Although many characters in One Piece have iconic laughs, only one has the best of the entire series.
In fact, many of the most dangerous parts of the New World are the pirates who live there. All in all, the Emperors who live in the other half of the Great Line are the biggest threat there. Every member of the worst generation that was defeated on the island was taken down by a different pirate group. While it would be a bit unusual to see the group taken out by a powerful storm or a giant sea monster, it would definitely make the New World seem more dangerous. The sheer power of the Imperators makes any other threat to the New World seem insignificant.
