Welcome back to another episode of Straw Chart with my friend,
0:32
as always, Lee and for and Jake, I mean how he's doing first
0:37
recording of the year. I know, a little bit rusty, but
0:40
excited because you know it's one piece.
0:43
Best, best story ever told. So what was excited?
0:46
Yeah. You just feel like a right mess,
0:48
like down. With the sickness.
0:51
I've been I'll look. Me has grown and it's all messy.
0:55
I probably should have done something with it before I came
0:57
on and gotten live. We've sat here and talked for
1:00
half an hour before we even clicked record.
1:03
I could have done something with it, but I just chose not to.
1:08
What I what I what I could do, I could quickly do it.
1:10
Now hang on when you. Do have a Sanji cut going on
1:15
there, so cool. That's amazing.
1:20
I had to get one for this arc. What do you want to do with the
1:23
Afro? I will never tell.
1:25
You know, I've been sitting here, we've been told for half
1:27
an hour and being like, I'm loving speaking here, but me
1:29
afro's just sitting there. I'm dying to break it out.
1:32
I did not expect that. It does make you look so funky
1:35
though, Lee. You look, you look stronger.
1:37
Because the Afro is where all the power comes from.
1:40
Yeah, yeah. I genuinely I really like this
1:43
arc. I mean, there's other fillers
1:45
that don't what, because I've run the the tick tock I'd put
1:49
short of this out and I've had a few people say some of the
1:54
filler arcs are even the most die hard One Piece fan doesn't
2:00
watch them. What what I know.
2:02
I know we talked about this before we went.
2:04
We'll start recording. What do you guys think of that?
2:07
Because I'm all for watching all the fillers.
2:10
I like seeing the characters and I don't want to miss parts like
2:13
the Foxy Pirates because that, that's filler, isn't it?
2:16
It's like it's I think it's extended in the anime.
2:19
Is that right? Lee like Foxy is in the manga,
2:23
but I don't think I don't think the return of Foxy part is
2:27
possibly or it's like a lot shorter whatever happens.
2:31
I didn't read that part of the manga and I read like some of
2:34
the beginning and then I skipped a bit further and like carried
2:37
on from where I got up to with the anime.
2:40
Yeah, but Davey back fights are a thing in the manga.
2:44
I know that because it has been mentioned in other parts so.
2:48
Yes. I haven't seen any other Davey
2:50
back fights in the manga. You just you know about them.
2:54
It's like it'll. See a pirate.
2:55
But like, he collects people by doing Davey back fights and it's
2:58
like, oh, right, the exit, yeah. I ended reading about one of the
3:01
devil fruits you guys talked about, like the the bomb one, I
3:06
guess the bogey guy. So apparently the original user
3:09
of the Bomb 1 was taken to a famous crew by a Davey
3:14
Backfight. And I was like, that's
3:15
interesting. It's all, it's all linked
3:18
together. It's all.
3:21
Blackbeard Love. It's what's the Afro yeah
3:26
filler. I genuine.
3:27
I generally like it apart from when it's like massive
3:31
flashbacks like in Naruto. But yeah, yeah, because you
3:36
might get some comedy moments. Like that's your best case
3:39
really, isn't it? You'll get some comedy.
3:41
You're not really going to get any like new power ups or
3:43
whatever. But you know, hey ho, he can't
3:45
have everything. But yeah, I think skipping Foxy
3:48
would be a massive loss to your experience because it's
3:54
absolutely hilarious. I even like the the old man that
3:58
is just oh where has he been for like 60 odd years?
4:02
Just beat up on the stilts. It just reads 4 questions and it
4:05
asks. But yeah, how do you how do you
4:08
spell the toilet? It just lets it drop wherever it
4:11
falls mate. Who are animals that that long
4:14
dog will be walking around like it doesn't rain?
4:18
I was thinking in my immediately I was like, all right, how does
4:21
he eat? But then they explain that
4:23
pretty quickly because like all the tree, all the trees are
4:25
tall. He's on.
4:27
He's on an only fruit diet as well so it can't be good when it
4:32
comes out. Yeah.
4:34
So this is a long ring, long road, is that right?
4:39
Yeah. Just can you say that faster
4:41
please? Long Ring Long Rd.
4:43
Oh I've got long ring Rd. land is.
4:46
Long ring Rd. land I've got. Long ring, long land arc.
4:52
That's also that's also one that I've like.
4:53
Got to be a long ring, long ring Rd., long ring, long land and
4:59
Long Ring Rd. Land.
5:01
OK, so yeah, this is basically the island where everything is
5:05
long. I did tell Chris sometimes there
5:07
is themed islands in one piece, you know?
5:10
Yeah, here we have one by the. Way are these very extreme
5:14
themed islands normally filler? Are they part of the?
5:19
No, some of them are just like, you know, like here we are.
5:22
This is the entire arc. It's like framed around this.
5:25
I just don't want to reveal any because you know, you'll know it
5:28
when you see it. Do.
5:29
Any of them ever feel like lazy? Be like, oh, we're at the island
5:33
where everyone has long fingers. Sometimes I think there's I
5:37
think there's an island where people have long arms.
5:40
Like you're very good at predicting this kind.
5:44
Of thing. You did you predicted the finger
5:48
poke of doom action, but no, I I did.
5:52
I really enjoyed the comedy early on with the long animals.
5:56
And I think that's a clip you could show anybody, you know,
5:58
with the where they find the dog and all the, the weird like.
6:01
It's the long it's not a dog chick, it's a dog.
6:05
Just the way like Luffy's immediately good with dogs, he's
6:08
just like it poor straight away 1.
6:12
Of them just have a long head as well.
6:14
Yeah, some kind of weird leopard or something.
6:17
Oh yes I like it's head was like sideways long.
6:20
I forgot about that. Yeah, like this is this is what
6:23
I love about the comedy of One Piece.
6:25
They get a lot of mileage out of like show something silly and
6:28
have like a couple of characters like shout in the background be
6:31
like, that's that's wrong. Like his head's just long.
6:35
Like the the fall back on that quite a bit, but I think it's
6:38
always funny. But yeah.
6:39
So yeah, this old guy gets stuck on stilts really high in the sky
6:43
because he wanted to try stilts and then.
6:46
How did it break in the in the Japanese one?
6:48
Is it like in the air subbed? Is he trying to break the record
6:52
for the tallest stilts in the world or something?
6:54
Possibly. Or he just always had a dream of
6:57
being tall or something, and then.
6:59
And then. Yeah, because because it's so
7:01
high and bamboo does in real life grow pretty quickly.
7:05
None of his family, which sucks for that guy.
7:09
Yeah. You'd think they would notice
7:12
like a couple of bamboo shoots as tall as that.
7:15
I can see just across the land with a horse in that leaf.
7:20
And your grandpa who loves Stilt Walk and has disappeared.
7:23
Be able to get a lot of comedy mileage out of this guy as well,
7:27
because it's like, he's just weird.
7:29
Like Luffy's like, like, like asking questions.
7:33
Like Luffy thinks he's great and he's just like it like you're up
7:36
there like what, 50 years or so? And yeah, there's some.
7:38
Colonies his dream in it. Exactly.
7:41
But there's some, there's some sort of like complicated
7:44
explanation for how the island works and that like it part of
7:48
it sinks into the sea so he can't get back to his family
7:52
because everyone's migrating round the ring.
7:55
And then you can only walk when the sea is down like but if you
8:00
use the horse you'll get there in like 3 months.
8:03
Yeah, because there's absolutely nothing vegetation wise or food
8:06
wise on this Ring Island. And they they eat it all on one
8:12
part of the island. When the sea goes down the move
8:14
on to the next. I think it's like a three month
8:16
cycle or something in this. Yeah, something like that.
8:19
Yeah, three years, isn't it? Or three years.
8:21
I think every three years or something the sea goes down and
8:25
and crossed to another island, but they've got like a few weeks
8:28
where they can cross or something.
8:30
And I think it's something like there'll be like 9 years.
8:33
If you had to keep waiting or something, it would still be.
8:36
Yeah, it's an interesting idea. They don't really go much
8:39
further into it. It all gets resolved nicely
8:42
later on, but this is the flimsy pretense for Foxy to just show
8:47
up out of nowhere, basically. Yes, because on the way this
8:50
island, the passive boat as well where there's only like a few
8:54
people left on it and they're all like rundown and snag it.
8:57
Going nuts. Some kind of frog ship with no
9:01
captain, Yes. And then, yeah, as as they're
9:05
there, the the foxy ship like shoots out its little paws and
9:09
like traps the the straw hat ship.
9:11
And then they make you think they shoot that horse, don't
9:14
they? Yeah.
9:15
The beautiful, the beautiful horse when he's like I finally
9:18
reunited and the riding around, it's just like, I'm sure that's
9:21
the to be continued And you're like, what?
9:24
Even watching this a second time I was just like oh holy shit
9:27
that's dark. I know I didn't remember, like I
9:30
can't remember these tiny things, but yeah.
9:34
Chris, what did you think of Foxy?
9:35
The first first introduction. I loved him because he was like
9:41
when you, when you first kind of see him, he's hiding in a Bush.
9:45
Yeah, my lights have just gone anyway.
9:49
And yeah, you see him in a, see him in a Bush sneaking behind
9:54
Luffy the horse and that, yeah, I'm like, he's he's not like a
9:58
serious buddy. He's just a common belief buddy.
10:01
Like a Team Rocket kind of guy. Yeah, yeah.
10:04
Yeah, I loved him. He's laugh as well.
10:06
Yes. Is it like a?
10:07
Yeah, Yeah, I can. Remember, he's like a French
10:13
Frenchman or something. Oh, OK, so he has a French
10:15
accent in in in the sub. He's kind of just like a shouty
10:18
guy. It's it's it's really fun
10:21
though, because like we start getting these like grip freed of
10:24
like, Oh, well, you know, our crew is so huge because like the
10:28
Foxy pirate ship is like massive, like like 10 times the
10:31
size of like the Straw Hat one. And they're like, yeah, well,
10:35
our boss is the best at like Davy back fights and that's why
10:38
he's got like the best crew. And then they're like, well, our
10:41
captain would never agree to that.
10:43
It sounds really stupid. And then they're like, well, if
10:45
he does, you'll hear the gunshots.
10:48
But it's just typical loopy, isn't it though?
10:49
Like if he sees a challenge, he's not going to turn it down.
10:52
And also he thinks it's going to be fun.
10:54
So he's like, yeah, let's do it. And it is.
10:56
For. I love that though for.
10:57
Us not for Chopper. Oh, it was.
10:59
So I found it stressful. Like this is the most stressed
11:02
I've ever been in one piece. Who cares about this ugly?
11:06
What is you won't as before going you were like, there will
11:11
be a point where you're like, fuck sake again, Yeah.
11:15
Because they finally get finished, the Davey back fight,
11:18
and then they're like, right, yeah, good job, That's over.
11:20
Luffy wouldn't be stupid enough to do that again.
11:23
And then you're here. Fuck's sake, Lovely man, What
11:27
are you? Doing take that gun away, do
11:30
you? Think that when they were like,
11:31
oh, we're kind of, we're keeping pace with the manga here.
11:34
I think we need to delay it a couple more weeks possibly.
11:38
I think he, I think some of this is in the manga, but yeah, like
11:42
it maybe did. Maybe there was some extra
11:44
parts. I am.
11:45
I really like this too little, not little.
11:48
There's two sidekicks as well. One of them was like a big like
11:51
gorilla guy who's just like whatever, like something bad
11:55
happens. And then they just had the
11:56
weird, the weird girl who's just like, I mean, just basically in
12:00
Japanese, just kind of like talks like a valley girl.
12:03
So like, you know, with the really high pitched stuff and
12:06
basically just wants Chopper for some reason as a pet.
12:09
Yeah, she just thinks he's cute. Yeah, yeah.
12:14
But yeah, like what? What did you think of the sort
12:17
of the challenge game? I mean this the first boat ones
12:21
a bit like Wacky Races. That's like, oh this is classic
12:25
Hannibal pair of shit. Oh yeah, when?
12:28
What? What was the team name?
12:29
Something like at least a floats?
12:32
Oh yeah. And the happy they had like all
12:35
the cheating set up as well where it was like, oh, this is
12:38
the giant barrel ship. And they're like, like, what are
12:40
you guys going to do? Like just wait till the starting
12:43
thing goes, just throw bombs out at everybody and lose the way.
12:48
I did like the the fake finish line when he's just like, oh
12:52
great, a finish line. Do you think I'm stupid and like
12:55
just carries on. But then the Foxy Pirates get to
12:57
it and they're like, oh great, the finish line and the Foxy
12:59
Pirates like, what are you doing?
13:01
Yeah, because that's one of the rules of the Derby Back
13:04
Challenge is you're allowed to cheat, I guess, or you're
13:08
allowed to help from the sidelines.
13:10
There's sometimes a ref, but you're.
13:12
Not supposed to with the ref, the ref or the ref pissed us
13:15
off. That was such good, like cartoon
13:17
comedy, though. I was just like, like every
13:20
something was happening. But he was like getting yeah.
13:24
So Foxy's power is kind of bad news, though.
13:27
The the slow slow beam fruit or whatever.
13:30
Don't know what else he can do. He's, he's like a weird pear
13:34
shaped man as well, isn't he? Yeah, yeah, they call him the
13:37
split head a lot because he's got like a, a middle part and
13:40
with like 2. I'm sure that's some kind of
13:43
slur. It was accurate to the
13:45
translation as far as I could tell.
13:47
I don't definitely just based on on him as if there's a pirate,
13:51
but I kind of like the slow, slow fruit.
13:53
It was very I, I don't know why he cheated because he probably
13:58
could have. If he if he was serious, he
14:00
probably could have done a lot more.
14:02
But I liked how it had like a silly, like, horn honking noise
14:06
for some reason as well, like when it came out.
14:09
But yeah. And again, it's like he's one of
14:11
those characters where like if you say anything bad to him, he
14:14
he immediately gets depressed. They do manage to use against
14:18
him a couple of times later on. But yeah, there's it's like you
14:22
said is quite stressful because like they pretty much almost win
14:25
a lot of the stuff and then get like beaten like right at the
14:28
last second by the baddies. Is this the first mention as
14:32
well of Fishman Karate? Because I, I noticed that coming
14:35
up. Awesome.
14:36
Because I had. I had a Fishman on the team and
14:38
he was like Fishman karate something sea.
14:42
Sea. Surface splitter, that's what he
14:44
said. I think Chris is going to say
14:46
what I was going to say. In all on park with the guy with
14:49
the M, it was the the judo guy. He probably asked you.
14:53
Yeah, I'm sure it was mentioned there.
14:56
Yeah, he might do. It would make sense for the
14:59
fishermen to mention fishermen. Karate in the fishermen so.
15:02
I'll get that. Was that an actual?
15:03
Thing yeah, it's it's pretty cool because it's like it's hot
15:08
because obviously they they can like, you know, swim around in
15:11
water really fast but it's like their own fighting style like,
15:14
you know based on the water yeah it it shows up every now and
15:17
then. I do like how the fishmen are
15:20
just part of it now, where it's just like with all on pot, like
15:24
fishmen exist and now they're like, yeah, yeah, want to be
15:27
crew. I mean, yeah, they're still,
15:30
it's still a bit odd, isn't it? Because like, I guess because
15:33
like Foxy's crews made-up of loads of different ships all
15:35
like stuck together. I think there's definitely more
15:38
people who were suspicious of them, like, you know, in a, in a
15:42
racist, roundabout way. But yeah, it's there's like so
15:46
much weird, there's loads of weird different races that
15:48
they're bringing over time and it's nice when they're just
15:51
randomly drop them back in. But yeah, so like the the next
15:54
game was that like weird ball game, wasn't it?
15:56
Where I think that was a giant Fishman as well, which is a
15:59
combination of two races maybe. He was 1/2 giant.
16:03
Yeah. So is he half giant, half
16:05
Fishman? I think so, yeah.
16:07
There's some races or some people, you'll see them and go
16:10
how did that? Work like mechanically.
16:14
And I'll station in a Chihuahua. Yeah, yeah.
16:17
And then there was like then that was where the the monkey
16:19
man like became bad news. But yeah, I I really like this
16:23
part because it's like it it goes to show and this crops
16:27
uploads over a series like Zorro and Sanji.
16:29
There's always like rivalry and even the fans are like who's
16:33
stronger? And it's like, you know, it
16:35
turns out they're even stronger when they work together.
16:38
Like, you know, they can do like stuff 10 times better than,
16:42
like, you know, each on their own, but they'll never work
16:45
together probably. Yeah, didn't order recently says
16:50
that the that the perfectly equal in strength like recently.
16:54
Yeah. Yeah, actually you think about.
16:56
Chris, go on, tell us what you think of that.
16:58
Who's stronger between Zaru and Sanji?
17:00
Fighting wise, yeah. Yeah, Zorro turns down.
17:04
I'm not accepting that. I know he's the creator.
17:07
Yes I would. I fully agree.
17:09
I don't care what people say is I'm always stronger.
17:12
I don't know what the in the in the current in the current
17:15
episodes, what the strength levels like or what they even
17:17
look like now, but at the minute it's Soros hands down.
17:23
Yeah, that's a, that's a sore spot.
17:25
But but if if someone asks, I will side with Sanji because I
17:30
think it's funny. Sanji is like a like a more
17:33
well-rounded person, like Zorro just kind of sits and sleeps and
17:37
drinks. Yeah.
17:39
He mainly sometimes drops some weird like philosophy where
17:42
you're like, oh, Zorro somehow know about God and stuff like
17:45
that. You know what he was talking
17:46
about? Like God in the last ark.
17:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like going forward, he
17:51
has some like wisdom, but it's it's like, yeah, it's it's few
17:54
and far between. Doesn't say is.
17:57
He he's about to pick up something because he's he's been
18:00
at that sword spin Dojo place for a long time.
18:04
He grew up there, didn't he, with master swordsman?
18:07
So I'm sure they would have been cutting about the place saying
18:10
like their philosophy. And so some of it's bound to
18:14
have come up on. Yeah, but most of the time he's
18:17
like, I'm tired, Yeah. Then the next game is the
18:20
skating game, which was weird, had a lot of rules.
18:26
With the groggy ring. The last one though, I just want
18:29
to bring up like how much I love like, so Sanji and Zorro's like
18:32
dynamics where they're always arguing and they have to decide
18:35
who has the ball on the head. Yeah.
18:38
And Zorro's just like, oh, he's got the ball on his head and
18:41
puts it on and all of a sudden standing just like, why do I
18:44
have to wear? It's like I look like an
18:45
absolute idiot. And then now he's just like, I
18:48
think you look lovely with the ball in your head.
18:50
He's like, oh, Nami son. Yeah, like this the just the way
18:54
you have to like dunk the actual person is hilarious.
18:57
Yeah, they do managed to like Spike the big giant guy, which
19:01
has never happened before in the history of Davy Backs.
19:05
I think that was probably the one that I was most, least
19:08
stressed about because it was and Sanji and it was just like,
19:11
these two aren't going to fuck it up.
19:13
Yeah, that's good. That's the fun thing about this.
19:16
Like people who aren't normally in for the physical challenges
19:20
have to like, you know, try. But yeah, the roller rink thing,
19:25
Robin was very good on that one. You wouldn't think arms growing
19:29
could be that useful for roller rink, but apparently yes.
19:32
Also what what we haven't mentioned is after each round
19:36
you get to take away one of the other Pirates crew.
19:40
So what's it called? The doughnut race?
19:42
That's what it called. Boxes crew won that and took
19:45
Chopper. Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:47
And that was like just half breaking because Chop was like
19:50
crying his eyes out and everything and like.
19:53
They're like, no, they're like stop it.
19:56
You've got to go to the other crew.
19:58
Zorro isn't it. Everybody else is like, Oh no
20:00
choppers. I'll just, like, be a man about
20:02
it, man. Yeah.
20:04
And then the win round two and the choose someone else don't
20:08
that is it the horse to take back.
20:11
The horse, yeah. Yeah, yeah, because everyone
20:13
thinks like, oh, he's going to take Chopper back and Luffy's
20:16
like the long horse that he caught in a net before the
20:20
contest even started. He makes the old guy happy
20:23
though. Do.
20:24
You know what? I get it.
20:25
Like at the time I was like, what the fuck?
20:27
Why are you picking the horse? And then I was like, yeah, it's
20:30
it's Luffy. That's why he does one.
20:32
And he knows they're going to win the the final fight, which
20:36
they have a cheetah man on the what are you a man cheetah?
20:40
Always sniffing the cucumber. Yeah, but like is he, is he a
20:46
zone type? Do you think we like a like a
20:49
man cheetah or is he or is he from is he from the Animal
20:52
Island? Cheat, Cheat island.
20:55
That don't really say. Don't know, it would have to be
20:57
like as actually no, there is animal people in this world,
21:01
isn't there? Yeah, that's what I mean.
21:02
Like is he actual from ZOA or is he a zone type like devil fruit
21:08
use? Oh, I think, I think.
21:09
He might be. From Zoa I would have to guess.
21:13
I don't think he's a devil fruit user.
21:15
Yeah, but yeah, he gets like a weird thing about him where he's
21:19
sniffing Luffy and like Luffy's like can't try you're rude type
21:21
of thing. And then the big joke of this
21:24
one is Luffy doesn't know how to scare, which is he's so bad at
21:30
it. And so I was like, you can do
21:31
it, man. Like he teaches them how like in
21:35
between rounds. But then once he can do it,
21:37
obviously these rubber arms are pretty great for for races
21:40
because if you come off the track, you disqualify it.
21:44
But if you like do a big flip around the outside and come back
21:47
on without touching anything, you're fine.
21:50
Yeah, yeah, there's, there's three rounds to that last one,
21:52
isn't there? So Loopy skates 1st and loses
21:54
because he can't skate. Is it Nami in the second one?
21:58
I think with. The big.
21:59
The robot that only goes around the track once because she's
22:02
been hypnotized? Yes, it's in front of her.
22:04
Because Porsche has like a hypnotizing flower fruit power
22:08
type of thing where if you look at whatever she's doing, you
22:11
just fall asleep. Yeah.
22:13
I think this would confirm that that Cheetah man definitely
22:16
doesn't have a devil fruit because if someone has a devil
22:18
fruit to make a point of like saying I have this type of fruit
22:23
and it not one point to be like cheetah man has taken a cheetah.
22:28
I don't even think he talks like he's just, he actually acts like
22:32
a real animal. Real roller skating cheetah?
22:35
Oh no, there's. There's, there's five rounds,
22:37
isn't there Surrey? Because Luffy goes again.
22:39
He goes in round one and round 5.
22:42
And there's a there's a USOP round against the Cheetah as
22:44
well. But this is where the
22:47
interference rules start coming in.
22:48
And they're quite odd where it's like, oh, you can have blockers
22:52
and then if you just like beat them up, then you sort of win.
22:55
So when Luffy can finally beat the guys up, it's like a no
22:58
contest sort of thing. Oh, and they're like, Oh, my
23:02
swords aren't actually sharp. Like that guy who like you think
23:05
he's cut Luffy. He's like, oh, don't worry, this
23:08
is a kids show. But now.
23:10
But yeah, actually Speaking of that, I've I've been watching a
23:12
lot of the the clips from the The Kids a kid show where
23:16
Sanji's got the weird New York accent.
23:19
Oh, like the the old the old dub that I watched on on Fox.
23:23
News. Hey, I'm walking here.
23:25
I want to see that. That sounds amazing.
23:28
It's hey, I'll cook you some of it.
23:29
I'll cook through something to eat and forget about.
23:32
I mean, he kind of sounds really stupid like this.
23:36
Yeah, yeah. I don't cook for medals.
23:39
I think I've told you before, it's the guy.
23:41
It's like Brock from Pokémon, I'm pretty sure, doing his voice
23:44
just being really stupid. So yeah, I think like.
23:47
So this is where the restart the fight, isn't it, because the the
23:51
win, the win the roller Derby and take and then he's like he's
23:56
like, but how about double or nothing?
23:58
How about another? Is it another three coin game?
24:01
Because that's how many. Was it?
24:02
Just don't think so. Because now I'm blanking on what
24:05
the other events are. Have have a boxing match and.
24:09
The last one I think maybe does it just do a one coin game for
24:13
the next one? Yeah.
24:16
No, because the Oh, hang on, wait.
24:19
Oh crap, no, because they do the red light green light thing like
24:22
where where the old man has to stay on top of the mountain and
24:25
he falls asleep. Oh yeah, which is ridiculous and
24:28
they'll lose Chopper again from that, don't they?
24:30
Because. Pissed us off.
24:32
Because Zorro kicks the monkey guy, right?
24:35
And Sanji. Sanji was standing in front of
24:38
him. He could have touched the man
24:39
and then went and saved the lass.
24:41
Yeah, yeah, That poor old man has to stand there.
24:44
He's like, I'm scared of heights.
24:46
Honestly, most, most of this whole arc, I'm just, you know,
24:49
Steve Carell in the Office where he's like, no, no, no, that was
24:54
me just for like 15 episodes or whatever.
24:56
OK but I'm I'm blanking if there's another one though.
24:58
I just genuinely can't remember if there's another event but it
25:03
does culminate in Luffy and Blankenon split heads then Foxy
25:10
doing a like an all or nothing type of thing where he's like OK
25:13
500 of my men versus 500 of your family members forever.
25:19
Like your entire crew, plus all of your sons and daughters in
25:24
perpetuity until 500 crew members have been spent.
25:28
I've got I've got them here, donut race, groggy ring, and
25:31
then a boxing match. And then the Reed did it all
25:35
right, That's the manga and then the Reed.
25:37
Then the rest of the games are the filler.
25:40
So the filler 1 is the roller race pirate dodgeball.
25:43
Yes, I remember that machine, the one machine you're allowed
25:47
to use. And that's the all the jokes
25:49
about the big rule book that Robin like, reads.
25:51
And then he loses because he eats a ball, which is
25:54
disallowed, apparently. Why is that a rule?
25:58
And then red light, green lights and the lose Robin and Chopper
26:02
this time, don't they? Yeah.
26:04
Yeah, yeah. So going into the final box and
26:07
fight, it's like it's very much like, oh, this is going to be
26:10
bad if he if he actually loses, you know, we're going to lose
26:13
the entire crew and have to join the Foxy Pirates.
26:17
But how good was this boxing battle thing?
26:20
It was just so funny, like the. Entire set up as well in the
26:25
changing room, whether like hang on a minute.
26:29
Right. Yeah, so they get to pick their
26:31
outfit. So this is where Afro Luffy
26:33
comes in. He was very much a fan favorite
26:36
design. And yourself gets to wear the
26:38
straw hat because he's the manager.
26:41
Didn't he wear it? Weird though?
26:43
He doesn't wear on his head. I thought he had as a goggles
26:45
over it or something. Yeah, yeah.
26:48
Is Afro Luffy based on anything like another anime or something?
26:53
Because it looks familiar. I mean, there's there was
26:57
definitely Afro Thunder in that video game ready to rumble
27:00
boxing. So I don't know if so, I don't
27:03
know if it is based off like someone who was famous in Japan
27:06
because I know the absolutely love Muhammad Ali in Japan.
27:11
So I don't know if it's like a whole boxing sort of like, you
27:15
know, love thing. But yeah, everyone's just like
27:19
it makes them makes them 10 times cooler and all the boys
27:22
are just agreeing with it. And now he's like, what?
27:24
What is this Afro thing? I know people, like a lot of
27:28
people go you shouldn't watch the dub you should watch the
27:30
sub. But this definitely has
27:33
something better than the air sub.
27:35
I'm guessing you won't get the voice of so it'll just be like
27:39
Konichiwa after all Luffy and stuff like that.
27:44
It'll still just be Japanese, but in the dub everyone starts
27:47
like going oh we look so funky and like.
27:51
I mean, I think, I think what they do with Usopp is he's doing
27:55
a bit of an American sort of Americanized Japanese accent.
27:59
I think, you know, like he does say funky like in English.
28:04
So like they're definitely trying to make them more
28:06
American. But yeah, I don't think Luffy's
28:08
any different just with shouting and stuff like that.
28:11
But yeah, this fight is absolutely hilarious because
28:14
he's like Foxy's actually pretty dangerous with what's his mind
28:18
to it with like his slow like missile bombs that are just
28:21
really annoying that just go like, and he's got those
28:26
horrible like pin badges that make the same weird noise, but
28:29
they do really blow up and Luffy gets pretty exploded.
28:35
And Foxy disguises, man, I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
28:41
It's like there's a woman on this ship.
28:43
Oh, no problem. You know what it looks like?
28:46
You know, like the, the that power of girls episode where
28:49
the, the convicts guess it was the like the giant heads.
28:54
Yeah, it's like, it's horrible and like, it's like, I, I'm Foxy
28:57
sister and all that stuff and like Luffy's like really?
29:00
Did you see a guy come through me?
29:02
And yeah, like then it's just a bunch of like scooby-doo traps
29:04
like oh, this is the spike floor room or like the, the
29:08
cannonball's gonna come through the wall type of thing.
29:10
I. Mean Order definitely likes his
29:12
like cartoon kind of tropes. Yeah, yeah.
29:16
He's always said he he's not really.
29:17
He's not like in the power scale.
29:19
And kind of the same way Toriyama wasn't that interested
29:22
later on, like so yeah, you'll you'll often do stuff that makes
29:26
no sense to to pee off those types of fans like.
29:30
Hopefully like not as spoil anything for Chris but there is
29:33
stuff like later on and maybe he's about another 800 episodes
29:37
where it's based on Tom and Jerry.
29:39
Yeah, yeah. Right.
29:40
I don't even mind stuff like that.
29:44
Like. It's.
29:45
Great stuff. Like Intel My way.
29:47
It doesn't take itself too seriously at all.
29:49
It doesn't. Kill everyone, like like all the
29:53
best stuff has a mix, so I don't know why people get so weirded
29:57
out. Yeah, Foxy is simultaneously
30:00
dangerous. That's just been said.
30:03
I don't, I don't know. That made me headphone
30:05
disappeared. So we bat me out of your
30:08
headphones. So you could have just been like
30:10
seeing some absolutely horrible stuff and being like, I love the
30:13
racism in one piece. I'm just like, yeah.
30:16
It's all right, Maybe. I love how you.
30:19
Know. No.
30:20
Yeah, we're just saying how horrible he is and how he's a
30:22
lot like Foxy and now he runs the ship.
30:25
No, But yeah, like Foxy is dangerous and silly at the same
30:28
time because when he gets the when you like slowed down, which
30:32
Luffy seems to have trouble dodging, idiot, idiot beam.
30:37
Then when he punches you, you get hit with all the punches at
30:39
once. So even though he's like a sort
30:42
of a flabby man boxer with no like, superpowers that we see
30:47
all of the hits at once actually do hurt Luffy somehow.
30:50
But yeah, I think there's some back story that Foxy was like a
30:53
boxer, but I don't know if it comes up in the anime.
30:57
It it didn't, I don't think so. I can't remember it.
31:00
No, I think I just read that online.
31:02
But yeah, Luffy finally does win with the gum gum flail, which I
31:09
don't think is ever used again, where he sort of spins his arm
31:12
around and whips it at the guy. Yeah.
31:14
He definitely doesn't use that ever again.
31:16
I don't. Think I wouldn't have thought
31:17
so. It doesn't seem that useful.
31:19
And then Luffy gets all 500. Is IT500488 members of the crew
31:26
I. Know, I know, I know we're
31:29
talking about him at the end getting them, but we don't know
31:32
how funny it was when they're all the crew when they were
31:35
deciding to get them, get them back with her.
31:37
Like, obviously he's going to pick me because I'm the best.
31:40
I'm doing all this, little old man.
31:42
And he's like, he's definitely going to pick me.
31:44
I'm going to miss all me. Friends even, even if they did
31:47
take, you know, the little chest man Afro, he would have been
31:51
more useful on the straw half crew than that little frail old
31:54
man. Nobody.
31:56
Wants to could have added in fact prepared the.
31:58
Keel, in fact. Why did Fox?
31:59
Foxy obviously picked him at some point.
32:01
Exactly, unless he just, unless he did the 500 trick again or
32:05
whatever and just got everyone. But yeah, so technically Luffy
32:10
owns all of the Foxy Pirates, but he kind of tells him to
32:14
bugger off. Basically he's like, I'm not.
32:16
Interested. I do.
32:18
I do like it because he's kind of like, right, you're all my
32:21
crew now, but basically I don't have space for you on my ship.
32:25
He doesn't even want to, right? You're all I know, you're all
32:30
sacked. Do what you want, but you have
32:32
to go home. Yeah, but any bets the Foxy
32:36
Pirates show up for the final battle though?
32:37
Like in in real One Piece in the future, they've got to.
32:42
What? The support movie, of course,
32:44
Yeah. It's there's no way this series
32:47
doesn't end with like, a big like, war between the goodies
32:50
and baddies and like, everyone Luffy's like, befriended along
32:53
the way. It's got it.
32:54
Laboon leads them. Laboon, absolutely.
32:59
And Laboon will be final battle. Yeah, there's one, however.
33:02
Straw Hat painted right on his head.
33:04
I thought that would have been washed off by now.
33:06
He's been, he's been up on that wall from for years.
33:09
For something to come back to, just because we've brought this
33:13
up, who do you think out of all of the series so far that you've
33:16
seen will be involved in the final battle apart from the
33:19
Straw Hats that we have so far? And that we've seen so far,
33:23
Yeah, there's got to be right. And the big?
33:26
Players if you've. Yeah.
33:29
And Shanks, There's one guy that I keep seeing who's got a pink
33:35
hope. Have we seen him yet of a little
33:37
bit ahead? The one with the glasses?
33:39
He walks at us. Oh yeah, you see.
33:42
Flamingo. Yeah, we saw him once he was on
33:45
that. It was like a weird, like, you
33:47
know, interstitial at the Seven Warlords thing.
33:50
The the brighter the colour they are and the more quirky the odd,
33:54
the more likely that they're a big hitter in this, I think.
33:57
Yeah, that does usually work out.
34:00
There's got to be Bond clear only because I love him so much.
34:05
Blackbeard because we didn't really see him that much and
34:08
he's got like a this weird mysterious crew.
34:11
I don't I can't tell it was good or funny.
34:14
Good foxy pirates. When he gets introduced, he's
34:18
exactly like a polar opposite of Luffy, where it's like I like
34:21
this food, I don't like the food, this drinks horrible, this
34:24
drinks nice, and it's just just, even though it's simple, it's
34:26
just the exact opposites. So Blackbeard is definitely
34:30
going to be a final boss, isn't he?
34:32
Also, with a name like White Beard, one of the most famous
34:34
pirates ever? You have to have him in the
34:36
final battle of a pirate show. Same with the other one, white
34:41
beard. Right.
34:42
Yeah, I've seen him in like a sort of like, not flashback, but
34:45
like. Ace mentions it.
34:46
But so I'm just sitting there. Shank season or something like
34:49
that. We, yeah, I can't remember what
34:51
exactly they were talking about, but we went to his ship and he
34:55
had all the the weird sexy nurses and he was on.
34:58
It was a Shanks. It wasn't a Shanks when the
35:00
white beard and told him not to let Ace go off the Blackbeard,
35:05
is that it? Yeah, Yeah.
35:07
OK. OK.
35:07
That's some good predictions there, Chris.
35:09
I like I like the line of thinking.
35:12
There's going to be some weird, weird people the the sheep
35:15
lawyer from Usopps Island. I'm going to say that.
35:18
My head is the going. Way I am the battle.
35:21
Victoria, do you think he's missed anyone that we've seen so
35:23
far? That could be like making an
35:26
appearance towards the end. Usopps Crew. 08000 men.
35:29
Yeah, with these. These three child soldiers, I
35:31
mean. OK.
35:32
I think like, no, I think the only thing Chris hasn't
35:34
experienced yet is like, I'll not spoil it, but you don't know
35:39
which ones can and can't come back yet, if you know what I
35:42
mean. Because like, there hasn't
35:44
really been a chance for any returns because you've only done
35:47
like a few arcs, so. There was a big name that you
35:50
didn't see though. I think I know who it is.
35:52
I wasn't going to see him. Do you think Boogie will be
35:55
involved in the final battle or not it?
35:56
Got to be because I remember, I'm sure you've mentioned him,
36:01
seeing stuff about him in later episodes where you're like,
36:04
you'll find out the 1000 episodes that his relationship
36:07
with Shanks or something. I mean, he's got to be.
36:11
He's also orders favorite character.
36:12
Apparently so. Is he?
36:15
Apparently I don't know why no man likes clowns.
36:18
How can he be his favorite character?
36:19
And Frankie's not about Anyway, who's M?
36:23
What about this small guy and the guy with the face tattoos?
36:26
The. Dragon.
36:28
Dragon Yeah, yeah, they've been set up in the background, isn't
36:31
it? I'm thinking that they've been
36:33
set up so when they come back in it'll be like odd.
36:36
I vaguely remember them. They were mysterious enough for
36:39
them to like do. You know anything else about
36:42
Dragon yet? Nah, no, just.
36:45
His name because he. Dropped a revolutionary army.
36:48
That's it. Definitely mysterious is his
36:51
entire bag though, like. Yeah, as far as.
36:55
I know anyway. That's all I can think of at the
36:57
minute, that he's the guy that sits in the treasure chest with
37:01
the Afro. Like I said, they did show him
37:05
in one of the last few episodes even even had a wife or
37:09
something who was also inside. I need more information.
37:12
It was just a quick one second. Shot what are the odds is 2
37:16
people fall in love? And one more obvious one that
37:20
has to show up at the end is me Hawk.
37:22
Because how? How would we finish the real
37:24
story if he doesn't finish by becoming the world's greatest
37:26
swordsman? Yeah, is is me, Hawk definitely
37:30
the greatest swordsman. Yeah.
37:33
As far as? The greatest because.
37:36
I was literally saw a bloke floating in a in a tiny boat and
37:41
being like, he beat this so obviously he's the greatest
37:44
swordsman in the world. I think he knew about him
37:46
because he's like pirate hunter and I'm pretty sure Mihawk had a
37:50
wanted poster. He must have done at some point
37:53
some. Of the seven warlords, didn't
37:55
he? Yeah, but that whole thing
37:57
hasn't been totally expanded on. But it's like a sort of, I mean,
38:00
there was in real life, governments hired pirates to be
38:04
like, can you go mess with the Spanish, please?
38:07
Yeah. Yeah, that kind of thing.
38:09
Yeah, OK. I like Chris's predictions.
38:11
You're good at it. Because I kind of just watched
38:14
this with an open mind and didn't think about anything
38:16
going forward. I think it's it's a lot
38:20
different from me watching it than people watching it when it
38:24
first came out. Even for the for the fill out
38:26
question that you were saying before, like if you got to the
38:29
if if this was getting released weekly and it was coming up with
38:34
the Foxy pirate arc, you would watch it.
38:37
Even if so, you kind of take more notice and you kind of
38:40
think ahead like, oh, how is this going to happen?
38:42
Whereas now I can kind of. I don't know.
38:47
And a lot of people think like, oh, well, it's filler, I'll skip
38:50
it. And then you miss like the odd 1
38:52
scene, which does set some stuff up because actually we forgot to
38:56
talk about it. There's a Don Flamingo and
38:59
what's that shitty guy called Bellamy where Don Flamingo makes
39:02
his friend kill Bellamy just like I'm the puppet master and
39:06
his friends like Shank. So yeah, you've actually had Don
39:11
Flamingo's Devil Fruit power sort of revealed, and that it's
39:14
like a puppet string. Do you know what's weird,
39:18
though? Because I've seen people,
39:21
cosplayers Don Flamingo. Yeah, before.
39:24
I like doing the whack. Yeah.
39:27
And so you must if, if, if there's 'cause if there's a
39:31
character that people cosplay, you must either be, look, be
39:35
beloved or hated. And I can't tell which one it is
39:39
because yeah, he might be. But like people I don't know.
39:45
He's definitely a Dick. So yeah, like skipping filler.
39:49
You might end up missing an accidental like oh here's one of
39:52
the warlords doing something like scene.
39:55
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Puppet string power.
39:59
How? How powerful do you think that
40:00
could be? Too powerful?
40:02
Yeah, actually you could be like Puppet and something like the
40:05
mare or something like that. I know it is literally a series
40:12
written by someone else but like sometimes you think why?
40:15
Why doesn't the dude just do that and then you think you
40:17
should not just enjoy it? When I was thinking with them,
40:20
with Robin, when she was doing a roller skate thing, why doesn't
40:24
she just get her arms and just squeeze the legs, the legs
40:27
together so they couldn't skate? Yeah, true.
40:30
Something like that, you know, And why doesn't she do that
40:33
more? But at the minute, I don't think
40:35
Robin's a good character. I think she's.
40:39
Here's a question for you. So right, you've asked before
40:43
about if Boogie's arms or hands went in the water and they
40:48
weren't attached to him, would that affect his body?
40:51
Because touching the sea water, if Robin squeezed someone's legs
40:55
with other arms where she creates new arms so they
40:58
couldn't skate, and then she got hit with the slow slow beam,
41:01
would the arms on the other person be affected?
41:04
And I don't know what I would need to know the judge, that is,
41:09
if someone I don't know stabbed one of her arms and it hurt her,
41:14
or do they just disappear? Because if it hurt her, it would
41:17
be an extension of herself, but if it didn't do, it'd be like a
41:20
like a projection and then they would just disappear.
41:23
That's my challenge for that one because I can't remember.
41:26
Yeah, they definitely are shown to explode into petals on
41:30
occasion, but I don't know, you know, like, yeah.
41:33
Thinking about this like just on the spot, I don't think she
41:37
would be able to move her arms and I think they would be slow.
41:39
So right Luffy gets hit with a beam in the arm and his arm is
41:43
the only thing moving slow. I think if your whole body gets
41:47
hit by it, including your head, then your thoughts are probably
41:49
slow as well. Which means that the rest of
41:51
your body moves slow, which would mean there are extended
41:54
arms move slow as well. Yeah, he definitely talks slow.
41:59
They do a lot of that where it's like.
42:00
Well, gravity effects him slower as well, yeah.
42:03
Yeah. Or else you just fall like a
42:05
brick and then start moving. I think we might be thinking too
42:08
much into this. Maybe Foxy has the strongest
42:11
devil fruit, Do you ever think of that?
42:13
If there's no way to break out of it, he could just keep doing
42:16
it over and over again on A1 on in a one-on-one fight.
42:19
You know, if he was a warlord, I think this could have been
42:23
stretched out for like. And I was just checking that see
42:27
if would actually like covered everything so far in this arc
42:30
and Google says that the beat Foxy and then encounter Admiral
42:36
Al Koichi. I can't see his name.
42:38
Man, who's on? Yeah, Is that the fruit?
42:42
Who is that? The frozen war guy.
42:45
Yeah, on the riding bike across the ice and stuff, but he's not
42:48
in it until like there's a couple more arcs.
42:50
It's like a fella Rock of Ocean's dream and.
42:53
The return of Foxy. I just when you think, oh
42:57
finally the beat Foxy, it's over.
42:59
He fucking comes back. Yeah, it's at least at least
43:03
only like a couple episodes sort of thing.
43:05
No more challenge fights. But next time I think we should
43:09
just combine those two into one The Ocean's remark and the
43:12
Foxy's. What's it called?
43:14
And then, and then we're gonna hit Akuigi on the end of that
43:18
because it's kind of like the thing that leads into the bad
43:22
stuff happening kind. Of I would call that.
43:25
What the only vaguely interesting thing about Robin?
43:29
But, you know, so far, so far. Trust the process, Chris.
43:33
If there is a member of the Straw Hats officially, you'll
43:36
learn to love them. OK, I'll give him a chance.
43:39
I did say the same thing about Moussop and I think he's great
43:43
now. He's redeemed himself in Skype
43:45
here, so I'm hoping you go Robin like develops a personality or
43:50
something she. Does there's reasons why she's
43:52
this closed off and you will learn about them very soon.
43:55
Thanks. Fair enough.
43:57
So I think that's that's it for this org, isn't it?
44:00
Yeah. Very good one, I liked it.
44:04
Yeah, for a fella org as well, it's like a proper little
44:07
palette cleanser between between serious all of us that's not all
44:13
of us are Skype here. Yeah, like all the G8 and stuff.
44:16
Yeah, absolutely. Defeat, defeating the God and
44:20
then playing ball games and it's sports day isn't this.
44:26
With cheating, with more cheating.
44:28
Yeah, yeah. But yeah.
44:31
And we've actually recorded this in A1 while we're still doing
44:35
that. Is it what A7 we're doing?
44:37
So it's called this tool. Yeah.
44:39
So it's fresh in my head. So I think should we keep doing
44:42
this so it's not just like a big for our recording?
44:47
If I've got this right, today is Saturday the no, Oh no, we don't
44:52
release on Saturday, Friday, the 23rd of January.
44:57
So also on Tuesday coming people that are in the present day
45:04
watching this. On Tuesday we will be reviewing
45:08
episode 3 of Season 1's live action One Piece and you can
45:14
catch the 1st 2 episodes that were reviewed the past two
45:17
Tuesdays. Realistically, I need it.
45:21
Realistically because we're in the past.
45:23
I need to go oh Chris shit. This Tuesday, we need to record
45:27
that extra episode the week going forward.
45:29
Yeah. So if you can remind past Chris
45:31
to do that, that would be great. Are you joining us on that as
45:35
well or? I might leave you to it, you
45:37
know, because I think, I think that's, I think that's too much
45:40
one piece for me. I need to see an animated world.
45:45
It's going to, it's going to be weird going back from because
45:49
I've seen the One Piece series before, but then I'm going to go
45:52
back and watch it after I've seen that anime.
45:55
Yeah. It's fascinating going back and
45:57
watching it though, because like you, you see stuff and you're
46:00
like, Oh my God, that's exactly how it was in the anime.
46:04
Some stuffs a bit different, like just for like Pearson, but
46:07
a lot of it is. It's like holy shit that's so
46:09
accurate. And you hear a tiny bit, tiny
46:12
bit of we are like 20 seconds and that's all you get.
46:17
I love the orchestral version of it in that, but it just makes us
46:20
jealous thinking about it because you actually went to see
46:23
the orchestra play one piece, didn't you?
46:25
Oh yeah, yeah. But they were playing like the
46:28
animated versions of everything and showing horrible sad clips
46:32
like on the giant screen. So I was like looking at Laboo
46:36
and being like Laboo while an orchestra was playing We yeah,
46:40
that was at the end with the real Japanese guy singer, not
46:43
the dub singer. Did they not stop them halfway
46:46
through? Anyway, What's What's next week?
46:50
So yeah, next week is Ocean's Dream Slash, the return of Foxy,
46:55
which I think that arc actually just finishes with the Alkuigi
46:59
thing. Yeah.
47:00
And then we'll be about 7, yeah. Real shit which are.
47:04
Which I'm loving because I'm up to there at the minute.
47:06
And then the next saga, we've got a bit of a horror saga.
47:08
Isn't it like quite dark thriller Bach.
47:11
I wouldn't say a horror, but it's like like zombie kind of
47:14
stuff. Which is.
47:16
Is that where the clip comes from?
47:17
Where the where there's a zombie cover at the ground and Luffy
47:20
just pushes it back in and goes Nope.
47:22
Possibly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:23
With Halloween Island, as I was saying.
47:27
Spooky Island, who might get that October?
47:29
By the way, thanks for thanks for joining us as usual and see
47:34
you next week that. And watch Anime Club in 10
47:36
minutes time on this same travel.
47:39
So much time travel.
