Story Arc: Wholecake Island

Once introduced to the story, Brook quickly became a fan favorite due to his cheerful personality.

This has never been truer than in Wholecake Island.

Young lady… what kind of fool would ever plan to die?!

In this arc, Brook was tasked with collecting the Big Mom's Road Poneglyph Etches from her treasure chest while everyone else was distracted. Although he had some help from Pedro, Brook was largely on his own when it came to picking up trash, which everyone thought he failed to do. However, much to everyone's surprise, Brook actually succeeded and kept the poneglyph abrasions in his skull!

Nami asks Luffy to help her

Story arc: Arlong Park

As the second member of the Straw Hat crew, Nami has a special relationship with Luffy. Despite her help against Buggy during the Orange Town arc, the first part of Nami's story revolved around her betraying the rest of her crew due to the debts she owed to the Arlong Pirates, who had acquired her as their official navigator. In the end, however, it was revealed that Arlong never really intended to let her or her village go free.

Confused and devastated, Nami began to collapse and cut the part of her arm where the tattoo was that showed her as part of the Arlong Pirates. Eventually, Luffy stops her and makes Name turn to the only person she can at the time for help, leading to one of the most iconic scenes of the entire series.

Franky Burns The Plans of Pluto

Story arc: Enies Lobby-Water 7

Franky was introduced as a villain in the Water 7 arc where he initially gained a lot of wealth from the Straw Hats.

After finding the blueprints that the ancient boatmen of Water 7 had used to build the ship, they were horrified to find them in the possession of Franky, who burned them, single-handedly stopping the World Government's ambitions for such a powerful weapon!

Stop counting only the things you've lost! What's gone is gone. Ask yourself: What else do you have left?

There are quite a few moments that make Jinbei a wonderful character, but perhaps the biggest is the speech he gives to Luffy after the events at Marineford. When Luffy is at the lowest point he's been at, Jinbei reminds him to focus on the things he still has rather than the things he's lost. It's safe to say that without Jinbei, Luffy wouldn't have come back from such a dark place!

Robin unlocks demonic power

Story arc: Wano

Robin's famous “I want to live” moment during the Enies Lobby arc still remains the character's most iconic moment, showing how her mindset and mindset has changed over the years. However, her brand new Demonio Fleurs ability that she showed off in the Wano arc stands out as her best, especially since it marks one of the few times that Robin really shines with her offensive abilities.

I already figured out how this virus works!

Usopp more than lived up to his nickname 'God'!

Sanji Thanks Enel

Story arc: Skypiea

Many fans believe that Sanji is the best-written Straw Hat Pirate of all, and it's hard to argue with that. This is because the Wholecake Island arc showed his story and explained why he is the way he is. This backstory is one of the saddest in the entire series, but it also puts Sanji's entire journey into perspective, and while it has many incredible moments, such as his fight with the Queen and when he explains how there are things that Usopp can do, and he can 't , his iconic Skypiea arch pose takes the cake.

As such, his loyalty to Luffy was tested towards the end of the Thriller Bark arc when Kuma arrived.

After fighting relentlessly for ages, Luffy undergoes a ton of pain that almost kills him.

Luffy wakes up Nika

Story arc: Wano

As the series continued, fans slowly pieced together clues that suggested Luffy was special. In the Wano arc, Luffy first fought against one of the Sea Emperors, but was defeated 4 times due to Kaido's far superior strength, something fans likened to the armor plot.
