Let me start by saying that I don't explicitly mean that you cried or felt sad during the moment, but I just want to know what plucked your strings the most out of the expansive One Piece adventure. Did you laugh super hard when Luffy stuffed the Zombie back in the ground on Thriller Bark? Or did you feel sad when Chouchou lost his owners store to Richie and Mohji? Mad when Arlong made Nami cry? So many great moments, which do you feel most connected to?
For me, when Luffy lost Ace I broke down and cried. It really hit home for me, as my brother passed away 4 years ago. I was still in the grieving stages and watching the episodes weekly (this was before I started to read the manga) was a real emotional time for me. When Jinbe got Luffy to concentrate on what he had, not what he lost.. it really taught me a lesson that I have lived by since then. I have loved One Piece since I started watching it, but this scene really established an emotional anchor in my mind.
