* Margarita (the maid whose shadow inhabited Cindry's corpse) calling the SBS and declaring her joy at finally having a shadow again, saying how she can't wait until dawn so she can see the sun for the first time in a ''decade''.

* When Tashigi's still depressed and reeling from the SBS broadcast from Enies Lobby. Merry thanks her, saying that since she save Cross' life, and Cross saved Merry's life, Merry [[IOweYouMyLife owed her her life]]. Tashigi needs to leave the room to cry and compose herself.

** Lassoo gave him a dozen baseball bombs including [[SmokeOut special Cani-Screen bombs modified by Chopper, now renamed Cani-Haze]]. He uses one Cani-Haze to help the blind Sebastian finally defeat his opponent and more in his battle against Magellan.

** The TDWS give Luffy five bottles of fermented Alabastan Dugong seaweed juice, saying he can use it as a disinfectant, a MolotovCocktail, "liquid courage"... or to just relax. He uses one of them on Doflamingo.

** Billy gave Luffy a few of his feathers, supercharged with as much electricity as he could infuse into them, knowing that he could use them as weapons safely.

** Usopp gave him a rubber band and different kinds of ammunition to use with his Gum-Gum Blowgun.

* The giants stationed at Marineford stage a mutiny. They were already angry over hearing about Oimo and Kashi, but hearing that Robin, who they consider Saul's ward and thus family by extension, was in Ennies Lobby, was the straw that broke the camel's back.

** But ultimately, Merry is unable to stay the Straw Hat Pirates' boat... because she eats the Human-Human Fruit, Model Child, [[HumanityEnsues transforming her into a little girl.]] She's utterly distressed to not being able to carry her crewmates anymore, but still begs to stay with them. [[TrueCompanions As with Cross, the idea of kicking her off the crew is not even a possibility for them]].

* The Whitebeards unanimously considering Cross as one of their own because he let them know about their Pops and his plan to die at Marineford to save Ace.

** To hammer the point home, Cross is in what is arguably the worst, most dangerous place on the planet — inarguably the worst outside of the New World — grievously injured, and surrounded by cannibalistic hostiles. Yet in the midst of this, when the war begins, he and Soundbite immediately make it their first priority, shutting out everything else to provide the Straw Hats with much-needed intel and ensure that, through Soundbite's powers, their Captain is not alone in Marineford.

What cinches it for Perona is when Xiao ends up declaring that she wants Perona as her big sister, since Evers has left to join the Barto Club, something that drives Perona to [[TearsOfJoy (happy) tears.]]

* Bege has a soft spot for kids, holdin the hand of one as he leads him out of the ship he was being held prisoner on. Makes sense when you remember Bege is a family man and a doting father in canon.
