1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Yo, what is up? Boys? How's it going? And welcome

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,040
back to another episode of the Rant Cafe, not ran Cafe,

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,320
the One Piece Virgin Podcast. How many times am I

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:07,839
gonna do that?

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: Well?

6
00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:10,279
Speaker 1: Technically I've been uploading the One Piece Virgin to ran

7
00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:12,759
Cafe as well anyway, so it's all the same thing.

8
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,800
It's all this, It's all one podcast right right right

9
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,559
with me. Today we have a special guest, the anime

10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,280
Dude aka Charles Black. How you doing?

11
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:25,199
Speaker 3: Not so special? But I guess I am a guest,

12
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,359
so welcome everybody.

13
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: You are a special guest gaber here, and we have

14
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:33,520
the One Piece Virgin herself, Poseidon Mythos, how you doing?

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Hi? I am doing good. I am I'm ready to yap.

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, always ready to yeah yeah. Here we are

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,960
covering Alabasta today. All right, we're turning the first half

18
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:50,600
the first half of Alabasta roughly roughly okay, Poseidon, general

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,479
thoughts so far? How you like? And it we finally

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,039
made it here.

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,679
Speaker 4: I actually, I'll be honest, I was kind of like

22
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:01,520
going into this knowing that it was gonna be a

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,119
longer arc.

24
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to say dreading it.

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: I feel like that's a little bit extreme, but I

26
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:08,400
was kind of like, oh, okay, it's gonna take a while,

27
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:15,480
but I've actually thoroughly enjoyed my time in Alabasta with

28
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:20,239
the Straw Hats. So I just finished up the episode

29
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:24,000
where they finally managed to get out of the casino.

30
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: So it's been fun. I've I've been actually enjoying it

31
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:28,319
quite a lot.

32
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:30,879
Speaker 1: So were they in like the prison in the casino?

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,439
Is that is that where you ended off? Okay, got it? Okay, yes, yes,

34
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:37,799
they were like being held up and the banana gators

35
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:43,519
or whatever, crocodile being a mafia villain. Okay, okay, So yeah,

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,680
that's about the halfway point. So so far, you're enjoying it.

37
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:48,599
I do think it's like this is still the build

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,480
up of the arc, like right, like things are just

39
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,319
starting to go down, things are starting to happen. But

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,959
like you said, like you're enjoying it because at the

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,239
end of the day, just seeing the Straw Hats and

42
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,640
vv interact is always fun, at least for me.

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,799
Speaker 4: My gosh, I honestly, I've come to love VB so

44
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:11,240
much more, like as I continue to watch, so I'm

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,759
really excited to see what happens, because I know the

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800
second part it's gonna be a huge thing. All this

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,319
build up starting like from when they enter the Grand

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,639
Line is finally gonna like pay off here.

49
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: So I'm excited.

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: So they finally land on Alabasta, and they stop in

51
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:33,719
a town for supplies first, and they run into two individuals.

52
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,280
I don't know if you remember who I'm talking about here, Poseidon.

53
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: Ah, Well, there was a lot of characters, like they

54
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:43,719
stopped at a lot of town.

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also true. The first talent they run into

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,159
Ace and Smoker. How did you feel about that?

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,319
Speaker 2: So? Oh my god. I honestly, Ace is so silly.

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: He's just another loofy but maybe a little stronger and

59
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,280
a little smart and.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,159
Speaker 1: A little more mature.

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's he's so he can be dumb sometimes, and.

62
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 2: I loved him.

63
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: I'm always excited to see Smoker. I think up to

64
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,680
this point, Smoker still has my favorite double fruit. And

65
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:22,400
I also just him and Tashigi's uh interactions always cracked

66
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:22,800
me up.

67
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, how about you?

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: How about you, Jordan? The first town it was, it

69
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,000
was it was pretty simple, but you get to meet

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Ace for the first time, not the first time, because

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,479
technically you saw him like a little flashback during Drum Island, right,

72
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:38,479
but this is the first like real interaction.

73
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:40,639
Speaker 3: With this first time we're actually seeing him, actually getting

74
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,120
an interaction with him. I forgot how uh how brief

75
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,319
it was in the manga as far as uh you know,

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,120
he he interacts with Lufy, gives him the V break card. Uh,

77
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,319
he blows up all those baroque work ships, and then

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,960
he's out of there. Like I believe every other part

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000
of him being in Alabasta, Like if you've seen him

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,120
in the desert and stuff, I think that's anime only.

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,400
So I really I can't really speak to those quite

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,680
as well.

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really remember those interesting. Yeah, the

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,759
pacing in the manga is definitely a lot faster, and

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,159
it feels like a lot of the moments that I

86
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:14,520
love from the anime are just so quick in the manga,

87
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,600
which is a good thing and a bad thing at times. Right,

88
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:20,240
One thing I do want to say about eighth, it's

89
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:22,839
so funny when you get introduced to such a badass

90
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,519
and strong character, like we know he's the second division

91
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,600
commander of the of the White Beer Pirates, and we

92
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,079
saw how he took out whatever, the millions or the

93
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,800
fucking billions, so that he's o P strong as fuck.

94
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:38,000
But his first inter interaction is him falling asleep. He's

95
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360
falling asleep while having dinner or having like whatever, eating food,

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
and everyone thinks he dies. Like such a silly introduction.

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,680
I think it works well for Lufi's brother.

98
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: Is that not something we all do every every now

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:49,959
and again?

100
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: With his with his fucking yeah, dude, after I eat,

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,759
I need a nap, honestly, but like dude, like literally

102
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,360
like his hands still up in the air with the food.

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,879
Everyone thinks he dies and it's hilarious.

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: Or was it like a desert strawberry must have gotten

105
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,360
or something? The poor soul. They were genuinely worried for him.

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: And then beside it, you have to see two logios

107
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,759
go at it. You got smoker versus Ace, fire versus smoke.

108
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,360
It was kind of just like a stalemate.

109
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,439
Speaker 2: That was cool.

110
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: I actually, like, prior to this, had no idea that

111
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,319
Ace was also a double fruit holder. I think I

112
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:26,439
think out of all the devil fruits, I really like

113
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,759
the ones that like turn into elements.

114
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: So I really loved that little interaction.

115
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially at this point in the series, logas seem unstoppable.

116
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,240
They seem so overpowered, and they are to a certain extent.

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680
But when you have two logas like like fire and

118
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680
smoke going at it, it just kind of like blew

119
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:51,040
up the town and nothing happened. It was a stale

120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,639
mate and they escaped, which was cool. Loofy had a

121
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,839
lot of silly moments in this town, like he got lost.

122
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,879
But then their their plan right now is they're trying

123
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:04,319
to locate the Revolutionary Army, right, so they stopped in

124
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,560
this town to get supplies and then they're moving on

125
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800
to to like the next town or whatever it is.

126
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560
And they had the journey the journey there, and there

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,120
was some funny moments along the journey. Don't know if

128
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,120
there's anything you want to talk about here or either

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,319
of you.

130
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:21,399
Speaker 4: I think Loofy going a little manic during just the

131
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,600
traveling par where he's like I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, and

132
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,600
just like kind of going crazy. I think one of

133
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,120
my favorite, like when something that comes to mind right away,

134
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,600
one of my favorite little moments was I believe he

135
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,399
was drinking. Was it like a cactus some sort of

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,600
plant and it had like hallucinigenics or some hallucination something

137
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:45,040
on it, and he starts just like losing it. Yeah,

138
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,079
touch Everybody's like, Loofy, why would you why would you

139
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:48,639
eat that?

140
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Why would you drink that? And he's just over here

141
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,360
losing his mind.

142
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes like the chill moments, the calm before the storm.

143
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:58,399
The comedy is some of the best parts of one piece.

144
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,360
It was just such a roller coaster when it goes

145
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:05,959
from like Loofy's like hungry and tired and then loses

146
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,079
the food to fucking birds that scammed him, and then

147
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:13,120
he's getting chased with a camel and a fucking salamander

148
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,680
or whatever the hell, like desert salamander and they fought

149
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,839
it and ate it, and then like like then the

150
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,160
fucking camel's like, oh, I only carry women. Like it

151
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,279
was just like what was the camel's namesh eyelash, eyelash,

152
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,240
what a macho camel? Fucking sanji if he was really

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,240
targeted as a camel. And then he eats a cactus

154
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,199
cause he's thirsty and he gets high and he thinks

155
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,399
a tsunami. Then he falls asleep and then Chopper fuck,

156
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:40,879
like it's just like a roller coaster of like bullshit

157
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:42,279
along the way. It's so fun.

158
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:45,959
Speaker 4: It's like Nami and BB are like sitting on the

159
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,920
camel just like rolling their eyes their antics and Sanji

160
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,079
and you stop having to deal with it.

161
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: Had a great time.

162
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: It is definitely one of those things where like the

163
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,839
the crew dynamics and like the characters themselves are so

164
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,079
strong in one piece that even though a lot of

165
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:07,800
those funny moments, there's some of them that aren't even

166
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,680
in the manga, but like they're able to bring it

167
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,800
to life on screen and have it feel so natural

168
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,879
just because it's so well defined right between those character members.

169
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, I feel like VV feels like a

170
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,439
member of the crew so early on, even with her

171
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,160
stupidity at times, like not warning the crew about the

172
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,319
birds and the scamming, or like she meets bond Clay,

173
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,680
which we have to talk about bomb I have mentioned

174
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,480
bond Clay and get her get her thoughts, but like

175
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,120
she meets Bond Clay and she's like, oh damn, I

176
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,720
never knew he was mister two. Meanwhile, it's like he

177
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,480
was described with a ballerina with a pink flamingo coat

178
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:44,720
or whatever. It's like, how the fuck did you not know.

179
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: That says this specific phrase, Like, yeah, it's.

180
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,639
Speaker 1: So ridiculous, Like I fucking love VV but becided bond Clay.

181
00:08:53,639 --> 00:08:54,639
How are you feeling about that?

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:55,879
Speaker 2: Honestly?

183
00:08:56,159 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: His character is so ridiculous. Honest he is very dangerous

184
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:02,879
as well.

185
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: Like being able to mimic other people's.

186
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: Bodies is such a powerful thing. Oh yeah, I could

187
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,679
just pretend to be somebody else and copy their voice

188
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,960
and everything. I think that is so so threatening. But

189
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:21,919
his character himself, I think is so dumb. He's just

190
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720
like he just wants to dance. He just wants to

191
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:27,000
show off and flaunt himself. But when he needs to

192
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,639
do the job, he will do it. And for that

193
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,519
I do I think out of all the number of agents,

194
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,480
he's probably up there for me.

195
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like bon Clay a lot, nice at least

196
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:38,919
right now.

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting.

198
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: So you said you liked it.

199
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think everyone loves Bonclay. But for

200
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,039
the this is just the first half of Alabasta. So

201
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:50,639
it's a good sign that you like Bonclay. But at

202
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,000
the end of the day, Blonclay is an enemy and

203
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,440
a powerful one. You saw the way that he fought

204
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,960
mister Wan and could hold his own with his Oh yeah,

205
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,200
with his fighting style. He's powerful, he dangerous. But he's

206
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,399
introduced as a friend at first, which is very interesting

207
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,519
because we didn't know that he was mister two, even

208
00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:07,720
though VV should have fucking known.

209
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:10,399
Speaker 3: And you can tell he's kind of a good guy

210
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:12,960
as far as like the reason he thought Mister one, right,

211
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:14,799
like Mister One threw hands with a few of his

212
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,879
of his crew members, and he's like, hey, that's not cool.

213
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,799
You know, I'll throw hands with you even if you're

214
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:23,399
a number above me, right, yeah.

215
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: You can even I remember him even being so grateful

216
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,919
when the straw hats like him from the water.

217
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: He's like, you guys saved my life.

218
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: I will be forever grateful for you, and like he

219
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,320
was even entertaining them and stuff like that. So yeah,

220
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,399
I honestly, his personality is great. I don't I want

221
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,600
to think at this point like he's a bad guy

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,240
just because he's part of baroque. But I think deep

223
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,399
down he might, you know, have some sort of heart.

224
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,399
Speaker 2: But I guess we'll just have to watch and.

225
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: Find you're basing that off of what I said. I

226
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,399
like the more and like every series I read, so

227
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,440
I'm a villain's guy. Crocodile is my favorite character in

228
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,600
One Piece. Oh really, future pirate king right there.

229
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: I think Crocodile is a great villain. And we'll get

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,879
into that in a second. I'm trying to go I'm

231
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840
trying to guide us like Nami chronologically a little bit.

232
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,159
I'm trying to remember what happened next, so they start

233
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,240
moving on to the next area. And what were those

234
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,399
fucking little guys called those little karate gongs do gongs?

235
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,000
The do Gong?

236
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: I love those, like I forgot about the hiking bear

237
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,440
like last for Drum Island, and you know, hiking bear

238
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,759
is great, but I remember the Kunclue do Gongs. Those

239
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:37,799
were like the best animals in One Piece. They were

240
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:40,000
willing to follow him, and he, as apprentice.

241
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,159
Speaker 1: To the end decided, what do you think about the

242
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,919
do gongs? They were They're so cute.

243
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: They were very cute.

244
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:50,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I have, like I just I just have

245
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,200
like an affinity for cute looking things. So I feel

246
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,799
like every single cute looking animal that has come.

247
00:11:57,639 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: To one I have just been like, I want to

248
00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,919
plash you.

249
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: So I feel like if if Poseidon was a pirate,

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,600
the Dugongs would be part of the crew.

251
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,399
Speaker 3: That's what I thought. As soon as uh like, are

252
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,039
they native to this land? And they're like no, they

253
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:16,759
live in the sea. I'm like, just bring them with you,

254
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:19,080
like they can swim, they can.

255
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: I understand not wanting them to come through the desert

256
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:25,320
with you when like they're literally like water is scarce

257
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,440
and food is scarce and all that. But it's just

258
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,799
so funny. Goes to challenge them, gets his ass kicked

259
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,240
and punches them out, and then right away they're just

260
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,960
like they're like practicing their punching music. No, not like that,

261
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,600
like this like this, it's like, I fucking love one piece, dude.

262
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,240
It's a little things. It's the little things, man. And

263
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:47,000
then they were they arrive in the it's not the

264
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,720
capital city, but it's like it takes this town that

265
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,759
they wanted to be like this. It was a big

266
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:58,159
thing for for Alabasta, right and it was completely deserted.

267
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,519
It was all covered in sand and it just one

268
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,240
old man there digging a hole. Poseidon, if I don't

269
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,440
know if you either of you want to take it

270
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,360
from here, Yes.

271
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: So I believe this also was around the time where

272
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,879
we do get a little context on Vb's past because

273
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,120
that old man is involved with her at some point

274
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,159
in her past.

275
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I think his name is Toto. Guys, I might remember

276
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:26,320
one name in one piece.

277
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: I can never I always get this character. It's not Couson,

278
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,840
because I know that's a different character.

279
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,159
Speaker 1: Cosca Cosa Coosa.

280
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,399
Speaker 4: There we go for some reason, I keep thinking Couson.

281
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,120
But we get context on who Kosa is. You know,

282
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,159
he went to the king when he was younger, was

283
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,559
trying to fight for the people, and you know, the

284
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:57,000
king offered him and Toto his dad basically sanctuary at

285
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,720
his palace, and Kosa and BV become become friends, and

286
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:05,919
we learned that Koza is the leader of the revolutionary army,

287
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,960
and you know, the the dad is now at this town.

288
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:16,240
I believe it was an oasis, right, Yeah, it was

289
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:22,919
supposed and we get context you know the how the kingdom,

290
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,840
I guess, hasn't been helping out with like the water

291
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,759
there's no rain. Thus, like the oasis dried up and

292
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,120
now Toto is here digging trying to find some sort

293
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,519
of water down there. But yeah, that was honestly, like

294
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:41,000
kind of sad to see where things have gone with

295
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,200
the kingdom. You know, people are suffering. You know, town's

296
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,200
getting abandoned, and it's now VV is seeing what's been

297
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:55,799
going on, like while she's been away, it's just gotten

298
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:58,519
so much worse. And you know, now she's just like,

299
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,360
we need to fix this. Now, we need a fight, Crocodile.

300
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:02,399
We need to take down.

301
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: Baroque works before they destroy the entire kingdom.

302
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 4: And I think that was kind of a like, I

303
00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:11,399
don't want to say turning point, but now you know,

304
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,559
things are getting really serious. It's not just affecting just

305
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,759
like one or a small group of people. This is

306
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:19,879
affecting an entire country m hm. And now the Straw

307
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,720
has have to figure out how they can save an

308
00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:23,720
entire country.

309
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: Now it's not just a town.

310
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,679
Speaker 1: And it's a really tough situation. So the whole reason

311
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440
VV was trying to get to the oasis was to

312
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,080
stop the revolutionary army. So do you understand Crocodile's little

313
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:35,919
master plan here?

314
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:40,519
Speaker 2: Yes, he's trying to get the people right to.

315
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Turn against him, to turn against the king.

316
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,679
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I turn against the king.

317
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,399
Speaker 1: And so basically he's trying to calluse like a civil

318
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,360
war so that they could kind of take out each

319
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,679
other and then he would probably swoop in or I

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,840
don't know what his exact planet. I don't want to

321
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
spoil anything, kind of I don't remember exactly, but like

322
00:15:57,559 --> 00:15:59,799
he's trying to get them to fight each other turn

323
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,759
on the king. He's like the hero right now, right

324
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:05,440
he like saves people from pirates and stuff like that,

325
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,559
and he's gonna, I guess, might try try to take over,

326
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,879
right m That's.

327
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,919
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things about Alabasta as an arch

328
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,679
is it's one of the first ones where we like

329
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:16,840
kind of zoom out to the macro of the entire

330
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:19,759
kingdom and leading up to it, you know, you're on

331
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,879
a ship and we have just the the crew of

332
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,200
themselves and they're dealing with supply issues because you know,

333
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,600
while you think you'd have like a small elite number

334
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:29,960
of people on a crew, that'd be one of the

335
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,879
big benefits is you don't have supply issues. But Luthy's

336
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:34,960
a glutton and an idiot, so Soanji's like, I have

337
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:38,120
to walk from my fridge, So like we're about to

338
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,320
starve out here. Let's get the duck hang him overboard.

339
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,720
Try to fish with him or something, but they're they're

340
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,399
trying not to starve out there. But then you get

341
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,159
to the Kingdom of Alabasta, and most of the little

342
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,679
sub points we've talked about thus far are them dealing with,

343
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,080
like the supply issues and the economics of the kingdom.

344
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:58,080
People starving, people having to deal with the famine and

345
00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:01,120
drought caused from the dance powder, which is a cool

346
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,519
little thing.

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan, what a great point. I feel like I've

348
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,279
noticed this in other arcs later on, which I don't know,

349
00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:08,039
I'm not going to get into, but like I do

350
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,400
find like the little things that the crew is dealing

351
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,799
with on the way ends up attaching to the story.

352
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,359
So in this case, it's like they're dealing with scarcity

353
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,319
of food and with lack of water or whatever, and

354
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,640
they're hungry and all that, and then that's what the

355
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,680
fucking civilians of Alabast has been dealing with for the

356
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:28,799
last fucking three years and all part of Crocodile's master plan.

357
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: It was exactly That's my favorite. For Yeah, villain Man,

358
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,839
him and bone Clay are over there playing politics and

359
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,880
like additionally inducing these uh, these conflicts within the kingdom

360
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,799
by like affecting the supply chain and as soon as

361
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,519
you meet bone Clay like him changing faces. The crew

362
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,359
was like, that's not good. But considering he could, you know,

363
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,119
act like the king or whatever, that could be very

364
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,559
bad politically. But I don't know, It's just it's a

365
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,559
very well done arc.

366
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:55,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

367
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,559
Speaker 3: I love to see it.

368
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,759
Speaker 1: I love I love hearing different people's like perspectives on it,

369
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:01,160
and so great.

370
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,079
Speaker 4: I was about to say, like, now that you say that, like,

371
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,920
now I'm realizing, Wow, Like what a great villain Crocodile is.

372
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,759
Speaker 2: He's he's playing forty chess. Yeah, well everybody's playing.

373
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,519
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna spoil you on anything to

374
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:17,119
do with the second half of the arc yet, but

375
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,559
I will say you stopped right before my favorite episodes

376
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:23,119
of the series. Oh if they had ended there, I

377
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,200
I'm good. I'm I'm you know, like one piece would

378
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,680
have been a ten out of ten for me.

379
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: M hmm.

380
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:34,839
Speaker 1: Like, well, next week we're definitely gonna cover not next week,

381
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,920
two weeks from now, we're gonna cover the rest of Alabasta.

382
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:41,240
And this was just a build up, right Obviously, we

383
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,519
still have some more to talk about. So what was

384
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:46,599
crazy is in the backstory we got to see that

385
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,160
Kosa was like defending Veg. They became such good friends,

386
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:54,200
and Toto was like so like devoted to the king

387
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,559
and the kingdom, and its just crazy to see him

388
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:59,359
all these years later, like he was so fat fat,

389
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,599
Oh my god, back in the day and now he's

390
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:04,920
like skinny and older and he's still digging. And then

391
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,920
what they calls he gives Loofy that little bit of

392
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,920
water for the hole that he dug, and then the

393
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,079
boys are on their way to the main city of

394
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,319
Alabasta Alabartna. Did I get I got that red? Am

395
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,200
I fucking doing it? Am I am? I getting names?

396
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:20,759
If only attacking was here?

397
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: That sounds right.

398
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: I believe that's right with how bad you are with names,

399
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,599
the fact that you remember Toto of all people, and

400
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,559
like you're walking.

401
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: I love I just like such a good dad. And

402
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,000
then like and no matter, like literally like everything has

403
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:39,039
been painted like the pin Cobra as the bad guy,

404
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,000
right with the dance powder in the in the city,

405
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,839
found in the castle ruining, like the main city getting

406
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,680
all the rain and none of the other areas, like

407
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,920
all all the drought and the famine over three years. Literally,

408
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,599
Homie is starving to death and death and he still

409
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:55,279
believes in the king, like he's my goat, He's just

410
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:01,480
my goat man. But as they're leaving for Alabarna, we

411
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:04,039
get an interaction between Loofy and VV. I want to

412
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:05,359
hear what you guys have to think about that.

413
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,039
Speaker 3: As you know, I hate girls with blue hair, so.

414
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: I have blue hair.

415
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: VV is definitely an exception, you know, like she was

416
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,400
out there throwing hands, she was ready. I will say

417
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,920
I love that as well because with shonon in manga

418
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,599
and anime, like you know, there's always that idealistic aspect

419
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,799
to it where you always feel like things are probably

420
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:40,000
gonna work out, and you know, usually they do. But

421
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,480
VV is that stereotypical, idealistic princess that kind of was

422
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,480
a little bit sheltered growing up. She wants everything to

423
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,759
work out for everybody. She just wants everybody to talk

424
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:52,680
it out. And it's one of those things where she

425
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,480
understands where the source of the problem is, but she's

426
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:58,680
wanting to go a different route to avoid confronting that

427
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,440
directly because she doesn't want that conflict. She doesn't want

428
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,359
anybody around her to get hurt. She doesn't want to

429
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:06,720
there to be any repercussions there to the people she

430
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:09,400
cares about. And I don't know, it was such a

431
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,799
great interaction for Lucy just to say, hey, there's a

432
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,440
chance something can happen, but like you've got to be

433
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,720
willing to fight for it, but our lives on the

434
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,400
line as well. Where your friends were with you. I

435
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,319
don't want to ramble too much, but I think that's

436
00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:22,680
one of the one of the highlight interactions of the

437
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:23,519
arc for sure.

438
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:25,079
Speaker 1: How do you feel about episoded?

439
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,759
Speaker 4: Just like getting like her getting basically the sense just

440
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,519
like slapped into her like this is the reality of things.

441
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:36,319
This is what it's going to take to try to

442
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:36,759
fix this.

443
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: And you know, I was.

444
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: Honestly surprised when I started that episode, you know how

445
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,200
like the announced like the title of the episode right

446
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,599
before you know, the whole book started.

447
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:52,839
Speaker 2: It was like, loofy versus VV versus VV, what is

448
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,240
happening here? But then you know, it was kind of

449
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,200
a wholesome moment.

450
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:04,079
Speaker 5: Hands are for everyone because I remember whenever I first

451
00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:07,440
watched that and stuff, you always get the feeling that

452
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:09,160
Lucy's hands are rated D for everybody.

453
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,079
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, like everybody everybody right, Like when I

454
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,839
first watched that and like before you kind of like

455
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359
put it into perspective, you're like, the hell did you?

456
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,799
Just the whole crew was like that too.

457
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: They're like, whoa man, Well, yeah, but I cut you

458
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:23,359
off though to make that stupid joke. What were you

459
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:23,839
gonna say?

460
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: No, It was a very just like wholesome moment between

461
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:32,279
the two, Like you know, Charles Black said, you know,

462
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:37,400
VV does have a very like idealistic she has a

463
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,359
solution in mind, but you know, things just don't work

464
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,920
out that way. That's not the reality of what you

465
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,799
know things are. So I think this was also a

466
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,559
huge turning point for VV, where she kind of was

467
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,079
just like, Okay, we're just gonna have to do whatever

468
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,319
it takes right.

469
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: To try to fix this. There is no talking it out.

470
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 4: There is know, like you know, somebody is gonna have

471
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,079
to get hurt in order for this to you know,

472
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:05,920
get resolved.

473
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like VV is trying to go about it like

474
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,920
let's like talk to Kosa and like stop the Revolutionary

475
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:15,279
Army whatever. Like he's trying to avoid and save everyone,

476
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:20,200
and Lufy is just realism, Like realistically, crocodile is the

477
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,240
fucking problem and we're gonna have to fight him, and

478
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,319
like you're gonna have to trust us and like risk

479
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,319
our lives along with your life, Like you can't just

480
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,200
try to do it all yourself and try to save

481
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,480
everyone peacefully. Like and then they start like hitting each

482
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,920
other and like vv starts crying. It's such a it

483
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,599
goes from like emotional to wholesome to like what the

484
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,079
fuck is going on? Like it's I think it's a

485
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,240
good captain moment for Loofy, And Lufy is one of

486
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,000
those guys that just knows like who he needs to

487
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:47,559
take down, who he needs to fight in order to

488
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,039
solve whatever the problem is.

489
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,319
Speaker 3: Lufy is definitely one of those like stereotypical like wise idiots,

490
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,519
if that makes sense, where usually he's dumb as hell,

491
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:57,400
but like there's times where he's dumb as hell in

492
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,680
the way that kind of has a point where it's like, oh, like, okay,

493
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,119
he's seeing like the bigger picture here that he's looking

494
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,039
at the heart of the matter in a way that

495
00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:06,680
most people might not write.

496
00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:12,759
Speaker 4: One of the few serious moments Lufy has so far

497
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:19,160
in this arc, but Yeah, that honestly reminded me of

498
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:23,400
Barlong Park, where Lufy had a very similar moment with

499
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,559
Nammy where she was breaking down and all of that.

500
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,160
So yeah, Lufy, when he needs to get serious, he

501
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,200
will get serious and he will, you know, be real

502
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:36,880
with you. And I think that's what's so endearing about

503
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,559
his character.

504
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,519
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, speaking of Arlong Park and Nomy,

505
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,400
I like this just a little thing that doesn't it's

506
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,920
kind of irrelevant. When Ace gives the piece of paper

507
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,359
that had nothing on it to Lufy, just like Lufy.

508
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,359
Tommy saw that Lufy like kind of like felt like

509
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,559
the paper was important to him because it's his brothers.

510
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,759
And She's like, let me like sew it onto your hat,

511
00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:00,759
like your other treasure, the other thing I know you're

512
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:02,440
gonna take care of. And I guess the fact that

513
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,599
Lufy's like so willing just to hand over his hat

514
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:07,599
and let NONI sew it into into like the ribbon

515
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,960
or whatever. It's just like, I don't know, just something,

516
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,240
the small thing that I appreciate.

517
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: The only remember that's betrayed them thus far has like

518
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:18,039
the strongest bond to trust for them. Those two trust

519
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:19,440
each other so so much.

520
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:22,079
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what happened.

521
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: From island too, Like they're like, you could die, but

522
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:26,160
she's like, I trust my captain, Like get me there

523
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:26,960
top of the mountain.

524
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true, right, what's it called? Lufy? No trust?

525
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,400
Trusted loofy to climb drum Island or like one of

526
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,279
the drums or whatever. And it was such a badass moment.

527
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,240
But Poseidon, I'm trying to remember exactly what happens next.

528
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,759
I don't want to spoil parts of the second half.

529
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,400
So I know they make their way to to like

530
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,880
the main city and it's the casino there, and I

531
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240
know Crocodile gets revealed to the rest of baroque works,

532
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,480
but I don't want to go anything further than that.

533
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,000
So if you want to take it from here and

534
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,559
talk about moments or characters.

535
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:01,279
Speaker 2: So.

536
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: Am I able to track back a little bit because

537
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,400
it was something I kind of wanted to I loved.

538
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:13,119
I believe this might have been considered filler, but I

539
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,359
actually thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The sand Pirates, I don't

540
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,160
even know you're talking about kids. No, no, no, there

541
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,480
was like the pirate was I believe they called themselves

542
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,960
the Barber Pirates where it was a pirate crew, but

543
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,079
they like have a ship on the dunes.

544
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: Did they have a killer?

545
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might have, so like I've most recently read

546
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:38,559
the manga and watched one pace, so like I would

547
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:40,680
not remember this unfortunately, but if you want to talk

548
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,440
about it, talk about as a chat, go for it.

549
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,279
Speaker 2: So I I I.

550
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: Know this was probably considered filler, but there was like

551
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,839
I feel like some sort of like information or like

552
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,000
context that this episode gave that added a little more

553
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,559
to like especially BB. But I can't exactly remember the

554
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,400
name of this pirate, but there was a female pirate

555
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,599
on this crew where I guess they were gonna help transport,

556
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:12,359
you know, or help travel, help the straw has travel, right,

557
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,079
and they get stuck VV and Loofy gets stuck in

558
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,119
some sort of like sand quick sand dune, and this

559
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,359
particular female pirate was like, well, that princess con fend

560
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,839
for herself. I'm not helping her. And you get context

561
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,400
as to why she.

562
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,319
Speaker 2: Does not like VV.

563
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 4: And turns out she was affected by all of the

564
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,240
stuff that's been happening in the Kingdom.

565
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: Then that's why she holds so much hate for her and.

566
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,839
Speaker 4: At the end of the episode, you know, VV hears

567
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,920
her out and like, you know, here's coming from somebody

568
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,960
who's lived in Alabasta and suffered through all of you know,

569
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:52,799
the pain and you know, the everything that's been going

570
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,519
through with everyone. She gets a little more like context

571
00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:58,920
as to like, oh, wow, this is this is how

572
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,599
it's affecting our people. So I know it's a little

573
00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:03,359
bit of filler, but I feel like that was such

574
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,039
an important moment for VV as well, just again seeing

575
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,799
what's been going on and how all these different problems

576
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,880
that have been happening, how they're affecting different people.

577
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: And I think that, you know.

578
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good contrast. That's a very good contract

579
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:22,720
because we see how it affected Toto and his resolve remained.

580
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240
But I would imagine majority of people are a good

581
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,240
amount of people have completely turned on the king, and

582
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,680
even though we know a lot of them did, we

583
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,400
don't get to see their suffering and their attitude that

584
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,039
much other than maybe through Kosa. So I think that's

585
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:38,759
actually some fun filler that's actually relevant.

586
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely don't feel like you're wasting your time with

587
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,519
like just because we say the word filler and stuff

588
00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:45,359
in some of these early arcs, I feel.

589
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,799
Speaker 1: Like people complain about go ahead, sorry, I.

590
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:50,559
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, when people complain about one piece filler,

591
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:52,400
they're usually talking about way later on, when they just

592
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,960
stretch things out. Only One Piece I feel like has

593
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,920
some of the best filler as far as like taking

594
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,960
the context of the the arc and like the character

595
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:02,240
and stuff into account and then just making it feel

596
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:04,119
very natural as they like expand upon that.

597
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,559
Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, I actually love one Piece filler. I

598
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,759
actually do like one piece filler. I just hate the

599
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,799
one piece pacing, and those exact are surprisingly different things.

600
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,599
So like the filler episodes themselves, I do tend to enjoy.

601
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,440
I just don't have the patience for watching One Piece

602
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,200
these days because again, like Jordan said later on, but

603
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:26,640
even currently, I feel like just after Alabasta, or even

604
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,200
around Alabasta, it just it takes so long to get

605
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:32,359
like to where it needs to be because of like

606
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,279
how much they drag out things, and it just gets

607
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,279
worse and worse with every arc I find. But the

608
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:40,680
actual filler itself is fine, it's just like the episodes

609
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,400
that aren't filler.

610
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: I still think One Piece has some of the best filler,

611
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:49,039
like in like the big you know, mainstream shonin. I mean,

612
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,640
some of it stuck with me to this day, Like

613
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,599
all the scenes you get with Ace in the desert,

614
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,920
like just mimicking the lizard going back and forth. I

615
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,680
didn't rewatch that. I just remember that, right. It's one

616
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,839
of those things that just sticks with you.

617
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: So apparently Naruto and Bleach had like forty five and

618
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:05,640
forty eight percent of forty eight percent filler. Well One

619
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,119
Piece only has like ten or eleven percent filler, but

620
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:11,559
ten percent of a thousand is still one hundred episodes

621
00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:13,920
of filler. But also on top of that, like it's

622
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,759
just it's more just the non fillers pacing that tends

623
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:18,640
to be drawn out more and more with every arc.

624
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:20,960
I am a big fan of one Pace, but unfortunately

625
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,440
you wouldn't miss those filler arcs that are actually decent,

626
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:25,640
or those filler episodes are actually decent.

627
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,079
Speaker 4: How much you liked it, I also just love the

628
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,240
concept of sand pirates. It was just so cool seeing

629
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:37,680
them just kind of like sail through this and and you.

630
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: Know what is this an avatar?

631
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was honestly kind of like that. It was

632
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,799
really cool.

633
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,599
Speaker 4: But yeah, that particular filler episode kind of like stuck

634
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,880
with me a little bit after I finished it, where

635
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,759
it's just like, oh wow, nice, Like I didn't know this,

636
00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:59,680
you know, it was that bad. But yeah, going back

637
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,839
to the casino, I enjoyed meeting the rest of the

638
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:12,079
agents and their interactions with each other is quite silly.

639
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:18,200
They banter a lot, but I didn't know up until

640
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,480
this point that they all had no idea who the

641
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:24,279
boss was and being like, oh my god, it's a warlord.

642
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: What the heck? This is the guy we've been taking

643
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:29,000
orders from.

644
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,519
Speaker 1: And they were a little spooked, right, Like they were

645
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:35,519
shocked and also scared because they saw they saw Crocodile

646
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:42,039
like basically kill mister three. Oh yeah, how crazy was that?

647
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: That was wild to see how easily he can just

648
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
dispose of, you know, his higher ranked agents. Just goes

649
00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,359
to show that he will do anything it takes to

650
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440
get to get to where he wants to be.

651
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,519
Speaker 1: Like mister three may not have been the strongest, but

652
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,759
when we watched him fight on Little Garden, he wasn't

653
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:02,039
like a slouch. And Crocodile has grabbed his face and

654
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:05,519
he just disintegrated and he go ahead.

655
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:08,319
Speaker 3: It's crazy because Crocodile is not only like one of

656
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:10,400
the strongest people we've seen yet, you know, you can

657
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:12,759
literally turn into sand, you can't hit him and whatnot.

658
00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:16,960
But and he's not. He's also in the perfect environment, right,

659
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,559
a place that already is desert y and sie already

660
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:21,160
has a lot of sand and whatnot. Like, he is

661
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:24,759
a very strong character, but he doesn't rely on that, right.

662
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:28,920
He's such a meticulous and scheming guy that he put

663
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,720
together a whole secret organization to like bend things around

664
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:35,359
behind the scenes and manipulate things in those ways.

665
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,039
Speaker 1: So he could have just walked in and killed the

666
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,240
king dude, Like he literally could have just fluid there

667
00:32:40,279 --> 00:32:41,400
and just killed everybody.

668
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:44,039
Speaker 3: At that point, you don't have like the cot trust

669
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:45,640
of the kingdom, and then you don't have like the

670
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,359
people willing to work like he has the people supporting him.

671
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 6: That's the whole economic aspect of it. Like I takes

672
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,200
these other things into account that I understand. He also wants,

673
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000
like military power, He's mentioned that already. I just it's

674
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,359
just so funny, Like I never even thought about it.

675
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:02,119
I'm like, this guy is such a master genius playing

676
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:05,160
forty chess and I'm just like, realistically, he's so strong

677
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:07,400
that before the straw hats got here, he could have

678
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,599
just floated into the Kingdom and wrecked everyone.

679
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,599
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say everybody like Pell's there, I like, tell.

680
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,359
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that. I right, go ahead,

681
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:18,240
he's the bird guy.

682
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, he's the bird guy. Okay.

683
00:33:20,119 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: I really don't think Pelle and the other army and

684
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,119
Cobra would have any chance against crocodile.

685
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,559
Speaker 3: They have a jackal guy too. I remember that because

686
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:31,480
Stark and they were like zoes, and I was just like,

687
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:33,640
that's a cool concept of me throwing a jackal and

688
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,759
a bird and cow. Many cool characters here.

689
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: Anyway, if you want to continue, Sorry, I just I

690
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:42,960
just I never thought about the fact that the crocodile

691
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,799
could have just floated and probably just wrecked everyone.

692
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: Get everybody nerding out, we start cutting you off.

693
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: My bad, you know you're fine, Like, no big deal.

694
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,720
I don't recall.

695
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,319
Speaker 4: You guys can correct me, but I don't recall. They're

696
00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:00,839
being context as to why Crocodile I was doing this.

697
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,480
I do remember him saying, this is where I was

698
00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,519
born and raised here, like Alabasta is where he's native.

699
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:09,639
Speaker 2: So I'm just kind of like one.

700
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: But I didn't even know that I forgot that then, huh.

701
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that's what I heard when I was watching.

702
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,159
But I'm just kind of wondering, like why is it

703
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,639
that he wants to destroy basically this country, Like why

704
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,800
why is it is he wanting to see his entire

705
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:30,960
like country he grew up in fall?

706
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: And I think, well, he only destroyed the country here.

707
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:36,119
I feel like he could have done that already if

708
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:36,719
that was his goal.

709
00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:39,119
Speaker 2: That's true, that's true, maybe just taking over.

710
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: So there's two things that have been said, and I

711
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,000
want you to take note of one. He did say

712
00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:46,760
he wants to build up a military power. He holds

713
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,800
some value in that. He said that, like to the

714
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,239
group of Barope Work agents, the numbered agents. And then

715
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:54,559
Ace also made a comment to Zoro that I think

716
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:55,960
is pretty cool, but I don't know if I should

717
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,760
get into it. He's just like, what was someone so

718
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,760
strong I want to do here?

719
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:03,039
Speaker 3: Like oh yeah, back at this back of this whole

720
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,000
backwater place, like I want to be out here if.

721
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: I didn't, like, what if a pirate wants to settle down?

722
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 3: It's crazy he's like, man, this is so early in

723
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,280
the grand line, Like who would want to be all

724
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,239
the way over here? Right?

725
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,519
Speaker 1: So maybe there's some type of ulterior motive, some master plan.

726
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:22,360
We'll have to wait and see and find out. Do

727
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,840
you have any theories on where this arcy is going,

728
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:28,000
not even this Crocodile wise, just in general.

729
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, I do not know. There is just

730
00:35:32,199 --> 00:35:35,639
so much going on. You have the straw hats, you

731
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,599
have baroque, you have like the king, you have the revolution,

732
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:43,440
revolution in your army. Like it's just like, oh my god,

733
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,840
there's so many things happening at once. I cannot like

734
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,400
really pinpoint how this is going to get resolved. Like

735
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,480
I know it's going to at some point, right, but

736
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,159
it's just kind of how are we gonna get from

737
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,519
where we're at now towards that? Like to me, I

738
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:04,559
don't know. But I also am very like excited to

739
00:36:04,639 --> 00:36:08,320
see I want to see more of Crocodile, Like, he's

740
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,000
a very interesting character, m you know, so I want

741
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,880
to be able to understand his you know, reasonings, and

742
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,519
understand like why he's doing this. But I also want

743
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:21,519
to see how the King is going to be able

744
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,599
to resolve this because he's already been under so much

745
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:25,840
pressure for the past few years and it's finally like

746
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,800
all coming down.

747
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:31,599
Speaker 1: So if you had to guess who's gonna fight who

748
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,239
in the upcoming episodes.

749
00:36:34,199 --> 00:36:43,159
Speaker 3: Any idea, Oh God does keep it guessing.

750
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,079
Speaker 4: I want to guess there's gonna be a point where

751
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:46,320
it's Koza versus.

752
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:47,199
Speaker 2: V V at some point.

753
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:48,159
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

754
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:51,079
Speaker 4: You know, there's they're basically on two different sides right now,

755
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:53,960
two best friends, you know, having to fight each other

756
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,840
like they were as kids. That would be cool to

757
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,679
see them do that as like, you know, all grown

758
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,119
up now.

759
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:00,639
Speaker 2: Oh something.

760
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:04,639
Speaker 4: I also want to mention I had no idea Miss

761
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:06,639
all Sunday was a double fruit holder.

762
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,199
Speaker 2: That was crazy.

763
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,119
Speaker 4: But she was fighting pell Uh, especially the type of

764
00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:17,159
devil she has. That was a that was a interesting

765
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:21,920
to have where she can grow limbs basically anywhere, so

766
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,400
that'll be I kind of want to see her go

767
00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:27,719
against Loofy where he has like a stretchy body, but

768
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,440
she can grow body parts.

769
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:33,199
Speaker 2: That would be fun to watch.

770
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,199
Speaker 3: I thought she was gonna say she wanted to see

771
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:39,360
her go against VV. I'm like, oh, we go against everybody.

772
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,320
Her hands once she got addicted.

773
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: She's all right, VV can throw hands. She's not. I

774
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,320
mean she was, I made bloody.

775
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: I think she blooded his mouth, right, But if anyone

776
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,920
could throw hands, it's it's it's miss all Sunday, all right.

777
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:57,119
Speaker 2: I mean VB.

778
00:37:57,559 --> 00:38:00,199
Speaker 4: I'm sure she knew she wasn't gonna beat crocodile, but

779
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,440
she was throwing hands with him, like she was doing

780
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,920
whatever she could to try to fight him, even though.

781
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,039
Speaker 3: I know if you're done to that party, BB versus Crocodile,

782
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:10,480
there you go.

783
00:38:10,599 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fucking crying right now because Chat just said

784
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,000
something really funny. I would love, butcided just to read

785
00:38:18,039 --> 00:38:20,960
it because it's so ridiculous. But this is how crazy

786
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,400
one piece gets and the theories get. So what in

787
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:29,679
Chat said, I'm just saying crocodile being Loofy's mom theory.

788
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,199
What crocodile mom theory confirmed? Deny. We will talk about

789
00:38:35,199 --> 00:38:40,880
that again, never in five hundred million years. But it's

790
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,159
just so.

791
00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:43,679
Speaker 2: Any sense.

792
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 3: Sounds like a next title video?

793
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it does sound like a next title video.

794
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: Anyway. I'm just trying to try to remember here, So

795
00:38:54,360 --> 00:39:01,920
you're you're you're thinking, maybe Loofy versus All Sunday. I

796
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,079
slipped up there. But you play the fucking card game.

797
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:07,400
That's why you keep on saying Cuson. You probably played

798
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,239
Couson and that's why you Oh yeah, he's.

799
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:15,199
Speaker 2: A staple card. I'm trying to think. I want to

800
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,000
see Nammy fight.

801
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 4: I feel like I haven't seen her fight enough because

802
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,079
I know she's capable, but I want to be able

803
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:22,159
to see her.

804
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,039
Speaker 2: Do something.

805
00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:26,039
Speaker 4: I wonder if the King is going to have a

806
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:29,480
fight O this coming second.

807
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:32,639
Speaker 1: Half, Well, this is this is one of the first arcs.

808
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,239
It's the end of like a big saga here, and

809
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,679
it's one of the first arts. For There's a lot

810
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,079
of enemies, like you have Crocodile, Mister one, Mister two,

811
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:42,880
all the way through fucking like nine or ten, and

812
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,360
you have a revolutionary army, you have the King's army.

813
00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:48,599
There are so many moving parts, and I do think

814
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:49,920
there's gonna be a lot of fights. You have all

815
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,719
the straw hats, billions, billions, millions, billions.

816
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: The people.

817
00:39:55,039 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, like there it's oh boy, this will be a

818
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,440
big one. But I'm very very excited to finish this.

819
00:40:05,519 --> 00:40:07,400
I'm probably gonna try to.

820
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: Get through it pretty soon.

821
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 4: But oh, I also want to mention, uh, I thought

822
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:18,400
it was interesting seeing a smoker for a little bit

823
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,280
with the straw.

824
00:40:19,039 --> 00:40:20,559
Speaker 2: Hats while they were locked up.

825
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: Oh yes, he was just kind of like loofy'sier, like

826
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,280
banging his head on the bars, like let me, let me,

827
00:40:27,519 --> 00:40:27,719
let me.

828
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: I already told you that is not going to work.

829
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:36,519
Speaker 1: Can you remind me exactly what happened in like this

830
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:39,599
these ending couple episodes that I didn't watch.

831
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: So uh, the last episode I got to was when

832
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,280
they escaped from the casino. But basically they were all

833
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,119
locked up and inside this cage that's made out of

834
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,119
some sort of material that's supposed to suppress double fruit

835
00:40:55,159 --> 00:41:05,920
powers an expert on that. I'm sorry, and then Crocodile

836
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:08,920
basically just left them to die. Let all of his

837
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:15,880
banana Yeah, banana gators just over there ready to have lunch.

838
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,679
And Sanji, who I thought was quite interesting because during

839
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:26,800
the meeting between all the baroque works, mister two never

840
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,639
saw Sanjy, so they do not know who Sonjy is.

841
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,719
He gave pictures he was able to mimic. I believe

842
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:40,559
usop Zoro, Loofy and Nami and VG right Chopper, but

843
00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:43,079
he was not able to mimic Soanjy because he never

844
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:46,679
got to see him. So Sonji's kind of like their

845
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:50,760
little secret where you know, they don't know, they don't

846
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,960
know he's part of the straw hat. So I believe

847
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,079
Sonjy knows that is a thing, and he tries to

848
00:41:56,199 --> 00:41:58,280
bust them out because he knows he's not gonna really

849
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,159
get caught. And you see him like in this disguise,

850
00:42:01,159 --> 00:42:02,920
he has like glasses. He's like, I'm gonna get you

851
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:03,440
guys out.

852
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: Also, we already had this, we had the mister Prince moment. Okay, yeah,

853
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,599
I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure. I didn't want to

854
00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:12,760
spoil anything. That's why I'm like, can you remind me

855
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,360
what happened to the last eleven.

856
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,639
Speaker 4: Where he beat him and Chopper beat everybody up about

857
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,119
the casino.

858
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,519
Speaker 1: Mister Price coming in to save the day. Let's go.

859
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of great moments in the castle, do you

860
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,880
remember how they got caught?

861
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: H remind me.

862
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,079
Speaker 3: It's like vip room this way, pirates this way.

863
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:37,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and then we're pirates. We have to go.

864
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:38,280
I love it.

865
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: It's so serious but also so stupid and.

866
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:43,599
Speaker 1: Like, God, I love one Piece. I also, my chat

867
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:47,760
is so fucking stupid. They're like the crocodile being Lufy's

868
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,599
mom theory and now they're like, Smoker inspired me to

869
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,480
start smoking cigarettes at the age of fourteen. No, thank

870
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:53,639
you Chat. Very cool.

871
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: No, that moment was funny because I remember Nami being.

872
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 4: Like, no, don't turn there, don't turn there, and they

873
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,679
all like got fell into the trap.

874
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,599
Speaker 2: She's like, what did I tell you?

875
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I thought that was really like interesting that

876
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,559
crocodile and Baroque don't know about Sonjy's existence, so I'm

877
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:18,880
excited to see him kind of play that role into this.

878
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,400
But I particularly liked that because the last episode I

879
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,039
watch was when they escaped and you know Smoke Smoker

880
00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:30,280
has a devil fruit power so he can't swim, and

881
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,639
the straw hats basically saved his life. They you know,

882
00:43:35,159 --> 00:43:37,920
got him out of there, and you know, the Marines

883
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,199
were all coming after them, and he just goes, you

884
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:43,480
guys saved my life, So I'm gonna let you go

885
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:44,320
just this once.

886
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 2: So I thought that was really cool.

887
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 4: Smoker is probably, you know, one of my becoming one

888
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,679
of my like top characters just because I think he's

889
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,079
also just super silly, like he he's someone who kind

890
00:43:59,079 --> 00:44:01,440
of he has one in mine. He doesn't care how

891
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,480
he's gonna do it. He's like, I must catch this

892
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,199
straw hat. It's like playing cat and mouse with him

893
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:09,039
and Loofy, And I think that's so funny because he

894
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,960
even has his little moments as well.

895
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,039
Speaker 1: Where yeah, it's interesting because he thinks all pirates are

896
00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:17,159
scum and then the one person he's trying to catch

897
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,880
is Loofy, and like time and time again, like he's

898
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,880
kind of doing decently okay things, Loofy trying to like

899
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,199
save a country and stuff like that. He's he's traveling

900
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:30,599
with the princess, so it's a it's a cool dynamic there.

901
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,760
And seeing Smoker be like, let them go.

902
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,199
Speaker 3: Is it like when you have a group of people

903
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:37,320
as big as pirates, you know there's gonna be a

904
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,199
little bit of shades of gray there, and him actually

905
00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:42,039
seeing that for a bit is like hm hmm, I

906
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:43,760
don't know. There's so many things going on in One Piece,

907
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,760
it is. It's a lot to keep up with.

908
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: I love I love hearing people talk about One Piece.

909
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:49,719
I love it so much.

910
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 2: I also want to know.

911
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 4: One of my favorite like moments during these like few

912
00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:58,519
like last like episodes of the first half was when

913
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:01,639
Zoro and Tashigi run into each other and Zoro's like,

914
00:45:01,639 --> 00:45:02,159
I'm not going.

915
00:45:02,119 --> 00:45:02,559
Speaker 2: To fight you.

916
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:05,519
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna fight you, like he's scared of her,

917
00:45:05,639 --> 00:45:08,159
even like he just doesn't want to deal with her

918
00:45:08,159 --> 00:45:11,360
because it looks like his you know, your childhood friend.

919
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,360
And I think that is so funny because she's like,

920
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,440
no fighting Zoro, we need to settle this, and he's like, no,

921
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:19,039
I am not fighting you, and he's running away from

922
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:20,039
her like a little.

923
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: Girl, just hurry up and kiss already. Goddamn.

924
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: I know.

925
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 4: I just think their dynamic is so silly because you

926
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,559
know Zoro, he's a fighter. He will throw hands and

927
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,440
he can be really serious. But with this one girl,

928
00:45:33,559 --> 00:45:35,239
he just cannot deal with her.

929
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: He's not like he's not like chivalrous like Sonjy, who

930
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,199
wouldn't want to fight a girl. Zoro would cut her down,

931
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,719
you know, maybe show her a little bit of but

932
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,159
not really. But like you just like you're just throwing

933
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,679
him off. It's throwing him off too much. I love it.

934
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: It's freaking him out, and he's just like I'm just.

935
00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: Replaced. I'm glad you're loving it, and I'm glad you'reself

936
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,079
into it. I know Jordan probably has to take off

937
00:46:03,159 --> 00:46:04,320
right around now, right, Yeah.

938
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,519
Speaker 3: I do gotta dip. But thank you guys so much

939
00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:08,519
for having me. I'm glad to hear your loving one piece.

940
00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:10,360
It's been really fun to go over again.

941
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I'm excited to keep watching.

942
00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm excited to see what you think about it.

943
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: All right, take it easy, Jordan, I'm gonna ask. I'm

944
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,000
just gonna ASKU I didn't like her final thoughts here,

945
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,079
and then we're gonna probably.

946
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 2: Call it all right, h Jordan.

947
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: I guess tell Because he was saying he had a

948
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,679
meeting or something. I'm like, I guess tell him. I

949
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:29,599
guess tell about the look on his face, like he

950
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:32,079
was he was doing some things in the background. I'm like,

951
00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:35,760
you could go, It's okay, you could go. But yeah,

952
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,800
final thoughts anything, any final moments or like final ideas

953
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,679
you want to talk about.

954
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 4: I'm just really looking forward to seeing how the rest

955
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,400
of this is gonna go down now that Crocodile is

956
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,440
going to be more involved, you know, is it going

957
00:46:51,519 --> 00:46:55,199
to be outed that Crocodile is the villain here, like

958
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,199
because everybody in.

959
00:46:56,159 --> 00:46:58,559
Speaker 2: This country is like, oh my god, he's a poor lord.

960
00:46:58,599 --> 00:47:01,480
He saves all of us from all the trouble. Like yeah,

961
00:47:01,559 --> 00:47:03,440
so I don't know if he's going to use that.

962
00:47:03,559 --> 00:47:05,519
Speaker 1: He's playing it off as the hero right now. What

963
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:07,920
could he be up to. It's really it's it's exciting.

964
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,559
It's just one of the bigger arcs for sure. I'm

965
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:14,280
glad you're enjoying it, and I think you're in Like

966
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:16,440
this was the build up. I feel like the arcs

967
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,920
starts like three episodes ago, not starts, but like that's

968
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,800
when like really starts going down right, Like they get captured,

969
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,360
Santi shows up kind of saves them. Fights are about

970
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,719
to get started soon. Like it's like the revolutionary army

971
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,559
and the are like on their way to the capitol.

972
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:34,280
Like it's crazy.

973
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the people are riled up.

974
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 4: They you know, the Bister two posed as the king

975
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,199
and you know there are people, I believe you call

976
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,559
the millions. They posed as the you know, the King's army,

977
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:49,320
and they were going into towns and going into that

978
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,039
one town and they were beating people up.

979
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:53,599
Speaker 2: So now.

980
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,159
Speaker 4: I think it's such a turning point for the entire

981
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,920
country where you know a war will be breaking out,

982
00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:02,239
and we also kind of ended off.

983
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:04,559
Speaker 2: And where the king is missing, the real kid. We

984
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:05,840
don't know where he's at.

985
00:48:06,159 --> 00:48:08,679
Speaker 4: Did he get kidnapped, did he go try to find

986
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,400
vv what is happening now? So I'm really looking forward

987
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,440
to see how the rest of this is gonna play out.

988
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,519
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, hell yeah. Honestly, like me not knowing what

989
00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:23,239
episodes you covered there, it was great. Just like hearing

990
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,920
your like your raw, like genuine like kind of like
