  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven eighty nine through seven ninety one,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The Capital City Falls, Big Mom and Jimbay, the Emperor's Castle,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: arriving at the hole Cake Island, and a mysterious forest
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: full of candies Loofy versus Loofy. In these episodes, we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: get to explore some more of these wild islands. We
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: get to run into fish that are they look like fruit,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they're actually fish, but then they seem to actually be
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: fruit in the end anyway, and Jimbay is here, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I honestly can't decide how I feel about this. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't expecting to see him in this timeline.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to Florian for commissioning this episode. I don't think Florian
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is here in the chat today, which is unusual. But Florian,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: if you're out there listening, we miss you. I have
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Seraphim here with me today though, so Hi Saraphem. So
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this section is really really wild, guys. There are some
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just never going to get tired of this esthetic
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: when we land on like the Candy Island. I mean,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: come on, it just doesn't get much better than it's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like Hanseling Brettel, but a whole island. Absolutely, And then
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there's this weird thing living there, and I don't know
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: what to because, you know, we see what looks like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Soanjy and then eventually we see what looks like Loofy,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking at that point, Okay, so this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is a weird creature that imitates other people. So it
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: was imitating Soanjy and now it's imitating Loofy. But later
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on we actually see the sany looking person walking away
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: smirking to themselves, so and we see them while Loofy
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is fighting himself. So it seems like those are distinct
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: different beings. And honestly, I don't know if it's just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that there's more than one of these creatures on this island,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if they are just shape shifters. It's sort of odd though, because,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like a lot of times, when you run into a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: plotline that has shape shifters in it, what you get
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is a trickster type of character who is trying to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: get something out of the rest of the people that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: know this person. They're trying to maybe cause trouble, or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they're trying to access something that only this person would
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: have access to. And so far, the thing that Lufy
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is fighting it seems like just is straight up copying him,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: with no further motive that I can see. And it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: possible that we just don't know what that motive is yet.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's also possible that like it's distracting him so that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: something can be done to his crewmates potentially, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it just didn't go the way
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that I was expecting it to go. And if this
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is a whole island of like beings who can imitate
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: other people, like how did they imitate Soanjy? Because I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: thought that he was in a different area, And where
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: did they get like the template for him? Or were
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they ordered to imitate him? Because somebody is aware that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Lufy is coming for Soanji, and so they're like, oh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I know, we'll send him on a wild goose chase
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in this direction. He's going to think he's heading after
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Sanji and it actually won't be at all. You know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is it possible that there's nothing magical about the person
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: who looks like Sony and actually it's just maybe a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: relative of Soanji who looks enough like him that if
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we like do his hair a certain way and put
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: him in a suit, we get somebody who looks close
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: enough that our friends can't tell from far away. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: also thought it was funny that this Sanji is sucking
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on a lollipop, which is definitely like a reference to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the kid friendly version of him. I you know, that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was a fun little thing that I don't think I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: would have known about if my husband hadn't explained to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: me about how the smoking was not allowed. And honestly,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not even like mad about the fact that smoking
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: isn't allowed. It's like it makes sense. But I also,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, if it's already in there, just fucking leave it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? All right? But let's begin at
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the beginning. So the capital city falls and this is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: more of Big Mom's rampage. I said in the last
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: episode that Big Mom is acting the way that I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: do when I'm on my period and I'm craving something.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And I really stand by that because there's a point
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: where she like tastes something and she just goes, that's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: not the right flavor. And I was just like, oh, man, Yeah,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like you try and satisfy the craving that you have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with something that's like close but not quite, and you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes that works. Sometimes you are able to like get
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: close enough even though you can't get a hold of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the actual thing, and it just sort of scratches the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: edge and you're done. But there are those times where
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it's like the sort of thing that I often think
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of is when you're on a diet and you think,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I really want chocolate cake, but I can't have chocolate cake,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so let me try something like that, and you make
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like a diet version, and you wind up eating the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: whole thing that you made because it wasn't satisfying that craving,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and probably you end up consuming more calories than you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: would have had you just let yourself have a reasonably
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: sized slice of chocolate cake. Not that Big Mom is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: worried about calories at all, so she's a There's there's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: an addition to this part of the universe, guys that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of, and I'm really curious about,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like how often this is going to turn out to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: be a thing, the crookum bouche that eventually I'm getting
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: ahead of myself a little bit, but Jimbay shows up
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: with this thing had that every single individual little cream
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: puff on this thing is sentient and alive and has
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a face on it. And later on we have like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: big moms sitting down in her throne room to talk
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to Jimbae and do this negotiation, and the little like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: pettyfour cakes that she's eating all have faces on them
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as well. I you, guys, I don't like this development
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: at all. We're really like in the territory of animals
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that are being used by some nefarious character. It's desserts.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So it's not as bad because they don't have cute
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: little animal like bodies, but it still seems like they
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: kind of don't want to be eaten. You know, I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was enjoying Shippy Shippye because it seemed like, ah, here's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: somebody loves his job. You know, here's a ship that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: likes to be a ship, and a door that loves
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to be a door, and a carpet that loves to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be a carpet. But then in this it seems like
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we've got desserts that wish they weren't and it seems
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: like this is only really happening when we've got big
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: mom in the picture, and she's the one that's about
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to eat them. So it's distinctly possible that it's just
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: sort of meant to like make her more repulsive somehow
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and just really be like a commentary on her character.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But if so, it's not quite landing for me, you
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think it's just like, I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: think that's what it is, is that it's supposed to be,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: because you know, we watched all of her soldiers taking
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: down these islands and killing people so that they could
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: get supplies for this party, and then we have her
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: singing this whole song about how like this is going
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to be an amazing party and whether or not it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: blood or raspberry jam, she doesn't care, it still tastes good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So we had this setting up how ruthless she is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and how single minded she is about getting the thing
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that she's after. I don't feel that we needed to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: add anthropomorphized. Man. That was hard for me to say
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: desserts into the mix, do you know what I'm saying?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It just I don't know. It just seems like that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: has to be what is being attempted here, though, because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: otherwise I can't really think of a reason, and I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just curious what you guys all
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: think of this. So, like, almost the first half of
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this episode is just more of Big Mom running around
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: destroying her city, and eventually her son pops up and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: his name is Muscato, which is a dessert wine for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: those who did not know, and people are telling him
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to get out of the way because she's going to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: kill you, and honestly, Moscato is like showing some real
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: backbone here and being like, get out of the way
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and just let her destroy the entire city.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not fucking doing that. And I was like,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you know what, good.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: For you, buddy. But then it turns out that Big
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Mom has an ability that nobody has mentioned, or if
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it has been mentioned, I don't remember it. I'll say
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that she is able to steal years of your life
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: away from you, and she steals twenty years from Moscato.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It's a weird the way that it's animated. It's like
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: his there's like a mist that sort of forms and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: swirls around him, and it reminded me of hocus Pocus
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and the way the witches feed, you know, the little
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: girl a bit of their brew and then they can
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just slurp the life off of her. I don't like
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Scatcho didn't seem old enough to me to die as
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a result of this. I thought, you know, I thought
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that what we were going to see she pulls twenty
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: years off him, that it was going to be he
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: aged in front of us, and instead it seems like
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: he drops dead, and uh, yeah, I don't know. I'm
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: just surprised by it because he looked like he was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: maybe thirty.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Saraphim says, I just saw it as an extension of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: everything around her coming to life. Well, but Jimbay is
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: coming to her with the crocam bush and it's already
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: alive when it's on his surfboard. I'm not sure if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it is a surfboard, but I'm kind of calling it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that because that's how I imagine it. So is it
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: supposed to be that like even when things are fun
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: away from her, this happens. Or is it that it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like if anything that is made on the island that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: she owns, you know, I don't know, I or is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it like the chefs that were working on it have
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the power to do this because of her proximity. I'm
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: asking a lot of questions here that, like, I'm not
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: sure that there's actually an answer. I don't know how
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: much anybody really cared about this other than me, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but it is just noticeable to me that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: everything's got little faces on it all of a sudden,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and maybe Saraphim says, just keep watching. The whole life
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: force thing gets explained later and this might make more sense, Okay,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I trust you. Anyway, the way that Jimby decides to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: handle this is he literally just like chucks the Krokum
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: bouche at her and it lands in her mouth and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it's like stuffing a pacifier into a child's mouth and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just quiets her down. And immediately she's got that swirl
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: in her eyes to indicate that she is not in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: her right mind. And as she begins to chew and realizes, oh,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: this is the krokum bush. This is the thing I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: was after, she is covered in sparkles for a moment
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and then falls over and says, now that is yummy,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and her eyes close and finally when she opens them again,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: they're back to normal. Oh okay, guys, I just saw
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I just saw I missed it somehow that the krokuambush
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the little cream puffs as they're going down her throat.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: One of them says, if I'm delicious, then I can
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: die happy. And I feel much better about it now
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that I saw that. I somehow missed it. I watched
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: this section twice too, but somehow I miss that. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: think maybe it was simply when she begins to open
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: her mouth with food still in it. I was so
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: grossed out by it that I just looked away from
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the screen instinctively, so I think that's why I missed it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: But it seems like the desserts are resigned to their
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: fate as long as they did the things, So okay, cool,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. And let's see, I'm trying to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: see they have to work on getting the capital restored
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in time for the wedding because she has done so
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: much damage, walking through everything like she's fucking Godzilla. And
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: then she looks down at Jimbay and it turns out
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: what he is here for is he is looking to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: be released from a vow he made to Big Mom,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like proposing his loyalty to her. And it's sort of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: interesting because, like I he's he I think what it
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is is that he's doing everything very by the book,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and I just wasn't really like prepared for him to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: follow the rules so much I expected him to. Just
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: if I feel like going off with the straw hats
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and being loyal to Loofy, then That's what I'm gonna
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: fucking do. But he's very aware of like, I made
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a promise and I'm going to only back out of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it if she actually allows me to do that, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert, she will allow him to do that, like technically,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but he has to pay such a price for it
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that it's like on the table by the time this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: section ends whether or not he actually survives, and that sucks.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: There's a roulette wheel that he has to spin that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: has like different options for things he could lose between
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a leg or an arm or his head, and then
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: there's like one section that's got a crowned head on it,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: which I'm assuming is like you get out of it
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and you don't wind up having to pay a price
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: at all, But it's certainly the minority in terms of
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the options on the roulette wheel. It is not like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you are more likely to get away with it, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: there is another character that we wind up touching base with.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: So he talked to his own crew, jimbe Did, about
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: how he wanted to join up with the Straw Hats,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and evidently he had talked so much about Lufy that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: when he comes to them asking would you guys be
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: cool with it? If everybody is just sort of like, yeah, dude,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: we kind of saw this coming. You talked NonStop about
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: this guy. And he's like, oh my god, did I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: really And there's a character I feel like we've seen
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: him before, Aladdin, and he is evidently married to one
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of Big Mom's family. She is a hammerhead shark type character.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what her first name is.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: But it's odd.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Because she seems like it's like she's a bully, but
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: also that she actually likes Aladdin her husband. So it's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: sort of like she's very scary and unpredictable and he
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is uncomfortable with her, but that like, for the most part,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: it works in his favor because she does seem to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: like have some kind of real affection toward him. And
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this it's just weird because everybody acts very afraid of her,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: but she doesn't wind up like getting violent in this section,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and there is something like very triggering to me about
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: a character who doesn't overtly get violent, but it's clear
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: everybody around them is expecting them to bust into violence
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: at any moment. I always just hate that. So we
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: shall see what's going on with her eventually, maybe in
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: more detail. I don't know if it's going to be
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in this arc or not. Sorry, Seraphim says Jim but
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: has a lot of yakuza theming to him, so he
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: will follow a code like this when it's not entirely unreasonable.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He was one of the og Sun pirates who Fish
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: or Tiger freed from Mariegeois. Shark Lady is Charlotte Praylean,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: pray Lean right, right right, because I remember thinking it
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: was something like crunchy okay, Prailline is a caramelized like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: hard candy. Thank you, Sarah him. So, yeah, I just
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: found this very funny that Jimbei is like, hey, guys,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I know that it might come as a shock, but
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do this thing, and everybody is like,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a shock to literally anybody. We
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: fucking saw this coming a mile away. And the fact
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that he just talked about Loufy that much when Lufy
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: is so young. It's just I know that this is
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: something that has to happen, that there are going to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: be people who are older than a certain person who's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a real up and comer in some regard, and they
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: are going to throw their lot in with that person
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and support them. I know that that's how things work,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but it is just so odd to me to see
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: like an elder who is very accomplished in their own
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: right really fucking like going to the mattress for a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: younger newbie type character. And I'm not mad at it,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: just for the record, like that is totally fine, but
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I do find it funny because it's like he's got
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a loofy. He's got like a fandom out there that
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: just spans generations, it turns out. So let's see, I'm
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: trying to make sure that I cover everything here because
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: like this first episode, okay, let's talk about these these fruits,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: because we're sort of all over the place here with
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: this the these fruits guys. So we're on the water.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Our friends have come across several different colors of water. Now,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: last episode, we saw what looked like grape juice, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: then this episode we've got like different colors of juice,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and there's this point and I want to actually like
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: expand my screen here and see if I can get
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: this to like show if I can screenshot it, because
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: certain streaming services, if you attempt to screenshot something, it
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: will block it and you only get like a black square.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: But there is an overhead shot of all of the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: different juices in the ocean mixing together that is really beautiful. Actually,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I really loved it, and it was the sort of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: thing that I was like that could make a really
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: nice like desktop, you know, And this is it's nobody
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: asks this question, and it's fine, but it does make
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: me wonder, like did these fish make the water look
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like this? Like I know it's supposed to be that
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all of this comes from what do you call it,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the actual islands themselves, but how did these fish come
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to be? Because it's like that they formulated out of
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the juice, like there was some sort of evolutionary thing
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and fish that existed that happened to swim through this
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: water eventually took on the characteristics of the fruit whose
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: juice was in the water. And it's just kind of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a fastating concept to me. So what they what they
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: wind up seeing is giant versions of each of these
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: fruits that the juice is out to sea, just far
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: enough away that it's like you can only see, Oh yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: there's a peach. There's an orange, there's a watermelon. And Lufy,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: as he is wont to do, instantly sees these and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: is just like, oh bet, I'm gonna have something to eat,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: grabs the watermelon. Pedro is trying to tell him, hey, no,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: don't come back, but it's already airborne because Lufy has,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you know, his his rubber power. He has grabbed the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: thing and it's in the air, hovering over him when
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: su its mouth opens and it just dives first like
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: it's mouth first onto Loofy, and I think Chopper yells
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: something about our dinner et Loofy something like that. And
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: this was very funny to me. I really enjoyed this.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Now what ends up happening is, of course Loufy is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: able to get out of this and beat it, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he kills the other ones too, and then cuts them up,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and they look just like giant slices of that fruit.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: And Nami is seemingly like really sickened by this. It
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: seems like it bothers her a lot that these are
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: fish that they're conflating with fruit, which, to be honest,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't really understand because like, even if they are fish,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you eat fish, you don't have a problem with that,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and you'll eat fish that are cooked with fruit. So
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: why don't you want to try this? You know what
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just kind of felt like it doesn't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: seem that unreasonable to me. Just go for it. What's
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the problem. She's just acting like it's nauseating to her somehow,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and I was not getting it at all. The whole
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: thing I think is really just meant to be NAMMI
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: stands very much outside of the desire for food, where
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: every not everybody else. It's like Pedro isn't affected by it. Really.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Brooke seems interested, but isn't as gung ho, and he's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: not diving in head first the way the others are.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: He does want some of the fruit, but Lufy is
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: eating it too fast for him to get to it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: But it's really like Pedro, it seems to me, isn't
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: super invested because he's been here before, and I think
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that it's lost a lot of its charm for him
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and Brooke, I think is just more cautious and also
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to eat the same way they do. It
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like not me. It feels much more like
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you guys are being so ridiculous that somebody here has
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to keep a clear head, you know. It seems like
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it's sort of a matter of principle with her, And
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: we see this later on when they finally wind up
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: landing on the Candy Island as well. So let's see
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: him jumping ahead here because I want to make sure
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that I don't run out of time, because honestly, I'm
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a half hour in here and this is just bonkers.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So sorry, guys. I tried doing the screenshot of all
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of the different juices mixing together. It's such a great shot, guys,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: because the camera pulls way out, so you've got like
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the colors, and then you have in the middle the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: going Mary, not the going Mary, Oh my god, the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: thousand Sunny and it's just kind of small in the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: center of all of these colors, and it almost looks
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: like a galaxy. And I my screenshot was just black,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm so disappointed. I'm sure that somewhere out there
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: you can find somebody you know took a still of this,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: but uh, I can't look for it because I could
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: be spoiled, so I don't want to risk it. All right,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: let's see, I'm gonna go back to I feel like
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I've pretty much talked about the whole thing with Jimbay
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: because he takes up most of the second the first
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: half of the second episode. Uh, and it's Prayleing who
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: he talks to you about, like whether or not it's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: likely he's going to be let out of his contract,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and Praileing says that other people have gone into the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: negotiations before, but they're all dead, so she can't tell
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: him exactly how it works or like how it went
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: with all of them, but you can guess. And it
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: ends with Big Mom being like, all right, you've got
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to spin the fucking thing, and we don't actually see
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: him do it, so we don't get the what do
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you call it, the resolution on this. So then we
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: go back to our friends on the ship and there's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: apparently this syrup that is hardening on the surface of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the water and has made it so that the ship
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: can't get through, as if they are stuck in ice basically,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: And this is such a weird scene because it's like
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: we don't actually see the ship get stuck. We just
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: come upon them when the ship has been stuck. And
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I was expecting if we were going to have a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: moment like this, it would be this big moment of
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: drama where we watched the ship approaching some unknown substance
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: on the water and everybody wondering what's going on, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: then the ship gets stuck and oh no, these ants,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you know. And it's sort of odd the way that
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: this is done because we're just here when they've already
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: dealt with some of the problem and the ants have
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: been like made to fall asleep and they're going to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: wake up. So like we do wind up dealing with
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the ants as a threat a little bit later, but
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: for now they're sort of handled. And then Page Rome
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: starts talking about how he wound up in this situation
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: once himself when he was a pirate, and he doesn't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: really want to talk about it. And I was sort
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: of thinking, maybe the reason that we don't have them
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: approaching this and like, you know, going, what is that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: out there? Maybe there's no way to write that in
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: a way that makes sense with Pedro having already experienced it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: If without him, like why wouldn't he tell them what
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: it is and find a way to go around it
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: or warn them or something, you know. I don't know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: maybe that was part of like the difficulty there is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: if he's already got experience in the thing, they it
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like this, them getting stuck like this couldn't really happen
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the same way. But I don't know, I don't know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it's possible that uh you know, it was just for
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the sake of speeding things up to get to this
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: next island. It's just you know, this show isn't known
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: for its desire to speed things up. I'll just say that.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So that's what strikes me, I think as particularly surprising
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: is we have very much got an opportunity here to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: like slow things down, and it would be completely excusable,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: and we're not taking it. I am not used to
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that at all. And these ants it's so fun because like,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you know, Sarah, and I think you were the one
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: who mentioned about how the candy like the chocolate river
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and how would that work and everything, and I was like,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we're just going to ignore all of the difficulties that
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: would be involved in that. And one of the things
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that popped to mind for me first was it's a
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: ant problem. You're gonna have flies sticking to everything and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to be hideous, and the fact that there are actual
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: like ants who are baddies that are like a major
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: problem is very fun. I should have seen it coming, honestly,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I should have known that we were going to do
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: something like this. And the ants, I think it's simply
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: because there are so many of them. But like, there
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: are plenty of creatures that we have run into on
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the ocean and on the land that you know, they're
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: very intimidating looking, but they don't really inspire the kind
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of like concern for the crew that these ants did.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You guys, these ants, I think it's just sheer numbers.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I really think that's what it is. It just got
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: under my skin, you know, this feeling of like there
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: are too many of them, You guys do not stand
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a chance. Just fucking get out of there. And really
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that's what they wind up having to do, because it's
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: like there's no way that they are going to be
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: able to manage.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: All of these things.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Anyway. So the whole thing with like Pedro he used
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: to be a pirate with Peckhams, which he has never
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: mentioned to any of them, and Carrott just sort of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: blurts it out. Petro says, I thought of myself as
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a grand explorer, but I was really naive and I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: wound up as a wanted man, and I only accompanied
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Peckham's halfway. I wanted to help Master cat Viper, so
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I was scouring these waters for ponoglyphs, and when I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: trespassed in Big Mom's territory, it became my last voyage.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm he wanted to come with them, I guess
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: because he's got like a particular grudge against Big Mom
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and he has a vested interest in this ponoglyphs thing.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: But he ends this by saying, like I faced a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: devastating defeat here and everybody. This is something that I
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: always like take issue with, is a person can say
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: something really really vague and everybody around them has a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: specific reaction as if they said something that like, as
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: if they said something particularly awful and devastating, And just
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: saying I faced a defeat here isn't telling me anything.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Is that a personal defeat where you with people and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: they were killed who came at you specifically, because I'm
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: going to guess it wasn't like Big Mom is coming
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: down out of her castle to fight you herself. So
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: there's just a lot of details here that nobody even
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: asks about or seems like curious about. And I was
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: just you know, and Nami says, you have bad memories,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: but you still came back, and I was like, is
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: nobody who to actually ask him anything further?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And he says, and it will all be worth it
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: if you can rescue Sanji. Besides, this might be a
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: chance to rectify my failure from last time. I heard
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: that you went to the Whale Tree and that our
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: kings showed you the road opponent glyph there. That was
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: quite a surprise. I'll put it this way. No one
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: outside the Kozugi clan has seen that place in nearly
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: twenty six years, specifically since they showed it to gold
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: d Roger and his crew, and after that he sailed
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to Laughtail and earned the title King of the Pirates.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: In other words, Duke dog Storm and Master cat Viper
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: think you have the same qualities that Roger possessed. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I liked this. You know, the fact that this is
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: like a big reveal that they weren't just sharing information
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that they share with anybody. This is something that's gate
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: kept and somehow Lufy's able to show them some personality
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: trait that really makes it clear. Hey, I think this
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: kid might might got the right stuff. And Pedro says like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: once you defeat Kaido, what is your plan? And Lufi
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is just like, oh God, I don't know. I haven't
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: thought that far ahead. And I was like, yeah, Pedro,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much you've seen of Loofy, but
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like it should be pretty clear by now.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Bruh is not a think ahead type at all, but yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So Pedro's like, you're going to need Big Mom's ponent glyphs.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Since we're this far into her territory, it might be
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: your best, if not only, opportunity to find it. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: in addition to taking back Sanji, we should say steel
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Big Mom's road pony glyph as well. And Nami is like, uh,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: can we even do that? Which you know there had
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: been the mention they're way too big, so I'm assuming
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: that what he means is like, take a rubbing of
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: all of the symbols on it, or something like that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Chopper himself is like, I mean, getting Sanji backs seems
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: like it's hard enough already. Do we need to add
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: this on top of it? And Lufy says, essentially, Sonjy
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: is our first priority. So Pedro says, okay, you know what,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that's fair. You go ahead and focus on him, and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: if you can buy me some time, I will go
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: after the pony glyph on your behalf. And at first
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Lufy tries to be like, I can't allow you to
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: do that. We're supposed to all work together, you know,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: we're a team, and Pedro's says, rescuing him is really
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: only the beginning. I will be fine. I just let
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: me do this, and Lufy says, all right, you know what,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: go ahead, and Namy is genuinely startled and says, well,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: shouldn't we talk this through a little bit further? And
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: it's a it's sort of odd because like Brooke says
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: something like, did things only work out for Loofy because
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: he was born under a lucky star? And Lufy usually
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: kind of puts his foot down more about working with
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: people and like staying paying them back when they have
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: done a favor for him. I was surprised at how
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: quickly he capitulated. I was surprised that Nami had an
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: issue with this, and Brooke being like everything works out
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: for Loofy in response to this didn't. This didn't feel
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: like it felt like he was counting his chickens, you
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I was sort of like, there's
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: he's not lucky yet, dude. If anything, your ship is
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: stuck in sugar syrup right now. But there was a
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: sweet moment when he says like, maybe he's lucky, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Lufy says, what did you say, Brooke, And he says
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: nothing and then says I'm lucky myself. And I did
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like that of just being like, you know what, I
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: should count my blessings too, It was cute. This is
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: when the ants all wake up and begin to come
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: at the ship. And these ants look straight out of
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: like a Halloween children's book or something. They're very cute
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: in a weird way, but also horrible. And when the
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: camera pulls back and you see just how many of
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: them there are, it is truly upsetting. I mean, my god.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: So then we go to the next episode, a mysterious
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: forest full of candies. Loofy versus Loofy, and we see
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the ship pulling up to this island that looks like
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch of cakes stacked on top of each other,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: with like icing pouring down the sides. They it's snow.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that is actually sugar, so I think it does.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: It's not just that it looks like frosting. I think
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: that it actually is. And uh, they send out the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: what do you call it? Channel three? Is what it's
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: called the Shark submerge Channel three is. That's a weird
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: name for it. I have to assume that this is
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: sort of like a translation thing. But it's Brooke and
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Paedro that are on the submarine, and so this is
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: going to be how they wind up sneaky into the territory.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Pedro and I will take care of the mission, so
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: don't you worry now. I think that having these two
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: who are both good fighters go together. And Loofy is
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: left with Nami, who's sure she has her weather power thing,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: but is she's not really a fighter and she does
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: tend to panic. We've got Carrot, who is frankly untested.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I haven't really gotten to see her in action very much.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: And we have Chopper, who you guys know, I love,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: but like he has pretty severe limitations on what he
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: can do a lot of the time. This just didn't
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: seem like the right call to let Brooke go off
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: with this. Dude, I didn't care for this. I don't
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: think this is a good idea. So anyway, yeah, I
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: do enjoy like the two of them teamed up, and
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I'm curious how this is going to go, but I wasn't.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I felt like I would rather Gna Me go with
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Pedro or maybe Carrot, have the two minks go together,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: you know it just ah, so anyway, it doesn't matter.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: And Brooke says infiltration is somewhat of a specialty of mine,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and he projects those that ghost out of himself that
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: like spooky, you know, And I guess that counts as infiltration,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I suppose. But yeah, I suppose, because it can go
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: like pretty far away from him, right, I'm trying to
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: think when we saw it come to communicate before, he
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: was like y yards and yards off from it. So
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I suppose that works. Anyway. Everybody says good luck, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I think Chopper actually has the exact line. Have fun
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: storming the castle, which is straight out of Princess bride,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: they take off, we get to see a little bit
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of them underwater, and then we go back to our friends,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: who it's such an a kind of it's a moment
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: of like I'm not sure whether to trust Loofy or not,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: but then you get confirmation a little bit later, and
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I appreciated that. Nami, even though she doesn't see it
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: herself pretty quickly, like turns a corner later and is like, oh, okay,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, but everybody is saying it, so
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: they must have seen something. And this is when they
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: spot what seems to be Sanjy standing very close to
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the shore of this island under a tree, and he
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: looks at them and makes eye contact and seems to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: want to be seen, and then turns and runs away
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: into the forest, and Loofy chases after him, of course,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: without a second thought, because that is just how he do.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Nam when Lufy's explanation for this is like maybe he's
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: playing a game, and I was like, yeah, that sounds likely,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and Namy herself is just like what, but she runs
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: after them as well, because like what else are you
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: going to do? You can't let them go out there alone,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and the like hold Chase. I am thinking this thing
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: is going to be leading them into some sort of
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: trap or something, and like, probably that's still true, but
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it hasn't. It doesn't happen the way that I was expecting,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And I think some of it is that left over
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: paranoia from the whole thing about Hansel and Gretel. Is
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: that the little kids see this house made of candy.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: They've been abandoned in the woods, and so they haven't
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: eaten in days, and they run up to the house
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and eat from it without really thinking, and then are
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: captured by this witch in payment for them eating her house.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: And I think that's sort of what I thought was
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: going to wind up happening here, is that this thing
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: is luring them into the forest and then when they
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: eat something is going to jump out at them or
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: accuse them of stealing. You know, I thought that it
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: was going to be along those same lines, and it
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't go that way at all. And eventually, you know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Lufy is Lufy, Kara and Chopper are all looking around
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: at this place that's filled with candy and being like,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, let me go search for Soanji in that direction,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and it's very clear it's just we want to go
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: in the direction of which dessert looks the best to us.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Mammy, who's the only one who's really focused here,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: she's kind of looking around herself like that feeling that
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: you get when you know you're being watched, even though
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: you can't see the person who's doing the watching, And
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: she's telling all of them like, you guys have really
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: got to stay on task here because who knows what's
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: going on? And it could be that maybe Lufy is
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: just feeling a little embarrassed about, you know, the fact
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: that I don't know. But anyway, at this point, they
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: come to a river. I don't know what the is
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: made out of, if it's just water or if there's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: something else to it, but the shore of the river
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: is lined with what looked like either pancakes or like
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: cinnamon rolls covered in icing. The bridge that covers that,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: oh here, the river is melon juice, right right right,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I forgot. Chopper says that the bridge that spans the
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: river is made out of doughnuts, which I really really
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: love that. I thought that was a very cool visual.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: And as they're sitting there, we see a shadow that's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: coming up out of the river and of course, here
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I go thinking, oh, this is the trap. Finally it's
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: been sprung the thing that I was expecting, which is
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: they have all been lured into the forest with the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: promise of delicious treats. Now the monster who set this
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: all up is going to finally come at them. And
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: it's a very dramatic moment of it doesn't just come
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: up out of the water. It comes up jaws first,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: like it's in a horror movie to clamp over that donut.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: And all I could think was like, you're really ruining
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure here, buddy, who put that donut in place? Like,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But it clamps down on the donut,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: and it's a very fun little moment of everybody understandably
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: assuming that this giant ass crocodile is here to kill
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: all of them. And there's this long pause as they
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: all put up their dukes. Basically they're ready to fight
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: if they need to, and then the alligator looks at
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: them while he's chewing and says, too bad, just humans,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and he walks away, and Lufy gets mad because he's like, oh,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: so we're not good enough for you to eat, which
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: is hilarious. And then Nami says, the issue here is
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: we've got a talking crocodile wearing a hat. I knew
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: this place was dangerous and weird, And Loofy says, but
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: we've got talking animals with hats right here, you guys,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: that that line really made me laugh. Just it was
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: just Loofy isn't usually the one to point this stuff out.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: It's almost never him who's the voice of reason in
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: a given scene, you know what I'm saying. So for
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: him to be the one that's like, nommy, why are
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you even worried about? You know what I mean? I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: was delighted to see this. Actually it seems like real
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: growth for him. But uh yeah, this thing with this alligator,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, not only is he wearing a hat, he's
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: got like what I think are suspenders on because he's
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: walking away and there's a sort of X over his back,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: so I think that's meant to be suspenders. I want
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: to know what the deal is with this crocodile. And
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: he also isn't like green the way that we've seen
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: other ones be before. He's sort of this like pale
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: blue anyway, So all of them that you know, they're
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: looking around trying to decide what to do next, and
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Nami says, okay, we made a deal with Pudding that
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: she is going to come to the shoreline and bring
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Sanji with her for us to take him away with us.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: And she hasn't led us wrong yet. She hasn't, you know,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Like she seems to be doing all of this in
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: good faith. So I think that we should just go
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: back to the ship and trust her, because I think
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: this forest is bad news. And of course everybody is like,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: how can you say that it's candy? It's literally wonderful.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: How could any of this be wrong? And just as
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: they're defending it, she turns around and she sees another
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Loofy standing there, and it's not like he's standing there
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: if it's weird, because like, again, what my expectation would
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: be when you're dealing with a double is that it
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: tries to trick them into thinking it's the real Loofy.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: But this isn't doing that. It's facing Loofy down in
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: front of everybody, very obviously making it clear which one
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: is the real one and which one isn't. And eventually
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Chopper points out that it's like a mirror image that
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: it isn't identical to Lou because it's accessories are on
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: the opposite side, it's scar is backward. Everything about it
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: is a reflection, and so if you're really paying attention,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: you can tell which is which. But uh so I
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: kind of appreciated that that it's not an identical copy.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: It's a mirror image, which is definitely very different. And
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if this is actually a creature or if
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it's a spell of some kind, you know, like I
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. And again, like it's not really trying to
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: trick them. It's just fighting Loofy, and every movement Loofy
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: makes in the fight it mirrors. So every time he
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: tries to punch it, it punches back at him, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: their fists just wind up blocking each other, and uh
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's just really it's a really kind of trippy moment,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the kind of thing that nam wasn't also
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: seeing this, I would kind of wonder is this a
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: result of everybody eating the candy? Is there something in
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: the food of this island that causes you to have hallucinations?
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't think Nami's eaten anything, and she sees
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: this just as much as everybody else. So I guess
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: that's not it. But yeah, I don't know what to
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: make of this whole thing again, though, I just love
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: the design of this entire island. It's so fun, and
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I am really curious what the deal is with this
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: fucking Sanji guy. You know, I have to assume that
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: this somehow somebody's devil fruit power, but I just don't
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: know how that would even work. Devil fruit powers frequently
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: don't work in ways that I would have thought of,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: so that doesn't mean it's not it's just I can't
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: really theorize on that. But yeah, I really did like
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: these three episodes. It was just, you know, it's so
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: everything is sort of up in the air at this moment,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: and the idea of like Lufy being versus himself is
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: kind of funny, but I feel like it could only
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: really be truly interesting to watch if they were able
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: to actually fight. If it's just mirror image movements and stuff,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: then it's probably going to start to get old pretty quickly.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: And it's only a distraction for Loufy for right now.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else somebody could be trying to
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: accomplish by doing this, So yeah, all right, well, oh,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry there's so much seraphim is in the chat
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and I was not seeing it. Lufy, trusts Pedro, and
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I think this is another translation issue of the nuance
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: being lost. The doors on the Sunny are number zero
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: through four. Each has a different machine in it they
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: can use. Yeah that I got so Channel four was
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: what number they had to set the dial to to
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: select the right doc. Ah. Okay, look, this is one
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: piece the explanation for why something is the way it
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: is can generally be assumed to be one of three things.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Devil fruit, hockey, Oda is freaking insane. Yeah that's fair.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I feel like I've said everything I
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: need to about this section, so I'm a little short
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: on time, but I go over enough that I think
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: it's fair, So I'm going to wrap up. I appreciate
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: everybody listening. I hope you're enjoying the show. Thank you
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: to Sarah M for joining me, thank you to Florian
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: for commissioning this one, and until next time to lou motherfuckers.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network podcast.
