One Piece — "No one can take my life!!!"

From Volume 10 - Chapter 84 / Season 1 Episode 39. While Luffy and Sanji are ready to save Nami, and defeat those who did her wrong, Roronoa Zoro cannot be as eager to take down these chumps as we expect him to be. Unlike the rest, he recently suffered multiple nearly-fatal wounds from the greatest swordsman in the world, "Hawkeye" Mihawk, and hasn't been given enough time to recover. The others can fight with all their might, but Zoro is using all his strength just to stand. But with all that being said, can he really allow himself to lose to another swordsman so soon after making his promise to Luffy?

One Piece — "In a one-on-one fight, always bet on Kaido."

From Volume 79 - Chapter 795 / Season 11 Episode 739. Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo have agreed to form an alliance to take down Shanks, an Emperor of the Sea. But with the greatest misfortunate, before they can begin their plan at all, a different Emperor of the Sea lands right next to them. Surprisingly, he wasn't looking to fight them, rather his opponent was himself. But since he lost, we have to ask if these three Worst Generation rookies stand a chance against a beast that cannot even beat himself.

One Piece — "You're looking quite far… into the future!!"

From Volume 89 - Chapter 896/ Season 13 Episode 871. Katakuri has taken too many hits from Snake Man to stand. However, Luffy can barely muster the strength to stay up as well. They've both suffered punches, attacks, and stabs. The entire fight has gone for hours, and if they keep getting back up, it could quite possibly continue until they both die. Their ambitions endlessly collide with equal devastating force. To think a fight that challenged Luffy this much wasn't even against an Emperor of the Sea. Any other pirate would realize that if they're struggling this much already, they're not cut out for the New World. But, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates has an incredible gift of foresight.

One Piece — "I find it embarassing... as a human being."

From Volume 49 - Chapter 472 / Season 6 Episode 367. In order to beat Oars, the strengths of all the Straw Hats combined are not enough. Not only is this beast several times larger than even a Giant, but it's an immortal zombie, powered by the indomitable shadow of their own captain, Monkey D. Luffy. In order to win this battle they must become something greater, they must become one. Franky intends to become the Robot Warrior Big Emperor, a sacred technique that requires nothing less than the loyal cooperation of every member involved.

From Volume 76 - Chapter 753 / Season 11 Episode 690. Confronted about his betrayal by Bellamy, Doflamingo gives no excuses or lies. When asked how he could be so cruel as to send one of his men to kill a loyal servant, the master explains how the two of them are in completely different leagues, how he is not a pirate to be idolized, but an agent of chaos to tremble before.

From Volume 35 - Chapter 333 / Season 4 Episode 236. Luffy has won the battle. But unlike all his other victories, this one is no cause for celebration. Usopp, his crewmate, his friend, lies on the floor, beaten and humiliated. This is not an argument that can be made up with apologies and take backs. No, the crew must leave him along with the poor Going Merry. It's heavy, but this is the path of a captain.

From Volume 68 - Chapter 678 / Season 10 Episode 604. Roronoa Zoro is disappointed to hear from Usopp that Luffy has once again not taken their foe seriously enough, and paid for it. While this kind of thing was expected from Luffy two years ago, the pain of failure was too costly in Sabaody Archipelago, and everybody has been training for two years to make sure they're ready for the New World, so it wouldn't happen again.

But things are different now. Who did he train with? And what's he trying to accomplish?
