  All Along Park.
• 0:27
  So Nami's set off to All Along Park.
• 0:31
  It turns out she's actually part of All Alongs pirate crew.
• 0:35
  Which is a tattoo. Yeah, I don't think we actually
• 0:39
  see a tattoo until she gets there and she's got like the air
• 0:42
  fish kind of thing on her arm. Mike Tyson tribal tattoo.
• 0:47
  Yeah, so the follower there to goes a village, which is where
• 0:53
  Nami is actually from, and Usopp gets mistaken for a Fishman.
• 0:59
  Zorro gets captured and Zorro gets taken away by Nikki.
• 1:04
  Joel we find out is Nami's sister like she explains all of
• 1:10
  the like back story of course a village where all alongs pirate
• 1:13
  crew shows up, destroys the village and starts charging them
• 1:18
  rent to actually stay alive basically.
• 1:22
  Yeah, tributes in it. Yeah, and we'll find out about
• 1:27
  Belle Mia, who used to be a Marine, who kind of adopted Nami
• 1:32
  and Nikki. Joe, how did you feel about all
• 1:35
  of that back story like that? That must have been emotional.
• 1:41
  Right. So Nami is a character.
• 1:46
  I didn't like her at this point because I was just like, what?
• 1:48
  You've nicked the golden Mary. You constantly have to worry
• 1:51
  money. You don't align with the values
• 1:54
  that I like from the Straw Hat crew at the minute.
• 1:57
  Zorro's fighting because he's been like, he wants to be a
• 2:00
  sword fighter and there's plenty of fights going on and but it's
• 2:05
  just usopping her and they just kind of like stick out like the
• 2:08
  sore thumb. I thought a back story was sad,
• 2:13
  but it's just like a. Yeah, like it is like, well,
• 2:18
  you're being a Dick now. And so it's like, I can't really
• 2:21
  feel that much for your childhood.
• 2:24
  But the whole Bellamy a thing where she's like, you are my
• 2:28
  daughters. And she could have just she
• 2:32
  could have got away with it and let the girls hide.
• 2:36
  But it seems like all these are my daughters.
• 2:39
  You're going to have to charge the money for that and gives a
• 2:42
  life up just to prove that she is their mom, even though
• 2:46
  they're not related. And she's like, I love you.
• 2:48
  You're always going to be my daughters.
• 2:50
  And then she gets shot and killed.
• 2:54
  No one she knew. Fine.
• 2:55
  Well that was going to be the case.
• 2:57
  I thought that was really sad. It is sad.
• 3:02
  I loved it as a woman, but I think just didn't tell them that
• 3:05
  they're there. You.
• 3:07
  Could have just tell them that you love them after.
• 3:11
  I think it hits more being a parent as well.
• 3:15
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, it hits people
• 3:18
  normally, but I guess it's even worse when you're a parent, like
• 3:21
  going, Oh yeah, like you would do anything for your children,
• 3:25
  give your life and everything and I.
• 3:29
  Don't know if I'm I'm a bit broken because I was like it is
• 3:34
  sad but it's not like cry sad. Yeah, I mean, I don't think
• 3:38
  there's been any moments that have been cry sad in all of One
• 3:43
  Piece so far. There's some really, really
• 3:46
  emotional bits, but nothing's like it's still just a cartoon.
• 3:52
  If I'm going to get sick for anything in this episode, it'll
• 3:54
  be that phrase. It's just a cartoon.
• 3:56
  It's not really. One Piece is life, man.
• 3:59
  It's the best thing ever. So we find out after finding
• 4:06
  about Bellamy's death, Nami's true motives, where she wants to
• 4:11
  buy the villagers freedom, where all alongs told her if she comes
• 4:14
  up with 100 million berries it'll sell the village to her.
• 4:20
  Yeah, she's just about collected the 100 million berries and all
• 4:25
  along sends off some dodgy marine guy to go and find the
• 4:29
  money and sources. Back to square 1.
• 4:33
  The Rap 1. Yeah, I and he gets really
• 4:40
  upset. She's stabbing her arm and
• 4:43
  that's a really emotional scene as well where Luffy stops her
• 4:47
  and he puts his hat on her like that.
• 4:49
  That's a really powerful moment in this because we see earlier
• 4:52
  on in the show where he's like, nobody touches my hat except for
• 4:55
  me. And then the fact he puts it on
• 4:57
  Nami's head, it's like, yeah, like he loves this last, like
• 5:03
  his part I. Thought it was like a yeah you
• 5:05
  were one of us kind of moment It's.
• 5:08
  Like family, friends, sort of like connection stuff.
• 5:12
  Yeah, yeah. So Luffy and his crew head off
• 5:17
  to fight all along this. This is quite a long battle as
• 5:21
  well. Yeah.
• 5:24
  I don't, I don't feel like it was dragged out though, because
• 5:27
  we got loads of different parts of it where we've got like
• 5:30
  Hachan the octopus guy, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:35
  Fighting again, I love Hachan, where he's just like talking to
• 5:38
  Zorro and he's like, oh, what are you doing here?
• 5:41
  Do you need a ride? And he just takes him.
• 5:43
  Away. Talk to himself.
• 5:45
  Oh, yeah? What's your name?
• 5:46
  My name's Hachan. Yeah, I think out of the All
• 5:52
  Along Park Arcade was probably my favorite film with his eight
• 5:56
  sword style. Yeah, that was Overwatch like
• 5:59
  the eight sword style versus the three sword style.
• 6:02
  Yeah. And Sanji fights against or
• 6:08
  what's it called? Karrubi.
• 6:10
  I think it was the guy that jumps in the water after him and
• 6:14
  they have like the underwater fight The.
• 6:18
  Karate guy. Yeah, I lost the fisherman,
• 6:21
  right? Yeah, yeah.
• 6:24
  And who runs after Usopp? The guy who like, spits like
• 6:30
  basically bullets of water. The pretty boy, yeah.
• 6:34
  Yeah. He's had like duck lips and he
• 6:38
  was like, he's like handsome squid was.
• 6:42
  How did you feel about Usopp and choose Fight?
• 6:46
  I blinked and I missed it and I felt like anyway, because it was
• 6:51
  a he did chase him. There was a lot of chasing
• 6:54
  because Usop's a good runner so he outpaced him.
• 6:58
  So they caught up with each other and then he slingshotted
• 7:00
  him in the face and then he was down.
• 7:02
  And I thought that that's a bit anti club active for which is
• 7:05
  meant to be Usop's big fight back moment.
• 7:08
  Well, I mean, there was a bit more to it than that.
• 7:10
  Like so I think one of the best things about Usopp is that he's
• 7:15
  a really good strategist. So he fakes his death with like
• 7:20
  he's got like the sauce and he like it looks like blood and the
• 7:23
  guy starts to go away. But then Usopp gets up and like
• 7:26
  shoots him with like he's exploding star thing.
• 7:30
  And then he shoots the bottle of alcohol.
• 7:35
  So it like, splashes all over him and then he shoots his
• 7:37
  exploding star again, sets it on fire, and he's had it all
• 7:40
  planned out. And this is like, this is what I
• 7:45
  mean. Like, USOP does have his moments
• 7:47
  to shine. So like, he is very good with
• 7:49
  his strategies. Yeah, he's not the strongest
• 7:53
  person, but he has got a good mind on him.
• 7:57
  So he will have some good moments.
• 7:59
  And you saw Palmer. He must have like, who's Obama?
• 8:03
  Who's Obama? Who's Obama?
• 8:05
  Watching him over the head continuously.
• 8:08
  So I did like it, but I thought it could have been for for his
• 8:12
  moment. I thought it could have been
• 8:13
  better, yeah. And I kind of wanted him to do
• 8:17
  more and kind of outdo him a lot more.
• 8:22
  I think there was a lot to get through here, seen as there was
• 8:24
  like USOP versus choose, Zorro versus Zorro versus Hachang,
• 8:28
  Sanji versus Karubi all alongs just sitting around watching
• 8:33
  Luffy's like in the water with his head.
• 8:36
  That's. Where I was going to mention as
• 8:37
  well. So Luffy basically, he went to
• 8:42
  I'm sure he went to punch all along or something like that or
• 8:46
  one of his hench men. He gets the.
• 8:49
  Idea from the windmill on the police guys.
• 8:54
  Policeman and DM So he digs his feet into the concrete and then
• 9:00
  does that. But then he gets flung into the
• 9:02
  water and the spend 90% of this arc and the stretch his neck so
• 9:11
  his head's out the wonder so he so he can breathe and he's not
• 9:13
  dying, but he's just like a tin of milk.
• 9:16
  He just stands there and does nothing for this.
• 9:18
  And I kind of annoyed as a little bit, but I was like, I
• 9:20
  know once the bring out Luffy, it would have been the end, the
• 9:24
  start of the end of the fight, obviously.
• 9:27
  But everything, I don't know, it was annoying to watch a little
• 9:30
  bit. It's it's just that classic
• 9:32
  anime trope of it's basically like waiting for Goku time.
• 9:37
  Yeah like how all of the other characters have to fight people
• 9:40
  1st and lose or struggle until Goku shows up.
• 9:45
  Exactly the same. In One Piece people will fight
• 9:47
  the main characters until Lippy shows up.
• 9:51
  It does start to get a bit away from that later on, especially
• 9:56
  where they've got pirate crews and like on a pirate crew,
• 9:59
  people will have like the special rules in that crew.
• 10:03
  So like swordsman. Yeah.
• 10:04
  And it's like, oh, well, that swordsman is going to fight
• 10:06
  Zorro. Oh, this person that fights
• 10:08
  hand, hands going to fight Sanji and all this weird one can fight
• 10:13
  Nami. Like stuff like that.
• 10:16
  Yeah. So yeah.
• 10:19
  And if he eventually gets free and once he starts fighting all
• 10:24
  along, I don't think it takes long.
• 10:26
  I think it's a very anti climatic ending to that where
• 10:29
  they go inside the building and he just gum gum battle axe with
• 10:34
  his foot. There is the the moment where
• 10:38
  Luffy's fighting all along and he he finds the map Room 0.
• 10:43
  Yes, he starts. To spray.
• 10:45
  And so basically when Naomi was taken in and forcibly into the
• 10:51
  gang, he was just like, right, you're I want you so you can map
• 10:55
  out the world, map out all these islands because it'll help us
• 10:58
  when we want to take over that he's blue And she's doing that
• 11:01
  kind of against her will. And it always reminds me of that
• 11:05
  video of there's a guy who owns a parrot and he's getting rid of
• 11:12
  the cage so it can just fly around and be like a free parrot
• 11:15
  in his house. And he starts like stomping on
• 11:18
  the cage and the parrot's just like, what are you doing, man?
• 11:21
  Getting proper angry. It just, it just reminds us of
• 11:23
  that. And then they're like, oh, no,
• 11:28
  me maps. What?
• 11:29
  What? And then Nami kind of like, says
• 11:32
  to herself, well, says to them, it's OK because now I can do it
• 11:36
  for myself and not for a gang. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:40
  Which I like, I like. And so I think that basically
• 11:46
  brings us to the end of the All alongside All Along arc, where
• 11:50
  the defeated All Along Nami officially joins the crew and
• 11:54
  the set sail again and head for Log Town.
• 11:59
  And we before just before we nip to log town.
• 12:02
  And can I just point out that I didn't see a body all along his
• 12:06
  body like. Yeah.
• 12:08
  It's just a building collapse. He's buried under all the
• 12:11
  rubble. I have googled where our long is
• 12:15
  and the only thing it is like he's most likely just in
• 12:19
  impelled down which is like the pirate prison prison.
• 12:23
  Right. But we do have an impelled down
• 12:26
  saga or arc and you don't see Arlong there.
• 12:30
  So I don't know. We do get a little bit more back
• 12:33
  story later on about Arlong. Yeah, I did want to ask a
• 12:38
  question because the reason Arlong is not on the ground lane
• 12:42
  and he is in the East Blue is because he was in some sort of
• 12:47
  civil war with the fish people of fish men.
• 12:51
  Yeah. And he was sick of it and came
• 12:54
  over, decided to take over the E blue of recovery strength,
• 12:59
  increase his numbers and then go back at it.
• 13:03
  Yeah. And I kind of want to know about
• 13:04
  that. It does mention a little bit
• 13:06
  about the Fishman stuff, which we will find out later on.
• 13:11
  There was a Fishman dialling dock.
• 13:14
  Right. The do mention Jinbe in this
• 13:17
  arc. It was another one of the seven
• 13:19
  Warlords of the Sea. You'll find out about Jen Beer
• 13:24
  in about maybe another 150 episodes of something.
• 13:29
  He's quite an important character as well.
• 13:33
  You'll find out about that. I'll look it into it too much.
• 13:39
  So before we get a log town, we have a filler arc of Boogies
• 13:48
  Crew Adventure Chronicles. Now I say filler because it is
• 13:55
  filler, but it's not. So on the mangas every week when
• 14:00
  it comes out, the front page has like a sort of artwork on
• 14:06
  something else that's going on in another part of the One Piece
• 14:11
  world. In this specific manga, it would
• 14:17
  have been talking about like the beginning of Log Town and it'll
• 14:20
  have just had a picture of Boogie on an island with Guymon
• 14:24
  or something like that, or Boogies crew trying to pick a
• 14:27
  new captain. And it doesn't really go into as
• 14:33
  much detail as the anime does. It's just one picture.
• 14:36
  So right, it's technically not filler.
• 14:40
  The anime is just explaining more about what goes on in those
• 14:43
  pictures. That's a technicality, so yeah,
• 14:48
  right. He took care.
• 14:50
  So there's not much happens here that there's Boogies crew trying
• 14:54
  to fight, pick a new captain from the crew, Moji and Kabaji
• 14:59
  have a fight. And I love this so much.
• 15:03
  I mean, I'm not a fan of this little mini arc because not
• 15:07
  really anything happens that's important, but I love that
• 15:10
  Richie the Lion has a dream about being the captain and he
• 15:14
  wakes up and he's just like, I'm going to do it.
• 15:16
  He just knocks them both out. And Richie's the new captain of
• 15:19
  the Boogie Pirates. Yeah, well, he's caught on
• 15:23
  notice for these glasses. Yeah.
• 15:26
  And they get captured by cannibals, Boogie shows up and
• 15:29
  saves the day. And that's, that's pretty much
• 15:33
  that whole mini arc, isn't it? With with them, with a strange
• 15:37
  woman who you don't know who it is yet.
• 15:39
  Yeah, so some skinny Pretty Woman and she's alive with
• 15:45
  Buggy. So we head off to Locke Town.
• 15:52
