  This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me, covering one piece
• 0:13
  episodes four fifty two, four fifty three, and four fifty four to the
• 0:18
  Navy Headquarters, off to rescue Ace, and then the Friends Whereabouts, the
• 0:25
  Watheria weatherea report, and the cyborg animals and the Friends Whereabouts, the Chick
• 0:31
  of a Giant Bird and a pink showdown. In these episodes, Buggy has
• 0:40
  more of a reputation than he expected, and he doesn't embrace that as quickly
• 0:44
  as I thought he would. And then we get to see what's going on
• 0:48
  with everybody who has been scattered to the winds. Welcome to spoil Me,
• 1:11
  Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much to
• 1:15
  Florian for commissioning this episode. I appreciate all of you, especially Florian for
• 1:22
  bearing with me when I was supposed to have watched one of these episodes for
• 1:25
  the last one, when I did the wanna be with Florian, and I
• 1:30
  just like misread or just fucked up. I don't know what I did,
• 1:34
  but I didn't watch it, and it actually turns out to be like a
• 1:38
  kind of a if I'm going to mess up this week worked out well because
• 1:42
  I think a lot of what I would have focused on would have been pretty
• 1:49
  quick to talk about. So it's going to be easy, I think,
• 1:53
  to fit this one in. So four fifty two to the Navy headquarters.
• 2:00
  This is unexpectedly a plot line where Buggy thinks that he has been overestimated,
• 2:10
  but is not upset about it. He starts off protesting, though, and
• 2:17
  that's the part that I found really surprising. I'm gonna get to exactly how
• 2:22
  this falls out, but that was the first thing I really wanted to mention,
• 2:25
  because all Buggy does is attempt to bolster his own street cred, and
• 2:36
  he really likes being seen as this like badass, and I think it's supposed
• 2:42
  to be that he realizes that the Navy is going to be after him in
• 2:46
  a particular way, the Marines due to their mistaken belief of him being like
• 2:53
  a real ringleader in this. I want to say, though, the fact
• 3:02
  that people are saying, I don't know why they're zeroing in on him and
• 3:06
  not the warlords. I do. He's the one that's been like he was
• 3:12
  one of the first escapees. Yeah, to me, this is not a
• 3:17
  mistake. The fact that they focus so much on Buggy. The only thing
• 3:22
  that's puzzling is why they don't also focus on Mister Three the same way,
• 3:27
  because he was amongst the first crew, like the original group that escaped,
• 3:32
  who then led to all of the others escaping. But I really feel like
• 3:38
  mister Three is as much like one of the main players as Buggy is,
• 3:46
  and I think the only reason that he isn't treated the same way is because
• 3:51
  of Buggy's history with Goldie Roger. So anyway, I'm gonna back up to
• 3:59
  the beginning of the episode, because this we are coming right off the tail
• 4:04
  end of Mister Too sacrificing himself bon Clay to ensure that all of our friends
• 4:12
  were able to get out of here and open the doors to I've really you,
• 4:20
  guys, I don't know what I want to happen with that. I
• 4:26
  just have to sort of revisit it briefly. I do not believe for a
• 4:31
  moment that he is going to be executed, although he does look to be
• 4:35
  in dire peril. But I don't know how we meet up with him again
• 4:40
  without turning around and going back to Impel Down, And I don't want to
• 4:46
  do that. I want to rescue Bonclay. I don't want to go back
• 4:51
  to this location again, though, do you know what I mean? This
• 4:55
  location is done, it's over, it's a wrap. If we are going
• 5:00
  to rescue him, to be given a new place to do it in the
• 5:08
  only way that I can see that happening is if the Marines decide that this
• 5:13
  mass breakout renders impel Down basically null and void as a prison, which would
• 5:19
  make sense. I mean, there's essentially nobody left in the place, so
• 5:25
  maybe if they decided that they were just going to hold him somewhere, it
• 5:30
  would turn out to be a completely different location, and that's where we could
• 5:33
  rescue him from. I genuinely do not know. Like what I was going
• 5:42
  to say is, I don't know why they'd keep him alive, because one
• 5:45
  would think they would assuredly kill him. But that's like the conceit of this
• 5:49
  world is that people don't die, So you know, it's fine, they
• 5:55
  just wouldn't kill him because that's not what they do in this universe. So
• 6:01
  that is still fresh in everybody's mind. And when we start this episode,
• 6:08
  we are inside the prison again and we have all of these different like I
• 6:18
  don't remember I wish somebody was in the chat you guys, because I'm so
• 6:21
  sorry I lose track of which ones are the warlords and which ones have a
• 6:31
  different title that I'm already forgetting. Sure use the one who's speaking here,
• 6:35
  and he is in the level four heat hell, and he's saying like basically
• 6:50
  the fact that you guys are here, but you're underestimating everything, like the
• 6:56
  way that this has all gone down. And he's talking to to the one
• 7:00
  on the horseback who looks old, and then the mind dude Burgess, which
• 7:06
  is the name of the one that looks like a strong man. I like
• 7:15
  the conversation that is happening here. I am confused about what it is that
• 7:23
  they're all agreeing to, and I'm feeling like maybe it's partially the delay between
• 7:30
  watching episodes that doesn't usually happen, and that's why I'm forgetting some of like
• 7:34
  how these things link together, because I just watched these episodes like an hour
• 7:39
  ago, so it's not like I've forgotten since the last time, but it's
• 7:43
  been about three weeks since the recording of the episode with Florian I think and
• 7:51
  sure you is the name of the guy who was released from the jail who
• 7:57
  had been the until it turned out that he was just going too far for
• 8:03
  everybody. And he says that he doesn't see a future for himself and that
• 8:07
  this Blackbeard is like the exact type of person he was hoping to meet.
• 8:13
  So he's gonna, like apparently throw in with Blackbeard, But I do not
• 8:18
  see it, because Blackbeard doesn't appear to be a cruel person, and he's
• 8:28
  you know, self interested. He wants what he wants, but that's different
• 8:33
  than being like a sadist, which is what sure you is. And I
• 8:35
  don't know if Blackbeard is aware of that, Like what kind of dude it
• 8:41
  is that this is that he's talking to right now, you know? But
• 8:46
  regardless, we cut away from there and we go to the ship that everybody
• 8:50
  has escaped on that contains Buggy and Crocodile and Loofy and who's the other one,
• 8:56
  oh, mister zero or miss one. I remember that his name is
• 9:05
  something silly and I already forgot it. But Buggy is celebrating and the thing
• 9:13
  that we like, there's a conflict that pops up between him and Lufy because
• 9:20
  what he wants to do is just party and drink and Lufy is still very
• 9:24
  caught up in his feelings about Bonclay and feels like this guy should be honored
• 9:28
  for the sacrifice that he made and what he did for his friends. And
• 9:33
  essentially, I mean, what it comes down to is that Buggy is a
• 9:41
  selfish person who does not care what anybody sacrifices for him. Unless it is
• 9:46
  a person that meant a lot to him, which nobody really does, then
• 9:50
  he isn't going to care. So he tries to be like, oh,
• 9:54
  well, we can you know, don't live in grief, he would.
• 10:00
  I wanted us to be happy and to party. Let's make this a combo
• 10:03
  funeral, which Lufy rightfully is like, dude, you don't even know if
• 10:09
  he's really dead, so I don't appreciate you being like, yeah, let's
• 10:13
  just treat it like for sure, this guy has been executed already. But
• 10:18
  also, whenever anybody's like you can't just live your life in grief when a
• 10:24
  person has literally just died, that's the wrong time to say this shit,
• 10:28
  Get the fuck out of my face with it. Meanwhile, i'va is talking
• 10:33
  about in Azuma, who is the person with the orange and white hair,
• 10:39
  and basically he's saying that in Azuma is really really injured and that they're going
• 10:46
  to require a lot of recovery time and any kind of like speeding up of
• 10:54
  it will really fuck them up. So just good old fashioned bed rest and
• 11:01
  natural rehabilitation is what's best for him. Meanwhile, Iva has taken years off
• 11:11
  of his own life by using the hormones that he did to get himself healed
• 11:16
  from the poison. And Iva is like, I'm just really glad that Magellan
• 11:20
  only used one type of poison on me, because if it had been more
• 11:24
  than that, I don't know that I could have recovered at all. Yeah,
• 11:30
  So Inazuma is out for the count a bit of a shame because I
• 11:33
  feel like I only just barely got to see what it was he was capable
• 11:37
  of before he was erased from the board, you know. So then we
• 11:45
  have an interesting conversation that I wasn't sure what to make of. Crocodile is
• 11:52
  talking to what is his name, the fishman, and he is saying like,
• 11:58
  how surprised he is that this dude was able to muster all of these
• 12:03
  sharks to help them out, And he's like, I didn't really think that
• 12:11
  fishmen were able to like talk to fish that way, and this dude is
• 12:18
  like, are they not? I just thought that was how it was,
• 12:24
  And Crocodile initially what he said was like, I hadn't thought you could do
• 12:28
  that, but apparently I was wrong. And then when the fishman says I
• 12:37
  thought we could all do that, Crocodile just says, what do you know
• 12:43
  a misfit amongst the savages? Which, first of all, don't appreciate you
• 12:48
  calling the fishmen savages, Crocodile, after the shit you have done to people,
• 12:52
  you have no right. Secondly, how do you know he's a misfit?
• 12:56
  I mean, just because you didn't know about it. Now all of
• 13:00
  a sudden, you're assigning like a label to him amongst his own people.
• 13:05
  I'm just gonna need you to entirely back off. Okay, Crocodile, you
• 13:09
  don't know what you're talking about. You're being kind of offensive. Just keep
• 13:13
  your thoughts to yourself and observe without comment. Can you just do that?
• 13:16
  That would be great? But yeah, I just you know, he says
• 13:20
  something about like, well, we do have a violent nature, and I'm
• 13:24
  like, no more violent than fucking everybody else in this universe. So Jimbay.
• 13:33
  That's his name. God, I gets so frustrating trying to remember these
• 13:37
  names you guys. So he says, I owe you a great debt,
• 13:45
  Loofy, because you've given me a chance to rescue Ace, and Louviy's like,
• 13:50
  well, I'm just glad to have you on the team because you're really
• 13:56
  fucking badass dude, So you don't owe me anything. And he says,
• 14:03
  I apologize for my involvement in the unfortunate situation and is referring to our long
• 14:11
  we see him pop up for a second. I don't remember j Maye being
• 14:16
  part of that, and I don't know if you mentioned that last time we
• 14:20
  recorded Florian and I just forgot but genuinely don't remember, so if anybody wants
• 14:26
  to refresh me or maybe he was just sort of off to the side during
• 14:30
  things but not a big player, but yeah, and he says I may
• 14:37
  be one of the seven Warlords, but they'll strip me of my title after
• 14:41
  this, And Loofy and Buggy are in the middle of like fighting and arguing
• 14:48
  with each other when they both stop and they're like, wait, a warlord,
• 14:54
  what are you talking about? And why did you say we're ahead to
• 15:00
  Navy headquarters. Now what it turns out is happening here with white Beard and
• 15:07
  this whole war that's going on. Evidently none of these prisoners were aware of
• 15:13
  All of the ones who were following Iva knew, but the prisoners who were
• 15:18
  with Buggy, basically everybody who's dressed like they are in Rocky Horror knew what
• 15:24
  the deal was, and everybody who is in black and white stripes didn't.
• 15:30
  That's kind of where we're at, and Buggy understandably, it's just like we
• 15:35
  escaped, impelled down, and now you just want to basically put us in
• 15:39
  the next best place that they control. That is not the deal. We're
• 15:43
  not just gonna walk back into jail. What the hell? I love these
• 15:48
  other guys saying it's not our fault. You're so dense. We passed through
• 15:52
  the gates of justice, like you had to know the way that this current
• 15:58
  works. And we hear about the tub Current restricted to government passage only.
• 16:07
  I don't recall this. Did we know about the tub Current? It may
• 16:11
  have simply not been called by this name, but you know was animated.
• 16:15
  But evidently the way that they left means that there's only one place that they
• 16:21
  can head and I find that really funny. I don't know why this got
• 16:27
  me cackling so bad, you guys, but the whole idea of just like,
• 16:30
  well, once you go out these certain gates, this certain way,
• 16:33
  there's absolutely no option but to head straight for Navy headquarters. It's a combination
• 16:41
  of how ludicrous that idea is and that there's just like a current that only
• 16:47
  the Marines use, and also the fact that something as basic as that is
• 16:55
  apparently not common knowledge. So yeah, Buggy, I didn't know, and
• 17:02
  it feels like a pretty I don't know, maybe maybe it's protected information,
• 17:07
  but crocodile those So I'm just gonna go with the fact that he's right,
• 17:11
  calling Buggy dumb. It's one giant whirlpool that connects the government's three major facilities.
• 17:18
  The reason we busted out now is because we have a role to play
• 17:22
  in this war, so you better get used to it. And Buggy and
• 17:26
  mister three are just like, I cannot believe this, Like we thought we
• 17:32
  were done. Lufy says something about how the real fight is about to start,
• 17:36
  and everyone is like, real fight? What do you call what happened
• 17:41
  back there? And I love this they tell him to turn the ship around.
• 17:48
  Jimbay's like, literally, can't do that. The current do what to
• 17:52
  do? Like that's it, And then Lufy says, well, if you
• 17:56
  want to get off, then just jump off the boat. And they're like,
• 18:00
  hey, bro, reminder that we ate devil fruits, so will fucking
• 18:03
  drown. No, we can't do that, And everybody else on board is
• 18:11
  just remembering all of the like batties that they could potentially go up against,
• 18:15
  all of the other warlords, and U it's quite a what's the word I
• 18:23
  want roster? I guess it's probably it. And again, I'd rather be
• 18:30
  in prison than in this war. I understand fully that the role of these
• 18:37
  prisoners is to be the whiny ones right every step of the way in impel
• 18:45
  down. They have been excited to break out, but then they reach the
• 18:49
  like even slightest obstacle and immediately be in to panic and just be like,
• 18:56
  I hate this, I don't want to be here anymore. And I honestly
• 19:00
  find them very tiresome, I really do, Like, guys, get a
• 19:06
  hold of yourselves. For the love of God, y'all are so whiny and
• 19:12
  so just tiresome. That's just that's the only word I can come up with
• 19:18
  for this. I don't want to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it,
• 19:22
  Okay, so just fucking keep it to yourselves. The moment that they
• 19:30
  hear, well, we're going back to Navy headquarters, I'm like, all
• 19:37
  y'all were saying before was how you'd rather be, like, be dead than
• 19:41
  tortured the way that you were being tortured. So you know, which is
• 19:45
  it just asking what do you want? Do you want to be tortured forever?
• 19:51
  Is that preferable? Really stop and thinking about that what you're saying,
• 19:53
  because it feels to me untrue. But what do I know? And I
• 20:02
  love that. There's like one girl who's like all of us from New Comma
• 20:06
  knew about this already, and they're like, well, why didn't you tell
• 20:08
  us? I'm like, cause they were fucking busy. Okay, they were
• 20:11
  all busy. One of them literally yells mommy. This is when they begin
• 20:17
  hearing the ringing of a transponder snail, which you guys, takes way too
• 20:22
  long for them to notice and then to answer. It takes so long.
• 20:29
  Loofy answers it, and he tells them that it's him, which I really
• 20:34
  did enjoy because the whole crew is like, you shouldn't tell them that it's
• 20:41
  you, and I really was sort of like, guys, that ship has
• 20:45
  sailed literally and figuratively. Do you think that they don't know he has the
• 20:52
  ship? Do you think that's like you could just not say? What are
• 20:59
  you? Ooh, what do you think they think happened? Of course they're
• 21:03
  aware. Come on and yeah, this guy is saying, we received a
• 21:12
  report from impaled down, so let's be honest here. Before contact was lost,
• 21:17
  we had insider information being fed to us. Based on this, we've
• 21:21
  determined who the two ring leaders behind the breakout are. You the pirate known
• 21:26
  as straw Hat Loofy and another notorious pirate, Buggy the Clown. And again
• 21:33
  Buggy protests against this, but I really think that they're right. I don't
• 21:41
  know, I just do so. Finally, this guy says, pass me
• 21:48
  the documents. At first, we just assumed the clown was another two bit
• 21:52
  criminal, but to be frank, we were wrong. We learned he was
• 21:56
  a crew member on the ship of Gold. Roger, King of the Pirates,
• 22:03
  and everybody on Lufy's end of things begins to freak out and is blown
• 22:11
  away that that's who Buggy kept company with. You're a star among pirates,
• 22:18
  and then the marine says, and there's one more thing. He's an ally
• 22:22
  of one of the four emperors. His name is Red Haired Shanks. So
• 22:26
  if you can hear us, Buggy, we don't know how someone with your
• 22:30
  background has laid low for so long, but you've most certainly stepped into the
• 22:33
  spotlight now. And again, Buggy protests this like notoriety because they're saying that
• 22:47
  he has a connection with firefist Ace. But we're sure you share the same
• 22:52
  goal with straw Hat Loofy to rescue him from ex execution, and Buggy's saying,
• 23:00
  not really, but it's too late now. Like you are involved in
• 23:08
  this, sir. Your fingerprints are all over it metaphorically speaking. So I
• 23:14
  know that you sort of hoped that you'd be able to just ditch these dudes.
• 23:18
  And I'm not like blaming you even for wanting to do that, because
• 23:22
  you didn't ask to be part of a war. You just wanted to escape
• 23:25
  from jail. And I don't hold it against you that you weren't looking for
• 23:30
  a big, bad conflict to get involved in. But you know what,
• 23:33
  there's a price to be paid for everything. And I just let me explain
• 23:41
  your future. Your fates depend on whether we open the gate of justice.
• 23:47
  As long as we leave it closed, you can't get to Marine Ford or
• 23:49
  get out of the tub current. You will be completely stranded. There is
• 23:55
  no ce for you to escape to better get used to your surroundings, That's
• 24:00
  all. And I love Loofy just says, wait, Navy, I'm gonna
• 24:07
  rescue Ace no matter what. Better keep your potatoes peeled. I loved this
• 24:15
  because one of the Navy guys on the other end, who's listening to this
• 24:18
  exchange with like his captain or whoever it is, just looks such at the
• 24:22
  captain and says, are what And eventually somebody says, dude, you mean
• 24:30
  keep your eyes peeled. And I can't tell you all how much I appreciated
• 24:37
  that clarification because I didn't know what the fuck it was he was trying to
• 24:41
  say, truly, no idea. I was like, potatoes peeled, hold
• 24:49
  up, I was lost, So uh yeah, I just really found that
• 24:56
  funny, and the fact that everybody around him is just like, dude,
• 24:59
  what do you even mean? I also have this question. So yeah,
• 25:04
  they hang up at this point and Luviy is just standing there fucking pissy as
• 25:10
  usual, hyper focus the way that he is, and uh, I love
• 25:15
  one of the women saying, you guys are so obsessed that he said potatoes
• 25:19
  peeled. He just picked a fight with the Marines. Can we focus on
• 25:23
  the big, more important thing? So now comes the point where Buggy is
• 25:29
  just like, guys, no, I'm not as important as you think.
• 25:33
  And I love the way that everybody responds to this. Jimbay is just like,
• 25:41
  well, this is a surprise. Mister one is like, why is
• 25:45
  he so weak? Then Crocodile just goes hum, and mister three says that
• 25:52
  pedigree and he's so petty. Iva says every ship has one little blemish,
• 26:00
  I mean, And I love all of Iva's people just nodding because it seems
• 26:07
  like that's all of them being like, I mean, I don't really care
• 26:12
  what his deal is. That's supposed to be so impressive. I'm not impressed.
• 26:18
  And I really like the fact that they are all so unimpressed, like
• 26:25
  the everybody can smell a rat, right, everybody feels like this doesn't exactly
• 26:34
  vibe with what I have been seeing from this dude. But there's no point
• 26:42
  in trying to overthink it. We may as well just sit back and let
• 26:47
  it do what it do and see if anything shows up that makes it clear
• 26:52
  why he has the reputation that he does. We know, yeah, he
• 26:56
  was on that ship, but it doesn't seem like that means to it,
• 27:03
  like in reality means what they think it means in the Marines to have been
• 27:10
  on Goldie Roger's crew. Goldie Roger seems like he was just sort of like
• 27:15
  Loofy and that he welcomed whoever, and he inspired loyalty in people for sure,
• 27:22
  to a degree. But Buggy is a real outlier in that he never
• 27:26
  feels loyalty to anybody but himself. He is such a self serving type that
• 27:36
  I think they are imagining him having been more of a devotee and like having
• 27:45
  gotten more power up somehow from Roger than he actually did. So I don't
• 27:51
  know, I really like obviously, we know enough about Muggy a Buggy sorry
• 27:56
  Muggy to He does do the munkey, though we haven't seen those in a
• 28:00
  while. We do know enough about him and the way he functions that I
• 28:10
  don't personally expect anything surprising from him. I think what we have seen is
• 28:15
  what we were getting. But I wouldn't mind it if he started to like
• 28:25
  kind of fall backward into this role that he is pretending to already occupy and
• 28:30
  just began to really like go off and do things in either a daring way
• 28:36
  or accidentally make things look more impressive than they are, because that is the
• 28:42
  thing that I always find really fun, like the trope of somebody who gets
• 28:48
  credit for stuff that they didn't do on purpose, with the big exception of
• 28:56
  Inspector Gadget in which he got all of the credit for things that Penny actually
• 29:02
  made happen, because I was very irritated by that. So yeah, anyway,
• 29:07
  I just really am curious about how this is going to go. And
• 29:11
  like I said, I was surprised at how much he resisted the reputation that
• 29:19
  he was being offered at first, because it does seem like his ego is
• 29:23
  the exact type that would be really gratified to be seen in this light.
• 29:30
  And even if it's like, well, the Navy is giving me more credit
• 29:36
  than I deserve and they are putting their crosshairs on me, I can't even
• 29:44
  understand shying away from it in that context because you just escaped impelled down.
• 29:52
  It's the first mass escape from that place that has ever happened. I got
• 29:57
  news for you, bro, Their eyes are on you already. It's too
• 30:02
  late, Like you're not getting out of this. What do you mean?
• 30:07
  You know? So I just feel like that's pretty much a foregone conclusion and
• 30:14
  that it's silly to even try and like hide from their sight at this point
• 30:19
  because you're a wanted fugitive who has done something historically that has never happened before.
• 30:30
  So anyway, I let's move on to the end of this episode because
• 30:37
  I'm getting hung up on this, you know, these moments here, But
• 30:44
  suffice to say, Buddy eventually begins leaning into this and being like, well,
• 30:48
  you know what, maybe if they believe in me, I'll be able
• 30:55
  to pull off like ruling the world eventually, and we can handle Whitebeard even
• 31:03
  and just completely like take over. And he's standing up there with like the
• 31:10
  sun glowing behind him, and everybody starts kneeling and praising him as if he's
• 31:17
  a god, and it's so wild. They're crying and talking about how he
• 31:22
  has allowed them to dream again and that they don't even want to peaceful life.
• 31:27
  All they want is to believe in dreams and pursue them and take risks.
• 31:33
  And I was just like, I suppose, Okay, I'm not really
• 31:42
  entirely. I do not understand worshiping a person most of the time. But
• 31:52
  when I fail to really comprehend why people are acting a certain way, I
• 31:57
  sort of stop and think about Beyonce, and like, I know that she's
• 32:02
  just an actual person, and I don't actually worship her in a sense of
• 32:07
  like I worship a person, but she embodies in a concept the kind of
• 32:15
  creator who is so like curated and so in control of their image that the
• 32:23
  level of respect that I have for her is bonkers and off the chart,
• 32:30
  like in comparison to any person that I have met, because I don't know
• 32:35
  her. That's part of why this works is because she's a distant figure who
• 32:39
  can simply skirt around the sorts of flaws that you see and on earth once
• 32:46
  you get to know somebody better. So I'm just going to try and keep
• 32:50
  in mind that maybe these guys are reacting this way, and that I would
• 32:59
  react this way if it were Beyonce, or at the very least like try
• 33:04
  and put it in that context. You know, that's that'll work, all
• 33:09
  right. So that's pretty much the end of that episode, and now we
• 33:12
  start like checking in with everybody else. And I was a little bit surprised
• 33:22
  in some of these cases how little forward progress we really make. Oh,
• 33:30
  I forgot that we're still with Lufy at the beginning of the next episode,
• 33:32
  but only briefly. It's not really you know, we were only checking in
• 33:38
  with him for the first like two or three minutes before we cut over.
• 33:44
  But I think what happens with Nami and arguably with uh, oh my god,
• 33:59
  guys, I keep I wanted to say Elvis because that's what I am
• 34:02
  thinking of. Oh my god, what is his name? I'm dying.
• 34:08
  But I think they have the most forward movement Sanjy. Notwithstanding Chopper, though
• 34:15
  I don't know whats happening with Chopper, he has got no forward movement.
• 34:20
  It doesn't feel like I thought it was gonna be a thing, and the
• 34:22
  show clearly knew what I expected and just decided to make a joke out of
• 34:28
  it, which I really do respect and like. But uh, the result
• 34:34
  of that means that there's not really any progress made on that, but we'll
• 34:38
  get there in a second. So for right now, we are with Nami
• 34:45
  and she's on this like weird weather island and it turns out that he is
• 34:50
  actually connected to the ground, but she doesn't know that yet. It's not
• 34:57
  until a little bit later, and it's clear that she isn't really sure what
• 35:02
  she should like be focusing on or doing. She's trying to. She's still
• 35:10
  got a huge attitude with this guy who is only a sweet little bumbling wizard
• 35:21
  basically, And I really want Ami to stop taking out her anger on everybody
• 35:28
  else. She is so unable to control her emotions. I hate being like
• 35:36
  this bitch is too hysterical, but she kind of is a little bit sometimes.
• 35:42
  And he who comes over and he's got a cloud that is made to
• 35:49
  taste like cotton candy on a string that he's like bringing over as if it
• 35:53
  were a balloon, and it sort of gets stuck on her face and a
• 35:59
  pair of currently was suffocating her, although the fact that it's a cloud,
• 36:04
  I would think would mean there's plenty of oxygen in there for her to inhale.
• 36:07
  But she finally stops and is like, oh, it does taste like
• 36:12
  cat and candy, that's crazy. She beats this guy in the face before
• 36:16
  being like, oh, it's good and then taking it, and he just
• 36:20
  like gives this huge sigh of relief, and I'm just like this poor little
• 36:23
  abused wizard. Oh my god. So he says, you know, I
• 36:30
  can grant you a favor. You want to go to Sabayote, we can
• 36:36
  and she says, well, when do we get there? And he says,
• 36:42
  what do you mean, Like with area just travels on winds, so
• 36:47
  if a typhoon hits, we might get there pretty fast, but otherwise,
• 36:52
  and she says, well, then, how far did we travel yesterday?
• 36:58
  And he says about six hundred feet or so. She beats him again.
• 37:06
  Honestly, this time I can kind of see it. It's not the best
• 37:09
  way to handle it. But also and his whole vibe is, I mean,
• 37:17
  you could just stay here and get there like eventually, and then offers
• 37:24
  to bring her down. I could stock up on some funding and she says,
• 37:29
  go down where and he says to the ground, and she's like,
• 37:34
  wait, you can do that. And I find it hilarious that she never
• 37:38
  even asked if she could get down from here. She asked if he could
• 37:44
  bring her there, but not if she could get off the floating island,
• 37:47
  which would be my first question. So the fact that this never even came
• 37:52
  up, I assumed that she had asked already, because why would that not
• 37:59
  be immediately what you're asking about. But evidently no. So they are on
• 38:08
  like they go to and it's not like the round ground. Fully, they're
• 38:15
  still on this bubble, I want to say, but it's more ground than
• 38:22
  where they had been, and there are ships there that they can take that
• 38:28
  fly. They're really really cool looking. Honestly, I'm very into all of
• 38:34
  the bubble imagery that we've got going on in this arc. And the bubbles
• 38:45
  filled with fire in the manner of like a hot air balloon, so that
• 38:51
  is the way. It's almost like they're in a balloon, a weather balloon,
• 38:54
  I guess would make sense. It is pretty cool looking, and they
• 39:00
  are able to pass through the bubble that forms the sort of like protected barrier
• 39:06
  of this land, and I just think that this is really neat. I
• 39:10
  really like the look of this. And it turns out that what he does
• 39:16
  is he tries and helps various peoples with the difficulties they're having in weather so
• 39:23
  they wind up landing in this area where there is a terrible drought, and
• 39:30
  I do enjoy this aspect of it. This old man is like, hey,
• 39:35
  guys, I could help you and make it rain lol, for one
• 39:40
  hundred million barries and just wildly overestimates what it is these people can afford.
• 39:49
  And then when Nami points out that's a lot, dude, do you think
• 39:54
  they look like they've got that kind of money laying around? He's like,
• 39:58
  well, then what about a berries, which is like what you would pay
• 40:01
  for like a pack of gum? And I love the fact that he asks
• 40:08
  for way too much and it seemed like it was just pure greed. But
• 40:14
  it seems like what it is is that this man has absolutely no concept of
• 40:17
  how money works. So the fact that Nami is the one with him and
• 40:22
  he's over here talking about like getting funding for his research, it's no wonder
• 40:27
  you haven't got any funding, sir. You don't know how to like how
• 40:30
  money happens. So she's the perfect person. You know, she'll be able
• 40:35
  to do his accounting and handle the negotiations and be reasonable about how much he's
• 40:44
  charging. And he begins to generate all of these clouds and then hands her
• 40:52
  one of those ropes that she like unties the knots in order to bring the
• 40:58
  wind up, which I'd forgotten about this whole thing. I like that.
• 41:01
  I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but like they in nautical terms,
• 41:07
  the traveling speed is not right, it's going about twenty knots capn you
• 41:15
  know. So the fact that she uses notts, actual physical ones to create
• 41:20
  the wind is very very fun to me. I like it. And yeah,
• 41:23
  all of a sudden, the bubbles holding these ring clouds explode, the
• 41:28
  clouds expand really quickly and suddenly, and it just begins to pour rain,
• 41:34
  and she's just sort of like blown away at what he was able to accomplish
• 41:38
  and how meaningful this is to these people, Like this is a huge help,
• 41:45
  and he doesn't like I think that as much as Nami can just be
• 41:52
  somebody who's after treasure and that's all she cares about. She does care about
• 41:57
  people too, but that's not as fun, you know. So I like
• 42:01
  her getting involved in this. And she asks if she can like learn from
• 42:06
  him, and he says absolutely, anybody who wants to learn about the weather
• 42:12
  and who's passionate about it. I'm down. And this is when we cut
• 42:16
  to what is the name of this I can't remember it. It's the island
• 42:23
  where all of the like engineers and mechanics come from, though, And this
• 42:28
  is the story with Frankie. God, I can't believe I forgot his name.
• 42:31
  I'm so sorry, Frankie. So reminder, Frankie has been turned from
• 42:38
  a goofy gus into a refined englishman. It's very weird because he's still in
• 42:47
  his like little skivvies, but he's got that like evening jacket and bow tie
• 42:55
  with it. And because he's only functioning on tea and not with soda and
• 43:05
  they don't have any soda, it's like gonna take a while for it to
• 43:07
  arrive. He isn't going to return to his old self. And I love
• 43:12
  this little kid just being like dude used to be fun. I really hate
• 43:17
  this version of him. This sucks. So he goes and visits Frankie in
• 43:23
  the middle of the night and it's just staring at him in a real creepy
• 43:27
  way at one point, and he's looking at him and has opened his door,
• 43:32
  and then it cuts to Frankie in the woods and he's just on his
• 43:37
  bed in the woods. I was so baffled. I was like, is
• 43:42
  he trying to kill him? Like, what exactly is it that he's attempting
• 43:45
  to do. At this point, Frankie gets up and is like, oh
• 43:52
  nice, there's a scarf, and he grabs it. And it's a snake.
• 43:55
  And it's not just a snake like a regular snake. It's a snake
• 44:01
  that has been altered mechanically and given like a laser that fits inside its mouth,
• 44:10
  so it basically opens its mouth and like sprays him with a laser.
• 44:16
  I hesitate to say sprays, but it feels less like a targeted like small
• 44:22
  beam and more like an explosion. It's almost like it breathed fire on him.
• 44:28
  But it's too controlled really for that. So Frankie is standing out here,
• 44:36
  and then he like is walking back towards the facility and he comes across
• 44:39
  a sign that says keep out mechanical animals, and I'm like, what the
• 44:45
  fuck? And then this little kid whose name is Terreemo to to Remo,
• 44:52
  I don't remember, but he opens this like trapdoor and is watching all the
• 44:57
  proceedings, apparently on the impression that if Frankie fights, all of these like
• 45:05
  wild animals, he will just become his normal self again. Unclear why he
• 45:15
  thinks that's what's going to happen. I don't really get the you know,
• 45:22
  like he It's like, what makes me think of are those old sitcoms in
• 45:32
  like the late eighties early nineties where somebody got hit on the head and began
• 45:37
  acting differently, and then the only solution ever was to hit them on the
• 45:44
  head again and get them back to their old self. That's what I'm thinking
• 45:50
  here is like just sort of a shock. But it becomes really clear very
• 45:55
  quickly that this new version of Frankie does not know how to fight. He
• 46:00
  is getting the shit kicked out of him, and he's asking the animals if
• 46:06
  they are cranky because they forgot to eat breakfast, like trying this whole thing.
• 46:12
  When the little kid yells help, Frankie does interpose himself between the child
• 46:17
  and the gorilla, the altered sort of gorilla. But even though he does
• 46:25
  this, he still has like the bravery he always had. He doesn't seem
• 46:30
  to have the desire to fight. It's not even that he doesn't have the
• 46:35
  skills anymore. He's trying to like reason with this animal that's beating the shit
• 46:44
  out of him and be like, hey, you know, we don't have
• 46:46
  to do things this way, and I just was like, don't we know.
• 46:52
  I don't know, bruh, it seems like we may have to do
• 46:55
  things this way. I get why you uh will like to sidestep it.
• 47:00
  But he just keeps talking about how like violence isn't necessarily the answer, and
• 47:07
  I'm like, but sometimes it is, though, And as this like beat
• 47:16
  down continues, this is so strange, you guys, the tea that is
• 47:24
  inside Frankie's like stomach compartment gets bubbles in it. Now it seems like what
• 47:34
  he says later is basically I've finally like worked up ahead of steam or something
• 47:39
  like that. I've run out of steam literally, And I couldn't understand,
• 47:47
  Like, I guess it's supposed to be that his anger is causing it to
• 47:53
  turn to steam, because at first, what I thought was that it was
• 47:59
  becoming carbon needed somehow, and that the way that was happening was that all
• 48:06
  of the tumult of him getting like beaten and stuff was what was allowing that
• 48:15
  to happen. Like he was being banged back and forth, and it was
• 48:19
  causing all these bubbles that it became carbonation, which doesn't really physically make sense.
• 48:23
  But it also doesn't physically make sense that he had becomes so angry that
• 48:28
  the tea just starts to boil. It doesn't matter either way. In the
• 48:34
  midst of this fight, his eyes suddenly turned bright red, which is real
• 48:37
  creepy look, and I did not care for that. And he starts shooting
• 48:43
  steam out of his nose and mouth and ears, and his hair spontaneously jumps
• 48:50
  back up into a uh not exactly a mohawk. I guess you could call
• 48:55
  it a faux hawk. And his jacket shreds from the like arm from the
• 49:01
  shoulders down, so he's once again in a short sleeved outfit. He looks
• 49:07
  mostly back to his own self, but it turns out that he is not
• 49:13
  fully back to himself because he is out of steam. He is going to
• 49:16
  turn into the upright citizen tea drinker until he gets more steam. And this
• 49:27
  kid is like, really, he's like Vega punk. We will be able
• 49:31
  to like find a way to give you a soda machine. This guy is
• 49:37
  the genius that cooked up a whole ton of the stuff on this island,
• 49:44
  Like those animals that you just fought. I heard he was kind of an
• 49:47
  odd ball and he did leave the island to overrun with dangerous cyborgs, but
• 49:52
  that doesn't make him any less of a genius. And I just have to
• 49:57
  say, yes, it does, Yes, it does. So apparently this
• 50:07
  place is like boarded up, and this kid is like, I'm I was
• 50:12
  told not to come in here unless like he doesn't even say unless for an
• 50:15
  emergency. He says, just straight up, I wasn't allowed in here,
• 50:19
  but this is an emergency, so you're going to have to protect me.
• 50:24
  The moment that they step foot in here, all of these different alarms begin
• 50:29
  to go off and all of these lights turn on, things come worrying to
• 50:35
  life, and they turn and look at something that we don't actually see,
• 50:42
  and Frankie just says, well, this isn't good. So that's the end
• 50:46
  of that episode. Let's go to Sanjy you guys, Sonji and Choppers.
• 50:58
  I've only got like seven and it's left in this recording, and I pretty
• 51:04
  much can cover both of these in that time. I may it may even
• 51:07
  be too much time. It's really surprising how little happens all things considered.
• 51:17
  So Sanji is just re you know, remains enraged at the fact that he
• 51:23
  thought he was somewhere full of pretty women and it turns out that they are
• 51:30
  either trans women or simply men who enjoy cross dressing. It's not really made
• 51:38
  totally clear. I think they're supposed to be trans women, but I don't
• 51:46
  know, like exactly. So either way, he thought he was going to
• 51:52
  be getting something that he wound up not getting and is so sulky, I
• 52:00
  mean, so so petulant about it now. Granted, they keep trying to
• 52:12
  make him do the feminine things, and it's sort of funny because a part
• 52:17
  of me, it wants to disapprove right of the fact that this dude wants
• 52:23
  no part of this and they are not respecting that and backing off. A
• 52:29
  part of me is just sort of like, why can't we just I can't
• 52:37
  help but think about the people who are not SIS, who have been forced
• 52:45
  to pretend to be SIS. So I have less and less sympathy for Sanjy
• 52:51
  because he's just experiencing what a lot of people have been forced to live through
• 52:55
  their entire lives. It's like the vibe is off, but also the big
• 53:07
  part of me just can't care enough, do you know what I'm saying.
• 53:10
  So anyway, he gets brought to Caroline, who is like the interim queen
• 53:22
  of the I can't remember the name of this island, and she you,
• 53:30
  guys, I really really love her look. I feel like I mentioned this
• 53:37
  last time I saw her, but she looks so much like the woman who
• 53:42
  plays Audrey on Ellen. Talk about a blast from the past. The show
• 53:51
  Ellen is not a show that I ever really like reference in any sense because
• 53:57
  it's so irrelevant. But Audrey just had a look to her that this character
• 54:02
  has, and it is really funny to me how similar that I almost wonder
• 54:09
  if it's purposeful. I'm like, did Oda remember her and like base her
• 54:17
  off of that character specifically? I don't. I don't know. But anyway,
• 54:29
  the whole thing is Snjie arguing about how he doesn't want any part of
• 54:32
  this. He just wants to get off this island, and Caroline is like,
• 54:38
  I will let you off as long as you are able to be our
• 54:44
  strongest fighter, which, of course, unsurprisingly it turns out to be her,
• 54:52
  and of course Anjie agrees, and she's like, well, you have
• 54:54
  to put on our uniform. In order to fight, and he agrees,
• 55:01
  well, shocker, it's a dress and it's makeup. The eyeshadow looks quite
• 55:07
  fetching. The dress does nothing for him. This is not doing many favors.
• 55:14
  There is a way that this could have been made to work, and
• 55:15
  it doesn't. His nails are painted and he's wearing high heels. By the
• 55:21
  way, He's got a whole thing going on. So he comes out.
• 55:27
  Everybody's saying how cutie looks, and he's like, shut up, I do
• 55:30
  not. I've had more of this than I can take. And then finally
• 55:35
  outcomes Caroline. And Caroline has that ability of like sort of sneaking up on
• 55:43
  you with uh, I can't remember what it's called. If it's I keep
• 55:50
  wanting to say shave. It is shave, right. I don't know if
• 55:53
  that's exactly the move that she's doing, but it's the next best thing.
• 55:59
  He doesn't know she's there, and she's suddenly in front of him, and
• 56:02
  she is able to send him sprawling at just a touch under the chin at
• 56:07
  one point. The look that she's got, you, guys, I love
• 56:10
  this whole outfit. She's got like the headband, a sort of sixties like
• 56:15
  side sweat bang with a the headband matches a pair of cat's eye glasses,
• 56:23
  and this like roughly dress. She's got knee socks on. Like it's a
• 56:30
  fucking killer look. If I were going to do a cosplay, I'd probably
• 56:34
  pick this. It's just so cute. I would wear this. And he
• 56:40
  goes in with like a hard kick. Of course, when he removes his
• 56:45
  foot and waits for the dust to clear, she's not fucking there. Eventually,
• 56:52
  there comes this point where he is She's like, he gets real,
• 56:59
  what's the word self conscious about the fact that it looks like she is sneaking
• 57:02
  peaks up his dress. And it's so funny because he's like, why should
• 57:09
  I care about that? I'm a guy, and I'm like, why should
• 57:13
  a woman care about that? And it's just because we're supposed to be more
• 57:15
  modest than men are, Like, there's nothing more to be seen with women's
• 57:21
  underwear than men's underwear. If anything, there's less, but men are the
• 57:27
  ones that are supposed to not be embarrassed while we are. It's weird,
• 57:32
  but yeah, she says, well, you are using your masculinity to like
• 57:38
  hide your true feelings. You aren't living as who you really are, so
• 57:47
  you should be free and awaken your inner maiden. And even though Sangi is
• 57:58
  like trying to fight back, it's like something in him has cracked and he's
• 58:04
  just like no, no, no, actually hold on. And it's weird
• 58:07
  because the reaction is like paired with him being paralyzed with embarrassment, as if
• 58:14
  that's proof that he is now fully a maiden. Just really weird requirements for
• 58:21
  womanhood in this. It's strange, truly, but we have the whole metaphor
• 58:28
  of like a flower blooming and everything, you guys, it is really wild.
• 58:35
  And the next thing we see is him like gallivanting around on the beach
• 58:40
  wearing a dress and heels and just like embracing being super fem and it's like
• 58:51
  he's writing a letter to Nami and to Robin. I don't know how he's
• 58:55
  sending this. I don't know how any of this is working. Also,
• 58:59
  his hair has a parent grown or he's just been given really weird extensions.
• 59:04
  I love that he's got the lipstick and everything, but he stood at his
• 59:07
  cigarette choppers thing. I'm just gonna do this really quick, you guys.
• 59:14
  Chopper's caring for an infant bird that fell. You think that this is going
• 59:20
  to matter to the other birds that he rescued this infant, it doesn't.
• 59:24
  And he's still being hunted by the wild savages who are speaking in terrible like
• 59:30
  Native American stereotypical language to be eaten. And that's it. That's like all
• 59:38
  that happens. It's just really tiresome. Chopper's arc is the most boring by
• 59:45
  far. I haven't seen anybody else yet. That's all we got, so
• 59:50
  I may change my assessment, but as of right now, I don't know
• 59:53
  what we're doing here. But all he is having happened is like being thrown
• 59:58
  off cliffs and stuff. And I love Chopper and I don't like seeing him
• 1:00:01
  treated like this, So I'm very eager for this part to end. So
• 1:00:06
  all right, I'm gonna wrap up. Thank you guys again for listening.
• 1:00:08
  Hope you all are enjoying the coverage. Thank you Florian for commissioning, and
• 1:00:10
  until next time to lu motherfuckers. That was an Unspoiled Network podcast.
