I don't want to sound like a snobby One Piece fan (even though I am), but if the last few chapters of One Piece isn't proof enough that it's above and beyond 99% of other shounen series out there, I don't know what is.
I am not ashamed to say I cried like a baby when I read this, and when Whitebeard died in the manga
One day, the white whale suddenly swallows many ships all around the world that carried many treasures.It’s body became heavy and Moby Dick dives into the deepest sea,…That I have found it.For those who want the treasure, since it’s inside a whale.There is no map.After that, along the waves. Regardless of the truth...There is many stories from those who saw it.With so much gold in its belly, that whale became like a treasure ship...Even now it is still swimming somewhere in this world.That’s the story about the legendary white whale... Moby Dick...Sorry pops...I think they stayed awake until the ‘Moby Dick is the name of legendary white whale’ part…...That’s okay, Gurararara, That itself is already impressive !You can tell them the rest Marco.…I didn’t know there was such a legend…Pops, you've never had an interest in treasure, but... a whale that carries treasures...That’s weird, a pirate that aren't interested in treasure.

MY TREASURE !MY FAMILY !ALL MY PRECIOUS SONS ! This treasure ship is wobbling, and holding all…My precious children into a sleep…Is there anything...
...Happier than this ?While I was pretending to be asleep...I heard... his kind voice.Moby Dick.The legendary white whale.That carries all of us.In this ship, with many many brothers, I have spend so many days with my family. Pops.You called good for nothing like us your children,And loved us.There is nothing happier than this. We are the ones who are happy.It was us.Sigh, what lousy guys...
