  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one Piece episodes six two through six ' twenty four.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: A touching reunion Momonosuke and Kinemon. It's time to say goodbye,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: leaving Punk Hazard the G five wiped out do Flamingo's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: sudden attack. In these episodes, our friends get on the road,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and I am reminded that nobody else knew about this
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: alliance except for Nonny between Lufy and Trafalgar Law. Oops.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: am Natasha. Thank you to Michael for commissioning this episode. Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this was a surprise, you guys. I had totally forgotten
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that nobody else was there, and for some reason, I've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just been sort of operating like, well, of course, there
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: has been some sort of communication, right that everybody is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: now up to speed on the fact that we are
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: working together for this thing, because probably Lufy just sent
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: out a quick text message or something in the midst
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the fight and just got everybody up to speed.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I sincerely do not know where my head was at,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you guys. It's it would be funny if it weren't embarrassing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so the revelations later when they come were very,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: very funny to me. So the beginning of episode six
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: twenty two has everybody together, hanging out and getting ready
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to like say goodbye to each other, but celebrate first.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Sanji is enlisting Brooke to help him build a fire
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: pit because he is going to you know, obviously be
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: cooking for a large group of people. Here we find
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: out that Brownbeard was offered if he uh, I'm trying
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to find the exact wording here, so because he has
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: been offered a treatment for the poison that he has
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: been given by Caesar if he goes to prison and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: like doesn't try to just bail and run away, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he says I would rather rotten prison than die as
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: his guinea pig. And I don't have any of my
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: people left here. And when he says I don't have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: any of my people left here, I really thought we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: were going to have a moment of him being like, yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: everybody's gone. This sucks, but it's almost without any pause
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at all that he then jumps into saying to Lufy,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it was pretty great to watch you clock Caesar though,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And I had to laugh because sometimes this show is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: so all over the place when it decides on how
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's going to handle emotion. There are times where a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: person is just absolutely gutted, and we spend a way
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: more time on it than we should, and the camera
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and the you know that music that always plays boom
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: boom boom boo bom bomb, and then we have like
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the sort of flashback as they think about the face
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of their long dead friend and the terrible things we've
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: been through, you know that. That happens so often. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: then we have things like this where somebody has just
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: watched all of their friends die and found out that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the person they have been working for for literally years
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is a scoundrel who's been poisoning them and they just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: bounce back and it's fine. I'm not even mad. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just think it's funny. But yeah, this, uh, this is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: pretty much apparently like the wrap up for brown Beard
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and Loofy or no, it's Nam. She has been told
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that we're going to hand the children over to the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Navy and is kind of incredulous about this, and Tashi
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, well that's like, what do you mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: why are you upset about it? And Nam another instance,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you guys of me not really thinking things through entirely,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: nam is like, are you fucking high? All of these
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: children were only kidnapped because the Navy didn't give a fuck,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like y'all were basically complicit in all of it. A
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: vice admiral was the one that was like in charge,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and you want me, after going through all of this
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to save them, to fucking hand them back over to you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I promised them that I would help, and I am
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: not going to break my promise. I will save them.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And as she is like ranting, she has her eyes
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: closed because she's just so upset that she's trying to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: kind of rain her temper in, And when she opens
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: her eyes, Tashigi is bowing in front of her, and basically,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Tashiki says, all of that is correct. We fucked up real,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: real bad. Please let us correct it, because if we
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: aren't able to do something right by these children, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: don't know how I'm going to be able to sleep
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: at night, basically, And I really liked this moment. Although
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: although although the fact that it's always the women characters
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that wind up being the ones that are like the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: caretakers of the child characters is a little bit trying,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's fine whatever but yeah I did. I did really
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like this moment, and just the fact that like I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: hadn't considered it from that perspective and realizing Nami is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: completely fucking correct. It kind of reminded me of the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: moment when I was just prepared to welcome USAP back
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to the club and then Zorro had to be the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: one to be like, yeah, boy was a real fucking
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like disloyal peace. Actually, maybe we shouldn't just let him
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: back in like it was nothing, because you know, sometimes
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I lose sight of things, and I know that these
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: particular members of the Navy weren't necessarily in on the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: whole thing. But I did get to see the flashbacks
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to the members of the Navy who were told about
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: these kids disappearing and didn't do anything or seemed to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: even care and said lost at sea when the children
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: were on land. So you know, I think Nami can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: be forgiven for her retocence here. So yeah, I did
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like this moment. And then jumping forward, we have you guys,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Frankie and his hair. This is such a it's such
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a fun little like background running joke. I'm like, I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: don't think I quite realized that the joke was simply
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: going to be that every time he's on camera, we're
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: doing a new thing. Until this episode, it was just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: every time we come back to him, his hair is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: doing another weird and wild thing. And I finally I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: think that previously, due to the fact that we were
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in the midst of like a fight, you know, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and there was there were enemies, and he was bringing
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: out like weapons and stuff, I think that I was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: under this impression that his hair would change along with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: whatever weapon he was using or pulling out of his
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: weird robot body. And seeing this time that we're just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: out here like mending the mast and fixing a few things,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and it's still changing all over the place, I was
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: finally like, oh, oh, we're just doing this to do this.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with like his his powers
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. And now I find it really
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: funny and also like the the directions that we go
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: with it in there's in this moment it's sort of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just two pointed tips like cat ears, but later on
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's sort of giving like a Teddy Bear sort of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: look just all over the place. So then we have
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this sequence where Trafalgar Law has been left with the kids,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and he tells Chopper to like, stay out there, I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: going to take care of this, and overhears the kids
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like yelling in like these weird sounds. So he disobeys
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and goes running in because he is a good boy
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: who wants the best for everybody, and unfortunately apparently was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: not updated on what Trafalgar's abilities are. So he sees
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Trafalgar just slicing these children into pieces, and very understandably
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, loses his mind and runs to Loofy
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: saying that Trafalgar is committing murder and please do something.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: When he does this, he unfortunately startles the hell out
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of Brook, who knocks over the samurai who has been petrified,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and your boy just breaks into a bunch of pieces.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And so now Brooke is yelling that he himself is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: also a murderer. Well, you guys, it's such a weird
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the way this goes. So first of all, we find
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: out that Trafalgar cut the kids up because that was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the fastest way to get the drug out of their system.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Ah No, I just don't really feel like that is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: explained adequately like the way he says it. The implication
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to me is I cut them open, and therefore all
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of the drug just pours out of their bodies, separate
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: from their blood. I just felt this just felt wacky
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to me, and like we had to have one last
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: moment of wondering whether Trafalgar was actually like a good
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: guy or not. And it's fine. It was just it
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: was the explanation. I thought it was going to be
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: more convincing, because they can't do that. Occasionally on this show,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they'll pull something out that I'm like, you know what,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: all right, I'll give it to you. I cannot in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: good conscience give it to him on this one. It
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: just I don't think so. So back to the Samurai
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: when Brooke is like, well, what do I do to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: fix him? And Lufy says, well, what if we gloo
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: him back together? San Shei's like, how are you to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: not understanding that he is dead? And as they are
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: standing there, this begins to crack and it breaks apart,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and the Samurai pops out and he is just fine,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and Sanji kicks him in the face. Guys, Brookes says,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: why are you kicking him? And he says, why wouldn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I We were just discussing how he's dead and now
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: he's not. It was a reflex. Oh my god, that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: one was quite good. So y'all know I was under
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: no illusions about this. I knew once I saw that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: all that was happening to our guys was that they
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: were going to be frozen by this weird fog. I knew,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of course, we are doing this so that there is
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: an easy way to undo it so that everybody is fine.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And I that is not what I have a problem with.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I just I really think if all it is is
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a casing around them that they were alive inside, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: all that has to happen is it gets broken open
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and they're fine. I really feel like Caesar Clown wasn't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: thinking ahead enough about how he was going to explain
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: this to a potential buyer, because eventually I think it's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who is it is it says, but
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: they're like Caesar told me about the one weakness of
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the gas, and I really wanted to laugh, because that
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is not one weakness. That is the gas not doing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: at all what you said it did. If everybody out
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: there is still technically alive, but just in a sort
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of coma or vegetative state, you're literally naming this gas
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Land of the Dead, and all these dudes just get
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: tipped over by somebody and they're fine, They're alive. Like,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: granted there's a time limit on it. We find out
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: later when some of the guys go and rescue dudes
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that were told to take off their hazmat suits and stuff.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: But like, it just feels so much weaker than I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: was even ready for because you know, like I said,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I knew, of course that this has got to be undone,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but it just the ease of this. I thought at
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: least it was going to be some sort of like
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: maybe another gas that they have to be surrounded in
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that would like melt away the stone, something that would
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: be that would allow for this damage to be undone,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: but wouldn't be immediately accessible to an enemy, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: something that they wouldn't know how to formulate, that would
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be kind of hidden and then we could just like
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there could be a way out that you don't just
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: do accidentally. So I am going to call major, major
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: bullshit on this as the wrap up for this arc
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because it Caesar clown in the end, of course he
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: gets got that's what we're doing with villains, but he
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: has been pretty like sensible overall in a lot of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the ways that he has handled things, and the idea
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that he would formulate a gas that only calcifies a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: shell around people but does no more harm than that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: unless they're stuck in there for a very long time,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and then he would try and sell it to some
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of the most dangerous people in the world and they
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: would be satisfied with it. I just cannot buy it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: This doesn't make any sense. It's such a silly weakness.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Please let it be something that you like, inject them
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: with anything that feels somewhat proprietary, you know. So anyway
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that is that leads to the reunion between the samurai
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and his son, who is the dragon who I had
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: completely forgotten that this kid can voluntarily turned back into
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a person because he has a devil fruit power. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: keep thinking of it as that some weird drug was
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: given to him and made him into a dragon, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: forgetting that he can just be like a person when
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: his power, you know, when he's using it correctly. So, yeah,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the two of them. The kid is like buck ass
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: naked when he turns back into a person, but his
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: father's gift means that he can just have his uh
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: clothing like made for him right there. It's great, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the kid when he gets clothed again then collapses and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he tries to say, it's not a big deal. I'm
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: not even hungry. So we get this like scene later
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and I don't remember. I'm pretty sure that eventually we
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: saw this earlier with the samurai where he was refusing
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: food just because it came from pirates, and I guess
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: that is meant to be what is happening here with
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: this kid, but it just felt kind of weird because like,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: at least when he was refusing food earlier, the samurai
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: had only just met them and didn't really know what
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: was happening, you know, and so he hadn't been given
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a chance to get the measure of them yet and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: understand like these people are decent and just relax and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: trust them for a second. And so this kid, having
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: gone through everything that he has and basically having his
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: life saved by Loofy, refusing to eat the food and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: almost like chucking it on the ground. I was just like,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: my guy, I really feel like we have gotten past
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the point where you need to be like mistrustful of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: these people. Now. I really love Sanji's reaction. You guys
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: know that even though Sanji really gets on my nerves
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and does some things that I do not approve of,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: every now and then he really speaks to my heart
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and his attitude about wasting food. When I saw that
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: kid lift the bowl of a food that Sonji has
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just poured a bunch of time into creating and get
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: ready to throw it on the floor, I was so irritated,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: like ahead of time. So when Sonji manages to stop him,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, thank God and basically tells the kid,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I will wrench your head off your neck if you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: dare to waste a drop of this? What the fuck
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is wrong with you? The kid is continuing to refuse
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to cooperate until his father sits down and begins to really,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I want to say eat, but really it's more Gorge himself,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: which I have no problem with. For the record, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the moment here of like the kid deciding to open
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: up and trust these guys and realize that his father
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: has grown to trust them, I feel like there was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: just look, I'm just gonna say ahead of time, guys
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that there were some things in these episodes that worked
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for me, and there were some things that really really didn't.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: This is one of the things that didn't work for
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: me because it feels once again like we're stretching things
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: out in a way that isn't It doesn't even really
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: make narrative sense. At this point, we should be on
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the same side. And then later on when we have
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the whole thing with the navy yelling about how the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: kids shouldn't want to say goodbye to the pirates because
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: they're bad guys. Eventually when we come to the conclusion
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of that, when all of the G five guys are saying, well,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: we have to say this stuff or else we might
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: start liking them. I really liked that as the conclusion
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: of the thing, and it made some sense in that respect,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: but it takes us ages to get there. It takes
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: absolute ages and so much repetition, so much of like
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: just slow pans across the faces of the members of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the G five all saying these different like you know
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, various versions of you can't trust these assholes,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and the G five are great, the navies where it's at,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. It was just over and over and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: over again. It just felt like we were getting essentially
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the same line, and I couldn't. It just gets so tedious, y'all.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And I have to say, I know that I have
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: complained before about some of the ways in which the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: show stretches things out, but there was a mention it
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: might have been Seraphem in the discord, about how they're
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: going to be doing an edit on the Fishman Island
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and remastering it, and they're going to edit it down
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: from something like almost forty episodes to like twenty. They're
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: basically going to have it, and I'm so like, simultaneously,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm relieved that they're doing this, and I also it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was accompanied by additional news that I think Saraphim said
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that they are going to give up on trying to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: keep up with the manga and they're going to be
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: taking a break for a little while, and I'm so
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: relieved to hear that. It just felt really when you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: guys were explaining to me how it worked and that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we were just like stretching things because that we wanted
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the timing to be the same between this and that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it it like ideally, sure that would be great, but
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: it just felt like it was not serving the story
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: at all, and I was puzzled at the fact that
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they seemed to be so preoccupied with making sure that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: these things lined up, when ultimately it felt like it
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: just kind of fucked everything up. It fucked up the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: rhythm of the story, It fucked up like the way
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that I saw certain characters sometimes. And it sounding like
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: maybe we're going to start to get away from that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. I may be like giving them
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit too much credit here, you know, I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that, but I want to believe that there's also
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: like a bit more pushback against the it seems sort
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: of breakneck pace that Oda was being forced to write at,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and the fact that the show kept nipping at his
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: heels and having to be stretched out to make up
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: for gaps with the manga, that they were like sort
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of holding that against him in a way that just
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: seemed unsustainable and unfair. And I really hope that the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: fact they're pulling away on that a little bit is
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a signal that maybe things are going to begin to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: get more reasonable, because overall, it seems like ever since
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the writer's strike, you have started to really see people
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: begin to take a bit more notice of how the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: workers behind the scenes of favor properties and stuff are
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: being treated like everybody loved the Spider Verse movies, and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: then they found out that, like the animators were being
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: pushed to work like fifteen hour days every day with
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: no days off for like three months in a row,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and practically needing to be hospitalized afterwards because they were
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: so exhausted. And it was just because we wanted the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: movie out by this date. For what is it worth,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you know, like, do you really think that you're gonna
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: make less money on this wildly popular franchise movie if
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you just release it six months later than you were
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: intending to release it. And just the number of edits
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that they were forced to do without like things being
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: consulted with each other, so there was a lot of
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: overlapping work to correct things that somebody else had supposedly
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: already corrected. So it was just it was just a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: huge waste of time and man hours and putting people
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: through a lot, and just because the timing they had
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: like this idea in their head of when the perfect
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: timing would be with no consideration on whether that was
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: actually possible or healthy for the people working for them.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: So I would like to think that maybe these changes
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: are the start of something a little bit healthier, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's possible that, like I know that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Oda is of course like getting older. Maybe they're also
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: trying to prepare for him not being around, although I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: assume somebody else will take up the pen and continue
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: after him. I don't feel like I've franchise this enormous
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: just gets dropped, right, But it would be nice they would,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: like I said, I'm probably given them more credit and
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: they really deserve, but it would be really lovely if
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we could see this trend, you know, in more places
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and find out that it is coming from us beginning
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to actually give a shit about the well being of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the creators behind some of our favorite stuff. That's all
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So all of these fucking G five guys,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: they begin to paint this line down the middle of
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the dock and insists that like, you guys can't cross
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it because you're pirates and you're bad guys. But once
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: they smell Sanjeese cooking, they immediately just set aside they're
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: misgivings about these guys and are just like, hey, what's up,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: do you need anything? And temporarily this whole feud is
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: sort of put off, So that we can have our
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: party together, and Trafalgar comes out and says to Loofy,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't even be doing this, dude, Like, we've got
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch of the other navy guys that are going
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to be on our tail. And also, of course we've
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: got joker like. We don't have time to hang around
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and eat and party. We've got to take off. So
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Lufy says, all right, everybody, I'll let him know, and
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: he just heals out, listen up, guys, we've got trouble
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: heading our way. We're out of time, so party fast
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and hard, dig in and get down, and I really
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: love it. He doesn't say, like, no party, He just says,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: let's go for it as hard as possible. Yet another
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: moment of Trafalgar Law standing there open mouthed, really thinking
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that he knew what was gonna happen. Bruh, it's your
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: own fault at this point. You have got to start
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: making these announcements yourself, my guy, It is too late
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: for you to start being in fucking surprise Pikachu face
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: when Lufy doesn't fucking listen to you. You have had
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: every warning and example that you could ask for. You
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: know what this guy is about by now do it yourself.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I am not sorry for you. That is all on you.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, everybody begins to drink and recover. I completely
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: like endorse this, even though I do have the anxiety
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of these people. I love when the samuraized kid is
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: just continuing to eat and is crying, and he says,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a true warrior shouldn't allow themselves to weep in front
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of others. Fucking Loofy pops up with the chopsticks in
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: his nose and Momo says, what are you doing, Lufy?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And he says, we're having a crazy party. Why are
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you crying? You gotta laugh it up, buddy, And he
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: just keeps doing that and gets Momo laughing. It's such
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a I wanted like his father to say something about
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: how it's absolutely fine for him to cry in front
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: of people, but it just gets completely cut off. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: this is when oosup. He's showing off what Frankie can
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: do to the kids and presses on his nose to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: make his hair do that like Teddy Bear thing. That's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: when his ears sort of round off, and Tashigi is
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: trying to soup pleasantly surprised by it. Sanji is stirring
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and has the most giant salt shaker I have ever seen.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It's very weird to me that we have this giant
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: salt shaker, but you know what, I like it. Let's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: do it. So we see like the huge line of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: people and everybody seeming to have like started to recover,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and eventually we go over to Mocha and she finally
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: wakes up and of course turns out to be all
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: right ultimately and is able to join all of their friends. So,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you guys, there is this moment let's see, Oh yeah,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: here comes the Marines come over to Smoker and they say,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: we're taking a team back to Caesar's lab. We force
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Caesar to tell us the gas is weakness. All our
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: guys are still alive, and then we have this quick
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: shot of Caesar with like pincers in his face to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: suggest that they all just tortured this guy for a minute.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: And I was genuinely like, this is kind of fucked up, guys, wow,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Like I was just not expecting for it to be.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: So there's not really much blood except there's a little
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: blood coming from Caesar's nose, but that was like there already,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: so it just seemed it was just a bit more
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: vivid a visual on what they did to him than
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I was really expecting. Of course, Also Caesar is just
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: being like, why Smoker's still alive? How does this even work?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So let's see, I'm trying to make sure I don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: miss anything from the very tail end of this episode.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Oh right, I forgot, because he says to Trafalgar, Hey, bro,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I know I made you a promise, but you have
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to know that I am not going to keep it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You're a pirate, I'm navy, that's my job. But if
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: you wanted to keep me fucking quiet, you would have
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: killed me, and you haven't. So I'm assuming that you
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: know what's going on here. And Trafalgar says, like, because
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Smoker asks, how are you using Strawhat? And Trafalgar says,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: using him? What makes you think he's not using me?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And we get a flashback to the moment where he
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: has explained about like killing one of the emperors, and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Lufy is saying there's four of them, so which one
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: are we going to go after? And Trafalgar law he's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: he says, if you really need to know, I'm talking
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: about Kaido, King of the beasts. The fact that he says,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: if you really need to know really made me laugh,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: because yeah, he really needs to know. God, you're about
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: to enter into an alleged partnership to take a guy down.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: You don't think he should know which of them you're
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: aiming to take down. You don't think that's sort of
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: crucial information that he shouldn't even really have had to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: ask what are you doing? What do you what? Why
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: are the hesitation in the first place? Like, and Lufy says,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: as long as Shanks isn't first, I'm cool with that,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: no problem. And besides, I'm already planning on crushing all
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: four emperors anyway. And that's the end of the episode.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: And I was disappointed because when when Trafalgar says, what
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: makes you think that he's not using me? And we
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: jumped to this flashback, I really thought that we were
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: getting like Loofy surprising us with his own, if not
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: necessarily a plan, then just like his desire, and Trafalgar
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: being like, okay, I I'll let you choose. As long
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: as we're killing one of them, it doesn't matter, you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And so Loofy gets to like have his way in things,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: and maybe it's related to the guy that he beat
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: up on. Uh, what do you call it? I can't
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: remember the name of the island, but you know the ones.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So Trafalgar starts telling Lufy like, just remember that all
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of these guys are really badass and Kaydo is considered
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the most powerful creature in the world, at which point Nami,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: who is by the way, still in Frankie's body in
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: the scene, says he's not even human and does not
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: get a response. I do not appreciate Trafalgar, the fact
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that you just like basically, he says, we'll work together
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: to beat Kaido. After that, our alliance comes to an end.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: If you're curious about our chances of success, they're exceptionally low.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: And I'll leave it at that. I don't want you
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: to be just ignoring some very valid questions. You want
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: to be in an alliance to kill this guy, and
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: first you didn't even want to tell them who And secondly,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: when they're like, wait, are they human? Now, you're gonna
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: also try and play that close to the best. I'm sorry, sir, no,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that is not how this works. They should get to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: hear whether a person they plan to kill is human
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: or not. I feel like that's kind of bare minimum information.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I did not appreciate this,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: and I felt like Trafalgar was asking a lot. So
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: let's see going through. Oh right, here's the thing. So
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: we finished the feast, and then we have these fucking
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: g five guys painting this line on the ground and
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: insisting that the straw hats can't walk past it. Once again,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: we're bringing this all back up again that I had
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: thought was already settled and done with. So I already
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: kind of was just like irritated that we were doing
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: this again. But then the Marines have this like screen
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that they hold up so that the children who are
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: on the boat can't see the people who saved their
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: lives to thank them, which is honestly some truly wild
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: shit to do like that is that is unhinged, guys,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with you? And like I said, this
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: goes on for ages. We've got all of this like
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: with the unfolding of this screen is at eight thirty five,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying to jump to the spot where they
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: finally like say, well what if we like them? Though?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: And it's so far along it's I think all most
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: like a full ten minutes of just this sort of
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: back and forth thing, and it was very tiresome. So
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna basically skip over it. Okay, So it's
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: not a full ten minutes, I'm sorry, it just felt
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: like at least ten minutes. It looks like it was
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: about seven minutes before final them explaining like, this is
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: why we have to insist on pretending we don't like
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: these guys so that we can keep doing our jobs.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: And then when they do part, the G five guys
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: and the straw Hats have much more of a sort
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: of friendly like, ah, next time we'll get you, you know,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: kind of energy to them, and that was acceptable to me.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I liked how it evolved, but like I said, it
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: just didn't need to be drawn out so much. How
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: many times do you think I've said that, I've covered
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: so many episodes of this show. I wonder how many
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: times I've like said that exact phrase. So then we
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: get the like obligatory flashbacks to all of the things
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: that have happened and don't need any of this either, really,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and and loofy decking Caesar and how all that shook out.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Then the ship begins to pull away the sunny, and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: we also have Frankie explaining to them that he has
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the mini Sonny. I think it's what they call it,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the smaller ship that they sent out initially, and he
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: circled back and picked it up again, which explains what
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he was doing for such a very long time, not
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: with the crew helping to fight. I'm gonna say, I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: think it is sort of strange considering a lot of
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: what excuse me, a lot of what Frankie does, even
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: though it is regarding the ship, doesn't seem to be
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the kinds of things that only he can do in
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: terms of like steering or anything like that, and considering
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the weapons that he is dealing with and how powerful
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: he is, I can't help but feel like he shouldn't
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: be the one handling the ship. But I like, as
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: soon as I start to say that, I get sort
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: of frustrated because I realized, like the other person would
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: be Chopper, and Chopper I always complain about being left
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: with the ship. I always just feel like, come on,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: let him do something, you know, So I just I
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: guess I just have to cope, you know, with the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: fact that somebody is going to have to stick with
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the ship and make sure that it's safe, because are
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: people that need a reliable way to get the fuck
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: out of here at the end of the day. And
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody being left on the ship. I
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: don't feel like there's anybody that I would say, yeah,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: that's a good one, leave them there. You know, if
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: it were not me, I would be annoyed because you
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: guys already know that I want her to be more
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: involved with the fights than she has been, so that
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't work if it were oos Up. Honestly, I think
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: he'd probably be the best choice, if only because so
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: much of the way that he fights he uses props
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and objects that he already has to plan ahead. I
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: feel like Oosup would be great at making sure that
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the ship was safe because he would be able to
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: set a ton of booby traps and he would just
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: basically home alone that shit. And I can't help but
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: admit now there's like a certain curiosity in me to
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: just be like, I would be curious how Usup would cope.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think maybe he's the only one. Robin
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: alternatively would be fine because I just don't really give
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: a shit about Robin. I've said it, and I'm just
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: gonna sort of stand by it, no shade if you
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: like Robin, But she just doesn't really do anything for me.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: And it might be the translation, but her power is
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: pretty dope, but I find her as a character pretty underwhelming,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and her power could be used quite well for defending
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the ship. And so yeah, all right, let's say oos
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Up and Robin, those are the two that I would
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, that's those are good choices. But yeah,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: just Frankie, like in particular, he just feels so strong
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that it's a wild choice. So we jump over to
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo, who is heading over to the island, and
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: he is doing that like skypath, I think is what
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: he winds up calling it. And on the way he
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: sees a ship and like a stream of smoke going
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: up from it, and he sees the heads of Baby
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: five and what do you call it? Buffalo just sitting there.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: And it's so funny because even though I know that
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Lock can cut people's heads off, the show wants me
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: to be shocked, and it's managing to still kind of
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: succeed because the way that they are sitting there with
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: their mouths sort of hanging open is very much giving
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: dead decapitated head. They do not look alive. So as
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: he is like coming in for a landing, I'm looking
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: at them like, wait, have they actually been beheaded? That's surprising.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And then they started talking and I was ear dad
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that I fell for it. I was just like, come
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: on a Tasha, you know they're not dead. What are
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: you even talking about? But yeah, this is on maybe
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: five says it was Law. The trader was in with
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: the straw hats and we let it happen. I wish
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I was dead. You needed me, and now I'm just
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: a burden. I'm sorry I failed you. So there this
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: is the life yacht that was on the tanker. I'm
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: too I'm almost too ashamed to say. But after I
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: hung up, no need I can fill in the blanks.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: All you did was follow the orders I gave you.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you hear Law's voice
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: because there's a transponder snail that has been left on
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the raft and Law wants to make a deal with Joker,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and long story short, he says, I want you to
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: resign your post as one of the warlords, and if
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: you will do that, we have a deal. I will
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: like leave this all alone. Let's see, let's negotiate. Is
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: how he starts this off. Oh I love this when
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: he's like, where are the bodies? And Law says, I
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: have no idea and I don't care, and it's like
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: he's a pretty adept liar, because uh yeah, let's see.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder how he might react if he finds out
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you can't produce smile because evidently that's who's backing the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: joker is the guy that Law is attempting to kill. Here.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: If there's anybody you'd want to keep from getting angry,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I would think it would be him. So he doesn't
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: strike me as the bargaining type. I imagine a fierce
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: battle would ensue. Buffalo says, Master, you're turning blue. So
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: this is when let's discuss the terms, like grown ups,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: what do you want to trade for? Caesar resign from
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the seven warlords? That is all. And he says, if
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I open the paper like tomorrow or the day after,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and I see that you have resigned, then we will
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: be able to set this all aside. And I let's say,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I'm only asking you to turn your back on a
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: decade of hard work and go back to being a
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: simple pirate. Unfortunately, once that happens, the navy rolls at
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: headquarters won't be able to turn the blind eye to
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you much longer. You have until tomorrow. If I look
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: in the morning paper here it is, and see a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: headline announcing your resignation from the warlords, then I will
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: call you, and the deal is on. But if I
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: don't see it, then my offer is as good as dead.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: So long and then he hangs up. This is the
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: kind of thing that I find only works if you're
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have like a pretty childish understanding of things, Because
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: at this point, do Flamingo would have been so embedded
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: in everything that even if he did resign, there are
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: there have to be so many folks up and down
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: the chain who have gotten deeply involved themselves and also
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: become like de Pendent on the money that comes in
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: from it, that they would all want to preserve this
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: as well. So even if he did become a pirate,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I bet they would find a way to all work
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: together and make sure that nothing happened and he would
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: be able to carry on just as he had been.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, for the sake of the show, we'll
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: assume that the way law is outlining this is really
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: how it would work. Now, the question is do I
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: think that Law actually means it when it comes to
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: this deal. I don't. I think that Law can be
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: slippery and do what he feels like doing sometimes, and
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: I would not be at all surprised if he got
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Doflaminga to do this and then was like Caesar, what
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: never heard of him? I don't. I don't know what
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: you're talking about. I just feel like that seems wane.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: It really is sort of up in the air here
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: because I just still don't really feel like I have
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: a good idea who Law is or what he wants.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: So I think that's where I'm sticking is that Law's
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: overall sense of morality is still kind of nebulous for me.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, if he were a different type of
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: person who were more like overt with saying what he
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: thought was right and wrong, maybe I would think, oh, yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: he's definitely not going to hand Caesar over because he
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: will know what it means for more of that, like
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: gas to be made and the damage that do Flamingo
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: and Caesar could do, and he wouldn't want to unleash
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: that on people. And I don't feel comfortable saying that
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: because I'm not really sure how much law cares about
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: other people. It feels to me like something else is
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: driving law, and that it's it doesn't have anything to
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: do with like real justice or anything like that. That
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: almost maybe there is something personal going on, but I
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: don't have any idea what I even mean by that,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: you know, So just overall, I keep getting stuck trying
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: to guess where he's coming from and what he's thinking.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so that's how that episode ends. And then
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: we go to the third one, which spoilers the G
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: five wiped out Do Flamingo's sudden attack. Yes, it's pretty
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: much what it sounds like. It's mostly do Flamingo landing
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the G five and just absolutely whooping.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Smoker and his men try and like step in and
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: stop him from completely taking a Smoker out, at which
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: point do Flamingo basically says, well, I want I need
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: to kill him because I don't know how much he
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: knows and what he would share, and I don't know
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: how much any of you knows either. So if you're worried,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: because they start saying like he's the only one who
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: really believes and us or cares about us? What are
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: we supposed to do if he's dead? And do Flamingo's like, oh, well,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: don't worry about that, because I'm gonna kill you too,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: so who cares? Which I will confess didn't make me laugh.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: And this guy's immediately going, that's not necessary. I'm sure
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: it's I'm sure it's not. But yeah, So that just
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: that made me laugh a little bit because the way
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: that this scene wraps up is that Dop Flamingo is
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: just about to kill and I put that in quotes smoker.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I keep wanting to say a Kainu, but it's Aokig.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I get their names mixed up so bad. They both
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: start with A. They both have like four syllables, and
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I just keep doing that. But Aokig shows up and
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: is like, hey, Brah, what's you're up to? Because that's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: an old friend of mine. So I would prefer it
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: if you did not cave his head in like you
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: are talking about doing. And the way he just starts
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: it off with like, pardon me for the intrusion is
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: very funny. I just really like a o Kiji in
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: this way that is so uncertain, you know, he like
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: tickles my funny bone in a way, and the fact
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: that him being here will make Do Flamingo back off
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: is a testament to the kind of power that he has,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: because Do Flamingo does indeed let go of smoker and
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: stand up and face him. So that's a wrap on them. Now.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: If we go over to the straw Hats in this episode,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: we get a delightful bit here where uh what's his name?
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Chopper is trying to heal Caesar, and at one point
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Sanji kicks Caesar and Chopper just says, I'm still treating him.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Just wait until I'm done. I did find that fun.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: So I already talked a little bit about how the
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: bomb gets dropped, about Loofy and Trafalgar being in league
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: with each other, and we kind of get interrupted as
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: everybody is like putting two and two together about this.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Let's say I'm trying to find the spot where's oh, yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: the Samurai. We are in the midst of a grave
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and truly significant journey. To negotiate with the Navy through
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: their red tape would surely be a waste of time.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: We shall depart at the first island with a harbor
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: that you come across in the meanwhile, please let us
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: stay on board, And of course Lufy is like, absolutely
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: not a problem. Nomy says, you can reimburse us for
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: travel fair later. Oh Nommy never change. So yeah, this
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: is this is when law takes center stage and he
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: explains to them about this whole thing, and oh right,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: I forgot that we like temporarily go back to the
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: island and them talking about the protective suits that Vega
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Punk made and that they would have stood up to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the gas and Caesar knew that and that's why he
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: told them that the suits would only slow them all
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: down and not do them any good, so they may
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: as well take them off. And the ben like Vega
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Punk is mentioned by a few people in here, and
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I am just really interested in meeting this dude. I'm
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: just trying to like imagine what the fuck Vegapunk is like.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: And after all this build up and the weird shit
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: that he is involved in him being mentioned constantly for
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: so long, it better be good. He'd better be crazy looking.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: So these dudes are going out and are explaining that
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: all of the guys out there, even though they're paralyzed
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: in their shells, they're in a coma like state. But still,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: we've only got twelve hours to find them before the
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: poison does kill them. So any gas statue you find,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: bust it wide open. We're gonna save every last one
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: of them. And that is where we jump over to
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: brown Beard and him saying, I'll never forget what you've
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: done for us. As soon as I find my followers
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: and save them, I promise I'll come back and turn
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: myself in. And when once he takes off, this is
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: when we have the uh, the attack from Do Flamingo.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, and I forgot that Do Flamingo chucks
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: the heads of these two at their bodies so that
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: they just finally like connect. That is such a wild
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: way to start things off. That is really really fun.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: I should have really led with that because that was
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: a good moment that deserved a little bit more respect.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he like lays everybody out with hockey instantly,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: and it just feels like people being able to use
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: hockey is just not fair, you know, That's just that's
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: just such an incredible disadvantage. Oh man. So, jumping back
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: to the straw hats, Nami is noticing that the ship
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: is like tilted at this weird angle and that the
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: ship is shifting wild all over the place. And I
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: think it's law who says something like, yeah, we're on
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: like a water hill. It's not a big deal. They're
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: very common, and hoos Up is saying, yeah, a sea
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: hill here it is. It's best if we don't try
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to go against the current. The middle needle on your
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: log post should be pointing us in the exact direction
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: direction of dress Rosa, but don't steer us right there.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: We want to take a roundabout way. It'll work out
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: best for us. So this is when Robin says, I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: saw you talking to someone on a transponder snail earlier.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Why don't you tell us who it was? I do
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: really love Robin for that, just being like, all right,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: you know what you want to play, know it all
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: and give orders and shit, you're gonna fucking tell us
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: some things, and just putting him on blast in front
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: of everybody. I like. The reason that I enjoyed it
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: so much was the fact that that's like one of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: the first moments that we see Trafalgar seeming to be
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: really affected by somebody calling him out, Like he hunches
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: his shoulders and seems almost embarrassed, And I just really
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: really liked that because, my guy, you're on a ship
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: that is somewhat small with a lot of people, and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: you decided to like make a fucking phone call and
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: thought nobody was gonna notice. Of course they fucking noticed,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: you goon, you absolute idiot. So this is when the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: explanation of the whole thing comes out and us up
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: when he says, lufy, can you explain this alliance to us?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: And then he tries to vote against it, and Nami,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Chopper and usap they all vote, and then it's followed
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: up with Brooke just dead panting saying, do you guys
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: really think that's going to make any difference? I really
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: love that moment so much because it is so pointless.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Why are you even fighting it, you guys? I mean,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: you know who you're working with. Two, you're even worse
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: than Law if you think that you're going to be
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: able to change the course of things now, it's too late.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: It's so very much too late. Bless them. Oh yeah,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: here's Hanjie handing out like soup and tea and whatnot.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: He goes up to Law and says, try not to
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: act too surprised if it turns out there's a bit
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: of a difference in how you and Loofy define the
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: term alliance. You've been warned, and as he walks away,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Law is just sweating. Honestly, Law, you shouldn't be sweating
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: because you have known. You should have been known by now.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: This shouldn't even be a surprise. But I did really
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: really like that. And let's see, at least the whole
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: kidnapping thing makes sense now, considering it's not Lufy's style. Usually,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: if he'd brought this weird sheep on board, I would
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: have assumed he wanted me to throw it in a
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: pot and cook it up for him. You know, I
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: had a moment of just not knowing what he was
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: talking about, and then I realized, like the horns that
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: are on Caesar's head, like he's got such wild hair
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: that honestly, I stopped noticing the horns after a little bit,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: and they just didn't even register anymore. So I genuinely
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: was like, what is he mean? And then I realized
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, duh, of course, And this is
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: when Caesar tries to be like you guys don't stand
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: a chance, and then Sanji kicks him in the face.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: So the episode ends with Law saying, you executed stage
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: one of the plan. While you were doing that, I
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: destroyed the machine manufacturing the chemical sad. Most of the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: great pirates in the New World rule over their own territories,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: governed by their subordinates. They've got a countless number of followers,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and they reign over all like an enormous criminal syndicate.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: It's nothing like anything you have dealt with before. Trying
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: to take them down with a single pirate crew won't
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: even get you close enough to see their captain's base.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: With that said, they still have to operate underground. All
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: of their deals are carried out in secret, the only
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: way they can safely avoid naval attention. And the most
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: trusted among them, with the most power and influence is
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Do Flamenco. His underground alias is Joker, and out of
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: all Jokers clients, he's got one who's more importan than
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the rest. His biggest spender is one of the four Emperors, Kayido,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: king of the Beasts. And there you have it. That's
• 1:05:10
