On One Piece chapter 1189, a Japanese reader-reaction channel built a whole video around one complaint: while the captain is dying, his crew just stands there making small talk. Across 305 comments, the top-liked joke (144 likes) is that the whole crew already knows Luffy can't die because he's the protagonist, and another comment tied at 144 likes argues this isn't even a pirate manga anymore since nobody needs a musician or a gunner. The recurring theme is the crew's total lack of urgency: Nico Robin's entrance gets called out as suspiciously well-timed, Bepo (a rival crew's mascot) gets held up as the better example of actually caring about your captain, and multiple commenters compare the Straw Hats unfavorably to Pikmin — until one reply pushes back that even Pikmin act on their own sometimes. Brook's line calling a total stranger "like my daughter" draws particular fire, with one reply arguing the whole cast has developed an unrealistic god's-eye view of the plot. It closes on the harshest line in the thread: a joke that nobody on this ship is safe from getting told to walk the plank.
