Memorable Quotes

“When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.”

— Dr. Hiriluk

Context:

Spoken during the Drum Island arc (Season 5, Episode 86). Dr. Hiriluk says this to Dalton before taking his own life in a way that defies his enemies, knowing that his dream of curing the country's heart will be inherited by Chopper and Dr. Kureha.

Meaning:

This quote encapsulates the series' theme of Inherited Will. It posits that a person's true existence and legacy live on as long as their dreams and memory are carried by others. A person only truly 'dies' when they and their ambitions are forgotten by the world.

“I want to live! Take me out to sea with you!”

— Nico Robin

Context:

Shouted from the Tower of Justice in Enies Lobby (Season 9, Episode 278). Robin screams this to Luffy and the crew after Luffy orders Sogeking (Usopp) to shoot down the World Government's flag, symbolizing their defiance.

Meaning:

This is the emotional climax of the Enies Lobby arc and a defining moment for both Robin and the Straw Hat crew. After a lifetime of being hunted and betrayed, believing her existence was a sin, Robin finally finds a group of people willing to declare war on the entire world for her sake. Her desperate cry is her first true affirmation of her own desire to live and her complete trust in her new friends.

“Inherited Will, the Tide of the Times, and People's Dreams. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of Freedom, these things will never cease to be.”

— Gol D. Roger (Narrator)

Context:

This is part of the opening narration of many episodes, attributed to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, summarizing the spirit that fuels the Great Pirate Era.

Meaning:

This quote, often used to open episodes, lays out the core philosophical tenets of the entire series. It establishes that the driving forces of the world—ambition, historical momentum, and the innate human desire for freedom—are unstoppable concepts that transcend individual lives and will always push the world forward.
