Funny / One Piece: Pirate Warriors

Go To

  • Franky's moveset. Every attack ends in a pose, and they work in as much of his quirkiness as possible. Even the infamous Coup de Boo.
  • Robin's second-tier Super Attack, Dos Fleur: Grab. The bad? It only targets one enemy right in front of Robin, and it's easy to misfire. The good? It's an instant kill on anything short of a boss.
  • Most enemies that are Taken for Granite by Hancock take a funny, lovey-dovey pose. This includes emotionless characters like the Pacifista, and even the most serious of characters, like Mihawk. Let that sink in.
  • Brook's duel with Mihawk doesn't last very long. He parries some of his moves when Mihawk beheads him, then Brook casually shruggs it off saying he's kept alive not because body, muscle or organs, just his soul.
  • Pulling off Whitebeard's level 2 special in the first and second games is usually awesome, but then there are the times where the camera doesn't move in accordance with his special and just stays behind him, which results in him making a yanking motion which does... apparently nothing, but then all the Mooks suddenly rocket into the sky for no apparent reason.
  • Bosses have different phrases they say when you fight them as particular characters. Fighting Buggy as Whitebeard makes him panic and shout "I wanna go home!"
  • Anyone can be affected by Soul King Brook's "Party Music" attack. Just watch as characters like Whitebeard and Smoker dance around like idiots.
  • In Pirate Warriors 3 and 4, after a grueling fight with Lucci, you have to free Robin from Spandam who is escorting her in the Gates of Justice. Except the person you will fight to save Robin is a random Marine Commander who doesn't even have a unique sprite and goes down in a few hits. Considering the wide variety of characters in the games, this feels like an intentional joke at Spandam's expense.
  • In the second game, in the final battle of the normal ending, Zoro and Sanji will try to start an argument while guessing about Moria's location. Keep in mind, in this route Blackbeard and his forces had won the previous battle and the heroes are making a desperate counterattack. Not even that completely stops Zoro and Sanji from arguing.
  • The fourth game's original story has a moment where Luffy, Kid and Katakuri fight against Jack. Aside from the Fridge Logic of Katakuri struggling to take down Jack by himself, he also attempts to take a moment to strategize, commanding Luffy and Kid to co-ordinate attacks. He even does a Futile Hand Reach when they run off before he can finish his sentence.
