Luffy’s expressions between the point immediately after his fight with Usopp (331) and his first smile, after escaping Lucci’s restraints (346).

“Every time Luffy defeats an antagonist or an enemy, within one or two chapters, whether it is because something entertaining or comical happened, Luffy smiles. There has been only one exception: after his fight with Usopp in Water 7, Luffy did not smile for a long time; in the storyline, he did not smile for a whole day, but in terms of chapters, he did not smile for fifteen chapters.”

Actually there is more. Luffy things:

  • strong weirdly rote devotion to wild feasts w/ dancing
  • follows rigid but alien blue and orange morality
  • rebalances the scales wherever he goes so most people get exactly what’s coming to them beyond the bounds of reason (when Luffy is not nearby, the One Piece universe very much does not operate like this); most major exceptions: both his sworn brothers, who might be of similar stock and obviously don’t count somehow
  • on rare occasions spirits people away from their lives on whims
  • does not always give them back
  • avoids calling people not among this number their real names
  • What the actual fuck is One Piece.
