  Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes sixty seven through six ' sixty
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: nine Nice, the Admiral's decision, Fujita versus do Flamingo, The
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: final round starts, Diamante, the hero shows up, and a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: moving castle. The top executive Peka rises up. In these episodes,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we get more of Senor Pink, which is really my
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: primary interest and focus, but also we get to actually
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: like meet this child in a way that doesn't change
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: anything that I think of her, or change anything about
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the way I believe she would react if people offered
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: her grapes to stop doing what she's doing. Welcome to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and Florian is here in the chat with me, so
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that is delightful and appreciated. So yeah, these episodes not
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: quite as good as the last ones, because I just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: don't see that any episode is going to be able
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to top the introduction of Senor Pink. I feel like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's kind of you're just not really I classify that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in like my top two moments of this entire show.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So I am not going to hold my breath that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: anything is going to beat that. But it's still because
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he's still part of the storyline, and because we I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: won't say we spend like less time in the arena necessarily,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but what happens in the arena gets mixed up a bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You know. It's just been very much like, oh, this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: block is all fighting each other in a battle royale,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and its names and names and names and people doing
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: wild things, and inevitably the person that you know is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: probably going to be the one left standing is the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one left standing. And there's just there are very few
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: surprises or there's just not much interest for me in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that plot, and even like the individual battles are not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: compelling enough for that to change. But now that we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have progressed to a point where we have got our
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: mains and we are we are making the retrieval of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the actual fruit the goal. This is not what I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was expecting. I thought we were gonna get something that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was a little bit more maybe like an obstacle course
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sort of thing, or like an American gladiator where you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: take two people and put them against each other, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you put them on a weird playing ground. That has
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bizarre things happening with it. You know, I recognize that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in this universe, manipulating the surroundings probably is less like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what keeps coming to mind for me. And I've brought
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: up the series Cradle before, but there is a tournament
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in Cradle where eventually people are paired up against each
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: other and due to the fact that they use a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: type of magic that draws manna from the air around them,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and that is usually a type of manna based on
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: like whether it's hot or cold, whether there's sun or
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: fire or wind or whatever, the location that they fight in,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the actual arena itself is magically adjusted to contain more
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of whatever manna it is they use, and that gives
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: them a supply that allows them to fight at like
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: peak level. And you know, obviously in this universe that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not how the magic works. But I thought that there
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: might be something that we did to sort of throw
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a wrench in the works for players that have a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: particular type of advantage, you know, players who are really
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: really good at a For example, if I were going
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to really fuck up Rebecca, all I'd have to do
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is make it so there's no water to fall into
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and then what is she going to do? Her entire
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: attack focuses on deflecting until people lose their footing and fall. Well,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if you don't have that, now what you know if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you've got a who else has made Because we obviously
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: would have had Loofy, but now we have Sabo, And
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Sabo's like current fighting style is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and what his advantages are, so I can't tell how
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm really wondering if people are going to start to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: wonder what the hell's going on with his fighting because
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's going to be so different. But anyway, the changeup
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: turns out to be we have a bigger, batter tougher
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: fighting fish, which frankly, the fighting fish thing, it's sort
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of funny because, like I will admit that when the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: bigger batter fish shows up and it swims by the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: smaller fish and you get to see just how big
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it is in comparison to them, I did have a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: moment of like, oh shit, But I have to admit
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that the fighting fish thing is so difficult for me
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to fully like be intimidated by, even though I know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that they are a real threat, you know, like we
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: have seen sea kings and all manner of sea monster though,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and I think that's what's sort of influencing me, is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: just that it's hard for me to be impressed in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this arena full of like other fighters and knowing what
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: other monsters are out there, and it's just sort of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: working against itself in a weird way. But the fact
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is that the flame flame fruit has been stored on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: this animal's back, and the assignment, should they choose to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: accept it, is to go and get the fruit off
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: its back, and the first person to do it is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the winner. And I was both very gratified at the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: fact that we don't have another like round to go through.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: This is it. Whoever gets the flame flame fruit here
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: evidently is going to be the winner. So I thought
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we were going to have a whole nother series of rounds,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Like I said that it was going to be a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one on one thing, and we were, you know. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it was very remarkable to me that we jumped from
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: these battle royales with like thirty contestants per block and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: then immediately into no, but it's about to be over
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like after this. I just wasn't ready for that at all.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this this the fact that they have changed
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: things up this way at least has made the tournament
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't even know if I want
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to say it made it more interesting exactly, but it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: at least changed things up enough for now that I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: am not just sort of like, oh whatever every time
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you go back to the tournament, which is how I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have felt about it, and I'm you know, I do
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the thing guys where I jump all over the place.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to continue with that. But the second
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: episode is the one where Diamante shows up, and I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't there's very much like a Stephen Tyler sort of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: vibe to him also, though, And I know that some
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of you are going to get who I'm talking about,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and some of you may just be like, what do
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you guys remember? And it took me a while to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: like clock exactly who this guy kept making me think of,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: do you guys remember on January sixth, when insurrectionists took
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: over the Capitol building, how there was a young dude
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: who was actually extremely hot, which was so unfortunate, wearing
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: like red, white and blue face paint and this weird
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: antlered sort of fur hat. And I think he was
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: either shirtless or he was just wearing like a vest
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and no shirt, something like this. It was a guy
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: who was like some kind of influencer, like a right
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: wing influencer, and I don't remember his name, but people
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: who were watching the footage knew who he was right away.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: He was well known enough, and I realized finally, like,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: oh my god, that's who I keep thinking of. Florian says,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I know who you mean, and I see what you mean.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I can see it, okay, yeah, because it was just distracting.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I was just like, why is this guy reminding me
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of somebody? And like, I don't one was January sixth?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Was that twenty twenty, twenty twenty one? It was after
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, right, so twenty twenty one. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: think I anticipate that these episodes were written long long
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: before that. So I'm not trying to say that this
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is an actual thing that he was attempting to reference,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: because you know, there's been plenty of that. It's very
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: clear that Oda is taking inspiration a lot of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: time from real life people or classical characters from literature
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever. He comes up with stuff from all over
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the place. That it's he's not trying to hide the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: fact that they are inspired by a thing, but I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: don't think that's what he was doing here at all. However,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I am sort of you guys know that the Mick
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Jagger thing with the dude who hypnotizes people was feeling
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like very on the nose, and this guy's his animation
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is similar enough that I started to sort of think
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Mick Jagger, and then I was like, no, I feel
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: like Steven Tyler is more appropriate for this guy. There's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: something more bombastic to me about Stephen Tyler than about
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Mick Jagger. And I may be wrong about that. People
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: who know music, well maybe just like girl, oh you're stupid,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: shut up, and if so, apologies, But I always picture
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Mick Jagger just sort of like dancing on stage, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: sort of like in a way that's uh, almost like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: an ordinary person just jamming out to music in their apartment.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And Stephen Tyler is the guy who's like bending over
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his mic which is tipped all the way backward and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: almost touching the floor and he's making love too on
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the stage kind of thing. So the way that Diamante
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: comes out, it's that combined with what he's animated to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: look like. That was giving Steven Tyler so strongly to me,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and it's it's actually, you know, it's one of those
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: moments that is very clearly been stretched out in order
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to fill time in the episode. But the rock music
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that they play at that moment is pretty solid actually,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and the people are responding to him so positively that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it helps carry it a lot of the way. So
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I I you know, Demante has frequently been sort of like,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you're right, I'm a genius, and I don't know if
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that is also something to do with Steven Tyler, but
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: if he is somebody that it turns out, needed constant
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: validation from people, it would be very fun to find
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that out. And he is approached. There's a bunch of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: dudes who were knocked out of the previous round and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they are ready to storm the stage, so to speak,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: out of rage because they don't believe they really lost
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: against Rebecca. They think that there was some chicanery, there
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: were some shenanigans, and it was like, I was genuinely
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: surprised that there is anything set up to allow them
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to come onto the stage like this. There's no guards,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: there's no anybody, And eventually Diamante does his thing and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you guys. I'm sorry, remind me what the fruit is called?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Is it ripple ripple fruit? It turns out that he
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: can make basically any surface wobble and wave as if
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it were made of fabric. The way that he puts
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it is like I can turn anything into a flag.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I think is the way he says it. And I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: am going to I'm going to reserve judgment on this
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: because while he was able to deal with these guys,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it turns out that his cloak is a piece of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like solid steel, but it just looks like a rippling
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: regular cloak because of his power. I couldn't help even
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: though he does deal with these dudes, I couldn't help
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: feeling like this is kind of lame. And when I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: say I'm going to reserve judgment, I mean that I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: have a suspicion this could be a power that's actually
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: really really versatile and you but I don't have the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the or not that I don't have the imagination, but
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that I have not stopped and like brainstormed what you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: could do with this if I'm gonna try to, what
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I keep sort of coming up with is like you
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: could if your enemy is like standing on a surface
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you could maybe make the surface wavy and difficult for
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: them to stand on, or you could make their sword
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: wavy so that it doesn't like hit you the same way.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Or you can make your own sword wave so that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they're trying to guard against it, and it like manages
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to get around their defenses in a way they didn't anticipate.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Like really like stopping to think about it. As much
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: as my first reaction was sort of oh my god,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: really whatever, I have to admit that when you come
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: down to it, what this power does is it takes
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a fundamental stability that we all take for granted and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: depend on and undoes it, which probably is deceptively effective.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: When you really stop and think about how you would
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: react to that, I feel like, yeah, I could see
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: this being If not, it depends who you're dealing with,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: how adaptable they are with their power is if they
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have one, Like, there's all kinds of mitigating factors here
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that would change how folks respond and whether or not
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you be able to get one over on them. But
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: something as basic as like my sword or fabric reacts
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: this way and now it's not doing that, Yeah, that
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: would probably if it didn't, Like I'm trying to think
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: if I were coping with somebody like that, if setting
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: aside fighting, just the kind of anxiety that I would
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: wind up having because things weren't reacting the way that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I expected them to would probably be worth something, you know.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So Okay, I still think it's a little bit of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a lame power like in terms of the way it
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: seems upfront, but I admit, probably it's gonna be really
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: effective and difficult. I think it Probably all of this
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is going to very much depend on how much imagination
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: he uses when he is utilizing his power in a fight,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: because this is something that's sort of difficult to predict
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: with this show, where there'll be something that revealed and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I will really expect it to be used in xyz way,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and then it turns out that I was the only
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: one who thought that and the author had no interest
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and he decided to go in a totally different direction
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: with it, and I will kind of be left standing
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: there like, oh, I mean this is cool too, you know.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And so I'm wondering if the ideas that I just
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: came up with for it, if we're even going to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: be doing anything like that. These are ideas that I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: think could be cool and intimidating, but it may not
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: be how he wants to play this at all. Florian says,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I think of it as the flap Flap Fruit, but
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that's not the name. Oh yeah, I don't know. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: don't think is he on your character list. I don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: feel like I saw him there last time, but I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: gonna go check anyway. So anyway, this dude does not
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: take kindly to the fact that these men have decided
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that they are going to be sore losers, and he
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: calls them sore losers in front of everybody, and it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: just like bruhs, nobody wants to hear it. You're not
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: going to disrupt our shit by trying to mess with
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the results of this battle. And he uses his cape
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to send them packing, which I recognize that he has
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: an ability and Rebecca doesn't. But the fact that it
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was so easy to send them packing is truly a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: testament to how much they were beaten by Rebecca. I mean,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if these guys were actually beaten by her,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: or if it is that they were what's the word
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I want? If they were just like you know, people
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: who were victimized by the madness that comes over Cavendish,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: but it very much feels for me like either way,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: how easily you were trounced in this moment is evidence
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in my opinion that you got very fairly kicked out
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of the competition and don't deserve to be here. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I know that maybe I'm being a little bit harsh,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: but I stand by it. So anyway, I'm sorry, I'm
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: all over the place here, but I'm just trying to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: like kind of hit the highlights of the stuff that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I am the most riveted by, because we jump all
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: over the place, and it can be it's deceptive with
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the way that I cover things how difficult and tricky
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it is for me to make sure that I say
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: what I would like to. In addition to covering just
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the plot beats of the episode, there are plenty of
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: things that I can cover in just this. This is
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the summary of what happens here. But I don't feel
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: like you guys are really here as much for the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: flat out summary as you are for my reaction to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: what happened and how I feel about it, And I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: don't like there are plenty of times where the plot
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: itself is much less compelling than the introduction of a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: new character or a new power and all of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: potential that that brings with it, and it becomes more
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: interesting to sort of consider how this could be implemented
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: or whether this person is going to be somebody that
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: goes up against one of our guys. That's what I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: keep thinking about with with Rebecca is like she really
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I can't help, but like stand by what I said
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: before about the fact that all it is she can
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: do seems to be defending until people lose their footing,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what, if anybody she can go
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: up against and really truly like win a fight. So
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I've got my eye out on that a little bit.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And somebody like Diamante and who I would want him
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to be paired against if I were going to if
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I were going to pick one of the straw hats
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: specifically and be like, Okay, here's somebody who this power
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: would be really amusing to watch fighting, I think I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: would have to go with Zorro. I think Zorro because
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: he would be so angry. I think that's a big
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: part of it for me, is that the idea of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: matter just not obeying the laws of nature and physics
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I think he would become very quickly enraged by this,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and that it would be like he would start to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: lose his temper just because there's no way to predict
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: what this guy is going to do it too, I'm
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: wondering if there are limitations to it, if there's like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: can he just reach across and do this to your
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: own clothing even though he isn't that close to you.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Is there a proximity that you need to be within.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Does he need to be touching you or have touched
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you at some point, like you know, with the various powers,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you had to actually lay your hand on somebody. Or
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think with Robin it's like she has to be
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: able to see the place where her arms are coming
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: out of from where she's standing, something like that. So
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, if I were going to pick somebody
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: for him to go up against, I think Sorrow's the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: one would that it would be the most fun. But
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I think the person it would be most effective against
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: would have to be Usop because Usap works so much
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: with props. You know, he has so many objects that
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he uses to fight with. He is not a physical fighter.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: He is somebody who comes prepared and has a bunch
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of toys and gadgets up his sleeve, and if you
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: can affect those, you're basically rendering him completely powerless. And
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if this would work the same way,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: but it just had me thinking, you know, and it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: tough because Deamonte seems like such a showman. I'm not
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: even sure exactly how much fighting he cares to do,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: so this may be irrelevant, but I like to think
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: about this stuff. So Rebecca, now that we are like
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: getting ready to go back into the arena with the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: people who have actually made it this far, she runs
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: into to Sabo and of course from Afar. She says, oh,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it's Lucy, but I think she she knows he's Loofy,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: right he is? Is his real name with her? I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: can't remember, but anyway, she realizes very quickly that like
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the scar on his chest is not quite bright, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: there's just a bunch of little giveaways. And I think
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he's also a bit taller than Loofy, but I could
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: be wrong about that. And he doesn't actually explain who
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: he is, but he says that he is like approved,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I have been sent here by him. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: know your history and I'll explain things later. It's so
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: funny how fucking uppity Bartolomeo gets he like initially she's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just like, you're not Loofy, who are you? And bart
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Lomeo like, how dare you speak to him? Oh my god,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Sabo has to be like it's okay, she's a friend.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: He told me that she was a friend, like, chill out, bro.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But it is very funny how protective he is. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: there are some people who would behave this way because
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: they are self important and they just want somebody to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: feel like they can attach themselves to to increase their
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: own importance. But I really like the fact that we
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: know with Bartielomeo, it's purely because he cares this much
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: about the straw Hats and Loofy that he is this protective.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: It really isn't attached to his own ego at all.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It's like there's pride there for the fact that he is,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you know, like involved with them and being trusted to
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: do something for Loofy. So I'm not setting that aside completely,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: but the way he is behaving, there's like a purity
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of motivation and wholesomeness to it, even though he's very
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: obnoxious that I cannot help but really think is charming
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and delightful and also, guys, I'm just gonna say it,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Barto DeMeo just could get it. Like I've been eyeing
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: him this whole time, and I finally decided this episode,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, you know what, Like, he's just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: straight up hot. I think it took a little while
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: for me to like fully come around and be like, yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I think he's hot, but because I liked his look.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: But liking somebody's look and thinking they're hot aren't always
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the same thing. But I'm pretty sure that's where I'm
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: at right now, and I have to assume, because this
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: is how it often works for me, that the discovery
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of the type of person he is has been a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: major factor in him turning the corner and becoming hot.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: To me, I am someone for whom a person cannot
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: remain attractive after I find out that they are not
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a good person. It's just it's not something that's conscious.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I don't like make myself stop seeing them as hot.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It's just the whole reaction that I have to seeing
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: their face changes, because now I associate their face very
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: strongly with bad things and people being like suffering because
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of them, and because Bartolomeo has just proven to be
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: more and more delightful every episode. I think that's why
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like full on now, like no, I think that
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: he could get it. Yeah, let's go with that. So
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to back up a little bit and talk
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: about Violet trying to get Loofy, the Samurai, and Zoro
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: into the palace. You guys, there's such a variety of
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: things going on here. She has to kind of, like,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you know, prove to them that she is on their side,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: which does not take very long, thank goodness. And oh
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and Wika, I keep forgetting Wika. I'm so sorry, Wicka,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because honestly, it's just because oftentimes you are hidden inside
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: of Zorro's costume, so she literally I can't see her.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But I need to begin to put more respect on
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: her name because she is the only one here who
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: has any earthly idea what's going on. Like, now that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Violet's here, we've got somebody with some intelligence, But like
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: it was, it was not great. Like the Samurai is
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the one that's the most logical. I would say Zora
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: is a great fighter, but he has no sense of direction,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't take direction well, like in both the sense of
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: physically taking directions but also instructions. Loofy just does what
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the fuck he feels like, which we see very much
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: is still the case later on, and the Samurai tends
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to mostly be on like the logic of things, but
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: he has such strange hang ups or customs or expectations
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: of people that there are definitely times where I'm just like,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy. So all of them can
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: be very tiresome in their own ways, and Wika has
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: been the one out of all of them that is like, you, guys,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Y'all aren't exactly inspiring a
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: ton of confidence here, I really have to admit, And
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: once Violet shows up at least we have a little
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: bit of confidence in violate, Like Wika isn't the only one,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: but uh, it's it's like not it doesn't really even
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: matter in the end, as we find out, because Lufy
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: is just gonna do what the fuck he feels like,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: no matter who with logic is around him. So I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: feel very badly for everyone caught up in his in
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: his radius. I suppose this is like you guys know,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I have said this sort of thing before, so I'm
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: not going to dwell on it, but I just want
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to sort of revisit it because I have talked about
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it that it's really tough for me to fully understand
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Lufy's appeal as a captain when he cares about his people,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: and I think that's really the only saving grace for
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: me is that it's so obvious that he cares, that
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: he is genuinely invested in their friendship, that you know,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: without a doubt, always here is a guy who would
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: have my back, and that is tough to find. You know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that is not an easy thing. So I don't want
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to pretend that's not valuable or something that especially a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: lot of people who don't have like reliable family in
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: their lives as clearly these characters do not. They understand
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the value of that. But it's still the way that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: he can care about them and what happens to them
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: as people, but then pretty quickly forget that his actions
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: have consequences for them as much as anybody. It's really
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: difficult for me to sort of square that circle sometimes
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and not see the fact that he is doing what
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: he wants without regard to anybody else as him not
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: caring because this is something that I have coped with
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: in my life is people who will say that they
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: give a shit and they will be there for you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: in like sort of dire circum circumstances, you know, but
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: when it comes to everyday stuff that they have to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: show up for, they are not great with that. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: it can be difficult to sort of comprehend that you
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: matter to them, but that you are not I won't
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: say not worth the effort, but that they don't factor
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: you into their consideration when they make big decisions, I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: guess is really what it comes down to. It's because
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I am somebody, and this is the thing for a
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: lot of women in general, but I am somebody who
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: factors in the people around me to a degree that's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: probably not healthy. I am always thinking about how what
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I do is going to affect folks around me. What
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: it is that those people prioritize what they want versus
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: what I want, and how to get that for them
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: while also getting what I want or maybe not and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: compromising on that. There's you know, there's just there's a
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: way that women are raised to make the comfort and
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: safety of those around us more of a priority than
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: our own, and so I can't help but be like
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: offended a little bit sometimes at the way he throws
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: everybody else's safety into jeopardy without a thought. It's part
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of what makes the story go and part of his charm.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But there is a sense for me that I can't
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: get past of like resentment over this, and just you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: aren't the fucking only person in this world, Loofy. These
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: folks that are with you are trying to like do
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: something good and survive it, and you really are acting
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: like you don't care if they do or not. And
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I know that you do care. We have seen it,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: so I'm not saying he doesn't, not really, but actions
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: speak louder than words, and it's like he's over here
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice everything in order to rescue people. But
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes I can't help but feel like they wouldn't require
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: rescue at all if you had fought for a second
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: before you did anything. And it's it just kind of
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: gets to me because like, eventually we reach a point
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: in this where we're trying to sneak up to the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: area where do Flamingo is and Lufy fully throws caution
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to the wind and just jumps into a fight with
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: all of the guards outside this certain area and doesn't
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: listen to the fact that they had a different plan
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that was meant to be more sneaky, and really it
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: seems like what he thinks the problem is is that
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the door is closed. So once he's knocked everybody out
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and he can just open the door, now we're good.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: And they have to be like, that wasn't the problem, bruh.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: And that leads to a pretty funny sequence where Do
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Flamingo is hearing from his guards that Lufy is here,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: but Do Flamingo is watching the fights in the arena
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and is seeing what he thinks is Lufy fighting in
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the arena and is just like, wait, hold on, what
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And there's a woman who says something like he's he's
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: in disguise, sure, but it's sloppy, like that's definitely him.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile all of the guards are like, no, no, no,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I promise that is definitely Loofy. That is running down
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: our hallway right now, and our guys get stopped by
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a man made of stone. He ate the stone stone fruit.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: This is such a huge power that it's hard for
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: me to fully wrap my head around it. I'm gonna
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: be honest, it's so funny too, because there's another series
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that I've been covering called Bastin, written by Phil Tucker.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I think his last name is Tucker, and it's great.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: It's really really good. It's got a very similar energy
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to Cradle, but it's more adult to me. Cradle has
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: a sort of like teen quality that I had loved
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: while I was reading it, for sure, but there are
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: certainly moments that it feels like we could have gotten
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: a little heavier and didn't. And Bashen is a lot
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: more willing to go there at times, and the characters
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: have a bit more depth due to that, So I
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: recommend it. But there is a character in that who
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: finds out that one of her abilities is that she
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: can manipulate Stone, and everybody is so pissed because that
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: is just such a powerful ability to have, and it's like,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it's so rare in this universe for anybody to be
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in a place where there isn't Stone to manipulate that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: It feels like she's always armed, you know, in some sense.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: And this guy with his ability is he manages to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: literally be like the hall that they are in, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I don't like I would feel so weird about finding
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: out that I was like walking through a dude. You
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: know this, the revelation that essentially his entire body is
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: wrapped around us would be very difficult for me to comprehend.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I think, so the stone stone fruit, I'm I just
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: it's it's supposed to be that he is able to
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: control stone turn into stone, right, because this is I'm
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: so sorry, guys, I always forget this. It's a LOGI
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: a power that turns you into an animal, and you've
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: told me this so many times and I always forget.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: But he is of the power that can turn you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: into like LOUV turns into rubber, and I can't remember
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: what it's called. So that feels like almost unbeatable, damaging stone.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: That's I mean, how do you have how do you
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: even do that? The vibe here of all of them
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: in this hallway, and how it takes a second for
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: them to fully even grasp what's happening because this guy
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: is so huge. There was something about it too, that
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: felt very different from other moments in One Piece. There
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: are so many introductions of new characters and new powers
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: in one Piece, where we are supposed to be very
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed and intimidated by somebody, but I don't necessarily feel that,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: and I think that they really manage it with this
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: section because of how the camera has to very slowly
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: pull back and show us the size of this guy
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: and how he is taking up so much space here,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and so it's just a continual moment as the camera
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: pulls back of you going like oh shit, oh shit,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: oh my god. You know. And so I think that
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: in terms of powers, this one is the one that
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: was the most impressive when I first introduced to it.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: So let's see, I'm trying to find the moment here
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: where Oh oh, I I'm sorry. I keep remembering like
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: other plot points that I wanted to talk about that
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I have not even touched on yet, and I haven't
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: finished talking about the first thing, so I hesitate to
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: like jump over to it. But yeah, this, so this
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: guy is able to control basically the palace is like
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: alive due to his ability, and he can make the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: hallway squeeze to try and crush all of them, and uh,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I just think that's unfair. I just want to go
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: on record and say I don't feel like that should
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: be allowed. Let's jump over to the factory and what's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: going on with USAP and the little people and Sugar
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and all of them. So first of all, I just
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: want to register how I love that Sugar doesn't like Trouble.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I obviously I don't like Trouble. His voice is extremely annoying,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: he has a snot that's always hanging out, which I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: always think is just the foulest shit ever, and he
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: delights in making people suffer, so it seems to me,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: and just overall he's a real piece of shit, and
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Sugar working with him. I had thought there was going
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: to be a kind of like weird fatherly affection between
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the two of them, but no, she straight up tells
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: him he's gross, and he basically tells her to shut
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the fuck up and go to hell. They do not
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: like each other, and I have to admit it was
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: very funny because I just wasn't prepared for their relationship
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: to really be like that. They just like it feels
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: like what's happening here with Trouble is that he likes
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: making people suffer. So he is delighted to be the
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: one chaperoning the little girl with this power. But if
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: he had his way, this would be his power. Like
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I think he resents the fact that this is not
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: something that he gets to control, that she is the one,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you know, and she, for her part, she doesn't seem
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: to like particularly enjoy what she's doing. It just seems
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: like she is obsessed with grapes, and anybody who gives
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: her a grape there she'll be and do whatever they
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: ask as long as she gets to have it. So
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I am very hopeful that just by telling her, please
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: don't ever do this again, we'll give you a lifetime
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: supply of grapes if you just don't, that she'll be like, yeah,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: all right, that's fine, I won't. And what the little
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: people are attempting to do, and this is interesting to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: me because it doesn't feel like it really lines up
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: with the Sop plan, the original plan, what we were
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: told was that it was going to be like, oh,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: we want to surprise her so badly that she passes out.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: But what we're told here is that they have a
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: spice that is like one of the hottest peppers on
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the planet and they plan to sprinkle that onto her grapes,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and that they tried it on some of their own people,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of them passed out and a few
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: of them almost died, and this is related with great glee,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: like they think it's kind of hilarious. It seems like,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: which is a little ghoulish, but go off, I guess.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And I just don't know if I think putting a
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: spice on a fruit so that it's so hot that
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you pass out really counts as a panic surprise, startlement
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: type of attack. I don't really feel like that seems
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: like what we were being led to believe, And I like,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a problem with this. It just
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: feels like we got a very long, like a long
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: moment spent on the title of the plan, the SOP
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: like Operation Soop or whatever it's called, and an explanation
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: of it, and now it kind of feels like none
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: of that matters or is even relevant anymore. I guess
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: that the panic is kind of relevant because once you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: start having like this incredibly hot food that you weren't expecting,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I could understand feeling panic, but it just doesn't quite
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: suit for me. And meanwhile, as they are telling us
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: up what this plan is, he is getting more and
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: more anxious because none of the little people seem to
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: be aware of how much their voices carry and they
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: keep like talking very loudly and cheering for each other,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and it seems like anybody is going to look over
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: here and be able to notice you guys, like you
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: are not trying to be on the DL at all.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, Oosap is just a scaredy cat. So
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: these dudes are They have such total faith in him
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that even when he's like, I'll stay back here and
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: you do it, they think that he's like being a
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: great commander and not putting himself at risk, and that
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: he's somehow like engendering them with the strength that they
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: need to do the thing from afar. They're giving him
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: like so much credit. And I'm very, very curious to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: see how this plan works out because it ends before
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: we actually do this, and like I said, it just
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it quite fits with the theme of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: what we were what I was expecting to see. Also,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I just want to mention that we see Cavendish turned
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: into a toy, and because Cavendish has this weird personality
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: thing going on where there's like a being inside him
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: waiting to come out, I genuinely do not know what
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to expect. Is that still going to be possible while
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: he's in toy form, or is it locked in place
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: now because of the toy thing, or is it going
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: to manifest in some other weird way. Or perhaps once
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: he's turned from being a toy back to a person,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that being will take him over because he'll have passed out.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but this just feels very dangerous to me.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: And also I was genuinely surprised that the fact he
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: is no longer remembered by anybody doesn't seem to fuck
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: him up the way I expected it to. I this
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: is a guy who lives and breathes for accolades and popularity,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and I really thought that when Treble tells him, nobody
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: remembers you anymore. I have even forgotten who you were
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: when you walked in here. I thought Cavendish was gonna
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: completely lose it, and he kind of doesn't. And I really, like,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seemed like that's the whole
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: motivation of his personality. I would have thought a different
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: than what we get, That's all I'm saying. So there's
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: one other, Oh, right, of course, Senor Pink. I'm like,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I know there's something else that I had meant to
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: touch on that I missed so the senior Pink. The
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: whole way that this this is going down is very
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: funny because I love how Frankie always kind of says
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: the thing that I am thinking, and what he says
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: in this section is just like, yeah, I'm getting bored
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: over here. Are we going to do anything? He hasn't
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: been involved in this fight almost at all at this
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: point because there's so many things going on that he's
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: just like lokis sitting there waiting for everybody to start
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to notice that he's there again. And it's very it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: just very funny. There's the the bunch of the guards
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: who realize that they can't beat him, start to run
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Send your Pink. For some reason, He's brushing his teeth
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: a lot in this section, at one point with a
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: single shoebrush, and then later on he's using two at
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: a time to brush his teeth. Unclear if this is
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: supposed to be kind of another baby thing, but they
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: call it a shoebrush in the dub, so I don't
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: know what to make of this, but yeah, Frankie like
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: he uses a missile Send your Pink, doesn't like block
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: it or move or anything, and he like, apparently it
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: is to save somebody behind him. Now that's allegedly what happened.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I am assuming that is the truth, but he never
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: really says that was his reasoning. It's just what one
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: of the soldiers beside him says, which you know how
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: this is like it's constant with one piece that people
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: misunderstand what they are seeing in front of their face,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: and that battle is like really pretty much still going
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: on full tilt by the time this all wraps, and
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: we don't really check in with it again too much.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And then the last thing that I really have to
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: touch on before I wrapped this episode is the conversation
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: between do Fla Mingo and Fuji Tora. Also just a
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: side note, sometimes Lufy has called Dolf Flamingo Dofi, and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: in this episode he calls him mingo, and British friends
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong about this, I couldn't remember
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: like a reason why calling him mingo felt so deeply
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: disrespectful to me. And then I remember that a friend
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of mine from Wales, whenever something stank really bad, she
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: would call it minging, like oh God, it's minging in here,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's why every time he
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: calls a mingo I'm just like, Wow, that's that's rude
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: because I just imagine it as him basically being like, yo,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: stinky and I can't remember if I'm if I have
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: that right that slang, but anyway, so Dofu Mingo like
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: he he seems to think that, Uh, Fuji Torah is like,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if on his side is exactly it,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: but more like you aren't as easy to fool as
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: other people, Like there's almost a respect there, and Fuji
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Torah is saying basically like I'm not on your side.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not even exactly against you specifically. More of my
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: interest is about the people and the danger that they
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: are in as a side effect from what's going on
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: with everybody around them who has power. Basically, he's like,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop Loofy from fighting you because that is
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: going to wreck this place and hurt a lot of people.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: And after we get this all settled, what I'm going
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: to try and do is handle the seven warlords situation,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: because I really think that is some horseshit that we
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: even do things this way. And he knows about the
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: fact that like do Flamingo took over dress Rosa and
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: is like if the Seven Warlords thing continues, they are
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: going to gain more and more power and this is
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be what happens to all kinds of places. So
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: he is essentially seeing Dress Rosa as like a cautionary tale.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how much support he has in that.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: So much of the Marines, they seem like a lot
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: of people really dislike this whole seven Warlords situation, but
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: they just cope with it. And I really wonder if
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: they did decide to sort of unite in a way,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: if it would have an effect. I don't know, but yeah,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo comes after him because, like I guess he
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: didn't think that anybody knew about how he took over
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Dress Rosa. I was surprised because I figured everybody in
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: the Marines knew because this is the like he is
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: protected because of the warlord thing and that he is
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: just sort of allowed to get away with it. But
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: apparently it's supposed to be a big secret to them
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: as well. And after let's see Do Flamingo. Yeah, So
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: he like because he had been sort of mocking Fujiitura
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit, there was a sense of very much
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: not seeing him as much of a threat. You know.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: But he comes at him now and is just sort
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, since you know my secrets, I
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: can't let you walk out of here. And I just
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: found that funny because like, I wouldn't be too surprised
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: if he has told other people about that at this point, dofy, Like,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know that killing him is really gonna change
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: your secret getting out, So we'll see how that works.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: And it makes me like Fujiitura a little bit better.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I was just sort of puzzled by him because he
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: gives the vibe of a good guy, but the fact
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: that he was like almost seeming to help do Flamingo
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: kept I kept running up against it, just being like
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I don't get it, dude. So now it's beginning to
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: make a little bit more sense. He's just trying to
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: sort of keep the peace until bigger batter changes can
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: be made, which I do respect, and I understand handling
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: things that way. I don't even think it's like the
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: wrong way to handle it. It's just like the way
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: that the and this is gonna be probably a complaint
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: that I will have in a lot of respects as
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: the story continues to get bigger, but the Marines will
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: often just be like, well, there's nothing we can do,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, our scrappy band of six people,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I know there's more than six of them at this point,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: but you know, like they're coming in here and handling shit.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: So what the fuck is the point of you? Because
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: you do jackall and we have you know, them about
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: to take out sugar and trouble. Who are the ones
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: making the fucking memories of people disappear and whatnot? And
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like that would be where I would start
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: if I were trying to destabilize. Do flamingo is get
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: the memories returned to a bunch of folks so that
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: they start to realize that maybe if these memories had
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: been disappeared, there are other memories that have been tampered
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: with or other you know, interpretations of events that may
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: be untrue. But I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see. Oh,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Florien's zone is animal, Logia is elemental, Thank you Logia.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: That's the one I was looking for, and paramesia is
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: the rest like Robin, okay, thank you Florian. I really
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: really wish I could remember that. I don't know why
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I have such a blank with it anyway. Okay, I
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: have to wrap this one up, but pretty good three
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: episodes and we'll just see how much trouble Lufy gets
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: in again. Oh loofy, why must you? All? Right, folks,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: appreciate you all, Thank you Florian for commissioning this one
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: and for being here in the chat, and until next
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: time to the loom motherfuckers that was an unspoiled network
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: past
