15 Times 'One Piece' Dropped A Plot Twist That Broke The Internet

During the first few hundred episodes of One Piece, the series makes it clear that having two Devil Fruits at once is impossible; anyone who tries perishes. Blackbeard proves this idea wrong by ending Whitebeard's life and taking his Quake-Quake Fruit.One PieceThe series makes it clear that having two Devil Fruits at once is impossible, and anyone who tries dies. Blackbeard proves this wrong by ending Whitebeard's life and taking his Quake-Quake Fruit.

This possibility is a plot twist. Doing it makes Blackbeard a much scarier enemy than anyone thought when he first appeared.

When we meet the CP9 members, we first see them as boat repair workers for the Galley-La company. They seem serious about their work with the Going Merry.

Hints suggest the CP9 might be planning something. Finding out they are an assassination squad sent by the Marines to take down Robin was an intense twist.

Orochi is not the only one in Wano with an ally working against him; the Red Scabbards share this. Kanjuro acted as Oden's retainer but was actually an undercover spy for the Kurozumi Family.

Learning Kanjuro sided with Orochi hurt the rest of the Scabbards. This led to a fight between Kanjuro and Kin'emon, which killed Kanjuro.

When we meet Ace, we learn he is Luffy's older brother. People assumed this meant they shared the same parents, but we did not know much about Luffy's parents then. They are brothers because they grew up together and chose to see each other that way.

Portgas D. Rouge and Gol D. Roger are Ace's parents. Having the King of the Pirates as a dad made him a target from birth. His mother hid his parentage by keeping her pregnancy going for two years instead of nine months. Ace's dad's identity is a big shock; his mom's extreme physical feat is equally surprising.

Luffy's power-ups have been impressive, following a similar path: he coats himself in Haki, boosts strength, or changes body parts. Gear 5 took things in a new direction.

Gear 5 does more than just boost Luffy's strength. Gear 5 lets Luffy ignore physics. He can do what he wants with his body, but he also affects his surroundings and others. Essentially, he acts like a Looney Tunes cartoon character.

Luffy's Devil Fruit was not as simple as it seemed. It is the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, a mythical Zoan fruit.mythical Zoan fruitThis ability lets the user turn into an ancient Sun God.

Sabo ran away and shipwrecked. Most thought he died. Dragon rescued him and brought him into the Revolutionary Army. Sabo lost his memories, so he did not try to contact his brothers for almost ten years. Then, he learned Ace died, and his memories came back.

Luffy and Sabo meet in an emotional scene. They compete at Corrida Colosseum for Ace's Devil Fruit. Luffy thought he lost both brothers, but learning he only lost one felt bittersweet.

Luffy values his straw hat above everything else. His crew's well-being matters, but the hat is what he values most. Shanks, his hero, gave it to him as a child. He promised Shanks he would return the hat when he became the King of the Pirates.

The hat has deeper meaning. Shanks did not just grab it from a store. Gol D. Roger, the original King of the Pirates, gave it to him. Luffy handing the hat over now carries much more weight.

Just before crossing the Grand Line,the Straw Hatsmeet Laboon, an extremely distressed whale. Laboon waited for a pirate crew that promised to reunite with him decades ago but never returned. Luffy calms him down somewhat, yet the situation is upsetting.

Later, they meet Brook, a living skeleton who joins their crew. Brook was part of the pirate crew that left Laboon. Brook wanted to return for his whale friend, but the crew faced many bad things, and none survived, not even Brook, who was brought back by a Devil Fruit after dying.

While the people of Zou fought to protect Raizo, viewers thought all their suffering, including torture, was pointless because Raizo was gone. The characters do not expect to find Raizo.

When Nekomamushi and Inuarashi tell the Straw Hats and allies Raizo is safe, everyone's expectations change. The moment hits hard because it brings relief.

Kyoshiro is a yakuza boss who acts as Orochi's bodyguard, or so he appears.

In reality, he is Denjiro, one of Oden's former retainers. He took the Kyoshiro identity to position himself to reunite with the Red Scabbards and defeat both Orochi and Kaido. This shows serious dedication to his former master.

When the Ancient Weapons appear, they seem like real weapons—inanimate objects. Poseidon turns out to be an ability that shows up in living beings. It currently lives in Shirahoshi, the princess of the Ryugyu Kingdom.

Shirahoshi once had little control over her powers; she summoned Sea Kings without intending to. Now, she summons and controls them whenever she wants.

Sanji's first introduction gives a solid story: Zeff rescued him and trained him as a cook. We did not know why he was at sea as a child, but that is the extent of the information.One PieceBackstories go, so the story feels complete.

Sanji's backstory holds much more than imagined. He is a Vinsmoke, meaning he is part of a royal family. A terrible genetic experiment made him, and he suffered abuse before escaping his family. Now, his family wants him back to marry him for a political alliance.

Information about Luffy's family comes in pieces, so it always shocks us no matter what we learn.

Learning Luffy's grandfather is Monkey D. Garp, a high-ranking Marine, changes how Luffy relates to the authorities. Even more surprising is his father's identity: Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army.

During our first meeting with Vivi, she seems to work for Baroque Works, Crocodile's subordinates. Miss Wednesday is just a fake name; her true loyalty is elsewhere. She is actually theVivi is the princess of Alabasta.and she seeks a way to free her nation from Crocodile's control.

She hid her royal heritage well!

Sanji faces a harsh situation: he must rejoin his abusive family, leave the Straw Hats, and marry a stranger for political reasons. The situation worsens when he learns Pudding never loved him; she used him to execute the Vinsmoke family as her family commanded.

Pudding's betrayal was a big surprise. Seeing her actually love Sanji and regret her actions shocked us just as much.
