Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:09
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven seventy one through seven seventy three,
0:17
Speaker 1: A vow between two men, Lufy and Kozuki Momonosku, the
0:23
Speaker 1: legendary journey the Dog and the Cat and the Pirate King,
0:27
Speaker 1: and the Nightmare returns the Invincible Jack's fierce attack. In
0:35
Speaker 1: these episodes, I really enjoy it. Every time Lufy doesn't
0:41
Speaker 1: give everybody the response they're looking for, and this section
0:46
Speaker 1: was no different. He is telling Pomenoske, if you're gonna
0:52
Speaker 1: throw your fucking weight around, you better earn that shit,
0:55
Speaker 1: and I can respect it. Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome
1:18
Speaker 1: to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very
1:22
Speaker 1: much to Florian for commissioning this episode. And Florian is
1:26
Speaker 1: here in the chat with me as well. Appreciate having you.
1:30
Speaker 1: It's also noting noteworthy to me that Florian is here
1:33
Speaker 1: when it's the last recording of the day, which means
1:35
Speaker 1: it is latest fuck there, so I extra appreciate the
1:40
Speaker 1: effort of attendance. So these three chapters are really sort
1:47
Speaker 1: of the transitional chapters I kind of want to call
1:51
Speaker 1: them of, like we are going from a. We're going
1:58
Speaker 1: from the planning stages of the attack into a new
2:06
Speaker 1: part of the arc, and I'm really curious how this
2:08
Speaker 1: is going to shake out, because what I think is
2:11
Speaker 1: sort of compelling is that we have all of our
2:17
Speaker 1: friends agreeing to split up so that Lufy can go
2:21
Speaker 1: and rescue Soanji, and then that whole thing is interrupted
2:28
Speaker 1: by this attack on the elephant. And I don't know
2:33
Speaker 1: if they're going to try and like sort of have
2:38
Speaker 1: it both ways where Lufi is going to attack them
2:41
Speaker 1: on his way out to Soanjy. But I feel like
2:45
Speaker 1: this is gonna have to result in him postponing his
2:49
Speaker 1: original plans, because it's one thing if they're coming back
2:53
Speaker 1: and attacking Zoe, because we know that our friends, you know,
2:57
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to handle this, they've put.
2:59
Speaker 2: Them off before.
3:01
Speaker 1: But they're coming at this from the direction of let's
3:05
Speaker 1: take down the elephant itself, and from the way from
3:12
Speaker 1: the way everybody is reacting and the way that it's
3:14
Speaker 1: proposed by Jack. It seems pretty clear to me that
3:18
Speaker 1: this has never been attempted before, so it's very much
3:23
Speaker 1: more than it has in the past. It's like an
3:26
Speaker 1: unknown quantity in terms of how effective this can possibly be.
3:32
Speaker 1: And there's also of course, setting all of like the
3:35
Speaker 1: practical practical aspects of this aside. There is the fact
3:40
Speaker 1: that Momonosque and Loofy can hear a voice at the
3:45
Speaker 1: end of this last of the three episodes, and I
3:52
Speaker 1: think that it's the voice of the elephant. But it's
3:57
Speaker 1: weird because it's asking for them to give him an order.
4:03
Speaker 1: And I do not know what this means if it's like,
4:09
Speaker 1: is this elephant not allowed to defend itself unless somebody
4:16
Speaker 1: like gives him explicit permission? Because this elephant is over
4:22
Speaker 1: a thousand years old, right, Zo is a much older
4:26
Speaker 1: place than like the settled United States, and a thousand
4:33
Speaker 1: years i'd like there is I don't know how much
4:39
Speaker 1: anybody knows about this elephant and the founding of this
4:43
Speaker 1: place and how any of this works. And I am
4:46
Speaker 1: genuinely curious because this elephant has been you know, the
4:53
Speaker 1: whole way that it like pours water on itself. It's
4:56
Speaker 1: got a major impact on the land and the people
5:01
Speaker 1: living on it. It's not as if they are really
5:03
Speaker 1: able to forget that the elephant exists and is a thing,
5:07
Speaker 1: because it's interacting with the terrain all the time. So
5:14
Speaker 1: the question of whether or not they could have gotten
5:19
Speaker 1: to know the elephant before is it's like a valid question.
5:25
Speaker 1: But because of the fact that there's only two people
5:27
Speaker 1: that seem to be able to hear it, I'm very
5:30
Speaker 1: curious what that's about. I would have assumed this is
5:34
Speaker 1: like a dragon fruit thing or devil fruit thing dragon fruit,
5:40
Speaker 1: but apparently Brooke can't hear it. And I mean it's
5:46
Speaker 1: not like I don't know, does Momonoske have a D
5:54
Speaker 1: as his middle initial? Is this going to turn out
5:56
Speaker 1: to be like a D skill?
6:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
6:02
Speaker 1: I'm just I really am curious about both how what
6:09
Speaker 1: this is going to turn out to be and like
6:12
Speaker 1: whether or not it's going to result in Loofy not
6:15
Speaker 1: being able to leave to help Sanji the way that
6:18
Speaker 1: he planned, or if we're gonna sort of carry on.
6:20
Speaker 2: With that anyway. So I'm gonna back up and.
6:22
Speaker 1: We'll start from the beginning as usual. But yeah, I uh,
6:26
Speaker 1: I these episodes, once we get into this like Final Attack,
6:34
Speaker 1: I was re engaged. But I'm gonna be honest, you guys,
6:40
Speaker 1: I think where this show is at its weakest. I mean,
6:48
Speaker 1: you all know that I have a tendency to sort
6:50
Speaker 1: of tune out during long battle sequences because they can
6:54
Speaker 1: get really repetitive. However, I know that's kind of really
6:58
Speaker 1: specifically a me thing, and it's not necess necessarily like
7:01
Speaker 1: a weakness of the show. It's just sort of how
7:04
Speaker 1: I react to action sequences in anything. I will begin
7:10
Speaker 1: to tune out if they go on too long. In movies,
7:13
Speaker 1: you know, don't care how many explosions you decide to
7:17
Speaker 1: insert into this. I have already seen eleven other explosions.
7:23
Speaker 1: Throwing in an extra dozen isn't really going to get
7:26
Speaker 1: my attention. And this will happen in books as well,
7:30
Speaker 1: and The Cradle books were ones where like toward the end,
7:32
Speaker 1: it gets really action heavy, and I have said during
7:37
Speaker 1: coverage that there were long stretches that I straight up
7:40
Speaker 1: had to go back and re listen to, so I
7:42
Speaker 1: didn't because I tuned out. Now, that's all preference. I
7:49
Speaker 1: feel like that's all like a very distinct me opinion.
7:56
Speaker 1: But I think I could be agreed with by enough
8:03
Speaker 1: people to kind of come to the unanimous decision on this,
8:08
Speaker 1: And I'm curious how you all feel. I think that
8:14
Speaker 1: when the show starts to get into a lot of exposition.
8:20
Speaker 2: That is when it begins to lose me a little bit.
8:24
Speaker 1: And I'm not entirely sure, Like I don't have a
8:29
Speaker 1: great example that is like an example of everything I'm
8:34
Speaker 1: thinking when I say this, But we have a lot
8:37
Speaker 1: of info dump in both this section and the previous
8:41
Speaker 1: one regarding the pony glyphs and the history between cat
8:50
Speaker 1: Viper and dog Storm and Goldie Roger, and I feel
8:56
Speaker 1: like this is the sort of thing that could have
8:59
Speaker 1: been done in a way that was a bit more
9:02
Speaker 1: engaging than just sort of telling us.
9:04
Speaker 2: And it's not like we don't get.
9:07
Speaker 1: Little flashbacks and stuff as well, But it is still,
9:12
Speaker 1: in the end, just them standing with Lufy explaining to
9:17
Speaker 1: him what things are or who people are, or the
9:21
Speaker 1: relationship that they had. And if it were the only
9:26
Speaker 1: thing they were doing this with, I don't think it
9:28
Speaker 1: would feel so tedious isn't really the right word. It's
9:36
Speaker 1: just sort of so samey that after they have explained
9:41
Speaker 1: a bunch of other things in the previous sections, for
9:44
Speaker 1: us to come into this one and for there to
9:46
Speaker 1: be additional explanation of things and description of things, I
9:52
Speaker 1: started to definitely sort of zone out and have to
9:56
Speaker 1: come back and rewind and of like tune back in
10:01
Speaker 1: very specifically, because I was realizing that things were sort
10:06
Speaker 1: of like washing over me and I wasn't catching the details.
10:10
Speaker 1: So all that said, I do I do want to
10:13
Speaker 1: like apologize if there are details in this that I
10:17
Speaker 1: wound up missing that later on you're gonna be like,
10:20
Speaker 1: but they explained all this. I just it doesn't always land.
10:28
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the danger when.
10:31
Speaker 2: You do a lot of like drawn out.
10:38
Speaker 1: What mouth noises, I guess, you know, they'll be a
10:41
Speaker 1: person who starts to say and then and then.
10:49
Speaker 2: They were all killed.
10:50
Speaker 1: And it takes like two full minutes to get to
10:52
Speaker 1: the end of the sentence where we find out everybody
10:55
Speaker 1: died or you know anything, And I will literally find
10:59
Speaker 1: myself just like my mind starts to wander before they
11:03
Speaker 1: even reach the end of the sentence because it takes
11:07
Speaker 1: so long to get to the point. So it's like
11:11
Speaker 1: a combination of that and a combination of wishing that
11:17
Speaker 1: we took more time with certain details so that we
11:19
Speaker 1: could actually see those instead of it just being a
11:22
Speaker 1: story that we are told later. So all right, I'm
11:29
Speaker 1: jumping into the first of these three episodes here and
11:36
Speaker 1: this is when, like the last episode ended with Lufy
11:39
Speaker 1: finding out that the uh one of the samurai actually
11:44
Speaker 1: made it to Laughtail, and the episode is mostly about
11:53
Speaker 1: what happened to Momo's.
11:55
Speaker 2: Dad, what the deal is with the.
12:02
Speaker 1: Oh my god, his name help me out, Florian.
12:05
Speaker 2: What is the name of the guy they're about to
12:06
Speaker 2: go up against? And it starts with a K.
12:10
Speaker 1: But the way that the tone of the episode starts
12:14
Speaker 1: is Momonosk is crying and Lufy is sort of like
12:19
Speaker 1: pushing him to get the story out of him, because
12:22
Speaker 1: he is allowing the samurai to speak on his behalf
12:26
Speaker 1: about his own father, and it's sort of setting the
12:30
Speaker 1: tone for how Lufy feels about this entire thing. So there,
12:37
Speaker 1: and there's a moment like later where Nami is like, oh,
12:41
Speaker 1: poor Momonoske, and she sort of moves to comfort him,
12:46
Speaker 1: and Lufy actually like puts a hand out and stops her.
12:50
Speaker 1: And I already had my suspicions about like what was
12:56
Speaker 1: going on in his head, But once we get to
12:59
Speaker 1: the end and we see exactly how he has chosen
13:02
Speaker 1: to like approach this, I really liked it.
13:07
Speaker 2: I just.
13:09
Speaker 1: You know, It is kind of a weird thing because
13:13
Speaker 1: Maminoski simultaneously wants a loofy to bow down and wants
13:18
Speaker 1: to be in charge and treated that like he is
13:20
Speaker 1: in charge when he feels like it, but then when
13:25
Speaker 1: something is too big and overwhelming and emotionally impactful, he
13:32
Speaker 1: is very happy to fade to the background and let
13:34
Speaker 1: the samurai take it on for him. And if you
13:38
Speaker 1: want to be a leader, you can't do that now.
13:41
Speaker 1: Granted the kid is literally eight years old. I am
13:49
Speaker 1: very much a believer in that we underestimate kids in general,
13:55
Speaker 1: that in many ways they're smarter than we give them
13:57
Speaker 1: credit for, and that we should probably be like less
14:04
Speaker 1: protective of them overall in certain ways than we are.
14:09
Speaker 1: That said, it's always very difficult for me when I
14:13
Speaker 1: see a child, a literal child in the single digits,
14:19
Speaker 1: being told to behave more like a grown man.
14:24
Speaker 2: It's just.
14:26
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me,
14:29
Speaker 1: because like, nothing about that is real. It's it's pretend,
14:38
Speaker 1: but everything is pretend when it comes to leadership, Like, honestly,
14:43
Speaker 1: there's there can be truth in it, but it's all
14:46
Speaker 1: much more about your reputation and pr in a lot
14:49
Speaker 1: of ways than anything based in reality. So it's just
14:55
Speaker 1: it feels like demanding something really unfair. However, I guess
15:01
Speaker 1: if you're in the position of being a prince, you
15:05
Speaker 1: are going to be wielding so much responsibility that of
15:07
Speaker 1: course more is going to be asked of you than
15:11
Speaker 1: it would be asked of any normal kid. So I
15:17
Speaker 1: guess it's sort of like the same situation in some ways,
15:21
Speaker 1: as like the opening of Song of Ice and Fire.
15:24
Speaker 1: Once you get past the prolog, you are with Bran
15:29
Speaker 1: and he is seeing this guy get beheaded, and he's
15:32
Speaker 1: only seven years old, and he feels like that means
15:35
Speaker 1: that he is old enough that he can't cry or
15:37
Speaker 1: behave as if he is upset by this execution, he
15:41
Speaker 1: has to completely hold it together. And it just breaks
15:48
Speaker 1: my heart to see how little he is already feeling
15:52
Speaker 1: this way. So yeah, I just like I get where
15:58
Speaker 1: Lufy's coming from. I agree with him in terms of
16:06
Speaker 1: the impression that it's going to leave on his followers,
16:09
Speaker 1: the people around him, his men. I think that the
16:14
Speaker 1: advice Lufy is giving here actually is good and solid
16:20
Speaker 1: and will serve him in a long run, But it's
16:24
Speaker 1: just so deeply unfair that I.
16:29
Speaker 2: Don't like that it's good advice. Does that make sense?
16:33
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be valid.
16:36
Speaker 2: I just but that's the fucking way it works. I guess.
16:42
Speaker 1: So who asked me? Oh, Florian, says Kaido, King of
16:48
Speaker 1: the Beasts. Thank you, Florian. You have a different This
16:51
Speaker 1: happens sometimes with you. You're icon changed. So for a
16:54
Speaker 1: second I thought you were a different person, but both
16:56
Speaker 1: of the you are Florian.
16:58
Speaker 2: So let's see.
17:01
Speaker 1: I'm trying I'm jumping around so much as I'm talking
17:04
Speaker 1: about these things, So apologies for when I'm like trying
17:08
Speaker 1: to regroup and figure out where to begin with it,
17:11
Speaker 1: like talking about the next session because section, because uh,
17:16
Speaker 1: everything that I'm talking about takes like the whole episode
17:21
Speaker 1: or sometimes all three episodes, and then I have to
17:24
Speaker 1: like back up again. We have a mention of the
17:29
Speaker 1: Void Century and the reminder of how like the world
17:33
Speaker 1: government arose during the Void Century and they have made
17:37
Speaker 1: it illegal for anybody to research or investigate the Void Century,
17:42
Speaker 1: which is just honestly, really really funny. It's the sort
17:45
Speaker 1: of thing that's like, you know, if they have the
17:48
Speaker 1: power to enforce it, then I get doing it this way,
17:51
Speaker 1: but it is so transparently suspicious. There's nothing about this
17:57
Speaker 1: that doesn't scream we did something extra realmly probably like
18:03
Speaker 1: super villain level shady. That it's just everybody has to
18:12
Speaker 1: know that's what was done, but they are all intimidated
18:17
Speaker 1: enough or just in that weird place that we're in
18:20
Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty five, where it's like, yeah, I
18:23
Speaker 1: know that this is completely corrupt and unjust, but I.
18:26
Speaker 2: Have a job that I have to get to.
18:27
Speaker 1: I have to pay my electric bill, I need to
18:30
Speaker 1: go get gas, like I have an actual life to live,
18:34
Speaker 1: and yes, all of these other things are unfair and suck,
18:39
Speaker 1: but I can't be bothered. It's not relevant to my
18:42
Speaker 1: immediate life, so whatever you know. And so, like Robin
18:50
Speaker 1: is thinking about all of this in regard to the
18:54
Speaker 1: ponent glyph and all of the implications.
18:57
Speaker 2: About what was going there.
18:59
Speaker 1: Going on there, we get the reminder of all of
19:02
Speaker 1: the people that she was working with to translate stuff
19:04
Speaker 1: and do research getting murdered. And u Zorro says, so
19:11
Speaker 1: you're saying that Kaido was using do Flamingo and Caesar
19:15
Speaker 1: to try and learn these secrets of the world or
19:18
Speaker 1: whatever from you, since you guys were Odin's servants, and
19:25
Speaker 1: I just want to mention like that his name being Odin,
19:28
Speaker 1: it's O D E N. And I keep getting brought
19:33
Speaker 1: up short thinking that it is, you know, the like
19:36
Speaker 1: Norse god, but uh and I it may be a
19:39
Speaker 1: reference to the Norse god, but it's not spelled the
19:41
Speaker 1: same way. And also laughtail. I didn't realize that it
19:45
Speaker 1: is like literally the words laugh and then tail like
19:49
Speaker 1: a story and it is that is so I don't
19:54
Speaker 1: know how I didn't see a subtitle saying laughtail up
19:58
Speaker 1: to now and didn't realize how it was spelled. I
20:02
Speaker 1: just saw the subtitles when I watched these episodes today
20:05
Speaker 1: for the first time and was like, oh my god,
20:08
Speaker 1: that's what that that's what they're saying. Like it was
20:11
Speaker 1: just a weird realization because I thought it was all
20:14
Speaker 1: one word, and then it was just sort of a
20:16
Speaker 1: strange It almost sounds like Swedish left tail, like you
20:20
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Realizing that these are actually like
20:23
Speaker 1: words in English that are just put together. I should
20:26
Speaker 1: have realized because a lot of the islands are named
20:30
Speaker 1: in this way. This is like the naming convention that
20:32
Speaker 1: he goes with a lot of the time, but uh,
20:36
Speaker 1: I was not getting it, so apologies for that. So anyway,
20:40
Speaker 1: this is when Oosup is saying, like, wait, if you
20:43
Speaker 1: knew the mysteries of these ponoglyphs all along, why didn't
20:47
Speaker 1: you tell anybody? And Keineman says, we actually don't know anything.
20:53
Speaker 1: Odin didn't tell us any of the secrets. So they're
20:56
Speaker 1: chasing us and they're certain that we know, but we don't,
21:01
Speaker 1: and if we did, we still wouldn't fucking tell anybody.
21:05
Speaker 1: But they're never gonna stop chasing us because they don't
21:08
Speaker 1: believe that we don't know anything. So the only option
21:12
Speaker 1: left is to fight. And it was very funny to
21:17
Speaker 1: me here because I had a moment and this is like,
21:20
Speaker 1: I don't actually believe this, just to be clear, but
21:23
Speaker 1: I definitely had a moment of thinking, you guys, like
21:28
Speaker 1: the Minks all swore up and down that Riizo wasn't here,
21:33
Speaker 1: and then it turned out that he was. So you saying,
21:37
Speaker 1: we have no idea anything about this, I would be
21:41
Speaker 1: excused if I didn't believe you. I think I do
21:45
Speaker 1: believe them. I actually there's not really a good reason
21:49
Speaker 1: for them to lie to this group right now. But
21:52
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, y'all are pretty hardcore when it
21:57
Speaker 1: comes to keeping secrets for the people that you have
22:02
Speaker 1: loyalty to. So if it turned out that you did know,
22:05
Speaker 1: and we're just saying you didn't hear, I wouldn't be surprised,
22:09
Speaker 1: you know. So uh yeah, he says, we all failed.
22:17
Speaker 1: This is Kinemon to protect our lord as Samurai. We
22:20
Speaker 1: bear a great burden of shame, but we shall press
22:23
Speaker 1: onward for one cause into our memories is Odin's final request.
22:30
Speaker 1: Until that deed is fulfilled, we cannot allow ourselves a
22:34
Speaker 1: moment of respite. And dog Storm and cat Viper are
22:38
Speaker 1: both chiming in as this as well. And it was like, okay,
22:42
Speaker 1: what was the last thing he said? And Kinilmon says
22:47
Speaker 1: before he left the last words to us, and everybody
22:53
Speaker 1: like looks up word, do.
22:54
Speaker 2: It for me?
22:55
Speaker 1: Open Wanos borders. So it turns out that Wano is
23:03
Speaker 1: like isolated from the entire rest of the world. Nobody
23:08
Speaker 1: is allowed to leave the country and nobody is allowed
23:13
Speaker 1: either to enter either. But if the borders are opened,
23:18
Speaker 1: then they can interact with other countries. And this is
23:24
Speaker 1: very interesting to me because like the fact that they
23:27
Speaker 1: are sealed, and the fact that they are the ones
23:29
Speaker 1: that had historically created these ponoglyphs, and the fact that
23:34
Speaker 1: there is a void century that nobody is supposed to research,
23:37
Speaker 1: and all of this to me is pointing to likelihood
23:45
Speaker 1: that actually there is some evidence on Wano of what
23:50
Speaker 1: happened during the Void century, and that the isolation of
23:55
Speaker 1: this island in this community is to protect whatever secret
24:00
Speaker 1: they're keeping. And yeah, I am in one of those
24:08
Speaker 1: those places where like anything that is officially sanctioned At
24:14
Speaker 1: this point, I'm just like, well, that must be bullshit.
24:16
Speaker 1: There's something shady about this. There's no evidence, necessarily, but
24:21
Speaker 1: there is a pattern, which I consider evidence in its way,
24:25
Speaker 1: and I think that the isolation of Wano is probably
24:32
Speaker 1: being framed as like a benefit for the community itself,
24:36
Speaker 1: maybe even to like protect them from something, but is
24:41
Speaker 1: very likely simply about keeping information locked down. So let's see,
24:51
Speaker 1: Condrea is talking about how they have shamed ourselves, and
24:55
Speaker 1: you know that he died on our watch basically, so
24:59
Speaker 1: our only way of saving face is to follow his orders,
25:05
Speaker 1: kill the current shogun and open the closed borders to
25:09
Speaker 1: our country, Kinemon says. Achieving said feet is our deepest desire,
25:16
Speaker 1: but due to the combined strength of the Shogun and
25:18
Speaker 1: Kaido WANO's stuck in a lockdown back at home, the
25:23
Speaker 1: seeds of rebellion are slowly being sown, yet we fall short.
25:28
Speaker 1: Our numbers are lacking as of yet, and our victory
25:31
Speaker 1: is a distant hope. I don't remember if they say
25:37
Speaker 1: who the Shogun is. I feel like they've said the
25:41
Speaker 1: name of this person and I can't remember who it is.
25:47
Speaker 1: Throughout all of this, in the background, Momo is crying
25:51
Speaker 1: like into his sleeve, and this is the moment where
25:54
Speaker 1: Nami starts to go toward him. So we reach the
25:59
Speaker 1: point where where finally Kinemon says, you know, I hate
26:04
Speaker 1: to ask this because of everything that you guys have
26:06
Speaker 1: done for us already, but I we really need your
26:11
Speaker 1: help in taking.
26:14
Speaker 2: Down the Showgun. Will you please?
26:16
Speaker 1: I know it's a lot to ask, but it's what
26:18
Speaker 1: we've been working toward this entire time. Will you please
26:22
Speaker 1: help us take him out? And it's kind of fun
26:27
Speaker 1: where everybody is sort of.
26:30
Speaker 2: Giving these like.
26:34
Speaker 1: They each explain why they think it makes sense to
26:41
Speaker 1: jump into this fight, and you know, all of this
26:46
Speaker 1: setting up the fact that they all are on board.
26:51
Speaker 2: It's a given in their minds.
26:54
Speaker 1: They don't feel any way about them asking for this
26:57
Speaker 1: as a favor after everything that they've already been through.
27:01
Speaker 1: In their minds, it's just like, yeah, what another adventure.
27:05
Speaker 1: And we were sort of like going in this direction
27:09
Speaker 1: with things anyway, it doesn't matter, like, of course we'll
27:13
Speaker 1: throw down with you guys. And then we have like
27:16
Speaker 1: it cuts to Loofy and they're looking at him for
27:19
Speaker 1: his response, and we get an interstitial and then it
27:25
Speaker 1: comes back and I was kind of delighted, honestly with
27:30
Speaker 1: the fact that, like there's that break where you're just
27:33
Speaker 1: looking at him waiting for his response, because they don't
27:36
Speaker 1: do that very often with Loofy, specifically because he's so
27:41
Speaker 1: impulsive that they just sort of let it ride a
27:43
Speaker 1: lot of the time, you know. So it comes back
27:47
Speaker 1: to Loofy after the interstitial and he just says, I refuse,
27:57
Speaker 1: and I refuse. Is it's just such a way, like
28:03
Speaker 1: it's not just no, it's not just like, you know,
28:11
Speaker 1: we need to figure things out. There's something very declarative
28:14
Speaker 1: about I refuse that. I was like, oh, word, that
28:17
Speaker 1: feels like like it's got some mustard on it, you know,
28:22
Speaker 1: and everybody is just wait, what.
28:24
Speaker 2: Did he say? What I think he said? And Usup
28:28
Speaker 2: is like, you need to think it through.
28:30
Speaker 1: You can't just turn them down in this way, and
28:33
Speaker 1: they all to start to get genuinely upset about the
28:36
Speaker 1: fact that these guys are our friends. Why would you
28:38
Speaker 1: leave them in the lurch like this. Usup starts to
28:42
Speaker 1: like beat him up and like shake him and goes
28:45
Speaker 1: up to the Samurai and it's just like, hey, give
28:47
Speaker 1: us a second, we just need to talk things through.
28:51
Speaker 1: Just let us figure it out. Nami is like, you know,
28:57
Speaker 1: she gives in again to her instincts to sort of
29:04
Speaker 1: protect Momo and is like, hey, don't listen to him.
29:09
Speaker 1: Our idiot captain can just be like this sometimes, and
29:13
Speaker 1: so she's like wanting to hug him again, and Brooke
29:18
Speaker 1: is saying the soft part out loud, which is he's
29:24
Speaker 1: just a little kid. Everybody take it easy on him.
29:28
Speaker 2: The adults will figure.
29:29
Speaker 1: It out, and we will basically tell him how it's
29:33
Speaker 1: gonna be. And then it's like, Womanoske understands, I think
29:42
Speaker 1: what it is that Lufy is attempting to do here.
29:46
Speaker 1: He's like clocking the lesson underneath it all, I think.
29:52
Speaker 1: So he walks right past Nami and you hear him
29:59
Speaker 1: in his head head and he's thinking, he's remembering the
30:02
Speaker 1: moment where his father was taken away from him, and
30:05
Speaker 1: it's honestly really sad. He's in silhouette and he's just
30:09
Speaker 1: this little tyke, you know, just the pain of this loss.
30:14
Speaker 1: And uh, he says to I'm trying to get to
30:20
Speaker 1: the spot where he was an enemy to both of
30:23
Speaker 1: my parents and also responsible for their untimely deaths. And
30:27
Speaker 1: I want revenge on I want nothing more than to
30:30
Speaker 1: grow up and become strong so that I may one
30:33
Speaker 1: day smite him and avenge my mother and father. I
30:37
Speaker 1: wish to protect my loyal servants as well, and Knemon
30:44
Speaker 1: starts to chime in and be like, ah, man, dude,
30:48
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't expect you even to be involved
30:52
Speaker 1: in this conversation, and he seems to not really know
30:55
Speaker 1: what to do about it, and then we go back
30:57
Speaker 1: to Momo and he's like, but I'm too small to
31:00
Speaker 1: really do anything. I am useless in a battle, So
31:05
Speaker 1: I am begging you for this favor. Please help me fight,
31:10
Speaker 1: and he falls to his knees and bows in front
31:13
Speaker 1: of Loofy and says, I am, I must beg of you,
31:19
Speaker 1: and then Lufy says, that's more like it. Hey, Momo,
31:27
Speaker 1: let's make a deal. Let's team up. Just leave Kaido
31:32
Speaker 1: to me, and it's an alliance. And he holds his
31:35
Speaker 1: hand out and it's so cute because Momo grasps his
31:39
Speaker 1: hand with a both of his own hands, like he
31:43
Speaker 1: presses his face against his hand like it's very much
31:46
Speaker 1: a it feels very emotional, and Lufy is like no, no, no, no, no,
31:51
Speaker 1: grab it tight like this, go bam, you know, like
31:55
Speaker 1: you've got to have a feeling of power and purpose
32:00
Speaker 1: behind it. And I just really liked this bit of
32:05
Speaker 1: theater from Loofy because I don't Loofy, I'm sure doesn't
32:11
Speaker 1: see it as theater, even though it is. I think
32:15
Speaker 1: when he does all this stuff, he means it, and
32:18
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people mean it. But that
32:20
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's not theater and that you mean
32:23
Speaker 1: it because you were taught in the first place that
32:26
Speaker 1: it means something specific. So yeah, like Mama has been like,
32:31
Speaker 1: but I am grabbing your hand and he's like no, no, no,
32:33
Speaker 1: this way, And we go around to all of the allies,
32:38
Speaker 1: and Kinanmon himself is saying, you know, it didn't occur
32:46
Speaker 1: to me, but we were infantilizing him. So I guess,
32:51
Speaker 1: like straw Hat really made a good point here, and
32:54
Speaker 1: probably this is the beginning of a new era. And
32:58
Speaker 1: I had noticed at the beginning of this episode, and
33:00
Speaker 1: I I really want to preface this by saying, I
33:06
Speaker 1: do not think that this episode is the first time
33:09
Speaker 1: that it's happened, but I noticed it specifically this time
33:13
Speaker 1: for the first time.
33:14
Speaker 2: I don't know why, but at.
33:16
Speaker 1: One point the show transitioned from calling Lufy a boy
33:24
Speaker 1: whose body became rubber after eating the Gumgum fruit to
33:28
Speaker 1: now calling him a rubber man. And I'm not sure
33:33
Speaker 1: if this is actually meant to be an indication that
33:35
Speaker 1: he has grown up, or saying rubberman just has a
33:39
Speaker 1: better ring to it than rubber boy, or what you know.
33:43
Speaker 1: But I noticed that they were calling him a man,
33:46
Speaker 1: and then they had this whole thing happen with Momonoske,
33:49
Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, everybody's grown up, even though
33:52
Speaker 1: Momonosque is still he's too.
33:54
Speaker 2: Young to have grown up. I'm so sorry, he's eight
33:57
Speaker 2: years old.
33:57
Speaker 1: This is not fair to ask of him, but also
33:59
Speaker 1: it is to be done, so you know, like, what
34:02
Speaker 1: are you gonna do?
34:05
Speaker 2: And I do like that.
34:07
Speaker 1: Law comes up to Loofy and is like, hey man,
34:09
Speaker 1: you really should have run this by me first, and
34:12
Speaker 1: Lufy is like, well, but it's cool for us to
34:16
Speaker 1: do this, isn't it. And Las says, well yeah, but still,
34:21
Speaker 1: and I couldn't help but laugh because I really need
34:26
Speaker 1: you to figure this out. Law. You aren't not in charge.
34:30
Speaker 1: You aren't really a consideration. Even Loufy is gonna do
34:35
Speaker 1: what he gonna do. And if you happen to be
34:39
Speaker 1: able to come along, great, and if you aren't able
34:44
Speaker 1: to come along, he'll see you tomorrow. It's just not
34:48
Speaker 1: about you, bro, And you're not You're not part of
34:51
Speaker 1: this really not really you are, but it's always just
34:56
Speaker 1: because you decided, and it's not because that's the expect Haiti,
35:00
Speaker 1: even that Louvi has I don't think you know so anyway,
35:06
Speaker 1: That is the first of these three episodes, and then
35:11
Speaker 1: the next episode, the Legendary Journey The Dog and the
35:15
Speaker 1: Cat and the Pirate King. This is when Loofy finds
35:20
Speaker 1: out about the fact that Dog Storm and Cat Viper
35:26
Speaker 1: traveled with.
35:29
Speaker 2: Gold Roger.
35:31
Speaker 1: And it's also when Lufy says that I will help
35:34
Speaker 1: you guys on one condition before we go anywhere. My
35:38
Speaker 1: crew is down a man right now, and he says
35:43
Speaker 1: something like, Soanji is as strong as ten thousand people.
35:48
Speaker 1: He says something that's like really pretty awesome in terms
35:53
Speaker 1: of how he thinks of Sonji's capabilities, and like, Sonji
35:58
Speaker 1: is hella strong. So I'm not at all mad at
36:03
Speaker 1: him making this comparison, even though it might be a
36:05
Speaker 1: little bit over the top. I don't even know that
36:07
Speaker 1: it's that over the top, you know. And Dogstorm didn't
36:13
Speaker 1: know about any of this because he was asleep while
36:15
Speaker 1: this was going on and kat Viper hadn't had a
36:17
Speaker 1: chance to bring him up to speed.
36:19
Speaker 2: So he's just hearing for the first.
36:20
Speaker 1: Time that Sanji is about to like marry into Big
36:24
Speaker 1: Mom's family and everybody else like they're keenum one as well.
36:31
Speaker 1: Is just sort of like, oh, I didn't understand, That's
36:33
Speaker 1: why he wasn't here. So yeah, he's like, everybody pause
36:36
Speaker 1: here until I'm able to go collect him. Here he is,
36:41
Speaker 1: He's as strong as a thousand people. Trust me when
36:44
Speaker 1: I say this'll be worth it. And Zoro says that
36:47
Speaker 1: I'm worth two thousand people, and Nammy just pats him
36:51
Speaker 1: on the head and says, of course you are. And
36:54
Speaker 1: I love her reaction to this, I really do. I
36:58
Speaker 1: hadn't noticed. Like the previous episode, when Robin is saying
37:03
Speaker 1: that her friends are strong and they'll take care of her,
37:05
Speaker 1: Nammy says something about how anybody that gets in their way,
37:09
Speaker 1: she'll kill them and steal all their money. And I
37:12
Speaker 1: don't know why, but everybody else is just threatening to
37:15
Speaker 1: do violence, but not me, being like, I'm going to
37:18
Speaker 1: do violence and then I am going to.
37:19
Speaker 2: Make money off it. I was like, you are so ruthless.
37:22
Speaker 2: I love you so much.
37:25
Speaker 1: So dog Storm is like, hey, big Mom is nobody
37:29
Speaker 1: to fuck with, just like be prepared, and he says, oh,
37:36
Speaker 1: I'm not fighting Big Mom. This is loofy. And he says,
37:40
Speaker 1: I'm taking Lion Viper, which is what he is calling
37:45
Speaker 1: the well lion guy that is going to be his
37:51
Speaker 1: ally here, which I really enjoy Lion Viper.
37:56
Speaker 2: Why not sure?
37:58
Speaker 1: So this this is when we go over to Jack's ship.
38:03
Speaker 1: He's got sheepshead dangling upside down from the pirate ship
38:10
Speaker 1: equivalent of a fucking meat hook, and this dude is bloody,
38:15
Speaker 1: and it is clear he is being punished for what
38:18
Speaker 1: he did for.
38:22
Speaker 2: Just not succeeding. I just want to be very clear
38:26
Speaker 2: that when we are in.
38:27
Speaker 1: Gin Rummy's head, she says something like he'd better not
38:32
Speaker 1: fucking tell this dude that we left those people alive
38:36
Speaker 1: and got our asses handed to us. And when I
38:40
Speaker 1: realized that, like this is how angry Jack has gotten
38:44
Speaker 1: when he doesn't even know the whole story and how
38:47
Speaker 1: bad it all is, I definitely had a like, oh
38:50
Speaker 1: damn kind of moment because I thought that's what he
38:53
Speaker 1: was punishing him for, and I have to assume that
38:56
Speaker 1: if he knew the rest of it, he'd literally kill him.
39:00
Speaker 1: So this is the point where Jack says something about
39:06
Speaker 1: how we've been coming out this the whole wrong way.
39:08
Speaker 1: We need to attack the elephant itself, and jin Rummy
39:12
Speaker 1: is like, the thing is colossal. Where would you even
39:17
Speaker 1: start on taking something.
39:18
Speaker 2: Like that down?
39:20
Speaker 1: And it turns out the legs is where you start,
39:26
Speaker 1: which does make sense, but it's.
39:29
Speaker 2: Uh, it's really you guys.
39:35
Speaker 1: I can't emphasize enough how much I hated the scene
39:43
Speaker 1: of seeing them firing on this poor elephant's legs. This
39:48
Speaker 1: surprises no one. You all know what a fray and
39:52
Speaker 1: softy I am when it comes to the animals on
39:55
Speaker 1: this show. I'm not like, this is not interesting. In
40:02
Speaker 1: other words, I understand, and I'm sorry, but I have
40:07
Speaker 1: to tell you that it was a big struggle for
40:12
Speaker 1: me personally to not fast forward because it goes on
40:16
Speaker 1: longer than I was gonna say, longer than I wanted to.
40:21
Speaker 1: Of course it does because it's happening. The only way
40:24
Speaker 1: for it not to go on longer than I want
40:26
Speaker 1: it to go on is for it to not happen
40:28
Speaker 1: at all, which isn't an option here.
40:30
Speaker 2: But it's just so sad because like.
40:33
Speaker 1: The way that the elephant is being described by Jack
40:38
Speaker 1: is that it's gotten old and its skin has gotten
40:42
Speaker 1: thin and weak, which just really kind of like hammers
40:47
Speaker 1: home for me, how elderly this elephant is, do you
40:53
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And so it just made me
40:55
Speaker 1: feel all the sadder because it made me think of
40:57
Speaker 1: old people with papery skin.
41:00
Speaker 2: And then you actually.
41:01
Speaker 1: See the cannonballs hitting its legs and the way that
41:08
Speaker 1: its skin sort of just comes away and breaks apart
41:11
Speaker 1: and flutters like the way that paper does when it's
41:15
Speaker 1: been burned and the wind catches the ash, it will
41:18
Speaker 1: all look like it's still one piece that's burned but
41:22
Speaker 1: stayed like, you know, for a moment, and then the
41:25
Speaker 1: wind hits it and it just And that's what the
41:28
Speaker 1: skin of this elephant is doing.
41:30
Speaker 2: And it was distressing y'all. Like I honestly, if I'm.
41:38
Speaker 1: Being real, I guess that the reason why this hasn't
41:42
Speaker 1: been done before is simply that nobody has really had
41:46
Speaker 1: an issue with Zoe as a country, so nobody has
41:51
Speaker 1: been trying to take Zoe down. But this is the
41:57
Speaker 1: smart way to do it, I think, you know. But
42:01
Speaker 1: that does not mean that I am at all on board.
42:03
Speaker 1: I absolutely am not. But it is like a smart
42:07
Speaker 1: move in its way. I hate that. I hate having
42:12
Speaker 1: a villain who is smart sucks. So this is Loofy
42:20
Speaker 1: has this conversation about Shanks with Cat Viper and he's like, oh, yeah,
42:27
Speaker 1: I knew him. I guess that's why that hat looked
42:32
Speaker 1: so familiar to me. And he's like, so were you
42:36
Speaker 1: guy's pals and he says, yeah, the cat and I
42:38
Speaker 1: traveled with him and Roger years ago, and Lufy just
42:44
Speaker 1: literally stops dead in his tracks and then has to
42:47
Speaker 1: run and catch up and is like, wait, you were
42:49
Speaker 1: part of his crew, and dog Storm interestingly says, I
42:56
Speaker 1: suppose that would be one way of putting it. We
43:01
Speaker 1: accompanied Lord Odin, serving as his retainers everywhere he went.
43:06
Speaker 1: We even once sailed on whitebeard ship.
43:09
Speaker 2: The moby Dick.
43:10
Speaker 1: So when Odin was recruited by Roger, we naturally escorted
43:14
Speaker 1: him as well. Oos Up gets very excitable here and
43:21
Speaker 1: he gets out of a notebook and he starts taking notes.
43:25
Speaker 1: You guys, I, for the life of me, do not
43:28
Speaker 1: remember when when us Up turned into the records guy?
43:36
Speaker 1: Is this? Like?
43:37
Speaker 2: Has this been happening? And I just wasn't really noticing it.
43:41
Speaker 1: I just found it. It stood out here in a
43:44
Speaker 1: way that it hasn't other times. And I was sort
43:49
Speaker 1: of like thinking that if I were to have predicted
43:53
Speaker 1: who was going to have this job, I think I
43:56
Speaker 1: would have assumed it would be Robin, because she's the
43:58
Speaker 1: one who's all about history, and so I would think
44:02
Speaker 1: that wanting to keep a record of things would be
44:05
Speaker 1: a lot more important to her than it would be
44:07
Speaker 1: to Oosop. But yeah, let's see, I'm having a little
44:13
Speaker 1: trouble keeping up with all of this. Now, let's see here,
44:17
Speaker 1: and he's looking through his little book. We didn't join
44:21
Speaker 1: those guys when they made it to Laughtale, he says,
44:25
Speaker 1: is cat Viper, And he's like, so, first Whitebeard ship
44:30
Speaker 1: and you said it was Odin and the dog and
44:32
Speaker 1: the cat. Then Odin was recruited by Roger and he
44:36
Speaker 1: took you to with him. I miss anything, and cat
44:40
Speaker 1: Viper says, I remember it quite clearly.
44:42
Speaker 2: We had so much fun. Those were the days.
44:46
Speaker 1: And we still don't know exactly what happened with cat
44:50
Speaker 1: Viper and dog Storm, but they apparently were like still
44:53
Speaker 1: getting along during this part of the their relationship. And
44:59
Speaker 1: cat Viper is just saying, all of the things that
45:02
Speaker 1: they discovered while they were on the road, and there's
45:04
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that's like what our straw hat
45:07
Speaker 1: people have also run into, you know, the Skypeia and
45:13
Speaker 1: the Fishman Island.
45:16
Speaker 2: YadA YadA. Yeah.
45:20
Speaker 1: This is when they start, like they put their arms
45:22
Speaker 1: around each other and start singing as they remember old times,
45:28
Speaker 1: and Loofy asks Kinemon about them and whether they also
45:32
Speaker 1: went and he says, no, we were back in Wano.
45:35
Speaker 1: We try to stop Odin from leaving home, but he
45:39
Speaker 1: wouldn't listen to us. As we mentioned in our conversation before,
45:44
Speaker 1: Wana is forbidden from intermingling with other countries, and this
45:47
Speaker 1: is strictly enforced, so strictly that even stepping foot outside
45:52
Speaker 1: its perimeter is considered a felony. Lord Odin was somewhat
45:57
Speaker 1: of a malcontent and was not shy about expressing his
46:00
Speaker 1: doubts about the restrictions of segregating our home, and he
46:05
Speaker 1: sought camaraderie with white Beard and Roger and their crews.
46:08
Speaker 2: Because of this.
46:11
Speaker 1: Honestly speaking, they were honorable men. Yet if we allowed
46:16
Speaker 1: him to sail with them, there'd be outrage. So our
46:19
Speaker 1: duty was clear. And Keeneman says this like it's really
46:27
Speaker 1: shameful that they had to do it, but also, you know,
46:30
Speaker 1: being defensive of if this was our job, almost like
46:33
Speaker 1: he thinks Lufy is going to be upset with him,
46:35
Speaker 1: and of course, like Lufy could not care less. He's
46:39
Speaker 1: just like, oh, okay, so you weren't there whatever. He
46:41
Speaker 1: doesn't care about these sorts of nuances here. He just
46:44
Speaker 1: cares that they have met Shanks and know who he
46:46
Speaker 1: is and is excited by that. So this is when
46:52
Speaker 1: Frankie says, oh, if you wrote on Roger's ship, then
46:55
Speaker 1: you met Tom, who was the shipwright that I apprenticed under.
47:00
Speaker 1: And I keep forgetting about the connections between so many
47:03
Speaker 1: people and gold Roger and then the straw Hats, not
47:08
Speaker 1: all of them necessarily, but this whole thing with Tom,
47:11
Speaker 1: like I had straight up forgotten. And both Dogstorm and
47:15
Speaker 1: Catpiper are very impressed by this relationship. So then we
47:23
Speaker 1: have this interesting moment with Namy where I feel like
47:26
Speaker 1: I wasn't totally getting it. But Nammy asks them, are
47:30
Speaker 1: you sure about this route? And she holds up her
47:34
Speaker 1: log pose, the one that has like the three. She says,
47:38
Speaker 1: see the needles. Usually to navigate to our next destination,
47:42
Speaker 1: we use the location that these three are pointing toward,
47:46
Speaker 1: shouldn't we continue to track them? And she says this,
47:52
Speaker 1: and it says in the subtitles, all gasp I don't
47:59
Speaker 1: get it. Why are they gasping? I don't even understand
48:04
Speaker 1: really what the log poses are telling us, because one
48:07
Speaker 1: is pointing in a different direction than the other two,
48:10
Speaker 1: and the like just the moment of the question and
48:17
Speaker 1: the way that this like the reaction that she gets
48:21
Speaker 1: It feels like she said something very dramatic here and
48:26
Speaker 1: I wasn't understanding it at all, and she says, like,
48:30
Speaker 1: you know, we followed Traffy with his viaver card, which
48:32
Speaker 1: is what led us to Zoe, and you know, we've
48:36
Speaker 1: found the phonoglyph which points to Laughtail. But according to
48:42
Speaker 1: Crocus at the Twin Capes, if you track the logs,
48:45
Speaker 1: every single pathway will eventually converge into one trail. I
48:50
Speaker 1: pretty much always assumed that's where Laughtail would be located.
48:55
Speaker 1: And Crocus is somebody that uh Brooke had tried to
49:01
Speaker 1: bring up earlier, and Nommy interrupts him to get to
49:04
Speaker 1: her point first. And so when his name comes up,
49:08
Speaker 1: cat Viper is very excited and it's just like, oh, man,
49:11
Speaker 1: I love that guy. I haven't seen him in a
49:13
Speaker 1: long time. How is he doing. Loofy chimes in about
49:17
Speaker 1: Laboon and that it's been a couple of years, but
49:19
Speaker 1: last time we saw him he was doing great, and
49:23
Speaker 1: he was our ship's doctor. I remember that back in
49:26
Speaker 1: the day he was always on the search for some
49:28
Speaker 1: pirate crew and Brooke, I bet that was mine. They're
49:33
Speaker 1: all dead now. And then nom Mey chimes in, enough
49:37
Speaker 1: with the chit chat. I'm trying to talk about something serious.
49:41
Speaker 1: Heren me, you are so savage girl. Oh my god. No.
49:49
Speaker 1: Me is like, it's such a weird thing with this show,
49:52
Speaker 1: how uninteresting so many women characters are. But he did
49:57
Speaker 1: something so fun with Namy that I'm just like, where
50:00
Speaker 1: is this again? Like, just do this again? Have somebody
50:05
Speaker 1: who's who's complicated and layered, you know, somebody who simultaneously
50:10
Speaker 1: wants to do the right thing and also wants to
50:12
Speaker 1: rob you very much. Just find something like this again. Man,
50:17
Speaker 1: give us all some complex characters. So Dogstorm says, well,
50:24
Speaker 1: if you want to see where the log pose leads
50:26
Speaker 1: you next, then you can just follow it. This is
50:30
Speaker 1: certainly a location where they're all there is certainly a
50:34
Speaker 1: location where they're all pointing, and everybody again has this reaction,
50:43
Speaker 1: and like it's just like, oh wow, really, I don't
50:48
Speaker 1: understand why anybody is behaving in response to these statements
50:51
Speaker 1: the way that they are. It's so I really feel
50:55
Speaker 1: like I'm missing something here. And then Dogstorm goes on, However,
50:59
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that your journey lies beyond
51:03
Speaker 1: that position. It's steering towards and Nami says, what do
51:09
Speaker 1: you mean?
51:10
Speaker 2: And there's this.
51:12
Speaker 1: Very dramatic like camera swoop and zooms in on her
51:16
Speaker 1: eye and she's sweating, and it's really like illustrated in
51:21
Speaker 1: such a way as to be a moment of huge revelation.
51:26
Speaker 1: And I was just watching this like I feel like
51:28
Speaker 1: I am supposed to be having a reaction to all
51:30
Speaker 1: of this that I am not having, and I don't understand. So,
51:35
Speaker 1: Dongstrom says, usually when they reach the end of the trails,
51:39
Speaker 1: they have a bit of a revelation. They arrive at
51:42
Speaker 1: a truth about the ancient writing it inscribed on the
51:46
Speaker 1: ponyglyphs and the civilization that created them, as well as
51:54
Speaker 1: the existence of the unseen island Laughtail.
51:59
Speaker 2: And let's see.
52:02
Speaker 1: Dogstrom says, when Roger reached that point, he had to
52:05
Speaker 1: start his adventure anew and it fades to present and
52:10
Speaker 1: he says, the crocus you mentioned was also a part
52:14
Speaker 1: of the pirate King's crew. He was a real know
52:17
Speaker 1: it all type. He would not tell a lie unless
52:20
Speaker 1: he wasn't fond of someone. The location you'll find at
52:24
Speaker 1: the end of the path is the Laftail, the Fabled Isle.
52:27
Speaker 1: It's the final destination of the grand line. In fact,
52:31
Speaker 1: this is a flashback, it's the very existence. Let us.
52:35
Speaker 1: He's the only person who made it there. And Nami says,
52:39
Speaker 1: so it's not at the end of the route, but
52:42
Speaker 1: beyond it. And Nami says, so from the start we've
52:47
Speaker 1: been on a journey.
52:49
Speaker 2: Beyond any path.
52:52
Speaker 1: And again really slow pan around and then there's a
52:59
Speaker 1: moment where ever everybody begins to congratulate her, and all
53:05
Speaker 1: of this is just let's see what is it that
53:08
Speaker 1: she says at the end here she looks up at dogs.
53:12
Speaker 1: She's still wearing this purple dress, and I kind of
53:15
Speaker 1: want her to just stay wearing this forever, to be honest. Okay,
53:19
Speaker 1: this is it where she says, I get it. So
53:22
Speaker 1: there really was no need for me to worry in
53:25
Speaker 1: the first place. We weren't actually falling off course at all.
53:29
Speaker 1: Until now, I only had a piece of a much
53:33
Speaker 1: larger puzzle. I so Crocus didn't mislead us. The logs
53:39
Speaker 1: are correct, and we're well on our way. They're still
53:42
Speaker 1: leading us toward a converging point. But Laughtail lies past that. Okay,
53:50
Speaker 1: Florian is in the chat. He says, I could explain
53:53
Speaker 1: it in detail, but she was questioning what they were saying,
53:56
Speaker 1: not trusting them. So shocked, but she was just wanting
54:02
Speaker 1: to make sure that they are on the right track
54:04
Speaker 1: since the new info conflicted with the old one and
54:07
Speaker 1: wanted to clarify. Old info followed the pose, new info
54:11
Speaker 1: follow the ponoglyphs. So everybody was behaving shocked because she
54:17
Speaker 1: had the nerve to just be like, I'm trying to
54:20
Speaker 1: get this straight basically, and then all of it be like,
54:25
Speaker 1: oh yeah, new info followed the ponoglyphs. Well, it's weird
54:33
Speaker 1: to me that, like nobody was totally sure where the
54:39
Speaker 1: one piece was really, so the fact that you were
54:43
Speaker 1: going to have to adjust, like, I don't know, this
54:49
Speaker 1: just seems so expected to me. I feel like the
54:53
Speaker 1: way that this is animated is made to make it
54:57
Speaker 1: seem way more dramatic than it feels like it at all.
55:01
Speaker 1: And then like him congratulating her for being so sharp,
55:06
Speaker 1: she's just actually repeating back what they have literally said
55:10
Speaker 1: to her.
55:12
Speaker 2: I don't get like, I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry.
55:15
Speaker 1: There's just something about this whole scene that I feel
55:17
Speaker 1: like I'm supposed to be taking away a point and
55:21
Speaker 1: it all is not particularly exciting. I don't know, it's
55:26
Speaker 1: just weird. I like seeing her get praised and for
55:30
Speaker 1: everybody else to praise her and appreciate her, but I
55:32
Speaker 1: definitely was personally like, I don't understand what even happened here.
55:39
Speaker 1: So this episode ends with a cat Viper mentioning that
55:43
Speaker 1: he wants to get in touch with somebody who was
55:46
Speaker 1: from the white Beard Pirates the Phoenix, and I really
55:51
Speaker 1: enjoy in the next episode when Lufy can't remember who
55:54
Speaker 1: that is and everybody tries to describe the Phoenix to him,
55:58
Speaker 1: and the only person who successfully gets it into his
56:01
Speaker 1: head is I think Robin, who says he's the one
56:04
Speaker 1: who looks like a pineapple, which that would absolutely work
56:07
Speaker 1: on me. For the record, with the characters in the show,
56:10
Speaker 1: everybody looks so wild that you would have to like
56:12
Speaker 1: shorthand it in that way, because how else do you
56:15
Speaker 1: keep track of people. I kind of like knowing that
56:17
Speaker 1: Lufy has as hard a time tracking all of the
56:21
Speaker 1: characters in this show as I do.
56:24
Speaker 2: So yeah, this, uh, let's see. Oh right.
56:29
Speaker 1: This is when kat Vibrus starts talking about the grudge
56:32
Speaker 1: war since the fight the Commander and his folks up
56:36
Speaker 1: and disappeared, and if Marco's still alive, I've got a
56:43
Speaker 1: good idea where he might be. So let's see if
56:47
Speaker 1: my hunch is right. And yeah, this is the part
56:51
Speaker 1: where Lufy is like, wait, who are you talking about?
56:53
Speaker 1: And we finally get to the bottom of this.
56:56
Speaker 2: We'll meet there and prepare for war.
56:58
Speaker 1: Agreed, Let's up a vaver card for keenumon as well,
57:02
Speaker 1: and Lufy is like, all right, it's a plan.
57:05
Speaker 2: Let's do this.
57:08
Speaker 1: Sorrow says, see, you better not get lost. I posted
57:12
Speaker 1: a video in the discord and I said, this dog
57:16
Speaker 1: reminds me of Zorro, and it was this.
57:19
Speaker 2: I think it was like a.
57:22
Speaker 1: H oh my god, one of those little fluffy ones.
57:25
Speaker 1: It starts with a pee I can't remember. But it's
57:27
Speaker 1: looking at the window and it sees a bird and
57:29
Speaker 1: it's yapping and screaming. And his owner is like, all right,
57:32
Speaker 1: all right, I'll let you out. You can chase the bird.
57:34
Speaker 1: And he opens the door and the dog goes to
57:36
Speaker 1: the complete opposite end of the yard and is like
57:39
Speaker 1: barking up at the fence there as if that's where
57:42
Speaker 1: the bird was. It was so Zorro coded you guys,
57:46
Speaker 1: I was cracking up. Oh my god. So anyway, this
57:52
Speaker 1: is when all of the minks show up and they're
57:54
Speaker 1: very excited because they are going to throw a party.
57:57
Speaker 1: And it's so fun because when people are like why
58:00
Speaker 1: would you throw a party right now, they're like, because
58:03
Speaker 1: of this and this and this and this, and there's
58:05
Speaker 1: all kinds of reasons to be throwing a party actually.
58:08
Speaker 2: And it's sort of sweet. I did like this moment, and.
58:13
Speaker 1: Loofy is like wanting to jump in of course and eat,
58:18
Speaker 1: but Nami has to be like, dude, you just had
58:22
Speaker 1: a feast like the day before yesterday, and your friend
58:26
Speaker 1: is in trouble.
58:27
Speaker 2: So are we gonna head out or what?
58:29
Speaker 1: And he's like, wait, I didn't intend for you to
58:32
Speaker 1: come with me, and she's like, of course I'm coming.
58:36
Speaker 1: How are you gonna sing out without a navigator? And
58:39
Speaker 1: then uh, oh my god, I'm so sorry. She says, yeah,
58:46
Speaker 1: tell me, can't you loufy? And then Chopper loufy me too.
58:50
Speaker 1: Peckham's is severely injured. He needs a doctor, and Peckham's like,
58:54
Speaker 1: he does his whole thing about what Peckhams is and
58:57
Speaker 1: isn't allowed to do it's very strict regimen.
59:00
Speaker 2: Brook wants to.
59:02
Speaker 1: Come so that he can sing to them and soothe
59:05
Speaker 1: their souls and you know, help them out if they're
59:08
Speaker 1: ever starting to get down, and Nomy says, I think
59:13
Speaker 1: we'll be fine without you.
59:15
Speaker 2: But Brooke says, both.
59:17
Speaker 1: Of us allowed Sony to be escorted away, so how
59:21
Speaker 1: am I supposed to cope?
59:22
Speaker 2: This is not fair?
59:24
Speaker 1: And Lufy asks Kinemon if this is okay, But Kinimon.
59:30
Speaker 2: Is like, bro you are you're their boss.
59:33
Speaker 1: Why would I tell you that you can't take them
59:36
Speaker 1: with you? Of course you can. And also I wish
59:39
Speaker 1: I could fucking go, but you know, like we got
59:42
Speaker 1: to do things in the way that we have to.
59:45
Speaker 1: It just sucks because I know that I owe Sonji
59:49
Speaker 1: as well, and so not going to his rescue makes
59:52
Speaker 1: me feel kind of shitty. But Frankie chimes in and says, look,
59:57
Speaker 1: if we add any more people to this re mission,
1:00:00
Speaker 1: it's going to get too sloppy. So that's the limit
1:00:04
Speaker 1: I think of everybody.
1:00:06
Speaker 2: You should take with you.
1:00:07
Speaker 1: Bust the wedding, get him out of there and come home,
1:00:10
Speaker 1: and we will be all set.
1:00:11
Speaker 2: It'll be great, and just.
1:00:14
Speaker 1: As we are, like all right, it's about to go on.
1:00:18
Speaker 1: There is a huge ripple through the water. We hear
1:00:23
Speaker 1: something like trembling cat vipers. Fur stands up, and they
1:00:28
Speaker 1: begin to realize that they are underattack, and it is
1:00:32
Speaker 1: this poor elephant who is being targeted, and I hated
1:00:36
Speaker 1: it so much. The elephant's name is Zunesha, which has
1:00:44
Speaker 1: not been mentioned up to now, I don't think, but yeah,
1:00:48
Speaker 1: and then we have Lufy and Momo both hearing words
1:00:54
Speaker 1: and not knowing where they're coming from or who is
1:00:57
Speaker 1: talking or anything, so we will have to see what
1:01:03
Speaker 1: this is about. I'm assuming it's the elephant, but I
1:01:06
Speaker 1: don't know why they're the only ones who can hear it,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm curious about.
1:01:12
Speaker 2: So all right, I'm excited.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think the exposition isn't done like
1:01:18
Speaker 1: super well, and I think that can be.
1:01:20
Speaker 2: But I also.
1:01:23
Speaker 1: Like that we have things set in place for us
1:01:26
Speaker 1: to move into the next part of the story, depending
1:01:29
Speaker 1: of course, on how things work out here, so we'll see.
1:01:33
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just really really want to save Sonjy.
1:01:39
Speaker 1: I really want to get that on the road, So
1:01:41
Speaker 1: let's save Zanesha and hurry it up, all right. Telling
1:01:45
Speaker 1: the show. To hurry is just it's a failing proposition.
1:01:48
Speaker 1: I shouldn't bother, all right, guys, Well, thank you all
1:01:52
Speaker 1: for joining me, Thank you Florian for commissioning this and
1:01:54
Speaker 1: being in the chat. I really appreciate you. And until
1:01:57
Speaker 1: next time to Lou motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled network.
1:02:31
Speaker 2: Pat
