* ProdigalFamily: This arc reveals that Sanji is the third child of a royal family. Brook and Chopper wonder about his past, and Nami recollects the conversation about Sanji's family in the Jaya Arc. Later, it's revealed by Pekoms that he is part of a family of assassins. There is obvious tension between Sanji and his family, and in the Whole Cake Island Arc, we see why. At birth, [[spoiler: Vinsmoke Judge (Sanji's father)]] wanted his children to become nothing more than [[TykeBomb Tyke-Bombs]]. After having [[spoiler: an already-super-powered Reiju (Sanji's sister)]], he successfully did so with his sons [[spoiler: Ichiji, Niji, and Yonj]]. However, [[spoiler: thanks to the intervention of Vinsmoke Sora (Sanji's mother) due to the drug she took]] Sanji became a normal human being. His compassion and humility are what drove his brothers and his father to abuse him physically, mentally, verbally, and psychologically for the next couple of years. Fortunately for Sanji, Reiju helped him escape. 13 years later, [[spoiler: he is whisked away and threatened by Big Mom and his father, for the fate of his hands and loved ones, specifically his old crew and his adoptive father Zeff, on the Baratie. Unfortunately, he undergoes more torment by his brothers and father, and WORSE by his manipulative fiancée. Just when hope seems grim, his friends, along with new allies, decide to intervene with a plot to take down Big Mom and rescue his family. After they are rescued and the commotion has settled, Judge asks Sanji for what reason he saved him. Sanji replies that it was to honor his adoptive father's beliefs and tells Judge not to go to him or East Blue again. After even more commotion, as the Straw Hat crew passes by Judge's castle, Judge asks Luffy why he would go so far with Sanji. The latter just responds with a thank you and goodbye.]]

* {{Revision}}: In the previously shown flashbacks to what Sanji and the others were up to, Kaido's men on Zou were hunting a samurai but in this arc, Raizo is a ninja. The flashback sequence reconciles this by having one of Jack's minions mentioning Raizo is strictly speaking a ninja, but the others continue calling him a samurai as a generic term for a warrior from Wano.



* StupidEvil: Subverted when it comes to Jack's rampage against the Minks. His refusal to even try negotiating with the Minks or searching for Raizo seems self-defeatingly foolish, especially given they offer to let him scour the island as he wishes if he'll just stop attacking him. However, it's revealed the Minks were indeed sheltering Raizo and had no intention of letting Jack find him despite their claims. Jack's destructive onslaught, on the other hand, nearly did uncover Raizo as the ninja would have offered himself up to halt the attack if the Minks hadn't bound him hand and foot to prevent that.



* UndyingLoyalty: The entire Mink Tribe to the Kozuki Family of Wano Country. Even when all faced with torture and death, as well as the possible destruction of their entire civilization at the hands of Jack, they denied any knowledge of Raizo's whereabouts.

Even when all faced with torture and death, as well as the possible destruction of their entire civilization at the hands of Jack, they denied any knowledge of Raizo's whereabouts. Even the Kozuki retainers consider it excessive. Raizo calls the Minks "loyal to a fault" after they imprisoned him rather than let him give himself up for their sake.

Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope


* CuddleBug: Nuzzling is a common unisex greeting among Minks, who usually say "Garchu" before doing so. In one of the flashbacks, Sanji tries to abuse this to nuzzle all the Mink women before making a move on Nami. [[ArmorPiercingSlap It didn't work]].

** The Straw Hats' introduction to Raizo the ninja is one big shout-out to ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' (fitting, considering the authors of the two series are friends). Raizo himself is an {{Expy}} of Jiraiya, and he uses ninja scrolls, shuriken techniques, and Naruto's signature clone ability. It’s unknown if it’s intentional casting, but Raizo’s anime voice actor also voiced Might Guy in the ''Naruto'' anime.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Apparently, Rayleigh prevented any from the outside world from reaching Luffy during his two years of training, as he was completely unaware of the Payback War between the Blackbeard Pirates and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates. The others are surprised Rayleigh actually went that far.

* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: After hearing that two of the other Road Poneglyphs are in the possession of Big Mom and Kaido, but that there was a way to copy Ponegylpyhs, Usopp comments that the Straw Hats would be able to obtain them ''without'' having to fight the Emperors. Luffy gives an expression that shows he doesn't like that idea, to Usopp's consternation.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Jack, the crazy, bloodthirsty right-hand man to Kaido with a 1 billion Berry bounty, tries to kill Zunesha -- the eponymous island-sized Zou (elephant) -- with his fleet of ships and some cannons, but he and his crew are immediately sunk by Zunesha's trunk once Momo gives the order to fight back. This may be a world where the strongest fighters can beat literal giants, but Zunesha's still an ''island-sized'' elephant with the strength and mass to match that size. Meanwhile, Jack's just a large human whose Devil Fruit power lets him turn into a still-not-even-close-to-that-size woolly mammoth with a human crew (some of whom ate artificial Zoan Fruits) firing cannons from his fleet of ships on the ocean (which, of course, sinks Devil Fruit users like rocks).
