The 5 Saddest Moments in One Piece
One Piece Podcast

One Piece is an anime that follows Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. While the show is filled with many moments that are either action-packed, funny, or extremely inspiring. However, there's also other moments that hit you right in the feels, and has you bawling like a baby. Grab a box of tissues, as I show you the top 5 moments.


5. Laboon's Backstory

Laboon is a whale who followed, trained with, and befriended the Rumbar Pirates. He was nothing less than a part of the crew. However, they were reluctant to take him to the dangerous Grand Line, so they left him at Twin Cape in the care of Crocus, with promises that they'd come back to him. Unfortunately, 50 years had passed and they never returned. During that time, Laboon was bashing his head against Reverse Mountain, in an attempt to break it and find the Rumbar Pirates. I literally want to cry, just thinking about this scene.

4. Luffy's Speech to Sanji


After being forced into an arranged marriage, with the threat of Zeff being killed if he resists, Sanji tries to leave the crew. But Luffy wasn't willing to let him do so, which led to a heartbreaking duel between the two of them. What's even more heartbreaking is the speech that Luffy gives when Sanji's carriage is being drawn away.

3. When Nami Stabbed Herself

When Nami was ten years old, her island was taken over by Fishmen pirates led by Arlong. He forced everyone to pay a fee in order to stay alive; a fee that Nami’s family was unable to afford. This led to Arlong killing Nami’s mother right in front of her (Nami and her sister were only able to stay alive due to the other villager’s paying for them). During the whole ordeal, Arlong found a map that Nami had drawn, and quickly recognized her talent in cartography. He enlists her to join his crew, and promised her that if she can give him 100,000,000 beris, he’ll end his reign over Cocoyashi and leave.

After 8 years, Nami almost has enough beris to buy back Cocoyashi. Unfortunately, however, Arlong has corrupt marines confiscate all of Nami’s beris; and tells her to start over or else he’ll kill all the villagers. This leads to this devastating moment, that had me tearing up, despite disliking Nami.

2. Chopper's Backstory

Chopper's backstory had me bawling. He's a reindeer who ate the Human Human Fruit, which essentially made him a reindeer-human hybrid. He has the ability to understand and communicate with humans, as well as easily adapting their mannerisms (like walking on two legs). But why is this so bad?

After being kicked out by his fellow reindeer, he tried to make friends with the villagers on Drum Island. Unfortunately, they were terrified him and immediately started to attacking him, making him an outcast from both humans and reindeer alike. My sweet boy deserved better than this!

1. Ace's Death


After Luffy rescued Ace from being executed by the government, they had to fight off loads of marines. This was fairly easy for them; that is until the deadly Magma Magma Fruit user, Admiral Akainu got involved.

Akainu is a firm believer that someone's bloodline determines how good of a person they are, which made him adamant on killing Luffy and Ace, as they are the respective sons of the Revolutionary Army Leader, Monkey D. Dragon and the former Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. Akainu actually almost succeeded in killing Luffy, until Ace jumped in front of him, leading to the most devastating moment in the series.


There's plenty of other sad moments in One Piece, but I'll save us the heartbreak from going through more clips. I think I can speak for us all when I say that only thing that can make us more sad is when the series ultimately ends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
