This is an unspoiled Network podcast. This is Spoiled Me, covering one piece
0:13
episodes four twenty ha ha ha and four twenty one, The Friends Whereabouts Bridging
0:19
the Islands and Vicious Vegetations and The Friends Whereabouts a Negative Princess and the King
0:26
of Demons. In these episodes, our friends, the rest of our friends,
0:34
a lot of them, are having very very interesting adventures fraught with all
0:39
sorts of social issues and perils. And then there's us up. Welcome to
0:47
spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:10
very much to Gabriella for commissioning this episode. Oh wait, no, I'm
1:14
so sorry. Gabriella is the one who did the commissioning, but I am
1:17
meant to credit Michael. Thank you Michael for commissioning this episode. I actually
1:23
need to look at that a little bit more closely than I have been.
1:26
I recognize that I am not awesome at checking who should be credited versus who
1:32
did the commissioning, so apologies on that, but thank you Michael, if
1:34
you're out there. So these episodes, we you know, predictably, I
1:42
knew that we were going to wind up finding out what happened to everybody else.
1:46
I didn't expect it to be so uneven in terms of like how much
1:49
screen time each of them gets, because us UP really gets a very short
1:56
I mean, you know, I say that I didn't look at the actual
1:59
time, but correct me if I'm wrong. I think us Ups was the
2:04
shortest out of everybody's. I'm take a sip of ice coffee here. I'm
2:07
so sorry, guys. I've been behind all day today and I'm also like
2:10
really tired, so I'm just trying to caffeinate myself get through it. I
2:16
hate when I have this sort of this feeling of needing to like pet myself
2:22
up when I am going to talk about stuff that I'm actually excited to talk
2:25
about, because it just feels like it just feels rude to have a lack
2:31
of energy regarding a thing I otherwise i'm really excited over. It's like my
2:38
spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So let's start with Robbins.
2:45
Hers is the weirdest, and I want to, like, you know,
2:50
always ask for clarifications from you guys regarding things just to be sure I'm
2:54
understanding correctly. Is Robin the only one of our friends that has wound up
3:05
in the East Blue or did I just like miss the mention because it feels
3:12
like that's the first time that I heard it, But it may just be
3:15
the first time I really clocked it. The fact that she's in a country
3:22
on the East Blue is really alarming to me. It's even more alarming than
3:28
Nami being on like Skypeia. At least we didn't get to Skypia until we
3:32
crossed over to the Grand Line. But I don't well, she's not Skypia.
3:38
She's on a sky island. Technically not all sky islands are Skypia.
3:44
So fine, but that's a long way. Man. Gus says, Robin
3:52
is the only one in the East Blue, but I believe Chopper's kingdom is
3:54
in the South Blue. Oh I didn't catch that. Huh, Well that's
4:01
interesting. So the whole thing with Robin here, she is also in a
4:11
snowy climb. Actually, you know what I have to forget. I keep
4:15
forgetting that each of these episodes starts off with some time with the Snake Princess
4:19
and Lufy, so we have got to check in with them before we actually
4:25
talk about Robin. But this this, I want to be more frustrated with
4:39
the storyline of the snake Princess. I want to feel like more more offended
4:46
by the fact that this like incredibly powerful woman is being treated like a jealous
4:51
child, and I can't muster it up. I just don't care. It's
4:58
funny. It's funny in a way that I know is inherently problematic, and
5:04
that is an extremely powerful aloof woman who thinks extremely highly of herself has been
5:15
brought low by her adoration of a very unhot dude. I won't say that
5:25
Lucy's not extraordinary, I won't insult him, but I will say that he
5:30
is not somebody that you would look at twice on the street very likely.
5:35
And that's unfortunately, like a fantasy of a lot of dudes is making.
5:42
A powerful woman decides to set everything aside because she is so into you that
5:49
she stops caring about her own things entirely, and her entire identity begins to
5:55
center around how much she cares about you and would do anything for you.
6:00
So I understand that the fantasy here is actually kind of gross, and because
6:10
of who she is, it makes it sort of worse in terms of her
6:13
The power structure on this island and this all women island, and you know
6:16
all of that. I can see that, but I cannot find it in
6:26
myself to be particularly upset by it, because it's so absurdly over the top
6:31
the way they're playing it with her, that it's just always funny. So
6:38
here we have her, she's gotten a ton of food for Lofy, and
6:42
every time he speaks we see. It's interesting because before, when he would
6:47
say something, she would sort of think to herself, that is exactly how
6:51
he would say it, because it was in her fantasy him responding to something
6:59
that she had an actually set out loud. It was always something like,
7:02
you know, that she was being more eloquent and whatever than she was actually
7:06
being at the moment, and her imagining how he would have responded if she
7:12
had had the guts to say that or whatever. But what's weird is that
7:15
here what she's imagining seems to be less that she is like coming up with
7:23
fictional scenarios and more that she is putting words in Lufy's mouth. Like it's
7:30
almost like when we go to the version of things where he's surrounded by roses
7:34
and starbursts and whatever. It's not a fantasy. It's almost just us getting
7:42
to see what she sees. So when she's like, how is it and
7:47
he says, uh, you know, it's really good. It cuts immediately
7:51
to him in that like blurred state, and he is saying, thank you,
7:58
darling, And when we cut back to her, she does not say
8:07
that is what he would say. It's like she has fully crossed over to
8:13
seeing the situation the way that she wants to see it. So she asks
8:20
him if he wants tea. He says, sure, I'll bruce him up.
8:26
Then, so why don't you tell me a little about your friends?
8:28
I don't know a thing. Of course, you don't have to if you
8:31
don't want to. I'm just making conversation. It's not like I'm trying to
8:35
dig into your personal life and find out every little thing about you, which
8:39
I did think was kind of cute. So he's wondering who of his friends
8:45
to start off talking about, and then he names Nammy and Robin. Those
8:50
sound like girls names, And when the camera pulls out, she's pouring hot
8:56
water that has suddenly appeared directly to the tabletop. She's entirely missing the tea
9:01
pot, and that we get her imagining I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you
9:09
and I can't be together, and she's saying, but tell me why,
9:15
lufy, and we see this like tearing happening between them on the screen and
9:20
this confetti falling as she's because I'm already with Nammy and Robin. Nammi and
9:28
Robin giggle and we come back and she's like made the tea, but now
9:35
she's pouring it into a cup and it's overflowing and she's thinking to herself,
9:39
I don't care. I won't give up that easily, and he just says,
9:43
you really suck at making tea, and that's the end of the scene
9:48
between the two of them for this episode. Honestly, that was very funny.
9:54
You really suck at making tea, It's true she does. So then
10:01
we find Robin. Like I said in the snow, a little girl finds
10:07
her. Everybody's being found by children, it feels like. And this girl
10:13
brings her back to this compound is like the best word I can come up
10:18
with. There are guards. One of them is like drinking from a flask
10:22
and doesn't see them as they pass by, and it's clear that they're having
10:26
to sort of keep a low profile. There's nobody on the streets but guards,
10:31
and when they she is brought into the building, there are these women
10:37
who are gathered and it seems like all women. I don't know if I'm
10:41
misreading that or if it's just because they all are wearing like the same identical
10:46
outfit that it's just difficult for me to like see. But it might be
10:54
that in this workplace people are separated by gender. But this girl comes in
11:03
and they are upset with her for having to like gone out without checking with
11:07
any of them. Apparently this is super against the rules, pretty dangerous and
11:11
the sort of thing that she should really know better. And her name is
11:15
Saran or Soren, I don't remember which emphasis. But these women are looking
11:24
at Robin and are worried about what her deal is, you know. They
11:31
all think maybe she's a refugee, refugee or a fugitive, and they're like,
11:39
why would she come here? This is not the place to go.
11:43
And Robin's sort of thinking, okay, you know what, I'm just gonna
11:46
take off. You guys clearly don't want me here. Sarron stops her,
11:52
and one of the women who's got pigtails a stick out to each side.
12:00
She is the one who winds up giving them up later. She's the snitch.
12:07
She is talking to Saran and is like, you aren't the only one
12:11
who lives here. It's going to be all of our asses if they find
12:15
out you've brought this woman here. I do not want to deal with what
12:20
they're going to do to us. And this little girl is saying, I'll
12:24
take the blame, which is noble and everything, But once you find out
12:30
what they do to people, to question them, like they torture them.
12:33
We don't get details on exactly what that looks like, but it's implied that
12:37
it's like pretty awful physical torture. All I could think was like, they're
12:43
not going to let her do that. You know. They're asking where do
12:48
you plan on hiding her? And she says she'll stay in my room in
12:52
the loft upstairs. And everybody's like, well, maybe for like a day
12:56
or two she would be okay up there, but this snitch, you can't
13:01
be serious. We should turn her in before it's too late and we get
13:05
caught now, they think, and I understand this, the fact that she's
13:15
in the building at all, it's too late they're going to get in trouble
13:18
for having let her in to begin with. I don't know that that's true,
13:22
but everybody is clearly very cowed by the situation. And when Saron sort
13:30
of like presents as if she's going to stay longer than that, they're like,
13:33
dude, first of all, no, we can't do that. You
13:37
know how dangerous that is. But secondly, she shouldn't want to stay here
13:41
for longer than that, because this is a bad place. She don't need
13:43
to be here. So up in the loft, Saran is making Robin this
13:52
little bowl of rice, and it's like, clear, this is almost all
13:56
she's got, you know. It's interesting that she has her own separate sort
14:01
of living space. And I don't know if this is sanctioned or if people
14:05
just let her have this because of her being a child or what. But
14:11
she says that she hasn't left here since she was born, and so the
14:16
smell of the outside world on Robin smells really good to her, and she's
14:20
like, did you come from a warm climate? And when Robin says,
14:24
yeah, on a ship, the little girl gets really excited and starts asking
14:31
all these questions about like what the birds and the flowers were like, like,
14:35
what was everything like? And it turns out that this little girl draws
14:41
pictures of the world and they're pretty accurate actually in a lot of cases.
14:48
So the bell rings in the middle of their meal, and Robin's like,
14:54
really, you have to go to work now. It's the middle of the
14:58
night. And the girl says, We've got a work all day and all
15:01
night, but I'd love to hear about your travels when I get back,
15:07
and Robin says, all right, I'll be here. But you can see
15:11
her sort of this feels like a real bad situation. And she's chilling by
15:16
this window, hidden with only the lantern and this is like otherwise the room's
15:22
just got like packing boxes in it, and she pulls out the Viverra card
15:26
for Raley and is watching it, and it's sort of like, I don't
15:31
know if I'm going to be able to meet up with them, what am
15:33
I even gonna do? She falls asleep. There's a storm the windows like
15:41
literally rattling, and that we get this sort of fuzzy I don't know if
15:50
it's supposed to be that like Robin is dreaming, or if it's just meant
15:56
to be a vague impression of what it was like for them while they weren't
16:00
with Robin. Regardless, she wakes up and Sarran is just coming back and
16:06
it's clear, like the sun is coming up, and Saran says, we're
16:11
trying to build a bridge. This country is nothing but one giant bridge,
16:17
and we get a view from the outside, and indeed, this bridge goes
16:22
on and on and on, and it's supposed to connect islands and all of
16:29
the like all of the buildings are located on this bridge and there's no land.
16:38
I don't know how they're doing this, but she says the construction has
16:42
been going on for centuries. And when Robin tries to ask her further questions,
16:52
Saran is like, do you mind if we don't talk about this and
16:56
talk about like cool stuff like where you're from and what you've seen, because
17:00
honestly, I'm much much more interested in that. So Robin tells her about
17:08
where she's from, the different islands she's visited, and this little girl is
17:12
so excited about it, and she goes and gets these really cool it looks
17:19
like sort of charcoal drawings that she has done on wood. She says,
17:25
I drew them all from my imagination since I've never been outside Tequila Wolf.
17:33
You know what I'm gonna say right that name is bananas tequila Wolf. What
17:42
Like, I'm almost offended because this place sucks so bad and tequila Wolf is
17:52
like one of the cooler names this show has had for a location. And
17:56
how come it had to be wasted like on this work camp spot. I'm
18:03
very pissed. I really want to know, you guys, what Oda's process
18:11
is for coming up with the names of locations. It's weird. It's weird,
18:19
Like I will never get over in his lobby. That's just such a
18:23
strange one, you know, like lobby. It feels almost like a translation
18:33
thing because like a lobby is a place technically, so if you just searched
18:38
for names of places, I could see the word lobby coming up and not
18:44
understanding the context that's necessary for that using that. But that's really the only
18:51
one of that type that I can think of where it's like really a place
18:57
otherwise, And it just feels so strange. Then, And what was the
19:04
one that where what is the place that Lufy is heading to? Now?
19:11
The name of the spot that Ace is being held captive in Gus is saying
19:17
whiskey peak to quila impelled down. Whiskey peak is like totally makes sense.
19:23
Whiskey peak feels like a real place. That's a name that I would not
19:26
doubt is out there somewhere. You know, I would not be surprised if
19:30
there's like a restaurant chain or something called whiskey peak or just that sounds.
19:37
Whiskey is a word that is used for a lot of like folksy kind of
19:47
things, weirdly, and peak is just that is the name of a place
19:52
in a lot of maps, I accept whiskey peak. That's actually, out
19:56
of all of the names of place is probably the one that is the most
20:02
real sounding. Impel down, Like the Downs are a place I think in
20:14
England, and I think that's like a type of meadow or something. I'm
20:17
not sure, so maybe down works in that sense. Impel I don't really
20:26
get what that means or why that's a thing. But like tequil a wolf,
20:30
it's just like a mad libs of two random words. It wolf would
20:37
be the descriptor if you did like wolf peak, that I would see as
20:41
a real place. Wolf's peak that sounds real. But if you say te
20:48
quel a wolf. That's really not anything that said again, it sounds cool,
20:56
it just doesn't make any sense as like a place name. And it's
21:00
weird because, like, you know, not all of our locals are like
21:06
this. Some of them are just like Sabiode. That's just a name,
21:11
period. There's no attempt to sort of like add words to it, to
21:15
give it a more intense sort of title. It's just Sabode and that's it,
21:22
and Alabasta same thing. It's just a name with the name of a
21:26
whole country, and that sounds like it's just, you know, I don't
21:33
know how to explain what I'm saying. It's just it feels like some of
21:36
the names I can completely accept at face value. This is what it's called,
21:41
and I never even think about it, And then their names that come
21:44
up that I'm just like what I also kept thriller bark. I feel like
21:52
a bark is a type of ship. Am I wrong? Did I look
21:56
this up? I feel like I looked this up at one point, and
22:00
so that like wound up sort of making sense, even though it does hit
22:07
the ear really weird. Initially, Sorry, Gus is saying, have you
22:15
ever looked up the weirdest city names in the US. There's stuff like Kingdom
22:18
of Satan, Ohio. But see, you're not like Gus. What I'm
22:25
saying is it's not the names of places that are wild sounding. Kingdom of
22:32
Satan is an insane name in what it means, but those words go together,
22:40
Kingdom of Blank, that's just a name that makes sense. If this
22:47
was Kingdom of Tequil a Wolf, it would still be insane, but there
22:52
would still be a feeling of like, Okay, you know, it's just
22:56
te quill a Wolf, which frankly sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie or something.
23:04
It doesn't. Those words don't mean anything, and if you heard somebody
23:11
saying something about Tequila Wolf in a conversation, you would never, in your
23:15
wildest dreams believe that was the name of a country, you know what I'm
23:18
saying. So it's just like, that's the part that I keep stort of
23:22
being like, what is the naming convention that he goes with at any given
23:26
time, because it's all over the place, and sometimes it works completely and
23:30
I don't even think about it, and then other times I'm just like every
23:34
time I remember, it's like I'm hitting a wall again, Samodi means bubbly,
23:41
slash soapy. I think I like that. I mean that makes sense,
23:45
okay, But yeah, like some of the names in the US,
23:49
like of towns, are really funny. I will never when I first moved
23:52
down here. First of all, there's just like the americanization of words that
23:57
happens with the names of places. There's a place near me and it is
24:02
spelled the town is spelled c E l I n A Selena. Right.
24:11
You look at that and you're like, Selena. It's not the name of
24:15
like, it's not spelled the same way as the pop star. But it's
24:18
very clear, in my opinion, how that's meant to be pronounced. But
24:22
they don't. In Texas, they say Salina, which is very close to
24:27
Saliva, which I fucking hate. It's awful, it's gross. I hate
24:33
it. But we also have a town right near me named flower Mound f
24:41
l o w er Mound. I mean, that's like one step away from
24:49
being a one piece location because mound. Who's using the word mound to describe
24:56
their town. That's a horrible word. It makes sound like a trash heap,
25:02
just like a pile. And when you call a place a pile.
25:07
That's like a British word to mean something's a dump. Why would you do
25:14
that? Oh, oh, Satan's Kingdom, Massachusetts. That's funny. I
25:22
really wonder what it's like to lose someplace like that. I remember that one,
25:26
but I think there were a lot of others that were words that just
25:29
didn't make sense together. I'm willing to believe that. But you know,
25:33
it's the sort of thing where, if you're writing fiction and you can do
25:36
whatever, choosing this instead of it just being something that happens because of fucking
25:41
weirdos who found it a town two hundred years ago. You're choosing the names
25:45
of these places, and to choose this, it's just really funny. So
25:49
anyway, whiskey peak I stand by as the most believable name, but tequila
25:57
wolf is the least believable name by far. I think that the whiskey thing
26:03
too. In the US, because we had prohibition, their whiskey got like
26:15
used as the name for all kinds of things because of locations being key for
26:22
bootlegging and stuff. So I think that's why whiskey is used so much more
26:26
often here. But you don't, you know, tequila is made with ingredients
26:32
that we did not farm up here, so we didn't have bootlegged tequila going
26:37
on most of the time, and I think that's probably why tequila is not
26:41
something that's I wonder if it's something that gets used more in Mexico or you
26:47
know, in Central America in general. But I don't believe there was ever
26:49
a prohibition there, so I don't know how much there had to be secret
26:53
locations and sneakiness and stealth and stuff with that. I'm sorry, Gus.
27:03
There's a river slash county near me named Poudre. Is how I'm reading it
27:07
p O U d R. I think it's Spanish, but people pronounce it
27:12
pooter. I have no idea if that's correct or an americanization, though I'm
27:22
gonna go and hazard guess that is not correct. Like I said, I
27:27
went with Pudre because I'm thinking about it almost looks like Padre. So Pudre
27:34
is my automatic, like you know, Pooter. Why are we like this?
27:42
Why do we need like? Is it purposefully making things sound like body
27:47
parts like saliva? Why are we like this? I just I want answers
27:56
anyway. Okay, Sorry, guys, I know I got totally. So
27:59
these these drawings that she says she's doing it from her mind, but she
28:03
says, whenever I'm drawing it, it makes me feel like I'm there,
28:06
Like I'm actually visiting that island, and I forget all about being stuck here,
28:10
and these places look like real places. At one point, she's drawn
28:15
Sky Island and I love this. This little girl is like, wait,
28:18
that's a real place. And can you imagine you, guys, if you
28:22
were just like a little kid who draws fun shit and you drew a town
28:26
with all the castles in clouds and somebody was like, oh, I've been
28:30
there and you found out that this was like a real thing, Oh my
28:36
lord, I would lose my whole mind. And she's like, will you
28:40
tell me all about it? And all of the ladies, it turns out,
28:44
are like right nearby, and they're like, we would also like to
28:47
hear about this, actually, if you wouldn't mind, And she's the little
28:55
girl kind of pauses here and it's like, our lives are very hard here.
29:00
But maybe making this bridge is sort of a noble thing because it'll help
29:04
connect the world and once it's done, everybody will get to see so many
29:10
beautiful islands whenever they want. Maybe you know, it will help others travel
29:15
all over the world, which is what I would want to do. And
29:19
we get this really cute little bit with her, like in this she's in
29:26
like yellow overalls and she's standing in one spot painting and there are these islands
29:32
that are being connected by rainbows. Again, it's all been very Lisa Frank
29:37
lately, and I'm into it. I'm behind this, And I kind of
29:44
was like, she's really trying to put a positive spin on this thing that's
29:48
like objectively so horrible, but I can respect it, Okay, Gus says,
29:56
I looked it up. Apparently it's the correct pronunciation pooter. I do
30:00
not believe you. And it's French for powder. I don't believe it as
30:06
I don't know. I just I really would like you to get a second
30:11
opinion on that pronunciation. That's all I'm saying. You have to find like
30:15
a YouTube video, one of those ones where they just say like a single
30:19
word there. I think I've mentioned this another podcast, but somebody made like
30:25
a spoof channel like that where they claim to be helping you learn how to
30:30
pronounce things, but they actually give you the wrong pronunciation on purpose, and
30:36
I think that's hysterical, and I like want to be mad at the person
30:38
for doing that and duping unsuspecting people, But also that's very funny. So
30:47
Robin like this. This is a really sweet little conversation. The girl is
30:52
so excited, and the fact that these other women are deeply beaten down and
31:00
sad and want to be part of it is just heartwarming and heartbreaking. Then,
31:07
of course we cut to the snitch outside, who says, don't forget
31:12
we made a deal. As this guy walks away, I held up my
31:18
end, so you have to get me out of this country. Now we
31:22
don't see him reply to her, and I really have to wonder if she's
31:29
actually going to get her end of the deal, Like how much do you
31:41
trust? This is the thing when you have the sort of system that relies
31:47
on people ratting each other out the what's the word I want to say,
31:53
the compensation for turning their fellow workers in. You have got to prove that
32:02
compensation is real, that there's a reason to expect it, or else people
32:07
aren't going to continue to provide you with information. So if we were looking
32:13
at this from a totally rational standpoint, they would get her out of there,
32:17
because if people knew going to them with secret info actually wound up backfiring
32:23
and you don't get anything out of it, nobody would would do it anymore.
32:28
But the way that this universe seems to work is very much we want
32:32
to show the bad guys are really bad guys in the short term, and
32:35
we don't consider the long term of any of our approaches to things. So
32:42
I'm going to guess, also for the sake of like immediate gratification, that
32:46
this girl gets what she deserves. She's not getting off of this island or
32:52
this bridge or whatever. So we see the raid and all of the these
33:00
men are just completely tossing the place. Apparently the women who are up in
33:06
the loft, it's like they aren't aware the loft exists. I'm not totally
33:10
sure, like immediately whether they know to go up there, but you know,
33:17
we've got the whole place being turned over, and eventually they find their
33:24
way up there. You know, she's harboring a suspicious woman, somebody is.
33:30
There are too many people out there opposed to the construction of the bridge.
33:32
Now turn her over. And Robin has snuck out one of the windows
33:38
and is sort of hiding out on the roof why so she can hear this
33:45
whole conversation happening, but she's not actually in the room. She's not like
33:49
hiding behind a closet door or something. And this lady is telling him like,
33:53
we are tired and just want to go to sleep. We aren't hiding
33:58
anybody, now leave us alone. And some dude just like comes up and
34:02
knocks her to the floor, and the head guy in charge is like,
34:08
well, if you want to do this the hard way, we could do
34:12
that too. If you're familiar with our interrogation tactics, I guess you're gonna
34:17
get what you want. One of the slavers actually does open a window and
34:24
look both ways outside, and I was sort of impressed at the fact that
34:28
he was that thorough, because I feel like a lot of people would not
34:32
have bothered. He does not find anything. Robin likely would have left some
34:37
footprints in the snow, but you know, probably let's just say she did
34:42
it so high up he can't see them from where he is. So they
34:45
find the drawings of this little girl's islands, and this dude laughs at her
34:51
like it's the funniest thing he's ever seen. That's some sixth sense of irony.
34:55
You've got their kid, and it's just such a weird thing to like,
35:01
Oh, I'm going to personally enjoy mocking this child's dreams of eventually like
35:07
being somewhere else. And I want to say that it's beyond belief, but
35:10
it's not, because they're just bully assholes out there who are just like this.
35:15
And he holds up each of these drawings in front of her, and
35:19
again they're on pieces of wood, so when she doesn't answer, he just
35:23
starts breaking them in half, just to push her to the edge. And
35:32
he says, if you want off to quel a Wolf, cooperate and I
35:38
can get you out of here. And she says, I don't know.
35:45
I appreciate this as much as it would be easy to just be like,
35:49
fine, I'll just tell you, because I really do want off. She
35:52
isn't willing to just betray Robin immediately. I wouldn't have been that matter her,
35:58
you know, honestly, considering everything. But I also again don't know
36:04
how much to trust that he says this would happen, that he would actually
36:07
get her off this place. So the last drawing that he comes to.
36:13
He picks the sky Island drawing, and when he threatens to break that,
36:21
she really begins to lose it. And I thought here she would crack,
36:24
but she just says, look, I really don't know, and he drops
36:30
all of the drawings on the ground and just stumps them into a million pieces.
36:36
It is truly hilarious how angry this man gets because of this little girl,
36:43
Like, sir, I don't know what you think you're proving here,
36:45
but it is so embarrassing. You are sad, just a sad man.
36:52
And of course we have to get like take them all into the dungeons and
36:58
torture them and tell they tell, that's what we want to hear. And
37:00
I want the kid to get the worst of it. Like really, so
37:07
outside, all of these men are like firing all of a sudden, So
37:14
the dudes who are in the loft have stopped and are going, well,
37:17
wait, what's going on? And then we see Robin and she is attacking
37:23
the dude's firing and correct me if I'm wrong. Kids breaking their necks.
37:34
Wow. Like most of the time on this show, people get injuries that
37:39
you can take as being fatal in a sense, but there's not a real
37:45
like, oh, that person's for sure dead from that. But this is
37:50
there's no way you make the gesture she's making and a person drops and they
37:55
haven't been killed. Like that's the only way that this would happen. I'm
38:02
fine with it for the record, but damn. And yeah, this last
38:07
guy who's trying to be like, what are you doing, put your hands
38:12
up or I'll shoot, And she stares at him for a second and then
38:16
she just twitches her hand and he begins to literally run away from her and
38:22
say, I'm not I don't hurt me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
38:29
But when she doesn't hurt him, he turns around like crawls back to his
38:36
gun and yells to his cronies. And I was like, you are not
38:37
worth the fucking air your breathing, sir. She just let you live and
38:43
you just do this shit. This pitiful, honestly. So all of the
38:50
guys that are in the laft, like the women are yelling why they have
38:54
her. They're telling you they have her, Just go fucking get her from
38:59
them and stop harassing us. One of the ladies says, you've worn out,
39:04
You're welcome here. Which is the sort of thing that you say to
39:07
a person that you can actually do something too. It felt like a flex
39:10
that she couldn't back up, But she's also really really big, so I
39:15
don't know, maybe she could. So yeah, he yells to if he's
39:21
got like fucking those bloodshot eyes and stuff, and he yells to one of
39:28
the guys to like go and back him up and threatens them one last time.
39:35
But then he walks over to the hatch and I guess he just thought
39:37
there was like a staircase there, or the staircase was on the wrong side.
39:42
It's a ladder, just so you know, and he just falls through
39:46
the floor. It's actually very funny because when he falls, one of his
39:52
men on the ground floor comes up to him and he's like, sir,
39:55
are you okay? And he just looks up and goes ra There was something
40:01
about that that just was very very funny to me. So the long story
40:09
short, there's a whole new set of gunmen they have surrounded Robin. She
40:15
is sitting on the body of one of the men that she has taken down
40:19
in the midst of them, with her legs crossed like she's on a talk
40:22
show. Or something, and the dude that's like in charge is explaining to
40:30
her that everybody who builds this bridge, everybody is here because they are criminals.
40:37
Either that or there's citizens of countries that refuse to ally with the world
40:42
government. So they've been toiling to build this wall or this, oh god,
40:51
this bridge. And we have a scene of like somebody falling from exhaustion
40:59
and a person coming and like beating the shit out of them to get them
41:01
up, and the captain says, in short, their slaves. And she
41:07
says, how long until the bridge is done? I have no idea,
41:09
but it's been under constant construction for seven hundred years. And when she asks
41:16
for what, he says, you don't need to concern yourself with that.
41:22
And that's a really you know, I was taking it for granted that this
41:29
little girl was right in saying, Oh, it's to bring us to new
41:32
places and meet new people. And now I'm like, it didn't even occur
41:37
to me that there was something nefarious that could happen with a bridge, but
41:42
sure, and he says, all you need to worry about is building this
41:47
bridge, because that's what you're going to do now. And I was like,
41:51
sir, I don't know if you saw her bring down like a group
41:52
of ten men, She's not actually going to be doing any of that.
42:01
So we cut then to us Up, who is at the Bowen Islands.
42:06
They are artichoke shaped, lotus shaped, They're really cool looking, and Usup
42:13
is in the middle of a dream about how you know, he's the one
42:16
that's going to lead his friends with him on this expedition and then if only
42:24
they could have actually been with me for this, and it's sort of like,
42:30
I don't know if it was a little bit confusing to anybody else,
42:37
but we have seen everybody waking up from having passed out when they hit the
42:45
ground, and with us Up, we start off with him already awake and
42:51
talking about being the hero of the party. So I really thought this was
42:58
a dream, you know. I thought that he was having something the way
43:01
that Chopper did, where he was he was having a dream about like his
43:07
ideal situation where all of his friends were there but they all respected his judgment
43:10
and we're like following him as a leader. And then it turns out he's
43:15
actually awake and he's actually got like, you know, all of his stuff
43:22
with him and everything is what it looks like. I kept waiting for things
43:29
to be like, Oh, and then he woke up. But no.
43:31
So he's in these woods. It's a jungle really. There's nobody with him,
43:38
so he's starting to go a little stir crazy mentally. There are rustlings
43:45
in the underbrush around him, and he does not like the sound of any
43:49
of it. Of course, he gets freaked out because who knows what kind
43:51
of fucking animals are going to be dealing with, and he keeps yelling,
43:57
hoping that he's going to rouse somebody, but starts to to the conclusion that
44:00
the island is totally uninhabited, and he starts to get pretty emotional about it,
44:07
which I'm not mad about. It's very you know Tom Hanks Castaway sort
44:13
of vibes. So then we have the local fauna getting involved. There is
44:22
a giant beetle that starts chasing him, and as he's running away from it,
44:30
a spear gets thrown so close that it actually like rubs up against his
44:35
nose, and we have a very funny scene of him flying past this beetle
44:39
while his huge nose carries him across as well, and he and the beetle
44:45
both land head first in the ground, but so does some strange man who's
44:50
got a beetle shaped sort of carapace over his cloak and also has like I
44:57
think I could call that a tunic and hope. So it's a real uh
45:04
all right, this guy saved Usa, but what the hell? And when
45:07
he stands up, he's got a helm on that's got a like almost looks
45:12
like pincers on the top, but they are I'm used to like, I
45:15
always think of pincers as being side by side, the way that antlers are,
45:19
but often they're not there. It's uh, you know, front to
45:22
back. And he has a weird sort of fur I don't know if you're
45:30
gonna call it rough, but it almost looks like a beard. It also
45:32
goes out the side, so it could just be like beard and hair,
45:36
but there's something about it that to me look like it was attached to his
45:40
clothing and not his head. So this guy says that his name is heracles
45:51
In, and it turns out he just adds in to the end of like
45:54
the end of every sentence. I guess, really is what it is.
45:59
Us up says, Oh, that's a pretty cool name. You got there,
46:02
and he says, really, you think so, And when he says
46:06
that, he's really it seems like that mattered to him. So Usop is
46:10
excited. There's a person. He's chatting. It's nice to have a company.
46:15
He finds a fruit that he's interested in eating, and he asks,
46:20
is this safe to eat? I've never seen one like this before, and
46:23
Heracles says sure, us Up, it's fine. By the way, you
46:28
can call me Heracles in and us ups like, yeah, okay, I
46:34
heard you the first time. Sure. Anyway, So he starts to get
46:38
ready to eat the fruit and he turns around and there is this giant worm
46:46
that licks him. It looks like a worm. It's apparently a plant.
46:54
These are men eating plants in Usup is like, excuse use me, And
47:00
then we get this weird chase scene of all of these different vegetables who are
47:08
attempting to eat him up. And that's it. That's the end of the
47:13
episode. It's so weird, Like Robin had a full twenty minutes and then
47:17
USAP had like five. If that so okay, then we're gonna jump to
47:25
and this one was I'm like, you know, running out of time here,
47:30
but I don't really think it's too big a deal regarding Zoro's situation because
47:37
he has it turns out landed on that strange island that Pirona had asked to
47:47
be on, which is really fun. I hadn't expected to see her again
47:53
and getting to find out that she was like sent to exactly where she asked
47:59
to go. Ba Basically, it's not what she wanted it really, but
48:02
it's pretty good. So I'm gonna just read her dialogue here because reminder,
48:10
you know, Kuma straight up goes where if you could go on vacation anywhere,
48:16
where would you go? And she say, repeating, I know what
48:21
I said. If I were to travel anywhere in the world, I would
48:23
want to go someplace dark and damp with a creepy old castle, and I
48:28
would spend all my days singing songs of curses. And she's really mad because
48:36
even though she got what she wanted, technically, this place doesn't have any
48:43
maids, there are no servers, there's nothing cute, no bagel sandwiches and
48:49
hot chocolate served to me in bed every morning. And to top it off,
48:52
there isn't a single stuffed animal here. And I'm really curious about were
49:00
like look, I had theorized before about how maybe Kuma can send you where
49:09
you would like to go, right, and their ideal places for some of
49:15
them do seem to have you know, Nami got a weather island and Frankie
49:19
gotten a mechanics island like that seemed cool if you look at like Sanji's island.
49:25
The deal with everything there is they all have girlish hearts. So maybe
49:30
you could argue that he technically sent Sanji somewhere that he would have liked.
49:35
It just wasn't specific enough. With Chopper still not born out, don't know
49:43
still what's going on with Chopper And I can't imagine with us up what the
49:51
deal is unless heracles and turns out to be an inventor, you know,
49:54
of some kind. He has really strong uh sniper man what's his name energy
50:05
to him. So I'm wondering is this like, is that why Ucep has
50:09
wound up here not because of the place, but because of the person and
50:13
like his wild adventures. I don't know. With Robin, she does like
50:19
to fight injustice, like we know that, so maybe that's why she got
50:23
put where she did. But it also could be about like opposing the world
50:30
government, and this being a secret operation of theirs somehow, uh Soga King,
50:35
thank you guys, the monkeys, Paw paw, fruit curls and other
50:39
Tobean, Oh god, Toban. So anyway, this whole thing with Pirona,
50:47
she's like really lonely and she just wants to go back to Killer Bark.
50:52
And as she's crying, you see this like Cliff in the background,
50:57
and it's all curly, like the Nightmare before Christmas Cliff, And I think
51:00
that's completely intentional. So this is when Zoro crash lands and she's like,
51:07
oh sweet, there's somebody else here. I hope it's somebody cute. But
51:14
then she sees that it's a fucking straw hat and she's like, god damn
51:17
it. And long story short, she decides that she's going to bring him
51:28
in and wrap him up and nurse him back to health and then turn him
51:32
into one of her servants, which of course he has absolutely no interest in.
51:38
And he's got a ton of bandages on him when he wakes up,
51:42
but later she puts even more on him to make him in the shape of
51:46
her stuff teddy bear pet that she had that servant. So I'm wondering like
51:55
if Kuma put Zoro where he would want to be. I guess it's like
52:00
fighting a worthy opponent maybe, like why is he here? Pirona chose it
52:09
specifically because of the look and location, and for him, he got sent
52:15
to someplace with a specific person. I'm willing to accept that. And she
52:22
basically like subjugates Zoro by using the you know, negative ghosts on him repeatedly.
52:31
But it's like a kind of disturbing scene actually, with him attempting to
52:36
fight back and her constantly like breaking his like his spirit, over and over
52:45
again. And it's funny if you don't think about too hard how actually horrifying
52:52
that is. It's funny too because at one point he's going out the wrong
52:59
door or and she's like, where are you even going? The exits that
53:04
way, and then she stops and she's like, a shit, I probably
53:07
shouldn't have just told him how to get out of here, but Zoro is
53:12
so bad at directions that he just goes the wrong way. Even though there's
53:15
like two other doors and she very clearly pointed at one of them, he
53:21
still picks the other door, which, honestly, that was a good joke
53:25
I thought that was really funny. So yeah, she tries to turn him
53:31
into a stuffed animal. It's so weird because eventually it cuts from a scene
53:38
where he is definitely still wrapped in bandages to completely all the bandages are gone,
53:45
and it's really really sudden, and I didn't understand what was supposed to
53:47
have happened, because he doesn't have his swords on him. It's not like,
53:52
you know, he could just cut all of this off of him,
53:54
and it's you know, he is looking at her after trying to exit the
54:00
wrong way. He glares as she's telling him, oh my god, you're
54:06
still going the wrong way, and then it cuts to him walking out the
54:10
door and he is completely unwrapped. It's really strange. I almost felt like
54:16
that might be like just an animating mistake. I don't know. So he's
54:24
leaving, she calls after him, and he says, unless you're gonna tell
54:30
me where you hid my swords, I don't want to fucking talk to you.
54:32
So she's like, you know what, and she lets him go,
54:38
but does that thing where she sends like a copy of herself ahead of him
54:43
in the hall. And it's really funny because like after he leaves, she
54:46
genuinely looks really bummed. It's like she doesn't want to be at odds with
54:53
him because she's so lonely, you know. So anyway, she stops him
55:01
in the hall. She's turned her herself into a giant version of herself and
55:07
is staring down at him and tells him, you're not going to get away
55:09
that easy, because I've been lonely far too long. And he turns and
55:15
there's a giant ghost coming down the hallway at him. We hear him yell,
55:19
and then that's it for her. Zoro. I'm going to wrap this
55:25
one pretty quick because that's all it deserves. But this next one is Brooke
55:34
and we've got a group of Satan worshippers. It's very funny because the Satan
55:42
worshipper is wearing a ram's head on his head that looks like the figurehead of
55:49
the Going Mary, like very very similar. And there are all these candles
55:53
burning with like a orange center and purple tips. It's cool looking, I'll
55:59
say that. And the name of this place is something like Hungaria and it's
56:08
like the country of poverty. So I don't know if it's supposed to be
56:14
that they are so desperate that they're doing devil worship because they've got nothing left.
56:20
Because the building they're in doing this ritual is like the one standing building
56:27
in a field that's apparently surrounded by debris of other kinds, and there's a
56:36
storm going on outside and the buildings on stilts. So I thought maybe it
56:40
was like all of these other places got destroyed as the result of flooding,
56:44
like a hurricane, monsoon something like that. So anyway, they're doing their
56:50
summoning and there's this flash of light and a hole in the ceiling as something
56:57
falls through it, and there's Brooke waking up slowly in the middle of this
57:05
like crater in the floor that he has made, and he is really worried
57:12
about his friends and is there's a real sense for him of I just made
57:16
these friends and now somebody sent me to God fucking knows where. And I've
57:21
got to admit, guys, this broke my heart. Like he's just been
57:23
through it, he only just found some people, and now already he gets
57:30
like ripped apart. I hated it. So he says something about how he
57:36
has to go find them, and all these guys are like panicking because they
57:38
need him to stay because they think he's Satan answering their prayer, and they
57:45
decide, okay, well make him a sacrifice. We have to give him
57:50
something to keep him around. And then there's this young girl off to the
57:55
side, and my friends, the way this is drawn on, she looks
58:00
like she's twelve. Like, it's so creepy. It's so creepy, y'all,
58:05
I know, you know, but like, oh my god. So
58:08
brook looks at this like a trembling, beautiful young blonde and says, would
58:16
you mind showing me your panties, to which the head of the Satanists says
58:24
he wants to see underwear. Everybody show him your underwear, which is amazing,
58:31
and we just get Brooks saying, well, I don't need to see
58:37
everyone's underwear. Oh, And I was sort of like, what was that?
58:45
What was that moment? Was it that he was looking at men and
58:47
finally caught sight of another woman or was there a man where he was like,
58:52
actually, take it back, you men can show me yours too,
58:54
Why not? But yeah, I what a weird So that's the end of
59:01
his is him just going wow, And that's the end of the episode.
59:07
It's it's oh no, I lie. We go back to Lufy for a
59:12
little while here. I forgot about this because you know, he's not taking
59:15
any pains to be quiet and hide the fact that he's here with Boa.
59:19
So she's continuing to think about how Lufy like is probably in love with these
59:25
two girls that are on his crew. We get an amazing bit where he's
59:29
walking away, going it can't be tied down, babe, you're better off
59:32
without me. It's so good. It's very funny. But they're overhearing her,
59:37
Like the men outside are overhearing him and thinking it's her. And there's
59:44
one guy who's like, never expected her to burp like that or talk that
59:49
way, but honestly, I kind of funded a turn on. I was
59:52
like Jesus, but yeah. So eventually all of them sort of gather up
1:00:00
demand that she like show herself because there's certain that there's somebody else in there.
1:00:06
But she finally just like strolls out and is going, I remind you
1:00:15
I need that same like hundred kilos of food five times a day. I
1:00:21
don't really care if you guys starved to death. And we have a brief
1:00:30
chicken again with Lufy and Aces card, it's like barely bigger than his thumb.
1:00:36
At this point, it's really really starting to burn down. We go
1:00:43
to Navy headquarters. Briefly, famous marines from all the world are gathering at
1:00:47
Marine for to prepare to battle to the death if need be, and we
1:00:54
just like hear that they're gathering together, but there's no dialogue here of any
1:01:00
kind. We don't actually see anything really happening. Captain Smoker is part of
1:01:04
the crew, by the way, which I had forgotten that he was one
1:01:06
of them, but I'm sort of excited to see him again. And at
1:01:13
the like very end the there's uh, what's his name? I keep wanting
1:01:22
to say, Garp? Is that his name? Gorp? He is standing
1:01:28
outside Ace's cell Still It's sort of weird because like days have passed, but
1:01:36
it's like he's been standing there in the same place the entire time. Garp,
1:01:43
that is him, Okay, And he says, how are you doing
1:01:45
with all those horrific wounds? Huh? Ace? And he says, because
1:01:53
of you, Navy Headquarters is no all the world government is a mess.
1:02:00
And he starts laughing, And I was like, does he approve because he
1:02:07
worked against Lufy earlier, but I can't tell, like how much of that
1:02:13
is part of him playing a part. I don't know. Ace tells him
1:02:16
to kill him, so if he is, apparently Ace isn't aware of that,
1:02:23
you know. But yeah, Garth just says everything's in motion, nothing
1:02:29
stopping white Beard from fighting. It's gonna happen Son and it seems the Navy
1:02:36
has made the King of the Sea mad as hell. And that is the
1:02:42
end of the episode. So yeah, I have to wrap up. I
1:02:52
really appreciate all of y'all. Thank you gus for hanging out with me.
1:02:57
Hope everybody can find the event too, because I know it's moved and so
1:03:00
there hasn't been a lot of people here lately, but it could just be
1:03:01
a time thing. But I really enjoy having you, so I hope you're
1:03:07
enjoying the content as much as I'm enjoying covering it. What a weird show.
1:03:13
Until next time to the Loue motherfuckers. That was an Unspoiled Network podcast.
