Emotion.
Friendship.
Experience for a lifetime…
But before all of this, One Piece is a comedy!
So, let’s scratch the surface of this 24-carat gold comedy adventure shōnen with a countdown of memes!
21.Sanji bounty poster memes
Atleast in Wano, it was so easy for Sanji to get an actually good picture for his bounty poster, but seems like fate has other plans for him.
Pray the day that Sanji gets a good picture on his bounty poster will be the day Zoro doesn’t get lost.
20. Luffy’s question meme
Luffy’s eternal question to all mermaids made a meme sensation as he asked it to Caimie and later even to Madam Shyarly.
Luffy’s curiosity really knows no bounds sometimes…
19. Nami beating up the Monster Trio memes
The monster trio are the three most powerful members of the crew.
Wrong.
Nami is the strongest member of the crew. Nami beating up the monster trio has been a long-standing running gag since the beginning of the series.
Whether its Luffy who spent too much money, Zoro and Sanji arguing again or them caring more about adventure than their lives, Nami will always be the one to bring them back in line.
18. Sanji and Duval memes
The introduction of Duval sparked a fanbase-wide frenzy about it!
How the Marines often mistook our handsome prince as some random mafia goon and chased him around until he had to wear an iron mask.
What really comes to shine is how Sanji solved this problem.
Sanji gave Duval a taste of his feet added with some… spice.
17. Luffy watching One Piece in One Piece memes
Luffy watching Zoro and Sanji save Otoko via the transponder snail caused a new wave of memes in this sea.
Characters in One Piece, watching One Piece in One Piece…that’s quite the matrix there.
16. Don’t light Sanji’s cigarette memes
The first person to light Sanji’s cigarette in the Alabasta arc was none other than Luffy’s elder brother Ace.
The second person to follow his suit o the Whole Cake Island was Pedro.
Due to the tragic death of both of these characters, Sanji’s cigarette has become a symbolic ill omen.
Incidentally, one of the brands of Sanji’s cigarettes is called “Death”.
15. Sanji nosebleeding memes
Sanji’s famous nosebleed that send him rocketing to places from the Sunny to the ocean to the hospital on Fishman Island.
Sanji almost died because of this joke that the fans said went overboard.
It was however made Sanji the One Piece memestar all over again.
14. Brook’s skull jokes and death memes
Brook’s skull jokes are an integral part of his character just like his request for underwear.
A lot of memes were made about Brook’s jokes that also incorporate his signature laugh.
Brook made his presence known as a humorous living skeleton with an afro.
13. Smoker smoking memes
Smoker carries his name well, his devil fruit powers, his white hair and constantly smoking not one but 2 cigars.
This became a meme sensation on Punk Hazard when Smoker’s unit had to all wear gas masks, but Smoker still smoked the 2 cigars through the gas mask.
12. Luffy-Law Alliance memes
Law was introduced as cool, emotionally cold, pragmatic and a strategic character.
Then Luffy happened and Law had no choice but to dive deep into the Luffy-ness of One Piece.
Law was able to maintain the calm and composed look while being entertained by Luffy’s antics, but the story changed just a little when he formed an alliance with him.
11. ‘Sometimes you just need One Piece’ memes
One Piece’s name is so versatile! How can anyone with a good sense of humor stop themselves from making puns about it?!
A man made out of a jigsaw with exactly one piece missing.
This template has made quite the mark in the meme community on websites like Reddit.
10. Law with Chopper memes
Chopper + Law = A duo that you can resist. Law referring to Chopper as Tanuki-ya or Chopper being tied to Law’s head as a means of transportation, this doctor duo may or may not be functional, but they definitely are a springing fountain of humour.
9. Luffy and Thriller Bark Zombie meme
Zombie comes out of the grave. Luffy pushes him back in.
This pure gold of a moment as adapted has so many memes ranging from just screenshots to a combination with the Pixar lamp.
This moment is enough to crack anyone up especially after Luffy’s comment about it actually being a gravely injured old man.
8. One Piece is too long memes
This comment has angered One Piece fans off for so long that at this point of time, they have given up.
One Piece fans know exactly how indescribable One Piece is, and they know exactly the way to deal with this stupid and belittling comment.
Memes of course!
7. One Piece Reaction Face memes
One Piece has no shortage of absolutely fabulous shots of character faces.
Whether it’s Usopp and Caimie’s bonding moment, Enel’s reaction to his lightning not working or Oden’s reaction to taking Toki back to Wano, One Piece is a treasure trove of beautiful faces and the memers know exactly how to put this to good use.
6. Luffy Imitation memes
Luffy’s hobby of imitating his friends leads to some pretty funny moments in the series.
Whether it’s Chopper with the help of Robin’s powers, Usopp by pulling his nose, Sanji with the disastrous smoke or the Zoro with the mispronounced ‘Oni-girya’, Luffy has got a talent for imitations.
5. Luffy’s Baka song memes
Skypiea was a star-studded arc that gave us so many giggles.
The highlight however without a doubt will go to Luffy’s singing talent and his stunning lyrics.
Luffy’s ‘Aho Baka’ song has always given people something to smile about in the darkest of times.
4. Buggy. D. Clown memes
The escape from Impel down and Marineford War saw the rise of Buggy due to the hilarious misunderstandings of pirates who chose to be his subordinates and the sudden reveal of Buggy being an apprentice from Roger’s ship.
This gained Buggy the status of Shichibukai, until the system was abolished and a gigantic following of some fairly strong subordinates.
3. Con. D. Oriano memes
The one thing that One Piece does well, that other shows usually struggle to do is fillers.
G8 is a smack in the face of anyone who just skips or insults filler episodes and arcs.
G8 is one of the few arcs that gives us any sensible Marines, who are usually portrayed either as just plain cruel or apathetic or just weak in the series.
Condoriano is one example where Usopp’s brain functioning as a liar. Condoriano is definitely a gem of One Piece.
2. Go. D. Usopp memes
Usopp finally shouldered his responsibility as the heroes of the Tontattas. He freed all the slaves by making sugar faint, and they all hailed him as their God.
Due to this achievement Usopp was claimed as a 5-star target getting a bounty of 500 million Belis personally from Doflamingo and a 200 million as his official bounty.
This name of his is now used in many templates as one of the strongest characters of One Piece in almost all memes.
1. Zoro lost memes
So, in the end, we have the winner. Anywhere else is understandable but the fact that Zoro was able to get lost on Sabaody where each mangrove is numbered, that was a new record.
This is one of the gags that has remained unchanged pre and post time skip.
Zoro getting lost is a perfect way to give his serious and badass character a stupid quirk to make him more…human.
