2:43

am also part of the LA Club that is

freezing over here right now and worried about those

2:48

storm clouds rolling in so yeah

2:50

hopefully hopefully a power doesn't get knocked

2:52

out during this iconic episode before the

2:54

big one-piece break that's true

2:56

Roger earn your Chicago in I am

2:59

Chicago and I was actually just in Chicago

3:01

and then my Chicago parents came in to

3:03

visit here and then I was in San

3:05

Francisco for GDC and now I'm back in

3:07

LA and it's cold so

3:09

what's up with that I don't know

3:11

you brought the cold weather with you I did unfortunately

3:15

and Jill and Roger I think

3:17

you have a several years worth

3:19

thing three years probably I think

3:22

what was it originally for it was for a big

3:24

mom Toki I think it

3:27

was I believe this was he or he or

3:29

no no it was not here sorry live by

3:31

the end of water yeah the bet was

3:34

that Toki would be alive oh yes yes

3:36

yes yes yes and Toki thankfully wasn't alive

3:39

so I'm very happy to still owe you

3:41

that statue that's that's why yeah Jill what

3:43

was your choice that I think you just

3:45

are cashing in on this from yeah three

3:47

years later yeah I'm sorry you know it's

3:50

a real difficult decision yeah but

3:52

I am the

3:54

one I want was kind of out of stock but they actually

3:56

just did a second wave so I'm gonna get the

3:58

playback memories of missile Sunday day beautiful

4:00

good choice choice that is

4:03

a good choice we can't fault

4:05

you for that so Roger now has to it's

4:07

on the air that's the last one was on

4:09

the air too and

4:12

it was gonna be it was originally a big mom statue

4:14

right it was like big mom statue

4:18

and then it was I want

4:20

to say it was a Shira Hoshi and then

4:22

I literally keep getting Japan and then looked for

4:25

the Shira Hoshi statue was like okay didn't get

4:27

it and then came back I think

4:29

it was big mom again and now it's officially Robin

4:31

but I'm happy for you to finally catch it

4:33

that's good I think I own every Shira Hoshi

4:36

portrait of Pirates already so Jill I know I

4:38

know I know

4:41

I don't know if you want to talk about this out here but you

4:44

recently got you moved up in your job

4:46

as they say have you're sure how she

4:48

figures found a new home though or are

4:50

they in the same so okay

4:53

so all my Shira

4:55

Hoshi figures have pretty much always remained at home because

4:57

I've got about 30 of them at

4:59

this point so they have like a

5:01

princess power in the corner but the one I

5:03

have at work is like it

5:06

takes about half my desk it's the one by

5:08

Jame Palace so it costs

5:10

about a grand and it lights up whoo

5:13

but it's you know the highlight

5:15

of my we work for

5:17

we work for light up giant Shira Hoshi

5:20

statue do it for her I

5:22

do it for her I look at her smiling face every time

5:24

I turn to the left and then I stopped crying at work

5:27

we need to get you a collage of the Simpsons

5:30

reference for you I'd be happy to

5:32

play that black so

5:34

there's a lot of big news which

5:37

is appropriate since Rogers here and

5:39

the news Morgan's favorite character still

5:41

nothing's changed yeah it's

5:43

still amazing I think we we could all

5:45

still agree on that so

5:47

first of all we mentioned this I

5:50

posted a quick announcement thing with Ed

5:52

during the middle of the week but

5:54

there is a three-week break in the

5:56

manga for those sticking around here during

5:59

that in no particular order. We're going

6:01

to have our volume 108 SBS recap with Steven.

6:03

We are going to,

6:07

what was that? I don't even know what we're doing for the

6:09

second one. But the third

6:12

one is our live show on

6:14

April 14th at 3pm

6:16

in New York City at

6:18

the City Winery. I've been letting

6:21

everyone know, please show up. I'll be

6:23

there, maybe Ed, I don't know if

6:25

you've made a determination

6:28

as we sit here today. I haven't

6:30

put the flight yet, but I'll be there. Alex,

6:33

I think, is also in a

6:35

similar... That's the plan.

6:37

Yeah, that's the plan. We'll

6:40

also have Mike Padden, friend of the

6:42

show, we'll be there. And

6:45

Brodsky will be there, and maybe more, we'll

6:47

see. Maybe the whole crew

6:50

will just somehow spontaneously arrive by

6:52

teleportation. Like some sort

6:54

of summoning circle will bring them

6:57

there. Because it's just our holograms. We

7:00

have Jedi Council. No, I

7:02

mean, I guess I'd rather be a

7:05

Jedi than a Five Elder, so that's fair.

7:09

There's a few other pieces of

7:11

news, including Alex, I want to give

7:13

this one to you, your ever resident

7:15

Kohei Tanaka fanatic. What's

7:17

happening with the music? So

7:21

the One Piece Music Symphony that

7:23

has been sort of doing

7:26

a few shows every year, they

7:28

are going on a bit of a tour this year, including

7:32

a lot of a few

7:38

US locations. I'll pull that out.

7:42

Yeah, hold on. Delaney, you can cut some

7:44

of this bit out while I get the

7:46

7:56

looking at the dates. I'm just looking on the City

7:59

Winery page, because I was in New York

8:01

at the time, I would definitely come. You

8:03

can actually eat during the podcast? That's

8:06

awesome. That would be pretty

8:08

bad for the audio. Muff bank. Muff

8:11

bank. No, I mean we're not in like a tiny little room.

8:13

I think we could also, one of the things

8:15

they said was that we could

8:17

get like a wine with a one piece

8:20

podcast label on it. Hell, oh my god.

8:22

Oh god damn. Yeah, that's the best. It

8:24

all happens. I don't think they understand our

8:26

turquoise. I don't know. It

8:28

sounds pretty sweet to me. Alright,

8:30

so I've got the... My kids

8:32

need wine. My kids need wine. It was lovely.

8:34

12:54

one Mikey

12:56

ootsky. Thank you much. Yeah. Yeah, they did

12:58

at the I think that was a one-piece

13:01

Card game tournament in LA and it wasn't

13:03

like a huge it was like in a

13:06

convention hall It wasn't like an auditorium, but

13:08

damn, they're great. That's a Long Beach convention.

13:10

Yeah, I think it was LA Yeah,

13:13

why the convention sets like where they usually do

13:15

anime Expo Right. It

13:17

looked like it was in like the

13:19

dealers hall You're right boat like not

13:21

a not a performance room. Yeah,

13:23

it was like a crowd of like 200 Watching

13:26

some of it as a little cringe, but yes But

13:30

they're fantastic Kidadani and

13:32

it's not their fault It's I

13:34

just you didn't you don't

13:36

feel like quite like the audience was there

13:39

for that which is awful because they're amazing

13:42

Not that it's on any of the audience. It's no

13:44

no. No the audience was it Adani Well,

13:47

the audience is into it the the problem the problem

13:49

is you can't hear it because uh, oh, yeah They're

13:52

both they're both mic'd up. Oh, that's

13:54

true. I saw a video that somebody had posted

13:56

with their cell phone and and

13:59

everybody's sort of like you know singing along as

14:02

best they can and I stand corrected them

14:04

yeah look wrench but yeah hey

14:07

they're having fun yeah audio editors

14:09

important and and Roger

14:12

I saw you posted this too we

14:14

should talk about the cool Puma shoes I don't

14:16

know if we talked about them yet but

14:20

I'm guessing you got about these I got they were

14:22

very good yeah I can be a part of them

14:24

were there's a good ad

14:26

for the with gear 5 Luffy I think with the

14:28

yep yep yep you have the moon and everything yeah

14:30

I got I got the gear 5 Luffy one and

14:33

then I got the Blackbeard one and the Luffy one

14:35

is really really nice it's got like the silhouette of

14:37

Nika on the front and then on the back of

14:39

the lip of the shoe you have like the gumbo

14:41

gumbo no me on the insoles

14:44

of all of them they have like the character

14:46

art and then on the sides of the gear

14:48

5 when you've got the like you know the

14:50

gear 5 smoke trail thing that's around Luffy's neck

14:53

it looks really good and then the Blackbeard ones

14:55

I think are actually my favorite they're like black and

14:57

gold with a second

14:59

pair of like red shoelaces that come with them like

15:01

a scarlet red and then it's got

15:04

like Blackbeard's Jolly Roger and gold on it and

15:06

then on the front and on the back and

15:08

then the lip of the shoe also has like

15:10

the yummy yummy no me yeah the darkness puffs

15:13

on his pants and everything and then the thing

15:15

I really like too is that the hang tag

15:17

on all of them is like a berry but

15:19

the berry is a custom Puma logo version of

15:22

the one piece berry it's really nice those

15:25

are too stylish for Blackbeard I feel like Blackbeard

15:27

should be wearing something way more disheveled I kind

15:29

of thought the same thing because the inside of

15:31

those are like suede they're really nice yeah nice

15:33

but the ones the inside

15:36

is fuzzy it's like a

15:38

cloud almost it's like a fuzzy I mean

15:40

it's perfect makes sense I guess yeah fits

15:43

yeah I love when I love when there

15:45

is merchandise that is like we're not getting

15:47

paid for this by the way where it

15:51

looks like it's subtle like you don't know it

15:53

unless you you know it exactly you see it

15:55

exactly the buggy ones are well the shanks ones

15:57

are cool too but the buggy ones in particular

16:00

I also thought looked really nice, but they

16:02

look exactly like a pair that I got

16:04

a couple years ago when Puma did their

16:06

crossover with Mario. And it's like exactly

16:08

the same color scheme as the Mario 64 pair. So

16:11

I'm like, I can't justify this. I

16:14

mean, these look a lot nicer than,

16:16

I forget the last sneaker,

16:20

what do you call it, crossover with one piece, but there was

16:22

one. They did a stampede one and a film gold one back

16:24

in 2019. And then

16:26

there was like a specialty OLED one

16:29

that they did with like the straw hat logo on the

16:31

front that I think was a couple months after that. The

16:33

stampede one. It was one that was like drawn. Like it

16:35

looked, I think it was just like very busy. I think

16:37

that's the LED one that I was thinking of. I recall

16:39

the Sketchers. Oh, that's maybe what

16:41

I'm saying. Oh, yeah. I have the Doflamingo.

16:44

They look incredible. These are much nicer, I

16:46

think, personally. Sorry, Jill. Also

16:49

Doflamingo, you know? That's

16:51

a whole other topic. The

16:53

last thing, speaking of all the films, is

16:56

that film red is, I believe on

16:58

Netflix now, if not soon. And

17:03

yeah, very excited about rewatching

17:06

that again. It

17:08

says by the end of 2024. I

17:12

don't know if that means it's on now or not. I haven't checked,

17:15

but feel free to

17:17

watch and enjoy Otto's music.

17:21

With that out of the way, again,

17:23

we hope to see you on April 14th. We'll

17:26

mention it a bunch. But we have the last

17:28

chapter for a month. Roger,

17:30

we've been scheduling

17:32

him for half a year to come on and

17:34

Oda always takes a break. And then

17:36

Oda knew it was gonna happen, but he mistimed it

17:39

by a week. So Roger

17:41

made it in this time under the water. I was

17:43

able to do it, yeah. I always seem to come

17:45

in for pretty good chapters, too. So I'm happy about

17:47

that. The record's pretty good. It

17:51

is. I think you were on the one,

17:53

I know the one with Robin and the

17:55

O'Hara, that whole chapter. I can't

17:57

remember the last one. I think you

17:59

were here between then. I think there was one in between.

18:01

I think the solo one was the last big good one

18:03

though. Yeah. Yeah, that was a very

18:05

good chapter at that time. Things have kind

18:07

of gone nuts since then. Yeah. To

18:09

be fair. So we're going

18:12

to talk about chapter 11.11 and do some

18:15

piece together and round off.

18:17

So let's get started. This

18:34

is the manga recap for chapter 1111, Sun Shield.

18:40

You can read this chapter in all

18:42

chapters as soon as they come out

18:44

at shownandjumped.viz.com or mangaplus.shuasha.co.jp. Before

18:47

we get into the chapter though, Ed, we

18:49

should definitely read this week's author comment from Oda.

18:51

All right, well first I'm going to read last

18:54

week's author comment because I love it. Oda

18:56

says here, I'm having trouble getting the cat

18:58

meme music video out of my head. The

19:01

one with the cat getting in trouble is too cute.

19:04

So that's just a classic Oda comment right there.

19:07

But this week he had

19:09

something more serious on his mind. Talking

19:11

about Akira Toriyama. He says, right

19:13

now he's got a halo on his head and he's saying,

19:15

sure his stuff should be a

19:18

mangaka without building models without a care in the world.

19:20

I salute you. I

19:23

wonder if this is also how Oda

19:25

sees like him doing his hobbies

19:27

in heaven one day in the

19:29

very, very distant future. Extremely

19:33

distant for all the worried

19:35

fans out there who were constantly worried

19:37

about Oda's health. He's

19:40

taking care of himself now. Oda, I mean Toriyama

19:42

I know. For the next three weeks. Yeah,

19:45

right. For the next three weeks he's really taking

19:47

care of himself. He's maintaining himself. We

19:51

didn't actually read through that comment, but I

19:53

don't think there was very much to say

19:55

Steven Wright except for the fact that he's

19:57

maintaining himself. Yeah, he said he felt bad

19:59

that... it was coming so close to

20:01

you know what happened with Toriyama that

20:03

he was causing undue worry but that

20:06

was not you know the intention yeah

20:09

I don't know I mean some people have

20:11

speculated that it's you know partially like for

20:14

him to recover from Toriyama but I don't

20:16

know that for a fact I think that's

20:18

just that that's circumstantial according to

20:21

him he has a he has time to

20:23

figure out what the one-piece is at Longline

20:25

yeah right a little planning

20:27

time which you know hey like it

20:29

feels like we are converging on some kind

20:31

of a climax for for what's happening in

20:34

Egghead so yeah yeah did

20:36

we joke about this on Discord like

20:39

oh yeah he's basically trying to figure up what the

20:41

name of the ancient country is

20:45

10 more minutes left until that happens so

20:47

we'll see no in a month anyway

20:51

Ed do you want to go through the

20:53

cover of Shonen Jump I definitely want to

20:56

talk about that sure we got

20:58

the monster trio Sanji Zorro and

21:00

Luffy and slightly more modern real

21:02

well not modern but real world

21:04

clothes Sanji is dressed like Trace

21:06

Cushmanato over here and

21:08

Luffy has a lovely crevice and

21:13

Zorro has the poutiest lips you've

21:15

ever seen yeah he's serving or

21:18

so I'm yes they're all definitely

21:20

Johnny Deppin it up here I

21:25

think I've said this before my favorite one-piece

21:27

things are them dressed up as pirates like

21:29

the color spreads like those are usually my

21:31

favorite this one that's not like

21:34

about the 15th anniversary anime okay who's been

21:36

listening to us for so long with Michael

21:43

oh my bluebirds had to die they complain I

21:45

thought we were past you

21:48

just see how many bluebirds are bloopers

21:50

bluebirds so many blue feathers oh

21:52

yes you know you don't

21:54

need to kill birds to get their feathers yeah

21:57

just pluck them right off yeah that's a good

21:59

point But they can hurt your

22:01

another fairly easy Now my way faster for

22:03

businesses and as and and and you know,

22:05

sleepy with some sort of scary and want

22:08

oh but I trusted with the gun even

22:10

less. Consistent with

22:12

requires a good to know. Able

22:14

to be I have a gun violence of any

22:16

again. Heard him. With

22:19

the security of our focus on i out of

22:21

jail. Or. Dead. Or

22:24

will talk about that later. Any anything else on

22:26

the side I like the hands of make it

22:28

look like something has to. cigarettes. Or

22:31

the of as they're called census. Oh

22:34

it's a It's a fairly clean cover

22:36

by jump standards which is nice that

22:39

it's dislike most the eighty percent of

22:41

it is the illustration is only twenty

22:43

percent other shit thrown on top of

22:45

it. Yeah, this is nice for change.

22:48

The logo looks cool to. When.

22:50

You know yell at a bullet holes

22:52

in it school and pretty dope. Ah

22:54

I like with he has had a

22:56

lot ah if I mean if we're

22:58

going by the the rule that in

23:00

which separates feathers you to kill them

23:02

I he definitely killed the enchanted tiki

23:04

room birds suggests that such as another.

23:07

Card: so much bird murdering her Any room

23:09

we're just getting flurry would definitely probably kill

23:12

some birds for some dole whip though I

23:14

do feel like that's on character movie. He.

23:16

Probably eat the bereaved the birds. yeah

23:18

with the weather and everything whitley our

23:20

other dog to the birds in the

23:22

don't with that's wouldn't would have of

23:24

day on a more serious that says

23:26

Stephen I know they've also been posting

23:29

not as the Our Progress videos for

23:31

the color spreads by Think Sooner Jump

23:33

has posted some of the ones for

23:35

the covers also rom yeah and I

23:37

actually when I was in a choice

23:39

and twenty thirteen I got to see

23:41

them putting together one of the one

23:43

piece covers. Which. I always forget

23:45

because it was kind of of whatever

23:47

cover from twenty thirteen but it's is

23:50

they You know they just kept the

23:52

the the source stuff from Oda. Odds

23:54

they've laid out how they wanted the

23:56

page but I think they they're really

23:58

good job on this one. I like

24:00

the primary it looks like pregnant my

24:02

background and I'm as I believe the

24:05

font and everything you see and the

24:07

logo that is probably just jump on

24:09

I doubt no doubt. No. Doubt

24:11

that, and yeah, and I do. You want it

24:13

up? The. When you speak about the

24:15

source to that when you get the color

24:17

walks and you'll see the original art you

24:20

know that would have submitted for this stuff

24:22

and does make me wonder if like it

24:24

you know when we we get the next

24:26

color walk that will and when it was

24:28

everyone will end up having this illustration in

24:30

it. I wonder if it will be the

24:32

exact same layout or if will seem more

24:35

like because they may have overlap them digitally

24:37

to get you stuff like that where they

24:39

take the different you know like order will

24:41

draw the character separately and they are needed

24:43

like okay you. Can arrange them however you

24:45

need to on the cover. Ah, but does

24:47

they'll do? Saw that Digitally Psych? I kind

24:49

of wonder we might see a slightly different

24:52

me a look at these in the Color

24:54

Walk. Yeah, I mean no

24:56

thought. The I'm Front of volumes sometimes

24:58

these shown in Jump Sometime Garrison. Okay,

25:03

That's enough cover. talk. The talk about the color spread

25:05

out what's going on, Services.

25:07

Based on a reader request the straw

25:09

hats strolling through the deep sea using

25:12

jellyfish umbrellas by M. Hue and are

25:14

they seem to be like. Going.

25:17

And of some sort trying to some or

25:19

eg, Go. Up in the

25:22

water attorney or was like jellyfish gotta

25:24

yeah fringe benefits. They have a fairly

25:26

versus a throw in the french fries

25:29

armed. imagine swimming dither off the you're

25:31

either in of water obviously concert one

25:33

are obviously because they're jellyfish but then

25:35

they're not the only one. Vega punks,

25:38

the only one in a submersible of

25:40

any sort out. and these fries are

25:42

not so good. All. Sizes.

25:47

Imagine maybe they're like Vega fries it

25:49

said strolling through the deep sea. Obviously

25:51

right. But like maybe they're at the

25:53

Little Mermaid section of Tokyo Disney see

25:55

that looks like the deep sea and

25:57

that they're on. like the jump in

25:59

jellyfish riders. something eating the french fries you get

26:01

from the concession stand so that's what it's based on

26:04

the progress video for this had them

26:06

actually doing the reader requests like actually

26:09

strolling through the deep sea with oh this

26:11

is why he

26:14

had to put it on Frankie's shirt it says

26:16

flying through the deep sea right yeah

26:20

like the mr. potato head on on

26:23

Luffy shirt emo watching them kill

26:25

his kind yeah emo don which

26:27

is probably short for emo don she which

26:29

would be like you know gentleman potato or

26:32

not it'll love it gentlemen potatoes is my

26:34

new mascot I can only assume kuma's jacket

26:36

has my name on it I think it's

26:39

a dive no it's a thief maybe or

26:41

maybe you live as in oh I

26:50

guess let everybody get out your number

26:53

23 the DVDs

26:55

because people are definitely going

26:58

to be normal about that if they

27:00

think that the lot of the characters

27:02

have closed with words on them bricks

27:04

this that chopper has explored and

27:06

I mean says deep sea deep

27:09

I thought oh I thought it was deep six but

27:11

I get her maybe yeah maybe six yeah I

27:15

think it is stop is being digested or

27:18

just how you ride boys hanging on the

27:21

yeah Zara's getting some fun and it's not

27:24

a second yeah I think

27:26

Zara was enticed by the

27:29

idea of being peed on

27:31

the question

27:35

the most important question who is doing

27:37

the peeing Steve I

27:40

don't know who's eating

27:42

the least asparagus I

27:45

just want to comment like kuma's like wearing his

27:47

classic orange jacket and probably thinking like yeah

27:50

orange was a bad pick you know they were right the

27:53

anime was right one more thing movie

27:57

got like one two three four five The

28:00

buckets behind him on his jellyfish. Nice

28:02

finish. Oh My. God. That's

28:04

how are you tries to be honest I don't

28:07

want to shut them and my my I have

28:09

like I probably didn't far as like that before

28:11

I will I will say ah it's happened not

28:13

it's not the usual. Where do I also want

28:16

to add the see worst thing for Coombe. I

28:18

think it's a really fun such as one as

28:20

I believe the few animals that the mail is

28:22

the one who carries there are you implying that

28:25

whom I was impressed. Guess

28:27

if I am prison is that

28:29

is, but it's on his biological

28:31

daughter. Anyway,

28:33

jail so we don't have to have that

28:35

image and he's the Empress who stepped up.

28:40

That. I should have what

28:42

Stevens cut make good on response

28:44

of a detail but I really

28:46

don't my debts ah hello sunshine

28:48

I like the I like the

28:50

I like the lighting touches on

28:52

this it's night yeah yeah it's

28:54

reminiscent our it's reminiscent this of

28:56

the really cool Fishman island one

28:58

where they're at like the disco

29:00

ball things and I wouldn't on

29:02

one with moon the orange and

29:04

blue. Yeah. The detail

29:06

on you. Down. Renault.

29:09

Not that one, but also that one on.

29:12

Anything else that we didn't get. the Sarah how

29:14

see that Be progress pics is so that the

29:16

be get a yeah ah could have been next

29:19

time out I do it for me. By.

29:21

The way if if you

29:24

don't want to look at

29:26

the progress videos of odors

29:28

sketches they're usually on Instagram

29:30

twitter on beautifully shirt. They're

29:32

always worth. Of

29:34

a walk in there are not very one arm. And

29:37

at you wanna get into the chapters. Sir.

29:39

Are backs up as a top of

29:41

level phase of mergers mars bird as

29:44

he crashes into the barrier and he

29:46

is not obliterated like a fly on

29:48

a bug zapper. he like recent breaks

29:50

through the Us to fit in the

29:52

air. He lands down near where the

29:54

gym vacancy and he's like. Oh.

29:57

boy he's he's used quite

29:59

stuns by this. He's got an

30:01

evil look in his eye. Uh,

30:05

but Jimbe starts... What

30:07

is that thing? It starts for Prost

30:26

I don't know if that's the... is

30:28

that... what's the vertical cut? I think that's the blood

30:30

trail. I

30:40

was like, oh, it's four sword style now? Okay,

30:42

I guess. Loopy's prediction

30:44

came true. Yeah. He

30:48

lets out... he's still breathing. He lets out a

30:50

mighty... And I'd

30:53

like to pick up a little cat. Yeah,

30:59

but just as he does that, Sanji pops

31:01

up on the comms.

31:04

He says, get him yet, Jimbe. I'll

31:06

do it now. Let's

31:08

go, Zoro. You won the fight. As

31:12

he puts Zoro into a headlock, I

31:14

guess he guards him by the neck there and

31:18

he comes in with some fish plan karate. Sorry

31:21

about this, Rob Lucci. 5000 brick

31:23

chop. And

31:26

he basically kicks off

31:28

a giant dust cloud and Lucci's

31:32

in a blocking stance and

31:34

he transforms back into his human form and

31:36

Jimbe and Zoro have disappeared.

31:38

We hear a flapping. We hear flapping.

31:43

Yeah. I'm sorry, but the way that

31:45

Oda drew it, it looked like he just...

31:47

he was just a Terminator, like just butt

31:49

ass naked. Oh,

31:53

wow. There's a big plumber's crack there. He's

31:55

drawn a big plumber's crack. It's

31:58

like he had to draw the butt crack there. And

32:01

every single listener to the show is saying,

32:03

yes, he did. Roger.

32:05

He's like, he's all sorts of both. Oh,

32:11

but yes. But as

32:14

I, as I also

32:16

said, we kind of did get that airplane

32:18

thing starting. Jim Bay also got to, you

32:20

know, throw something at, at Lucci. So

32:22

let's get the rest of the crew to do that. Yeah.

32:25

Let's get everyone to beat him up. Go

32:28

ahead, Roger. All right. Yeah. So, uh,

32:31

fresh off his win at the Academy Awards for

32:33

best animated feature. We got the Heron from the

32:35

boy in the Heron flying on down, talking to

32:37

Lucci. Say it up. Mahi.

32:39

Excuse me. Sorry. Cipher Paul, Aegis

32:41

Zero, Rob Lucci.

32:44

Where is York? And

32:47

Lucci's looking, you know, obviously stunned seeing

32:49

the giant bird. Obviously,

32:52

to be fair, Lucci is stunned by very

32:54

few things. I feel like he's so... Yeah.

32:57

I mean, he just tanked three slashes from

32:59

Zorro and yet here he is standing. And,

33:02

uh, you got Zorro and Jim Bay running on

33:04

away saying, got to hurry, but what is that

33:06

thing? Is there looking up in the sky? And,

33:09

uh, Lucci being the government dog he is starts

33:11

reporting saying York is still tied up in the

33:13

command room on the fourth floor of building A.

33:16

Currently on the loose are the two who

33:18

just escaped, Roru noa Zorro and Jim Bay,

33:20

first son of the C. Five

33:23

other members of the straw hat crew and

33:25

two Vega punks are, and meanwhile, he huffs

33:27

in between all this too, catching his breath

33:29

because he's still winded from the fight with

33:31

Zorro. I'm just a little

33:33

confused. So there's the black transponder snail there

33:36

as well that he's holding up. Who's

33:38

talking through that? I

33:42

am assuming that's going through the rest of the

33:44

Goro Se. At least that was

33:46

how I was taking it was that he was basically

33:48

reporting this Goro Se was listening to him

33:50

and that it was being spread to the other four. I

33:52

could be wrong though because it looks

33:55

like the wires the wiretapping I

33:57

would guess that's probably how he

33:59

was hearing. all the reports. The

34:05

trail in the bubble is what confused

34:07

me there specifically. But yeah. It's

34:10

Lucci's tit speaking. The

34:14

tit and the harem. Well you know Kenemon can

34:16

fart so clearly

34:18

makes sense. And

34:21

so yeah Lucci still exasperated kind of

34:23

continues to talk and report saying that

34:25

five other members of the

34:28

Straw Hat crew and two Vega punks are preparing to

34:30

escape from the back exit of the Labo phase. There

34:33

are 85 other cypher pull agents

34:35

and four seraphim in the basement

34:37

of the lab. So he

34:40

says Vega Punk's message will resume in

34:42

six minutes. And again

34:45

wheezing through this going through just all

34:47

this information as again. He's

34:49

good at his job I gotta say. Oh

34:52

yeah I mean he's the biz. Yeah

34:54

apparently. I also think he's

34:56

getting kicked at his ass kicked. Super

34:58

funny little detail that I love here too is obviously

35:00

you know you hear the flapping on

35:03

page five and you have Lucci

35:05

obviously reporting all this to the giant bird goro say.

35:08

But you could see in the right corner

35:10

the little flap of Lucci's bird adds

35:12

a little flapping sound instead of the giant

35:14

bird goro say. Oh shit. I think it's

35:16

a cute little touch. So it's hatchery flapping

35:19

and actually it's not the giant bird goro.

35:21

How does he know this is even one

35:23

of the five elders? Like I

35:26

assume that they don't just do or

35:28

maybe the voice you know. He's gotta know.

35:30

Either it's the well if you have a voice. Or the

35:32

hockey maybe it's like the force you know who it

35:35

feels like. Maybe

35:37

I have assumed by this point he

35:40

had known Saturn was obviously already there

35:42

so maybe he just assumed that in

35:44

some worst case scenario the others would

35:46

be summoned and I'm assuming

35:48

like being the top government dog he

35:51

probably has some idea of what

35:53

they look like. Obviously they made a

35:55

big deal during the stuff at the reverie with Sabo

35:57

and with Cobra being like nobody knows what they look

35:59

like. But come on somebody somebody's

36:01

gotta know if anybody knows it's gonna be

36:04

Rob Luchy I don't know he

36:06

looked pretty freaked out when he saw it I

36:09

just freaked out too if he's coming right in front

36:11

of your face after you just lost a fight To

36:13

the second in command of one of the yoke go

36:15

I'm assuming he's scared for his life Maybe

36:17

he has no idea who it is, but he's

36:19

just like I'm gonna tell this bird everything Yeah,

36:22

just before everything You know what sure why not?

36:25

You know a giant mythical bird is in front of

36:27

me just after I got my ass handed to me

36:29

I'm just gonna say everything here What's

36:32

to lose right and And

36:35

so the bird goro say says well done

36:37

and no further questions and right as

36:39

he's about to fly off Lucy says wait wait wait wait wait wait

36:42

My partner is still gravely wounded in the

36:44

command room and we cut to a shot

36:47

of cockoo laying there completely covered in bandages

36:49

and Lucci pleads

36:51

for probably the first time I think we

36:54

rarely ever hear Lucci asked for anything or

36:56

certainly Show any compassion at all

36:58

he pleads and says please Spare

37:01

his life, please and

37:03

without dropping a beat the

37:05

bird goro say looks down at him and says

37:07

that may not be possible One

37:10

does not attempt to step on insects

37:13

It simply happens as

37:15

he flies off and you see the sound

37:18

effect of the hockey Emanating off

37:20

of him as he flies in the other direction I Like

37:25

his Mars by the way has I

37:27

love that Marcus Morris just has a

37:29

Brooklyn accent Like

37:31

an old what do you call that? What what

37:34

era of Jewish comedy from the cat's

37:36

milk? That's a 60th. Yeah, there it is Yeah,

37:39

he's a casko. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

37:41

Goro say live at the Catskills

37:45

Actually, that is the that is the audience

37:47

there Meanwhile

37:53

back to Luffy he's he's excited. I

37:55

can't believe it's been two years. It's good

37:58

to see you Giants again And

38:00

he's bouncing around and

38:03

hanging with Dray and Brogy, who

38:06

are happy to see him as well. And

38:11

Dory says, in you, Strath! I

38:14

almost didn't recognize you! And

38:17

Brogy says, gah-bah-bah-bah-bah! Do

38:20

you know the form of that god

38:22

spoken at Elvath? And

38:25

Luffy is confused about this,

38:28

and Brogy continues, your outfit!

38:30

It pleases us greatly! And

38:36

Luffy, of course, ever oblivious, says, shee-hee-hee! I

38:38

don't know what you mean, but we can

38:40

talk later! Meanwhile,

38:44

Topman, the Feng Shui.

38:47

I didn't even notice the portion of the

38:49

worm is just sitting right next to it.

38:52

It's fun in the foreground. I just noticed

38:54

that. Yeah. Sorry,

38:57

go ahead. So,

39:00

Topman and Saturn

39:03

are both shock-tivist.

39:06

Giants! A bad combination.

39:09

Look at these colossal... Oh, I'm sorry. This is Dray and

39:11

Brogy. Look

39:14

at these colossal beasts. They look like

39:16

they came from Elvath's forests. But

39:19

we don't want to fight them guys. We need

39:21

to run away. We're already

39:23

aware we saw Sanji earlier.

39:26

He said, if you see Luffy, tell him to run around

39:29

the back of the island. And

39:31

we see a little flashback of them

39:34

waving Sanji goodbye, basically

39:36

cutting through some stuff that... Just

39:40

fast-forwarding what we should have seen earlier of

39:43

Sanji telling Dray and Brogy, I'm getting on

39:46

you guys. We'll

39:48

meet up later. And

39:51

just so we know where everybody is now since... I

39:54

like this map a lot. This is fun. Yeah, me

39:56

too. I like the mini-maps. Yeah,

39:59

I like how it's... three-dimensional normally it's the

40:01

top down top down view but

40:04

here we are because you know this the crew has

40:06

been split up for some

40:08

time and new players have entered the game

40:11

board we have

40:13

a a nice rendition of

40:16

egghead here surrounded by naval ships and

40:21

on the southwest end of

40:23

it is the the elbaf

40:25

ship we see that

40:27

nami and usop are in

40:29

the that's the lab of a

40:32

is the fabric of a is right there was

40:34

no labor phase that's what we're purging yes they're

40:36

in the lab of a is with

40:39

the ship during

40:41

brogie are with Luffy on

40:45

the next the next duo

40:47

who are on their way are Sanjian Vega

40:50

punk towards the elbaf ship and Bonnie not

40:52

that yet

40:54

but he's got X's on his eyes X's fries

40:56

oh he's done with his bid out this whole

41:05

time so yeah yeah not a good

41:07

sign and Bonnie and Frankie

41:10

are very near the elbaf ship and

41:14

if anybody had any questions

41:17

as to how did they know that

41:19

the straw hats were there it's

41:21

it's then revealed we

41:25

saw the story in the newspaper it said

41:27

you were surrounded by the Navy and Dorie

41:29

sticks a the horn of rohan in his

41:31

mouth and gives a little bit of

41:33

a toot I

41:36

actually someone brought this up on my livestream earlier today

41:38

and I was thinking about it the

41:40

newspapers in elbaf does big news Morgan's

41:42

like print a giant edition that's a

41:44

very giant they just take their little

41:46

it's yeah they take their little

41:52

mmm let's see where it was like

41:54

where do you find it keep making the holder

41:56

that they have at the library But

42:00

they have the giant trees probably on Elbaf,

42:02

remember the Adam... So

42:05

he gives them the print stuff and it's like microfiche for

42:08

them, they have to put it in there. Yeah, there you

42:10

go. I

42:12

was going to say, yeah, that

42:14

it's microfiche or, I mean, if

42:16

Saul is there and they have

42:19

a new library, then there's definitely microfiche

42:21

or... It's called macrofiche

42:23

for them. I'm

42:25

going to suggest an overhead projector. Yes,

42:27

that's a good idea too. And we're

42:30

making microfiche jokes on the One Piece

42:32

podcast here. Officially, our target audience are

42:34

now boomers. Let's continue.

42:39

But, oh, one other thing, sorry. This map

42:41

looks identical to one I think they gave

42:43

out for one of the movies in

42:46

one of the books. I think it

42:48

was gold. I have to find it, but even with

42:50

the gold and there was like a little game you could play,

42:53

it was very similar looking to this. I really

42:55

like this, but I'll move on because that's not

42:57

very important. On

43:00

the next page you hear a

43:02

bo-woo, which is the

43:04

sound of the horn for

43:07

fellow Jews, the shofar, for

43:10

Vikings, the horn. I don't know

43:12

what the name for Vikings are.

43:15

And you see the other

43:17

giants whose names I'm sure exist, but

43:19

I don't know. Noticing

43:21

the sound. They love the one on the

43:24

left, very happy about it. And

43:26

they say, oh, that's the captain's. They must

43:28

have found the straw hat. Back

43:32

to the ship prepared to withdraw. So they all

43:34

get the signal, they know what's going on here.

43:36

And the giants

43:39

are like, oh, this is easy. All we have to

43:41

do is take them and weave. Don't bother attacking battleships.

43:43

They don't have treasure. True

43:46

pirate fashion here. Let's focus on

43:48

the treasure. And

43:52

one of them, I don't know, and I can't

43:54

do an Alex laugh as much as

43:56

I will try. And the...

44:00

the goons here the uh marine

44:02

goons are just like uh what

44:04

is happening right now and

44:07

we cut back from the

44:09

giants to the mythical beasts

44:11

versus the giants as

44:14

you have this one which one

44:16

is this is this warcury warcury right

44:19

yes yes the evil version of mercury

44:21

uh is here to say warthog for

44:25

hogcury yeah um so

44:28

the person who he

44:31

fights is warthog is

44:33

that how that would work anyway um thank

44:37

you i kind of got a chuckle uh

44:39

an escape signal we can't have that i'll

44:41

sound a warning of my own then and

44:44

a warning not to escape

44:47

um by the way i don't know does

44:49

that really that's a really lame that's

44:54

a really good delivery of that this gives me the

44:56

feeling that they don't leave the house that often so

44:58

like when they do they just have all these punks

45:00

they've been thinking of for like 20 years i

45:03

guess you it's really are better than one luffy

45:08

is just uh

45:11

luffy is just not impressed by this um

45:13

but here comes a gigantic roar

45:16

really cool panel i like this

45:18

one a lot i love this

45:20

one uh reverberating through the

45:22

the city just tearing

45:25

everything apart and uh dorian

45:27

brogie doing everything they can to stay still luffy's

45:30

still uh looking like he doesn't ever care in

45:32

the world because that's how he is and

45:35

this one's also very cool on the

45:37

bottom just you see the kinetic uh

45:39

motion of not just how it's hitting that

45:42

the three of them but also how it

45:44

is hitting the city what happens next jill

45:47

um and then in just this incredible

45:49

panel uh the forest uh hits luffy

45:52

um who proceeds to lose his

45:55

sandals the cuffs on his shorts

45:57

both scars his eyeballs and his

45:59

hat and his little veil.

46:01

Oh, and his little like scarf

46:04

around his belt and the

46:06

wind thing. Oh, yeah. Everything is

46:08

flying back in a stream as

46:11

Brogy just looks alarmed,

46:13

I guess, is putting it lightly. To be

46:16

fair, I think everyone reading was slightly alarmed

46:18

by, oh, not just

46:20

his anatomical parts flying out, but also the ones

46:22

that make no sense. His

46:25

eyes are just googly. Look at that. His

46:28

eyes are one I did not see until

46:30

I think someone in our discord pointed out.

46:32

And what a fun touch that is. Oh,

46:34

I love it. Yeah. Ridiculous

46:37

on. And

46:39

then so creepy. Oh, my God. And

46:42

then the force of the call kind of radiates

46:44

throughout the island into the ships waiting below with

46:47

the Marines going. The island is pulsating again, as

46:51

some of them faint in the background because

46:53

this was imbued with the hockey.

46:57

And meanwhile, Luffy is trying to pull himself together

46:59

and the giant are

47:01

are you all right? Straw hat. Got enough parts

47:04

there. What a funny buddy of body you've got.

47:09

Which also I want to point this out from last

47:11

the last page. Do they just think

47:13

he's cosplaying Nika? Like they're

47:16

like, oh, that's a cool outfit you've got. We

47:18

like that. Maybe.

47:20

I don't know. I wonder. I wonder if that

47:22

is what they think. Yeah. But I don't think

47:24

they would have come here to do this, though,

47:26

if it was just like, oh, Luffy has a

47:28

really nice get up. We should go help them.

47:30

Like like they're like the the neighbors on Halloween

47:32

or something. Like, oh, what a good

47:34

guy. Like,

47:37

good job. Then

47:41

we get, you know, a panel of

47:43

Luffy pulling himself back together. He's

47:46

putting his scars on it. Kind of looks like

47:48

they're like stickers that he's trying to put the

47:50

back on. Yeah. I don't know if the one

47:52

on her eye accidentally on his torso or if

47:54

he still hasn't. No, he's holding it. Yeah, he's

47:56

holding it. Yeah, it looks like I thought

47:58

that was I thought. There was a fishbone

48:00

at first because that's what it looks like you know the

48:02

one Sure, that's his eye

48:04

scar. Yeah, I know yeah, it's

48:07

so funny cuz I wonder like obviously I don't think

48:09

this is gonna end up happening But it would have

48:11

been so funny if like as a play on when

48:14

you get the stickers and a little one-piece ship model

48:16

kits How sometimes when you lay them out? There's accidentally

48:18

the bubble underneath and it just kind of like fixed

48:20

out if when he puts his scar back on he's

48:22

just got like a weird bubble or Like

48:28

Wrong eye yeah, right If

48:34

yeah, if you ever make some mistake with the eye Put

48:38

it there I'll

48:41

say someone with the two-year-old stickers very easily

48:43

become unstuck does not take much Yeah,

48:46

Joe go ahead So

48:48

yeah, as Lucy is taking care of that The

48:52

this guy can't remember his name. Oh,

48:55

no, this is Lucy saying it a color of the

48:57

Supreme King roar Who is that guy and

48:59

then some bossy guy in the world government? You

49:02

know as you do so that so that

49:04

was Dorian Brogy saying those two things. Yeah, and

49:06

then Lucy saying the third, okay And

49:10

then He

49:13

just like launches himself at them

49:16

as they shout whoa and then The

49:19

Giants prepare themselves for this giant

49:21

pig And they

49:23

block his suddenly sword

49:26

tusks with a Valin Sun shield

49:29

It's uh, yeah, doesn't have a sunglasses

49:31

that old people wear it Sun shields. Yeah

49:35

Yes, Valin is the that is

49:37

a Norse mythology thing is literally

49:40

like a shield that blocks

49:42

the Sun or something like that Basically

49:45

instead of saying chai tea you could just say

49:47

chai because it's literally just to you instead of

49:49

saying it's fallen You could say just Sun shield.

49:52

You don't need to yield Sun shield Yeah,

49:55

well, so the the interesting thing here

49:57

is that uh, so so what I

49:59

did is And he does this

50:01

a lot with stuff that's in other,

50:03

like non-English or just

50:05

non-Japanese in general languages, is

50:08

like all they say is,

50:10

"'Sfallen.'" So like when you see this animated

50:12

in the anime, you're just gonna hear them

50:14

say, "'Sfallen.'" But the kanji is, "'Sun

50:17

Shield.'" And that was also the title

50:20

of the chapter. And

50:23

so I was like, "'Okay, well, the title

50:25

of the chapter isn't Sfallen. It's literally just

50:27

like Sun Shield.'" So I was

50:29

like, "'Okay, well, I'll just put them both in

50:33

the name of the attack so that you

50:36

get the sound, the

50:38

Norse name and the definition at the

50:40

same time." And

50:43

then I can reuse that term

50:45

for the chapter title because if

50:47

I either just called it Sfallen or just

50:49

called it Sun Shield and then there was

50:51

no Sun Shield in this

50:53

scene, then people would be like, how does

50:55

that, what's the connection between these things? Sure.

50:58

There's also, just doing

51:00

my terse research on Wikipedia,

51:03

there's some, I'm

51:05

not reading them now, but there's

51:07

Norse poems and such about the

51:09

mythology behind Sfallen that

51:12

may or may not be interesting. I haven't read it

51:15

yet, but these things end

51:17

up, I think, especially with Norse

51:19

mythology and coming up with Elbaf,

51:21

I think are gonna increase in

51:23

importance. Go

51:25

ahead. That was going

51:28

chill. So Alex. Yes.

51:33

Yeah, Topman or Warkery, I guess,

51:36

is being held back by the Giants. And

51:40

he says, we have much

51:42

to settle with your kind. Do you

51:44

even know who that is? And

51:47

they say, of course we do. He's

51:49

a friend. Gah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah,

51:51

bah. Gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee,

51:53

gee. And they say, skilja split.

51:56

And I just looked that

51:58

up. I think it just means. It's Icelandic to break

52:01

away. Yeah. Yeah.

52:03

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And that's what

52:06

the kanji that he used also was like

52:09

to separate or to break into or something

52:11

like that. It's Old Norse. Come on, sir.

52:13

It's Old Norse. In Old Norse, it literally

52:15

means those two things. So there you go.

52:19

And Ed knocks back Warkiri,

52:21

who with Aesodum gets

52:23

knocked into some buildings. And

52:27

we see Saturn huff

52:30

up some air. And he goes, and

52:32

you must be crushed before you call him something else,

52:34

eradicated from the historical record.

52:37

And he's a good Saturn. I like

52:40

that. Thank you. And he unleashes a

52:42

machine gun flurry of poison. Well,

52:46

that's what Loopy says. Lots of Loopy says.

52:50

He unleashes a flurry of question

52:53

mark bullets. And

52:55

Loopy shouts out, watch out!

52:58

That's going to be poison. And

53:01

he takes a gigantic hand, rips a palm

53:03

tree out of the ground, and starts, and

53:06

with a nah, nah, nah. It

53:09

starts going to town on it like

53:11

a corn on the cob. It's

53:14

a human leave. Yeah. It's

53:18

a human leave. What

53:20

could he possibly be making?

53:24

Steve, what could he be doing? Well,

53:27

we all know it's March Madness season, so he made

53:29

a baseball bat. We should check on my notes here.

53:34

Would you call it a? Well, it's spring training

53:36

season, so naturally he made a baseball bat. There

53:38

it is. Would you call it a

53:40

Wonderbat? It's

53:43

those big fungos. Is that like the hollow one

53:46

that makes the dong sound? No, that's a Whiffle

53:48

Ball bat. Wonderbat is the bat that Homer made

53:50

out of a bigger bat. Oh,

53:52

yeah, that's right. See,

53:57

it was destroyed so quickly. I forgot about the

53:59

Wonderbat. Um,

54:04

uh, no, he, uh, because,

54:07

uh, uh, gear

54:09

fifth powers are just insane cartoon

54:11

powers. He, uh, somehow

54:13

just, uh, materialized a paintbrush

54:15

with a paint bucket and

54:19

painted up, uh, and put his, uh,

54:21

Luffy's number on there. And,

54:23

uh, and then he materializes also a baseball

54:25

helmet because safety first. Don't

54:29

want to get beamed in the head. That would

54:32

be bad. And he, yeah, this is like one

54:34

of those, like, giant, like, hollow bats that used

54:36

to make the big dong

54:38

sound. Whistleball. Uh, n-

54:40

yeah, but not the whistleball bat. Oh, you mean

54:42

like the interplayable ones? No, no,

54:45

they were like, uh, they were like glow in

54:47

the dark yellow, uh, and

54:49

they were like hollow on the eye. Oh,

54:51

I know what you're talking about. Luminescent yellow

54:53

or green. Yeah. Well,

54:56

I was gonna say, if it's, I

54:58

mean- It made the one piece sound

55:00

dong. Yeah, it did. I

55:02

was gonna say, like, a bat can just be

55:04

wood-colored. Like, the one thing you

55:06

don't have to color, I feel like, is

55:08

a baseball bat, but, uh, Luffy

55:10

is, uh, a pet shopster. You could also just

55:13

use his hockey to turn him black. That's

55:15

true. I thought about that. He's been hanging around, he's

55:17

been hanging around Mihawk too much. Mihawk obviously has been

55:20

painting his blade black all these years, and so- When

55:22

does he hang out with Mihawk? Just,

55:24

you know, live action just happened. They've been on set,

55:26

they were chilling in Cape Town. Mihawk

55:28

said, I'll show you the ropes, and then, you know- To be fair,

55:30

he left my ass off. In a

55:33

year, this purple's colored- this, this, this bat's

55:35

colored like purple. I mean, I mean- Got

55:38

my whole purple bat here. I'm not,

55:40

I'm not surprised to hear that Mihawk dies it. He's, uh,

55:42

he's getting old. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't

55:45

he like 38? Or something terrible? Uh,

55:49

practically 10. I'm

55:52

four years from there, man. Don't remind me, alright? Um,

55:56

43. Uh, and Lufio

55:58

winds back and- And

56:02

you want to see him hit a few dingers? He hits

56:04

all these... Dingers! Yeah,

56:06

he... I

56:10

forget, these big balls

56:12

of poison. He just hits them

56:14

all back and the helmet

56:16

is flying off his head as he leans back

56:18

and has a big laugh and he says, how

56:20

do you like the taste of your own poison?

56:27

I can only assume the elders are shocked here. It's

56:30

hard to tell. Great, be fair. It's Saturn these

56:32

days. I don't know, Saturn's

56:34

got like the eyes of a macaw,

56:36

I have no idea what he's thinking.

56:39

It's like an owl. You know, they always have

56:42

the same look. And

56:45

then, da-doom,

56:48

three giant mushroom clouds and

56:51

probably the funniest moment of the chapter

56:53

and the eyes popped out, so it's

56:55

like, what? That exploded! So

56:58

that was kind of funny. Someone

57:01

clearly skipped Euthop's fight in Alabasta and it

57:03

shows, Luffy. And

57:08

then we see Dorian Brogy

57:10

here. Well, someone calls out to them and says,

57:12

like, captains, the flames are going to block off

57:14

the forest. And Dorian

57:17

here says, let's get moving.

57:19

And Brogy says, you bloomed

57:21

a bitch! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And

57:25

Luffy gets serious here. He says, let's

57:27

hurry. This won't matter. And

57:29

then he turns back and says, it's like

57:31

the meme with the guy pointing at

57:34

like the desert tornadoes. He's

57:37

like, they're immortal! And

57:39

we see them rising from the

57:41

flames, shrouded in

57:43

darkness there. Or maybe they were just very

57:46

badly burnt. I'm very

57:48

badly burnt. The worm is

57:50

back here after being pranked in the

57:52

world. He's a twain, thrice. He's

57:56

like, stumpier now. Yeah,

57:59

I wonder. I want that. Or

58:02

three of them, I think. You've got to

58:04

cut three, you've got to cut, yeah, twice. Therefore

58:07

making three verbs. Anyway, Stephen.

58:10

Yeah, so now we get a big

58:12

shot of Dory and Brogy. They're still

58:14

laughing it up. They're not particularly worried

58:16

here. And

58:19

Dory's going, keep running! How

58:21

can they be immortal? And Libby says, I

58:23

don't know, but they keep coming back no matter what you do.

58:26

And, you know, Brogy says,

58:28

I've never heard of any such power or

58:30

race. Best to run then. Gah,

58:33

bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. So

58:35

they are scampering off now. And

58:38

then Nami over by the

58:40

ship. And

58:42

I'm not sure, I'm guessing that everybody

58:45

in the background is like, are they pushing the

58:47

ship to like straighten it out or something? Yeah,

58:49

I was looking at that panel for a while

58:51

because it is hard to determine. Who's the one

58:53

all the way on the left? I

58:56

don't even, you see Usopp there? They also

58:58

look way too big in comparison to the ship. I

59:01

think someone's blowing a whistle to be like,

59:03

Upo? Yes, Usopp

59:05

is directing the team

59:07

to push, I guess.

59:09

Good job there, Usopp.

59:11

Yeah, so Nami is

59:14

exhorting Jimbe and Zoro to hurry up. And

59:17

Jimbe is saying, we're on our way! And

59:20

then we see him and he's saying, I

59:23

think it's faster just to run, which I'm

59:25

guessing is in comparison to using the

59:27

Dom shoes maybe. That's what he's been

59:29

doing. Yeah, they've been flying. Zoro

59:31

was on his back earlier in the chapter,

59:33

like just looking back at the craziness going

59:35

on. He can't let go of Zoro. If

59:37

he does, he'll be lost. We'll be here

59:39

for another 30 chapters. Very true. I

59:43

wonder if his lostness could like,

59:45

is contagious. And Jimbe might just

59:47

accidentally get lost just because Zoro's

59:49

there and that would be bad. Anyway,

59:52

sorry. Yeah, he's bezooming off,

59:54

so apparently Jimbe has the

59:57

Landshark speed. It's very impressive.

1:00:01

On his way to deliver a candy gram? Exactly.

1:00:05

Yeah, he's got the Zorogram on his back.

1:00:07

And meanwhile, the

1:00:10

group that we saw previously closest to the

1:00:12

ship, Bonnie

1:00:15

here, is pointing

1:00:17

out, look in front of the ship. And

1:00:19

yes, there is the ship right there.

1:00:21

And then we get three

1:00:23

of the Vice Admirals, which

1:00:25

was Red King, and

1:00:29

then Guillotine was the

1:00:31

Pinscherhead guy. Oh,

1:00:36

and the Otterman. He demanded to

1:00:38

be taken seriously. Oshawott, right?

1:00:40

Was Pompsky the one with the...?

1:00:43

Pompsky, yeah. Yeah, he was the one with

1:00:45

the Otterman. Otterman, Otterman. Pompsky Otterman.

1:00:49

Full name here, come on, let's... And

1:00:52

Red King here says, You're not

1:00:54

getting on that boat, jewelry Bonnie. So

1:00:57

then, cracking the knuckles, so they are ready

1:01:00

to rumble there. I was

1:01:02

really hoping Sanji one-shot at these two

1:01:04

dudes, but... Nope. He's got

1:01:06

a dead slash and or dying old man. That

1:01:11

would make it even better. I don't know, I

1:01:13

just wish he would stretch out Red King's neck

1:01:15

like a slinky or something. Oh, man.

1:01:18

Ooh. I'm farther in.

1:01:20

Oh, he's going to wanze that

1:01:22

guy. Oh, wow. Well,

1:01:24

he's running and huffing and puffing.

1:01:28

And meanwhile, we see that

1:01:31

the Itzumare bird, which is Marcus

1:01:33

Mars. Yes,

1:01:35

Marcus Bird. The bird, yeah. And

1:01:38

he has found York. And

1:01:40

yes, this is the memeable panel of

1:01:43

the chapter where he just... Apologize for

1:01:45

that. ...explodes through the wall

1:01:47

and just says, Where's the room on the monitor? Which

1:01:50

is... It's kind of odd. Yeah, go

1:01:52

ahead. It's a very odd question

1:01:54

to ask. I think what he's implying is where

1:01:56

is the place that Vega- punk

1:02:00

is talking on recording recording yeah yeah

1:02:02

it just sounds like such a mundane

1:02:04

thing to bust through the wall thing

1:02:07

which is why I found this panel

1:02:09

so funny yeah giant pareodactyl looking mythical

1:02:11

creature coming where could I

1:02:13

use the restroom or something yeah

1:02:15

yeah he's kind of doing like the the

1:02:17

Nick Cage and the wicker man thing like

1:02:20

where's everyone the monitor where's everyone a monitor

1:02:22

just like screaming in his face yeah

1:02:26

that's my joke and I kill you and York did you put

1:02:28

your name in the gop of the

1:02:41

fire yes

1:02:43

he's asking he asked calmly and and

1:02:46

York is of course you know the

1:02:48

rational response goes ah monster and of

1:02:52

course she has no idea that these these

1:02:55

are the elders and she's

1:02:58

just like it talked who are you go away

1:03:00

that is such

1:03:03

that is a I feel that

1:03:05

reaction good good for York for

1:03:07

having a real reaction to yeah

1:03:09

terrifying situation and

1:03:11

and then we are back on

1:03:13

one of the navy ships which

1:03:15

we do recognize from context here

1:03:17

because some soldier is

1:03:19

saying Kizaru show us your wounds let us help

1:03:22

you so this is where Kizaru

1:03:24

got knocked knocked

1:03:27

out onto the the deck of the ship here

1:03:30

and then Kizaru has this kind of

1:03:32

enigmatic am I wounded yes deeply

1:03:34

wounded which

1:03:37

tells us you know yeah it's he's

1:03:39

hurt but no this is he's he's hurt on the

1:03:41

inside here he is he is

1:03:44

feeling the toll of what is happening

1:03:47

to his his friend and everything else

1:03:50

and the the the

1:03:53

Marines are just trying to like they're thinking very

1:03:55

practically okay well we should act fast then and

1:03:58

he says just let me rest But

1:04:01

at this moment there is an urgent report coming

1:04:05

over the comm from one of the other

1:04:07

ships around the island. Something

1:04:09

far larger than even the giant has appeared

1:04:11

on the island, reporting from the northwest coast

1:04:14

of Egghead. And we see a giant

1:04:17

one-horned silhouette creaking

1:04:20

and cracking as it

1:04:22

stands and looms over everything

1:04:25

else amidst the fire on the island.

1:04:28

And they're saying it's unaffected by the flames. The

1:04:31

gargantuan creature is standing in the

1:04:33

flames and groaning about something. And

1:04:36

we get this kind of, you know, it's

1:04:38

kind of hard to say because they say it's groaning

1:04:40

so it's clearly making some kind of audible

1:04:43

noise. But the text... It's

1:04:46

annoying about it. But

1:04:50

the text box here is the kind that is

1:04:52

reserved for like, you know, mental

1:04:54

or otherwise sort of unspoken

1:04:56

words. But

1:04:59

it is saying, a very familiar refrain, it

1:05:01

is saying, sorry, joy, boy. That

1:05:05

was a good... Pray for

1:05:08

mojo. Yeah. I

1:05:10

mean, it is very much in a

1:05:12

kind of robotic... I guess the letter

1:05:15

did not use like

1:05:17

a more robotic tone, but it's like it's presented

1:05:19

in Katakana so it's sort of like very robot-like.

1:05:24

Yeah. Words we have heard before

1:05:26

from other ancient figures. Well

1:05:29

no, so Joy Boy

1:05:31

apologized to Poseidon, right?

1:05:34

That's in the Panaglyph. Well there was

1:05:36

also... It was in the anime this

1:05:38

week that 200 years ago was when

1:05:40

the robot attacked Mary Joa and that

1:05:42

was the year that Fishman Island joined

1:05:44

the reverie and went up to Mary

1:05:47

Joa. Right. And

1:05:49

then there was also... I forget what's Zanesha.

1:05:51

Zanesha, yeah. He

1:05:54

apologized to Joy Boy. That was so... He did

1:05:56

a crime, right? The implication is that there was

1:05:58

a Joy Boy 200 years ago. years ago

1:06:00

and he was too soon. Too

1:06:03

soon for the mermaid princess

1:06:05

and too soon for the robot who

1:06:07

attacked Mary Joa. Oh yeah. I'm

1:06:09

so worried about Shira Hoshi all the time, guys. Every

1:06:12

chapter, man. Is she okay? How

1:06:14

do you get through? How do you get through? I don't even- Edge

1:06:17

of my seat. Yeah. For how many

1:06:19

years? Yeah, you gotta keep your eye on her

1:06:21

or the hooded enemies like pick her up and

1:06:23

take her away. He's right.

1:06:25

He's right. So that'll do

1:06:27

it. We'll be

1:06:30

back with another chapter on April 21st

1:06:32

in the United

1:06:35

States, I believe. Blaze it. Blaze it.

1:06:37

Plus one. Plus one. Maybe

1:06:41

it was a special treat. It'll be early. I

1:06:45

don't think so. Roger, your thoughts

1:06:47

on the chapter? Yeah. I mean,

1:06:49

I really enjoyed this one. I feel like if you're

1:06:52

gonna have a chapter right before a three week break,

1:06:54

this is a good one to end it with. I

1:06:56

love all this stuff with the robot. I think one

1:06:59

big thing that I guess I didn't

1:07:01

realize before, when we first saw the

1:07:03

robot sitting down and Luffy activated it

1:07:05

and the eyes lit up initially, I

1:07:07

didn't realize how big it was. I

1:07:10

didn't realize the actual scale of the robot.

1:07:12

I know we saw bits and pieces,

1:07:14

but actually seeing it here, walking around, definitely

1:07:17

reminded me of the stuff with Zunisha and

1:07:19

is making me think, especially now that

1:07:21

we're going to Elbeth, it's just

1:07:24

making me question a lot of things like why

1:07:26

is Elbeth happening now? There's obviously

1:07:28

story reasons for Oda to have waited so

1:07:30

long to bring us here. And

1:07:33

so I find it interesting that everything

1:07:35

that we've seen in relation to Joy

1:07:37

Boy is massive. You've got the hats

1:07:39

that was in the freezer in Mari

1:07:42

Joa with Emu that's massive. You've got

1:07:44

this robot here. You've

1:07:46

got Zunisha. You've got even the stuff with

1:07:49

the Giants, obviously referring to the Sun God

1:07:51

and praying for the Sun God Nika. And

1:07:53

then obviously, it's

1:07:55

a giant mermaid. Exactly. So

1:07:58

everything related to him is... massive

1:08:00

and so it does sort of

1:08:03

like lead me to assume that

1:08:05

Nika was also massive,

1:08:07

was also a giant potentially,

1:08:10

like the original Nika, right? Obviously you brought

1:08:13

up the thing earlier of the idea that

1:08:16

a giant's laughing at Luffy being like why

1:08:18

are you dressed like that? Are you cosplaying

1:08:20

him or something? But I do wonder if

1:08:22

it is almost something like that, right? That

1:08:24

you know again Luffy is not literally Nika,

1:08:26

right? Luffy has the Nika fruit and

1:08:29

we know that devil fruits have the souls

1:08:31

within them and stuff now but like I

1:08:34

do almost wonder if the original Nika

1:08:36

was actually this massive figure and that

1:08:38

everybody related to him was just as

1:08:40

huge and I'm dying to find out

1:08:42

more information about that and I do

1:08:44

think like the closer we get

1:08:46

to Elbaf and the more we're hearing about Elbaf

1:08:49

and the idea of the Sun God and the

1:08:51

more sleeping him like I think we're gonna get

1:08:53

to that information sooner rather than

1:08:55

later plus we're gonna find out the information from

1:08:57

Vega Punk really soon too so I feel like

1:08:59

we are on the cusp of a lot of

1:09:02

really interesting lore and also

1:09:04

like I wasn't here last week but I just got to

1:09:06

say like two chapters prior when

1:09:08

we were about to do the ten minute

1:09:10

thing again I lost it on my livestream

1:09:12

I was like really upset I was not

1:09:15

happy with that I'm like we're really doing

1:09:17

this again and I think that was because

1:09:19

I didn't necessarily believe that we would actually

1:09:21

be getting all the goro say that they were

1:09:23

actually gonna be showing up here in egghead I

1:09:26

assumed maybe the summoning circle that Saturn

1:09:28

was doing was going to be something

1:09:30

else so actually seeing them like

1:09:32

fight in the previous chapter and now

1:09:35

seeing them here again as well like

1:09:37

showing what a big threat they are

1:09:39

showing that they're presumably immortal they've got

1:09:42

all these amazing powers you've got the

1:09:44

the Pumbaa looking one just like crying

1:09:46

out this giant conquerors hockey scream that's

1:09:48

blowing away stuff like even

1:09:51

looking at that panel on page I think it's

1:09:53

page 12 right where we get the shot of

1:09:55

Luffy getting all of his scars blown off like

1:09:57

they're stickers you get that

1:09:59

amazing shot of all of the hockey resonating

1:10:02

and the ships waving on the

1:10:04

sea and all the palm trees almost being

1:10:06

sucked in as he's making this giant roar.

1:10:09

Luffy as we've seen throughout the

1:10:11

course of multiple other story arcs,

1:10:13

he learns his power-ups a

1:10:16

lot of the time through watching other

1:10:18

characters do things. Whether it's katakuri with

1:10:20

observation hockey or the stuff with Ryo

1:10:22

in Wano country with the advanced armament.

1:10:25

And now I almost feel like I

1:10:27

can see a situation in the future in

1:10:30

which Luffy wants to scare a lot of people

1:10:32

or really make a big impact and

1:10:35

utilizing this cry attack for himself. Maybe

1:10:37

like crafting a giant megaphone or something

1:10:40

with gear 5 powers and screaming into

1:10:42

it and doing a similar thing. I

1:10:45

do feel like that, if you

1:10:47

can call it an attack, I would call it an

1:10:49

attack. That attack I think is potentially leading us to

1:10:51

something that Luffy will do in the future too. As

1:10:54

a war cry or something like that. Overall

1:10:56

I just think awesome chapter, really

1:10:59

good art this week, great

1:11:01

little funny moments with the meme-able stuff with

1:11:03

the Heron, Gorosei

1:11:06

and props to Lushi

1:11:08

for still standing. Unbelievable there. I

1:11:12

know what they say, monkey see, monkey do. There

1:11:14

you go. That's right. There you

1:11:16

go. There it is. Steven,

1:11:18

your thoughts? Yeah,

1:11:21

I agree. I

1:11:23

totally agree with what Roger said at

1:11:25

the start there about the size of

1:11:28

the giant. I think it is something

1:11:30

that is kind of

1:11:32

inevitable with the sort

1:11:34

of freeform way that Oda tends

1:11:36

to draw stuff. There are some

1:11:39

manga artists who are extremely clinical

1:11:41

with their perspectives and their size

1:11:45

comparisons and things like that. And Oda is

1:11:47

very much by feel and

1:11:49

so it is something that I think

1:11:51

he Does struggle

1:11:53

with sometimes is like depicting

1:11:56

the relative sizes of things.

1:12:00

It kind of cool to get em a

1:12:02

slightly better view of. You know it's not

1:12:04

a very big panel that's a slightly better

1:12:06

view of the scale of this some the

1:12:08

st robot. I hope we get to see

1:12:10

more of that when we we come back.

1:12:13

Because obviously it's a very cool element

1:12:15

that we've been waiting to see. Can

1:12:17

have a come into action in is

1:12:19

a very exciting way to end the

1:12:22

chapter. Ah I'm yeah. I think this

1:12:24

is like a it. It's a good

1:12:26

a. Follow. Up to last

1:12:28

week's chapter like it's felt like

1:12:30

it was very much of a

1:12:32

cut from the same cloth. He

1:12:34

noticed a lot of intense action,

1:12:37

some some good. Interactions

1:12:39

and you know, impressive moments

1:12:41

and stuff. I do that

1:12:43

say I really, I was

1:12:46

impressed by Alludes. He's. Like

1:12:50

I guess performance site aids And you know it's not

1:12:52

like it's a. A a

1:12:54

a sports game or something like that

1:12:56

but I'm running out. He. yeah

1:12:59

rock ago i he did day he

1:13:01

he he he kind of did the

1:13:03

nothing happened as he is a little

1:13:06

bit as oros. I

1:13:08

stuff with the withstanding the the

1:13:10

blows and everything and even though

1:13:13

he did lose it you know

1:13:15

it here he looks pretty good

1:13:17

while doing it and then to

1:13:19

are immediately follow it out by

1:13:21

like showing showing off his his

1:13:24

professionalism and a giving you very

1:13:26

precise sit rep to i to

1:13:28

markets. Mars and and and also you

1:13:30

know, ask for a favor for his

1:13:33

arm his long time I you know,

1:13:35

work partner in Kaku. Ah mean it.

1:13:37

It showed well for him that not

1:13:39

that I'm I'm saying that I like

1:13:42

Lucci or anything, but I think he

1:13:44

came off looking much better at the

1:13:46

end of the chapter than he did

1:13:48

that the previous couple. On

1:13:51

it is kind of funny. like everybody

1:13:53

thought we were they there was a.

1:13:55

Better. Than zero chance that been. Chapter

1:13:58

Eleven Eleven You know, the. The

1:14:00

Total Snake Eyes chapter That Zora

1:14:02

was gonna do something crazy and

1:14:04

insane and amazing and then it

1:14:06

turned out like all he did

1:14:08

was get. A

1:14:10

get interviewed by Jim Bay and

1:14:13

tracks around after. I wonder if

1:14:15

I wonder if up. Like.

1:14:17

Prepped for his are as big attack to

1:14:20

be this chapter any just nested. I'm here

1:14:22

as many that away from them as I

1:14:24

really. I remember him for a thousand I

1:14:26

think like he didn't realize that was even

1:14:28

coming up when it was like I don't

1:14:31

really and Cps quite as much attention as

1:14:33

we all think of those know. I think

1:14:35

a lot of people with him say like

1:14:37

notice could do some big because this happened

1:14:39

once fifteen years ago. Now yeah, where it?

1:14:41

Where do? Who has a knows Yes, I

1:14:44

mean a thousand and I think the editors

1:14:46

like oh to have that. Posted know it

1:14:48

up his desk? Yeah I remember. I

1:14:51

think there's a lot of things as he said

1:14:53

he has to figure out over the next three

1:14:56

weeks so maybe I'll have those are the future

1:14:58

for. And. I just

1:15:00

overall i that really satisfying chapter

1:15:02

and it was a big it's

1:15:04

a it was seventeen pages of

1:15:06

manga. Of story maga you know

1:15:08

know without the cover page and then a

1:15:10

two page color spread. So he really gave

1:15:13

us a lot to a to to on

1:15:15

before the break which was is nice. It

1:15:17

felt like a very big meaty chapter and

1:15:19

had a lot of a lot of fun

1:15:21

stuff in it. Agreed.

1:15:25

Ah, I'm Jill. Yeah.

1:15:27

I mean. This. Is one of

1:15:30

those chapters where you can have to

1:15:32

stop and think the like my god

1:15:34

look where we've com like fitness. I

1:15:36

had this point where it were escaping

1:15:38

a vague a pug possibly dead body

1:15:40

while the five elders of turn to

1:15:42

demons and are chasing Loopy who hanging

1:15:44

out with a few giants from little

1:15:46

garden like while Robert she's kind of

1:15:48

stamps or here with overnight or that's

1:15:50

assessed by we buy we've released from

1:15:53

far here in one piece. Sleep it

1:15:55

off Arc reef com filthy. Testable

1:15:58

beverages. honestly it's Like, or in the

1:16:00

past couple chapters, I should say. I mean, honestly,

1:16:02

like, the Kuma stuff would have been enough for

1:16:05

me. And yet everything since then,

1:16:07

with all this stuff with the Goros say

1:16:09

and some of these fights, Luffy versus Kizaru,

1:16:11

it's like, we've gotten so much. Yeah,

1:16:15

I, I do like seeing Kizaru take

1:16:17

constant L's. I think that's incredible. Um,

1:16:20

I just think he's a really funny character to beat up.

1:16:23

Um, especially cause he hasn't figured out his morals yet.

1:16:25

So it's great. Um, but

1:16:27

yeah, this was, this was so

1:16:29

much fun. Um, just loved every

1:16:31

single panel of Luffy and Gear 5. Um,

1:16:34

he, he killed it this week, um,

1:16:36

with the, with the baseball bat, um, and

1:16:38

his, his parts flying everywhere. Um,

1:16:41

possibly a reference to the Mr. Potato

1:16:43

head. See, um,

1:16:45

I, I, I'm,

1:16:47

you know, I think any other day is going to go

1:16:49

wild. Hittleman

1:16:51

Potato. Um,

1:16:54

Potato, COVID and Mr. Peanut. Didn't

1:16:58

they kill off Mr. Peanut? They did. And then

1:17:00

he became baby baby nut and I was horrified during

1:17:02

all this stuff. And then COVID happened. So it was

1:17:04

the perfect time to be like, you know what, why

1:17:06

don't we just forget all this stuff. He

1:17:09

grew up again. I can't believe

1:17:11

that they said baby nut on television. I was so fucking pissed. Yeah,

1:17:16

that's where I draw the line. Maybe not sounds like

1:17:18

a one piece character. You know what? What

1:17:21

a big mom's kiss. From

1:17:25

nuts Island. Yeah. Of course. Of course.

1:17:28

Charlotte baby nut. I

1:17:33

hate all of this. Um,

1:17:37

but yeah, what it's just wild, you know, um,

1:17:40

where we are right now in this series, there was

1:17:42

so much action here. It was great. Um,

1:17:44

and okay, this is one thing

1:17:46

that I thought of a lot. It's interesting how

1:17:49

they keep bringing up that they're immortal, which is

1:17:51

true, but like sometimes they'd be like, Oh, they

1:17:53

keep healing or something like that, but

1:17:55

it always still makes me think of law, um, and

1:17:57

the fruit. Yeah. It's it's it's. You

1:18:00

know worrying is what it is So

1:18:04

I'm I think I think

1:18:06

they're pointing more and more towards possibly

1:18:08

the op-op fruit was used on the

1:18:10

on the on the elders

1:18:16

Anything else Joe I'm so excited

1:18:18

for this fucking robot you could do it Robon. Okay

1:18:21

For open. Okay. Yeah, he was in the enemy this week.

1:18:23

That's just I'm gonna call him till we know his name

1:18:26

Robon. Okay, great. Yeah, oh my god

1:18:29

Not quite we know skate but you know, I

1:18:32

always reenovs gate to this day I think about

1:18:34

it a week Yeah, I'm

1:18:36

thinking about a tattoo. I'm not gonna lie.

1:18:38

Well, look ever since ever since we

1:18:40

found out Condros

1:18:43

tridentity, I'm sorry. You know skis

1:18:45

been canceled Made

1:18:50

of kaido What

1:18:52

did you just say? Hold

1:18:55

on both of you. What did you put? I

1:18:57

said that you know, skis now is your nation's butt

1:18:59

tattoo. Oh, I thought you said butt catch

1:19:03

That's also true Alex your

1:19:06

thoughts you hang one of those up in your

1:19:08

room. Yeah, it catches

1:19:10

dreams of farts and poop Anyway,

1:19:14

yeah great chapter loved it I

1:19:19

really I really love seeing these elders in

1:19:21

action I think it's really

1:19:23

interesting that That

1:19:27

the Giants have another name for Nika I think

1:19:29

great This way. Yeah, do

1:19:32

you know that the form do you know

1:19:34

the form of that God's spoken? Oh spoken

1:19:36

of an elb F? Never mind. No III

1:19:38

read it. I got serious, but wrong. Oh Yeah,

1:19:41

I'll I'll see that to you then and I'll talk

1:19:43

about other stuff like Like

1:19:46

what the robot is grumbling, which I

1:19:48

think is Lobo bring back Sheriff Lobo

1:19:53

Probably yeah,

1:19:56

the baseball bat gimmick

1:19:58

is my favorite thing ever I'm

1:20:01

so freaking happy. I

1:20:03

love this comic so much.

1:20:07

What a crazy and great thing. Yeah,

1:20:11

I bet the Pyro Scalers are going to be super

1:20:13

normal about the Zoruluchi stuff this week. What did I

1:20:15

not? Super normal. Yeah,

1:20:19

I mean, yeah. I just think it's really

1:20:21

funny because this is what happens when you're

1:20:23

week to week and you decide to make

1:20:25

blanket statements about shit that

1:20:28

could change at the drop of a hat. It's just, I

1:20:30

don't know, it's hilarious to me and I'm

1:20:32

laughing all the way to the bank about

1:20:35

it. So I'm going to get paid for

1:20:38

it. It can all be Odin's ghost. That's

1:20:40

right. I think Dan posted

1:20:42

that meme with Marcus Mars busting

1:20:44

through saying, Bounties are just power

1:20:46

levels for one-piece characters, and that's

1:20:48

basically what we'll have to deal with. That's

1:20:52

what people think, but it's not true. And

1:20:54

do you know why I think this

1:20:56

Foxy? Foxy's bounty was like, you know,

1:21:00

it was really freaking powerful. It

1:21:02

wasn't proportional to his strength at all. He

1:21:05

would definitely beat Arlong, though, no doubt about it. He beat

1:21:07

all these people. He'd have Arlong's

1:21:09

Hulk right by the end of that. His

1:21:11

love junk. His

1:21:15

love fellows. His

1:21:18

love fellows, yeah. Beaten by junk. I

1:21:23

really don't have very much to say about the chapter. I thought it

1:21:25

was dope. And

1:21:30

I love that every single time I forget about the

1:21:32

giant, I'm reminded about the giant.

1:21:35

And I wonder what's going to happen with

1:21:37

Kizaro. I'm waiting on that face turn. He's

1:21:39

just been making that same pose. Sad

1:21:45

face. Oh, the pain.

1:21:48

Yeah, yeah. Anyway,

1:21:50

thumbs down is good. Good chapter. I loved it.

1:21:53

Can't wait for another three weeks without a chapter.

1:21:56

Yeah, I can't wait for that. It's going to suck. Steve

1:21:59

Urquell. What did you think? Yeah,

1:22:02

it's gonna suck. Yeah,

1:22:05

my opinion is kind of similar with Alex's.

1:22:07

I wasn't sure going into this is like,

1:22:10

are we gonna get like a huge bombshell

1:22:13

right before this break? But

1:22:16

like, knowing the past, I'm

1:22:18

like, no, Oda doesn't always like

1:22:20

set up these hiatuses on a go, leave you on

1:22:22

a huge cliffhanger. Because

1:22:25

I remember the towards the end of

1:22:27

Wano, like, I can't remember what which

1:22:29

chapter was specifically, but it wasn't like a earth

1:22:32

shadow shattering one. But

1:22:34

this one is still like a big deal. I think the

1:22:36

action is fantastic. I couldn't help but

1:22:39

like just ooh and aah and all

1:22:41

the cool things going on here with,

1:22:44

you know, Zora and Lucci, Dorian Brogy,

1:22:47

Luffy, and then the giant robot showing up

1:22:49

like this was this was cool. Like this,

1:22:52

I'm kind of glad that Oda didn't feel like

1:22:55

he didn't force himself to like end

1:22:57

on a gigantic cliffhanger or wrap up

1:22:59

the whole Vega punk video

1:23:02

buffering. I

1:23:04

think they're making coffee, Steve. Yeah,

1:23:07

sure. Yeah,

1:23:09

they're using dial up for

1:23:12

that video. Yeah, but it

1:23:14

was good. Like it was a lot of fun.

1:23:16

And I don't know, like I think some

1:23:19

people like in our discord kind

1:23:21

of mentioned like, Oh, like the

1:23:24

the action was really hard to follow. And

1:23:26

I'm not sure what they mean. Maybe they've

1:23:28

all been reading Dragon Ball ever since Toriel

1:23:30

was passing and it's like night and day

1:23:33

comparing those two. But I

1:23:35

felt like this was a pretty, you know,

1:23:37

artistically like in page

1:23:40

layout wise, a pretty great

1:23:42

chapter. Ed. Yeah,

1:23:47

it's the intrigue of the Five Elders continues.

1:23:50

I think the most interesting thing in this

1:23:52

chapter is where so Wertry

1:23:54

says that we have much to settle with

1:23:56

your kind, you giants. And

1:23:59

you know, what Luffy's obviously

1:24:01

dressed up like the Nika

1:24:03

of the Sun God and based on

1:24:05

like the like the giant

1:24:07

straw hat that we saw in Mary

1:24:09

Joa I wonder if like Nika

1:24:12

was originally the actual Nika not the Nika Nika

1:24:14

fruit the Nika of the God Nika was actually

1:24:16

a giant from 900 years

1:24:19

ago or whatever who fought against

1:24:21

the world government was was defeated

1:24:23

by them. There seems

1:24:25

to be a connection with all the sort of ancient

1:24:28

weapons the Neptunians

1:24:30

the you know

1:24:33

Poseidon Nika

1:24:36

all this sort of giant connection

1:24:38

here and you know all

1:24:42

this is reminding the elders

1:24:44

possibly who are actually immortal of what

1:24:46

it was like back then when they

1:24:48

faced probably their strongest challenge

1:24:50

ever up until like what 200 years

1:24:53

ago when the robot scale or the

1:24:55

robot attacked Mary Joa and you know

1:24:58

the joy boy who came too

1:25:00

soon left that note

1:25:02

on the on the ponigliff but yeah

1:25:05

it's really really sort of shows what

1:25:08

they're after this is you know

1:25:10

this is their version of the one you

1:25:13

know the the Neo from the matrix

1:25:15

basically you know sent here to possibly

1:25:17

change the world by

1:25:21

being the reincarnation of what challenged them

1:25:23

you know the most the last time so I

1:25:26

just I love to I love to see the way

1:25:29

how grotesque the elders are

1:25:31

just how you know how evil and

1:25:33

twisted but

1:25:35

also how powerful they are blowing

1:25:37

you know even even

1:25:40

if Luffy does crazy cartoon things

1:25:42

like he's so bugs bunny with

1:25:44

the with the bat thing the

1:25:46

way he like

1:25:49

purses his lips and puts his helmet

1:25:51

on and does all that that's

1:25:54

just it's very bugs money to me but

1:25:58

yeah I just The chapter is

1:26:00

great for the gags. I just love the way Luffy

1:26:03

like turns the, just does the bat thing like with

1:26:05

his teeth. He shaves down the tree with

1:26:07

his teeth. The

1:26:09

bat fetcher trick with his teeth. Yeah.

1:26:13

Yeah, there's just, that's,

1:26:16

the Giants and the Elders seem

1:26:19

to have, I mean obviously Giants are

1:26:21

much longer lived than humans. But, so

1:26:24

the Giants are further removed generation wise

1:26:27

from the people who fought against

1:26:30

the world government back then. Presumably they

1:26:32

fought against them given how involved they

1:26:34

are. And Elbafina obviously never joined the

1:26:36

world government. But yeah,

1:26:39

that's, you know, the five Elders

1:26:41

and the Giants are, you know,

1:26:43

obviously are the most interesting part of this chapter to

1:26:45

me. And then the

1:26:47

robot is just the icing on the cake. It's

1:26:49

a great cliffhanger. Yeah,

1:26:53

I don't know how much, everyone

1:26:57

went right. I

1:27:00

forget. I don't have a ton

1:27:02

to add. I'll say that Steve's

1:27:04

56K thing made me

1:27:06

think, oh first, like Egghead Online, how would

1:27:08

that go? But I realize that's just the

1:27:11

Netscape Navigator logo, the Egghead Labaface. So

1:27:13

I think there's a pun

1:27:15

there somewhere. I really, really enjoyed this

1:27:17

chapter as well as the last chapter.

1:27:20

I agree with Steven, they kind of

1:27:22

run into each other. I think this

1:27:24

chapter though, once again, just shows

1:27:26

how unpredictable this arc has been. I

1:27:34

think as Jill said, you couldn't even

1:27:36

imagine a few chapters ago, let alone at the beginning of

1:27:38

this arc where this was going to go. And

1:27:41

yet, Oda planted that giant robot

1:27:43

there at the very beginning of the arc,

1:27:45

and here it comes. I

1:27:48

don't remember if we mentioned, and

1:27:51

I think it was actually probably

1:27:53

around the chapter that you were

1:27:55

on for the Robin

1:27:57

thing, Roger. Yeah,

1:28:00

I think I think it was around

1:28:02

them when we first saw the the

1:28:04

robot here But

1:28:06

the horns are very reminiscent of oars

1:28:10

in the and onigashima Just

1:28:14

I that strikes me as interesting

1:28:16

Especially consider a cover story right now

1:28:18

is also onigashima stuff with Yamato and

1:28:21

Momo So I do wonder if maybe

1:28:23

I said this arc specifically that's something

1:28:25

that happened in egghead is We're

1:28:28

getting cover stories that are Revealing

1:28:31

things that are also happening in real time during

1:28:33

the actual story So like we got that with

1:28:35

the pudding stuff with Blackbeard. So I mean, yeah,

1:28:37

you might be on to something there with a

1:28:39

connection Well, I thought

1:28:42

Roger like the stuff you

1:28:44

talked about about the size being

1:28:47

kind of a thing Is

1:28:50

very interesting because onigashima also is

1:28:52

someone's skull, right? So

1:28:54

that is a very large skull. Remember

1:28:56

Kaido Not

1:28:58

the largest man in stature, but definitely

1:29:00

the largest dragon in stature Look

1:29:03

like a little thing compared to that skull.

1:29:05

So it's it's really That

1:29:09

Zunisha which I was rereading

1:29:11

while you were talking Trying

1:29:14

to parse, you know what he said

1:29:16

just that he committed a great crime

1:29:18

and had a wall You know the

1:29:20

earth for some reason I

1:29:23

haven't been able to find the Apology

1:29:26

to Joy Boy, but I do also kind

1:29:28

of remember that Steven. I don't I

1:29:30

don't remember the specifics I

1:29:35

Am super curious how this all comes

1:29:37

together. We I think Steven on an

1:29:39

SGS way back I

1:29:42

think it was I maybe the question I

1:29:44

asked you and Greg Just

1:29:46

the idea of what the flashback

1:29:48

to the void century is gonna

1:29:51

look like that big The

1:29:53

big flashback that's gonna actually reveal

1:29:55

how all these characters interacted including

1:29:58

Toki who did exist during that

1:30:00

time. Very dead now.

1:30:02

No one's saying she isn't. How wild would it

1:30:04

be if literally we come back from this break

1:30:07

and it's like actually Toki's alive. And I've already

1:30:09

sent out this to ask if you could have

1:30:11

figured it out. You have to shoot a big

1:30:13

bat. You strive bat. It's like I guess you're

1:30:15

going to get Ms. Hall Sunday now. Don't worry.

1:30:18

Toki. Toki who did not die. Tiny

1:30:20

Toki. Exactly. The

1:30:27

Giants I think if we just think

1:30:29

of Oda as a storyteller, he's been setting

1:30:31

up the Giants

1:30:33

as this. The

1:30:35

fact that they're the Vicky, the Viking, they're

1:30:37

the ones with the Norse mythology behind them.

1:30:40

The stuff with Big Mom. All the

1:30:43

stuff in Little Garden obviously. Ennius

1:30:45

Lobby. Just this has

1:30:48

been something slow building

1:30:50

simmering in the background

1:30:52

since 2001 when was

1:30:56

Little Garden. And well

1:30:58

before then because a lot of

1:31:01

Oda's influences have been related to

1:31:04

Viking and Norse mythology. So this is

1:31:07

and I think I said

1:31:09

at the beginning of Egghead, Elbaf feels

1:31:11

like that may be where the big

1:31:14

battle ends up happening or that may

1:31:16

be where the climax of the series

1:31:18

actually takes place. This might be the

1:31:21

run up believe it or not. Super

1:31:24

curious how we're going to get there over

1:31:26

the next month. And

1:31:28

then the stuff with the Iron

1:31:31

Giant as I

1:31:33

mentioned. I

1:31:36

don't know. I'm just trying to think of who

1:31:39

has the balance of power here. Who's

1:31:43

going to do well. Who's going

1:31:46

to actually get away besides Luffy and the Straw

1:31:48

Hats I assume. Because

1:31:51

it's kept going back and forth. There have

1:31:53

been moments in this where you're like oh

1:31:55

Luffy and crew they're going to just beat

1:31:57

them. And other times where you're like how's

1:31:59

hell are they gonna get out of this

1:32:01

situation? Yeah. It's interesting too that you bring

1:32:03

up the thing with the lead

1:32:05

up to the final war potentially being you know

1:32:08

Elbeth like and this that potentially may be being

1:32:10

the start of all of it because the thing

1:32:12

I've been saying for like a long time now

1:32:14

I think you've been predating back to like when

1:32:16

we were doing whole cake island stuff when we

1:32:19

were talking about the road poneglyph back in the

1:32:21

day back in the day right like seven eight

1:32:23

years ago whatever I remember saying

1:32:25

multiple times that I kind of feel like

1:32:27

the last road poneglyph would make sense to

1:32:29

be an Elbeth with all

1:32:31

just the connections to like the ancient history

1:32:34

and the void century and potentially especially now

1:32:36

with Saul being there and the book from

1:32:38

O'Hara like it would make a lot of

1:32:40

sense for that to be there and

1:32:43

for the the fight for it to potentially

1:32:45

like go underway at that point also you

1:32:47

got to remember like throughout the course of

1:32:49

Egghead Island we've been seeing glimpses of

1:32:51

what all the other Yomko were doing we saw

1:32:53

the stuff with Shanks and Kid we've seen this

1:32:55

stuff with Blackbeard and Law so I mean like

1:32:57

the lead up is that buggy literally declaring I

1:33:00

want to go after the one piece and

1:33:02

me locking Crocodile being shocked by that so

1:33:04

yeah I don't think you're too far off

1:33:06

and uh you know not to say I

1:33:08

think it's gonna end anytime soon like you

1:33:11

know I certainly feel like we have a

1:33:13

lot a lot to go still but I

1:33:15

do definitely feel like especially with the five

1:33:18

elders showing up here like that seemed like

1:33:20

something I thought we were at least a

1:33:22

couple years away from still so the fact

1:33:24

that we not only got all of them

1:33:27

in one spot but then also all of

1:33:29

their powers as well like seeing these

1:33:31

demonic yokai whatever you want to call

1:33:33

them forms of these uh these elders

1:33:35

it's really it's exciting stuff man it's

1:33:37

it's still not clear that they're devil

1:33:39

fruits either no they could literally be

1:33:41

devils yeah we have no idea yeah

1:33:44

I think I mean demons devil

1:33:46

they could be something yeah I

1:33:49

and I wonder so we went from

1:33:51

10 minutes um we're

1:33:53

at six minutes now so the last month or

1:33:55

so has been four minutes uh

1:33:57

for those wondering and we're we're having

1:33:59

a month until we even get

1:34:01

another second through this but I

1:34:04

wonder the strats don't

1:34:06

really care or know about what's

1:34:08

going on with VegaPunks video right

1:34:11

now that's transmitting through the world

1:34:13

so there's not really any effort

1:34:15

underway to stop the five

1:34:17

elders or the government from

1:34:19

just cutting the

1:34:22

transmission so I wonder

1:34:24

especially with with York and

1:34:26

all this like how you

1:34:29

know are we going to

1:34:31

see the transmission number one and how is

1:34:33

it how is it going to

1:34:36

actually happen how what's going to

1:34:38

actually stop the five elders these

1:34:41

extremely powerful flash maybe

1:34:43

immortal creatures from stopping

1:34:46

them thinking once we get

1:34:48

out to see realistically the older elder I mean God

1:34:50

forbid maybe they can swim I don't know but

1:34:53

realistically I think only the bird one could go after them

1:34:55

and then maybe it be tied up with the robot but

1:35:00

yeah no no I yeah I think

1:35:02

just transmission wise I wonder

1:35:04

first of all where it's specifically coming from I

1:35:06

mean we saw it looked like it was in

1:35:08

the lab a phase somewhere but

1:35:12

also like no one they're all leaving

1:35:14

the lab a phase there everyone's trying

1:35:16

to escape yeah so and

1:35:19

then the fight that what I'm saying is there's different

1:35:21

goals happening here for the most part the five elders

1:35:23

are trying to get to the lab a phase and

1:35:26

everyone else trying to get the fuck out of the island

1:35:28

also do we know where Robin

1:35:31

is currently maybe

1:35:35

she's pushing with the rest of them no I don't

1:35:38

I I mean she was a little bit injured

1:35:40

we also don't know where Stu see is right

1:35:42

we all right her in a while she got

1:35:45

shot but it's one piece where's chopper I forget

1:35:47

where chopper was with to see oh

1:35:50

okay so maybe Robin you got there

1:35:52

you go that's like the one group

1:35:55

that we still have to see from

1:35:57

yeah I also that's interesting

1:36:00

Not to take over with like serious stuff too,

1:36:02

but it's just like this monarch has all the

1:36:04

stuff to chew on. I also

1:36:06

feel like because we spent so much time,

1:36:09

not as a slight by the way, like I

1:36:12

adored it with the Kuma flashback, I

1:36:14

do feel like Kuma's story is also still

1:36:16

not done yet too. I feel like obviously

1:36:18

he came and he helped Bonnie, but I

1:36:20

would not be surprised if there's like one

1:36:23

big last hurrah from Kuma at the end

1:36:25

of all of this too. Either maybe using

1:36:27

like an awakening or something to either

1:36:30

transport everybody that needs to be transported

1:36:32

or the island itself potentially, like to

1:36:34

keep everybody from keep it from being

1:36:36

destroyed from the Buster call. I have

1:36:38

literally no idea. I have no idea where

1:36:41

it's going. And that's I think what's so exciting.

1:36:43

You know, I feel like in the list. Oh,

1:36:45

go ahead.

1:36:47

I was thinking the same exact thing because

1:36:49

that pose from Luci absolutely does remind me

1:36:51

of Zoro and the nothing happened scene. So

1:36:53

reminded me that like Kuma is

1:36:55

still around. Yes. And he's got a shitload of

1:36:58

powers that could be very helpful in this situation.

1:37:01

And this is Kuma's arc. Like, let's

1:37:03

be honest, Kuma and Bonnie's arc and

1:37:07

Vega, you know, like that whole group. So

1:37:10

I feel like we'd be that

1:37:12

feels like eons ago, that flashback.

1:37:14

Because of in terms of the

1:37:17

story, I mean, for us reading

1:37:19

weekly, it certainly feels way longer ago

1:37:21

than it than it actually was. But

1:37:24

yeah, I

1:37:26

feel like the momentum of the of the

1:37:28

energy and the emotion in that story is

1:37:31

gonna the longer it takes to to

1:37:33

wrap up or to come to some sort

1:37:35

of head, the the West, you're going to

1:37:37

have the emotional resonance, I feel like. So

1:37:39

I do feel like something has to happen

1:37:42

there. I am really glad you brought up the

1:37:44

whole thing too, of like, how

1:37:46

it feels like eons ago, when realistically,

1:37:49

like the there wasn't there just a

1:37:51

manga volume that was released in Japan, the one with Kizaru

1:37:53

on the front of it? Because

1:37:55

that that volume ended, correct me

1:37:58

if I'm wrong with the

1:38:00

Thank You, Bonnie chapter, right? So

1:38:02

that's not quite the

1:38:04

end of the Kuma flashback, but you get

1:38:06

close to it. If we're

1:38:08

going by the same amount- Oh, no, no. It

1:38:11

ended with Luffy, the Kuma, getting

1:38:14

to- Getting to Luffy. Okay. So

1:38:17

there you go. So yeah, even I think since that

1:38:19

chapter, right, what there's only been like 10

1:38:22

chapters. So presumably if they're

1:38:24

still including like 10 to 12

1:38:26

chapters every volume, this chapter we're

1:38:28

reading and talking about right now

1:38:30

is going to be in the same volume

1:38:32

in which we get the end of the

1:38:35

Kuma flashback. That's true. Yeah, that's

1:38:37

not- Well, so it's 11 chapters. This

1:38:39

is 1100 is the end of 108. So

1:38:42

101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. You

1:38:46

don't have to count all of them. Yeah, I was going through all of them.

1:38:48

Yeah, I see my hand. I

1:38:51

hear enough counting. But

1:38:54

yeah, I think that's a very good point too.

1:38:57

I think that's the drawback of

1:38:59

doing this weekly. Anyway,

1:39:02

I'm sure we'll have a lot more to talk about when we

1:39:04

get to piece together because I'm sure we'll have some questions. Thank

1:39:08

you all. Very fun chapter. Too bad

1:39:10

we can't do this for another month, but

1:39:12

let's move on to the next segment. Hello,

1:39:27

gentlemen, potatoes. This

1:39:29

is the piece together segment where we

1:39:31

take your questions, comments, and theories and

1:39:33

decide whether or not

1:39:36

they put safety first and

1:39:39

whether or not you could find my chainsaw

1:39:41

and hockey mask. I see- You didn't get

1:39:43

all of it on that one, did you, though? No,

1:39:46

I didn't. I don't normally throw three in, but we had a

1:39:48

lot of good titles. You got greedy. I guess two

1:39:50

heads really are better than one. You've

1:39:53

said that already. You

1:39:56

can read alternate titles and alternate

1:39:58

images at patreon.com. Enjoy, boys! You

1:40:00

got greedy, Zad. I'm Joy Boy. Joy

1:40:04

Boy! What's our first segment, Ad?

1:40:07

Zach, it's Dispees. Our

1:40:10

patrons on Discord have questions. Alex, can you

1:40:13

ask them? Yes.

1:40:15

I pickled the figs myself, says, Hey,

1:40:18

OPP. Do you think Oda is going to tie Yamada's

1:40:20

cover story with events that are going on in the

1:40:23

main story, like the Jirma cover story, and

1:40:25

him possibly returning to the Strahats in

1:40:27

El Baaf since that is one

1:40:30

of the islands after Wano, and there is stuff

1:40:33

there that ties into El

1:40:35

Baaf like the clones of the ancient giants and the

1:40:38

fact that Big Mom is still in Wano. Yamada

1:40:40

can end up defending Wano from the Big

1:40:42

Mom pirates, and they end up on El

1:40:44

Baaf, so Big Mom's story could be resolved during the El

1:40:46

Baaf arc. From Pen Name,

1:40:48

I wish those perverts would stop sending

1:40:50

Oda my horny SBS questions and send

1:40:52

them to the One Piece podcast instead.

1:40:55

You did add my to that. It's

1:40:59

not their question. Oh,

1:41:03

that was a weird Freudian slip. This

1:41:06

is the person who said

1:41:09

the SBS questions. We

1:41:11

kind of mentioned this. We did. We talked about

1:41:13

it. I mean, Roger mentioned it a bit. Yeah,

1:41:16

I think it's I think it would be cool. I

1:41:18

don't know if we're going to see that or not

1:41:20

for this one, but yeah, I would love to

1:41:22

see Yamada and El Baaf. I just think he would

1:41:24

get along so well. I'd be like, hey, look

1:41:27

at all this huge stuff, guys. Yeah,

1:41:29

like sort of how it took another arc for

1:41:31

Jin Beta to get there, sort of like everything's

1:41:34

happening on a delay now. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah,

1:41:39

great. Professional.

1:41:42

I'm sorry. Punkfessional Poyo

1:41:45

phase says how do you P.P.? A

1:41:48

great chapter for us to sit on for next calendar

1:41:52

three weeks. Speaking

1:41:54

of which, it seems Twitter being Twitter completely

1:41:56

missed Oda being cheekily hyperbolic about figuring out

1:41:58

what the One Piece is amongst other. Do

1:42:01

you think this is a situation of Oda having a wrong

1:42:03

piece in his brain for decades but now needing to think

1:42:05

exactly how he wants to reveal it with the climax of

1:42:07

the story approaching? Could it be that

1:42:09

Vegapunk's message is going to make him have to

1:42:11

sit down and think what he does and doesn't

1:42:13

want to reveal? All I'm saying

1:42:15

is let him cook and for him to take time

1:42:18

to himself of course, have a good day. You

1:42:21

know I said this in private but

1:42:23

when his statement came out I

1:42:26

was like gee I sure hope people on

1:42:28

the internet don't read too much into that

1:42:30

statement because it clearly felt like a joke

1:42:32

and lo and behold that's exactly what happened.

1:42:38

Maybe Oda wasn't the goat after all.

1:42:43

I think Oda knows what he's doing. I

1:42:50

think I'm familiar enough with his brand of humor

1:42:52

and maybe I could pick up on sarcasm when

1:42:54

I was like oh that's a funny joke. I

1:42:58

wonder if someone's like just like pulled the alarm like oh my god he

1:43:00

doesn't know what he's doing. No

1:43:02

I realized I was muted because I just want to

1:43:04

comment on the Yamato thing because with

1:43:08

the previous cover story

1:43:10

how we saw like

1:43:12

Kuzan and Van Ogre

1:43:14

kidnapped Pudding and then like

1:43:17

the next chapter like she's

1:43:20

there kidnapped in like the present day.

1:43:23

I would love to see Yamato's cover

1:43:25

story intersect if he goes to

1:43:27

Elbeth. Something

1:43:30

happens in the manga and then Yamato is

1:43:33

like documenting it on the next cover story

1:43:35

like it's simultaneous. For some reason I'm imagining

1:43:37

Yamato with like a phone just doing like

1:43:39

a selfie video and it's just

1:43:41

like oh my god huge bombshell dropped that egg head and

1:43:43

like everyone's like I'm just looking over like what the fuck

1:43:45

are you doing? Odin wrote

1:43:48

everything down but y'all know it's

1:43:50

gonna be video recording everything. Treeverse

1:43:56

baseball match says, it's a good

1:43:59

one. Uh, hey Looney Tunes,

1:44:01

this chapter had some great gags with Luffy

1:44:03

getting his clothes and scars, Charlie Browned off.

1:44:06

Corn on the cob and a tree into a baseball bat,

1:44:08

thank you very much. Uh, using

1:44:10

his super fast paint drying powers and making

1:44:13

random explosions like early Simpsons. So,

1:44:16

what other great cartoon gags do we want to see from

1:44:18

our boy? I personally want to see him stick his finger

1:44:20

in the barrel of a big gun, then we get puff

1:44:22

up and explode in an opponent's face. Also,

1:44:24

why do the elders not want Luffy to know the

1:44:27

name of his fruit? Hmm.

1:44:30

Wasn't the random explosions more of an

1:44:33

early Family Guy thing? Uh,

1:44:36

I was thinking Aquatine. Yeah, it was the... Oh

1:44:38

yeah, it was a... yeah, where it would explode.

1:44:40

Oh no, no, Sea Lab, Sea Lab. At the

1:44:42

end of every Sea Lab it would explode, yeah.

1:44:44

No, you bring up a really good idea, actually,

1:44:46

Steven, which is that, you know, if you want

1:44:49

to have a Family Guy gag, and you

1:44:51

want to play on the giant chicken fights, you

1:44:53

know, you could fight big news Morgans at some

1:44:55

point. Amazing! Yeah,

1:44:58

it goes on for five chapters. It goes on

1:45:00

for a whole story though. It's amazing. Holy

1:45:03

crap, Chopper. This is like the time

1:45:05

I met William Shatner at that Star

1:45:07

Trek convention. And I also met Captain

1:45:09

Picard, and it's going to be Patrick

1:45:11

Stewart, because he's a friend of mine.

1:45:13

Watch the clip. There

1:45:17

it is. What

1:45:20

was I going to say? I would like to

1:45:22

see Luffy, like, just

1:45:24

maybe like, drop like a giant mallet or something on enemy,

1:45:26

and then when he lifts it, and they all turn into

1:45:28

like, several tiny versions of that enemy. The

1:45:31

worm! Oh yes. Well, they kind

1:45:33

of... he did the... when he slapped the two

1:45:35

of them together and they turned into like, the

1:45:38

piece of paper falling. That's not what I mean,

1:45:40

Zach. But it's kind of like that. He needs

1:45:42

that. Tiny miniature versions, multiple of them, running around

1:45:44

trying to recollect themselves, so they could be bigger.

1:45:48

He smashes Akainu with a giant hammer, and then you

1:45:50

get little baby Akainu's just running all over the place,

little cheetah Akainu. I

1:46:13

1:46:19

It could happen. Oh

1:46:21

no, no, no. I want Luffy to set up

1:46:23

a piano that's rigged to explode when they

1:46:25

play the exact box. Yeah, it sounds like, no,

1:46:28

no, no, it's like... No,

1:46:32

no, no, the drums of liberation sound like this. I

gotta watch the Looney Tunes after this. This is just

1:46:38

getting me to move for the original here. That's

1:46:41
