  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes five seventy two through five seventy four.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Many problems lie ahead, a trap awaiting in the New World.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Finally time to go, goodbye Fishman Island and to the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: New World, heading for the Ultimate Sea. In these episodes,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: our friends just have their final moments at Fishman Island.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: There's another like sort of weird emergency happening with the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: tamate box, and yet they leave and we don't really
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: get to see what happened with that. Welcome to spoil Me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode, and Florian,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as usual is here in the chat with me. Apologies
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for being late. Trying to set up my new computer
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: did not work out on the first try, so I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: had to go get my old one and rehook it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: up to everything and get started there on the older one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So a little bit of a delay, but I'm here,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and I actually so Here's one of the things that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm mixed about these three episodes, mostly because it takes
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: so long for our friends to get going, and I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: have just been very eager for this particular arc to end,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and I really expected that we were going to be
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: leaving on the first of these three episodes. Nevertheless, I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: glad we're getting out of there, but I am really
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like the whole thing with her name is Big Mama,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Is that right? It's odd how she's being sort of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: like set up as probably having a grudge against them
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: because of this box, but we don't actually get the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: fallout from that. It's just sort of put out there
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: as something to be worried about. But then our friends
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: move on somewhat quickly, which I was expecting this to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: delay them even more from leaving, and I'm kind of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: relieved to find that that isn't how it went. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: all right, let's start from the three or with the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: first of these three episodes. Many problems lie ahead a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: trap in the New World, and this, like the fact
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that Lufy has given away the treasure, turns out to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be a bit of an issue here because there is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: an explosive that I think the right hand Minister is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the one who's talking to them, is he the one
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that's the sea horse, But he is talking about how
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: grateful they are for saving Big Mom says Floren, Okay,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: cool about how grateful they are for saving Fishman Island
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and made them some tea, and it's just chatting with
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: them before they leave. And the mention of the fact
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that they're going to be leaving is deeply distressing to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the princess, who she spends a lot of time crying
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in these episodes. And Guys, I am going to stand
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: by the fact that I'm a little hopeful that despite
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: her her apparently larger role as like this incredibly powerful weapon,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that we won't have to see her very much, or
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: at least for a while, because it's something that I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: become a little bit more aware of when Owen is home,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: especially when he comes home to take a nap. But
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I notice it by myself, of course, it's just I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: get more conscious of it. Her voice is so piercing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's even more piercing than like Choppers, and Chopper at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: least has a sort of like it's high pitched, but
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: there's also like a throatiness to it that sort of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: brings it down a notch. But the princesses, and this
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is obviously for the dub I have no idea, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: with the original voice actress if it's the same thing.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But I find myself like recoiling when she begins speaking,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: especially when she's crying, because it's so shred and piercing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that I don't even hear what she's saying because I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: am distracted by my pain from her voice. So I'm
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just we make a pinky swear that we're gonna come back,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh God, I knew we
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: were going to have to deal with her again based
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on the nature of the role she's going to apparently
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: serve in the larger story, but still so in this scene,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it's Robin, Nammy, and Oosop who are all gathered together.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Frankie is still he has got off to deal with
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the ship, and there are some other stuff apparently no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: me says that he's learning to do with it. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: then the Minister gets the list of valuables that were
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: stolen out of the treasure chamber, and he is surprised
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at how many things have been taken, and he realizes
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that the matte box is part of the list and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gets this expression on his face. So he has decided,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit confused on this, you guys,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He says, like after it was stolen ten years ago,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and that was Horty that stole it ten years ago, correct,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So is the addition of this explosive to the box
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like a pretty new thing that he just recently did,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And it's just sort of you know, the thing that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking was when did you find the time
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to even do this at this point? Like everything is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: so hectic, you know. But his concern, understandably when he
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: goes and talks to the King, is that our friends,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the straw Hats, saved our asses, and we just gave them,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: unknowingly a booby trapped gift that could kill them, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: how are we going to make sure that they don't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: open it? When the straw Hats return, they're very relieved
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: because it seems like they haven't opened it yet, so
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have the chance to tell them now. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: then there is the added twist of Loofy having given
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: over all of the treasure to Big Mom and doing
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: this to appease her, which means that very likely, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I would, of course were i her, Big Mom is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: going to interpret this as a purposeful trap, that she
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is being disrespected, that he said, you can take all
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of this treasure just because he knew that there was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a bomb planted in there and he was fucking with her.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: We know that this is not how Loofy functions, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, there's no reason to assume the best of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: him if you don't know him. So yeah, we're starting
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: off this sort of beef that it's I think it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: just explained enough for me that it's skating past one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of my least favorite tropes, which is beef that begins
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: with a complete misunderstanding, which has been for those who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are listening to my coverage of House at the Dragon
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: with Rashaan a big complaint for me in that show,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: because I have felt like we had in the original
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: material a couple of characters that were ambitious and grasping,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and I found it very interesting to see because women
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: characters aren't portrayed that way often. And then the show
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: made it that, oh, they're both really good people who
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just misunderstood each other and got caught up by accident
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: pretty much, and I don't really have a lot of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: patience for that. So the fact that this is sort
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of like we're starting a beef because of this misunderstanding
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: at the very least, the bomb was set up in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: order to stop somebody opening that BT, and it's just
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a sort of series of events. But the whole way
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that we've come to this point feels reasonable enough that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I am willing to let go of it. And I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: love that Nami. She has this whole scene where she's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: like telling Loofy that she understands why he did what
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he did and that he was probably didn't have another
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: choice and he was doing what he thought was right,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and she seems like she's going to be really reasonable
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: about it, and then she just beats him on the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: head and is like, but you didn't have to give
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all of it away, which is true, that's fair. This
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is the kind of thing that I always like struggled
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: with when I was a kid. Whenever there's a show,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: whether that be like a a TV show or well,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'll say mostly this happened with television shows just because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it was such a comedy stereotype like this was one
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of those really tropy storylines was oh my god, our
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: favorite characters won the lottery, and anytime that would happen,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: even though I would like hope and pray as a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kid that they got to keep it and just live
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: out the fantasy that I wanted as a child of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: having unlimited money. Of course, by the end of the episode,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: something has to happen so that they don't win the lottery,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or they lose the ticket, or something stupid happens and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it all goes out the window because we have to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: reset back to ground zero for the start of the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: next episode. For sitcoms, and this show, of course, does
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this a lot where we have all of this this
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: treasure and then something occurs in which they get completely
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: wiped out, and the one time that doesn't happen, we
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: end up with this dope ship. So it's not like
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that wasn't we haven't always had that happen with this show.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: There have been times where they have been able to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: indulge and get some really cool shit, But oftentimes we
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: have to keep our friends from getting too wealthy or
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: any sort of financial obstacle isn't really going to be
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a problem for them later in the show, and you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: kind of need that to be a problem in order
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for other things to work out, Florian said. Lufy also
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: said he will make Fishman Island his territory, so he
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: has beef with Big Mom already. I would say that's fair. Yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that's fair. But the problem is though if he gave
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: her the treasure, it would feel like at least the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: beef is like a little bit on hold. But because
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of what might happen with her open the box, it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like likely that she'll take out her wrath on Fishman
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Island if she can't find Loofy, which is a really
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that's a bummer side effect for Fishman Island after everything
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that has happened. Now, when the what am I calling
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: him the counselor the minister minister? When he goes and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: speaks to the king, he shares his own concerns that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: are you know exactly what I just said of just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: like but she's going to be so mad though, And
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: basically the King is like, hey, Bud, don't worry, we
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: have seventy thousand new soldiers that we got out of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I keep wanting to say flea bottom because that's like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the dregs of society in the Song of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Ice and Buyer Universe, But from the Fishman District, guys,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like you got to know what I'm gonna
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: say to this probably, but it is just so wild
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to me that the happy ending for the inequality in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Fishman Island is to like just shut down a whole
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: area and make people leave their homes and we're just
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: gonna act like there are no families living there, that
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it's all just bad criminal men and make them all
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: become soldiers. Which is I mean, it is this the best, Like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it's just so true to how the real world works
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in terms of the only way out for a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of people who are in bad positions and don't have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: options other than going into the military if they want
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to go to college, you know. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the fact that we're in this fantasy universe where ostensibly
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: there could be any neat number of ways of dealing
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: with this problem, and yet the author so profoundly lacked
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the imagination to do something more interesting when he has
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: wild imagination regarding so many other things. With the story,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I find it just very revealing. I feel like it's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it's actually truly sad because it's just like it just
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: always feels like, are we doing this again? Really, this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is what we've come up with. And so the fact
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that he's like, oh, don't worry about it if she
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: has beef with us. We have all of these like
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: dudes that we've basically conscripted into service out I it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: just that is not a solution to me. But that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is what he says to the minister and to Jimbay,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because Jimbay is talking to him about how he himself
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: has an agreement, and Jimmy says something interesting that's like, basically,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I don't have a written contract, but I have a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: verbal agreement, and those are harder to break, which I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't entirely sure if like, I feel like it's just
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: sort of supposed to be that he promised, and a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: promise person to person is meant to be like much
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: more honorable to like, your honor depends more on keeping
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that kind of promise than it does on honoring a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: business arrangement, which I guess I don't. It's whatever the case,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: he is going to break off of this agreement and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: try and team up with Loofy again. Well again, he's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: going to leave with Lufy as a straw hat for
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the first time, but he's going to be helping Lufy again,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: because that is really how The War the Best wound
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: up going the direction it did, so I consider gen
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Bee as having worked with Lufy already Florian says, yeah, again,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Oda had the right idea, but the execution is clunky.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Also true that is true to life. Yikes, Yeah, you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it's it's the sort of thing that it's funny because
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I have just reached a point of such complete frustration
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: with the way that our society is set up that
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm fully in on universal basic income. I just don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: see the harm in it. And it's the kind of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: thing that's practically a curse word in front of certain people,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and for me, that's the solution. You give them money,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and we just don't. There's something about Americans specifically, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I think think sort of like Western attitudes, that we
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to admit that a problem can genuinely be
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: solved by throwing money at it when it's like a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: societal problem based in poverty, because we see that as
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: sort of vulgar and also erases the fault from the equation,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and we really want to be able to blame the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: poor for their own poverty. So if we are proved
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: wrong that the poor are capable of doing like some
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: incredible things, if they are given the resources to not
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: simply be surviving and scraping by now, we've got to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: face all of these other prejudices that we have had
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: about the poor this whole time, and that really up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: ends this hierarchy that we have in our mind about
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: how the rich or rich, because they deserve to be there,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: they deserve to have more, and that just really isn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: something that the hierarchy we currently have is willing to tolerate.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: We have got to just completely go in on banging
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: that drum about how if the rich or if the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: poor just stopped getting Starbucks every day, how much money
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: could they save. And it's so funny how disconnected that is,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: because I remember the stop getting coffee every day thing
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that was always circulated when I was young, like in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the early two thousands, when I was just starting off
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: going to college and I was breaking off on my
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: own and needing to manage my own budget, that like,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: stopped buying coffee every day. Argument got like it was
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: just touted as this. It was a very condescending, patronizing
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: thing to say. And I really took it at the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: time for granted that they were saying this because this
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: was something that people genuinely I knew. I didn't, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, that must be something that a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: lot of people struggle with or else it wouldn't be
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the touchstone recommendation that everybody makes. And it wasn't until
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I started to get older that I was like, there
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are very few people that go get themselves a five
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: dollars coffee every morning, that is not especially these days,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: like most of us don't have the luxury of doing that.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I've stopped going to Starbucks altogether in light of everything
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with Palestine. But even if we had like a local
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: coffee shop, that would be a treat, you know. But anyway,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm totally off topic here as usual, So here I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: am okay, I'm going to back up a little bit
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and go to Wet Hair Caribou again and Florian correct
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. But we like don't really see
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: what happens to wet hair Caribou once our friends lead
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Fishman Island Dew. We because what basically, Caribou wakes up
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and he is like in this I don't even know.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He's in some alley or something, and he is really
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: feeling himself because he thinks that he still has all
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of these treasures inside his body. Because reminder, he turns
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: into like mud basically, so it like he reaches into
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: his own chest to find it and it's not there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: He is outraged at this and is looking around for like,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: who could have possibly stolen it? I really do enjoy
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: how much he's like emphasizing the fact that they stole
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: something that I fairly stole and finders keepers kind of thing.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So eventually, when he is perusing the crowds out on
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the street, he comes to see these two do dudes
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: who are working for Big Mom, and they are carrying
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all of this treasure and he mistakenly thinks that these
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: guys stole it from him, when we know it was
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: actually fairly given, and he comes up on them, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it's like a funny scene because this guy, all he
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: ever does, there's a real sort of overlap in his
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: attitude as there is Tizio's attitude. But just Fishman or
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Fishman white Hair Caribou is never ever in doubt of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that he can be whoever he is about
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to go up against, and even after having his ass
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: handed to him repeatedly recently, he is so sure every
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: time he does anything that like he's going to really
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: make an impression and they'll be sorry there's no fear
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in him at all. It's all. It's completely like i'd
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: driven and uh so, yeah, he's running down the street
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and he sees the lion and the eggman and he's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: shouting at them like how dare you steal this? And
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: h the two of them seem coming and are just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: like what is this guy's deal? Like, oh, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: like he can't come at us, and he attempts this gatling.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that he also himself has a gatling power.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if we have seen this before, but
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't remember it. And so Caribou tries this, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things where the gatling
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is just going and going and going. For a second,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: all of this like smoke begins to billow up and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it skewers the lion. And then when it clears, you're
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: expecting to see the lion like laid out, covered in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: bumps and bandages, but instead he is inside a turtle shell.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And so it turns out that he is a zone
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: type of what do you call it? Oh, my god,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: devil fruit eater, devil fruit power owner? What do you call? Like?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: How is that usually worded? I guess it's just like
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: he has devil fruit powers. But there's not really like
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a shorthand verb or noun for it is there that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I know of. But yeah, so he has this ability
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and like the gatling when Lufy does a gatling, I
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you know, his whole thing is actually using his arms
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: in just a very repetitive sort of manner that has
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the like percussion percussive quality of a galling. But what
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: hair caribou is actually like armed with. I don't know
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: if it's supposed to be that the mud turns into
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: this galing. I think that's what it's supposed to be,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: although it genuinely looks like it's metal when he's using it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: The whole thing, the fact that this is something that
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: can be done with a mud power doesn't entirely ring
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: true to me. I mean, there's actual fire coming out
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of the barrels of this gun. But nevertheless, I did
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: think it was funny because like he clearly thought he
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: ate and he's just yelling like that's what you get
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: when you like steal from me. And when this dude
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: gets up and I had thought I didn't realize it
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was a turtle shell for a second, I thought that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it was a armadillo because his little tail is sticking out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It just very much looked like an arm And you know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: but this lion stands up and just punches the living
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: daylights out of Cariboo in a really satisfying moment. This dude,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it is not nothing. I think that he has used
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: hockey to do it, if I'm not mistaken. Like it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: felt like there was more to this than just a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: regular punch. And the way that Cariboo goes down, he
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: is really out. You know. So this guy is uh.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: He says, the people with logia powers always end up
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: dying young because you fools think that this power makes
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you completely invincible, which was a really interesting observation. I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: feel like I could definitely see that happening for myself.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I am, unfortunately somebody who can get complacent
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: about things because I have a tendency to one laziness
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and two if I get something to a place that
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I like it, I don't want to change anything. And
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I could definitely see getting a power and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: just kind of taking for granted that like I'll be
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: able to fight anybody, no problem. But yeah, this dude,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: really it's embarrassing and like I feel that wet hair caribou.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: When he is left on that street, that is the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: last that we see of him. So my concern is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: that he has found a way to stow away on
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the sunny and I hope I'm wrong, because I don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: like this guy. He's not even like a fun villain anymore.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I I really kind of want to leave mostly everything
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: from this arc behind, including this dude. I don't know
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: if he had stowed away, if we would have seen
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: him by now. I feel like probably he would just
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: hang out until they reach land somewhere, and then he
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: would sneak off on land by himself because he can
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: use them for transport. But he knows that he is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: no match for Loofy at this point, and so he
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want any of that smoke, so he would just
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: try and, like Alex Mackett, onto the ship somewhere as
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: like a puddle of mud. That was a band, wasn't it. Anyway.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody who sees this fight on the street are really
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: really impressed, and apparently weren't aware of what Big Mom
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: was able to do, or not her specifically, but like
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the caliber of her henchmen is a lot higher than
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they were ever expecting. So it's a very uh, sobering
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: moment for all of them. So that scene ends, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: this is the moment when we have the whole like
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: royal procession, I guess, bringing the straw hats to the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: sunny where Frankie is waiting with the weirdest hair. It
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: looks sort of like the antlers on a beetle that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: are also pincers sometimes, and all of the folks who
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: are in this town are watching them and cheering for
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: them and just like really really excited to see them off.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: And then we get the narration and we switch over
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to the Marines on the surface, and I was a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: little bit confused. There's just some times, you guys, with
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the way that this show jumps from our friends to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: stuff going on with the higher ups in the government,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: whether it be the Marines or you know, warlord meetings
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever. That I just I'm used to it now,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: so I understand more the way that this works, but
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I just feel like there has to be a better
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: way to like segue into it. It just is very
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: jarring sometimes, and I also find myself a bit lost
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: because there will be pretty long breaks between the last
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: time that we were with people from this particular sect
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: of whatever organization, and so coming back to them after
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: such a long time, I am very much like, oh wait,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: what was happening with this? I forgot, you know. So anyway,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: what's happening here, it seems, is that after everything has happened,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and with the Hordy releasing well not releasing, but the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: pirates that he captured and forced to fight for him.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: The pirates who were captured evidently like their ships were
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: down there at Fishman Island, and so when they took off,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: they all just got onto their individual pirate ships and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: made for the surface as fast as they could. And
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: thus the Marines who are on the surface are taken
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: quite by surprise when a bunch of pirate ships just
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: surface right next to them, basically, and the pirates begin
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: to attack the marines and board them and everything. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the Marines are in the midst of this fight, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: more ships are surfacing around them. It's quite a lot
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: like by the time this scene sort of transitions, we've
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: got at least ten or twelve pirate ships, and the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: situation has grown more and more dire. So we then
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: go to a particular ship, and there is a dude
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: like polishing someone's glasses. He's wiping the lenses off, and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a guy comes up to him and says, are you
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: trying to suck up to her? I was so confused.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I was genuinely like I had to have missed something.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: What is happening here? And we pretty shortly find out
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: that we have our old girl back that looks like
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the girl Zoro trained with. Tashige is her name. I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: am going to really need to try and remember her name,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: because I feel like it's going to be one of
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: those that slides right off my mind. I need to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: come up with some sort of mnemonic device. But she
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: sees one of the cannonballs coming for the ship, she says,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I've got it. She leaps up and uses one of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: her swords to deflect it. And all of these men
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: are cheering for her and heart eyeing her and just
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: obviously enraptured with her, and she hasn't got any time
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: for any of them. It's I feel a departure from
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the attitude that we saw last time we were near her.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Is this fair to say? Because I felt as if
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: when we last saw her in Lowtown, I think we
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: may have seen her briefly since then, but it was
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a very brief. When she was on the street saying
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that she could fight, nobody was really like taking her seriously,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, she's ah saying that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: she's respected is really really inaccurate. I don't want to
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: say that, because that's just not how this is. But
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I saw her as being treated a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: bit more of a joke before, and at this point
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: she definitely at least has the trust of her crew,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: but as I said earlier, not the respect of the crew,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: which she keeps pointing out, and they keep saying like,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of course we respect you. You're way too beautiful not
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: to respect. You're way too adorable, things like this, making
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: it obvious that, like they can see that she's talented
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: at sword play, but it's only part of what makes
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: her a an overall like package in their eyes, of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a woman that they are interested in. I want to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: say sexually. I feel like it's more accurate if I
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: say romantically, even though I don't really mean it. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you know, y'all, with the way that things happen with
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: women in this show, it is just such whiplash any
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: woman who isn't fat and portrayed as somehow like a monster.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Because of that, the women who are thin are always
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just there for men to like gawkat. And I was
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: really not remembering this kind of tone with Tashi when
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: we had met her earlier, so it took me really
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: off guard, and I had a confusing moment of like, wait,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: this is this boa because they're all dying so much
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: when she walks past them that I was like, is
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: this a power or something? You know? But later on
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we like, just to sort of jump ahead, there's a
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: scene of Soanjy and Brooks spying on Nami in the shower,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and uh, I feel like every episode I need to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: give like a grade out of ten points for how
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: bad the misogyny was in that episode. But anyway, so
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: she is also like fighting without her glasses on, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: so she's yelling at a mast instead of a person
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: about how they should know how to deflect cannonballs. At
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: this point, it's like basic shit, I shouldn't have to
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: step in on everything. You should be able to take
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: care of this yourself. And she says the G five
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: is such a and to think you're all Navy soldiers.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: You'd better not take me lightly just because I'm a woman.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: You're just so adorable. How could I not respect you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: So Smoker is here and he is questioning some of
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: these pirates about what happened, and this leads to one
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of my favorite little moments. You guys. He's talking to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: these guys and it's just like, tell me what the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: fuck happened, And they're being real cagey about explaining which
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: pirates saved the day down there, and finally one of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: them just says, all right, all right, fine, it was
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the straw Hat pirates, and Smoker just says, I knew
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: that already. We get the the end title card, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: then you just hear his voice as he says idiot.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And I don't know why, but like his voice in
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the dead silence after that title card cracked me up
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: so bad. I was laughing so hard. So anyway, yeah,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: he is aware that they are probably going to be
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: surfacing around here somewhere and is going to be looking
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: for them. So all right, uh, the finally time to
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: go goodbye Fishman Island. This episode is a really really
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: long goodbye. Like I said, our friends have all been
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: brought to their ship. I thought we'd start this off
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and we would already be on the road. Not so.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So first we have to go to Charlie, who is
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: talking with Kamie, and they all want to, like all
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: of the the mermaids who work at the cafe want
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to go and say goodbye to the straw hats, and
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Charlie has to be like, you can't all go because
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: we need to keep the cafe open. Our tourism is
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: about to go through the roof now that Hordy isn't here,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: fucking our whole vibe up. So Charlie and Kamie have
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: a conversation because like, Kamie is leaving and she looks
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: over and she sees this crystal ball broken in half.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: The assumption here is that Charlie broke it in half.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't even I'll be honest, you guys. I remembered
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Charlie's vision as like something that sort of appeared in
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: her mind out of nowhere, like a vision. I didn't
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: recall that she used a crystal ball, but evidently she did.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And Charlie's whole attitude here is quite curious because she's
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: basically like, I I don't want to like see into
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: the future anymore. I'm done with that shit. And who knows,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Like the thing that I said about straw Hat, considering
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: how things wound up going down, it may not even
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: be true. So it's just kind of the end of
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the for telling road for me. I don't really want
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: to fuck with that anymore, which I can sympathize with.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: But Kamie's interpretation is essentially, if Charlie is saying this
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: out loud, it signifies probably that she is even more
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: frightened than everyone else, because she knows quite well that
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: her visions are never wrong. So if this is something
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: that she's acting like, well, maybe I'm not right about it.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: She must be in some deep denial. And it's interesting
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: because like I had just fully and this was like
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: before I had the want to be episode with Florian,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: but I had really fully thought that what we were
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: going to what we were going to find out was
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that in the midst of this fight with Hordy, Loofy
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: standing in the flames, was him like in the rubble
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: of wreck that the Hordy pirates had created, and that
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: her vision was going to be Loofy in the midst
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: of the thing. Yes, but it would be the context
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of it would be extremely different and it would make
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: it suddenly. Oh, I was mistaken on how I thought
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: this was going to go, and it seems that it's
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: just not happened yet. That it's like the fight with
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Hordy was a separate thing from what she saw. And
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I am genuinely surprised because I really did think that
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: we were wrapping up this arc and that her vision
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: would be disproven by the end of it, and that's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: not what we get at all. So yeah, Charlie is
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: just sort of, like I said, in denial here. So
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: then we go to the Princess who is holding Loofy
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and apologizing for crying because they're saying goodbye and she's
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: weeping all over him, and the King is talking with
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: the Minister about whether or not to inform Big Mom
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: about the potential dynamite in the in the box, and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the only people present when they're discussing this, and they're
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: not listening to what the King is saying. It's Oo's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: up and Chopper, the two like most weak stomached of
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the entire crew, and they're they're both panicking and due
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to this because they're not even panicking about the bomb.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: They're panicking about the fact that Lufy like yelled at
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Big Mom at all as far as they're concerned. Yeah,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: he gave her the treasure, but that wasn't enough. She's
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: still going to be mad at him, and we're going
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: to have to deal with the fallout from that. So
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the two of them are just like sobbing, crying, like
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: how are we going to handle this? And the King
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: points this out to his minister and is like, we
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: can't tell them about the bomb. Look at how freaked
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: out they are just by this thing with Ma. We've
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: just got to hope that either she doesn't open it
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: or it's been kept down here in this very damp
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: environment for so long that maybe the dynamite isn't even
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: any good anymore. And remembering this earlier, I had said,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: is it supposed to be that that explosive was placed
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: in the box recently because of a reaction to it
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: being stolen? But it sounds like it's been in the
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: box for like ten years, So I'm a little confused
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: how this works. Is it supposed to be more that
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Hordy stole the box and then just took the contents
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: out and put the box back, so they knew that
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: it was stolen, but they still had custody of it.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Or because why would you give a shit about the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: empty box? I would think that Hordy wouldn't leave anything
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: in the box to bother trying to save. And I
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: thought that there was only one tamate box and it
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: was what he used to make that steroid drug. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: feel kind of confused about the order in which things
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: went and what was what the thought process was in
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: putting the explosives in there in the first place, based
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: on whenever it happened. So if anybody wants to give
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: me a little bit more, Florian says, right after Hordy
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: stole it, they put the explosive in Okay, So Hordy
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: didn't take everything from the box, so there was something
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: still worth protecting. Because that's the part I keep getting
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: hung up on, like as if he stole it, one
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: would think that he would just take everything and then
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: there's no point in keeping the box. Who cares about
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the box? I thought it was the items inside, unless
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be that the box somehow magically independently
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: produces more of the drug, which doesn't sound like it
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: makes sense to me. And things don't tend to work
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: that way in this universe, so I don't feel like
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: that's it. So I guess that Hordy just didn't take everything,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: which doesn't sound like him. That's all I'll say. I
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: feel like if you told me that that he had not,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: you know, that he had left something behind, I would
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: be very surprised by that. That doesn't sound right to me,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: but I guess for the sake of this storyline, it
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: has to have been the way that it was set up.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: So anyway, this is when Nami gets given the new
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: log pose, and this is sort of a weird thing.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: There are three needles on it instead of the one needle,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: and the other minister has come to her and he
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: says something about how like he was really upset when
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: he saw that she had a log pose that only
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: had needle, and then goes on to explain basically that
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the way that navigation in the New World works is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: there are going to be places that are really dangerous,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: and you can tell how dangerous they are by looking
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: at the movements of the needle, and a really experienced
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: navigator that goes with their gut is going to be
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: able to tell which places they need to sidestep, and
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: if you only have the one needle on your log pose,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you've got no choice but to follow it no matter
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: where it's leading you, Whereas if you've got three needles
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: pointing in different directions, you can choose the one that
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: seems the least erratic in its movement and trust that
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be as dangerous as the other
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: two locations. Of course, this results in Loofy seeing the
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: log pose Overnami's shoulder, the wild wobbling of one particular needle,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: and then trying to insist that's where go immediately because
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: it sounds like the most fun, which there is a
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: big argument about. And I was sort of wanting somebody
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: to like, I wanted Jimbang honestly here for this to
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: be like, are you serious Loofy again? You know? But
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: unfortunately it's just sort of Loofy getting beat down and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: told to shut the fuck up. He's out here just
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: fully saying I'm gonna take your job away from you, Nammy.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why do you want her here? Lufy. If
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: you're just gonna do whatever you feel like anyway, then
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you don't need a navigator, So take the fucking log
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: post yourself and let nommy go and shop or something.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: So let's see, I'm going forward here. There's the last
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: speech to with our conversation with the two princes who
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: ensure that they're gonna like train up their army and YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: And then Lufy is looking around and he's like, and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: now where's and then Jimbay shows up, looking just as
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: dour as ever. Jim Bay is always got this like
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: intensity and complete lack of humor to him. There have
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: been a couple moments where I feel like we've seen
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: a glimmer of it, but it's mostly felt like he's
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: very angry all the time. I guess we'll see what
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: kind of vibe he brings, but I don't I'm not
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: particularly excited about it. But yeah, Jimbay nods to him
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: in like one of those I'm with you sort of expressions,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and Lufy is delighted. He leaps onto the deck of
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: the ship and is like, all right, it's time to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: set sail. Let's go in for the to the New World.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: So they head off and it's so disoriented because like
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: it looks like they're just on a regular ocean for
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and then eventually, you know, they leave
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the bubble and they're out in like the underwater area
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: with their ship coated again. But for a while I
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: forgot that that was how that was going to go
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and was fully thinking that we were just on a
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: regular sea. So this is when the princess pursues them
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and insists that they promise that they will come back someday,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and they do with a big pinky swear. Pinky promises
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: are so funny to me, Like, I fully endorse them.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I definitely did them a ton as a kid, but
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: I really want to know where they came from. There's
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: got to be somebody who knows and has done the
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: research on this. And Robin says, all right, we've all
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: given our word now, But like Zorro isn't there and
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Frankie isn't there, so I don't know if that's going
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: to end up mattering at all. But the two of
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: them have not gone in on this. We like the
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: camera pans past Zoro and Frankie, who were smiling at her,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: but they're not part of the group that's like standing
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and putting their pinkies in. So maybe it's supposed to
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: suggest that we couldn't fit everybody in the frame, but
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: they were both there, trust us because now we're gonna
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: cut to them. I couldn't tell. But anyway, so they
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: take off and we get once again another montage of
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: all of the character's faces, and then a sort of
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: interaction on the street with a kid and one of
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the fishmen, who the kid is saying something about wanting
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: to like go with a straw hats or be a
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: straw hat, you know, and the fishman, who is an adult,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: says something about how you can't go up to the
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: service who knows what they'll do to you, and then
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: sort of catches himself and is like, well, they're not
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: all the same. Some of them are heroes, like straw
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Hat Loofy, And it was such a weird like it
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: just it keeps feeling like a reverse racism, you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: like we're gonna argue about how these people who have
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: been enslaved shouldn't be so mean to humans. I really
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: am going to need us to like leave this behind
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: because I am uninterested. And the more we do this,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the more poorly it hits, you know. But anyway, this
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: kid asks for straw hats. Jim Bay says that he's
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: gonna get him some from the surface, and then we
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: cut to Loofy, who is He's got that excited glint
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: in his eye. He's thinking about all of the people
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: who have cheered him on in his life, getting the
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: hat from Shanks and the mission from his brother, and
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the fact that the direction they're headed Shanks is probably
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: so he's going to get to see him again and
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: he's excited about that. And yeah, so that's the ending
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: of that episode, and then the third episode where they
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: are actually in the ocean. Honestly, surprisingly little happens. We've
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: got our friends in this ship coated. It's so funny,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you guys, because I have recently been doing a ton
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: of resin work, which if you're looking at me on
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the camera, you can see, like, my whole shit is
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: just a mess behind me right now because I have
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: so much equipment out and like just in a complete jumble.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: But I keep seeing the coating on the ship and
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: immediately my brain is going to like, oh, it got
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: dipped in resin. My next thought being like how did
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: they do that? Because like resin techniques, there's all kinds
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of different ways you could do stuff and I just
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: kept laughing at myself as I caught myself being like,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: that is wait, that's not what this says at all.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: So this is when we get the nami in the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: shower moment. And then we go to Loofy, who is
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: going to try for some real giant fishing. And they
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: have these two huge hooks that are about the size
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: of Oosop's head, and they have them roped together and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: they're gonna throw them out there to catch a fish.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Loofy sees this one fish that he decides to go for.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: It looks like kind of like a monkfish, which if
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: you ever look those up there are the ugliest fish.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: And they hook it. I felt so bad because it's
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: not really hooked so much as Loofy punches the daylights
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: out of it. And then they throw the hook at
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: what seems to be an already dead fish, which I
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: just don't like seeing Loofy bee animals. I don't care
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: if it even is just a fish, I don't like it.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: But no, sooner have they started to tow this fish
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: behind them, when a way bigger, way scarier looking fish
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: that's like black with all of these gills or spiny
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: sort of fins that almost look like bat wings up
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and chomps around it, and then an even baker fish
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: comes up behind that one, and it's easily one hundred
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: times the size of their ship. I would say probably
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: more like a thousand times the size. It's just huge.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: So the uh, you know, they're towing it along. But
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: the whole situation, oh my god, I forgot about the
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: zoom in on Nami's tits as she zips up her
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: like whatever it is that she's wearing. I don't know
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: if it's supposed to be a dress or like a
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: robe that you put on after showering. She is still wet,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if that has anything to do
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: with it. But this is when they get gripped up
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: by this white strom. Is that the word that they
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: keep using, And it's basically sort of a like a
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: wormhole in the water that catches It's what it reminded
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: me of, was like the jet stream U. But they
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: are being ordered to get away from it by Nami,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: who has been busy and not seeing what they're up to.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: So she comes out and they are way too close
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: to it already. She says, you know, we're not going
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to be able if you are still going to hold
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: onto that fish, it's going to catch us. And like
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: in the stream, cut the fish loose and then we'll
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: be able to make it upward because the fish is
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: dragging them, you know. And Lufy doesn't want to let
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: the fish go as usual, he has very particular priorities.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so she's like yelling, let it go, and
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: every it's loofy zoro soany and oosup that all yell up?
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: But what about our dinner? And I was truly surprised
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: that we had both Anezoro in on this because of
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: course Lufy I see oos up. He's so afraid that
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense for me, for his character, I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: feel like Frankie would make more sense. But anyway, her
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: response is, if you get us all killed, we'll never
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: eat dinner again. I was gone for ten fucking minutes.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: What is the matter with you? How did that? Like?
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: I'm my god, you know. And when she asks Lufy
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: or Frankie to do the coup to burst, Frankie says
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that it is too late for that, and we see
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: them getting drawn into this stream, and I was sort
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: of seeing it as like probably it was going to
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: result in something more of a shortcut, because allegedly everybody
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: who gets pulled into this dies because we've never heard
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: of a survivor, which of course is something that Robin
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: says to them in the most deadpan, unconcerned manner, And
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: everybody is having to cling to the deck of the
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: ship so that they don't get thrown off of it,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and it's very much like they're on a sort of
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: roller coaster. So eventually they get out of it. And
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I was sort of wondering maybe if you maybe you
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: don't hear about survivors, just because none of you have
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: been to the New World, you know, like I don't know.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: But Unami says, we hit something and bounced out, And
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: this is when we see all of the whales passing by,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: and they have the scars on their nose that the
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Boon had, so understandably, that's who they think. These whales are,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: like the first one they see, they think is Laboon,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: and they're all like the first thing I think, Oosup says,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: because obviously Brooke is getting really emotional at the thought
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: that this is Laboon, and I fully thought it was too.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I was thinking Laboon had decided to stop waiting for them,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and I really had no issue with that. But it
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: turns out that a lot of these whales have scars
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: on their faces like Laboon did, and so they're not Laboon.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: But why is it that they're all sporting these injuries,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: you know? But anyway, what they end up doing is
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: using one of the whales to like pull them up
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: towards the surface, because that is where the whales are
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: also headed. And Brooke, for his part, is like, you
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: know what, maybe some of these whales are like Laboon's relatives.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I think he came from this part of the sea.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to like sing a song for them
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: and make this journey a little bit more pleasant, and
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: you know, in honor of my friend, and he does
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the Binks's Brew. This is honestly just like a really
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: fun song that they managed to utilize in this show
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: so well that it really is kind of nostalgic for
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: me already, even though it hasn't been that long since
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I first heard it, you know. And the whales do
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: seem to actually be enjoying it. They are kind of
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: little smiles on some of their faces, and their eyes
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: are looking over at them like they're appreciating it. And
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I want to mention too that like the crazy eel
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: thing that they had caught is still attached to the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: ship also, So I don't know what is going to
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: happen with this, but it is so creepy looking and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: it has one of those like underbite jaws that fish
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: have with the real curved needle like teeth. It's extremely creepy.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: But they are heading to the surface, and as we
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: do this, everybody has their flashbacks on what they were
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: doing for the two years that they were away and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: what they wound up learning and the people that they met, YadA, YadA.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: And then they breach the surface, they go like flying
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: into the air, and the sky is dark and there
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: is lightning lashing the sky. It is feeling extremely dangerous,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: and they go sailing up into the air and then
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: they like head straight down and they bounce off of
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: all of these whales like from one to the other,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and the like vibe is supposed to be that they
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: saved them from just crashing into the ocean. That hitting
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: the whale was like they were each a trampoline, where
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I think probably hitting a whale from that height is
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: going to be as dangerous as hitting the water, but
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: us up delivers a message to all of these whales,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: like when we see Laboon again, we will be sure
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: to let him know where the rest of you are.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: The assumption that they're making is like this is Laboon's family.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: So the whales like seem genuinely pleased with this. They're
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: not speaking, but they are. It feels like they understand,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: and they are racing along on the water and the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: lightning is just really intimidating, and Frankie seems like genuinely
• 1:01:56
