and long life without ever doing anything associated with romance. I can find several words that apply to part of these ideals, but I was looking for something that encompassed them all ( a little like the word "retort" which encompasses the words "Replied angrily"). Thanks in advance. If this isn't the place for this kind of question, please let me know.

The word for having no sexual attraction at all and no interest or desire in sexual activity is "asexuality".

If there's a word for believing that romance/sex is unnecessary, it's probably on that The Other Wiki page.

TV Tropes has the trope Asexuality and a Useful Note for it (Asexuality).

Thanks, correction

Tropes and description for 2 characters, still for One Piece: The Seven Warlords Of The Sea Crews (and after them there is another couple for the Donquixote Pirates and then a few other more)

Machvise

One of the officers of the Donquixote Pirates, in Diamante's army. He's compassionate towards his crewmates, to the point of being concerned about Baby 5 after Gladius shoots her, but in battle he's a cruel and merciless fighter. He ate the Ton-Ton Fruit (Ton Ton no Mi) which, like the Kilo-Kilo fruit, allows him to alter his weight, only that he cannot become lighter but only heavier, much heavier, even up to 10.000 tons!

During the Dressrosa Arc, he defends the entrance of the smile factory along with the rest of Diamante's army. Later, on King's Plateau, he fights Boo and then Hajrudin. The latter defeats him sending him against the birdcage.

At the end of the arc, he's arrested by the marines like the rest of the crew.


  • Acrofatic: In spite of his fat body, he's rather athletic and can jump to really great heigths.
  • Badass Beard: Sports a rather impressive orange one, and is one of the strongest fighters of the Donquixote Pirates.
  • Boring, but Practical: Sure, his attacks aren't the most clever ones, but landing on your enemy with a weight of thousands of tons is definitely effective.
  • Commissar Cap: The only thing that he has been consistently wearing, since he was a kid, is his red hat.
  • Death from Above: Ironically, his defeat is the opposite of this, with Hajrudin sending him up against the birdcage.
  • Formerly Fit: Sixteen years ago, he used to have a body that would put a body-builder to shame. Now, his body is like that of a sumo wrestler.
  • Verbal Tic: Has the habit of ending his sentences with "Iiin".
  • When All You Have Is a Hammer…: All of his attacks consist of him slamming against the opponent. The only difference between them is the weight he becomes.

And another couple of characters

For Buffalo

One of the officers of the Donquixote Pirates, in Pica's army. He's been a member of the crew since he was young and is therefore very loyal, he's also a compulsive gambler, and often ask Baby 5 to borrow him some money. He ate the Spin-Spin Fruit (Guru Guru no Mi) which gives him the ability to rotate any part of his body.

He's first seen going in a mission to Punk Hazard with Baby 5, where they fight Franky but are ultimately defeated, and Nami and Usopp prevents them to escape. He's sent back to Doflamingo by Trafalgar Law to intimidate the Shichibukai.

In Dressrosa, Buffalo assist to Kyros decapitating one of Doflamingo's string puppets but, believing it was the true one, he attacks Kyros in revenge, but the latter dispatches him easily, making him the first officer to be defeated. Then he gets arrested along with the crew.


  • Curb-Stomp Battle: After believing that Kyros killed Doflamingo, he tries to avenge his master, but the gladiator quickly defeats him.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He's not a nice person, but doesn't tolerate someone who cheats.
  • Gonk: Has large buck teeth and a sproportionate body.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Baby 5. While she's average sized, Buffalo is three times the size of an average human.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He's constantly smiling, though it's not clear if it's because he's always entusiastic or his teeth are simply too big.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Subverted. He's furios at Kyros for having (seemingly) killed Doflaming, but he's immediately defeated.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Punk Hazard, upon seeing Law, the marines and the Straw Hats approaching, he and Baby 5 tries to escap, but Nami and Usopp stop them.
  • Those Two Guys: He's often seen with Baby 5 until she defected the crew. This is probably because they've joined the crew together.
  • X-Ray Sparks: When Nami hits him with a bolt, you can see his skeleton.

for Kyuin <— That's how she's spelled, in case I mistake in future entries

She's the boss of the SMILE factory in Dressrosa, and is seen attacking the dwarves that have gotten in, until Franky slams her with a suplex and shut her up with a kiss. She then watches the fight between Franky and Senior Pink, impressed by all their manlyness.


  • Coat Cape: Wears a large green coat on her back.
  • Cool Mask: Wears a luchador mask.
  • Elite Mook: She's definetely not on the same level of the officers, but is stronger than the average mook.
  • Gonk: She's incredibly fat and her face is not like Nami's.
  • Large and in Charge: She's even taller (and [[Fat Bastard larger) than Franky who is 2.40 meters tall, and is the boss of the SMILE factory.
  • Rummage Sale Reject: You'd thin she wears the first thing she finds because there's no other explanation of why would she wear a luchador mask, a tie, a very short skirt and a Coat Cape.
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: A non-romantic example. Franky kisses her to shut her up, and she becomes quiet.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Her name can be either "Kyuin" or "Queen".
  • Younger Than They Look: You wouldn't believe she's only 20 years old.

For Baby 5

  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After her fight with Buffalo against Franky, upon seeing Law, the marines and the Straw Hats approaching, she and Buffalo tries to escap, but are stopped by Nami and Usopp.
  • Those Two Guys: Before abandoning the Donquixote Pirates, she's often seen with Buffalo. This is probably because they've joined the crew together.

For Nami

  • X-Ray Sparks: Happens commonly to her enemies after she hits them with a thunderbolt tempo.

and for Franky

  • Improbable Hairstyle: Post-timeskip, he can change his hairstyle by pressing his nose. Some of whom are really bizarre, like a rifle-shaped hair.
  • Rated M for Manly: His fight with Senior Pink isn't a simple exchange of attacks, it's also a context for who's the manliest. Franky wins.
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: To stop Kyuin from talking, he kisses her and she ends up in a Post-Kiss Catatonia.

Please read comma splice for why this should be two sentences.

He ate the Spin-Spin Fruit (Guru Guru no Mi), <- comma which
He's first seen going on a mission...Nami and Usopp prevent them from escaping.
In Dressrosa, assists to Kyros in decapitating one of Doflamingo's string puppets but, believing it is the true one, he attacks Kyros in revenge. The latter dispatches him easily, making him the first officer to be defeated.
  • sproportionate -> disproportionate
  • furios...Doflaming -> furious...Doflamingo
  • escap -> escape
until she defected from the crew...because they joined
that have gotten in <- no comma until Franky slams her with a suplex and shuts her up
  • impressed by all their manlyness. -> impressed by all their manliness.
She's definitely not on the same level as the officers
  • [[FatBastard larger -> [[FatBastard larger]] -> larger
  • Franky who is 2.40 meters tall, -> Franky (who is 2.40 meters tall),
You'd think she wears the first thing she finds, <- comma because there's no other explanation for why she would wear
  • she and Buffalo tries to escap -> she and Buffalo try to escape
  • they've joined -> they joined
  • Happens commonly to -> Commonly happens to
Some of them are really bizarre, like rifle-shaped hair.
