LOL... funny you should mention that, I happed to catch Rave Master "Groove Adventure Rave" on Toonami last saturday... and Plu got drunk from a mysterious brown bottle with "soda" digitally editted on the side.
Well, you can always get the uncensored show on DVD, right?
I remember Outlaw Star getting chopped up for Toonami... no blood, all cleavage banished from the kingdom, and some of the wording was changed (like Gene not wanting to "dance" with that merchant guy). The scene I always remember that made no sense on the censored version and became totally clear once I saw the DVD episodes was the scene where Gene had been poisoned and cut open or something by the lumpy-headed guy... Gene was doing some repairs and then kind of collapsed when everyone came in the room, and Jim went to help him up. On Toonami, Jim was helping him up, then had a surprised look on his face, and then just looked at his hand (with a close-up, too) and went "Huh??" Come to find out, his hand was supposed to have blood all over it. I went, "OHHHHH."

Another thing I find endlessly hilarious is how in Yugioh they edit out the guns so all the evil thugs are pointing at people.
This One Piece stuff is really sad since I think we give our kids too little credit for what they can handle; Sailor Moon had some pretty funny stuff done for it so that it would be appropriate for airing. However cosidering the excessive and stupid "LOL ANYONE TELL US Y SMOKING ISN'T DUM?!" ads that are run constantly it's not surprising at all. I am super excited to see what they do with smoker tho'. No matter what happens it's going to be outrageously funny.
EDIT: On a positive note they did a pretty decent job of changing the opening to English.

Well unlike Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh there's really no gimmicky game to go along with One Piece. It's likely it won't be as big of a hit with the kids... it's just totally wrong for Saturday mornings anyway. They can't show Luffy stabbing himself in the face... so how are they going to explain his scar? He drew it on with a magic marker?
Judging by the manga, I wouldn't say that Yu-Gi-Oh was really suited to being a Saturday morning cartoon either, at least not in the same vein as something like Pokemon or Jackie Chan Adventures. But that didn't really matter. What mattered is whether or not the show that 4Kids could create from Yu-Gi-Oh by rearranging scenes, deleting episodes, and creating entirely new dialogue would be a viable Saturday morning cartoon, and it certainly is. From watching the 4Kids version on Kids' WB, you really don't even get a hint of the original Yugi, who is possessed by an extremely cruel spirit that relishes in punishing his enemies by injuring them, paralyzing them, or condemning their soul to eternal torment. You don't even get the sense that anyone's life is on the line until the Battle City tournament, but that's only in the few cases where they really, truly couldn't cover it up.
So really, there's no point in wondering how they're going to handle one scene or another, because the new story that they create for One Piece might not even include some of the scenes that people here have mentioned.

EXACTLY.
4Kids' One Piece series will begin at episode 7 of the original version, Luffy's origin will be told solely in flashbacks... And any character or story arc too difficult to censor will be dropped.
However, I think that despite who decides to air One Piece, I'm pretty sure it will stay on the air for at least 2 seasons... If the rediculously shuffled schedules of Shaman King and Megaman NT are any indication.
Unfortunatly, once it airs, hardcore fans will probably WISH it would go away. :P
