** The first few chapters of the story establishes that Cross [[PlotAllergy gets a bad case of diarrhea from eating biscuits]]. Months later, Oda introduces [[Characters/OnePieceSweet3Generals an antagonist that can create and manipulate biscuits as weapons]]. Their encounter should be quite amusing.
** In Chapter 24, in response to one of Cross's remarks on the SBS, Zoro asks if Cross knows where he can get an elephant. Elsewhere, Fukuro of [=CP9=] is listening to the broadcast and says "Here," while gesturing to Funkfreed. Come chapters 42 and 43, Funkfreed does indeed wind up joining the crew, albeit as Cross's new partner (though he does team up with Zoro to temporarily take [[WreckedWeapon Yubashiri's]] place at one point while on Thriller Bark).
** In Chapter 28, Soundbite gives Su the speaking voice of a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Vulpix]], as stated in the ShoutOut page. A few months later, [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the latest game of the franchise introduced "regional" variations and a certain fiery fox is given a ice-type relative with white fur and cloudy-like tails and hair tufts.]]
** TB! resolves the Straw Hats' issue of needing an official helmsman by having the newly humanized Merry manning the Sunny's helm when the crew is leaving Water 7. Nearly a year later, Oda finally gives the crew a permanent canon helmsman (not to mention [[IKnewIt confirming fan theories]]) with Jinbe. [[CastSpeciation A fierce but friendly rivalry is sure to abound]] in the fanfic's future.
** TB!Nami receives a power boost in the form of a cloud generated by the Eisen Dial that responds to her subconscious. Come Chapter 903 of the manga, and Canon!Nami has a superpowerful cloud of her own!
*** Of similar note, the story has had Cross inadvertently taking possession of enemy Zoan weapons following the Alabasta and Enies Lobby arcs. The actual canon ends up doing something similar with Nami swiping Big Mom's living cloud, Zeus.
** During the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, the TB! crew is shocked at seeing Cross' obscenely large bounty (which is hinted to be over ''1 Billion''). In Chapter 903, the canon Straw Hats are flabbergasted that Luffy's bounty has been raised to '''1.5 Billion'''. (coincidentally, it was later revealed that this is the '''''exact''''' bounty Cross has gotten)
** During the Post-Enies Lobby arc, Cross finds himself taken to Baltigo to meet with the Revolutionaries and then returned to Water 7, all of which happens in the span of a couple hours, to give the impression that Dragon has scary resources. In Chapter 904, Oda introduces the revolutionary Karasu, who has a Devil Fruit ability to turn into a murder of crows, which would make transporting a person across the Red Line and back in a short time possible.
** In Chapter 26, Vivi brings up the possibility of a time-based Devil Fruit, and Cross says he doesn't know of any. Nearly two and a half years later, it turns out there ''is'' one in canon: the Toki Toki no Mi/Time-Time Fruit, which is limited in that it only allows one-way travel into the future - it ''cannot'' send anyone into the past.
** Doubling as HarsherInHindsight, Awakened!Moria attempted to turn himself into a dragon with [[OneWingedAngel his Nidhogg transformation]]. Kaido is later seen able to turn into a dragon himself. Moria was basically emulating him.
** Chapter 67 has Capone Bege rescue a child slave from a World Noble's ship. He tells Hawkins he's got a soft spot for kids and hopes one day to be a father himself. Cue a couple of years later in the canon storyline...
** At the end of the Thriller Bark arc, in order to keep up with the rest of the crew, Su desires to seek out the Children of Inari in order to gain [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]]-like powers[[note]]likely the timeskip training she'll undergo[[/note]]. In the Wano Arc, [[spoiler: we're shown that Kitsune-like foxes ''do'' exist as one disguised itself as a human[[note]]albeit through a Devil Fruit, but still[[/note]]. Basically, Su will fit in quite well in Wano]].
** Also during the Thriller Bark arc, Leo fights against the zombie of Captain Long John Silverteeth. While a troubling fight for the dugong, it was revealed in Chapter 957 that before leading his own crew, John was a member of the Rocks Pirates alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom. Meaning Leo defeated the reanimated corpse of a New World level pirate.
*** Following his defeat, John gave Leo his own blades after the latter's pair broke when using a RazorWind slash they were not ready to perform. Some time later, Leo acquired the swords of another big name among the Rocks Pirates: [[spoiler: The dual swords Oto and Kagarashi of Shiki the Golden Lion.]]
** On the subject of Shiki, it's shown during the climax of Strong World that one of the Visual Transponder Snails he delivered went to Tottoland. Initially, it was to show that Shiki wanted even the Four Emperors to know of his achievement. [[spoiler:However, with the revelation that he was once part of the Rocks Pirates alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, it can now be seen as Shiki showing off to his old crewmates]].
*** It becomes even more hilarious as, during the [[spoiler:Land Of Wano]] arc, [[spoiler:Kaido uses his Devil Fruit powers to raise his island base into the air, similar to how Shiki raised Merveille]], meaning it will now look like he got the idea from watching Shiki's broadcast.
** In Chapter 920 of the manga, [[spoiler:when Perona leaves Mihawk's island, he comments that it's a good thing she's getting out of dodge, in regards to TheReveal in Chapter 956 that the Warlord system has been abolished. The hilarious part comes in that TB!Perona is one of the Seven Warlords, meaning that when the system is abolished in TB!, she'll be in the same boat as him]].
** Cross, upon learning about Vivi's Sovereign's Will (an offshoot of Conqueror's Haki), expresses genuine surprise that she has it due to its rarity; as Luffy also has Conqueror's Haki, Cross didn't expect anyone else on the crew to inherit it. Come Chapter 1010, and it's revealed that [[spoiler:''Zoro'' has Conqueror's Haki as well]].
*** Doubly hilarious with the following earlier line, which ultimately proved to be unintentional foreshadowing: [[spoiler: "I swear, if [Zoro] didn't have Conqueror's Haki, then the glare he was pinning Lassoo with was close enough to fool anyone on this side of the Red Line who didn't know any better."]]
** 1044 makes this for numerous points in the story: [[spoiler:Giving numerous animals the voices of cartoon characters as well as some of Luffy's more unbelievable moments like outsurfing the Octopus Shogun and mistaking Coby for Natsu Dragneel.]]
** While on [[spoiler:Skelter Bite]], Cross (with Apis's help) convened with a representative of the Sea Kings to guarantee safe passage through the sea for the Straw Hats and their allies [[spoiler:using 'Joy Boy' as a TrustPassword based on Poseidon's promise with the ancient figure. As the manga reveals later on, Joy Boy ends up becoming a more prominent part of the story, especially regarding Luffy]].
** At the end of the Enies Lobby arc, Merry gains a human form by eating a Devil Fruit, with Vivi figuring it was a different model to the Human-Human Fruit that Chopper ate. [[spoiler:The manga reveals that Chopper isn't the only Human-Human Zoan on the crew as it turns out that Luffy's Devil Fruit is really the Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika]].
** The fact that the fanfic has been turning Buggy the Clown into an AdaptationalBadass becomes this in Chapter 1053 where [[spoiler:with the defeat of Big Mom and Kaido, ''Buggy'' has officially been declared one of the new Emperors]].
** During the Water 7 arc, Cross claims that after the blueprints are destroyed, with Robin having no intention to awaken the Ancient Weapons, Pluton will no longer be a concern. [[spoiler:In the final chapters of the Wano arc, it's revealed that Pluton is kept underneath Wano, and that opening the borders of the country - that is, tearing down the walls around the island - will release the lake that was hiding Pluton from the world and unleash the Weapon]].

** During the Water 7 arc, Cross claims that after the blueprints are destroyed, with Robin having no intention to awaken the Ancient Weapons, Pluton will no longer be a concern. [[spoiler:In the final chapters of the Wano arc, it's revealed that Pluton is kept underneath Wano, and that opening the borders of the country - that is, tearing down the walls around the island - will release the lake that was hiding Pluton from the world and unleash the Weapon]].HilariousInHindsight: [[ThisBites/HilariousInHindsight See here]].
** The first few chapters of the story establishes that Cross [[PlotAllergy gets a bad case of diarrhea from eating biscuits]]. Months later, Oda introduces [[Characters/OnePieceSweet3Generals an antagonist that can create and manipulate biscuits as weapons]]. Their encounter should be quite amusing.
** In Chapter 24, in response to one of Cross's remarks on the SBS, Zoro asks if Cross knows where he can get an elephant. Elsewhere, Fukuro of [=CP9=] is listening to the broadcast and says "Here," while gesturing to Funkfreed. Come chapters 42 and 43, Funkfreed does indeed wind up joining the crew, albeit as Cross's new partner (though he does team up with Zoro to temporarily take [[WreckedWeapon Yubashiri's]] place at one point while on Thriller Bark).
** In Chapter 28, Soundbite gives Su the speaking voice of a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Vulpix]], as stated in the ShoutOut page. A few months later, [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the latest game of the franchise introduced "regional" variations and a certain fiery fox is given a ice-type relative with white fur and cloudy-like tails and hair tufts.]]
** TB! resolves the Straw Hats' issue of needing an official helmsman by having the newly humanized Merry manning the Sunny's helm when the crew is leaving Water 7. Nearly a year later, Oda finally gives the crew a permanent canon helmsman (not to mention [[IKnewIt confirming fan theories]]) with Jinbe. [[CastSpeciation A fierce but friendly rivalry is sure to abound]] in the fanfic's future.
** TB!Nami receives a power boost in the form of a cloud generated by the Eisen Dial that responds to her subconscious. Come Chapter 903 of the manga, and Canon!Nami has a superpowerful cloud of her own!
*** Of similar note, the story has had Cross inadvertently taking possession of enemy Zoan weapons following the Alabasta and Enies Lobby arcs. The actual canon ends up doing something similar with Nami swiping Big Mom's living cloud, Zeus.
** During the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, the TB! crew is shocked at seeing Cross' obscenely large bounty (which is hinted to be over ''1 Billion''). In Chapter 903, the canon Straw Hats are flabbergasted that Luffy's bounty has been raised to '''1.5 Billion'''. (coincidentally, it was later revealed that this is the '''''exact''''' bounty Cross has gotten)
** During the Post-Enies Lobby arc, Cross finds himself taken to Baltigo to meet with the Revolutionaries and then returned to Water 7, all of which happens in the span of a couple hours, to give the impression that Dragon has scary resources. In Chapter 904, Oda introduces the revolutionary Karasu, who has a Devil Fruit ability to turn into a murder of crows, which would make transporting a person across the Red Line and back in a short time possible.
** In Chapter 26, Vivi brings up the possibility of a time-based Devil Fruit, and Cross says he doesn't know of any. Nearly two and a half years later, it turns out there ''is'' one in canon: the Toki Toki no Mi/Time-Time Fruit, which is limited in that it only allows one-way travel into the future - it ''cannot'' send anyone into the past.
** Doubling as HarsherInHindsight, Awakened!Moria attempted to turn himself into a dragon with [[OneWingedAngel his Nidhogg transformation]]. Kaido is later seen able to turn into a dragon himself. Moria was basically emulating him.
** Chapter 67 has Capone Bege rescue a child slave from a World Noble's ship. He tells Hawkins he's got a soft spot for kids and hopes one day to be a father himself. Cue a couple of years later in the canon storyline...
** At the end of the Thriller Bark arc, in order to keep up with the rest of the crew, Su desires to seek out the Children of Inari in order to gain [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]]-like powers[[note]]likely the timeskip training she'll undergo[[/note]]. In the Wano Arc, [[spoiler: we're shown that Kitsune-like foxes ''do'' exist as one disguised itself as a human[[note]]albeit through a Devil Fruit, but still[[/note]]. Basically, Su will fit in quite well in Wano]].
** Also during the Thriller Bark arc, Leo fights against the zombie of Captain Long John Silverteeth. While a troubling fight for the dugong, it was revealed in Chapter 957 that before leading his own crew, John was a member of the Rocks Pirates alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom. Meaning Leo defeated the reanimated corpse of a New World level pirate.
*** Following his defeat, John gave Leo his own blades after the latter's pair broke when using a RazorWind slash they were not ready to perform. Some time later, Leo acquired the swords of another big name among the Rocks Pirates: [[spoiler: The dual swords Oto and Kagarashi of Shiki the Golden Lion.]]
** On the subject of Shiki, it's shown during the climax of Strong World that one of the Visual Transponder Snails he delivered went to Tottoland. Initially, it was to show that Shiki wanted even the Four Emperors to know of his achievement. [[spoiler:However, with the revelation that he was once part of the Rocks Pirates alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, it can now be seen as Shiki showing off to his old crewmates]].
*** It becomes even more hilarious as, during the [[spoiler:Land Of Wano]] arc, [[spoiler:Kaido uses his Devil Fruit powers to raise his island base into the air, similar to how Shiki raised Merveille]], meaning it will now look like he got the idea from watching Shiki's broadcast.
** In Chapter 920 of the manga, [[spoiler:when Perona leaves Mihawk's island, he comments that it's a good thing she's getting out of dodge, in regards to TheReveal in Chapter 956 that the Warlord system has been abolished. The hilarious part comes in that TB!Perona is one of the Seven Warlords, meaning that when the system is abolished in TB!, she'll be in the same boat as him]].
** Cross, upon learning about Vivi's Sovereign's Will (an offshoot of Conqueror's Haki), expresses genuine surprise that she has it due to its rarity; as Luffy also has Conqueror's Haki, Cross didn't expect anyone else on the crew to inherit it. Come Chapter 1010, and it's revealed that [[spoiler:''Zoro'' has Conqueror's Haki as well]].
*** Doubly hilarious with the following earlier line, which ultimately proved to be unintentional foreshadowing: [[spoiler: "I swear, if [Zoro] didn't have Conqueror's Haki, then the glare he was pinning Lassoo with was close enough to fool anyone on this side of the Red Line who didn't know any better."]]
** 1044 makes this for numerous points in the story: [[spoiler:Giving numerous animals the voices of cartoon characters as well as some of Luffy's more unbelievable moments like outsurfing the Octopus Shogun and mistaking Coby for Natsu Dragneel.]]
** While on [[spoiler:Skelter Bite]], Cross (with Apis's help) convened with a representative of the Sea Kings to guarantee safe passage through the sea for the Straw Hats and their allies [[spoiler:using 'Joy Boy' as a TrustPassword based on Poseidon's promise with the ancient figure. As the manga reveals later on, Joy Boy ends up becoming a more prominent part of the story, especially regarding Luffy]].
** At the end of the Enies Lobby arc, Merry gains a human form by eating a Devil Fruit, with Vivi figuring it was a different model to the Human-Human Fruit that Chopper ate. [[spoiler:The manga reveals that Chopper isn't the only Human-Human Zoan on the crew as it turns out that Luffy's Devil Fruit is really the Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika]].
** The fact that the fanfic has been turning Buggy the Clown into an AdaptationalBadass becomes this in Chapter 1053 where [[spoiler:with the defeat of Big Mom and Kaido, ''Buggy'' has officially been declared one of the new Emperors]].
** During the Water 7 arc, Cross claims that after the blueprints are destroyed, with Robin having no intention to awaken the Ancient Weapons, Pluton will no longer be a concern. [[spoiler:In the final chapters of the Wano arc, it's revealed that Pluton is kept underneath Wano, and that opening the borders of the country - that is, tearing down the walls around the island - will release the lake that was hiding Pluton from the world and unleash the Weapon]].
