Laughter Style

Many individuals throughout the world possess a distinctive Laughter Style (笑い方), using unusual sounds to modify or even replace conventional laughter (e.g. "Hahaha"). These styles frequently reflect personal traits, motifs, or Devil Fruit abilities.

It should be noted that those with a signature laugh may not always use it exclusively, and may laugh in conventional ways as well.

Translation and Dub Issues
The 4Kids-dubbed anime makes few, if any, attempts to retain distinctive laughter styles, typically replacing them with conventional ones. Significantly more are retained in the Viz manga and Funimation-dubbed anime, though some (especially in early parts of the storyline) are still discarded.

Trivia

 * In the One Piece Vivre Card Visual Dictionary it is wrongly translated to English as How to Laugh.
