Both the females intially joined the crew and were hated by Zoro at the time, both of them left with a tough attitude and came back crying and asking Luffy to save them after making a lot of drama.

It's not a similarity but a contrast, aside form Luffy, that is the people he recruited over his journey by far, the normal humans came all from East Blue, whereas all the abnormal beings, (df user, animal, cyborg and skeleton) came from the Grand Line.

Both the renowned criminals that Luffy had some relation prior to his journey began showed up at at a time when Luffy was in a great pinched and saved his ass but did not meet him (Dragon in Lougetown and Shanks in Marineford).

Both in case of the Shichibukai or the Yonko, the 1st introduced characters (Mihawk and Shanks respectively) were swordsmen of immense fame.

Can't think of any at the moments but I am sure there are lots more.......and Neo-san, as usual, awesome blog XD!
