Yo, what's up everyone at Santa mac Here from anime op roar and welcome
to a brand new episode of The One Piece Virgin. This one has been
a long time coming because we got to cover like fourteen different chapters. But
basically due to the beginning of a new arc, we wanted to give it
some time, and then we got some scheduling issues that gotten away, so
that's why it's taken this long. But don't worry. We've been planning to
do this for a long time and now we'll be talking about the new arc,
the Egghead Island Arc sometimes called the Future Island Arc. A ton of
things happened. First and foremost, Vega Punk was revealed multiple times actually because
of howe was real and it's just crazy. We got a connections between Vega
Punk and Dragon and Clover from O'Hara. We got CP zero trying to assassinate
Vega Punk. We got the Straw Hats trying to protect him. We got
the revealed that a former member of the Rocks Pirates has just returned as a
clone. There is some crazy stuff went on and I don't even think we
covered that. Lelucia the Kingdom Lelucia was destroyed by a massive weapon of mass
destruction controlled by EMU. Summa, Let's let's slow that. Let's slow that.
Bro dude Animax literally like, can we get much or he didn't even
introduce like me and goes in. He just got right into it. He's
so excited to be back, tugs and go and still happens when we didn't,
when we didn't talk so much about it. It just starts like coming
out like raizer. You can't control it. You're just like the one piece
hype train cannot be stopped. I must say, like I liked Wanna it
was. It was good. It was something I didn't like about it.
But right now I am falling back in love with one piece with these last
fourteen or so. Even get that statement falling back in love with one piece,
because that implies falling out of love with one piece, you know what
I mean? I like, I don't know. It wasn't addicted to reading
it weekly. I was taking breaks and then binging it and and enjoying it
versus when I'm adicted like the way I am now that I have to read
the chatter the next chapter because I'm like, I'm like I really invested in
this. I wasn't. I wasn't as invested in in the want O arc
because I feel like I wasn't connected with um Tido of the villain. Yeah,
and we keep during this arc. This is like a revelatory arc in
the sense that we just met Vega Punk and he's revealing a bunch of information
that we've been waiting for for years and years. Wanda was. We got
some reveals there, of course, but most of it was like fighting chapters
or Wanna specific stuff. But now we're learning so much about the world,
about the Void century and technology in this world. And you know, every
chapter in the new chapter, like raw leaks just dropped and there's gonna be
massive revelations in chapter oney seventy three. So it's like, bro, it
just never ends. I think that's a great point. Like now we're at
least me like I loved the world of One Piece. I love the mystery
of One Piece, and we're finally get getting given some of that. So
now I'm right hopping back in and like this it's absorbing. We get all
wanting to wanting to hear it all. Yeah, the way I was talking
to it about Briggs yesterday or when we did the anime version, was that
everything is popping off right now. It's not like every the world is standing
still while like our main characters are doing another arc and then we'll figure out
what they did later. It's like, no, everything is coming to a
head right now. We got we got Garp going after Blackbeard, who's fighting
Law who kidnapped Cody, like Kobe. It's like crazy ass shit, while
Lufy and his friends are also going on insane the battles and adventure. There's
like a whole world conflict going on because, as I said, EMU destroyed
Lelucia with a mysterious ancient weapon that looks like a planet that just like rains
destruction on top of something. And many are speculating that this could be the
ancient weapon Uranus, because Uranus is the personification of the sky in Greek mythology,
so you know, and also that's in this was like this is what
you were just actually is the ancient weapon and EMU controls it, which is
definitely possible. Yet I think it has to be some type of ancient weapon.
I believe that has to be something big, like you can't just be
like, oh, random thing that appears right, and it's like one person's
devil fruit or something. I guess it's possible, but it's yeah, like
if it's a devil fruit, has to be like an insane awakened devil fruit
god tire, it's an ancient weapon, like he has to be one of
those two things. I think it's enters mighting down a planet from the food.
I just think it's so crazy. How like they don't just say we
destroyed a planet. We're like, yo, it never existed like that.
Shit is fucking crazy. The Kingdom of Lulucia, Bro, what are you
talking about? It makes for amazing villains when they're like, yo, we're
not just gonna beat you, We're gonna make it like you never existed.
Like that's it's it's very Orwellian, right, Yeah, that's the very government
way of doing that. I love the mind game world government way of doing
things. I should say, exactly right the first time, and so yeah,
so we had all of those things and then al Saboy is presumed dead
for like the third time, we had um Blackbeard attacking Boa trying to take
her devil fruit. Yeah, let's start with that. So we had,
so basically all the chichi bukai were disbanded. We already knew this. We
saw that Buggy and Mehawk and um what's his name Crocodile kind of had their
little cross killed thing. That's hilarious. I love it. But the world
government's going after the Chocho shichio bukai right now and they're attacking Is it Amazon
Lily that's the island. Yeah, it was Amazon Lily, So they attacked
it. And the goal was for Blackbeard to steal Bola's fruit because he can.
He has the ability to steal doll fruits because he wants the power of
being able to like turn to stone on anyone who loves it. Yeah,
it's an overpowered ability. But would he be able to use it properly since
he's an ugly fucker? Yea. So people were saying that maybe he knows
something that we don't. Maybe it's actually depends on the users. So for
Boa, because she's so attractive, finding her attractive urns you just don't.
But maybe for Blackbeard, if he makes you angry or provokes you, Yeah,
but it's like then he could do that. It's like the love Love
fruit isn't or something like that. What if the fruit also makes you really
really hot? Imagine? I mean, did that would make you mean?
Did we know if she was good looking when she was younger or she always
she did she always have the fruit? I think she was. I feel
her sister's got some noggins on them, bro, her sister's got some heads
on them, and she just didn't get that. I think it was the
love love fruit that made her that shrunk her head, that love fruit.
So it would be weird if like it just becomes angry. So you're saying
Blackbeard, if he ate it, he would become like a giga chad like
ripped eight pack, making guys lust over him and stigma male face. I
mean that would create, like solve the problem of like the main big antagonist
being like a fat boa got the fruit as a teenage slave. Yes,
that that makes sense. I remember, I don't didn't fish your talent and
all that. Why can't villains be fat goes in? I don't know.
I've just used to shawan and villains like looking fat phobic, bro, Like,
I don't get it. I've used the shan and villains looking cool like
kind of Cory or something, and then you're just not like this. People
can't be cool. Yeah, I mean I don't know, I don't if
you're a black Beard and gloodinous nature and today's climate, I maybe I shouldn't
say this, but I'm just saying, like, yeah, it's a cooler
when dude's like ripped than when he's fat. Yeah, disagree. Have you
met Chris Farley, bro, Like, look at Zoro. We would not
think he's as cool if he was some fat dude. So you're saying gin
Bait isn't cool, not as cool a Zoro? Okay, Well not everyone
has to be Zoro bro. No. Yeah, so that's just what I
was pointing out. Like, but I love Blackbird. I think it's fascinating.
I do think along it looks more badass than than Jim Bay. I
don't think he is more badass and Jim Bay, but I do think he
looks more badass. I think something about being round versus being sharp is like
a key, like a distinct figure in like in like in looking cool versus
bad Blackbeard, and I'm I agree. I think it works really well for
Blackbeard. And you don't want these random atic it's he learned that with the
Cross Gild, we'll learned that Buggy becoming an emperor. Yeah, was actually
an accident because most of the work was done by Mehawk and Crocodile, but
because Buggy stands were the ones who came up with the poster, they like
put Buggy front and center, and then the World Government interpreted the poster saying
that Buggy is the one who united Mehawk and Crocodile into his guild, so
he was the one who became an emperor and Mehawk and that we're not happy
about it initially, but then Mehaw was like, you know what, we
don't want that heat on us anyway, so let Buggy beat the was that
in this in this amount of chapter? No, that wasn't that was in
the last chapter, but still was worth mentioning things. Yeah, but it
kind of brings us to You'm almost certain that we didn't discuss this yet.
We only learned about the Cross Guild last time, but we didn't know how
the Cross Guild came to be. Okay, fair enough, I thought we
just I thought it. I don't think it's included in one fifty nine through
forward. Well, then find it and then when you see you wrong.
You can say, yeah, no harm, no harmon recovering it anyways,
because it's just insane stuff. But yeah, it kind of it implies to
right now, why why Amazon Lily being attacked into it? So there was
Kobe, there, there was Blackbeard, there was um Um Rayley fucking bluffs
them off, the like bluffs the scenario into like a little bit of a
little bit in of a like a ceasefire. But we noticed that there's like
this came back. There's like a smaller version of Boa right there that's like
super powerful. And obviously we now know it's like another pacifist Sarah Fhim thing
um where they basically clone the current Chichi Bue guy and they're they're like they're
they're burring and getting stronger opjeans too, like from lunarians and stuff like,
yeah, yeah, that's absolutely not That's why they don't need they don't need
the system anymore, is because they're literally being replaced with themselves but better.
Yeah, exactly, So I found that too, And I just want to
say, like again, the idea of putting bounties on fucking admirals and the
Navy is fucking amazing. That's one of my favorite twists in the entire series.
Gigantic brain and crocodile is just sick, Mihawk is sick. Buggy is
always entertaining. But that idea, especially given the current climate in the world,
because right now a bunch of countries are rebelling against the world, you
know, which the revolutionaries are of course leading, So a bunch of countries
are rebelling. There to them, the revolutionaries are heroes and the world government
and the Marines are villains. So then coming up with bounties for the marines
and admirals saying you're right, they are villains and that's why they they should
have bounties on their heads, because they're criminals. It just works so well
with that current climate. Yep, yeah, well I agree, And I
think it also divides people because let's say someone didn't even want to go after
them, didn't care, all of a sudden there's about high bounty on submarine.
They're like, oh, might as well collected, So it puts them
on their toes even more. It works so perfectly considering how out of balance
the world is right now, Like there's there's it's hard had mooned power struggles
between the Revolutionary army and the world government Vega Punk right now, and whose
side he's going to be going on? All the pirates and the emperors and
all all the world, Like all this shit's going down, is all this
power struggle. And now they're like, all right, we're giving We're giving
the Marines bounties. Like that's just so fucking cool to me. Yeah,
and it really reflects how the world government is losing control now exactly. It's
exciting, all right. So be our straw hat crew closes in on an
island and they are greeted with the first Vega Punk and I laughed out loud.
I'm like, of course, fucking Vega Punk. Bega punks the hot
woman before finding out like obviously we see zero zero two on her chest.
Zero two on her chest. My apologies, but I just fucking I'm like,
of course, Vega Vega Punk is a young, young, attractive woman.
It just made me laugh. Our first introduction that was that was my
opinion too. I thought it was just like her and I rolled with it.
But um, people were quick to point out in the common section like
yeah, bro, it says zero two, And then that did give you
a clue that there were more Yeah, yeah, And honestly, um,
I don't. I don't know how I feel about the whole Vega Punk reveal
because I kind of liked the idea of him being like a hot woman who
maybe like came on android in order to like preserve her youth or something like
that. Like I thought that was something like an interesting twist. But then
he ended up being like a very stereotypical, like Einstein inspired scientist, only
way goofier than I expected, because I thought he would be like this like
badass character, but he's just like this super goofy guy with an elongated head.
Didn't he ate like eat the brain brain fruit? Yes, he did.
I feel like that that was like bigger as he gets a bunch of
information and then he can extract that information and put it elsewhere, and then
his head gets small. So is it the fruit that allows him to endlessly
learn information and like consume information and like it. But his brain kept on
growing and growing. It's part of the powers. He now came to the
conclusion that he did he chop up his not chop up his brain, but
basically he separated him himself into like all these different versions of himself and then
at the end of every day, like everything that they learned and experience gets
like brought back to a main hub. So and I think the concept is
really interesting. Um, basically he created the cloud and interest. Yeah,
I don't know. I feel like something about the brain brain brain fit him
having it was just like, ah, I agree, Yeah, I agree
with I don't know, I don't know how to describe my feelings towards it,
but I wasn't in love. I agree with animac And yeah, I
think it's not a cool design, but with all that I'm used to it
and the fact that they gave us like six satellites also gives you like,
Okay, well I don't like this design, but the Daft Punk one is
cool, like the Lilith one is cool, So you can pick and choose,
so that kind of made it better. But yeah, I agree,
Like obviously that huge head standing next to dragon wasn't like cool. Yeah,
and like all of the all of the satellite designs were cooler than the final
model. Would you know, the final reveal, which you were expecting to
be the most interesting one, right, Yeah, but it's classic one piece
though, Like obviously we often have goofy characters. You know, like that
that happen? Is it one piece? Oh? I know, I know,
but I can Yeah, I was still expecting someone more badass. So
did we get to find out Lufy's like dream here, or the crew found
out Lufy's actual dream or like why he wants to fire King but didn't but
we didn't. So the crew has been on a journey with him for this
long and they never knew. That's fucked. I think our tour from Labrue
O'Hara has a point when he says that the dream could be to have like
the world's greatest party that everyone is invited to, and it's going to require
kind of tearing down the red line and creating the old Blue in order to
have everyone partying together. There definitely will be a I feel like I eat
as much as you want kind of aspect to it, like unlimited food aspect
to it. Yeah, I doubt that. I doubt that's his like main
goal. I don't. Well, like, it's not to be the Pirate
King. We know that being in the Pirate King would just be a step
towards his means has to be something more. The way people like laugh at
it makes me think that, yeah, it could be like a party all
you could eat stuff like that. Another part of me thinks they say it's
impossible. Another part of me thinks, maybe, like everyone comes together,
including like you know, the Marines, the former Marines, the pirates,
like all borders sort of cease cease to exist, the hatred and stuff like
that. Yeah, I could see his dream being tied to him being completely
free and him making everyone completely free, because it sounds impossible as fuck,
right, Like he wants everyone to be completely free to kind of do what
they want to live their life whatever. Um, But I don't know if
it was. It's like, oh, I want everyone to have a great,
big party. There has to be a laughter portion of it, you
know, because like I think, like if like throwing in something like all
you could eat meats or something like would just be perfect for Loofy and but
Lucy doesn't share his meat. He wants all them, Yeah, but he
wants he wants all the meat for himself, and he wants everyone to have
as much meat as they want. Yeah, everyone should be able to eat
their full right. I think he's even said that before. I think it
has something to do with world peace. But I wonder what the laughable part.
His dream does not sound Vegan friendly, I'll tell you that much.
Yeah, because like if you just said world peace and people were like,
oh you kill me, lufy, it's like a bit much, you know.
I want to crash the moon to the Earth and become the god of
the new worlds. Never mind, that's so funny. He's like, never
into girls, but his dream is like, I want to sleep with every
wife who in the show until I become the pirate Kike. But uh.
We learned from a flashback from an Oharror flashback that Vega Punk knows Dragon.
In fact, Dragon asked him to join the revolutionaries early on when they were
just starting up, and Vagabunk was like nah because he didn't believe they really
had the numbers to do anything. They also both knew Clover from Ohara and
respected him greatly, so much so that they paid a visit to Ohara after
the Buster called to kind of pay their respects. We then learned that Jaguard
Saul survived yeah the Ohara getting frozen on Ahara, which again emphasizes the fact
that Kuzon is one hundred percent not a villain because not only did he spare
Lufie and Robin in the past, he also ended up sparing Saul. Saul
then saved a bunch of books from Ohara, which the librarians there sacrifice their
lives to protend. Let's just respect that too, Like how these guys as
a final stand, everyone thought, you know, they were just murdered helplessly,
but no, as a final stand, they actually saved all the books
as they were dying, which is which is so fucking cool and show so
much. They didn't save all the books where they saved some of them,
and then Saul took them and he went to Elbaf with them, so we
know that Saul is alive, and then he's aid Albath and that he has
that secret knowledge that the world government tried to destroy. Vega Punk then went
to Elbaf, met with Saul personally and read all the books. So now
Vega Punk has all that knowledge. And we haven't gotten a lot of reveals
about the knowledge itself, but we did get the reveal that the ancient kingdom
from the Void's century was more technologically advanced than even the present time, so
that modern technology that you see is often actually based on the Ancient Kingdoms technology,
even though that was eight hundred years ago. This is something we've all
been kind of assuming or speculating about, but it was directly confirmed by Vega
Punk in this arc. That's a pretty crazy mind fuck because Vegapunk so smart,
he has the brain brain fruit, and he still doesn't how they made
it work like the Yeah, so that makes me think, Yeah, was
thinking if this ancient game that was so advanced, like literally a thousand years
ahead compared to what we have now, how did it fall? How was
it defeated? You know? Yeah, it's very interesting. So the reason
why he couldn't figure out the robots, he couldn't he can't figure out like
what energy source it's using? Is that what it was? Yeah, it
used an energy source. That was like, hm, that's interesting. But
you know what often happens with those situations like when people team up on one
team, like like an attack on Titan, Like there's like there's usually the
possibility of like a traitor within, you know, or or perhaps like like
it's fucking full attack on Titan and and there's a situation where they're like,
yo, we haven't been using this power correctly, Like let's just let's screw
ourselves at work kind of thing. Yeah, and of a lot of people
were speculating that maybe the source of the power could be really joy Boy into
sun God fruit Nika and that they haven't been able to tap into the power
source because the Nika food hasn't awakened in all this time, right, that
would be that's possible. That's that's hard to believe, and would he and
in theory, Lufy would be setting everyone free or setting a lot of people
free if you were able to like create if never ending energy energy. But
I don't believe it because then he dies and like everyone just loses energy,
Like doesn't make sense. That would be hilarious if it's like Lufy's dream is
to create the ultimate energy source. It's like, bro, you're not a
scientist what it means to an end um? But yeah, no, at
the end of the day, like there's there's devil fruits in this world.
Hockey is like a huge thing. I feel like when someone gets to Lufy's
strength, even if he's going up against like a like something super technic tech,
think a lot of technologically advanced, like I could see the kingdom falling
when you have all these other like or or whatever, the one advanced tank
kingdom versus all these other kingdoms like grouping up on grouping up on it that
potentially have like very strong hockey powers and devil fruits. There was internal there's
something internal, there's way. I think it's a good idea. That's the
only thing we don't We don't know what type. We don't know if they
if um. At the time, the enemy kingdoms were also using the advanced
technology and they just like want I don't think so, because like it's kind
of implied that like they were, they had a monopoly. M Following from
these reveals, we also had Vega Punk asking straw Hats to take him with
them, essentially you know, joining the crew at least temporarily, which was
a huge crazy thing in the community because we now know that the World government
is not happy with Vega Punk, and in fact they've dispatched cpzero to go
to Regkind Island and assassinate him. M In in order to help them,
they got some of the Passifistas, the new Pasifistas, and also we got
who and Lucci Rob Lucci's Back and Stussy Buckingham Stussy Bro. Yeah, that
show was crazy. I don't know if you want to take that step by
step or if if we want to just go all over the place. But
before we jump into that, I do want to say that it was twenty
kingdoms that allied potentially with ancient weapons. Okay, now we can move on.
Yeah, the ancient weapons part is definitely could be an important factor,
but I don't think they'd have like access to all the technology that No,
I don't think that access to all of the technology makes I'm just saying it
was a different time they probably had. Makes sense that the ancient weapon was
weapons were used by the ancient kingdom because the world government has been looking for
them but hasn't been able to find them, right, and the pontoglyphs talk
about them, So that means if the pontoglyphs were created by the ancient Kingdom,
then clearly them talking about the ancient weapons. And the fact that there's
pnuclists in places of the world government doesn't know about them and they don't know
where the weapons are, it suggests that the ancient weapons were used by the
ancient Kingdom. But if Emu has uranus, then it's possible that maybe Emu
was a trader who took urin us away from the Ancient Kingdom and exactly like
that. Yeah, I like, like I was saying, I feel like
it very very rarely. Is it that like one side has all the chips?
That never happens in war, you know. Yeah, it's just that
if you look at where is Pluton, it's with the Fishmen on Fishman Islands,
so not a World Government stronghold. If you look at um where is
what's the other one is the one on Wana Pluton. Yeah, so Pluton
is on Wuano, which is not aligned with the World Government. It was
deliberately isolated from the world after the Ancient Kingdom and the Void's entry. So
that suggests that the ancient weapons are being kept from the World Government on purpose
by the Ancient Kingdom or remnants of the ancient Kingdom. Yeah, that makes
sense. I think that's fair. But currently you think that we potentially think
that they have your uranus or uranus whatever grown on mine got my anus man
m Yeah, So that's that's potentially it, And I think that's interesting.
I think that's an interesting idea about EMU like betraying that than possibly being from
that time period, Like it's crazy, but it goes with Emu's mystery and
build up at another thing. We don't know why Joe Joey Boy apologize to
Poseidon and the Mermaid Princess at that time, presumably because he didn't fulfill his
was to bring them to the surface, but that could probably be because he
lost the war, right, Yeah, that's true. Man, there's so
much we're learning. I love it. Okay, so chat's making fun of
me. They're they're saying, Briggs, do you remember who Miss bucking is?
Not even a little bit? Oh you don't remember who's that? Um?
Remember we Evil? No white Beard so called son and one of them,
remember we will the guy who claims to be the son of white Beard.
Well he has a mother, got it? And that's Miss Bucking Yeah,
Miss buck Yeah, she's like an old, small, old woman.
So she confirmed to be the the lady from Rocks Pirates or no. I
think it is, Like, it's pretty clear. I did see stuff online
like suggesting it. I just didn't know if there was any proof about it.
Yeah. I think it's basically given that she is actually the original Buckingham
Stuffy that she was a member of the Rocks Pirates and she was cloned and
now her clone is the one with the vampire power. But that's the fucking
crazy thing. Then then it would make perfect sense for when they were on
the crew together, especially if she looked like that, for her and white
Beard to have sex and then wevill to be born, Like it makes is
black Beard white Beard child? Yeah? If if this is a clone,
that this is how she looked like, yeah, they could totally be the
case. Yeah. I mean it is such an out a thing, like
to create this joke or it's like, there's no way your white Beard son,
you pose her as fuck It's like, oh no, he was actually
his son, Yeah, exactly, while he had all these all these people
and his truth that he calls children but his actual one child neglected one pieces
like that. Yeah. Yeah, But I do like the fact this is
hinting the fact that we have like the reveal of another Rocks pirate, and
that they actually are returning to the story, at least as a clone.
I think that is suggesting that we might get more about Rocks and his pirate
soon, which is such a major mystery in the story that's linked to God
Valley and to so many other things. So I think this is a good
sign that we might be getting like a God Valley flashback. Yeah, I
agree. Like the rock stuff, it has been thrown in so often that
like, I really think we need like something more concrete soon for sure.
How did you guys like the fight between between Lucci and Lufy. It was
just fun for me, Like, it wasn't anything crazy. It was just
like Lufy having fun. It was cool seeing awakened Lucci and obviously Spas.
Obviously it was never a doubt in my mind that Lufi would come out on
top and that Lucci wouldn't stop him, so that was the only thing.
But they make up for that for the fact that now Stussy seems to be
going to take out Cocku and Lucci and be stronger, and then we'll see
what happens. I feel the same way because it was never there was never
a point in time that I thought that Lucci could beat Lufi at this point
now that he has Gear five. But it was just like a fun,
kind of nostalgic thing of Lucci coming back showing off an awakened devil fruit,
which is always cool to see. But yeah, I always knew that Lufi
would be stronger and the real twist now has been Stussy turning on Cocu and
Lucci and the why because like, yeah, is she not even on the
marine side or does she just use them as as weapons to get stronger?
Like it's it's definitely why was she cloned? How is the clone different from
the original. Is there someone connected to the Rocks pirates actually still pulling the
strings and plotting something or are they just remnants now doing their own things?
She's secretly a black Beard pirate because of black Beards tied to wanting to be
like the modern day Rocks. Like, I don't know, but interesting stuff,
yeah, yeah, very interesting stuff. I must say. I love
watching Loofy fight in this new form, Like he's always like there's been times
where he has a smile on his face and he fights, but like it's
like a perpetual one now and he looks like, I don't know, it
just suits him so well, I feel like it you gotta go ahead.
It's like your Elmer Fudd fighting Bucks Bucks Bunny, Like you're not gonna win.
How crazy would it be if we come to the point though, where
once like even in that form, like some guy's pissing him off so much
that he can't smile, Like that's when shit's gonna go down. Oh yeah,
that'll be a badass moment for sure. I did really like seeing um
be a wake wakened version of of the own type though even Cock Cooper right,
that was so funny and awakened Giraffe, Yeah, that was a badass
man. Bro, you don't mess with a draft, That's that's the thing.
I'm glad that that they didn't take that too seriously because Oda quickly kind
of like as soon as he shoulders awakening, Oda's like, yo, don't
worry, He's not the main villain. Zora will fight Stussy is gonna take
him out real quick. I'm glad that they did that because even though it
was awakened, it's like, bro, awakened draft is not gonna fucking do
anything to Zoro. I always found it like not annoying, but just like
maybe a little bit how quickly the entire crew put on those like boots,
Like I understand lufy putting on the boots and falling right into a trap where
like oh like now you can't move whatever, likely like you're in an advanced
place, but watching all these other people put on the boots. I don't
know. I love that focus that like my nude focus on boots. Yeah,
it bothers me. It bothers me a little bit because like, obviously
the crew is strong and they're very confident in their abilities, but like you're
not so dumb to just I don't know completely, like it ended up working
out vegapunks on their side, leaning towards their side. But it's like if
if the Vega vegapunk wasn't, you're just falling into a trap. If it
makes you feel better, It'll just assumed that Hockey could like destroy the boots,
you know, if they really Zoro, I think Zoro, Zoro and
Sangi would definitely be able to break out if they really wanted to. Yeah,
I feel like a Rockey Rolls could destroy them. Zoro stayed in the
boat, right, Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. Zoro
is the one that might not have put it on it if he was there.
Yeah he didn't. I don't think he did if he was they were
even, Yeah, he didn't because he's although the style, the style of
it looked really cool, I didn't. I didn't enjoy the outfits in film
Red. I appreciated that. Zoro like, oh, we're going to UTA's
concert. She's like the sidle and they're old fan boys, and Zoro's like,
I don't go a fuck bro, I'm only here because I have to
be watch Red. Yeah, but go ahead. When fighting breaks out,
Zoro's like, finally something fun to do, right. I like that they
like they made everyone else like a fast I got super fan boy, but
like they didn't break Zoro's character for it. No, it's perfect and and
he stands out even more because but I'm just wondering, like is it too
much concert music focus or is film Red like amazing? It's okay, I
think it's amazing, but do you think it's good? I think it's worth
a watch. It's it's fun. It's a fun watch. It's not going
to like give you any crazy reveals per se or anything like that, because
it's the it's a movie, but it is worth watching. Yeah, That's
one thing that I'll always be lacking with one piece movies, because one thing
that we all love is the world and the mystery and the reveals, and
you can't really like, even if it's cannon, they're not gonna like release
like really cool important information in a movie, right, Yeah, until they
start doing like what Demon Sarah did and just do an arc in a movie
and stuff. Yeah, I know. I don't think One Piece will ever
do that. Although weirdly enough, they apparently revealed and like a special booklet
that they were giving out at the movie like information about One Piece. They
revealed that Shanks was found as a baby on god Valley by Roger, which
is huge. Yeah, which is a massive Well that's interesting bit of information
and it was only revealed apparently in this like extra material that people got when
they went to watch the movie in Japan. Old. That's so dumb in
my opinion. It's it's like a little clue that you could not hear and
still enjoy like the real veal in the manga. But I mean it's definitely
pays off for hardcore fans when they're like, yo, this game changer was
just revealed. This isn't as long as we also get the revealed in the
manga, we will, I think, like, yeah, yeah, it's
gonna be revealed, the traces Lasteel Dragon. At the end of the day,
the movie has some great music, some badass moments, and I do
enjoy. I do enjoy the characters. I'm not gonna explain anything, but
yeah, there's there's something definitely cool cool moments. I was doing some research
for like the Demon Slayer movie, and I'm pretty sure like film Red got
into the top like ten or twenty already of Japanese box office bestsellers, so
it didn't like get close to Demon Slayer, but still like it was the
best for like it was the second best for a shown in series releasing a
movie. Yeah, I mean auto making money. Yeah, it's so it's
the most best selling movie one piece movie to date. Dude, what the
hell is going on with Kuma right now? Yeah, it's a good point.
You know, I heard a theory in the comments section, which is
that of Vega Punk put like the spirit of that ancient robot or something into
into Kuma, and his real memories and spirit are obviously in that in that
bubble that we saw that Bonnie is approaching to touch, so like that that
obviously doesn't have to be true, but it's just a thought because he seems
to be like the robot, like just mindlessly going towards that specific destination.
Yeah, so Bonnie revealed that Kuma as her father, yeah, which wasn't
crazy, and that he was not any sort of tyrant or anything like that,
that he was a good king and that you know, everything people were
saying about him is wrong. We know he joined the revolutionaries, he was
one of the founding members, and then he started turning into a cyborg for
whatever reason, and Vega Punk did experiments on him. Bonnie blames Vega Punk.
She believes that it was Vega Punk's doing, in the world government's doing,
that they destroyed her father. However, it's more likely that Kuma cooperated
with them for whatever reason. Now what is that reason? Is it?
Something like his memory was backed up on the cloud by Vega Punk and he
used his body as a vessel for something else like goals, and like he
were suggesting. You know, I think something along those lines is guaranteed.
Like didn't Vegapunk even say like that the human souls like twenty one grams anything
in theories and he and Kuma has the soul soul fruit or something along those
I don't remember exactly what it's called. Um And we know there's no way
that that fucking thing is actually just pain, like a bubble of pain.
No, it's not. I would love to see the color. I would
love to see the color of it. Bonnie caught up, caught on right
away. At the I think at the minimum, it's all of his human
memories, um and potentially even his soul. I agree, minimum, And
then I think it's an interesting theory that it's like, what what is the
soul? Is it our memories? Like you know, like that that kind
of question might be raised as well, like philosophically, and what it was
it? What was replaced with? But he has just so you guys know,
it's it's called the pop off fruit. But but the idea is it
could pour shout anything even ideas. Guarantee you Bonnie is going to touch the
bubble and that's how we are going to get the flashback. Yeah, that's
what I thought that, that's what I'm expecting. That makes sense. Yeah,
I wonder I wonder if he did something with like you said, the
theory with the robot of like the of previous technology of the whatever the lass
A civilization. I'm curious about that. That's an interesting theory. Yeah,
it did sand to me. And the Kuma flashback is obviously going to be
essentially a Revolutionaries flashback, right, So that's gonna be really interesting. Yeah,
Revolutionary stuff is always like interesting right now every time we get a bit
of Dragon. Uh, you know, I I fanboy fanboy hard. So
is what is happening with Kuma right now? The present? Like him kind
of clammed in my mind? That's the present. So basically Vega Punk removed
all of his memories. He slowly, Yeah, he slowly lost his humanity
over time and became like a pure technology. Um he was working at Marajoa
or being held as a slave and being used by the Celestial dragons. The
Revolutionary Army rescued him, and now he just went berserk and is climbing the
red line, going back towards the celestial dragons. What the hell is going
I agree, that's a good question. Mission so as you have some kind
of mission he was programmed to do or you know what is going on?
Yeah, that was a slap in the face to Dragon when like they rescued
him, and I was like fucking rescued and I was like, oh I'm
going back. You know, they risk so much to literally infiltrate the reverie
and rescue it. Yeah, and which is I don't know. It seems
kind of stupid to me that he didn't tell, like, at least Dragon
what what his plan with bag A Punk was. But I don't know.
Well, I guess that should be explained later on, but it would be
some reason. Yeah, but if Vega Punk who's a friend of Dragon,
and Kuma are in a plan, like why not just tell Dragon? You
know? Sure, so we'll see the Kuma. The Kuma storyline is being
peeled slowly apart, and I feel like it's going to get explained fairly soon.
It Bonnie being one like with the straw Hats now and being such an
important part of story is intentional and it's all going to be connected. Yeah.
I also wanted to say that the Stussy clone idea raises questions as to
who else could be a clone um, which which could lead to obviously unsubstantiated
but theories of like some of our main characters actually being clones of other characters,
which which even if if not true, is interesting to think about,
like why is Loofy the new joy Boy or why does he have so many
similarities with with the Pirate King Goldie Rogers even having the same dream that everyone
laughs at uh zoro, Why does he look so familiar to some ancestors and
then we're told like he's not He's not the sun. Is it just an
ancestor thing or is it a clone thing? Like there's a lot of interesting
ideas that can that can come from that. Yeah, and there's also you
know, could this explain Emu Samat being immortal because he keeps cloning himself,
um in order to keep ruling the world government something like that. Um Joquista
says, we will is a clone of white beerle I don't think so,
because they've looked very different. Yeah, I don't think that's the case,
because it just really really makes sense. It was a bad clone, No,
but it really makes sense for him to be an actual son because of
the fact that Stussy was young, why Beard was young. They were on
this famous crew and it's just a legendary beginning. But he better delivered because
so far he hasn't delivered on his like legendary legendary parents. Or maybe don't
or maybe don't underestimate peach Beard. I think peach Beard is gonna. I
think Whitebeard rejected Stussy black Beard Sigma. I think white Beard rejected Stussy and
this Sigma mailed know you and then STUSSI now is like this this kid,
this kid is totally white Beard's son. M M. I don't know if
she if she was as hot as the Stussy that we see now, I
don't know why would white Beard rejector I don't know. I think goes In
would go Buckingham on that stuff. You know what I'm saying, Yeah,
damn it, that's true. And that's the end of the podcast. Let's
go. I'm proud of that ending. If that's how we ended, I'm
proud of that. That was a good ending. Now, that was a
good joke. No, I laughed my thought Stussy. To be honest,
I'm so mature, dude. I'm interested because like, why does does he
have vampire ye power? I'm glad you brought that up. Is that a
devil fruit power? Is it like a mythical zone model vampire? Right?
Here's the interesting here's the thing for me. I think it could be a
mythical mythical zone. And I think that dide of clones just like other humans,
because even Vagapunk was talking about like, yeah, these clones are pretty
much human, I think. And she was the first which implies there's more,
but I think it shows that, yeah, like the clones can can
eat devil fruits. But also you're right, in the cloning process they may
have like added some powers, maybe copied fruit powers rather than the actual fruit
original fruit. Who knows. It's confusing now because with the new Pussy Feast,
does um like with the yeah they used the fruit powers exactly. They
Yeah, they were able to clone, like you said, lunarian powers and
devil fruit powers and stuff like that. So it's like, yeah, now
it's becoming very uh confusing in terms of you know, if you can clone
people and you can give them all these different powers and create artificial people,
and it's like where does it end and where did it begin? And how
is it all going to fit into the story? No? Very true.
Yeah, that's that's what I've been thinking about. And would it even be
what would it be? Would it be a vampire one? Would it be
a sucubus as a lot of people are saying, as that would go well,
that would go well with the Animac comment about like she can suck you
dry, and then Animax just goes quiet. So which which clone? Which
are which one the Pacifistas was able to like swim through the ground. Do
you remember, Yeah, the gym bay one, the Gym Bay one.
Yeah, I power from our boy, Senior Pink, Senior Pink. Yeah,
it's the fucking that is also brilliant. I keep forgetting that, Like
we haven't talked about this for so long. Yeah, that was another thing
that stood out to me, Like, bro, imagine the only thing a
fish fish like a fishman is missing is being able to use his op powers
on land. And with that fruit, it's fucking perfect, Like he can
literally use the fishman powers everywhere. It's it's so crazy. Yeah, And
that made the potential of these clones is if I recall correctly, Brank he
got upset because he thought them and they killed Senior Pink in or to steal
his double fruit. But then he was confirmed that no, they didn't exactly,
so Stacy, we can't even confirm that that this is like an actual
fruit and not artificial fruit. Yeah, that's why I brought it up.
I'm like, from all we know, if Stacy's a clone, all of
these attributes can be like taken him from certain individuals throughout the world. You
know, Like if we know that these different races exist, they can apply
those genetics to her. She doesn't even need to be that Like, especially
could be a normal fucking blonde chick and then now she has wings and vampire,
so we will's actual mother the original Stussy may not have the same powers
that. But I also want to say that one of the things that I'm
really looking forward to, and I think that Old is definitely gonna do before
Zoro eventually takes on me Hawk is fight the Pacifist to me Hawk. I
think that's gonna be milestone at some point. Now, if it's sooner or
later, I don't know, but I think before he fights the real Mehawk,
he's gonna beat that one. I didn't even think of that. I
think that would be an epic battle. Yeah, or the previous the Pacifist
and me Hawk kills me Hawk. That would be too much, man,
And then Zoro has to be I can't even entertain that because I respect me
Hawk so fucking much. Bro Zoro already dropped his pride for his captain because
like, he put his dream second for that moment, and now, like
and Mihawk trained him, I feel like a fight between Zoro and Mihawk.
However, like I do want it and I think it'd be cool, I
feel like it just doesn't have the same the same weight as it once did.
Zoro, though a hundred percent, don't think Zoro will let let his
feeling for me Hawk like get in the way of him being number one swordsman.
I think Lufi is a special thing, but he'll definitely like he has
respect for me Hawk, and he might not even like kill him. He
might do like a like a giving a shot that would take him out like
when Mehawk has initially beat him, but not like kill him for sure.
I don't think one hundred percent like they could have a duel without murdering each
other. I'm just saying the duel has less weight for me or I care
about it a little bit less now considering their their relatively unfriendly terms, And
like I get what you madly and literally it was literally one trained the other.
You know that doesn't Zoro doesn't have to hate me Hawk for him to
have ambition and to challenge him. But I do think it's a little bit
less. I could really see me Hop being killed and then someone else becoming
the greatest swords of win No but no Mehawks that he would hold the spot
though fuck, I don't know. I could just see like Zoro beating this
pass. Here's the thing though, that here passes. Keep in mind,
though, Mihak also says, like he focused on in their first meeting that
a true swordgeant could tell who would win before they fight. So maybe Zoro
will do some insane shit and it would be like like Shanks recognizing Lufy being
a good pirate. He'll be like Zoro, You've surpassed me. Maybe it
will be kind of one of those situations rather than a duel. I could
see these Pacifists as becoming so over the top crazy powerful that they surpass all
the originals and are some of the strongest beings on the planet. And they're
growing. Said, so, I think, without a doubt in my mind,
this Pascifist is gonna surpass Mehawk. I mean to in reply to what
you just said. If Zoro beats like the ultimate me Hawk, other me
Hawk would have to acknowledge his skill and realize, wow, like he surpassed
me. Yeah. I don't love it, but I don't think it's a
It would be like terrible, But I just I can't think of a.
I can't think of another way for them to do it. I don't want
anyone to put dirt on me Huwk though, you know what I mean?
Yeah, even more so than Shanks, because I feel like Shanks is going
to get destroyed by black Beard. I do think that will happen eventually.
I think that's that's just been foreshadowed. It's gonna happen. But uh,
me Hawk, for some reason, I just don't want. I want to
be me hunk Osan. Do you ship there cool Mehuk and Buckingham Stussy?
No, well, I mean she's hot like the Clone. The Clone's hot,
so I mean it would it would be a good match because they're like
vampire esque. But no, like I don't think the actual characters would get
along. It's all about me Hawk and aesthetically, yes, though aesthetically they
look good feel So wait, do we know anything about Mihawk yet? Has
Mihak devil fruit? Why are his eyes like that? If we don't know
why those eyes? That's a very interesting thing because different races are mentioned all
the time, like the vampires, and they even said that that Kuma is
a different race we don't know of yet, So I have no idea which
right now. I came up with the theory Mehawk the vampire, but Emu
has the same eyes, right, so there seems to be um, there
seems to be something with those eyes, something special. Meehawk is a different
race slash potentially vampire. I mean, we know, how do we know
Emu's eyes? I don't remember that that was the big fucking reveal. Bro.
Yeah, look at the eyes. They're very similar to mehawks. It's
just they were red rather than yellow. How significant that is? I have
no idea like Dracula Acuola be hawk. Yeah, I mean hopefully everybody got
that. I think that's why annam mac was stuck. Yeah. Yeah,
but I didn't expect it to be like an actual race thing, but now
it really could be. Yeah, we'll see. I mean there's a lot
of interesting things, a lot of loose ends, like for example, Perona
and me Hawk and like, yeah, he's got the aesthetic for it with
like the pale white skin. He's a fucking cross looking sword like he's like
riding on a coffin throughout the the ocean. And if you know, vampires
are supposed to be very like the originals are supposed to be very cultured,
very polite society kind of images. Like, yeah, the original Dracula was
a aristocrat, right exactly, and Mehawk has that going for him as well,
So I do think yeah, sorry, no, I was just gonna
say, I do think, uh, it's it's related. Will he go
so far as to make him a vampire? I don't know, but everything
else is heavily taken from the Dracula character. And yeah, the original novel,
it's like inspired by that, Like he even had like I saw he
had like a candle with like a coffin boat as he was like going to
the east Blue original exactly. I always saw the connection, but I never
thought like, oh wait, he could actually be like of a different race
until like more recent one piece. Yeah, because they keep they keep flirting
with more races, like they keep throwing in more races, So it wouldn't
surprise me at this point. But how does he serve have the sunlight?
I mean that would that would suck if he couldn't go in the sunlight.
Yeah. I do want to say also that his bounty was revealed possibly in
this section, and it was fucking bigger than Buggy's bounty which of course deserved,
but also bigger than Lufy's bounty. So this dude who was known as
being alone for a long time has a higher bounty than two of the current
Gianco. That's just an insane flex right there that I think everyone should appreciate
it. Yes, nuts. Another interesting thing is that Vlad Dracula, the
you know the Dracula, he was the son of Vlad Drakul with just literally
d r A c U L. I never knew that, Yeah, and
then Dracula would mean like the son of Drakul. Interesting, that is interesting,
so Zoro maybe the actual Dracula Draculia. I don't know Romanian, but
I'm very well versed with Romanian. It was it was properly appreciate exactly we
have. We have Andrew Taine on the podcast, so he knows. All
right, anything else you want to discuss. I'm kind of feeling like craps,
I need to call it soon here. I think we covered most things.
Obviously, there gonna be some stuff we miss because so much happened,
But I think, yeah, it's still the arc is still building up to
a crescendo. We haven't reached the climax yet. We've had a bunch of
stuff happening, and now it's like there's multiple showdowns about to happen. We
have whatever Stuffy's planning, men Straw hats kisetto apparently is approaching the the island
Egghead Island. We have Garp joining the fight against the black Beard Pirates.
Right, all that have been set up, right, Really everything's moving.
Law is still fighting black Beard as far as we know, like that fight
hasn't concluded. So that's that Garp joining the Law the Hard Pirates is probably
the way I could see them getting out of it, because before I was
like, Bro, no way, no way, Law is going to actually
like where and against black Beard. But with Garp joining the battle, then
they could I think they have a much better chance. True, Yeah,
Kobe was kidnapped by black Beard and Garpe is gonna go to rescue him.
But I also think that we're gonna get a meeting, secret meeting between Kuzon
and Kobe where he's like, yeah, of course I'm a member of Sword
all along. Bro. I just it's so predictable, Bro, I kind
of want him to just be on the black Beard side and be like useful
for Blackbeard Pirates. But we'll see something, so I mean, like,
you're right, yours is he risks his own life to save good people multiple
times because if they if it was found out that he saved them intentionally,
he would be executed. So it just doesn't make sense that Kuzan would willingly
join black Beard. And actually, but we don't know why he did,
right, That'll have to be revealed before we could make judgments. Even if
he was like, i'll use the black Beard Pirates for now, he'll end
up turning against them, right, So yeah, yeah, we'll see.
I hope. I hope, like just because I don't want the Black Group
parties to get weaker, just because I think that that they're they're gonna be
one of the big antagonists at the end that Lucy and Destrays have to conquer.
So I don't want him to lose power because it'll just be all the
more interesting if they're powerful and then they get beaten. Still, but yeah,
we'll see. Obviously, Kuzon is someone to watch out for. Oh,
don't underestimate peach Beard. That's all I'm saying. Dude, that dude's
like, did nothing. I don't he shouldn't have even been allowed to be
like associated with the name Blackbird. Can't. I can't stand peach Beard slander
and broke them on. Dude, he got wrecked. Man, he got
wrecked by the people. Dude, he got wrecked by the people of the
village he was attacking because what's her name? That one revolutionary pumped them up
using her devil fruit power. Bellow Betty pumped them up, and they freaking
like beat beach Beard like you. So if I don't even know who fall,
let me pump me up. I'd fucking beat anyone. But he lost,
bro But I get what you mean. Yeah, yeah, I guess.
Oh this guy is peach Beard. I get what you mean. It
was just a random good episode. Um, I'm not sure when exactly we'll
do the next one. Bub We'll try not to make Once a month is
what goes on pushing for guys. So if I get my way, we're
gonna do it at least once a month. I think every four chapters would
be idea. Yeah, then that would be all over the place with no
schedule, but all depends on whether it's every week or every other week.
But hooky Wookie, thank you for the thousand magical crystals, saying Kuson may
use black Beard to destroy the celestial dragons. Maybe that's right, we'll see.
I think Shanks is the celestial dragon, so celestial dragons are going to
play a big part for sure. Cool. I will be uploading this the
YouTube chat, I don't think. I actually I'm up to almost all of
the one Piece ones because they're very easy to upload because we did them once
never Yeah, and they are, like, you know, an awesome podcast
that we have right now, probably one of our I'm definitely popular by bye
episode by views per episodes, so I think that it's worth that. If
anything else is the last two one Piece episodes have been uploaded, so I
haven't missed that at least yep. Thank you guys for continuing to support the
