00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for some of the best
00:15lesser known or underrated scenes in One Piece.
00:30Fights between friends always hit hard in One Piece, but this one is often forgotten
00:34about.
00:35Vivi intends to try to convince the rebel army in Alabaster to stand down.
00:40However, Luffy, in a rare bit of insight, finds her plan to be naive.
00:44Luffy will die regardless, and since Crocodile is manipulating the rebels, it'd be simpler
00:50to just fight him.
00:57The duo exchange blows, with Luffy taking the worst of it.
01:01Vivi believes that by confronting the rebels alone, only her life would be at risk.
01:07Luffy asks her to instead risk all of their lives, since they're friends, and that's
01:12what friends do.
01:19It's a fantastic character moment for both of them, revealing Luffy's inner death and
01:24helping Vivi grow.
01:329.
01:33Nami defends Luffy from an army When it comes to who's the strongest or bravest
01:38Straw Hat crew member, Nami isn't usually the first to come to mind.
01:43It's when Luffy stands alone against an army of the Big Mom pirates, Nami returns to back
01:48him up.
01:50Her large-scale lightning attacks are devastating on the battlefield.
02:02Additionally, she's able to control and disable Big Mom's homey minions with her Vivi card.
02:09She and Luffy may ultimately be defeated and captured due to sheer numbers and exhaustion,
02:16but Nami proves here that she's more powerful than many give her credit for, including herself.
02:228.
02:23Usopp cheers Luffy on During Luffy's fight with Luchi, the future
02:35Pirate King is beaten and bloodied, collapsing to the ground.
02:39Usopp sees this from above and, removing his Sogeking disguise, reveals himself to Luffy.
02:45He urges Luffy to get back up and fight.
02:58When that fails, he instead taunts Luchi, trying to provoke him into a fight.
03:03Although Usopp knows he can't win, he knows Luffy can.
03:12As bad as the situation is, they're not in hell.
03:15For as much credit as Luffy gets for standing back up and punching the stuffing out of Luchi,
03:21Usopp deserves just as much for giving him the motivation to do it.
03:317.
03:32Sanji clashes with Doflamingo Luffy is usually the one to go up against
03:38the big bad, so any time a different member of the crew gets the chance, it's something
03:43special.
03:44With Doflamingo bearing down on the Thousand Sunny, Sanji arrives in the nick of time to
03:49stop him with a fiery kick.
03:51The two combatants exchange blows mid-air, with Sanji receiving some nasty slashes.
04:05While the straw hat cook has an excellent showcase of his strength, with even Duffy admitting
04:09he's strong, the warlord eventually immobilizes him.
04:17This little bout may not last long, and Sanji gets saved himself, but it's cool enough that
04:22we hope he crosses paths with Doflamingo again for a rematch.
04:346.
04:35Bonklai's First Sacrifice He may dress like a ballerina, but Mr. 2 Bonklai
04:40is as tough as nails and a true friend.
04:43While everybody remembers his sacrifice to help Luffy get to Ace, fewer people talk about
04:48the first time he did it.
04:57Despite having only met them once and fighting against them, Bonklai and his boys decide to
05:02help the straw hats.
05:04They dress up like Luffy and company, helping buy them the time they need to escape the marines.
05:13The flower of friendship blooms in unexpected places, and Bonklai's is truly breathtaking.
05:225.
05:23Luffy Defends A Dog's Treasure Given that this happened so early on in One
05:40Long Piece, it's easy to see why so many overlook it.
05:44In Orangetown, Luffy meets Shushu, a dog that has been waiting for his late owner at a shop
05:50for years.
05:51Moji, Buggy's right-hand man, and his pet lion Richie, rough up Shushu, raid the store
06:00for food, and then burn it to the ground.
06:03Luffy, furious at this, beats down both lion and pirate alike, saving the last bit of dog
06:09food from the store.
06:20He may not be smart, but Luffy's empathy for people and animals alike never fails to tug
06:26on our heartstrings.
06:334.
06:34Noland Kills A Giant Snake Although he's a flashback character, Montblanc
06:38Noland looms large in the lore of One Piece.
06:41While he's remembered as a liar, Noland was a great explorer and quite the fighter.
06:46When he arrives on Jaya, Noland discovers the people there suffering from a disease.
06:56Just as they're about to sacrifice one of their people to one of the huge snakes they
07:01worship as gods, Noland steps in and cuts off its head.
07:11For context, powerful fighters in the present-day Lanzaro couldn't even scratch one of these
07:17beasts.
07:18As if that wasn't awesome enough, Noland manages to convince them to let him find the cure,
07:23betting his own life on it.
07:24He was a beast, and that's no lie.
07:313.
07:33Franky Changes The Weather Sometimes something is so funny, it crosses over
07:38into badass territory.
07:40Franky's cyborg body is powered by cola.
07:43During his fight with Fukuro on Eni's lobby, Franky starts running low on his favorite beverage
07:49slash power source.
07:51After some unsuccessful and comedic attempts at substitute drinks, Franky eventually gets
07:56his hands on the real deal.
07:58As he powers up, dark clouds gather, lightning strikes, and the island echoes with his signature
08:04catchphrase.
08:06You might just write it off as a joke, but through the power of sheer awesomeness, Franky
08:19brought a storm to an island where it is literally always sunny.
08:26Super doesn't even begin to cover how epic that is.
08:342.
08:35Luffy Carries His Friends Up a Mountain Doctors are a rarity when the Straw Hats arrive on Drum
08:42Island.
08:43Unfortunately, they desperately need one, since Nami has fallen ill.
08:47The only one around has made her abode at the top of one of the enormous drum-shaped
08:51mountains that give the island its name.
08:58After Sanji is injured in an avalanche, Luffy is left to carry both he and Nami on his back
09:04up a sheer cliff face with nothing but his bare hands.
09:08Under clothed and bitterly cold, Luffy perseveres against all odds to get them the help that
09:13they need.
09:15Then, when Dr. Koreha and Chopper find them, what's Luffy's first thought as he lies there
09:26frostbitten with his hands bleeding?
09:29Save me.
09:30Save them.
09:31What an absolute legend.
09:36Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
09:39Luffy punches spikes.
09:41Even pain won't stop him from beating villains up.
09:44Luffy and Zoro save Smoker.
09:50Smoker finally sees that not all pirates are bad guys.
09:57I've just heard of the commander's command.
09:59I don't think I'd like to thank you.
10:01Sanji and Zoro pave the way.
10:03404 building not found.
10:09Zoro lectures Luffy.
10:11Real first mate energy.
10:13Sanji prank calls Crocodile.
10:25Trolling the villain and making him think your friends are dead priceless.
10:30He's still alive.
10:31It's okay.
10:32It's okay.
10:33The end.

10:50Number one.
10:51Luffy versus Blackbeard round one.
10:54Many pirates want to become pirate king, yet this fateful meeting between two of the most likely
10:59candidates isn't talked about nearly enough.
11:02While escaping Impel Down, Luffy runs into Marshall D. Teach, aka Blackbeard, who's breaking in.
11:09Although they've met before, it's only here that Luffy learns that he's the one responsible
11:13for capturing his brother Ace, setting him up for execution.
11:17Luffy's fast and furious punch is satisfying and well deserved.
11:22However, Blackbeard gives us a taste of his own terrifying might by returning the favour.
11:43While each has bigger fish to fry in the moment, fans may have been given a preview of the series'
11:50final battle over a decade before it's likely to happen.
