Both main and supporting characters are full of memorable quotes! Famous lines that color One Piece (1–10)
Miracles only come down upon those who refuse to give up!!!!Emporio Ivankov
Emporio Ivankov, with a striking character in every aspect—from appearance to mannerisms—is also appealing in that he’s an elusive, hard-to-pin-down figure.
As a high-ranking officer of the Revolutionary Army, he delivers a line that throws down the idea that achieving anything requires a strong conviction.
Miracles come to those who refuse to give up and face any situation head-on, and the path to grasp them is anything but easy—this message is conveyed in a forceful tone.
Having witnessed both miracles that came true and those that did not, his words about the road being harsh carry real persuasive weight.
Thank you so much for loving me!!!Portgas D. Ace
Here are the final words of Portgas D.
Ace—known by the epithet “Fire Fist Ace”—that moved fans to tears.
These words, addressed to everyone who cared about him, really tug at the heartstrings.
Being able to speak so honestly at the very end is truly admirable.
Perhaps the ability to say something like this comes from treasuring each day, loving those around you, and living in a way that others find admirable.
It’s the kind of message that makes you think, “I want to live like that, I want to become that kind of person,” and it resonates not only with fans but with many people.
Because a man said—even just once—that he would definitely come back!Brook
These words were spoken by Brook, the Straw Hat Pirates’ musician, also known by nicknames like “Humming Brook” and “Soul King.” He said them while thinking of Laboon, the whale he was separated from.
The words are filled with regret for not fulfilling his promise to “definitely return,” and with self-reproach.
Keeping promises is surprisingly difficult.
Even if we fail to keep them, Brook makes us want to be the kind of person who continues to cherish a promise made with someone, no matter how much time has passed.
Only those living in the present can shape this era.Silvers Rayleigh
These are the words of Silvers Rayleigh—also known as the Dark King—who appeared as a member of the Pirate King’s crew and later became Luffy’s mentor.
He spoke them in response to a young man’s remark that Roger, their former captain, had laid the foundation for the new era of pirates to flourish, powerfully conveying that time is moving forward.
Because people live in the present and keep walking their path, a new era is born; the message also urges us to follow the road we believe in rather than merely venerating past greats.
While acknowledging the influence of those who shaped history, these words instill the resolve to forge ahead and create a new era of our own.
Stop counting only what you’ve lost!!!!Jinbe
Are you counting only the things you don’t have and the things you can’t do, saying you can’t move forward because you lack this or that? At times like these, give yourself a jolt with these words from Jinbe—known as “Jinbe the Knight of the Sea,” a member of the Straw Hat Pirates! He even said this to his crewmate Luffy when Luffy was lamenting what he had lost.
The quote continues: since what’s missing is missing, look properly at what still remains with you! Just as he says, instead of focusing only on what you lack, turn your eyes to what you have now and what you can do, and start by taking action on whatever lies before you!
A wound on the back is a swordsman’s shame.Roronoa Zoro
These are the words of Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates and Luffy’s first crewmate.
He spoke them during his first battle with Mihawk, the world’s strongest swordsman, at the moment he was about to receive the finishing blow.
The lines embody his way of life and pride as a swordsman: choosing to face the final strike head-on and refusing to take a wound on his back.
That stance conveys an unyielding spirit and a will to keep moving forward no matter the circumstances.
It’s a memorable quote that shows how, even with his life on the line, he strives to uphold the code of a swordsman.
I don’t know any other way to fight than going all out!!!Monkey D. Luffy
The story’s protagonist, Monkey D.
Luffy, is portrayed in a striking way that highlights his uniquely free way of living.
His lines convey that he sticks to that way of life even in battle, and you can feel his resolve to face hardships head-on.
There are moments when he’s told to ease up, but it’s precisely because he always confronts everything with full force that it feels like he opens paths no one else can reach.
It may come across as an expression of a clumsy way of living, but it also gives viewers the energy to keep pushing forward.
