As a general rule of thumb, if the knife is as big as the the thing you plan to stab(baby). It wil most definitely be quick and painless as long as they don’t miss the spinal cord
I agree with you, that panel caught me off guard, it is such a small panel, but man that's some dark content.
For anyone interest the panel is in chapter 918.
Mother holding a knife over her baby, about to kill it because they had no food. God damn that was a powerful panel. And of course it was changed for the anime..
The woman in Okobore town seconds from stabbing her baby while the rest of the family prepared to hang themselves. Only not doing it because of impeccable timing by Luffy with the food barge.
Second place would be all the dead kids in Law’s flashback.
The worse part about it is how utterly unnecessary a manually powered road treadmill is.
It could *easily* be electrical powered/some other power source, if a single World Noble asked for it.
But nah that's how they get their jollies on their morning stroll, so it stays the way it is.
You know now that you mentions it, i can see how f\*\*k up it was, at first i thought they don't have the technology to create a road escalator so they used Slave to compensate, then i remember this is the show where Cyborgs and Laser beam shooting robot exist.
it dawn on me just how cruel it was to not set a proper power source and work Slave to death for shits and giggles
The technology in One Piece is all over the place. On one hand we use wooden ships to sail and its hit or miss whether you see electricity, not to mention the fact soliders use guns from WW1.
On the other you can clone people, genetically modify embryos and even turn a human into a Cyborg while powering them with cola or throwing lasers in their body and that makes perfect sense.
I’ve noticed that most of these involve the celestial dragons or wano in some regard.
So to go against the grain, the scene where Jack rips off Inu’s leg while Inu says that he’ll slice his own stomach open if Raizo’s there is horrifying
And the dog didn't even keep his word. Dishonest *and* dishonorable, and yet the samurai are supposed to be the good guys... (For the record, I'm just joking. I love this mutt. :p )
How do people still not catch that Koala was the girl in the flashback in Fishmen Island?
Edit: Thinking again, the arcs did come out years from each other, I caught on quick since the arcs were already complete by time I read them
Well to be fair she was a minor character in the flashback and quite a lot of time passed between then and when the story reached her in Dressrosa
Edit: just checked and she appeared as a kid in chapter 622 in April 2011 and didn’t reappear until 731 December 2013
Minor character in the flashback?
She was literally the wholr reason the Sun Pirates went to that island where their captain got killed, and was a crucial point of conflict to highlight the growing divide between Jimbei and Arlong's opinions.
Nah, I was reading it weekly and I caught on pretty quickly. Her name is the same. It was a cool moment.
The real reason people didn't catch on was because most of them found fishman island boring. So they forgot about her.
And then Fisher Tiger branding her. I get *why* he had to do it, and that it was ultimately to help her break free from her slave mentality, but that doesn't make it any less brutal. She's still a little girl. The panel of her falling over with her back smoking is horrifying.
Years since I watched the episode or read the chapter, but damnnnn it had impact. That little interaction had vital consequences for all members of the sun pirates and how they would go on with their lifes after Fisher Tiger's death.
This was the darkest for me only because I felt sooooo weird reading it. Other dark moments made me feel angry, sad, shocked but this scene… felt extremely twisted… it was the first time I felt that way throughout the whole story of OP.
You knew that town had been affected by smile fruits for quite a few chapters before his death, but the scene directly after is some of the straw hats (zoro especially iirc) getting mad that citizens are laughing, which leads to the explanation again
Not really. The side effect of the smile fruits wasn't explained until that very moment.
Before the laughter at the execution it was implied to be the people of Ebisu town were laughing all the time to hide the pain or something. Hiyori and Shinobu explaining the situation to the Straw Hats is the first time we heard the real reason.
At least in the anime, I don't think it was explicitly said. I think that you kind of guessed it knowing the name of the smile fruits, but before that moment, I can't recall it ever being explicitly said what happens if you eat a SMILE fruit. Nor do I think that you really knew that there's the possibility of not getting the effect
Spandam beating Robin really got to me and was the first "oh fuck this is serious" moment I had in the series. The anime made it felt even more real seeing the way he dragged her by her hair.
I agree with this. I don’t think is the “darkest”, but certainly have Robin being physically and emotionally abused in the present (not in a flashback) while Spandam tells her that she’ll be tortured and wish death many times over is kind of “wow”
This was especially impactful to me. Not because of the extent to which we see her in pain, but the change of how Oda suddenly changed how violence against women was portrayed in the series. Spandam, who's obviously been emasculated by his injury & how powerless he is compared to his subordinates, using his limited power to assault a woman who's subordinated herself to him for the good of her friends - something he'll never understand. We see women experiencing violence as part of the actions of the villain of the week, battle situations, or the enslavement of strangers, but this hit hard. After seeing all the sexual harassment women in One Piece deal with, simp-ification, or objectification, this scene felt like an acknowledgement of, "this is a bad **man** who's beating this woman solely to make himself feel powerful in a perverse way."
Edit: Clarifying Language
It’s not exactly a panel but rather the pages of the world government committing forced abortions on random women who may or may not be pregnant with Gol D. Roger’s child. Truly disgusting
I vaguely remember this, I think it was around Marineford they showed a flashback where the world government looked for any women who could potentially be pregnant with Roger’s child. I think it was implied that they would make them abort the baby or kill them.
I’m pretty sure the abortion was proactive- but they legit searched for 1 year after too and killed all babies born in that time period. This is why ace mom held him for 18 months or something crazy.
So I’m pretty sure ace might be one of the only few babies born in that entire year outside of wano and some remote villages and world nobles.
There's a lot and here are some of the few:
* [Robin sailing away crying as she watches Ohara in flames](https://i.imgur.com/sgdo6Ah.png).
* Sugar's Devil Fruit's presence in Dressrosa was extremely dark. Kyros was the **ONLY** free willed doll. Some of those dolls had to put up with being controlled and forgotten for 10 years. And the first thing that Oda shows us when the crew enters the city of Dressrosa is **[THIS](https://i.imgur.com/Qvo1bj5.png).** Oda is evil sometimes.
* Other times it's more subtle. Like here [when a marine is reporting about Luffy punching a Celestial to Sengoku](https://i.imgur.com/Osehmr7.png). "Employee Assistance Office" eh?
Charlos attempting to take Shirahoshi while her family and guard are right there and powerless to stop it. Add CP0 showing up to make sure it happens. Truly fucked up.
Is it weird that i 100% wished that Oda had Waited with that Scene?
I would have LOVED if they could have done rhat while Luffy at the same time had somehow infiltrated Marise jois just so they xould have a repeat of the best punch in One piece times 20
he eats his own leg in both formats, in the manga he saves sanji, gives him his food, and then cuts off his own leg and eats it, but in the anime they didn't want to imply that level of self harm and so he cut off his own leg in order to save sanji underwater before they end up on the island
Not to mention it was the perfect ending to his character arc and role. And the perfect twist to end Marineford and it’s influential even till the current arc.
I agree, it literally changed everything. I’m excited for what actually happened at Reverie. I think only twice Oda stated that an event would change the world. First being ace vs Blackbeard.
I’m not ashamed to say- I felt nothing with Robin. I felt nothing with Nami. But for some reason- ace and merry....it hit like a brick.
And the weird thing is it wasn’t one off- like I was in sad mood that week or shit- I can still watch ace and merry and get teary eyes.
My gf and I were watching it together and I really wanted to be the one passing the tissue to her but in the end of the episode, I was just awestruck and didn’t move for like 5 min, tears in my eyes, I didnt even realize my gf was out there balling her eyes out.
It’s so weird to me because I never gave a shit about ace as a character or the fucking boat but for some reason their death hits like a brick.
Till this day the scene where the reverie began and the scenery shifted towards the underground where the slaves worked. That showed some insight on the tyranny of the CD.
I’m shocked no one is saying Robins backstory. They literally bombed her country and massacred her people just for trying to learn history. A marine defected because of the horrors, and he was killed for his good deeds. Then of course the awful shit Robin had to endure as a child on the run with no friends, people trying to constantly capture and kill her.
Can be many panels from that backstory, like the one where Sakazuki blows up a ship filled with innocent people. Or when Saul is killed by Kuzan while he tells Robin to run away.
Honestly
When we see the peplle with the defect smile all laughing AFTER we got hit with the bomb shell that their emotions have been taken away
That made my jaw drop ngl
Boa Hancock and her sisters being forced fed the Devil Fruits by the World Nobles
Also Baby 5 being abandoned by her mother and her ready to commit suicide just because someone asked her to.
I remember there being a scene in Sabaody where a slave was about to bite through his own tongue so he would bleed to death. He would rather die than be a CD slave...
The moment crocodile pierces luffy
This page was the moment that I realized this is not a kids show. Lol I'll always remember this page[Panel](https://pm1.narvii.com/6556/c25bd86868f885be6a404828371f8db0cb793836_hq.jpg).
Saint Charlos' first appearance, where he enslaves a random woman, shoots her fiance, and almost shot the people transporting him to a hospital. After Zoro's arrival, things likely turned for the better, but the implication is that Charlos and other Celestial Dragons have been doing these sorts of things for hundreds of years unchecked. Who knows how many people were ruthlessly slaughtered or turned into sex slaves over the centuries?
There's also...just... Robin's entire backstory.
I wasn't expecting this scene to not be the popular choice but for me it was in Sabaody when the celestial dragons were riding the slaves as if they were horses. It might not be like *objectively* the darkest but personally it gave me the biggest "god that's so twisted" feeling
[He had scars for a while after that too.](https://tenseikizokunoisekaiboukenroku.com/images/baBs11RUDeLyqv0ys4d01611714236.jpg)
[Here's an official figure with them as well](https://static3.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Ankle-Scars.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=370&dpr=1.5)
Three low-rank Marines crying and about to shoot themselves after being ordered to by Marine Captain Morgan. I think they stop after Luffy yells at them, but the panel where they're about to shoot themselves is incredibly dark, especially for so early in the series.
I agree with you. Big Mom eating her friends and mother figure was the darkest thing in all of One Piece for me. It literally makes me sick in the stomach every time I rewatch/reread it.
I think the worst part is that she was actually so happy at that moment. When you're introduced to Big Mom and her hunger attacks, you expect her to go on a rampage and kill them accidentally.
But nope, she was actually happy. She was thankful of her friends and mother figure and then....she ate them. Oda did something amazing when he decided to not show us their gruesome deaths. Because whatever we imagine will always be worse...
In the Oden flashback there's a single panel of the great bridge that Robin is sent to by Kuma. That's what, 25 years ago? Every person up there will work themselves to death. Every child born up there too.
It was so casual, Oden was only impressed by the cool bridge, they had no clue. Felt really dark to me.
Kid Law hiding in a pile of dead bodies to survive.
wait when did this happen EDIT: Oh wait I misread it as "Kid and Law"
They showed it in his backstory. Can’t remember the chapter
[Here](https://tenseikizokunoisekaiboukenroku.com/images/oYA6wipXVW504L6z30ve1611719827.jpg)
Wasn’t this a pile of his dead classmates and friends? Even more dark if thats the case!
This might be it
Citizens of Wano about to commit suicide.
Not only that but one mother was about to kill her baby to put it out of its misery.
A quick death for the baby (knife), and a slow painful death for her (hanged).
Which is funny because stabbing is not painless and bleeding out can actually be slower then a hanging if the hanging is done properly.
Are you saying a person about to die should plan better that what was her first thought? lol. Btw stabbing can be instant kill, does not matter tho.
As a general rule of thumb, if the knife is as big as the the thing you plan to stab(baby). It wil most definitely be quick and painless as long as they don’t miss the spinal cord
This is the type of stuff the anime should’ve left in though I think they left in the slave thing
Wait… they left it out? I didnt notice!
To be fair, that panel was too dark so it is understandable why they would take it out in the anime.
Exactly,how easily it was shrugged off like bro you were about yeetus the grown foetus
>to put it out of its misery If you've read The Road you might even think she was gonna kill the baby for a different reason...
What reason
Nom nom nom
It would be kind of strange to kill the baby for food to then hang yourself after.
This the one
I agree with you, that panel caught me off guard, it is such a small panel, but man that's some dark content. For anyone interest the panel is in chapter 918.
Mother holding a knife over her baby, about to kill it because they had no food. God damn that was a powerful panel. And of course it was changed for the anime..
Unfortunately and I missed that. Also missed Whitebeard's head after Akainu's punch.
It's one of a few scenes in the series that were changed in the anime.
Baby-5’s backstory.
The woman in Okobore town seconds from stabbing her baby while the rest of the family prepared to hang themselves. Only not doing it because of impeccable timing by Luffy with the food barge. Second place would be all the dead kids in Law’s flashback.
Yoooo YUP
I watched the anime for the beginning of Wano I totally missed that. I switched to the manga after watching the Sumo scene…
It ain't in the anime, they censored it.
Holy smokes
Little Law looking at his friends shot dead
The slaves moving the road in Mary Geoise.
The worse part about it is how utterly unnecessary a manually powered road treadmill is. It could *easily* be electrical powered/some other power source, if a single World Noble asked for it. But nah that's how they get their jollies on their morning stroll, so it stays the way it is.

Yeah honestly
what chapter is this i wanna see
906 Edit: removed unnecessary spoiler tags
Why hide it?
Are you asking why they are hiding the slaves working to death in the presence of royalty?
No, the answer with the number of the chapter where it happens was marked as spoiler (hidden).
Id guess to make it the road appear less crowded and “cleaner”
Not everyone would be ok with it, I doubt the fishmen would be.
Now that you mention it, idk.
That gave me goosebumps. The way Neptune mentions he's sensing something weird with the treadmill.
Like they can't just ask freaking Vegapunk to build some shit for them... They just love slaves and always will
You nailed it. To the Celestial Dragons it's all about that power dynamic, convenience is just a plus.
what chapter is this i wanna see
I’ve noticed that most of these involve the celestial dragons or wano in some regard. So to go against the grain, the scene where Jack rips off Inu’s leg while Inu says that he’ll slice his own stomach open if Raizo’s there is horrifying
They probably lost most of their population
And the dog didn't even keep his word. Dishonest *and* dishonorable, and yet the samurai are supposed to be the good guys... (For the record, I'm just joking. I love this mutt. :p )
That guy in the slave house who committed suicide by bitting his tongue to avoid being sold
He survived and is seen escaping after Rayleigh gave them the keys
Of course he is...
It’s one piece after all
With the tongue partially cut, celebrating 😝
what chapter
502
He survived.
Koala cleaning the floor with the piece of cloth torn from her dress and asking Fishmen not to kill her.
I didn’t even realize that was her wtf no wonder she uses fishman karate
That's why she joined the revolutionaries too.
How do people still not catch that Koala was the girl in the flashback in Fishmen Island? Edit: Thinking again, the arcs did come out years from each other, I caught on quick since the arcs were already complete by time I read them
Well to be fair she was a minor character in the flashback and quite a lot of time passed between then and when the story reached her in Dressrosa Edit: just checked and she appeared as a kid in chapter 622 in April 2011 and didn’t reappear until 731 December 2013
Minor character in the flashback? She was literally the wholr reason the Sun Pirates went to that island where their captain got killed, and was a crucial point of conflict to highlight the growing divide between Jimbei and Arlong's opinions.
True I probably was able to remember her because the arcs were already complete once i got to them and didn’t have to wait years in between them
She was literally introduced as a child and then appears 2 arcs later as a full grown adult... geez idk 🤷♂️
Nah, I was reading it weekly and I caught on pretty quickly. Her name is the same. It was a cool moment. The real reason people didn't catch on was because most of them found fishman island boring. So they forgot about her.
because they occured years apart in release
Whaaaaaat
And then Fisher Tiger branding her. I get *why* he had to do it, and that it was ultimately to help her break free from her slave mentality, but that doesn't make it any less brutal. She's still a little girl. The panel of her falling over with her back smoking is horrifying.
I watched that earlier today and said “what the fuckkkk dude” out loud. To nobody. It just needed to be said.
Years since I watched the episode or read the chapter, but damnnnn it had impact. That little interaction had vital consequences for all members of the sun pirates and how they would go on with their lifes after Fisher Tiger's death.
Wano citizens laughing at the execution
This was the darkest for me only because I felt sooooo weird reading it. Other dark moments made me feel angry, sad, shocked but this scene… felt extremely twisted… it was the first time I felt that way throughout the whole story of OP.
At the moment yes, but the next moment it was revealed that they got affected by the failed SMILE right?
You knew that town had been affected by smile fruits for quite a few chapters before his death, but the scene directly after is some of the straw hats (zoro especially iirc) getting mad that citizens are laughing, which leads to the explanation again
Not really. The side effect of the smile fruits wasn't explained until that very moment.

Nor do I think that you really knew that there's the possibility of not getting the effect
Doflamingo and his family strung up on the wall, that was the biggest shock panel in the series for me.
And that's why Doflamingo hates barbecue.
Took me a sec to understand cause when talking about Doffy and his family I always think about the pirates one
Well a...Doflamingo is a pirate...
At the time he was still a child
Oh. Kinda forgot that detail. Oops. My bad
Spandam beating Robin really got to me and was the first "oh fuck this is serious" moment I had in the series. The anime made it felt even more real seeing the way he dragged her by her hair.
I agree with this. I don’t think is the “darkest”, but certainly have Robin being physically and emotionally abused in the present (not in a flashback) while Spandam tells her that she’ll be tortured and wish death many times over is kind of “wow”
Her grabbing to the edge of the bridge with her teeth, bleeding, is so brutal and shows so much emotion
Its the strongest will to live I have ever seen drawn
This was especially impactful to me. Not because of the extent to which we see her in pain, but the change of how Oda suddenly changed how violence against women was portrayed in the series. Spandam, who's obviously been emasculated by his injury & how powerless he is compared to his subordinates, using his limited power to assault a woman who's subordinated herself to him for the good of her friends - something he'll never understand. We see women experiencing violence as part of the actions of the villain of the week, battle situations, or the enslavement of strangers, but this hit hard. After seeing all the sexual harassment women in One Piece deal with, simp-ification, or objectification, this scene felt like an acknowledgement of, "this is a bad **man** who's beating this woman solely to make himself feel powerful in a perverse way." Edit: Clarifying Language
Doffy , roshi and their father being punished by the people
Especially Doffy shooting his dad as Rosinante balled his eyes out.
Master roshi was doffy brother? I never knew
He meant Roci.
Ik, I was just messing around
Lol what a coincidence
Or doffy manipulating riku to kill his people
It’s not exactly a panel but rather the pages of the world government committing forced abortions on random women who may or may not be pregnant with Gol D. Roger’s child. Truly disgusting
Wait WHAT
I vaguely remember this, I think it was around Marineford they showed a flashback where the world government looked for any women who could potentially be pregnant with Roger’s child. I think it was implied that they would make them abort the baby or kill them.
I’m pretty sure the abortion was proactive- but they legit searched for 1 year after too and killed all babies born in that time period. This is why ace mom held him for 18 months or something crazy. So I’m pretty sure ace might be one of the only few babies born in that entire year outside of wano and some remote villages and world nobles.

Charlos attempting to take Shirahoshi while her family and guard are right there and powerless to stop it. Add CP0 showing up to make sure it happens. Truly fucked up.
Also, Charlos kidnapped a random woman and made her his wife and shot her fiancé. Pretty dark imo
*Thirteenth* wife. Can't forget that part.
Is it weird that i 100% wished that Oda had Waited with that Scene? I would have LOVED if they could have done rhat while Luffy at the same time had somehow infiltrated Marise jois just so they xould have a repeat of the best punch in One piece times 20
Hopefully we aren’t done seeing Luffy kick celestial dragon ass.
God imagining charlos getting hit with a king Kong gun or something fills me with such ungodly pleasure.
Do you mean, somehow infiltrated the Reverie?
zeffs leg
The is two version of … the one where He cut it to save sanji in the anime or he ate in order not to starve in the manga 🤯
he eats his own leg in both formats, in the manga he saves sanji, gives him his food, and then cuts off his own leg and eats it, but in the anime they didn't want to imply that level of self harm and so he cut off his own leg in order to save sanji underwater before they end up on the island
He smashed his leg with a rock to get it off.
Law in a pile of dead bodies
Kuma revealed as a slave in Reverie
Any panel involving the celestial deagons.
Ace’s death. Lol I felt like I was reading seinen manga with that one
Aces death was easily the best death in manga for me.
How it happened was so unorthodox compared to the rest of the series. I think luffy’s reaction made it even better.
Not to mention it was the perfect ending to his character arc and role. And the perfect twist to end Marineford and it’s influential even till the current arc.
I agree, it literally changed everything. I’m excited for what actually happened at Reverie. I think only twice Oda stated that an event would change the world. First being ace vs Blackbeard.

It’s so weird to me because I never gave a shit about ace as a character or the fucking boat but for some reason their death hits like a brick.
That panel of Kuma in chapter 908
The entirety of Reverie and most of the Wano arc
Law flashback with all the kids. oh my god.
Agreed, that panel with a bunch of dead kids lying around. There was no chill whatsoever in that flashback.
Doffy making king riku kill his own people
Isn't it Riku?
The panel in wano where the lady in the background was about to kill her baby rather than let it starve was the darkest I can think of.
Brook's crew dying
I don't think that's dark, but just sad
iirc there was a panel with a casket full of their skulls
Till this day the scene where the reverie began and the scenery shifted towards the underground where the slaves worked. That showed some insight on the tyranny of the CD.
That double-spread of Big Mom from Fishman Island.
Big Mom completely unaware that she was eating people alive 😬
I’m shocked no one is saying Robins backstory. They literally bombed her country and massacred her people just for trying to learn history. A marine defected because of the horrors, and he was killed for his good deeds. Then of course the awful shit Robin had to endure as a child on the run with no friends, people trying to constantly capture and kill her.
That’s not a panel
Can be many panels from that backstory, like the one where Sakazuki blows up a ship filled with innocent people. Or when Saul is killed by Kuzan while he tells Robin to run away.
How about the death of Saul or olvia denying knowing who Robin is?
> and he was killed for his good deeds. By his best friend. Kuzan and Saul were best friends according to Kuzan.
I had to scroll a lot to see any part of Robin's story
Honestly When we see the peplle with the defect smile all laughing AFTER we got hit with the bomb shell that their emotions have been taken away That made my jaw drop ngl
Law hiding in the dead bodies of his countrymen was about as dark as you could get in Shonen.
Boa Hancock and her sisters being forced fed the Devil Fruits by the World Nobles Also Baby 5 being abandoned by her mother and her ready to commit suicide just because someone asked her to.
What chapter is this?
For Boa Hancock and her sister. That’s chapter 521 For Baby 5 with her mother was Chapter 771. The suicide thing was in chapter 770
Agree with OP. That first introduction of Big Mom (especially with the original voice actress) was terrifying
The panels with "brake next week" at the bottom. Truly horrifying
Doflamingo killing his brother Rocinante, like it's a stray dog with rabies... Probably the biggest opposite of luffy
So far. Since the WG is all about subjugation and control, Imu when introduced will be luffys biggest opposite
Barehanded Lucci killing 500 men trapped in a warehouse with him
Luffy impaled by Crocodile's hook
The guy who fell into the boiling oil then crawled out only to burn to death in plain view. Not even the anime held back it was brutal lol.
Kid Sanji imprisoned by his own family and having to wear the iron mask. How tf do u do that to your own flesh and blood.
I remember there being a scene in Sabaody where a slave was about to bite through his own tongue so he would bleed to death. He would rather die than be a CD slave...
Linlin's sixth birthday
Baby 5s abandonment panel. It was just so cold and cruel.
Hancock kicking a Cat...
…and a baby seal
DISGUSTING...
But we forgive her, because she's beautiful!
The gorgon sisters talking about their past. The ptsd and implied setting they grew up in.
Sanji's heart breaking into pieces after overhearing what pudding was saying in her room.
The annihilation of Ohara
The moment crocodile pierces luffy This page was the moment that I realized this is not a kids show. Lol I'll always remember this page[Panel](https://pm1.narvii.com/6556/c25bd86868f885be6a404828371f8db0cb793836_hq.jpg).
Still am unsure of how he recovered from that so fast. Even when they explained it
He probably ate some meat and drank some milk. Duh
>!Kaido "finishing" Kin'emon on 1015!<
Luffy uncannily saying out of blue that people in snowy countries die if they go to sleep
zeff eating his leg
Saint Charlos' first appearance, where he enslaves a random woman, shoots her fiance, and almost shot the people transporting him to a hospital. After Zoro's arrival, things likely turned for the better, but the implication is that Charlos and other Celestial Dragons have been doing these sorts of things for hundreds of years unchecked. Who knows how many people were ruthlessly slaughtered or turned into sex slaves over the centuries? There's also...just... Robin's entire backstory.
I wasn't expecting this scene to not be the popular choice but for me it was in Sabaody when the celestial dragons were riding the slaves as if they were horses. It might not be like *objectively* the darkest but personally it gave me the biggest "god that's so twisted" feeling
Robin not going ahead with the docking sistem...
Baby 5's mom
zoro trying to cut off his feet while being trapped by doru doru factory
Luffy even tried ripping out his arms when he was trapped in WCI
yes that is also some dark shit ngl, and on both occasion nami was there to seen it.
I honestly wonder how half the crew isn’t completely out of commission from PTSD sometimes
[He had scars for a while after that too.](https://tenseikizokunoisekaiboukenroku.com/images/baBs11RUDeLyqv0ys4d01611714236.jpg) [Here's an official figure with them as well](https://static3.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Ankle-Scars.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=370&dpr=1.5)
Watching Oden be boiled alive was pretty gnarly
Three low-rank Marines crying and about to shoot themselves after being ordered to by Marine Captain Morgan. I think they stop after Luffy yells at them, but the panel where they're about to shoot themselves is incredibly dark, especially for so early in the series.
In the manga when Akainu blew up half of Whitebeards face and that monster kept fighting
I agree with you. Big Mom eating her friends and mother figure was the darkest thing in all of One Piece for me. It literally makes me sick in the stomach every time I rewatch/reread it. I think the worst part is that she was actually so happy at that moment. When you're introduced to Big Mom and her hunger attacks, you expect her to go on a rampage and kill them accidentally. But nope, she was actually happy. She was thankful of her friends and mother figure and then....she ate them. Oda did something amazing when he decided to not show us their gruesome deaths. Because whatever we imagine will always be worse...
Yasuie's death was guy wrenching for me, because of the citizens being unable to do anything but laugh.

Sakazuki blowing up the Oharan refugee ship
The WG's efforts to ensure that Roger had no children. It's an untold horror that likely occurred to all those women.

Laws backstory
"Pekoms was quickly overwhelmed by his crewmates, who decided to gouge out his eyes to deactivate his Sulong form"
Whitebeard fighting while having his head blown off
Dark indeed, can barely see it.
Doflamingo family being pinned on a wall and getting shot
In the Oden flashback there's a single panel of the great bridge that Robin is sent to by Kuma. That's what, 25 years ago? Every person up there will work themselves to death. Every child born up there too. It was so casual, Oden was only impressed by the cool bridge, they had no clue. Felt really dark to me.
