Many individuals throughout the world possess a distinctive Laughter Style (笑い方, Warai-kata?), 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.
