The funniest moments in One Piece ranked
One Piece is packed with humor, from witty remarks to slapstick comedy, ensuring there's no shortage of gags. Today, we'll be counting down the most hilarious moments in the One Piece series.
We’ll only be including gut-busting moments from completed arcs, that’s not to say the ongoing Egghead Island is abscent of giggles, but the tone is definitely different.
10. Luffy fighting with Gear 5
Crunchyroll
Enchiiro Oda really asked, "Are you ready for some classic cartoon fun?" when Gear 5 made its appearance, didn't he? Luffy brings out the Looney Tunes cartoon logic when he battles in Gear 5, executing all sorts of comical techniques like using a powerful dragon as a jump rope and pulling up the ground to use it as a wall.
9. The Wano faces
When Gear 5 is activated, Luffy undergoes a complete transformation not only in his fighting style but also in his overall attitude towards the enemy. He takes the fight seriously and embraces the challenge with full appreciation. With Gear 5, Luffy can replicate any Tom and Jerry skit imaginable, all while his eyes bulge out of his face.
Even Nico Robin is making a face like that, you know things are really going downhill. The exaggerated expressions and funny faces are a recurring comedic element in One Piece, often used to react to absurd situations or Luffy's outrageous comments.
8. Luffy’s impressions of the crew
Robin, typically the symbol of composure within the Straw Hat crew, is unable to control her emotions when Luffy is defeated and captured by Kaido. Her expression of shock and sadness serves as a poignant reminder of the seriousness of the situation.
While imitation is indeed a form of flattery, Luffy takes it to a whole new level with his spot-on impressions of his own crew. Thanks to his rubbery abilities, Luffy certainly has an advantage, but his uncanny impersonations never fail to bring on a hearty round of laughter.
7. Sanji dealing with his doppleganger
Throughout the series, Luffy exhibits this behavior, but the most entertaining instances occur during the Arabasta arc. When Crocodile imprisons the crew in his headquarters, Luffy entertains himself by imitating Sanji. Later, with the assistance of Robin, he pulls off a remarkable impersonation of Chopper once the chaos has subsided.
Approaching Saboady Archipelago, the crew finds themselves confronted by a gang of criminals turned pirates who are targeting Sanji for reasons unknown. Adding to the chaos, the crew's new bounties from their time in Water 7 have been revealed, with Sanji particularly dismayed by the unflattering portrait used in place of a photograph. It seems that a shady individual bearing a striking resemblance to Sanji ended up at sea in a bid to evade the Navy.
6. Law “becoming” a Straw Hat
Does Sanji feel sorry for him? Does he understand that this man's face represents the suffering caused by the Marines' error? Absolutely not. Instead, he kicks him in the face, repeatedly deforming his facial structure to make him look drastically different and handsome. Get it? Boot?
The realm of piracy is often depicted as a romantic and adventurous world, but some individuals approach it with a far more serious demeanor than our Straw Hats. One such person is the fellow Worst Generation member Trafalgar Law, whose poignant backstory evokes a sense of sorrow, yet upon encountering Luffy and his crew in the New World, he harbors grand ambitions for the Straw Hats.
5. Enel’s face when he faces Luffy
After forming an alliance, Law does his best to keep Luffy focused, but he can't help being drawn into the amusing shenanigans of the Straw Hats and starts to mimic their behavior. When Eustass Kidd joins the action in Wano, things escalate further as the three captains test their mettle against Kaido and Big Mom. It seems that Luffy's lighthearted approach may be rubbing off on others.
The majority of the content in the manga is seamlessly adapted into the anime, and Enel’s over-the-top response to discovering that Luffy is immune to his lightning abilities is translated perfectly from the page to the screen. Luffy’s bewildered expression is impossible to miss, while Enel’s resorting to a stereotypical comedic face in the midst of a tense moment is simply priceless.
4. Usopp becomes the mighty Sniper King
Enel’s genuine shock goes beyond just the humor. His dependence on lightning powers and lack of reliance on other abilities makes the sight of Luffy, with his 100% resistance to electric-type attacks, disrupting his plans and kingdom, completely understandable.
After Usopp departs from the crew and expresses his disinterest in joining their mission to rescue Robin, it becomes evident that he cannot simply leave her behind. Instead, he adopts the persona of Sniper King, a distinct alter ego who comes to the aid of the Straw Hats in Enies Lobby. From that point forward, he insists on being referred to exclusively as Sniper King and even performs his own theme song.
3. The Straw Hat crew meets Crocus
What makes this prank so enjoyable is that the entire community participates in it through online posts. Luffy and Chopper are the only ones who genuinely believe the disguise, leading to discussions such as, "Who is Sniper King really?" and responses like, "He's the king of sniper island!" It requires skill to create a joke that resonates on multiple levels, so both the One Piece team and the community should take pride in their accomplishment.
Imagine the crew reaching the Grand Line with excitement, only to encounter a giant whale blocking their path, leading to their separation from the captain. Unexpectedly, a grouchy lighthouse keeper living inside starts cracking jokes. The fourth-wall-breaking stare gag may be more enjoyable for anime watchers, as it relies heavily on visual elements like cuts and sound effects. Crocus's introduction is truly funny and underrated, making it a treasure in the early series, alongside Luffy's iconic straw hat.
2. Franky. Just Franky.
From his introduction as a mysterious antagonist, Franky's true personality shines through in Water 7. Whether it's Chopper using him as a test subject in Enis Lobby or blasting a mountain with a smile, Franky never fails to bring humor to the table.
His good-natured, masculine presence adds a comedic touch to every situation, even when it's all in jest. His battle with Senior Pink is a perfect example of how Franky thrives in absurd scenarios, balancing laughs and action in classic One Piece style.
1. Buggy’s accidental rise to fame
Buggy, our beloved pirate clown, experienced an unexpected surge in popularity during the chaos of Impel Down and Marineford. Somehow, he manages to attract allies and inspire his subordinates, despite his comically inept behavior. His remarkable ability to fail upwards leads to him achieving a prestigious title.
It is an understatement to say that Buggy is in over his head; anyone of significance recognizes this. However, the Marines cannot deny his influence and ultimately elevate him to the esteemed rank of one of the Seven Warlords. With the disruption of this system and the defeat of Big Mom and Kaido, could Buggy actually rise to become one of the Four Emperors?!
Oda and fans alike adore Buggy’s journey to fame, and as we head into the "Final Saga" of One Piece, it is exciting to imagine how it will all unfold.
