Summit War Saga

Road to Sabaody Archipelago

• During the victory party over their win against Shiki, there are plenty of funny moments:
  • The party itself starts when Cross suddenly realizes that despite beating a dastardly villain, saving their home, and coming out of it with hardly a scratch, they still aren't throwing a party. After a Stunned Silence of realization, Cross declares that if they aren't throwing one in three seconds, they all fail at life.
  • A drunken Vivi soars past on a throne made of hands with a whirlwind of confetti surrounding her, declaring herself Queen of the Skies.
  • Cross chucking Mikey into the ocean to retrieve Usopp.
  • Conis's first flight. And subsequent faceplant into the sail.
  • Two Barto Club Mooks arguing about how to pronounce the new Visual Transponder Snail Gif's name - or at least, that's what Soundbite is projecting.
  • Lindy trying to hog the booze to himself, and getting kicked in the nose by Ever, and finally sent to his roost by Apis.
• Everything about the SBS's new visual component, and the most popular show being Zoro's workout routine - which Cross is equating to Softcore Porn much to his chagrin. A good chunk of his female viewership is now blacklisted as a result. To whit:
  • Vivi and Conis are enjoying themselves, with the former telling Cross about the "logical" aspects of filming Zoro (benefiting other swordmen in training and intimidating enemies) while she watches intently, while the latter cheerfully admits that Zoro is ripped and attracts women viewers, much to Cross' annoyance. Cross then getting a call from a very interested female viewer, who makes the suggestion of Zoro slathering himself in olive oil, prompting a very quick blacklist on Cross' part. Robin is reading a book, but is noted as being just a bit too close to the show for his comfort. Then Nami's comment afterwards by wondering if Zoro really would put olive oil on himself makes Cross decide to wash his hands of the whole affair.
  • Outside of the Straw Hats is pretty funny as well, with Alvida casually throwing her Chief of Staff away when he goes to change the channel in order to keep watching, and the Okamas (Bentham, Ivankov, and Inazuma) of Level 6 taking immense interest due recognizing to the sheer intensity of Zoro's workout regime. Inazuma seems to take interest in Zoro's muscles...only to reveal they're talking about his swords, much to Bentham's annoyance.
  • And Tashigi matching the workout on her own Marine ship - including being sans clothing on her upper torso (though still wearing a bra), with Smoker having to chase off all the other oglers. Although he himself does a Double Take when he notices that she’s using his jutte as an exercise bar.
• Upon seeing the Red Line, Miss Goldenweek become stricken by inspiration and immediately wants to paint it, requiring Miss Valentine to watch her so she doesn't walk off the Cannibal in a stupor...again.
• When Keimi appears on the Sunny, she ends up faceplanting on the mast and Sanji catches her. When she actually responds to his chivalry... he can't hold back his Nose Bleed anymore. And guess who gets a bath?
  • Later, Keimi admits that she got caught up in imagining she was Ariel in the story of The Little Mermaid... although a different version to what Soundbite is thinking of.
    Keimi: I think my favorite bit was when the Sea Kings ripped the evil slave merchants to shreds!
• While greeting Keimi, Su asks how long they need to cook her for maximum savoriness. Conis gives her a quick swat.
• When Brook asks Keimi for some money (since she doesn't have panties he can ask to see), Cross is shocked when she actually brings out a huge wad of cash. Bartolomeo promptly snatches it from her... then to his shock, Nami just as quickly hands it back to Keimi. She also took Barto's wallet as an "idiot tax".
• When Pappug introduces himself as the designer for the Criminal fashion brand, Nami is instantly excited at how prolific the brand is... before trying to Verbal Backspace when she inadvertently alludes to how much those clothes cost, within earshot of her other Straw Hat officers, chiefly those who suffer from her stinginess.
  Zoro: Noooo, please, don't stop there.
  Cross: Yesss. Do tell us just how much of our treasure, which we shed blood, sweat, and tears for, you've spent on your wardrobe.
• Soundbite finally getting the chance to sing the Spongebob Squarepants theme song, upon meeting a talking starfish.
  • The Deleted Scenes makes it even better. Not only do the Idiot Trio and Keimi join in on the chant portion, Franky, Merry, and Conis join too, and proceed to flop like fish when said verse comes up. And then Nami, now drunk off her ass to deal with Soundbite's singing, uses the Eisen cloud to replicate the animatronic fish. By the end of it, Cross's eyes are twitching, his sanity is dying, and Robin is consoling him over the small mercy the song doesn't have a second verse.
• The crew's reaction when Duval shows his face.
• This line of narration when Chopper and Su attack some fishmen:
  We draw a veil over the scenes of indescribable carnage, due to intense ultraviolence, general vulgarity, and the fact that half of the techniques performed by Tony Tony Chopper were illegal in the great state of Texas. We humbly apologize for the inconvenience.
• As it turns out, Vivi knew about the Vinsmokes and Germa 66 and even thought that Sanji was a dead ringer for his brother Niji. The reason she never brought it up? It slipped her mind.
• When Cross asks Sandersonia how her eldest sister fares, the Amazon happily reports she's not kicking small animals anymore! She only steps on them. Progress, right?
• Kuroobi sarcastically joking about the fact that a Revolutionary and a Warlord's sister walking into a bar need a Marine to make it a perfect day. And shortly after the Straw Hats arrive, in comes Tashigi as well.
• Hachi manages to actually calm down the situation when Tashigi first shows up... by confusing everybody on both sides when he claims that swordfighting is forbidden in the restaurant except during the biannual squinja migration. That is, the migration of the clans of squid ninjas.
  • When Tashigi tries to press the issue, promising to pay for damages herself, Popora Dope Slaps her, reminding her and showing everyone else present that she can't afford that because all her money went to exercise equipment to keep up with Zoro.
  • Hachi also intimidates Kuroobi and Chew into behaving themselves by threatening to tie them to the anchor chain. Again.
• After Cross convinces Zoro to give Tashigi the fight they both need, Chopper voices his... opinion about swordsmen.
  Zoro: Chopper, sorry for the mess.
  Chopper: (giving off a "pleasant" smile that makes everyone take two steps away from him.) Nooo, it's perfectly fine! You see, I'm wrapping up my research on the transmogrative properties of Zoan-flesh, and I found a new project to start on once I'm done! (transforms into Human Point) HOW SWORDS APPARENTLY CUT TWENTY POINTS CLEAN OFF THE TOP OF A PERSON'S I.Q. AND SLAUGHTER SAID PERSON'S SENSE OF SELF-PRESERVATION! (smiles at Zoro) oh, but don't worry, I won't research you or anything! After all, I can't rightly use you as a constant, seeing as I expect this penalty is accrued for each sword a person wields, THEREBY MAKING YOU AN EXTREME OUTLIER!
  Funkfreed: Ah... you... do realize that I am a sword, right?
  Chopper: (Waves him off) Yes, but both your previous and current wielders were suicidal idiots before they got their hands on you, so I consider you to be the exception.
  Funkfreed: Withdrawn.
  Cross: Protested!
  Zoro: Ignored.
• Cross utilizes his seeming omniscience to keep Koala and Sandersonia by threatening to tell their comrades/sisters about that and that. They both start freaking while he lampshades how useful a reputation for knowing everything and Noodle Incidents are.
• The World Government's latest decision to bring Jeremiah Cross to his knees: sending Cipher Pols in the East Blue to find his homeland and inflict a Buster Call upon it. When he’s told this, Cross broke down alright, and his crew followed suit... from laughter, that is.
• Sandersonia insists there's only one thing to do when a Warlord's underling, an executive in the Revolutionary Army, and a Marine can stand together as friends: Get wasted! She then slithers off to raid the Thousand Sunny's liquor cabinet while fighting off the confused Straw Hats at the same time.
• Apparently, Chew had told Kuroobi that Usopp had defeated him using a smoke bomb instead of falling for his Rubberband of Doom bluff. Upon Cross revealing the truth, Chew tries to deny it... until Soundbite yells out "Rubberband of Doom!", causing Chew to duck and cover in panic.
• Cross's insanity is so great that when he hatches a new plan, Tashigi and Sandersonia try to leap overboard rather than get caught up in it. Too bad Luffy snags them.
  • Even Cross is impressed that the latter is so desperate to avoid it that she'd jump into the sea despite being a Devil Fruit user.
  • When Koala confirms that she isn't integral to Cross's plans, she cheekily decides to ditch Tashigi and Sandersonia. Cross promptly changes his mind, gets Nami to catch her, and plops her with the other two "detainees".
• When the Straw Hats decide to head towards Skelter Bite, Tashigi insists she can't come since she's a Marine and it's a pirate haven. Cross responds by stomping on her foot and declaring she'll need a custom peg leg for the next several days as she poses as the Straw Hat's new cabin girl, T. A. Shigi.
• Fifteen minutes after everyone's left for Skelter Bite, the Dugongs and Keimi surface, having missed everything that happened while they searched for ingredients. They're less than happy.
  [DID THOSE RAGING BASTARDS FORGET US!?]
  "NOT AGAIN! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS MO-O-OOONTH!"
  [Don’t suppose there’s a Man’s Romance about this, is there, Boss?]
  [OH, THERE’S GONNA BE A ROMANCE ALRIGHT! MY FLIPPER DOWN THEIR THROATS!]
  [GO, BOSS, GO!]

Skelter Bite

• When the group gets to Skelter Bite, they find the skull-shaped gatehouse glaring at them with glowing red spotlights and a booming voice demanding their identity. Unfortunately for the Risky Brothers, they're simply outclassed.
  Risky Brothers: WHO DARES TO APPROACH THE IMPREGNABLE BUCCANEER BASTION OF SKELTER BITE?
  Soundbite: YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, FOOLS.
  Risky Brothers: AAGH! (Leap out of the gatehouse into the water)
• Robin is excited when she sees skeleton-laden gallows welcoming them into Skelter Bite, only to be deflated when she realizes that they're fake.
• One crew tried to collect on a bounty issued by Big Mom by coming in guns blazing. The initial charges are of Attempted Murder (Unjustified/Unprovoked), but the last charge is "Failed to Make Lola Break a Sweat".
• One crew got kicked out of Skelter Bite for theft, to Tashigi's confusion. Then she reads the footnote saying the crew got kicked out for being stupid enough to get caught.
• Upon seeing an apparent zombie rising from it's grave, Luffy goes with his canon response of shoving it back in.
• Spoil, the aforementioned "zombie", refuses to let the Straw Hats pass without answering three questions. Cross turns it back on the guy by asking him three questions then allowing him to pass.
• When Zoro somehow appears in front of the group (despite there only being a single path), Tashigi demands to know where he came from, to which Zoro tells her to blame his parents. Everyone present immediately looks to Cross... even Luffy, who’s well-established as hating to have Cross "spoil" anything thanks to his meta-knowledge. The disappointment when Cross admits that he actually doesn't know who Zoro's parents are, because Oda never covered that part of his backstory, is palpable.
• The Kung Fu Dugongs finally arrive at Skelter Bite and are pissed at Sanji for leaving them behind. Even though Boss is quickly sated by the presence of his old friends from the Great Kung Fu Fleet, the TDWS are still angry and fight Sanji. Big. Mistake.
  NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FAAAACE! (Crack) BACK TO THE FACE! BACK TO THE FAAAACE!
• Izo throws out two patrons out of his hotel and demands answers as to why they made a commotion. The first mentions he’s a lawyer, prompting Izo to knock him out, apologize to the other patron, and give him free drinks.
  • We later find out that his hotel has a gong that functions much like SBS Foghorn for breaking up the rowdier of fights.
• Lola is about to discuss "matters" regarding Perona's addition to the Masons. Cross is having none of it^note  He already suffered enough vouching for a former enemy with Robin at the conclusion of Alabasta and escapes out an open window, leaving Nami behind to face her wrath.
  • Cross also wonders why only three of the Emperors sent representatives to court them, but not the Red Hairs. Cue Lucky Roux coming out of a bar, trying to remember what he was here to do, and then getting quickly sidetracked by the prospect of food nearby.
• Why does Merry recognise that the upcoming comedy club is made out of one of Oars's funny bones? Because she's a kid and at the age where knowledge sticks better - and because she's a kid and she found the fact funny.
• Tashigi is Drowning Her Sorrows at getting swept up in Straw Hat shenanigans, Koala is keeping her company, and Sandersonia is having the time of her life while using a once-cocky rookie as a yo-yo.
• Nami, Billy, Conis and Su run into Urouge, who’s trying to follow the Straw Hats' example and find an Animal Companion, but isn't having any luck so far with finding a beast that is able to keep up with him. Now, remember that the Noodle Incident on Kyuka Island involving him was Nosebleed-inducing.
• Robin and Usopp sharing stories with ex-Giant Marines Lacroix and Ronse, talking about their old mutual friend Jaguar D. Saul. Included are stories about how Saul had to knit a pair of battleship sails and how he exercised his Observation Haki during poker night.
• Soundbite busts a gut when he finds out that one of their guides is an ex-Rolling Pirate named Jagger.
• Vivi's entrance into a Mason meeting by emerging from her Logia form leaves her sprawled out on the floor.
• When Nami and Apoo first meet and shake hands, they immediately reveal they both pickpocketed each other simultaneously. Even more amazing, the wallets belonged to Vivi and Foxy.
• When Luffy drops off the top of Skelter Bite, he smashes into what Lola is sure is the same building they had just fixed after Kid got through with it. Nami just tells her to add it to their tab.
• The TDWS full stop. Turned into Bandage Mummies due to their badly-thought attempt for vengeance against Sanji, retreating during the eating contest between Luffy & Bonney for fear Sanji will make good on his word in using them as "ingredients" for the contest and (Donny, Raphey and Mikey only) facing the wrath of Leo when he obtains Shiki's swords for all their "comments" when he still couldn't come up with ranged attacks back in Water 7.
  • And then Mikey gets stabbed in the ass by one of Jewelry Bonney's thrown skewers.
• Isaiah and Terry show up to deliver a message. With Terry trying to be incognito.
  Terry: BECAUSE WE'RE HERE INCOGNITO, I'M DOING MY BEST TO BE POWERFULLY SUBTLE! WHILE WE SPEAK, CALL ME HALE CAESAR!
  Mikey (to Isaiah): And you are?
  Isaiah (facewinging): Embarrassed to be seen with him. Obviously.
• After Cross spells out his potential world-shaking plans for the Supernovas and the Sabaody Archipelago, he suddenly finds himself beset by a panting Sandersonia about three seconds away from jumping his bones. Luckily Koala manages to knock her out... except that she's not holding herself back much better.
• As the Straw Hats enter the main meeting with the other Supernovas, Vivi tries to get everyone on their best behaviour. The best she gets is a promise that they won't start any violence in the first five minutes.
• When they meet face to face for the first time in public, Jeremiah Cross and Scratchman Apoo begin a series of Volleying Insults fit for two rivals in radio DJ-ing. At least until the insults devolve into name calling and the two can't take it anymore, and they burst out laughing revealing the whole rivalry as a joke.
  • And the other Supernovas paying X Drake.
• Nami Fangirl-ing over Capone Bege, with even her own Eisen Cloud trying to hold her back.
• What's Soundbite's comment when he first meets "Monster Gun" Vito? That he fits a trend that those who name themselves after their tools are tools.
• After Cross tells Vito how Bege would not be prepared to take on the Straw Hats, Eustass Kid then tells him, "Do me."^note  He actually meant for Cross to tell him how the Straw Hats/Luffy would beat him/his crew. Cross's brain literally shuts down and then begs Killer to quickly kill him.
  Error 404. J-Cross.EXE has encountered a fatal error. Initiating self-destruct sequence.
  Cross: (holding one of Killer's arm blades to his throat) Please. Just make it quick.
• Kid later badmouths Merry and every "child" crew member in general at the meeting, only for everyone to learn he himself has a young girl working as his ship's engineer.
  • As an added bonus once Kid gets Adelle to scram after giving her money to buy coal, Merry taunts him by asking for an allowance herself.
• Bonney insults Hawkins. He predicts that in short order someone is going to choke on a chicken bone. When Luffy does so instead of Bonney, Hawkins apologizes to him.
• Cross notes that the tension and egos among the Supernovas is extremely high. How does he defuse the situation? A free-for-all Bar Brawl among all the assembled crews! Several highlights:
  • Just the fact that Killer was also wondering how to get all the captains to calm down... and he's the one that Cross smashes first with a chair.
  • Soundbite blaring "Bad Reputation"
  • Bepo getting stuck up to his waist through a wall and saying, "Oh, bother."
  • Cross fending of Killer's blades with a whiskey bottle.
  • Cross managing to get on X. Drake's dino-Zoan form and invoking Rule of Three to being yet another T-Rex he has managed to ride on top of.
  • Mikey getting stabbed in the ass again.
  • Cross utilizing The People's Elbow during the brawl - and gets bitchslapped out of the air. And then promptly goes back for a second try.
• Mikey revising his original thought of "if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid" to "if it's stupid and works... sometimes it's still stupid".
• Tashigi goes fullblown sword otaku while talking to Funkfreed, enough to make the elephant nervously lean away from her and clarify that his sexual instincts come from his sword half.
• In the meantime, Zoro and Sanji are "sparring" in the background. When Vivi pops in and starts staring at them, Cross asks her if she's hoping for more beefcake, garnering an intense Luminescent Blush from her.
  • Vivi remarks Zoro and Sanji are "incredibly Kismet for each other" which, after affirming does not mean shipping, she explains roughly translates to "Two souls determined to hatefuck each other in the personality".
  • Shortly afterwards, Cross tries to take a bite of Tashigi's salad, only for her to nail his hand to the table with a knife, causing Vivi to remark they're another pair that's Kismet for each other.
    • And when Funkfreed helps himself to the salad, Tashigi uppercuts him.
• Cross's solemn conversation with Law is interrupted by Brook after one of his panty runs, and then it turns serious when Brook challenges Cross to a sword duel for the sole title of One-Sword-Style master on the Straw Hat crew.
  Cross: ...is it too late to get you to put me into a medically induced coma for the rest of the week? Or him, for that matter?
  Law: Sorry, Jeremi-ya. But while I could do that... I just think this will be more fun to watch.
• Bonney wandering into a restaurant with both Luffy and Lucky Roux in attendance... and both completely missing making eye contact through coincidentally-timed menu lifts, menu lowering, and head turns.
  • Then they finally make eye contact... and it's revealed they'd known the other was there the whole time.
  • And then Nami finds out that Luffy said he'd cover their bill.
• The aforementioned duel with Brook comes up, with Cross getting absolutely No Sympathy from his crew on account of how much money they're making off of bets. The only consolation is Leo saying that they're playing it to the hilt for the show... and not telling Cross because they knew he'd do exactly the same to them. Cross is forced to admit that Leo's right, but still swears bloody vengeance on the rest of the crew anyways.
  • When he draws Funkfreed, he takes a moment to ask if he was in on the whole thing. Funkfreed hesitantly says that at the very least, he didn't say "no" to it. Mercifully, yet begrudgingly, Cross decides to label Funkfreed a "bystander"
    Funkfreed: Oh thank you merciful elephant Buddha!
    Cross: ...there's an elephant—? No, wait, let me guess: you assume?
    Funkfreed: How'd you know?
• While the Supernova crews are bonding, Cross spots Kid and Apoo poring over notebooks. It turns out they're comparing notes on expletives.
• Various scenes from the Dead End Race toward the blockade:
  • Cross ordering Gif and Soundbite to blur and mute the Kid Pirates due to their excessive carnage and Eustass Kid's potty mouth. Soundbite takes notes of Kid's choices of expletives.
  • Itomimizu trying and failing to stop Cross from saying 'All is fair in love, war and pirate games.'
  • First Mate Dugong and Foxy tag-teaming a scarf-wielding marine captain, causing her to land on a wooden horse.
    First Mate: And why do you have something like that?
    Foxy: Trust me, that is a long and complicated tale that I don't want to tell and you don't want to know...
  • The reactions of the Supernovas to the Gaon Cannon. Bartolomeo is fanboying and cheering, as usual, Bonney less so, Drake gets a massive Jaw Drop, Bege is drooling over having a weapon like the Gaon Cannon of his own, Apoo and Urouge are laughing their asses off, Kid is cursing up a storm, Killer is left in Stunned Silence, Hawkins is, as Cross says, "pulling an Eneru", or at least a watered-down version of it, and the usually unflappable Trafalgar D. Water Law ends up getting starry-eyed.
    • Their reactions to the Coup de Burst are much less awe and more impotent fury. And yet still hilarious.
  • Cross parachuting off of the bird he and Itomimizu were riding... and faceplanting into Sunny's main mast.

Sabaody Revolution

• Nami complains about having to leave her Clima-Tact behind to stay incognito.
  Nami: I feel naked right now...
  (Zoro, Vivi, and Cross stop and stare at her in disbelief)
  Nami: I dress skimpy, but I always wear something!
• The fact that Vice Admiral Komei has had to have his memory modified by Vice Admiral Tsuru five times already. The elderly woman is getting rather exasperated with Komei and makes him write reports of how he found out every single time and puts him on latrine duty to boot. Said reports are giving Komei a case of carpal tunnel syndrome.
• The Supernovas are going to town on the Saboady slavers when one gets the bright idea to threaten them with the fact that the marines will be on their side. The response is less than encouraging... for the slaver.
  Slaver: "Don't you get it!? We've gotten away with this for this long because the law is on our side! Once they get to their ships, the port authority'll shut you down, and if you try fighting back, Marineford is right next door!"
  Penguin (to Hawkins): "Oh, can we tell him? Please tell me we can tell him! I really love how the hope dies in their eyes when we tell them this bit!"
• Midway through Chapter 76, Cross tells the Supernovas that he intends to put the current plan to shame with his new one, but is interrupted by none other than freaking Yzma, who turns out to be a crazed fangirl. And it just so happens that the bar he's in has the lever from Yzma's lab.
  Chemist: AAAH! WRONG LEveeeeer...!
  Cross: Noooope, I'm pretty sure that was definitely the right lever. (Beat) ...why do you even have that lever?
  • The best part is that Kronk’s running the bar this happens in. It takes the bartender offering his spinach puffs for Cross to realize why this seemed so familiar. Meanwhile, Soundbite ends up laughing so hard he slides off Cross's shoulder.
• When Libia delivers the document declaring Grove 77 the sovereign embassy of the Ryugyu kingdom, she says that she regrets that the occasion cannot be given the fanfare it deserves. Robin promptly pops a party popper while Vivi blows a curly party blower. With streamers. Without changing facial expressions.
• Cross winding up Tashigi using their public personas as wanted pirate and strait-laced Marine. It's only half fabricated for the public.
  Cross: Be honest with me: is there another pirate? Is he... Is he more infuriating than me?
  • Listening in to this, Nami questions whether hatefucking can be done verbally.
  • Apoo notes she's obviously not witnessed the banter between Kid and Law since the Supernovas teamed up. According to him, it's "sickening, bizarre, probably banned in most of the World… and kind of awe-inspiring to watch."
  • Robin promptly tosses him a Tone Dial for a recording.
    Apoo: For research, I'm guessing?
    Robin: …mostly blackmail, but Chopper greatly appreciates any contributions to his research.
• At Sabaody, Cross runs into Saint Charloss. Just when it seems disaster is inevitable, it turns out Charloss is a fanboy of his.
• It's not every day when one of the Elder Stars tempts fate by hoping that Charloss inherited some intelligence from his father... only to be proven wrong and then Dope Slapped by his katana-wielding colleague.
• After Luffy punches out Saint Charloss, Kuroobi and Chew rip into the Straw Hats for how stupid that was and that they’ll now have an admiral after them, only for Nami to step in.
  Nami: Excuse me. But can I present a counterargument?
  Kuroobi: Yeah, sure.
  Nami: Fuck the World Nobles.
  Kuroobi: ...Checks out.
• As the Straw Hats observe the auction, waiting for the right time to strike, Vivi takes the time to whistle-blow the names of all the royalty and other nobles present who participate in slavery. One of those she recognizes is an old rival princess of hers, and Vivi's reaction is priceless. Vivi then promises sanctuary and lucrative employment to anybody who sets off a molotov cocktail in her room and steal some of her dresses in the process.
  Vivi: I always knew she bought her boyfriends, but I didn't think she actually literally bought them!
• Just as Kizaru is prepared to kill the entire Straw Hat-Supernova Alliance, Rayleigh steps in and stops him by grabbing his leg. Borsalino's reply says it all.
  Kizaru: …Please let go. I need that leg to run away from you.
  • Rayleigh decides to use Borsalino to send a message to the Elder Stars... in the literal sense. To wit, he throws him clear all the way from Sabaody Archipelago, right into the Elders' room in Mariejois.
  "…here to deliver a status update, Admiral?"
  • After giving said status update, Kizaru is congratulated for performing his tasks and then dismissed... but he can't leave the wreckage of the Elders' coffee table due to his injuries. The Five groan collectively before one of them calls for a medic.
• X Drake threatens the Straw Hats violently after the fight with Kizaru and is met by the entire crew giving him a combined Death Glare. His response is to turn around and haul ass to distance himself from not "monsters" (which was strangely crossed out), but "the other pirates", as far away as possible.
• A moment of levity comes up when the Supernovas are running for their lives from the Pacifistas and Luffy saves them, Law takes some exception to Hawkins apparent 'prediction'.
  In the midst of the chaos of the hasty retreat everyone started beating, Hawkins took a moment to nod with complete certainty.
  Hawkins: "Exactly as predicted."
  Well. Bugging out could wait a moment, because no, Law was not going to let that slide. "Oh, bull-shit!"
• Smoker asking Tashigi to explain why he had to issue a gag order for the bounty of one Cabin Girl T. A. Shigi.
• Boss and the TDWS stood ready with the other Straw Hats for Kuma to send them to where they need to train. After the three day trip, the dugongs wake up... and find themselves on the Thousand Sunny, still at Sabaody Archipelago. Even Rayleigh was surprised.
  [WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT BUCKET OF BOLTS THINKING?!]

Amazon Treachery

• The sheer nonchalance with which Luffy decides the best way to get a straight answer as to why the Kuja are after him as an "attempted assassin" is by kidnapping Marguerite, and proceeds to do so.
• The reason why the amazons are mad at Luffy, Cross, and the Straw Hats in general. They passed out during the last SBS when Luffy punched out Charloss and have yet to wake up.
  • Sandersonia chewing out the Kuja for simply not trying to wake her sisters up.
  • ...Then doing so herself by using Granny Nyon as a human projectile to knock Marigold out of bed. Which she admits she's mostly doing because they keep stealing all her snake wine.
• The fact that 'Act of Straw Hat' is now a legitimate recognized excuse for assassins failing their mission.
• The recurring sisterly bickering between Sandersonia and Marigold. Especially when Sandersonia needles Marigold about stealing all the Sea King jerky, which prompts an indignant Marigold to defend that her weight is a glandular problem, which Sandersonia responds to by bluntly telling her that nobody buys that explanation.
• After thanking Luffy for saving her and her nation, Hancock falls into a lovestruck state with constant mumbling. The best that Nyon could decipher is that she’s deciding names for her and Luffy's eighth child’s great-grandchild.
  • Both Sonia and Marigold are peeved that during the briefing Cross gave to the New World Masons, he withheld the fact that their sister falls in love with his captain.
• The fact that Soundbite taught Luffy "the song that gets on everybody's nerves".
• A drunken Boa Hancock trying to use Salome as a pipe.
• When Momonga brings up reports that Sandersonia was seen in Sabaody four days ago, Hancock shoots him down by pointing out that there's no way that Sandersonia could possibly have been there since it takes at least a week to sail between Amazon Lily and Sabaody. Then Sandersonia decides to taunt Momonga by stripping down to reveal she's wearing a cheap Sabaody souvenir T-shirt (slightly charred from the battle), and there's not a damn thing he can do about it.

Decks of the World

• Zoro's encounter with the humandrills has become bewildering for him because they've been observing the Straw Hats on the SBS for over a year, meaning they now fight like they were copies of his crewmates.
• Nami laments that lacking Soundbite as a translator means she'll be spending two years in limited communication with Billy.
  • When Nami hears that the extreme weather specialists regularly have to haggle for more repair money during Weatheria's budget meetings, her eyes turn to Beri signs and she makes a sound like a cash register. This freaks out Haredas even more than her enthusiasm for extreme weather study.
• Usopp has been trying to gain an animal companion on the Boin Archipelego, which is near impossible thanks to their immense gluttony.
• Chopper's attempts to bring peace between the people of Torino and the mega-birds hits a roadblock because his first encounter with the former was riding the back on the latter.
• Robin makes short work of the soldiers at Tequila Wolf, and walks away while humming Do You Believe in Magic akin to Pyro from Team Fortress 2's Meet The Pyro.
• When asked how he’s able to stand the cold of Baldimore island by its governors, Franky boasts that he’s wearing a thermal speedo. After one of them says that his claim makes no sense, he admits he can tolerate the cold by avoiding thinking about it.
• Brook trying to deal with the cultists of Namakura is rather tragically hilarious.
• A meta one in the author's notes.
  Cross-Brain AN: The good news? We have a few allies savvy enough to realize what's coming, waiting to support Luffy. And the bad news? Well, for anyone who thought we'd show where Cross ended up after all...
  (Beat)
  Happy April Fools Day.

Impel Downfall

• The rumors that are starting about Amazon eating habits due to the fact that they're smuggling Luffy and Marigold's lamentations when she’s left to shoulder the burden when Sandersonia takes a a walk.
  Marigold: You can't leave me alone like this! Hancock's untouchable, it'll all fall on me! They'll think I'm a fat glutton!
  Hancock: And that's wrong... how, exactly?
  Marigold: AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND WITH INFATUATION!?
• Shortly after Sandersonia returns from trying to break Momonga’s faith in the Marines, she contemplates the idea of being “the Ophiuchus to his Pisces” on account of how irritating he is. Marigold then takes the opportunity to reveal that some people have put money on how “[Cross and Tashigi] really feel about each other.” Sandersonia than proceeds turns deathly pale.
  • Apparently Boa Hancock was listening to this conversation because when she meets Tashigi, Hancock identifies her as “the woman antagonistically attracted to Cross“. Tashigi’s response is nothing short of pure black hatred.
• Tashigi getting jealous over Domino pulling off Scary Shiny Glasses so effortlessly.
• Luffy gives Buggy a letter written by Cross to convince the clown to help his captain. He not only reveals the reason Luffy is in Impel Down, but that Ace is both Luffy's brother and Roger's son and that Buggy himself was part of Roger's crew. Cross then writes for Buggy to pick his jaw off the floor, which the clown cursed as he clicked his joint back into place.
• In their fight against an insectoid monster, Luffy hastily tosses a sea king steak at its fight. Everyone fighting stops at his action, and only a few moments later a Sea King bursts from the canal and bites the monster's head off.
  Luffy: All according to cake... or whatever it is Soundbite says when he's being smug.^note The correct word is 'keikaku,' taken from the Japanese 'keikaku doori' that means the trope name, but this exact phrasing is a reference to a fandub of Death Note where the character said, "All according to keikaku." Also, the misnaming as 'cake' comes from episode 60 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
  Galdino: (Dope Slaps him with a wax hammer) THE HELL IT WAS!
• The Minotaurus accidentally smashing a hole in the floor and sending Luffy, Buggy and Galdino down to Level 3... which is then followed by a giant-blooded prisoner comforting the evidently upset Zoan by reassuring him that the three are tough enough to survive the fall. The Minotaurus takes genuine comfort in the action... then realizes who's talking to him, punches him out cold, and then proceeds to wade into the newly formed brawl between the prisoners and the beasts.
  And like that, all was at least momentarily right with the second Hell again.
• After Luffy warns Buggy not to do so, Buggy decides to take it up to eleven with yelling that there's no one able to take down Luffy, that no other BioMEGAs will come, that no one else is going to attack Impel Down, that he's living the best day of his life, and topping it off with some textbook examples such as "two days to retirement." The result? Both Saldeath and Smoker discovering him through the security and the Caribou Pirates and the World Pirates breaking into Impel Down.
  Buggy: Just a little longer like this and we'll be free as birds.
  Luffy: Don't say that yet. Whenever Cross or anyone else says that things start getting bad. And the last two times it was the same Warlord.
  Buggy: (gives a Slasher Smile) Come on, Straw Hat. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like Magellan is here yet, and nothing else in this prison could stand up to you.
  Luffy: ...Buggy—
  Buggy: I'm having the best day of my life, things couldn't get any worse than they have been already!
  Luffy: Buggy—!
  Buggy: And it's not like anyone else has the balls to attack Impel Down, or like we'll have to deal with any more of the monsters you smashed up, you already know most of the tricks—
  Luffy: BUGGY, I SWEAR I'LL—!
  Buggy: AND BESIDES, NOTHING EXCITING EVER HAPPENS HERE, THE VOLCANOES HAVE BEEN DORMANT FOR YEARS, THE WALLS HAVEN'T BEEN BREACHED IN CENTURIES, AND I'M TWO DAYS FROM RETIREMENT WITH A WIFE AND TWO FLASHY KIDS! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!
  (cut to surveillance room)
  Impel Down Guard 1: He's going on suicide watch when this is over, isn't he?
  Impel Down Guard 2: That's if he survives that long.
  Saldeath: Which he won't once Warden Magellan gets his hands on him, of that I assure you.
  • How does Luffy "punish" his Tempting Fate? By making Buggy a makeshift Cephalothorax (head with limbs attached) and placing the rest of his body in a sack, while the Clown runs around on his stubby limbs demanding his body to be released.
  • And later on, Saldeath finds our favorite pirate clown:
    Saldeath: 'Two days to retirement?!' 'Two days to retirement,' are you fucking kidding me!? First you humiliate my Blugori, and now this!? You're a dead man, you 'flashy' son of a bitch, you hear me!? The second we get you back in chains, I am going to chop you up, desiccate your pieces in Level 3, broil them in 4, CHILL THEM IN 5, AND THEN FEED YOU TO EVERY ONE OF MY BLUGORI, PIECE BY TWITCHING PIECE!
• While trying to navigate through the barren wasteland of Level 3, Luffy dreams up chibi version of his officers to try and help him. It goes as well as you think...
  • Chibi Zoro's plan is to go random directions and cut through any cells.
  • Chibi Nami rambles about techobabble before going into another random direction
  • And Chibi Cross yells that since he's a figment of Luffy's imagination, he only knows as much as Luffy.
  • And Luffy decides to climb to the high point and jump down towards his destination. The narrative states that the Chibi version of the rest of his crew would give a "so-so" rating on that plan.
• Luffy meeting Saldeath for the first time.
  Saldeath: If you'd be so kind as to indulge my curiosity...?
  Luffy: Obviously, I'm here to break someone out. But you really think I'd tell you who it is? I'm not that stupid.
  Saldeath: Yes, you are.
  Luffy: ...alright, I am, but Cross told me not to, so there!
  • Saldeath proceeds to complain at just how Cross does not even need to be there to ruin a World Government employee's day.
• Luffy's plan to get into the fifth floor of Impel Down?
  Luffy: I surrender.
  Magellan: ... You're playing me. I. Know. You're playing me.
  Luffy: Yeah.
• Usopp's "real" contribution to the care package? A rubber band.
• The "lockpicks" that Robin gave Luffy? Several bundles of high explosives, the sight of which makes Mr. 3 mutter about how he always knew she was off.
• While tracking down the escaped Luffy in Level 5, Tashigi mentions to the Guards accompanying her the reasons Popora is on her back: He's too small to make it across the high snowbanks, that she's grown accustomed to him (even mentioning growing fond of unlikeable individuals), and that his paws are literally frozen to her back and she can't get rid of him.
• After injecting Luffy with his Emporio Healing Synthesis, Ivankov privately mentions to Bentham (aka Mr. 2) that he's personally focusing on protecting Luffy's life over Ace's, because he's afraid of what the Straw Hats and a number of other very powerful people will do to him if Luffy doesn't make it. Bentham is indignant... right until Ivankov mentions Cross's letter told him that Sanji is currently training on Momoiro Island. At which point Bentham changes his tune so fast he almost gets whiplash.
• The meeting between Hancock and Perona reduces the latter to a blushing, stuttering mess.
• Ivankov boggling at Luffy's recovery time. Specifically, when he learns that Sanji's "Death's Door Lunchbox" almost killed Luffy. For context: the lunchbox is a Dangerous Forbidden Technique designed only for when the eater is on the brink of death. Anything less runs a risk of a fatal caloric overdose. When Luffy eats it, he had just been fatally poisoned by Magellan, suffered through an operation that stripped off five years of his life, and completed said operation in a fraction of a day when it was supposed to take 48 hours... and he was still almost too healthy for the lunchbox!
  Luffy: I mean, I had a good nap afterward?
  Ivankov: Nothing makes seeeense...
• Luffy utterly ignoring Shiki in Level Six, much to the latter's ire and humiliation.
• Luffy asking (on Cross's advice) Crocodile to find and kill Shiliew of the Rain with 'extra pre-jelly' causes a mass facefault on Level 6.
  Crocodile: (Face Palm) It's 'extreme prejudice,' you idiot.
• Whitey Bay kills Madame Hiruno and manages to claim the reincarnated Cold-Cold Fruit... and promptly gets her hands frozen together with her new powers.
• Saldeath's reaction to being strung up over the vat of boiling blood on Level 4? To chastise the pirates that did it for their atrocious penmanship in scribbling on his face.
  Saldeath: The word on my forehead? You spell that with an E, you dunce.
  Buggy: Nothing really fazes you, does it?
  Saldeath: The one thing I dread is growing taller and attracting Sadi's attention.
  • The best part about this is that it's a reference, if not Take That!, to the actual Impel Down cover-story from the manga!
• Sadi-chan has apparently been making use of the "boo-box" recently. Shuddering alongside other residents of the Beast Hell, Galdino vows to kill Soundbite for giving her that idea.
• During Luffy's rematch with the Minotaurus:
  Luffy: So this is what it's like to fight me. Man, I'm annoying.
  Buggy & Galdino: FEEL OUR PAIN, BASTARD!
  Crocodile: (nodding along)
• Luffy manages to make Magellan vomit rainbows. Yes, you read that right.
  Ivankov: Straw Hat Boy is involved, so I do believe that sanity is very much dead at the moment.

Decks of the World: Part 2

• Zoro has a plan to up his training on Kuraigana. It involves Mihawk's wine cellar. In his search for it, he climbs up a ladder.
• Usopp's increasingly ridiculous efforts to get a giant bug companion lead to him learning that the ingredients for Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce exist on the Boin Archipelago. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
• Sanji's training with Juliet, the latest of master of the 99 recipes, involves 'an unholy fusion of what looked like an electric mixer, a glass corkscrew, and one of Chopper's chemistry sets'. This is, as Juliet explains, a rotary evaporator — something that exists in the real world and is normally used in chemical labs, but here has been repurposed for the One Piece equivalent of haute cuisine.
  • The icing on the cake is the fact that Sanji is considerably less than impressed with the idea of using such tools.
    Sanji: 'I'm not sure I like this future of cooking...'
• Robin trolling the Revolutionaries.
• Cross's warning to Franky about the lab's self-destruct button. That he almost forgets.
  • Even funnier when Franky triggers a delayed self-destruct anyway with a hidden smaller button—assuming (correctly) that it's the actual way inside—and has to run around disarming it.
• Boss blasting 3/4 of the TWDS awake after they left Mikey on watch all night long. Then afterwards realizing they had all forgotten about the upcoming war. After sending his students off to investigate while he guards the ship, he tells the TWDS in all seriousness to not let Soundbite learn about this, or else he'll get the idea that everyone in Alabasta is as forgetful as Vivi.

Marineford Misery

• Crossing with Moment of Awesome, but the entrance of the Oars Jr. Pirates. It seems that they took Cross's words about sea turtles seriously, as they arrive at Marineford riding Sea Turtle Sea Kings.
• Despite the seriousness of the first chapter, A Truce While We Gawk is in full effect when Luffy arrives on a Navy Battleship falling out of the sky.
  • The Flat "What" from Ace as he watches the battleship fall from the sky and the Dull Surprise from everyone else who have been keeping up to date with the SBS during Ace's medically induced coma.
  • Jonathan commenting how the Straw Hats can't seem to have a normal way of entering anything.
  • As in canon, the bickering between the Big Damn Heroes while they're falling.
  • Luffy screaming that they're falling, before remembering that it won't hurt him at all since he's made of rubber. The non-rubber-based companions yell that they aren't.
• Other Moments include:
  • Sengoku outright paling when Cross finally lets Doflamingo make a speech over the SBS.
  • Whitey Bay having stuck her own hand to her chin, care of her new Devil Fruit.
    Luffy: Your hand is frozen to your chin, isn't it?
    Whitey: Stuck fast, aye. Give a lass a hand, would ye?
  • Once the fighting starts, Perona keeps questioning if the Warlords are going to join in or just stand there looking threatening.
• Sengoku gives the rather odd order of making sure that Jeremiah Cross doesn't make it across the battlefield alive. Cross, who isn't at Marineford. This is a weird enough idea that everyone just immediately agrees to roll with it. Even Cross himself just rolls with it. Turns out it's actually Bentham (Mr. 2) using his Devil Fruit to assume Cross's appearance to try and pull everyone's attention away from Luffy.
  • On this note, Bentham uses his Cross disguise to draw Kuma's attention away from Luffy, (due to the real Cross's bounty and priority). However, Sengoku eventually catches on and announces the truth. Bentham drops the disguise and dares them on...which unintentionally causes Kuma to refocus on Luffy, hindering the Straw Hat's efforts. Ivankov immediately lambasts this.
  Ivankov: BEN-BOY! VHY DIDN'T YOU KEEP UP THE ACT!?
• When Luffy gets ready to start heading toward Ace he jumps off Whitebeard's ship which has had the ice broken around it. The entire battlefield calls him an idiot and Jinbe jumps into the water to save him.... only to find him walking on water, which causes Jinbe to faceplant into the water in sheer shock. The narrative itself does a Double Take.
  "You do that. I'll be going on ahead," Luffy said before vaulting clear off the side of the Moby Dick.
  "YOU IDIOT!" came the cry from everyone watching, including Garp and Ace. Jinbe rolled his eyes as he vaulted back over the edge, ready to fish Luffy out as he landed on the sea, crouching on the surface to absorb the—
  …wait a second.
• Irian brags about her Chord-Chord Fruit powers, prompting Cross to first laugh about the classic faux-pas, then invoke a certain loud noise to disrupt her rhythm. Cue the foghorn button.
  Cross: Even when things are so grim... I still really love this thing.
  Almost everyone else in the world: WE KNOW!
• Jonathan, nonchalantly fishing in the middle of the whole battle, accidentally snags Karma (the pirate with an octopus on his head), ticking the latter all the more off with a comment of how he's "barely into nine digits". Karma's cursing streak is interrupted by him getting slingshotted fisherman-style back into the fray.
  Jonathan: Have to let them mature to something respectable, you know. Only way to keep the waters healthy.
• Luffy trying to bribe Mihawk with a bottle of booze for him to get out of the way. Plus there's Mihawk's refusal to the offer.
  Mihawk: Tempting as that is, and at the risk of Red-hair throttling me the next time we meet, for multiple reasons, I must decline. (slices bottle into glass shards that Luffy has to drop with a yelp) Vehemently.
• Whilst accompanying Luffy, Buggy is reminded that, while very few people know he's a former Roger Pirate, Garp is one of those people, he hastily begs Cross for a foghorn which causes hundreds of people (including Sengoku) to stop what they're doing and prepare for it. Only for Cross to refuse because Buggy tried to kill Luffy in the past twice.
• The reactions from everyone on the executioner's stand after Perona tells off Sengoku.
  Sengoku: Nothing to add?
  Garp: I'm lucky I've gotten away with this much, I'm not pushing my skull's durability any farther.
  Isuka: I'm just waiting for my cue so I can get this over with.
  Ace: I'm still stuck on 'my dumbass little brother dropped in on a ship from the sky.'
• Crossing with Moment of Awesome, Buggy's vicious rant about how insanity-inducing his time with the Roger Pirates was, all while Luffy is trying to discreetly run toward Ace only to be blocked offhandedly by an equally-interested Mihawk.
• Isuka and Ace bickering Like an Old Married Couple the entire duration of the former helping the latter escape. Partially because Isuka was a teensy bit too convincing in her act about wanting to personally kill Ace for the Fire Fist's comfort.
• In chapter 81, Mihawk manages to slice off the very tip of Buggy's nose, causing it to bleed. What would normally be terrifying instead becomes hilarious both for Mihawk's reaction and the way it manages to basically pound Buggy's Berserk Button so hard it gets stuck:
  Mihawk: That ridiculous thing is real? I always thought it was rubber.
• Angmar, leader of the Vikverir, gets into an argument with his doctor about his returning to the fray. When she refuses to okay him, he suplexes her into the ground and heads off.
• An exceedingly, horrendously, chillingly dark example of bitter irony. When Cross foiled the scheme to turn one of the Whitebeard allies, Sengoku wished for the pirate to end up in the deepest, darkest pit of hell. Well, Sengoku, you got your wish given just where Kuma sent Cross to. Not that it does anything to stop Cross.
• Why isn't Sengoku joining the fray? He's having yet another heart attack.
• In the middle of saving Luffy and Ace, Sabo still has the time to berate them for their stupidity, and also to chide Ace for never wearing a shirt, promising to sew one onto him.
• Dragon is having a wonderful day: crushing Akainu's hand, watching Luffy and Ace reunite with Sabo, seeing Garp knocked down and actually thinking about his actions, and now he has his hands on two CP-0 that were dispatched to assassinate Hancock. The only way his day would get better if all five Elder Stars dropped dead at his feet. A Beat...
  Dragon: {sighs wistfully} Oh well, worth a shot.
• When Sabo asks if anyone has a twenty on the Boa sisters, an oblivious Luffy notes that he's pretty sure they're all in their twenties. Ace, Sabo, and Koala are all left resisting the urge to punch him in the face.
• In the midst of stealing and hotwiring the Pacifista's laser cannons for the battle, Bege complains about the government using cheaper parts instead of paying full price for better quality ones that could withstand unexpected power surges, and the wastage it generates. Kid has to tell him to get back to work shooting the government instead of complaining about them. Bege then complains about no one respecting him.
• Bonney finally ends Sentomaru's threat by de-aging him (and at the same time aging up Yoko and de-aging Boss Kabuto).
• And through it all, Urouge is enjoying himself. In Large Ham-style.
  • Later he saves Bartolomeo, who's suffering a slight concussion.
    Barto: I think I’m concussed, I just saw a frog go boom…
    Urouge: You are concussed, but you did indeed see a faux-amphibian detonate, my friend. Truly, a day filled with miracles! And we have not even seen the Promised Land yet! Such a wonderful world we live in!
    Barto: Yoooou talk fuuuunny…
    Urouge: And you could use a bath, so I’d say that makes us even!
• Everyone's reaction to Cyborg-Shilliew? Horror and fear. Except two people: Crocodile complains that Luffy breaking his hook has cursed him, leaving him unable to kill anyone properly and he resolves to break this curse by killing Luffy. Luffy blames Crocodile for Shilliew surviving because he left him to bleed out instead of making sure he was dead when they left, and decides that he's going to kill Crocodile for messing up the plan by doing so.
• Sabo and Ace save Sandersonia and Marigold from an attack by Aegis-0 assassins. The two serpent Zoans start swooning over their handsome and charming rescuers... before Bartolomeo blunders in and spoils the mood, causing them to both give him a Death Glare.
  • Just the idea that in addition to Boa Hancock going after Luffy, her sisters are going after Luffy's brothers.
• Dragon continues to show his unique sense of humor by giving Hancock his blessing before vacating Marineford. Hancock's response is to smile and blush like a schoolgirl.
• Kid almost mouths off to an irritated Hancock while the pirates are preparing to retreat. Killer stops him by hitting him in the throat and telling him not to get them killed with his "big fucking mouth".
  • When X Drake reveals that he is, or more accurately was, a double agent, Kid threatens to turn his scaly hide into a codpiece.
• Shanks' arrival is a relief to all... except for Mihawk, due to him A) attacking Luffy, and B) spilling good booze to do so. The world's greatest swordsman grumbles in exasperation about the typicality of him showing up exactly when Mihawk's trying to avoid him.
• When Cross attempts to rally the cannibal she-prisoner of Serpent to join him in working to break out, he asks her if she wants to eat people for the rest of her life. She immediately says yes. Then corrects herself to say that she wants to do it under the bright blue sky. Cross resigns himself to accepting that answer as "good enough for now".

Denouement

• T-Bone abducts Momonga for a talk now that his belief in the World Government has been broken, and starts to fill him in on the Masons.
  T-Bone: It begins with Jeremiah Cross.
  Momonga: And just like that, I have a migraine.
  T-Bone: I'd be surprised if you didn't.
• When Benedia bites Cross, Soundbite comments that Cross should be thanking him for giving him a high pain tolerance for that kind of thing. Cross isn't amused.
• As Buggy's crew is cheering his return, one of them tries to shout out a positive comment about his nose. Several others promptly tackle him before he can accidentally hit Buggy's Berserk Button.
• After Aegis 0 forces him to hand over Bullet so that the latter can become a Warlord, Magellan tosses himself headfirst down the elevator shaft to Level Six, figuring that the concussion he gets from the fall will alleviate the migraine the exchange gave him.
• When Mihawk returns to his island, he discovers that Zoro drank all his alcohol, let the humandrills into the castle, and moved everything two inches to the left.
• Usopp channeling the Weird Sisters as he brews condiments, finally having tamed an entire swarm of insects.
• Chopper gives a News Coo his treatise on Zoan biology to deliver to Kureha... and a postcard for Dalton, apologizing for the fact that he's about to become Kureha's test subject regarding Chopper's research, and warning him not to run as that will only make things worse for him.
  News Coo: (stares at Chopper in Stunned Silence for a moment after reading the card)
  Chopper: You don't want to ask.
  News Coo: You're a Straw Hat, that was a given.
• As Franky is preparing to show off the completed climate control device, he flips the switch to activate it... only for a self-destruct countdown to start. After hastily disarming it, he notes this is the third self-destruct switch he has stumbled upon and questions why Vegapunk would install so many.
• As Brook is negotiating a contract with Sancrin, he mentions that 45% of the profits will go to Sancrin, 5% to himself, and the remaining 50% to Nami. Sancrin starts to protest, insulting Nami as he does, and then quickly signs when he hears a very large thunderclap outside.
• Su eats the Children of Inari's Devil Fruit and immediately reacts with disgust over how it tastes. Then, once the Fruit takes to take effect, she does a lengthy Skyward Scream (which lasts a full ten minutes) until she finally stops, jumps in the air to apparently transform... and lands just as small as before, the only difference being an extra tail. Even Conis laughs herself sick at this outcome.
• During Whitebeard's funeral, Ace starts his eulogy saying that he received advice from an oracle, only to correct himself and say that it was Cross following several eyerolls from his crewmates.
• Ace and Sabo, and then eventually Luffy, running in terror from the three lovestruck Boa Sisters, with the former two swearing vengeance on their idiot brother. Their fantasies concerning said vengeance are also worth a couple chuckles:
  Sabo: I'm going to kill him. I'm going to crush him, grind him into dust, then feed the dust to the wolves. Then blow up the wolves.
  Ace: I'm going to burn him to ashes, turn the ashes into ink, paint him burning alive, and then burn the painting.
  • Eventually, they decide on a punishment for Luffy. If they have to go through being chased by lovesick Amazons, then so does he. And so Boa Hancock joins the chase as the three ASL brothers run from their predators—er, pursuers.
• Jewelry Bonney gloating to the other Supernovas that she's the only one that's allowed to set foot on Amazon Lily, and directly partake in the food and festivities. When Bartolomeo protests, Hancock points out that the fact she allowed them to see the island is enough of thanks from her.
• As a Call-Back to whatever he did on Kyouka Island, Urouge had to be restrained to his ship's mast to prevent him from setting foot on Amazon Lily.
  • Hawkins shares Urouge's regret that he cannot enjoy Amazon Lily. When he mentions how much tail his mystic personality and "nimble fingers" gets, Bartolomeo starts howling to be let on the island too to not lose to the voodoo-man.
• Koby and Helmeppo persuade Garp into joining them since it will likely give Sengoku "another twenty heart attacks."
  • Garp tries to tell them that since he's retired now, instead of calling him "sir" they can call him "Mr. Monkey"... and then grimaces along with them as he realizes that's terrible.
• In the newspaper for the epilogue, one of the new recruits for the Black side of the Black and White war is "That two-timing asshole who still owes me 1,000" Gato Garome with a threat to pay up or the writer will "start getting creative".
