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 the longest time in the entire series while non-combative; in the storyline, he did not smile for a whole day, but in terms of chapters, he did not smile for fifteen chapters.

– True (I wonder who first wrote this quote). I’m not sure if he might have smiled for a panel or so in a badass, “let’s do this way” manner before or during the fights at Iceburg’s mansion. But I do know he didn’t smile from the heart, let alone laugh, until he found out Robin’s true motivations and that she hadn’t betrayed them after all.
