** In the latter story, Ace is briefly affected by [[UnPerson Sugar's power]]. His boyfriend Marco, hundreds of miles away and without any knowledge of what's happened, can't remember Ace even when looking at a picture of the two of them. Shanks and Benn are similarly affected. Then, when their memories are restored, they can't get ahold of him for fifteen hours.



** Zoro, however, states that after Mihawk, Rayleigh's methods aren't so bad.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Kuro in 'The Tragicomedy of Captain Kuro'. Upon seeing the Red Hair Pirates visiting Usopp, he assumes it's only a matter of time before his cover is blown, and interprets the ASL brothers' curiosity as proof he needs to move up his plans because they're becoming suspicious of him. In reality, his sixteen-million bounty is so far below the RHP's radar it's likely none of them had even heard of him, and the ASL brothers think he's just a stuffy butler.

** 'Punking Doflamingo' and 'Settling The Score' may just be the crowners. [[spoiler: Rocinante is [[UnPerson turned into a toy]] by Doflamingo, and the effects are immediate. Kuzan forgets his lover while in the middle of his RoaringRampageOfRescue, abruptly wondering why he was so angry. Law, in the middle of fighting Tashigi and Smoker, suddenly rips out their hearts and tortures them because he no longer has any reason to feel even slightly positive towards Marines. Law becomes far more emotionaly unstable and, upon realising his memories have been tampered with, is terrified at the the inexplicable change and that he is now a noticeably worse person. Doflamingo takes great delight in torturing Rocinante by threatening to ''molest'' Law when he captures him. Then Kuzan is tricked into fighting Law, and nearly freezes his adoptive son to death while planning to hand him over to Doflamingo, who's made sure to give Rocinante a good vantage point to witness the whole thing.]]

** Two of the short stories in 'Parenting Future Pirates' fall into this. The first has Mihawk discovering Zoro's [[NoSenseOfDirection directional sense]] by Zoro wandering off and getting lost for hours. The second has the ASL brothers running into a forest to hunt without telling the Red Hair Pirates because that's what they're used to. Shanks and Benn rush to find them and try to explain why they can't do that any more.
