7 Nostalgic 'ONE PIECE' Moments That Make Fans Struggle to Move On

Zoro had a devastating defeat against Mihawk, and that became a turning point in his life. He vowed to Luffy that he would not lose again in order to achieve the title of the strongest swordsman. Since that moment, his determination has grown stronger, and he continues to fight to get closer to his dream.

As the East Blue saga came to an end, the five crew members made a promise by placing their feet on a barrel. They realized their dreams were different. However, the path they chose remained the same. From that moment, they became each other's support on the long journey to the Grand Line.

When Nami was hurt, Luffy and the crew immediately sprang into action without hesitation. Their march to Arlong Park became a symbol that no enemy could escape the unity of the Straw Hats. After Arlong was defeated, Nami was officially accepted as the navigator they had wanted from the beginning.

When his life was threatened at Roger's execution site, Luffy just smiled widely. He felt that his life was full of beautiful memories and without regrets. This moment became even more meaningful after it was revealed his connection to the Sun God Nika and the freedom he fought for.

In a flashback of Sanji's life, he and Zeff were once stranded on a barren island after a tragic accident. Sanji hardly ate for weeks, while Zeff sacrificed his leg so that they could both survive. From that experience, Sanji learned the meaning of food and grew to be the kindest person in the crew.

For eight years, Nami worked under Arlong's pressure to save her village. When she realized all her efforts were in vain, she was devastated and stabbed her tattoo. When she finally asked for Luffy's help, that moment became one of the most emotional scenes, and Luffy kept his promise.

As a child, Luffy received a hat from Shanks, along with a promise to meet again when he becomes a great pirate. He trained hard until he finally set sail at the age of 17. Only much later was it revealed that Shanks knew the great secret of the Devil Fruit and placed his big hope on Luffy.
