History NightmareFuel / OnePiece

** Tamago's Devil Fruit powers (the Egg-Egg Fruit) are about as bizarre and disturbing as one can get, even for ''One Piece''. Every time his body get torn apart, he dissolves into an egg yolk and reforms as a hideous-looking embryo which quickly evolves into a much stronger form in the life cycle of a chicken, going from a literal egg human to a chick human, and then a full-blown chicken human. And from what it looks like, those transformations are permanent. However, if he isn't hurt badly enough, Tamago simply gets maimed and lives with the scars even after his body successfully evolves. In other words, Tamago needed to be effectively killed twice over to reach the pinnacle form of his Devil Fruit and went years in combat without meeting someone dangerous enough to inflict the necessary wounds (and probably didn't want to, nor force the transformations to take place in a self-destructive manner, or end up butchered or dead as a result of the transformation failing to get triggered), and only Pedro was [[WorthyOpponent capable of carrying out the task]]. Now he's stuck as a chicken for the rest of his life in addition to having a maimed eye.
*** However, the fact that his followers speak openly about his transformations imply that they have already seen them before, which in turn implies that said transformations are reversible.

** Bonney managed to pierce Saturn... except then he just pulls out the sword and the wound disappears, blood and all, while cooly stating that if he was in danger he would have simply dodged it. This display makes it clear that fighting an Elder, let alone ''hurting'' one, is a very difficult task.

** During the flashback showing Kuma's past[[note]]which is already horrific on its own[[/note]], we learn more about the atrocities committed by the Celestial Dragons. Every three years, they hold a population extermination tournament on an island not affiliated with the World Government, with one of them (this being the one Kuma was at) being God Valley. When the king of God Valley tried to protest his people being hunted for sport, he's cut down by Garling for his defiance.

* The premise of the island. The island has a set time of 1 year as it takes that much time to adjust it. Not mentioning the extremely hostile life, which hasn't evolved like the rest, which involves dinosaurs and pretty much highly harmful insects. And if you try to leave? The Sea Kings take care of you.

[[AC:Alabasta Arc]]
* Rewind back into Alabasta, and we all remember the lovely scene of Crocodile sucking all the moisture out of Mr. 3. Seeing a human wither into a mummy, as Mr. 0 puts it, is very uncomfortable. Made all the worse when he does the same thing to ''Luffy''. In fact, Luffy, who never had lost a fight until then, is suddenly beaten ''twice'' by the Warlord, showing things will no longer be easy for him, and every time he fights Crocodile, he comes close to death. Even when he wins the third round... using his own blood.
* Not to mention Crocodile's systematic [[BreakTheCutie breaking of Vivi]] and the berserker frenzy he whips the rebels and Alabastan army into, to the point that even after everyone is knocked over by a gigantic explosion that would've wiped out everybody if not for Pell's HeroicSacrifice, they just get right back up with crazed expressions and go right back to fighting.
* In general, Crocodile's sadistic habit of giving people false hope in their last moments, then utterly crushing it. After locking everyone up in a [[DeathTrap drowning cage]], he gives Vivi an (almost impossible) chance to find the key to save her friends... said key turns out to be fake. Before dropping Vivi from a building, he tells her that there is a bomb that will explode and destroy her country in five minutes. She survives and manages to find it, but the bomb is on timer anyway.

* Chapter 1095: During the flashback showing Kuma's past[[note]]which is already horrific on its own[[/note]], we learn more about the atrocities committed by the Celestial Dragons. Every three years, they hold a population extermination tournament on an island not affiliated with the World Government, with one of them (this being the one Kuma was at) being God Valley.

** Things are actually looking up for the heroes, as Atlas managed to turn the Pacifistas to their side and Bonney is relatively safe. But then, the Pacifistas turn against them again after an order is broadcasted from the ships. Vegapunk realizes that it can only be one of the Gorosei. At that time, the Marines are told that Saint Saturn is to make landfall, and all low ranking Marines are to avert their eyes as a demonic pentagram circle appears on the ground, out of which raises Saturn. One Marine doesn't heed the warning and accidentally looks into Saturn's eyes, and ''his head pops like a balloon instantly''. And then we see Saturn's full form, in which he's gigantic, has massive devil horns on his head and has the backside of a spider.

** A demonic magic circle appears on Egghead, and all Marines below rear-admiral rank are ordered to avert their gaze. We quickly learn why: as Jaygarcia Saturn emerges from the portal, a Marine sees him and [[YourHeadASplode his head explodes]], possibly due to Saturn's Haki. Saturn looks like a kaiju-sized, demonic spider centaur with horns, and he possesses the same 'smoke shroud' only seen on ''Awakened Zoans''.

* Chapter 1094:
** Bonney managed to wound Saturn... except then he just pulls out the sword and the wound disappears, blood and all, while cooly stating that if he was in danger he would have simply dodged it. Whether it's a Devil Fruit power, a Haki technique, or something entirely new, it shows that it will ''not'' be an easy task to take down a Gorosei.

** Saturn's intimidating Haki manages to frighten '''''everyone''''' who has learned to sense Haki. Even Luffy in the silly-natured form of the Nika is rocked with terror.

** Bonney's NDE attack is surprisingly brutal: she shoots her targets with a bullet that instantly ''ages them to death and back'', leaving them traumatized when they return to normal.

*** Doc Q's Sick-Sick Fruit is especially chill-inducing, by allowing him to create any disease he wants. While in the chapter is mostly PlayedForLaughs by creating a GenderBender disease, just imagine if Doc Q wants to try some of the most lethal diseases form our world, like leprosy or tuberculosis.

*** The narration of the event slips in a chilling reminder of the extent of Imu and the World Goverment's reach and impact throughout the history of the world. It states that the Earthquake "had no parallel in '''recorded''' history"...except, Enies lobby's hole, identical to the impact crater of whatever it was that erased Lulusia from the maps, is ''proof'' that something like this has happened before. For there to have been no records made of it, and for the similar phenomenon at Enies lobby to have become a recognised feature of the area by the present, is an indication of just how ''old'' the World Government actually is, and how long they've been doing horrific acts on this scale and utterly getting away with it, with it being only be the present day that there's signs of the status quo beginning to shift...and even those are being met with brutal resistance and an uphill battle all over the world.

*** The anime adaptation of this scene in Episode 837 is just as nightmare inducing, if not more so. As right as she was about to finish eating the last of the croquembouche, she suddenly emits a shockwave and her [[WingdingEyes eyes morph into hearts]] as she hallucinates about her fellow orphans and Mother Carmel as floating hearts. They then tell her how much they love her and that they'll always play forever, as she stuffs more and more pastries into her mouth. Not only does it look and feel extremely creepy despite the saccharine colors, but there's also the fact that there was no more croquembouche left on the table, and she somehow kept guzzling more of it down. And ''these'' are BIGGER than the ones she ate at first: PEOPLE-sized. And each time she eats one, a heart appears and floats off to the heavens, as if to symbolize [[WingedSoulFliesOffToHeaven another person gobbled up and taken out of this life]].
