I never watched One Piece a lot in general, but when 4kids was doing it I noticed two things that were hilariously bad censored things:
One early episode had a guy pointing a gun at another guy's head, but it was censored to be some sort of elaborate pulley-system gun fixed to hit the guy on the head with a hammer. First of all, they didn't change the gun in far shots, so it still looked like a regular gun, and second I think a devastating blow to the head COULD be just as graphic as a headshot from a gun if it hits them hard enough.
The second was when Luffy was fighting that gold-armored guy (was his name Don Krieg?). He had a gun in his shield or something that shot bullets, and they clearly were bullets in a lot of shots, that is until Luffy got hit. They poorly edited the bullet he pulled out of his arm to be a suction cup covered in purple stuff, and added exposition between the minor characters watching about "poisoned suction cups".
