  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes five eighty five through five eighty seven,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The Warlord Trafalgar Law in a real Pinch, Loofy sinks
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: into the ice cold Lake, and a collision Law versus
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Vice Admiral Smoker. In these episodes, I am very confused
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: about Trafalgar Law and what it is that he wants
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: out of the world. I don't seem to understand him.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And apparently when I saw that those bags were beating,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: apparently the hearts are still moving around, which is incredibly
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: gross and horrible. I hate it. Welcome to spoil Me,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode, and Florian
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: is here in the chat. Delighted you guys this. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: am really, really I don't know what to make of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this dude, Trafalgar Law. He is so I don't want
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to say inconsistent, because I don't think that's necessarily true.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I think if you know what it is that he's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: trying to accomplish or whatever, that probably his actions are
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: much much more consistent than they seem. Once you have
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that kind of through line to them all, but from
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: where I sit, and I didn't really like get into
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: this last episode because I was trying to just cover
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the plot beats and stuff. But I genuinely didn't know
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: what to make of the fact that he is evidently
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: here and working for well, working for as strong with
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: apparently this Caesar clown character. It's like Trafalgar is somebody
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that has confused me from day one, you know. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he helped get Loofy up out of there, which made
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: me feel like he was maybe a decent guy. But
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: now he is ruling I keep using words that are
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: way too strong. Now he is in league with somebody
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: who is kidnapping children. And I feel as if the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: response that he has to seeing everybody who is trying
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to exit the building is genuine surprised, Like it feels
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for me as if he didn't know the kids were there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if I'm giving him too much credit.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: If it's really more that he didn't expect for them
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to be out here blowing up his spot when he
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: tried to claim that he was alone in the building.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It may be as simple as that, you know. It
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: may just be that he felt like really awkward about
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, But there was something I just don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: see how Caesar Clown manages to keep the secret from him.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Trafalgar Law is somebody who I would expect if he
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is involved with a person in to the degree that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: he is trying to keep this whole place, and Caesar
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Clown himself a secret, which is what it seems like
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: he is trying to do, if that's on his agenda,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I don't understand how he could possibly not know, you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It feels like it has to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: be this is something that he is in on, but
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I don't I would not have pegged him as somebody
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: who would go in with an ally on something this sketchy.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I just feel I betrayed as a very that's much
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: much too dramatic a word, but I guess I feel
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit unnerved at the fact that I thought
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I understood a little bit more what his deal was,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and evidently I'm just super wrong about that. Or what's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: going on with the children isn't as terrible as it
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: seems to be. And it's sort of weird, you guys,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because like that's really where I'm starting to come down
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is like, maybe this whole thing seems really sinister, like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: collecting these children, allegedly lying to them about the fact
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that they are in trouble, that they're sick, and perhaps
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I have just been coming in really hot with my
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: suspicions and he isn't like up to the terrible sounding
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: things that I'm worried about human experimentation, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I have to assume that. Look, I'm making a lot
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of assumptions here, and I recognize that it doesn't make
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a ton of sense that I'm coming in with these thoughts,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but I just want to make it clear to all
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of you guys. I am sort of like judging on
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the way that I would think a conversation would actually go.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's the right way to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: approach this, because the show people don't behave the way
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that real people behave a lot of the time. You know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they have sort of strange assumptions that they make, or
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they approach asking questions from a weird angle, and I'm like,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you're just kind of skipping right past the most important part.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But my feeling when we came into this room with
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: all these children and I saw that we had all
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: different sizes of kids, and that we are clearly in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a place where there is weird experimentation going on. My
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: assumption instantly was these kids are different sizes because of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: something that was done to them by these people who
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: are experimenting on them. And I still think that seems likely.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But the problem is with this that we are in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a universe here where actually people being a wild array
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of different sizes isn't unheard of. We've got human beings
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: who are seven times the size of the people standing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: next to them or more. You know. Right here, we've
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: got this brown beard dude who is towering over other guys.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So I sort of stopped him. Was like, am I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: certain that these kids are different sizes due to some
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: nefarious experimentation or is it simply that they are different
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: size is based on who their parents are and that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: was a naturally occurring thing. And it's just strange to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: see them all in the same place because we aren't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: used to it. We're used to seeing the different sizes
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: as adults, but not as children. Now. Again, like I said,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the context clues make me feel like it has got
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to be its experimentation. Like that, I just don't really
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: believe my own argument on this one, you know what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But also I can't help but like want
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: there to be an explanation about the giant and normal
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: sized people in this universe that logic of their actually
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: being giant children. It makes sense, actually, But my issue,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: as always is I don't know how much Oda gives
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a shit about things making sense. There are times where
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it seems important to him and he explains things, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: then there are times where I'm just like, I just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: don't get the impression that this was ever something that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he worried about, that was on his mind at all.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's just something that you're meant to accept and move
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: forward and not think about too much because you'll drive
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: yourself crazy. And I genuinely you, guys, I just don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: know if these children are being experimented on. What Trafalgar
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Law could be doing here is like, I just have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a really hard time imagining that somebody like Caesar Clown
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: is out here doing the right thing and helping children,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: because I'm judging right on looks, the dude is a giant,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: weird black flame, which isn't totally comforting. I don't like
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to admit that I'm going on appearances here, but I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: can't help but think the dude has very much the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: look of a villain. I just didn't think Trafalgar Law
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was as much of a villain. I felt like he
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was one of those guys who's sort of opportunistic, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he would do something shady in the moment because it's convenient,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but not necessarily set out to do the shady thing,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Like he isn't somebody who's out here making plans that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: feel really exploitative or anything. And so the cartwheels that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I am doing, in other words, to try and make
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this make sense, I fully acknowledge that this is not
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: me using a lot of logic here. It's just me
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: thinking that I understood the general vibe of a character
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and realizing maybe I'm just super wrong about that, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: if I am, fine. I mean, it's not like I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: so in love with Trafalgar Law as a character that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: if I find out he is a bad man, I'll
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: be crushed. You know. There are certain characters where I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: would feel that way, and he is just not that important.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: But in the context of everything that we have seen,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: with the way that he has helped Loofy in the past.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: His presence here, I feel should have been been more
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of a shock to me than it was. I was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: very like, oh, yeah, this guy is here in the moment,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and when I stopped to consider it, I was like, actually,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that's sort of wild. Why am I not more thrown
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: by this? So anyway, I just wanted to address all
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of that out of the gate, because this next three
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: episodes have a lot to do with your fagar law.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: So we start off three eighty five with him on
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the front steps and he is facing off with Smoker
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and Tashigi and I love it so much. He is
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: trying to tell them that since y'all abandoned this place,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you Marines, actually this spot I've decided to make into
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: my vacation home. So I don't understand why y'all are
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: so mad that I'm here. If this place wasn't important
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: enough for y'all to continue to, you know, monitor and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: lay claim to, I don't see how I'm not allowed
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to be here. It's like up for grabs basically, which
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: honestly does kind of make some sense. I can't disagree completely,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: but the idea that this is just his vacation home,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: like that you would make this place, of all places
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: your vacation home is very very funny to me, Like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: it's just such a goofy explanation, and I was definitely like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: this is the best you can do, my guy. So,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: as I said earlier, pretty shortly, you have this thing
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: happening where he is standing there trying to argue that
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they should go to stop like bothering harassed. It's like
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: very much like this is police harassment kind of moment.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But he hears the kids coming up behind him and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they're yelling, and I love that he starts to get
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like the sweat on his brow as he's realizing that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: his whole spot's about to be blown up. And in
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the end, guys, and I'm jumping ahead a little bit here,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: but in the end, all of the straw hats who
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: were in the building they make it to the like
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: open door, and there is a very long moment of
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: all the straw hats pausing and looking around at the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: people here and naming them each one by one and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: then turning to look at the children and being like, hey,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's go a different way. And none
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of the people standing there makes any move to stop
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: them because they're evidently so surprised by the presence of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: these guys. And it was actually quite funny to me
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: because they just roll up and look around and go
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: oh nah, and then just bail and disappear. And I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: was very like, come on, y'all, couldn't have made any
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: move at all, do something? What the fuck was that?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It was very pitiful in my opinion. But like I said,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself, because there's a whole thing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to talk about with what's going on inside this building.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They're having their a little back and forth, and Nammy
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Chopper and the kids are still running down the hallway
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with Frankie and Sanji and the like the fight that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: ended earlier, Frankie and Sanji were fighting these half sheep
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: guys who looked very much like Mary, the dude that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: gave them the ship the going Mary. I have asked
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a lot what is up with the strange part human,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: part animal creatures that have shown up in this story
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: from the get go. It has felt really weird from
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: day one, right, But I also once again kind of
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: just felt like this is something Oda just doesn't want
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to explain. He's just gonna have part animal people. Probably
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the type of animal they are is meant to indicate
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: some of what their personality is. Like, you know, we've
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: got this dude who's like sheep like ram like, and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: he is a servant who is who does what he
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is told and is sort of meek. And then we
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: have the guy who's like getting in there with our
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: along and taking bribes and he looks like a rat
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: because that is what we're doing with him. So I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: was just like, fine, sure, why don't we just take
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: these at face value as sort of symbolism and not
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: literally what's going on with these like half human half
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: animal mutant people? But then these guys that they're fighting
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: seem so particularly like Mary, that I got kind of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: confused for a second and was like, is this supposed
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to be thinking of them? Here? Is
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this supposed to be ringing the bell for me? I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: don't know. So that fight, like they they're just finishing
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it when Nammy reaches this door and it's locked, but
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Chopper manages to bang it open and they make so
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: much noise doing it that Soanjy and Frankie here and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: are like, Okay, we really need to catch up with
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: these guys and the kids because Sonji, as he puts it,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: if Nammy is declaring her love for me, I need
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to be there and I love that. There's this long
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: pause as Frankie just stares at him and then goes anyway.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So the place that they end up, they open the door,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and it is very much giving walk in freezer, like
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the way that the door is all metal and seems
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: pretty heavy duty. It's blown open and it's like dark
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: inside and very cold. It really was like, are you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: guys gonna go in there and cry about the mean
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: customer that you just had? Because I think that's what
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: this room is meant for. There was a sign if
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you haven't worked in food service, I'm sure that you
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: have something that was sort of equivalent, but food service.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The walk in is where you go and you're like
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: either really pissed and you need to punch something, or
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you are extremely upset and you need somewhere private to cry,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and you can't get to like a bathroom because that's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: too far. You have to take a really short moment
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to go in back, get your cry out, and go
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: back up front. There's no time for like a full
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: on bathroom break. And I mean, I can't count the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: number of times I have gone into a walk in
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to cry. And also one time I went in and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I punched the wall and I was so furious that day,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and I punched the wall and I came out from
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: in back and it was like weirdly quiet, and there
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: were customers sort of wandering but like with furtive glances
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in our direction, and my colleague Nichole, who was behind
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the counter waiting for me to come back, was looking
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: at me really weird, and I was like what. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: didn't feel like I should be getting this look unless
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they knew I had been back there punching walls, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't know that. And she was like, what did
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you just do? And I said, I went back there
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and repeatedly punched the walk in freezer on the inside wall.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And she was like, oh, because we could hear it
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: out here. That pounding sound was like echoing through the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: whole cafe. Everybody heard it, and I was just so like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: oh God, even my private moment of rage wasn't really private.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But anyway, what we find out is that there are
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: people frozen in these walls. I have no theories on this.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: The people that are frozen in here are all in
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: like black and white stripes, like prisoner like jumpsuit sort
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of things. And I can't tell if it's supposed to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: be that they are esteeped prisoners from somewhere else that
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: we're wearing this uniform, like I keep thinking about impelled down,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: or if it's just that sort of cartoon language where
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: these people were prisoners of this place and we're given
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the black and white jump shoots or jumpsuits. The way
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that you would do with any you know, just the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: shorthand for oh, these people are prisoners is to put
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: them in black and white jumpsuits, even if that really
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel necessary to the location, you know what I'm saying.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And I didn't. I was looking at the faces as
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the camera sort of pans around, and I didn't recognize
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: anybody in particular. All of the faces are grimacing in
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a way that seems quite aggressive. But I'm not sure
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: if it's just that they felt pain when they were
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: being covered in ice, if this is something that like,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: were they dead already? Are they alive? There's also a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: giant dude underneath that's got a really aged face, sort
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of longish hair and like a mustache, and he is
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: underneath the floor, right under Chopper's feet, and that dude
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is absolutely huge. So understandably, the kids are just sort
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of like, yeah, we would really like to not go
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: through there, actually, but the like it's really the only
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: way out that they can think of, because one of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the kids recognizes that we came through this way when
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: they took me, so it's a guarantee that where they're
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: heading there's an exit and they aren't going to turn
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: back just because of this, which, on the one hand,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I do respect, and on the other hand, I'm just like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, maybe don't. We have a brief
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: moment back with Soanji and Frankie where there's like an
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: argument with this disembodied head. He's ordering Sonji around and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Sonji is trying to act like I don't want to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: put up with this anymore, but Frankie's like, well, then
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: why did you bring him? You could have just left
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the head behind. Eventually they carry him off. It's kind
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of a nothing scene. So let me go over to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: brown Beard and you know, we've got the straw hats
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that are trying to cross this weird lake sea. We
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: find out that it is like at actual seawater, which
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is bad news for Loofy. Also, the fact that it's
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: seawater means that there are sharks in here because the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: water just like poured in from outside. So yeah, that
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: is unfortunate. But I was h when I first saw
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: brown Beard. You guys, he looked familiar to me. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I also there are a lot of designs in this
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: universe that can feel sort of similar to each other,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and I really didn't think much of it. And it
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: isn't until he says, oh my god, I recognize Loofy.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I know this dude that I was like, oh, okay,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: so I was right about that. I did not trust
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: my eyes on that at all. I really thought like, well,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he's just got such a sort of I don't want
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to say generic, that's not at all, but he's got
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: such a traditional, sort of like pirate look to him
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that I just thought, for sure, Okay, what we're getting
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: here is a dude who is designed to look kind
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of like the Platonic ideal of a pirate, and maybe
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: ODA goes back to that here and there, and so
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: he looks familiar because this general energy of a design
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: is something that is returned too often. But no, he
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: is familiar with Loofy and actually starts to realize a
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: little bit too late into this encounter that he should
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: not have started this ship because he is not ready.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We'll go back to Brook very briefly. Brooke is like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he winds up the situation. He winds up catching back
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: up with the rest of his friends. Well, I say,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the rest of them, just the straw hats that are
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: like out on the water right now, because he has
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: run away from the samurai and it seems has gotten
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: closer to that lake. But the samurai is like, it's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: just his torso. Brooke is running from him. Eventually he
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: stops and is like, well, all right, fine, I will
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: face you. And he turns around. The torso isn't there,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and then he sees it like rolling past, and it
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: just tumbles down the hill into the I think into
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the ocean. It's unclear. He definitely is heading towards the water.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But Brooke just sort of after having finally stopped and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: been like, you know what, I am gonna handle this, dude.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: It was very funny that it's taken completely out of
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: his hands. Also, I had forgotten to mention the last time,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: even though I am kind of like frustrated with the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: fact that I'm meant to be like, Brooks seems so
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: worried about this guy coming at him, even though I've
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: seen brooks head literally chopped off and it didn't phase
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: him one bit. But one thing that I thought was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: fun that I forgot to mention is that he is
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: very indignant because this torso he is interpreting as being
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a ghost, and so Brooke is very much like, we're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: both undead. We should be on the same side. I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: can't believe that you would come at me with this
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: sort of energy. This is really rude, Like, please, sir,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of camaraderie with me. We are
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: in this together. And I did think that was very funny,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: this sort of like this assumption of us being on
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the same side here, like brook for what reason would
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you ever think this is anyway? Okay, okay, So I
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: have to pick up the pace here because I'm like
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: half an hour in and I haven't even really quite
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: gotten past the first episode of the three. But I've
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: talked about a lot of it sort of in bits
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and pieces already. But I forgot about the fact that
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: when they come out of the tunnel behind Trafalgar Law
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that uh loofy can't resist being like, oh to she
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: looking good. I was just like, oh my god. So
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: when they turn around and bail Trafalgar Law is just like,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know these people were here. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: if you guys aren't going to leave this alone, y'all
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: are trying to come in here and track them down,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to do what I have to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: do to stop you. And this is when Trafalgar does
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: his thing where he creates that dome. I have a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: very hard time keeping track of the powers that people have,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: so this is something where it feels almost like, isn't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: that a little bit too much power? Because he is
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: able to basically like create a space in which he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: controls literally everything, and that is awfully op I'm just saying.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And so we get to see that again and it
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: was just good refresher for me because I had forgotten
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember if we had known about the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: fact that he could like slice up into pieces. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: completely if we did know this had put it out
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of my mind. And so that explains how the heart
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: is still beating later when he spoiler alert he winds
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: up taking Smoker's heart. All the pieces that he has divided,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: like the samurai in those are still alive and functioning
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and talking and moving aroun. So I should have kind
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of realized that if he cuts out parts, they're all
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: still going to function. It's not going to be the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: way it would be if you actually cut parts out
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of somebody. It's the whole way that this works is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that you're really dividing them up. But that's the only effect,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like it has any impact on
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: their health or life at all. But I feel like
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: potentially it could, and that it's just this step doesn't.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: But he takes your heart and is holding it with
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the implicit threat I could do anything I want to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: this and that's the end of your life. So wherever
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you are, I have ultimate control over you. Not in
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a way that like he is able to body control
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: him or anything, but he has leverage, you know. So yeah,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: this is a very terrifying thing that, like I said,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't remember having seen from him before, but it
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: may just be that I forgot uh. And he has
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to do his like very impressive thing where after the dome,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he like lifts everything, including their ship into the air,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and I just felt so bad for them because this
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is just unfair. We're trying to get them to leave
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: this place. And then he's like, well, if you can't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: leave because you have seen shit that you're gonna report
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: back on, I guess I may as well just make
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it so that you have no way to get off
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of this island. And Tashigi is like, all right, well,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going in on this. I'm gonna fucking fight this guy,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and Smoker tries to tell her you are not up
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: for it. I'm sorry, girl, I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And this is me ad libbing here, but this is
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the vibe I get from him. It's just like, I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: know what he's capable of and you are just not
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: at his level. I don't want you to get hurt,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: so please don't start some shit that you can't finish.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: But she does not listen to him, And I said
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: last episode that I was kind of not really feeling
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Tashigi too much, and I was not totally sure where
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that was coming from. I felt like, is it that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: she her voice actress isn't really giving you know, or
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: is it the character herself, and I still haven't really decided,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: but this moment for me was one where I really
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: was sort of doubling down on like, Okay, yeah, she's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: annoying because the fact that she is so ready to fight.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I understand that this is actually true to a lot
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: of characters that we have seen translate a lot of
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: male characters, because there are so few women fighters in
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: this world, and especially in like actual weapon fighters. There
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: are women who fight, but they don't often they have
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: like devil fruit powers. Oftentimes they're not people who are
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: sword fighting like this. But the fact that she just
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: utterly ignores Smoker and goes in like this, I was
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: just sort of like, girl, are you fucking She is
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: somebody who has sort of painted a lot of the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: time as I thought anyway, really focused on her duty.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: And if he is telling her don't do something, I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: would expect that she would listen to him because I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: thought that she respected the hierarchy a little bit more.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: And so the fact that she just totally ignores him
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: here and goes in for it, I was like, this
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: man just floated your entire battleship in mid air above
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: your head. Do you really think that you're gonna jump
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: into this situation and actually have an effect on him really, Like,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: there's the man could toss you forty feet into the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: air like he just did with a you know, four
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: thousand ton ship, probably more than that. And it just
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like she's using her head. That's all I'm saying.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: But we'll get there in a minute. So let's go
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: back to Loofy and his friends. Brown Beard like before
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: he has realized who Loofy is, he decides that he's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: going to target this boat instead of targeting the guys
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: because all of them are managing to defend themselves and
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: slice things in half and you know, stop things before
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: they reach them. Lufy inflates himself to I think it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: cannonballs or gunfire that he stops, but regardless, they wind
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: up in the water and they are freezing and we
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: see these sharks here and oos Up is just like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: what the fuck? And uh. Then we have the brown
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Beard says all right, now meet your maker, and they
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: have all of these their guns kind of but they're
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: not they're like cannons. They're like hand cannons really, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: these dudes are pointing and they are about to pull
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the trigger and all of a sudden, ice forms over
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the barrels and the guns backfire and knock these dudes out,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and Brooke appears and says, ah, the cold comes from
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the underworld like an icy blade. So it was Brook's
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: ability he managed to like freeze up the gun barrels.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I am just really delighted with Brooks abilities and the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: change up that has happened with him. Everybody has leveled up, obviously,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: everybody is able to do some things that are new
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and very helpful and exciting, but there are some that
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I find more exciting than others, And like for me,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Namis and Oosops aren't as exciting. I They're just kind of,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, pretty similar to what they
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: had been able to do, but just more exaggerated, I
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: suppose extreme. But like Chopper is able to do some
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: genuinely new stuff, so that's really fun, and Brooke as well.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling like Frankie is also one that's like he
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: is able to do bonker shit now, but he's always
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: been a and so it just feels like he is
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: doing extra and it's not that brand new. Movie is
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: also exciting because it's the combo of like different powers
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: with his gum Gum power, but also the Hockey, which
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is brand brand new and super powerful. So you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: depending on who it is that we're dealing with, it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: not as impressive the leveling up in terms of my
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: excitement when I see the power. It's like they're still
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: quite useful and they're doing something that is impressive objectively,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: but because of what they had been able to accomplish before,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: it's not as surprising. And now I'm just sort of
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: like into a couple of our characters in particular and
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: seeing what they can do. So yeah, Brooke delightful, very
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: much enjoying this like cold thing that he has going on,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and he tells the brown Beard like they need to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: not pull those triggers again because the guns like backfired
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: but they didn't fully explode, and they will if they
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: try that shit. So Brooke then is like alone on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the shore with brown Beard and his other dudes are
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: down for the count. They're not like dead, but they
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are knocked out and they start to get to their
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: feet and be like, oh, well, we'll deal with you,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and Brooke is able to like deal with them with
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: almost without missing a step, you know. So these he
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I think there's like thirty of them, maybe, and all
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of these guys go down, and brown Beard is just like,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: hold on a second, there's another. I can't believe that
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I missed one. I thought the other guys had gotten
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: eaten by the sharks. You're too late anyway, and he
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: points and then he goes, wait, hold on, and he
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: looks and the sharks are all just floating on the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: surface because somebody beat the shit out of them, and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: our friends are on the shore and they are freezing
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: their tails off. They are all soaked. It's snowing and
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: blowing wind all through the scene, so they are really
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: starting to be like, we're gonna die if we don't
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: do something shortly, which is when they begin to pick
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: out who amongst brown Beard's crew they are going to
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: take out, because they need their fucking overcoats and whatnot
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: in order to survive. And I really do enjoy them
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: all picking who they're going to take from, like they're
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: in a little shop. And this is when brown Beard
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: recognizes and it's just like, ah shit, this guy has
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a huge bounty. I shouldn't have started this, And all
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of the centaurs are just like, oh my God, he's
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: gonna kill us all. And they turn and they start
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: to leave, and Robin uses her power to hold all
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of them in place. And I did feel kind of
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: bad for them in a way because, like, even though
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: they're the antagonists to our people right now, it seems
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: like they're looking for a swordsman because there's a legit
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: grievance there and they just made a mistake. And I,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's an honest mistake. I could see looking
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: at Zoro with three swords that he's carrying and being
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: like that man is a swordsman, he is a samurai.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the look on Broan Beard's face when he
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: realizes his mistake, he just yells, please don't hurt me.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: And I was like, ah, dude, have a little dignity.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: So going back inside the building, we have the kids
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: running in the opposite direction with the rest of the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: straw hats here, and I should mention that there is
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: like a conversation that's been happening inside the like with
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Caesar Clown. He is talking to first Trafalgar Law about
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: making sure that they don't see anything, and then eventually
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: he finds out that they saw all of the children
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and is going, all right, Well, that's our The jig
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: is up. You know, that is completely over. Now we
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: are going to have to figure out a whole new
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: way to deal with this problem. And the bird Woman
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: is here and she says that she is going to
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: deal with it, but I have no idea how she can.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: She seems quite confident, and Caesar Clown seems to have
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: faith in her as well, but we really haven't seen
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: what she can do. So I am curious, like what
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: her deal is because we've had mostly centaurs showing up
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and her having wings is a bit of a departure
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: from that, So I don't know what that's going to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: you know, what she's going to be able to pull
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: out of her what if they say, pull out of
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: her hat? I guess. Meanwhile, up at the front, Trafalgar
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Law is trying to slow everything down by using his
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: room power again, and he sends forward this ring that
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: wraps around all of our people, and then he uses
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: his sword and jams it forward in a way that
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: looked to me like he was going to actually, like
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: injure them. But it doesn't, he says, then shambles and
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: all of our friends wind up switching bodies, not the children.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it seems like it's only the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: straw hats. And I do really mostly enjoy when we
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: get this sort of like body switching storyline and stuff,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: because it's very fun to see characters that you've gotten
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: to know really well behaving totally differently than what you expected.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: But though, of course, sour point for this is Soanjy
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: who takes Nami's body and is fully intending to not
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: respect her at all by stripping and taking photos of
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: himself and then keeping them, which you know, always we've
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: got to put something really unfortunate in there to make
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: this deeply uncomfortable. So I don't really know what it
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: is that Law was wanting to accomplish by doing this.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it's fun, but it's not
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: something that feels like a weapon exactly. Maybe the point
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: is that if I put them in bodies that they
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: aren't familiar with, they won't be able to make the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: best you use of their powers because they aren't going to,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: like you know, remember what those powers are, maybe not
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: even know yet because they've not shown each other everything
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that they can do. I don't know. It just it
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that felt sort of compared to what we know Law
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: is capable of, that was a weird text to take
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: with them when I feel like you could just levitate
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: this stuff in the room to drop in front of
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: them so that they can't keep moving forward at all,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and then deal with them at your leisure because they're
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: trapped in that space. So yeah, I don't really know
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: what it is he's trying to do, and the fact
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't just go with like I'm gonna attempt
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to kill them does make me kind of again feel
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like maybe he's not such a bad guy. But I
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I genuinely I don't know. I don't know what to
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: think of this dude. So as like when we go
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: back outside, he has like taken the ship and cut
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: it into pieces, and he's also cut like blocks of
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: ice from the glaciers, and somebody yells he's turned our
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: ship into abstract art, which I thought was such a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: funny line, just like this dude is out here a soldier,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: but also like I gotta admit that is pretty much art.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: That's kind of dope. So this is when he uses
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: scan and he draws this sort of line across them
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that turns everything a slightly blue and yanks away their
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: transponder snails so that none of them are able to communicate.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: And I thought that that was like, if you can
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: do that, take their weapons as well. This is the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: problem with having powers that are so incredibly like high power,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: is that I then can I can't quite understand why
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't use them to do a million other things
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that would be to me more to the point in
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the moment, you know what I'm saying. But anyway, Yeah,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: he tells them like, well, this way you won't be
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: able to tell the government what is going on. And
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Smoker finally is like, all right, you know what, You've
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: pushed it too far. I know you're a warlord, but
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I am going to fucking deal with you. And he's you, guys,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Smoker is a really fun, weird dude, but in this
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: scene he is I wish, even though I love his
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: power and although he's super hot, I wish Smoker had
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit more like personality. I guess he's I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: don't know, there's something kind of rye about him, but
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: he is telling all of his dudes like to just
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: watch out because he can do anything with you he wants.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: If you are inside this dome and you aren't going
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: to be able to stand up to him at all.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: This is when Tashigi goes in with her like to
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: fight and ignores him, and then we go into the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: next and final episode of these where Tashigi is on
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the ground like he makes quite short work of her,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and she wants him to kill her. It seems like
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: she she has been cut in half, so her bottom
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: half is still standing off to the side, but her
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: top half is on the ground, and she has a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: very similar reaction to this that the samurai did, which
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: is essentially like you couldn't just let me die honorably.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You had to humiliate me like this, Like why can't
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you just finish it? This is such a fucked up
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: way to deal with an enemy. And valgar Law's response
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: is basically like, you are a joke. You're acting like
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you're a fucking master and you're not. And if I
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: have to teach you a lesson this way, that's what
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, because honor is something that you earn,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: it is not something that you sit down there and
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: beg for, which is a pretty brutal line. Actually I
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: liked it. Weaklings like you don't get to choose where
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: they die. Ugh, I love it. I love it like
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: it's not I don't love it because like don't I
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: don't hate to see ye so much that I just
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: want her to die. I've just sort of realized that
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I don't enjoy her as much as I want to.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: But it just like weaklings don't get to desert, don't
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: get to decide where they die, is actually kind of
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: deeply true in a way that I hadn't considered. So
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: she like again tries to come at him just as
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a torso, and I was like, girl, what do you
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: even think you're going to manage to do? And he
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: is about to like level a blow at her and
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: gets interrupted by Chopper or Chopper Smoker with his weird
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: weapon that I'm not sure. It's like a double bleeded
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: kind of weird. I don't even know what to call
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: this thing because it's sort of like a halbard. I
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: guess I am. It's like a pike, but it's got
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: it forks at the end in a way that's reminiscent
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: of a trident, but that's got three Thus try so
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: is this a duo dent when it's just two prongs?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Smoker is saying to him, like, all right,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: if you want to play like this, then let's do this.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: And for a second he does seem to like get
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: the drop on him because he's turning into Smoke and
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: it makes him impossible to actually like hit. He has
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Trafalgar by the throat and has him on the ground,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and he almost manages to take his head off, and
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the two of them like go at it for a
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: little bit here. But like I said, in the end,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: it does not go well for Smoker because his heart
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: is removed in a tidy little cube and just tossed
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: from hand to hand in the most casual and demeaning
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: way by Trafalgar. So the centaurs are getting back to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: their feet on the other side of the island with
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: their clothes gone, and he's friends, they're all tucked up
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: in not just coats, but they've also got like ear
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: muffs and stuff. It's kind of great. And Loofy is
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: riding on brown Beard's shoulders and making him like bring them,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: which is kind of genius. He calls him a weird name.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: He calls him like Crocosaur, something like that. Hold on,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: let me see where it because I think it'll say
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: in the crocataur, you still don't want to tell me
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: where the rest of my crew is at. And he says,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: keep dreaming, but you're not. You're not gonna get a
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: word out of me. And Lufy says, well, well, where
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: are they? We got to get to that big building
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: before somebody gets hurt. And he says, like me or
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: my crew you robbed. You're nothing but a bunch of thugs.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: And I was just like, dude, you go. You came
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: out here just like agro Af instantly, which Zoro is
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: he's very quick to point out. He's like, we were
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: just trying to sail across the lake and you guys
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: decided to try and sink our boat and accuse us
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: of shit we didn't have anything to do with. And
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that they have utilized him as a transportation device,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: like I said, I think this is genius. I just
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: absolutely love this. It didn't even occur to me to
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: handle it this way. And it is like the idea
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: of having this guy with them when things get straightened
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: out is probably great because they'll have a really big,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: scary dude to throw in with them against whoever it
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: is that they are going to face. Perhaps even he
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: will recognize some of the children, like I don't know,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: although he will probably see the samurai and then start
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: to have his issues thinking that somehow the straw Hats
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: are indeed in league with a samurai. So maybe that's bad.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyway, uh sorry. We have that
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: moment with Caesar klown talking to the bird Woman, the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Green bird Woman, and they I can't remember what her
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: name is because it came up at one point, but yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: she says, like, I know who our other friends here are.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: They took out the Dragon and Brownbeard's unit. The people
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: that you kidnapped weren't their only crew members, just the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: only crew members on the ship. The rest had already
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: set off to the Burning Lands. They've since crossed the lake.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Imagine they'll be here any minute now. And oh, Monee,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: that's her name. Money. At least we know who we're
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: dealing with, you see, there's no doubting it's them. And
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: she holds up a newspaper with all their faces and
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: their bounties under it. But she seems genuinely like, you
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: don't recognize these guys because all that Caesar Klowan says
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: is yeah, those faces are the same faces, I guess,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: and she's just like, yeah, they're super famous. I can't
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: believe that you haven't heard of them before. They're always
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: out here fucking with the government, which, you know, considering
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: our standing with them, could work for us, but I
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: feel like they're not gonna throw in with us. What
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: we need to do is set them up to look
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: like whatever we've been up to here is actually their
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: doing and their plan. So yeah, a perfect excuse to
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: wipe out both groups of troublemakers and shift the blame.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: We may keep our secrets yet, uh. And one of
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: the guys by the door in those hazmat suits, it's like, yeah,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: but I don't understand. And if we wipe out the Marines,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: then won't HQ just send more to try and figure
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: out what happened? And Caesar clowns says not if we
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: control the narrative in advance and I know someone who
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: can help, And then he just starts laughing, and it's
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: like the thing he says is call Joker, And I'm
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: just like, wait, really are we doing that? Are we
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: having another character that's named after this, like name the
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: same thing as an incredibly famous pop culture comic book character.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: But I guess. And when she puts her glasses on Monette,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: she's got those sort of spirals in them that are
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that you see in like comics
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: or not comics and cartoons where the lenses spin and
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: they wind up like hypnotizing somebody. And I'm not sure
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: if that it's like intended to be what she's going
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: to do with those glasses, or if it's supposed to
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: just be like a sort of style choice, maybe metaphor
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: for the situation that they are in with controlling people
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know, I don't know. So
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: they finally find a way, all of the kids, Nammy,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: they all manage to get this to this other exit
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and they are out in the snow, and like I predicted,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the kids are in like underclothed and NAMMY's still in
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: a bathing suit top. Like the situation is not great
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: for them weather wise. They are in a bad spot
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: where if they don't find somewhere to shelter quick, they
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: are going to freeze. Meanwhile, there is so much noise
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: going on with the fight between Smoker and Uh and
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Trafalgar that everybody can hear it, and
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: even Movie from the other side of the island is
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: wondering if these are his people making all of this racket.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Ta She Meanwhile, she's watching the fight and she has
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: a moment of remembering that Smoker once told her all
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the warlords are really just pirates, and pirates don't fucking change.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: So I don't care if they are allegedly on our
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: side or not, Like they're going to do what's good
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: for them always and don't ever think that we are.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: So that makes a lot more sense in terms of
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: the reaction that they got when they showed up, because
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: last episode I was sort of like, why is Smoker's
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: crew so afraid of Trafalgar Law when the warlords and
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the Marines are supposed to be on the same side,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: And probably Smoker has instilled this understanding in his crew
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: as well. That just be that, like, these dudes aren't
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: people that you can trust are going to have your
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: back at any given moment. Unless you know the whole situation,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: you can't judge what they're going to do next. And
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: so in the midst of the fight with him and Trafalgar,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: he keeps asking him like, what is it that you're
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: even after here. He's trying to understand Law's motivation the
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: same way that I am, because he thinks that it's
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: going to help, like you know, I think, help him
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: figure out how to approach this problem, and potentially in
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: his mind, I'm sure if he beats Trafalgar, then he'll
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: be able to plan his next move based on that.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: So let's see, oh right, And then the flashback to
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Smoker talking to her about how everybody's going to be
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: looking for the straw Hats. I'm putting my pride on
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: the line here. I swear I will crush them in
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: the New World, and to she says, it's not enough
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to just hope to be the best. If we want
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to fight pirates in the New World, we need true conviction.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: There's no room for mercy on this battlefield, not anymore.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't really understand this because it's never felt to
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: me like there was much mercy to begin with. Like
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: the straw Hats and the occasional person that like they
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: run into that decides to join their crew, or who
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: is like a regular human being and not super powerful.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Those are the only people that we've ever seen show mercy.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: And I don't remember if there's something that she's referencing
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: where she showed mercy earlier that I'm forgetting. But for me,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: it just was like stating something that we already knew
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: and was being demonstrated right now as we saw all
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: of them, you know, fighting each other. So I'm trying
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: to get to the part at the end where he
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: actually takes his heart because the way he does it
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: is so interesting. He's like utilizing a lot of different
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: he being Falgar, He's got like, you know, the the
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: cubes of ice that he's dropping, pieces of the ship
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: that he's cutting off and like throwing at Smoker, and
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: then eventually he gets to this point where he's just
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: yanking spears of rock up through the ground and sort
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: of like trying to impale him, and Smoker reminder can
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: actually turn into Smoke. So I thought that this was
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: a weird approach because it never hits like this man
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: is made out of an insubstantial material and so trying
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: to actually hit him feels fruitless because he can just
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: turn into anything. But it works. For some reason. He
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: manages to get like Smoker in the gut in such
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: a way that Smoker is actually immobilized on a spike
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: of rock, And I don't get how this can be
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: done to him. If his whole thing is turning into smoke,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: why doesn't he just turn to smoke from there? This
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: was like I thought the whole point of his power
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: was a certain thing, and then despite that, he is
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: able to be defeated using a kind of weapon that
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: should work on almost anybody. I'd say defeated. He's not
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: entirely defeated, but you know what I'm saying, he's like immobilized.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: He tries to come at Law with his feet like
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: up through the ground, which I thought was very funny.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: But it's like a weird moment of it seeming to
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: have have actually stopped him in place. So he gets
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: out of it. And I just is it that he
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: wanted to like let Law think that this had worked.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Was he trying to lull him into a fall sense
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: of security? Like, I just don't understand it. Meanwhile, I
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: shouldn't mention that Trafalgler a lot doesn't know what the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: fuck Smoker is doing here either, so he is asking
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: him the same questions in a lot of ways that
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Smoker is asking of Trafalgar, of just like, well, what
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing here? What are you after? Even?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: And then we finally have the moment where he says,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: if you want to get to the bottom of something,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: then you've got to broaden your horizons or you'll miss
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: the truth and he uses scalpel and Smoker has just
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: sort of over stretched himself in a strike aimed at
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Trafalgar and left his whole front open, and like I said,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I guess he just didn't see the strike coming and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: so he didn't turn himself to smoke in time. Like
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: I guess, the way his power works is that it's
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: not that he is smoke all the time. It's that
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: he can turn spots to smoke if he sees a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: blow coming, and if he doesn't, then it behaves like
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: a regular strike on a regular person. Is that what
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: it is? Because otherwise taking his heart, I don't really
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: know how that could have worked either. But yeah, it's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: in this little cube of ice, and Law is just like, yeah,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: thanks for this, all right, well, and it's beating in
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: his hand and he says, you can beg but I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: don't have to tell you a damn thing, and Smoker
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: just drops to the ground and I'm confused again because
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: when he cuts people into pieces, they're still functioning, right,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: They're still like moving around the separate pieces, and the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: heart is still beating in his hand. But when the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Smoker goes down, it seems like the taking of his
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: heart has rendered him unconscious, and I don't really know
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: how that can be when the rest of the body
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: parts are still like fine. Maybe it's just the dramatic
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: ending of the episode, and like next episode Smoker will
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: get right back up again and still be able to
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: move around and do things. I don't know, But the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: episode ends with him collapsing and Law just standing over
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: him with his heart beating in his hand. So so yeah,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: pretty intense, all right, guys, Well I have to wrap
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: this one up. Thank you again so much for listening.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you to Florian for commissioning this one, and until
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: next time to the Loo motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled
• 1:03:21
