  This is an Unspoiled Network podcast This is spoil Me, covering one piece episodes
• 0:14
  three eighty eight, three eighty nine, and three ninety. In these episodes,
• 0:23
  we get, in my opinion, the best joke of the show so
• 0:28
  far. It's so dumb. It's so dumb, and it's resolution is even
• 0:36
  dumber than that, and it is truly this is what I'm here for with
• 0:42
  this show. This is it, This is it. Welcome to spoil Me,
• 1:06
  Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much
• 1:10
  to Gabriella for commissioning this episode. What's up, Gabby if you're out there
• 1:17
  so top of the episode, I just want to mention a couple of things.
• 1:22
  One I had thought once Sam was healed up, he would no longer
• 1:25
  be in my office, but it turns out that him and Pip just do
• 1:27
  not get along. So sometimes I'm going to have him in here because they
• 1:32
  have to be separated at all times, even though he is fully healed,
• 1:34
  so that's going to be a challenge. But bear with me. Second thing
• 1:40
  that I'm really really excited about, and most of the people who are here
• 1:44
  in the chat are also probably patrons, so this won't apply for y'all,
• 1:48
  but those of you who are listening to this who are not patrons and who
• 1:53
  would like to be able to stay in touch about what else I'm working on,
• 1:57
  but are not able to become paying patrons. Patreon in their wisdom.
• 2:05
  And I say this with total sincerity, even though usually that phrase is meant
• 2:09
  to be very sarcastic. They have finally made an unpaid tier, which means
• 2:16
  you're a member of the community on Patreon in that you can see all of
• 2:23
  the public posts and get email updates about them, but you don't have to
• 2:28
  pay unless you don't get access to the specifically paid content. And for me,
• 2:35
  this is such a godsend because I think anybody who has been on Facebook
• 2:40
  or Twitter lately has noticed that they very infrequently see shit from their actual pages
• 2:46
  that they follow in their actual friends. Mostly social media has decided that it's
• 2:52
  going to show us lots of ads, lots of videos of people mixing color
• 2:58
  into slime or frosting cakes. At least that's what they like to show me
• 3:02
  a lot and more ads usually, so it's made it kind of pointless for
• 3:10
  me. I try to share links whenever I'm going live with something or to
• 3:15
  let people know in events coming up on all of those platforms, like as
• 3:19
  much as I can, but I get almost no engagement. And I have
• 3:23
  almost four thousand followers on Facebook. Do you guys know the average engagement I
• 3:28
  get proposed? It's literally like forty people. It feels like a complete waste
• 3:34
  of my time. So if you are somebody who has been like wanting to
• 3:38
  see some of the other stuff that I'm up to, or get alerts when
• 3:42
  I'm doing a special event of some kind, go to Patreon, scroll past
• 3:46
  the like paid tiers, and it'll say just join the community and you can
• 3:52
  become part of that on Patreon. And I'm going to start doing like infoblasts
• 3:57
  here and there more regularly because previous to this, my only option was to
• 4:01
  do a an email, and those are really a big pain to put together
• 4:06
  and you tend to like get a lot of people not opening it. This
• 4:11
  is something that's a little bit like because it's coming from Patreon and it's not
• 4:16
  going to get filtered straight into spam and stuff usually. So I just wanted
• 4:23
  to let everybody know about those two things. And then the very last one
• 4:27
  is that Patreon has also enabled me to sell sound files from Patreon instead of
• 4:32
  having to do it on my website, which is where I've been selling like
• 4:35
  Avatar, The Last Airbender coverage and stuff. And it's another just great thing
• 4:41
  for me because that was a whole separate payment system and I was having to
• 4:46
  pay like a higher percentage off the top for that, and also having to
• 4:49
  pay for the plug in itself and to renew it, and also it didn't
• 4:54
  always work. It was kind of fidgety. So I'm going to be moving
• 4:59
  some of the paid stuff over there to make it a little bit easier.
• 5:01
  And I'm hoping that everybody who you know has been frustrated with my website now
• 5:10
  can just go over to Patreon dot com slash unspoiled once again, that's Patreon
• 5:15
  dot com slash owns boiled and get all of the things that you've been looking
• 5:19
  for on my website maybe put together more successfully. My website is just not
• 5:26
  it's not the place to be. I tried to make it the place to
• 5:29
  be. That'sh It's too much work, guys. I make too much content.
• 5:31
  I can't keep up. It's just not going to happen. So anyway,
• 5:34
  I thank you very much for bearing with me on those announcements. I
• 5:40
  won't be doing another announcement like this on these on one piece boil me is
• 5:45
  because I figure if you missed it, you missed it. But um okay,
• 5:49
  So now let's get into this episode. So Seraphim is in the chat,
• 5:54
  so a little bit from last time. The whole explanation for why Papa
• 5:58
  can talk is another case of Odo just loving his wordplay that only makes sense
• 6:01
  in Japanese. He is a starfish, he who thought he was a human
• 6:08
  Hito. Oh, I see what you're saying. Oh that's fun. Yeah,
• 6:15
  that's a shame that that doesn't translate. Like, I appreciate that you
• 6:17
  translated it, but it would be very fun for that to pop up when
• 6:21
  you don't like you know, you're a native speaker and you don't need somebody
• 6:26
  to point it out and just be like, oh I see what he did
• 6:28
  there, Florian Yet what design is a bitch? It truly is, And
• 6:31
  like, I don't I would love to go to square space because it's definitely
• 6:36
  easier, but they do not allow file size. It's big enough for my
• 6:42
  shows, you guys, A swear to god, I feel like a fucking
• 6:46
  freak. I do everything that's like, oh, made for podcasters, and
• 6:51
  they're like, it's an our maximum and I'm like, it's what I could
• 6:57
  do that barely alone. For spoil me, Rashawn and I have not done
• 7:03
  an under one hour and forty minute podcast. And I don't even remember when.
• 7:09
  Literally the last like the last song of Ways and Fire episode we put
• 7:15
  out was I think two hours and twenty minutes. It was something insane.
• 7:20
  So anyway, so let's get back to this, this fucking tragedy, the
• 7:30
  truth hidden under Duval's mask. I just realized I didn't read the titles of
• 7:34
  the episodes, but that's okay. So this dies this joke. What we
• 7:41
  get here. I was wondering how long it was gonna take for us to
• 7:44
  see his face, and I kind of thought it might be like dragged out
• 7:47
  even more, because what it turns out is going on here is a very
• 7:53
  short, little blip. It seems like by the end of this trio of
• 7:58
  episodes, we've dealt with all and we have moved on. That crunching sound.
• 8:03
  Is Sam really going to town on a venison chew? So sorry about
• 8:07
  that? And instead, like I had expected for Duvall to maybe be the
• 8:15
  big bad of this arc, and it's just like, I guess he could
• 8:22
  be still, like, I don't think so, but perhaps I just really
• 8:26
  didn't expect for us to wrap things up. And I'm sort of wondering y'all
• 8:35
  if you can give me some other examples, because I am positive that this
• 8:41
  has happened before, but I'm having trouble remembering every arc has got a big
• 8:46
  bad, and that big bad usually has his henchmen who our friends have to
• 8:50
  deal with first, and then they get to the big bad and everybody gets
• 8:56
  like sort of separated, and they each have to deal with their own particular
• 9:00
  henchmen because based on their abilities, they get sent to deal with whoever they're
• 9:05
  most likely to be able to handle. But a guy like this who's a
• 9:13
  battie and very determined to go after them, but doesn't have a sustained arc
• 9:20
  of any kind and is taken care of in just a few episodes, I
• 9:26
  feel like the only times I've seen this really are when it's a filler episode
• 9:31
  or what y'all call a filler episode. I don't always agree with you,
• 9:35
  nevertheless, so I'm just kind of trying to remember if this has ever occurred,
• 9:41
  because I really enjoy how unexpected it was to think I'm like, oh,
• 9:46
  okay, I know what we're going into here, and instead it's sort
• 9:52
  of a one off, and it feels like it could have been considered filler
• 9:54
  if it weren't for the fact that it ties in with the wanted sign,
• 9:58
  which of course that's a ma you know, plot thread. Anyway, so
• 10:05
  we picked up, We're still in the midst of this fight and loofy,
• 10:09
  unsurprisingly it's extremely taken with the flying fish. So he uses his rubber arms
• 10:16
  to like reach up and grab a guy out of the seat and then jump
• 10:20
  onto the fish himself and he just tosses that guy, I assume to his
• 10:24
  death. This reminds me of I don't know how many of y'all have watched
• 10:31
  Daredevil, but Daredevil the series on Netflix. The whole thing with him was
• 10:39
  that he fought, but he tried not to kill, Like it was just
• 10:43
  not something that he wanted to be responsible for. But somebody once did,
• 10:48
  Like I think it was a YouTube short where they compiled the clips of every
• 10:54
  moment where he in a fight would have dealt somebody fatal head injuries or by
• 11:03
  throwing somebody over a stairwell would have inflicted fatal head injuries, and they all
• 11:09
  basically were like, Yeah, this guy says he doesn't kill people, but
• 11:11
  he like kills people a whole lot actually, So yeah, he's up there
• 11:18
  flying around, and of course it's Chopper who's the first one to be like,
• 11:24
  um, what about if he falls? Because he is a devil fruit
• 11:30
  eater and that means that he cannot swim, and it turns out that that
• 11:35
  is indeed a problem. At the time when he voices this concern, Sanji
• 11:39
  literally says, whatever, which Sanji, but you know what, you know
• 11:48
  what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be generous here, and I'm gonna say
• 11:52
  that that whatever isn't so much that Sanji doesn't care. It's more Sanji accepting
• 11:58
  that there's nothing that he can do. And I don't even mean in terms
• 12:03
  of like this particular instance where he can't go up there and take Loofy off
• 12:07
  of the back of the flying fish. I mean that Sanji has come to
• 12:11
  accept that there's nothing he can do regarding making loofy except his own limitations.
• 12:20
  He's essentially given up on the whole concept of like keep this in mind and
• 12:26
  be cautious when you do X Y Z. He's just like, yeah,
• 12:28
  that's super not how he operates. And I have kind of tried a few
• 12:35
  times to point out that, you know, whatever he's about to do is
• 12:39
  not a good idea, and I will tell you how it goes, and
• 12:41
  that is it doesn't. He barely notices I have spoken, unless it is
• 12:46
  about food. So all of these guys in the Flying Fish they have bombs
• 12:52
  that they drop from above, and there's a moment that I wasn't totally sure
• 12:58
  what happened. It's not important, but I was just curious about it.
• 13:01
  When the bombs come down, Sanji does his kicking thing and he kicks all
• 13:07
  of the bombs away from the ship and they explode in a circle around the
• 13:09
  ship, and Robin is shown to have like moved her hands in such a
• 13:13
  way that she was going to do something, but Sani does his kicking thing
• 13:20
  and she sort of pulls back. And I was trying to see if she
• 13:24
  had thought she needed to step in and then it turned out not to be
• 13:26
  necessary, or if she had done something like with in conjunction with Sangie's kick,
• 13:37
  and I don't think she did. I think it's just meant to be
• 13:39
  that these guys are not a big enough threat that everybody needs to be all
• 13:43
  hands on deck at once. She could literally kind of just sit back because
• 13:46
  it's not a big deal for them to cope. But I just wanted to
• 13:52
  make sure that I didn't miss anything with her ability. So yeah, this
• 13:58
  is the moment where Nami is First of all, he says like, if
• 14:03
  they hit a lady with any of those bombs, they'll be hell to pay.
• 14:07
  Nami says, pull the sails in because they're going to get in the
• 14:11
  way, which is a really good point, not only in terms of,
• 14:16
  you know, just just these bombs coming down, but also if you can.
• 14:22
  They are I don't think real great at stationery flying. It seems like
• 14:28
  they're not hummingbirds. They can't stay in place. They just sort of fly
• 14:33
  past. So maybe if you stand still in this ship it'll be more difficult
• 14:39
  for them. I don't know. Anyway, it does not matter. So
• 14:43
  we then see Lufy he passes by underwater with a look of terror on his
• 14:50
  face. We then see both Chopper and Brook go passed in a similar manner.
• 14:58
  We don't really see them get rescue. You'd we just see them suddenly
• 15:01
  on shore and everybody panting, like it's clear what happened. And I appreciate
• 15:07
  Nami being like, you know what, I should have just let you assholes
• 15:09
  sink because this is really thoughtless of you. And at the time it's sort
• 15:15
  of let go. But a little bit later, Brooke brings up how ashamed
• 15:20
  he is that like, in the very first fight he has had with the
• 15:24
  like while being on the one piece crew, the only thing he accomplished was
• 15:28
  almost drowning and having to be saved by one of them, which didn't really
• 15:33
  occur to me. But yeah, that is pretty embarrassing, and he winds
• 15:37
  up making up for it. Don't get me wrong, but I didn't really
• 15:41
  think about this being like their first fight because they were all sort of on
• 15:46
  the same side on thriller Bark, so I think of it as that being
• 15:50
  their first fight. But this is the first first fight as a crew.
• 15:56
  I'm sorry, guys, my tug is just really going and after this chew
• 16:00
  as if it's like moving around and fighting back and it's very adorable. So
• 16:06
  anyway, this is when we get we get Oh my god, Zoro,
• 16:12
  I keep wanting to say, Sanji, we get Zoro chopping open Hatchie's cage
• 16:21
  and letting him out, and he is so excited. He says to Zoro,
• 16:27
  you're a really great guy, and a bit later says I'm really sorry
• 16:33
  for what I did to you, and Zoro's like, what do you mean?
• 16:37
  And he says something like, well, you know, I really got
• 16:41
  the better of you with my like eight sword technique. I think it's what
• 16:45
  he calls it. And Zoro gets so mad at the insinuation that he was
• 16:51
  like beaten, And I really liked that moment. I'm not saying that I
• 16:56
  want Hotchi to be a crew member. I am saying that I want Hotchie
• 17:03
  to be a crew member, though a little bit. I'm just saying,
• 17:11
  yes, arif m I see a pupper, Yes, indeed, I gave
• 17:15
  him one of those long lasting choes, and man, he really is a
• 17:19
  chewerd I'm not sure how long long means exactly. So these dudes who had
• 17:27
  beaten the ship out of Hotchie while he was like helpless are now standing there
• 17:34
  as he is coming toward them, being like, you guys fucked with me
• 17:37
  when I couldn't fight back at all. I am going to ruin your goddamn
• 17:41
  day, and each one of them gets a moment of saying like, how
• 17:47
  much fun it was to kick his ass before, and they're gonna do it
• 17:51
  again. And I really like that. The last guy who's got his sword,
• 17:56
  he looks like such a frigging uber nerd, Like they're they're all meant
• 18:03
  to be fishmen, and they're all they all look non human, but the
• 18:11
  guy at the end is the is like the humanist looking of them. And
• 18:17
  I think some of that has to do with the fact that he's got a
• 18:21
  skin tone that looks like real skin, like that's a Caucasian skin tone or
• 18:26
  Asian skin tone, but also the fact that his features are only slightly exaggerated.
• 18:34
  And I just kept thinking about, like I've met this guy or seen
• 18:37
  this guy online, like I don't know, there's a thing about him.
• 18:41
  I was like, this is uncomfortable. This feels like a real person.
• 18:45
  So they come at him and he punches all three of them into the air,
• 18:52
  and as they fly away, they say something like we'll let you go
• 18:59
  this time, which makes it a lot more understandable why he is embarrassed that
• 19:07
  he got caught by these guys. These dudes are such dorks. They're just
• 19:15
  dorky dorks. So he comes out of the water and reunites with I think
• 19:21
  her name is pronounced Kami. I think that's the way they're saying it in
• 19:25
  the show. I keep saying Cammy, like the tank top, the lacey,
• 19:29
  you know top that you wear underneath a shirt. But he's like in
• 19:34
  the midst of reuniting with her, and some dude flies out from the sky
• 19:41
  with one of those fucking flying fish and almost gets him in the back with
• 19:47
  a sword. Zoro once again steps in and saves him, and this is
• 19:52
  when he says, thanks and I'm sorry what I did to you. So
• 19:57
  we go then to the Sunny and our friends are using cannons on the flying
• 20:03
  fish. It's pretty satisfying. I really did enjoy getting to see like the
• 20:08
  weapons that we've got on the Sunny, And granted, one of the last
• 20:12
  ones we use is like so op that it can only be used very infrequently
• 20:19
  because it's paid with the same fuel as what Frankie uses, which is cola.
• 20:29
  And you know, guys, this had me thinking, do they have
• 20:33
  to buy cola or is this something that in this universe they can just make
• 20:37
  themselves like do they just have a soda stream on board, or do they
• 20:44
  have to find a Cola salesman and you know, buy several barrels of it
• 20:49
  off him when they get the chance. It's just the reason I'm even asking
• 20:55
  too, is because while I accept that Frankie runs off of Cola, I
• 21:03
  don't think we have ever seen anybody drink or talk about cola ever on the
• 21:10
  show. We've had lots of talk about different types of boozes and things,
• 21:15
  but not ever cola. And I'm just sort of like, is this meant
• 21:22
  to be like a real specialty item or is it simply that it's never come
• 21:27
  up? Because why would it, you know. So let's see, Gus
• 21:36
  is saying, kamey, oh, okay, I got you, yeah,
• 21:41
  I wow. Really did not remember it that way, gotcha. So then
• 21:48
  we go to Duval and he is offering all of the fish guys like a
• 21:53
  million berries if they, you know, kill all of the fucking straw hats.
• 21:59
  It's a bit prize. This guy is very serious, and one of
• 22:03
  the motivation of hearing that it's going to be worth a million berries causes some
• 22:11
  of them to get a little bit crazy. And there's one dude who starts
• 22:14
  to do what looks like a suicide mission. He's coming straight at the sunny,
• 22:18
  he isn't breaking, he isn't steering, and he intends to just slam
• 22:22
  straight into them without stopping and sink the entire ship. Which I understand that
• 22:29
  in a vacuum, but all I could think was that you are also going
• 22:34
  to be in the water and your fish is probably, I'm in a guess,
• 22:38
  not going to survive that, and you are going to be stuck drowning,
• 22:41
  just like everybody else. It does not feel like he is thinking ahead
• 22:45
  regardless. Sanji and Lufy go flying into the air and they each take care
• 22:52
  of him in their own way, Lufy by turning into a giant balloon,
• 22:59
  and the flying fish lands on the deck of the ship, and Lufy says,
• 23:06
  I know what we're having for dinner. And while I shouldn't have been
• 23:08
  surprised because we know what he is like with food, I was genuinely like,
• 23:14
  I thought he would just want to ride it. I thought that was
• 23:15
  going to be his number one priority. But no, no, food is
• 23:19
  always going to come first. I guess that it's not like alive anymore.
• 23:25
  It's still flopping when it first lands. So I interpreted it as just the
• 23:30
  thing that fish do when they are on the like on land, you know,
• 23:34
  in the if you catch a fish and you toss it into your boat
• 23:38
  for a minute, it flaps around for a little bit more. So I
• 23:41
  thought it was that, but I'm realizing probably it's dead. So this is
• 23:48
  when Brooke is like, all right, it's time for me to make it
• 23:52
  right. Everybody stand back, and I'm gonna do my thing. And he
• 23:56
  climbs up the mast and kicks off from it in this like huge, amazing
• 24:04
  jump that looks dope as hell, and rightfully, both Loofy and Chopper are
• 24:11
  like, oh my god, that is so cool. And then in mid
• 24:15
  air, in front of all of these flying fishmen, he pulls out a
• 24:21
  violin and begins to play a lullaby, which immediately makes the riders and the
• 24:27
  fish fall asleep. Unfortunately, it also makes Loofy and Chopper fall asleep.
• 24:34
  But I really really enjoy the concept of him using his music as a superpower,
• 24:41
  Like I don't know if this is going to be his thing entirely.
• 24:45
  I don't believe it will be, because you know, he's over here with
• 24:48
  fucking walking on water still, which I consider a superpower, although I think
• 24:53
  Oda probably would argue that it's simply the nature of how light he is and
• 24:57
  that's not that doesn't really count. But yeah, I am really into seeing
• 25:04
  more music based powers here. That's a fun one, and especially just like
• 25:11
  the idea to me of you guys know how much I enjoy like parties and
• 25:18
  the concept of like getting people hype, and I would if I were broke
• 25:22
  and I had the ability to like play something and get everybody in a room
• 25:27
  just dancing because it was the reaction that they had, I would definitely be
• 25:34
  out here doing that, and I would certainly use that against enemies because it's
• 25:38
  funny. That would just be a funny thing. So I'm hoping we get
• 25:41
  a little bit more from this like concept, you know. So Saraphim says,
• 25:52
  huh, I'm guessing they have to buy it whenever they hit up port.
• 25:55
  But I guess it's just pirates equals booze, so that's what gets focused
• 25:59
  on. Gus says, Frankie bought Kola back in the bar in Water seven.
• 26:03
  I don't think it's specialty, just doesn't get a lot of focus outside
• 26:07
  of Frankie okay, because yeah, he's like the only one. It felt
• 26:11
  almost like water seven was the only place you could get it. Initially to
• 26:15
  me, I mean not like that was in the universe, but it's simply
• 26:18
  never been mentioned ever. And then all of a sudden, he's not only
• 26:23
  ordering it, but that's literally what he runs on. So this like the
• 26:30
  fact that they all fall. That's a good moment, guys, I really
• 26:36
  so Brooke continuing to walk on water. He is running from them in such
• 26:42
  a way that they keep crashing into the water trying to catch him, and
• 26:47
  he is just avoiding them and dodging, and at one point he holds a
• 26:52
  finger up and I really thought he was giving them the bird, but it's
• 26:55
  just a pointer finger, So I think it's just supposed to be like,
• 26:57
  hey, there's still some up there if you want to do something lufy,
• 27:00
  because then he jumps into the air. He gets on the back of one
• 27:06
  of the fish and there's like flyer who's asleep, and he's like, hey,
• 27:11
  don't freak out, I just want to ride on it. And then
• 27:12
  he realizes that this fish is also asleep, and they go crashing into the
• 27:17
  roof of one of the homes below, and it just happens to be you,
• 27:23
  guys. I'm going to get into this main, main event now.
• 27:30
  So he sees this face, and I'm of course expecting that it's going to
• 27:40
  be a bad that we've seen before. Either that or it was going to
• 27:45
  be somebody that had been a friend that we had seen before, and then
• 27:52
  unintentionally something that the straw Hats did wound up screwing them over, and they
• 28:00
  soured on the whole bunch of them because of this like slight that they imagine
• 28:04
  was perpetrated on purpose but was in fact just a you know, side effect
• 28:11
  or accident of something. And instead we get this wonderful reveal because he's talking
• 28:21
  about how he's going to get the guy who ruined his life. Of course,
• 28:26
  I'm assuming he's talking about Lufy. Why would I not think he's talking
• 28:30
  about Lufy. Everything is always about Lufy, Like truly never crossed my mind
• 28:37
  for a second it was about anybody else except I think maybe Zoro flickered out
• 28:42
  for a minute, and that was pretty quickly put away. I was convinced
• 28:48
  it was Lufy. So this dude stalks out after like a series of other
• 28:56
  little battles between people, and he's says to Sanji, how you have ruined
• 29:03
  my life. This is the greatest day. The man I've dreamed of killing
• 29:08
  is right before my eyes. I may have suffered to get here, but
• 29:12
  it's all been worth it. And this was when I started to be kind
• 29:15
  of like, oh, well, you and Lufy were like alone in that
• 29:21
  little hut together, but now you're out here talking about how the man you
• 29:26
  want to kill is like within your grasp. I thought it was Lufy,
• 29:33
  and yet you're out here looking at the sunny, so maybe not. And
• 29:40
  then he spots Sanji and basically it's like you're the fucking one that's responsible.
• 29:48
  And everybody is trying to figure out what what it could be that Zoro did
• 29:57
  to piss somebody off, Like they are I think, or not Zoro Sanji.
• 30:03
  They are thinking, I think that's it's Nami who brings up the She
• 30:08
  says she pronounces it baratier in the show. I don't think that I had
• 30:14
  heard it talked about since I switched to the dub and baratier pronunciation. You
• 30:21
  guys may have told me that that was how it was pronounced, but I
• 30:23
  don't think that it's easy to come through with pronunciation on text all the time.
• 30:30
  So yeah, I really liked that like pronunciation a lot better. I
• 30:36
  think I was calling it the Barretty in my head, and I was sort
• 30:38
  of like, I don't really, I don't know. That doesn't seem to
• 30:41
  flow very well. But yeah, so they're all thinking that, like,
• 30:45
  maybe it's something that Sanji did even before he was a crewmate, you know,
• 30:48
  which I think it's smart to go back that long because people hold grudges
• 30:52
  for a long time. When Sanji expresses that he does not know who this
• 30:57
  guy is, he did make all sorts of like fuck people over when he
• 31:03
  was on the Barottier to piss them off enough that it would be difficult to
• 31:07
  narrow down any person in particular. And then he's like, and if it's
• 31:12
  somebody recently, I'm even more confused by that, I have no idea.
• 31:18
  Meanwhile, this dude is shooting harpoons that are dipped in poison from this insane
• 31:26
  weapon at the ship, and everybody's busy dodging while Lufy and Zoro off to
• 31:34
  the side on the island from which he is shooting, they sneak up on
• 31:40
  him from the side and Lufy kicks his helmet off, and we get this
• 31:44
  like long reaction pan as usual between everybody, and I love the shock on
• 31:53
  everybody's face, because, you guys, I was not ready in any sense
• 31:59
  at all. He says, when they found him, do you know what
• 32:06
  they'd say? You can't hide from us, black leg Sanji? And then
• 32:14
  do you know what I told him? He I've never even met the guy
• 32:19
  before. And the camera pulls out, and not only that, I ain't
• 32:25
  even a pirate, and it is a dude who looks exactly like weirdo drawing
• 32:37
  that somebody did for Sanji's wanted poster. You guys, this is so brilliant
• 32:50
  and so dumb. I swear to god, I just sat there. I
• 32:57
  didn't even laugh out loud. It was like that kind of funny where you're
• 33:01
  just like, I need a second. I need a second to precess what's
• 33:06
  happening here, because it took me a minute to really get what they were
• 33:12
  saying. And I can't get over how weird this dude looks like in the
• 33:20
  context of this world, and he's complaining about how they came after him.
• 33:25
  I wasn't even a pirate, And meanwhile, Sanji is getting fired up,
• 33:31
  and I mean that in the most literal sense, because you know how he
• 33:36
  can turn into fire. And I kind of thought that maybe Sanji was gonna
• 33:42
  be like, well, that's my bad. I didn't draw it, it's
• 33:45
  not my fault, and instead he is blaming this dude for whining, is
• 33:53
  really what it comes down to, and also also saying can you imagine how
• 34:02
  it felt for me for people to think that I looked like this, which
• 34:07
  is the most insulting, Like it's just so stupid, you guys, And
• 34:16
  he like kicks him in the face, and it's just like, who fucking
• 34:22
  gives a shit? Dude like does not want to hear it and isn't feeling
• 34:30
  personally guilty or sorry at all, which he shouldn't. I mean, this
• 34:35
  really has nothing to do with him when it comes down to it. But
• 34:38
  I probably still would have felt a little bit guilty where I in his shoes,
• 34:44
  because I just tend to do that. You know, That's something I'm
• 34:45
  working on anyway, you guys, this reveal was I just it's so incredibly
• 34:58
  goofy and it's such a fun like I really want to know if Oda did
• 35:04
  that thing with the poster with the intent of creating a character who looked like
• 35:10
  this, or if it was something that like a fan joked around about in
• 35:15
  some forum and he was like, you know what, that's a good idea.
• 35:21
  I feel like if I were somebody writing something that's popular, I don't
• 35:24
  know that I'd be able to resist being in places where folks were talking about
• 35:29
  it. You know. Like, I think about this a lot because I
• 35:32
  had written a novel once and I have since pulled it from Amazon because ouch,
• 35:37
  I did not do well. But it was the sort of thing that
• 35:42
  it's such a small work and what I do is so small that I don't
• 35:46
  want to read reviews. I don't want to look at it because it's just
• 35:50
  every single thing is going to hit so much harder because there's not so much
• 35:52
  written about it. But if I did something that was huge and there was
• 35:58
  thousands of people talking about it at a time across the globe, I feel
• 36:01
  like it would be a little bit easier for me to like swoop in and
• 36:05
  out of areas that they're talking and not feel quite so self conscious about my
• 36:09
  work. And I could definitely see stumbling across this concept as a joke and
• 36:16
  being like, oh, okay, so I know what I'm doing. Like,
• 36:22
  I really can't imagine how much fun it would be to sort of get
• 36:27
  inspiration from multiple storylines by doing that. I mean, this series is so
• 36:31
  loosey goosey, you don't need to worry about hitting certain plot beats too hard
• 36:37
  because the overarching story that is like connecting, is so drawn out it doesn't
• 36:45
  matter in between. You could fucking do literally anything. So I think I
• 36:49
  would really be kind of like making people's fan fit come to life a lot
• 36:54
  for just the fun of it. Florian says, such a said character,
• 37:00
  I truly feel for him. Sarah Fhim says, oh, he definitely intended
• 37:04
  this. Florian said people went crazy before this chapter drop. There were so
• 37:08
  many wild fan theories and nobody called this to happen. Oda is a master.
• 37:14
  Sarah Fim says, Odah doesn't have time to read fanboards. Dude's schedule
• 37:17
  is freaking insane. That's true. I guess what I would imagine would be
• 37:22
  like he's got people reading fanboards and getting back to him with like the cliff
• 37:27
  notes of whatever was talked about today. He's like, I have a crazy
• 37:30
  schedule, so I'm gonna milk that community for ideas to get ahead of it.
• 37:37
  But anyway, I just this joke is so good, you guys,
• 37:39
  and what I really like as well. So the next episode three eighty nine
• 37:47
  explosion Sonny's super secret weapon gaan cannon. I'm not sure I'm saying that right,
• 37:53
  But we start that next episode and this dude has been talking about how
• 37:59
  un fairly he's been persecuted, and then we get a lovely little like weirdly
• 38:07
  illustrated the whole way this is done. It's supposed to be a memory,
• 38:13
  so we've got the really basic background, and then him and his friends are
• 38:17
  drawn just as intricately as usual, but they have a white outline around them,
• 38:23
  as if they are paper dolls and they have been cut out and just
• 38:27
  put onto this scene. And then all of the people who are not him
• 38:31
  or his friends are just these like black it's not even like they're quite silhouettes,
• 38:39
  because they have clothing that is colored and they have hair that is colored,
• 38:44
  and when they speak, their mouths open and there are white teeth and
• 38:47
  pink tongues, like a lot of what is going on with these guys you
• 38:52
  can still see distinctly, but in terms of their features, there is just
• 39:00
  black space. It's such a weird way to do things. And I don't
• 39:06
  think we've seen you know, there's been a few different instances where somebody's telling
• 39:10
  a story about their past, or we're in a flashback and the animation style
• 39:14
  changes to signal that we're going into some other time, and I don't remember
• 39:21
  one that was like this, with the like paper doll effect here and the
• 39:25
  way that he talks. What happens is this little girl is like crossing the
• 39:30
  street and he is walking up it with his friends and his little This guy's
• 39:35
  little girl like hits him with her ice cream cone and gets it on his
• 39:38
  pants, and he says to the dad, how are you going to pay
• 39:45
  for that? And when he says how are you going to pay for that,
• 39:52
  there's this very creepy, sort of wide lens effect on his face,
• 39:55
  like they are just really exaggerating the sort of grotesque nature of the way he
• 40:04
  looks. And I was sort of thinking, like, what are we going
• 40:08
  to do here? Are we going to have it be that he wasn't such
• 40:12
  a bad guy, But then the way he reacts to this and gets in
• 40:15
  the dad's face at least he doesn't like hit the little girl or something,
• 40:19
  which I was concerned about, but he does steal this guy's wallet, and
• 40:24
  we see him walking away tossing the wallet in his hand and says, we
• 40:30
  just extorted money from people. It was a simple life, but a happy
• 40:34
  one. And I felt so much better right away because I kept thinking he
• 40:43
  was just some dude and that he hadn't had these henchmen or anything until And
• 40:50
  I still kind of enjoyed this like theory personally, but I what I want
• 40:59
  for this mythology to be about the guy's current situation is that all of the
• 41:07
  people that are following him now believe that he is genuinely worth one hundred million
• 41:15
  berries or whatever it is, and he has accumulated this like retinue of fighters
• 41:23
  who all believe that he is super capable, and he has never had to
• 41:29
  prove to them that he is super capable, because the bounty speaks for itself,
• 41:34
  and that's why he sends them fighting, and he stays in a locked
• 41:38
  room with the fucking phone. Like I was sort of imagining this whole thing
• 41:43
  where it turned out when they realized he wasn't actually black leg SANGI that they
• 41:49
  would be feeling like they'd been tricked and maybe even turn on him, you
• 41:54
  know, But sadly it doesn't go that way. I kind of enjoy that
• 41:59
  idea, just you know, somebody it's initially through no fault of his own
• 42:06
  that he gets mistaken, but he decides that he's going to like lean into
• 42:12
  it. That said, though, maybe he wouldn't have been as angry at
• 42:15
  Sanji because that would have made things into a bit of a Maybe he would
• 42:22
  enjoy that, and he wouldn't want Sangie to blow up his spot and tell
• 42:27
  everybody the truth. It seems like all he really wanted though, as a
• 42:31
  person, was to be able to do a little bit of light pickpocketing and
• 42:36
  chill on smoke weed and play Xbox with his friends. He had no interest
• 42:40
  in a massive criminal empire. He wasn't somebody who wanted to sail the high
• 42:45
  seas. He just wanted to be able to get stoned every now and then
• 42:52
  and eat hot pockets. And now the police have broken down his door and
• 42:59
  driven him of his house and impounded his car, and he has to live
• 43:04
  in this weird spot with these weird dudes. And this is not anything that
• 43:08
  he was interested in. So this dude is telling the story and I'm genuinely
• 43:16
  like, I don't know a guy. This seems like you kind of sucked
• 43:20
  and you might not be worth as much as Sanji, but I'm glad that
• 43:22
  they fucked your life up. But Sanji, for his part, is like
• 43:29
  really over listening to this guy whining. So he had kicked him once and
• 43:35
  then a fishman comes at him from up above, and Sanji leaps up to
• 43:39
  fucking kick the guy off of his fish and all of a sudden, the
• 43:44
  camera pulls over to Duval, who is smirking and saying you couldn't resist,
• 43:47
  could you, And all of a sudden here come two fishmen with like an
• 43:53
  iron net, and they have got Sani caught up in the net and they
• 44:00
  dive down into the water, intending to drag him all the way to the
• 44:04
  bottom and drown him, and of course Lufy wants to go and save him,
• 44:09
  and everybody has to be like, dude, you can't fucking swim,
• 44:14
  And Hatchie runs right past Lufy and says, you humans are way too slow
• 44:20
  underwater. There's no point in you jumping in, and he's about to go
• 44:24
  in, but Duval even says to Hatchie, you're not even fast enough.
• 44:29
  You're not going to be able to do anything. And this is when we
• 44:34
  get came me jumping in And it turns out that in the sea, the
• 44:39
  fastest swimmer of all is a mermaid, which I kind of like that.
• 44:45
  They have something very distinctive about their ability and it's not like magical exactly.
• 44:52
  I just that they are able to be really fast. It's like a basic
• 44:57
  thing. But it's not I didn't really expected. I just kind of thought,
• 45:00
  Oh, the thing about mermaids is that they're hot chicks who can swim,
• 45:05
  and that's all you really need. I mean, who would argue with
• 45:07
  that. But the fact that she gets to do something here, Oh my
• 45:12
  god, there's a fly just like flying into my face repeatedly and it's just
• 45:15
  so rude and it's like, come very close to going to my mouth,
• 45:21
  and I just you, guys, Oh, I don't like summer in Texas,
• 45:24
  man, everything about it. It is so steamy, the sun is
• 45:29
  like a laser, and there are bugs everywhere everywhere. It is so gross.
• 45:37
  Anyway, So yeah, this is when her starfish is like, there
• 45:43
  is one creature even faster than those guys, and that is mermaids. And
• 45:47
  we see her heading after him, and she is just like, Oh,
• 45:52
  I am going to get you. Don't worry about it, Sangie. I'll
• 45:54
  be there in a second. And I wanted to ask ask you guys,
• 46:01
  I know that these little appendages appendages? Is that the word I want?
• 46:08
  Appendices? No, that's another thing too. What do you call it when
• 46:15
  you have like a syllable that goes at the end of a word. She
• 46:19
  calls him Sangi Chen, I think. And at one point with Lola,
• 46:25
  when Nami's pretending to be a guy, she calls herself Nami zo. And
• 46:31
  I don't know if the zoe is just meant to like sort of masculinize her
• 46:36
  name or if that's like turns it into a different sort of you know what
• 46:42
  I'm saying. But I was wondering if you guys could give me like a
• 46:46
  quick primer on those I don't know what to call them. Phrases isn't right
• 46:52
  either, you know what I'm talking. It's almost like an honorific, but
• 46:57
  I'm not sure if it really is, because honorific is usually like a separate
• 47:01
  word that goes that's a title you know, and I don't feel like this
• 47:07
  is quite that, so I'll just keep going and I'll check the comments in
• 47:14
  a minute. So anyway, she does indeed rescue him, and she like,
• 47:21
  those guys stand no chance. I really enjoy her getting to leave them
• 47:25
  in her dust. Meanwhile, everybody is starting to head back to the sunny
• 47:32
  because they are going to bust out this crazy weapon. And as they are
• 47:37
  doing this, there's this almost helicopter sort of situation. It's like this huge
• 47:46
  ship hovering above the sunny with like the fish, the flying fish flying in
• 47:54
  a circle as if they are propellers. It's like, that's kind of what
• 47:59
  we're going for here, and they have a massive anchor that they're holding,
• 48:06
  and the intention is that we are going to drop the anchor directly on the
• 48:13
  ship, break it into a billion pieces, sink you, and kill all
• 48:15
  of you. And Frankie is just like, hold up. I asked something
• 48:23
  you may not have heard of called chicken voyage, you guys. Chicken voyage
• 48:31
  is when the main around the sunny, the lion's head spins rapidly and sends
• 48:44
  them backward very quickly and suddenly. And I was like, chicken voyage for
• 48:50
  a second. I was like, but that's the lion. What do you
• 48:52
  mean? And then I realized he meant like, oh, you're being a
• 48:54
  chicken. You're like backing away. I live for these little developments finding out
• 49:00
  what the Sunny can do. I understand people being like nostalgic for the Mary.
• 49:09
  It's their first ship. It's a whole thing. But the Sunny has
• 49:16
  bells and whistles, and we just get more and more of them, and
• 49:21
  I really really like it. It's just a really fun development. So they
• 49:27
  go backwards. One of these guys who had dropped the anchor on them is
• 49:31
  like, what the fuck? How did they even do that? And Frankie
• 49:37
  heels for usap to get inside the prow and it turns out that the stairs
• 49:44
  that lead up to it you can pull them out, and there's a bunch
• 49:47
  of levers and stuff inside it. And Sangi is like, wait, what's
• 49:53
  going on? And he's getting given instructions, and all of a sudden,
• 50:01
  the Sunny's mouth drops open and you see the barrel of a cannon inside its
• 50:07
  mouth, and Frankie is like, all right, we're doing the charging up
• 50:12
  with the cola. Here we go, and this barrel comes out and fucking
• 50:19
  Duval is like, wait, wait, wait, what is that? What
• 50:22
  is that? And inside the sunny we've got dials that are building and everything
• 50:29
  is really starting to like amp up, and Frankie tells us up to get
• 50:34
  as many of the flyers in the circle of the sight as he possibly can.
• 50:38
  And there's a lot of them. I mean, there's like fifteen.
• 50:43
  He says, lock on with the button below you then pull the lever and
• 50:50
  it turns red. He pulls the lever, there's this slow build of like
• 50:54
  a white glow in the barrel of the gun, and then it shoot what
• 51:00
  looks like a huge laser, and as he pulls, Frankie also does something
• 51:10
  and it shoots. Did you see that? That bitch went right into my
• 51:16
  mouth? I hope it's dead. I hope it's dead forever. Oh my
• 51:23
  god, you guys, that was so gross. It hit my mouth.
• 51:30
  I don't know if I actually swallowed it or what. Oh my god,
• 51:34
  gross, gross, gross. It fires. Everything turns black and white for
• 51:42
  a second, which is super fun in the context of reading Creato right now,
• 51:45
  just if you know, you know, and the fucking place gets like
• 51:52
  demolished. There are all of the dudes who are on the Flying Fish,
• 51:57
  all of them go down. A bunch of the build things are destroyed,
• 52:00
  Like shit is It's really something And I couldn't be mad at all. When
• 52:08
  the camera pans over to Lufy, who is glowing with tears pouring down his
• 52:15
  face and stars in his eyes because he is so fucking impressed and in love
• 52:22
  with what the sunny just did that. I loved it so much, it
• 52:25
  made me so happy. Meanwhile, Duval is like, oh, oh wait,
• 52:31
  this isn't really what I wanted to do, and I just kind of
• 52:37
  felt bad for him, even though it didn't have to be this way.
• 52:39
  Dude, you did not have to pursue this. The way that you have
• 52:43
  this is on you. The guy had a hundred million berry bounty. I
• 52:45
  don't feel like that's a fight you want to start. I understand why you're
• 52:49
  taking it personally, but you like it's like the guy who goes to Morgan
• 52:55
  Freeman in What is It The Dark Knight Rises, I think, and he
• 53:04
  tries to tell him, I know who your boss is and what he does,
• 53:07
  and unless you pay me two hundred thousand dollars a month, I'm going
• 53:09
  to tell everybody, and mor Good Freeman is like, let me get this
• 53:14
  straight. You think that my boss is a masked vigilante who has access to
• 53:22
  unbelievable technology, and your plan was to blackmail this person good luck, and
• 53:34
  that's really the vibe. You're going after him with one hundred million dollars bounty.
• 53:38
  You best not, miss friend. You weren't ready for this fight.
• 53:44
  You're fighting a pirate on his turf, by the way, in the ocean,
• 53:47
  which is not your turf. Is expressly you have said you were not
• 53:52
  a pirate, and you just flubbed it. You flubbed it, you did
• 54:00
  so anyway, I'm just going to the chat here. Let's see. Florence's
• 54:08
  chan expresses the speaker finds a person endearing. Kami overuses it, which shows
• 54:15
  that she is an overtrusting person. Oh okay, Saraphim says, honorific is
• 54:22
  the right term, and chan denotes either talking to someone very young or the
• 54:25
  speaker feels very close to generally a girl as Koon is that for males.
• 54:35
  But she used chen, which is at least in the sub it said c
• 54:39
  H E N. Is that the same thing? Or is that because she
• 54:47
  was talking to Sanju, and she said Sanji chin Gus says, this one
• 54:53
  is specifically h I N C H A N. No, it was e
• 54:58
  N. But I don't know if that it's like you know, I don't.
• 55:01
  It may be that the sub just spelled it wrong. That's certainly possible.
• 55:07
  A lot of One Piece characters tend to have a variety of verbal quirks
• 55:10
  that aren't part of standard Japanese, like all of the weird laughs. I'm
• 55:14
  not sure what it's called specifically. Some characters and other anime do it too,
• 55:17
  but I think One Piece has the most characters that do it that I've
• 55:21
  seen. So maybe Chen is just her verbal tick and it's not like a
• 55:29
  thing. Saraphim says Gao can in the name from Gao the Japanese on amanapia
• 55:36
  for a lion's roar. Oh okay, gotcha, that's fun. So anyway,
• 55:43
  y'all, this weapon is dope as hell. And I want to mention
• 55:46
  too that at the same time the Sunny fires it, he has to create
• 55:52
  an equal and opposite explosion from the other end of it to keep the Sunny
• 55:58
  from just flying backward from the force of its own shot. Basically to cope
• 56:02
  with recoil, and I just that is such a wild thing to imagine that,
• 56:08
  Like you could be behind the sunny when it's firing at somebody else and
• 56:13
  still really have a bad, bad day. It might not matter that you're
• 56:16
  not the target. Like, just get out of the fucking way. I'm
• 56:21
  sorry, guys, you see him. He doesn't usually like wine and bother
• 56:24
  me while I'm recording. But I don't know what's up with him right now.
• 56:28
  I think maybe Owen got home with Pippin and he hears him out there.
• 56:32
  I don't know. Normally, he's very content to just sit on his
• 56:37
  little blanket over there, his bed. So okay, I gotta I gotta
• 56:45
  jump over to the part where Sanji has been rescued and he he's being held
• 56:53
  and Kimy's like I thought he was just like on the verge of drowning.
• 57:02
  But he's bleeding a lot, and I'm not sure what to do, and
• 57:08
  everybody's like, oh my god, he's bleeding what And it turns out it's
• 57:13
  a nosebleed because she's holding him like right up against her boobs, like just
• 57:22
  cradling his head, you know, and he is he has the heart eyes
• 57:27
  and just blood pouring out of his nose. I just really want to register
• 57:32
  my ongoing disbelief that a nosebleed is shorthand for being turned on Will. I
• 57:40
  don't think I'm ever going to quite get over that guy's that is just such
• 57:44
  a weird. It's just weird, right, Like that's not just me.
• 57:47
  So okay, this is the moment where we have this like huge animal that
• 57:54
  you've all has been riding on that's like a cow, and he's talking big
• 57:59
  game about how it's going to fuck them up, but Lufy just winds up
• 58:01
  basically going up to it and being like do you really want to do this
• 58:05
  or not? And it's almost like he hypnotizes it and it just goes down
• 58:08
  and it doesn't it's not like it's almost like it fainted. It's a real
• 58:15
  weird moment, and nobody else really seems to understand how he accomplished this either.
• 58:20
  But suffice to say, Duval is super mad because this was sort of,
• 58:23
  as he saw it, his ace in the hole, and Lufy just
• 58:28
  handles it and there's nothing to it. So then we get the wonderful conclusion
• 58:35
  to this whole mess, which is Sanji kicking the ever loving shit out of
• 58:42
  Duval's face, and eventually Duval's people come and are just like, pay your
• 58:49
  face, and he's like, what my face? And we jump ahead in
• 58:53
  time to everybody eating a ton of octopus fritters and he comes up on one
• 59:04
  of these little like wave rider things. I think he's on or is he
• 59:07
  on? I think he's on a flying fish actually, but it's just like
• 59:09
  sort of above water. We haven't seen them really ride like that that much.
• 59:14
  So, but he is super handsome and is very delighted with the changes
• 59:22
  that Sanji has rendered to his face, which he rendered with his kicking.
• 59:29
  He Sanji basically performed plastic surgery on this man with his feet, And I
• 59:37
  just really want to step back and acknowledge what a beautiful wrap up this is
• 59:44
  to this storyline, because like, it had to go this way for this
• 59:46
  guy to get out from under the wanted poster, right, there was no
• 59:52
  way that he could live his life because those posters have been handed out and
• 59:59
  are everywhereness. So the only option is for his face to change. Like
• 1:00:05
  even if they got a new photo of Sanji, it wouldn't change how many
• 1:00:08
  people had seen the original poster, and this guy is so happy and really
• 1:00:15
  like kind of a little bit too confident because of his looks now and keeps
• 1:00:21
  trying to flirt with Nami, and at one point is like gazing at himself
• 1:00:27
  in the mirror and not even listening to anything anybody is saying to him,
• 1:00:30
  and there are roses like animated floating around his head. It is really,
• 1:00:36
  it's amazing. It's such a stupid way for this to finish. I loved
• 1:00:39
  it so much. It's wonderful. I love when he's like looking at Nami
• 1:00:45
  and she's just patting her mouth with a napkin, and he thinks that she's
• 1:00:50
  blowing her a kiss or blowing him a kiss. That's a bit forward,
• 1:00:53
  but I accept and she's just like, oh my god, that's not what
• 1:00:57
  was happening. So I'm almost at a time I'm just gonna like move forward
• 1:01:04
  a little bit here, and we get some information from the Starfish about how
• 1:01:10
  they can reach the quote New World, and he's like, one of them
• 1:01:16
  is you leave your ship and you get a new one after you pass over
• 1:01:22
  the red line. But you guys are definitely not going to want to do
• 1:01:27
  that. It requires permission. It requires time, and of course, you
• 1:01:31
  know, even if you weren't who you are, then they don't like pirates,
• 1:01:37
  so it's going to be a problem for you. So what you are
• 1:01:40
  going to do is go through Fishman Island. But they, yeah, they
• 1:01:45
  have to go through Fishman Island, they have to go from underneath. I'm
• 1:01:47
  sorry for those listening. I had to pause because Sam is kind of being
• 1:01:52
  a butthead and making a lot of noise and knocking into my desk. So
• 1:01:55
  I'm trying to keep him appeased by petting him while I record that It's not
• 1:02:00
  as easy as it sounds. I should just get like a bed that's like
• 1:02:04
  level with my desk so that he can just be appear in my face while
• 1:02:07
  I record. I think that's the only way he'd be satisfied. These dogs
• 1:02:12
  just want to be by your side, like twenty four hours a day.
• 1:02:15
  It is very adorable but also tiresome. He's looking at me, see I
• 1:02:21
  stopped petting for an instant, and he's just like what the fuck? And
• 1:02:23
  she Sherry, I am your faithful servant and pet machine. So anyway,
• 1:02:32
  when they're like, well, we don't know how we're going to bring our
• 1:02:35
  ship down there. Camey is like, Oh, don't worry. Our next
• 1:02:39
  stop, we'll get the ship coated and Frankie's like, coated with what?
• 1:02:45
  And she says, oh, you'll see when we get there. And we
• 1:02:51
  get a look at this wild looking island. It's really really cool that has
• 1:02:57
  all of these bubbles. And what we find out eventually is that the trees
• 1:03:05
  there's like a sap in the ground and the air bubbles come up and get
• 1:03:09
  trapped in the sap and create these bubbles that only last temporarily. They're not
• 1:03:14
  forever, but they float in the air. And it's like, I'm assuming
• 1:03:19
  what the ship's gonna get coated in. I'm hoping that we're going to be
• 1:03:22
  in a giant bubble, which would be pretty wild, but yeah, it's
• 1:03:28
  a really neat looking thing. At one point, Lufy climbs onto one of
• 1:03:31
  the bubbles and like rides it into the air and then is genuinely like,
• 1:03:36
  wait what as it begins to dawn on him that the bubbles all around him
• 1:03:43
  are popping and he is very very high up. He falls quite away,
• 1:03:47
  and he's fine, but he does fall from a considerable height. I just
• 1:03:53
  think the bubbles are so cool. I'm a sucker for like bubbles as a
• 1:03:58
  motif in things like as a pattern or just I think it's because of the
• 1:04:03
  combo of the very pleasing symmetrical quality of the circles themselves. But then they
• 1:04:11
  always have that iridescent color scheme that's really pretty, and I just really like
• 1:04:15
  all those colors together. Yellow, purple, green usually are like the main
• 1:04:19
  colors are sometimes like a pink in there. So yeah, this place is
• 1:04:27
  like really really cool looking. And the mangrove trees, they're the largest in
• 1:04:33
  the world, and like Lufy calls the Manly mangroves, there's a total of
• 1:04:42
  seventy nine trees, and each one serves as its own little island, complete
• 1:04:45
  with tiny towns and facilities. The cluster is called the Sebodi Archipelago. I
• 1:04:51
  always want to say our trip pulago. I really do you guys. That's
• 1:04:58
  like just since I was a kid, I thought it was pronounced archipelago because
• 1:05:05
  I read it only I never heard it said, And once I found out
• 1:05:09
  that it was archipelago, my whole brain just exploded. It's just one of
• 1:05:14
  those words. And yeah, the trees are designated by numbers, so it's
• 1:05:20
  very easy to find your way around, and I love this when she's like,
• 1:05:26
  it's not going to be or hatchi, hatchie. He says that it
• 1:05:30
  will be pretty difficult to lose your way around here. But everybody looks over
• 1:05:34
  at Zora and it's like, um, I bet I know somebody who could
• 1:05:39
  lose their way around here. And there's some really neat potential with the way
• 1:05:45
  that the mangrove roots raise into the air and the dark, like there's like
• 1:05:51
  caves underneath them basically, you know. And I'm really curious what we're to
• 1:06:00
  find going on underneath the mangrove trees because there is so much we could There
• 1:06:05
  could be a whole other world down there, you know, as compared to
• 1:06:10
  everywhere else. This also really reminds me of something in the Major Arrant series,
• 1:06:15
  which is written by somebody who is friends with Will White, who is
• 1:06:17
  the writer of Cradle, So real big family over here and Cradle, you
• 1:06:24
  know, Will is obsessed with one Piece, and I have a feeling based
• 1:06:28
  on this, like the way this town is turning out, that maybe that
• 1:06:32
  writer is also a one Piece fan, because this feels like it could have
• 1:06:36
  been a distinct inspiration for something anyway. So yeah, this whole thing with
• 1:06:42
  the bubbles, I'm really excited to see how this all works out. And
• 1:06:45
  the way that the episode ends it's so strange. Well that's right, I
• 1:06:54
  forgot that Hotchie actually like tells us because I got totally preoccupied with what he
• 1:07:00
  demands of them. At the end of the episode, Nami says, what
• 1:07:04
  why are we here? You said something about getting the ship coded, and
• 1:07:09
  he says, we meet up with one of the island's coating specialists and have
• 1:07:12
  him slap a coat of this resin on your ship. That's all it takes.
• 1:07:15
  After that, your ship will be fully equipped for underwater travel. And
• 1:07:19
  Frankie is just like, wait, really is that okay? I really enjoy
• 1:07:27
  Frankie maybe getting excited potentially about how this new technology might be able to work
• 1:07:32
  for other things. I bet he's gonna want like a barrel of this SEP.
• 1:07:38
  So yeah, Hatchi is like, yeah, there's one guy I know
• 1:07:41
  in particular, so you'll be in really good hands with him. And we
• 1:07:44
  appreciate all of your help, and they're like yeah, yeah, and we
• 1:07:49
  also appreciate yours. And he says the one thing that I want to ask
• 1:07:56
  for you, is that when you meet the world nobles, they're from the
• 1:08:00
  Holy Land, and I'm not going to try and pronounce that name, he
• 1:08:04
  says. I know this is kind of fucked up, but no matter what
• 1:08:10
  happens in that town, you have to promise that you aren't going to fuck
• 1:08:14
  with them. I want you to promise. Don't matter what they do,
• 1:08:19
  even if they kill somebody right in front of you, you pretend like you
• 1:08:25
  didn't see anything happen, just move on and act like it was nothing.
• 1:08:31
  And the episode ends there, which I found kind of like a wild way
• 1:08:41
  to wrap things up, Like it's just so foreboding. But that's that's where
• 1:08:47
  we end. And I don't know what to think of this, Like I
• 1:08:50
  can't tell if he is reverent or afraid of them or you know, like
• 1:08:58
  I don't know what he's thinking here is so I'm way over time. I
• 1:09:02
  really have to go, But I appreciate you guys so much, thank you
• 1:09:05
  for hanging out, and I really I'm really looking forward to what we've got
• 1:09:15
  going on in this arc. We started out strong, even though like that
• 1:09:18
  wasn't part of the arc. I don't care, all right, guys,
• 1:09:23
  until next time to loom motherfucker's That was an unspoiled network podcast who as soon
