Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everyone at Santa mac here from anime
oupro and welcome to a new episode of the One
Piece Virgin. In this one, we are discussing the latest
five chapters. So this is not the Fresh Virgin, the
Fresh Meat Virgin that we're doing with Poseidon from Mythos,
where we're actually going through the story again from the beginning.
This is now for those of you who are caught up,
it should be obviously the title, but for those of
you who are caught up, we're talking about the latest
developments from chapters one, twenty three to twenty seven. Correct, yes, yeah,
Joining me today, I have my co host Briggs, my
usual co host.
Speaker 2: Yo, I'm so excited for Elbath but we're still not there.
Speaker 1: Rozen is in Italy right now, just enjoying himself so
he can't make it. But we got two spookster filling in.
Speaker 3: Hello, gamers, happy to be.
Speaker 1: Here, Welcome spook Spooky.
Speaker 3: This on the first day of Spooky season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, actually it is perfect time as we are
record this right now, so you know it's almost like
we planned this. We definitely didn't. We don't plan anything,
but it's almost like we did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is clearly my master plan. Spooky didn't just
come into my chat like two hours ago and I'm like,
we need a guest. Do you want to talk about
one piece? Thank you for coming to everybody?
Speaker 3: Pe Absolutely so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had, like my mom's birthday, but I can
wait one.
Speaker 3: It's one piece a couple of days. She can wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fun who celebrates on the day of nowadays?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm excited to talk about this because, yeah,
we basically ended Egghead. We had a few chapters kind
of wrapping it up, and now we are essentially we're
definitely in the albaf Arc. We're not sure exactly where
where we are, but we're in the albaf.
Speaker 2: Arc, right, Yes, I'm excited. We've been waiting like twenty
years for this. They're still not there yet. I guess
I do want to say that last chapter we ended
off just to give people, like some perspective. Emmett underlea
that like Conquers Hockey explosion, that joy Boy left a
nod in or whatever crazy it was, it was nuts.
And then they still kind of cover Egghead a little
bit in one twenty thirty because they talk about like
it's kind of like a flashback to prior to them
all all getting into the island.
Speaker 1: They basically explain how the Vega Punks were able to
trick York, right because even though she's also a Vega
Punk and should have access to their memories and everything,
they were able to still trick her because they found
out that she was she had betrayed them, yep. So
like otherwise they would not have been able to get
that message out if they didn't figure out a way
to trick her. So she's not aware that they made
the message. So then they went this through this whole
thing where they did stuff, but then they raised their
own memories, so they wouldn't even know that they prepared
the message. So because they don't know, York didn't know, right,
So it was like this whole complicated thing.
Speaker 2: I have a question, do we know why York betrayed
the other Vegapunks?
Speaker 1: Well, greed, she's good, She's greed, and she just wanted
power to herself. She wanted to become a Solas Steel Dragon.
He felt like she was. She should be the only vegapunk, Like,
why you need the other ones? If you have a
meat deal.
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, she gave up the Mother Flame
or whatever to do that, right, yes.
Speaker 2: Or part of the mother Flame, yeah, gave them and
we could assume that they use the piece of the
Mother Flame to destroy Lulucia with an ancient weapon. Right,
But then their goal was to get the rest of
the Mother Flame, And do they have that now? I
think they do.
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they didn't fully succeed, but they didn't fully
fail either. Like their main failure is because the message
got out, the vegapunk got out, and the straw Hats
aka joy Boy got away. But their main succession here
is that they did get the Mother Flame. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: I want to say they did because I know that
York is now like she's like with the elders now,
so they at least succeeded in getting her over and
like all that knowledge and everything I want to say,
since they were on Egghead, they also captured the rest
of the Mother Flame while they were there too, I
think So.
Speaker 2: I don't think it would be destroyed because it never
goes out, right, Yeah, yeah, anything else in twenty three
is this still like Egghead flashback. There's a bunch of
cool things that happened with the Gorris Saint Saturn later
on and with Vegapunk reveals, but for now, the boy,
they're just happy and they're on their way to Elbath.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we see yet kind of like the
final page is like the celebration of you know, Ousap
is there with the giants, and if anyone's excited for Albath,
it's our boy, Usap. He's the one that's been waiting
for it forever. And that's kind of it's been kind
of heartwarming. Yeah, to uh, you know, this has been
cooked up ever since.
Speaker 2: A little bit you know, shout out to Oda what's
it called? What is that? Like nine hundred chapters ago
introducing Dorian Broggy and then reshowing two more giants and
his lobby slash Water seven a few like hundred chapters later,
but then it's been what like seven hundred chapters. Like
the setup for l Bath and for like these character
interactions has been deep in the making.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's been other stuff like Saul Saul at
O'Hara and then recently us learning that Saul survived and
went back to l Bath. Right, So there's been trickles
of information and teasing and you know, and we had
a big mom connection to Elbath too, right, So it's
you know, it's been, it's been in the background, but yeah,
it's finally built up through this epic situation where I
think we're all excited to see clearly who's gonna have
to play a big role in this, right, I would
hope in this arc.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's been time, it's been Uh, you know,
I actually have a question both for you, okay about
Albath here, So something that I've noticed at least, and like,
this is just my personal opinion. If you guys don't agree,
that's completely fine, But some of my least favorite arcs
in one piece would be like fish Man Island and
and Wana right now, And for me, those are two
of the arcs that have been set up and teased
for a long long time. Like Fishman Island was also
teased like forever ago, like around the same time as Albath. Right, So,
now that we're finally getting two Lbath and like there's
been all this hype leading up to it, I'm kind
of worried that this is gonna end up being one
of like the worst arcs I just because of like
how that feels in the past.
Speaker 2: It definitely could be, because there's so many big things
going on in the world separate from this island that
I don't know if they can match that vication the expectations. One,
it's been built up for so long, but also like
there's just so much stuff happening outside of Albath, I
wonder how it's going to apply to the island or
what they're gonna even do on this arc.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually an excellent point because you know, I've
been thinking about that a lot lately too, because we
know that I'm working on a video right now about
the revolutionaries and their whole plans, and they're literally essentially
besieging Marija right now, like they're blockading, they're brocading Marigoi,
and which is obviously a first step before they actually
directly assault it. They're trying to weaken them, starve them out,
and then like you know, the next move will be
like a bigger sort of war war movement. So that's huge.
That's happening. We have Blackbeard, yep, you know, making serious,
serious moves. Yeah, and so yeah, all this Shanks obviously Sanks,
you know, setting out to get the one piece. You
have the Cross Guild and then you have the Albout stuff,
which seems at the moment disconnected. Now you could connect,
for example, Shanks and Blackbird could show up on Elbath. Yeah,
so you could connect it that way.
Speaker 2: I just hope it's not like a stop along the
way and it's not like a quick little oh we
get to see all these cool guys and like some
cool lore about like Elbath in the world and stuff.
I hope it's just not a stop along the way
and we get a good full arc prior to any
war or like other stuff going on, or like you said,
people could show up on Albath, which is also perfectly fine.
I'm okay with that. I wanted a full Albath.
Speaker 1: The other big thing, the other big thing that's happening,
of course, is we have a new gordro sa yea right.
Speaker 3: That was actually like a big thing for me is
I feel like it answers a lot of questions, or
not answers, but like prompts a lot of questions because
up to this point, I feel like Emu's just always
been kind of like in the background, but like until
we see them do anything, they don't really seem like
a threat, right, Like I kind of feel like, in
a way Dragons the same way, he's just all this
hype towards him, but he's never actually like done anything
for us to see and witness. Right, But now with Emu,
we've seen him just single handedly decide to delete an
elder for just like with a snap.
Speaker 2: Of a finger, disintegrated Saint Saturd to nothing but bones. Yo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like what kind of power is that? Like is
it only power over the elders or is that the
kind of power that you could have over like anyone.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just over the elders. If that's
just like that would be makes sense, I would hope so.
But regardless, he clearly holds some insane powers. Saint Saturn
was a was a beast and he just like replaced
them like nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like there's so many questions with that too,
because it's like, is are they elders? Because maybe it's
like Emu is able to somehow grant some sort of
pseudo immortality that he can take away at any time,
or like I've seen a lot of people speculate that
all the elders have like some sort of mythical zone, right,
but we don't actually know if it's a mythical zone
fruit like with any of them, because they've never been named.
It's only been like hint that are speculated. So like,
maybe all of their powers are some sort of ancient
power that EMU can bestow upon people without a devil fruit.
It's like some other completely separate power from devil fruits, hockey,
et cetera.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like it could be Emu's power giving
to these guys, Like it could be unrelated to devil fruits.
It could be a devil fruit, like I just I
don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why it's like, now EMU actually feels
like a real threat, and I'm excited to see more
of what they're all about as we progress in the
future here, because before I was like, you know, whatever,
there's a secret king ruling over everybody whooped Duda. But
now it actually feels like an imminent threat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've heard some interesting theories about this. This
is the idea that none of them actually have devil fruits,
because when their powers were introduced, we never got the
name of the devil fruit, just the name of that
they are, right, So you know, there's a bunch of
theories out there.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: I recently watched one on a channel called Hidden Island
about the idea that Emu may either be a devil
or may have summoned a devil, like a literal devil
inside of him, which is what allows him to bestow
demonic powers onto others. So it's not a conventional devil fruit,
rather an actual devil, perhaps a creature that helped create
the devil fruits or something like that was summoned kind
of like if you guys remember the Brook thing when
Brooke was summoned in the anime.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So on the Hidden Island video, they were suggesting that
what if this was just kind of on like a
little low Kiota hint, that such summoning rituals can actually
be successful and can actually summon an actual devil.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: I still think that. Do you guys remember after thriller Bark,
there was like a creature that, prior to Maria showing up,
was like killing ship in that area, and it's actually
near Mary Joa. There's like a creature that was hinted
at and it just never touched upon again.
Speaker 3: Is it, like I can't remember. It's like a sea beast.
Speaker 2: No, like I'll send you a screenshot after, but it's
like it's just this random creature that like has been
terrorizing waters waters for years, and it just looked like
a gigantic Emusama type thing. So maybe like those are
like devils or creatures like from back during the Voice
entry or something. So I wonder if like they're being summoned.
I don't know, just I know it has to come
back before the end of the series. It has to
come back otherwise I'm gonna lose my mind. But own
type of connection.
Speaker 1: We also did have that whole like seed Devil being
brought up way back at the beginning. Remember like the
sea Devil was the one who prevents Devil frod users
from swimming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so you know it is if it.
Speaker 1: Were to turn out to be that em devil power
has summoned the devil or is Devil, I definitely think
it's been kind of set up, Biota.
Speaker 3: I mean, now that you say it that way, yeah,
I could see it.
Speaker 1: Obviously, it should still be handled well. It should be
like if he has some kind of double power and
he started out as human, then there should be some
kind of price he had to pay or you know,
something to make it cool. Yeah, not just like oh
I'm overpowered now.
Speaker 3: So many questions, so little answers, and then.
Speaker 2: You get the screenshot of the giant creatures behind thriller bark.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's funny you say that, spooky because
it's like so many questions, so little answers. But we're
almost twelve hundred chapters in. It's not like it's not like, oh,
you know, we're it's a fresh, fresh manga, so of
course there's a bunch of questions. Like no, we were
so far in and there's still so much to.
Speaker 3: Build, knuck it crazy. But that was one of the
big highlights for me. Like, so I know, like over
the five chapters we're talking about here, Like one of
the things that I gotta point out is on the
in the last chapter. But I just gotta say, Yasop
is a bum.
Speaker 1: Yah, what a bum?
Speaker 2: They're alive the bar okay.
Speaker 3: Like shot them unprompted, all right, didn't.
Speaker 2: Say they burnt, they burn. They burnt down their fucking flag, man,
I get it.
Speaker 3: But they already beat.
Speaker 2: Them up, Like.
Speaker 1: I think it was like they destroyed their ship to
send a message to them, but also to the world,
who's gonna probably gonna learn. You know, these ships burned
up and it was Shanks right. So I think they
sent that message, but I don't think they killed them,
especially after bartolameos like test of loyalty to Loufy. Like
I'm sure Shanks was about to cry when he saw them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was probably so happy. But at the end
of the day, it's like, because now he's happy, he's
gonna let him go. And yes, disagreed. It's like you
gottaut you gotta hold it down.
Speaker 3: See I I see what you're saying the world. It
had nothing to do with the world. No, it did
not know it did not was like, Yo, this guy
is the biggest fan of my son's crew. Fuck that kid.
He wants to spend a message to Oosop and Osop alone. Okay,
that guy's a bum.
Speaker 2: That is so funny.
Speaker 3: Hate him. He's the worst father since Zeus exactly. He
could have redeem himself. He could say, dang, my son's
got some fans. He must be cool. I want to
meet that kid. Nah, he says, you know, we gotta
kill this guy. He's a fan of my son. Get
him out of here, Yeah, sick of them.
Speaker 2: We also go through everything VV and Morgan and fucking Wopple.
You know they're they're up in.
Speaker 3: The sky, right, yeah, I forgot about Morgan is.
Speaker 2: Ready to tell tell the world about terrible news and
he's She's like, don't lie. He's like, yeah, I guess
I don't need to lie. It's already terrible anyway, Like
the world's gonna end. And you get a cool comment.
Speaker 1: Where Morgan's is just jizzing at this whole prospect. Yeah,
just like, oh my god, Yeah, the world is sinking
and I'm a bird and I can make money reporting
about the world.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, the world is the world is yeah,
And Dragon points out that like it's interesting that Mary
Mary Joe is on the highest of high ground, right, yeah,
they're they're safe. And he also points out that like
people are going to be fighting for specific land and
high ground now, like it's not going to be calm
and and sophisticated and handled with care, Like the world's
gonna start panicking or people will panic.
Speaker 3: It also like go ahead, you know, you go ahead.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: It also opens up like a big question of like
what the one piece world used to be, Like if
we ever get a look at like the Void century, Like,
I guarantee you most of the one piece world was
probably like not even like a watery planet. It was
probably mostly land. But as the fighting just kept going
and going, that just brought the need for everyone to
go out to see because the world just sunk so much.
So I guarantee you there's so many like old civilizations
just underneath the see that nobody knows about except for
probably like some fishmen and YadA YadA. But so like
now at this point, now that they know that the
water's rising, the high points are where everyone's gotta go.
And at some point, like everything's gonna be sunk if
it ends up going that route.
Speaker 2: And I feel like Vegapunk's plan was kind of to
be like, let's get make a bunch of sky islands.
Everyone can live in the sky.
Speaker 1: Which is that Do you think that was? I think
that was part of the plan because he definitely he
definitely like created the ability to make sky islands. But
the question is whether you know that it's enough to
hiuse everyone and like support them like food wise or
stuff like that. But I do, I do. I did
think it was interesting that it was confirmed that to
Kill a Wolf and three other bridges were being built
because of the flooding, right because you know, we theorize that,
But they also don't see nearly as high as the
red line at the same time, right, So, so I
was wondering whether they would be high enough to survive
the flooding, But clearly they will, because that's kind of
the point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there are like quite a
bit above sea level at the very least.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. I mean, like otherwise why would they bother
building them?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: True, mm hmm.
Speaker 3: It's also kind of crazy too, how like you know,
like it's I think it's Any's lobbies right where it's
like the big drop off or is, because like Any's
lobbies built on top of like the whole the sinkhole, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It looks exactly like the one from Lulucia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like that's the only one we know about, right,
And if like this ancient weapon has been firing how
many times in the past, like, there's got to be
more of those two.
Speaker 1: Yes, So that's that's my question too, because it was
implied that this weapon was used many times during devoids entry,
right Yeah. But then I was thinking, if it leaves
a hole every time, shouldn't there be like hundreds?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that means like a the world's a gigantic place
and it's and it's huge, right. I can imagine like
if you're a ship and you're like, oh, it's a
fucking hole, let's get away from it. It's not like
I don't know if it's gonna be it's like groundbreaking news.
Speaker 3: I don't know, because I feel like maybe the reason
why Any's lobby is built there is kind of like
to cover up whatever whatever it is, the remnants below
or something. But I don't know. It seems like they
would be more prominent throughout the world unless because like
what we know about the other ancient weapons offhand, like
it's been a minute since I've refreshed my memory on it,
but I don't think like they have that same power
in the slightest right.
Speaker 2: Well, what are the ancient weapons we have? That one
that could destroy Lucia? Do we know what that's called?
Speaker 3: Isn't it's I don't know? Offhand?
Speaker 1: Well, that should be Urinus.
Speaker 2: Because we know.
Speaker 1: Uranus is the sky, the embodiment of the sky in
Greek mythology. So assuming you know that weapon is from
the sky. It makes sense. He hasn't been confirmed, but
it makes sense that it would be that. And poseided
is the water weapon.
Speaker 2: Of U.
Speaker 1: The Neptunians, and then it's and Pluton is supposed to
be a battleship.
Speaker 2: And it's bulow Wana Pluton correct allegedly. Yes, did we
get to see it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I know Frankie knows how to build one, supposedly,
But which is weird that you can rebuild an ancient weapon,
like they're kind of like if if you could, wouldn't
that kind of defeat the purpose of having to protect
it for nine hundred years?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, a skilled ship right with the
materials could do it. I don't know. I do think
that like they should all be relatively equal in strength.
I know this one seems crazy, like a white bouted island,
but imagine being able to control like all the sea
kings and like, I know, like we see like Loofy
punch out of sea King like in early episodes, and
like the boys wiped them out pretty quickly. But imagine
like the biggest of biggest sea kings like and being
able to control hundreds and hundreds and hundreds creating an army.
I don't think people could.
Speaker 3: Stop that, especially not when everybody has to be on
the scene.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I know, it's it's hard to think, Like,
how can an admiral or an a vice admiral lose
to sea kings that will never happen infinite sea kings
and swim one thousand of them.
Speaker 3: You can't swim you're drowning.
Speaker 2: Gig one million billion lions, okidding, or every Pokemon.
Speaker 1: It's funny how all of the weapons would become even
more powerful in a flood situation, because obviously, you know,
controlling the sea kings, having a huge battleship, or having
a flying ship like all of that seems to be
more powerful in a world that's just flooding.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: The Noah also has to be used at some point,
right once the flooding happens, I'm sure Shirahoshi and the
and the Noah will come and try to save people.
I guess it wasn't completely destroyed if I remember correctly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so. I think it's just sunk,
But like, I don't know, they could find a way
to get it up again.
Speaker 1: Probably, I'm guessing Noah has to be pulled up by
the seeking Yeah, almost like almost like horses and water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they kind of did in the like
in Fishman Island, like they were holding it by the chains,
and they only did it for Shirahoshi. But their job
was to keep the Noah safe until some certain day,
which we assume is the day of the flooding or
the day the world sinks. So I think that that
definitely has to happen. They've been guardian for this long.
I feel like it's inevitable. Just to get back to
the chapters, we got a cool conversation between the two admirals.
I just liked seeing Sakazuki actually be like, I'm sorry brother,
just because you get to see him what's his fucking name,
Borsellino actually like have emotions and care for once. Clearly
he was friends with Vega Punk and helped him in
the past, so like him, following these orders was really
hard for him, but he still got the job job
done and killed them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very sad, but.
Speaker 2: It's cool seeing that Sakazuki is actually a human with
emotions and not just like justice fucking.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I really, you know, feel bad
for him under the circumstances, because no, I don't either, Like, look,
look what a piece of shit Saturn was, and he
chose to obey Saturn over you know, his friends, So
you know, I don't really feel sympathy for him, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just I neither do I. But just
for the most part, I like to see the fact
that they're like they're human characters. Borsolino is like upset
and crying, uh, Sakazuki actually like come him a little bit,
and it's like these guys are following their job no
matter what. But it's cool to see that they had
like the after effects of it at least.
Speaker 3: It definitely it shows his respect for him too, because
like with everyone else we've seen, especially like around Marine Ford,
like Sakazuki just didn't give any like he didn't give
a crap about anybody. It was just all we have
to get this mission done. Like he was ready to
just take out Kobe for no reason, just like yo,
if you're gonna be my way, dog Gigi, see you later.
But you can tell that like just even reaching out
to comfort him and try to understand his feeling shows
he has like a lot of respect for him as
a marine. Mm hmm onlike every like tons of other
marines for that matter.
Speaker 2: How do you guys feel about the Vega Punks being alive?
Speaker 3: They gets a little bit of a cop out personally,
but they're genius so if they can find a way
to uh to live on through robots like that makes sense.
Speaker 2: To like the brain is safe so that they're that
means like their consciousness can still survive through technology or whatever.
Lilith is also alive.
Speaker 1: It does make sense because they were always artificial creatures, right,
and they always had like their brain backed up on
the cloud right. Yep, Oh, it does make sense. And
Stella isn't back right like the main Vega Punk.
Speaker 3: Uh, which one was Stella? Again?
Speaker 1: Well, Stella is like the old guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Gone, but yeah it's gone.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, there still was a loss.
His mind is still there. So it does make sense.
I guess it depends what what Oda does with it.
Like if he never does anything with them being alive
and they're just kind of like they're floating in the sky,
then it's kind of like why. But if they come
into play again later in the final arcs and stuff then,
and it's in a good way that I'm for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like they kind of have to, like
after the Marines but like tried to come kill them.
I feel like now they just have to take an
obvious side of everyone else, the revolutionaries, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might not even be for combat or fighting
or war or anything like that. It could just be
like now they're going to use their their consciousness and
that technology to try to build like sky islands for
people to live on. Yeah, because there might there's not
going to be enough land or enough ships, and then
probably not the Noah can't get to everyone, so there
could be that it's like through his last will, trying
to save more people from like what he contributed to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, use his genius for good exactly, only good.
Speaker 2: I do feel like it's a little annoying after like
the sacrifice that was made. But at the same time,
like Nim said, because of the cloud, like it's always
been there, it makes sense. It's not a complete it's
not an asshole.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I just think it takes away from the
sacrifice a little bit, Like the.
Speaker 2: Impact this is this isn't well you know, Yeah, that's
a fucking assphole.
Speaker 3: Bullshit. There's another certain person who turns out is alive
when we all thought they were dead. Mister Garp, Garp's alive, true?
Speaker 1: True? Oh, I mean I never for a second thought
he wasn't.
Speaker 3: I just assumed that, like this was gonna be his
his last moment. But you know, it is one piece
people who don't think that, in.
Speaker 1: My opinion, it can be a last one because he
still hasn't like confront the Dragon about their whole split, right,
Like I guess, like, why was the Dragon a marine
who ended up becoming the biggest enemy of the world
government and his own father is a vice admiral, Like,
I think there needs to be some resolution there.
Speaker 3: I agree. I think it's more just like I'm kind
of jaded about Dragon these days, just because you know,
he probably was introduced in what like chapter fifty, and
he's only ever just like stared off into the distance
with a grumpy look on his face. I want to
see the man do something already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same, I agree, he's strategizing, he is doing something,
he's prepping. But it's just like you think there would
have been more things shown up until this point, and
this wouldn't be the first fight he's in is like
the endgame war or whatever, like because he's setting up
with like the shortages of Mary Joa and like keeping
food away from them, and we know it's gonna lead
to some type of endgame here, but it's just like
the first time we see him fight, it's gonna be
like in the endgame.
Speaker 3: Is crazy to me, Yeah, Like it's just mainly kind
of like Animax said, where you like you want to
see that that resolution. It's like they're taking so long
to even show us like any of the uh, any
of the sparks that lit that fire in the first place,
like we had, we just have so little to go on.
Speaker 2: True, very true. Also, the boys are celebrating as they escape.
Egghead Lufy's happy because he realizes Vega Punks aren't completely
dead and they are cheersing with hallucinogetic alcohol.
Speaker 3: They're going they're having quite the party, not the usual party.
Speaker 2: And there's also one dude in the very bottom left corner.
Is that Shanks? No, I don't know, I don't know.
I'm looking at looking at here of chapter twenty four.
I'm trying to remember who this was. I had a
theory on who it was, but now I can't The.
Speaker 3: Theory there was that it was Loki, right, Oh you know,
I don't know if I even like took a second
to think of who that would be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was. It was kind of like I
was hearing the theory that could be low key kind
of looking from Elbaf hmmm, because we saw Loki's shadow
and he's like this big chubby guy, right, we saw
it before mm hmm, and he's the king of Albath.
So the idea was that it maybe that's shame and
he is a trickster, right, Loki was a trickster in
Norse mythology, so you know, the whole hallucinogenics and stuff,
and like what happens later with the Lego land it
kind of makes sense him.
Speaker 3: Sure, I think that's a good, good speculation.
Speaker 2: Just kind of moving on. I think we covered everything
in these chapters more or less. We get to see
that Garling or Garlan is he's replaced. He's replacing Saint
Sata basically, right, like he's a member of the Grace.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like that's where like it all like we
were talking about earlier. It's like whatever power Musama, Yeah,
I Musama. Granted, like maybe he has it now or
maybe he has a completely different one, maybe he always
had one.
Speaker 1: I did think it was really interesting how when Saturn
loses his position, he also like kind of like ages
and dissolves into like you see almost it's almost like
you've seen Emu's power leaving him and he just kind
of like ages and dies into a skeleton. Right, So
that definitely implies that the immortality comes from Emu's power
rather than for the perennial youth operation per se, right,
because that's the big theory that he might come from
the perennial Youth operation that they performed multiple times on
multiple quarto set. But this would suggest that it was
specifically Emu's power that kept him a living for so
long and obviously gave him his abilities, and as soon
as the power was taken from him, he turned into
a skeleton.
Speaker 3: That was it, yep, And he can just remotely take
it away at any time.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're assuming that the power that was taken
away caused him afterwards to eight and die, so he
was giving him some level of like immortality. We're assuming that,
but it's not like not for sure, just because that
could have just been his power, like a power EMO
used on him, like that's how strong he is. That
would be ridiculous though.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's all because because they're on the other side
of the world.
Speaker 3: Too, right, Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but maybe there was like some type of
contract that's been signed between them or something. I don't know,
but I have a demon contract.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely wondering now what kind of power Garling has
because you know, presumably he now will also have a yeah, demonic,
legendary zone type, mythical zone type power yep, but it
could be a totally different one. Yeah, it's totally different
yokai or mythical creature or whatever. So that'll be interesting
to see.
Speaker 3: It also like makes me wonder if maybe there's a
reason why there's only five Elders specifically, because like Garland
could have been a sixth Elder this entire time really
if you think about it, So like maybe EMU is
only able to bestow this kind of power to five
people and that's the limit, right, Yeah, so it's kind of.
Speaker 1: Like a limitation on this overpowered thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like otherwise it's like obviously you don't want
too many cooks in the kitchen, but like, if you
can have more people who are like trying to lock
down the world like this, Like I don't know what
I'm trying to say, Like if you could have more elders,
like why would you only stop with five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're right, And if you could have like hundreds,
then you know it would be Gg's like what else
are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. It would make sends to give
him a limit, for sure. How do you guys feel
about this legal hallucinogenic land with change of outfits? What
do you guys have any theories about this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Not yet, go ahead though it could be.
Speaker 1: Some people are saying it could be like just like
a hallucination because of the alcohol, the green fairy alcohol.
Other people think, like I'm thinking it could be some
kind of low key induced power, like maybe he, you know,
him being a trickster, he has some kind of devil
food or something that makes people hallucinate, or or at
least he sets up these elaborate traps.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because the sunny has gone. The sunny
has gone. They clearly went somewhere. It could be a
combination of both. It could be like this is low
Key's attack on them while they're also fucking on drugs. Yeah,
so whatever monsters they're fighting or whoever they're fighting might
not look what they're looking like what they're saying.
Speaker 1: I will think that you forgot to mention that in
chapter one twenty five we had dragging looking off into
the distance.
Speaker 2: At the end, bro Dragon is doing nothing as.
Speaker 3: Bar in West.
Speaker 1: He did say that now they have to act because
soon Pele, now that people have heard the message of
Waga Punk, they will start panicking about fighting for safer
ground like higher ground. So and I I'm talking about
this in my video that I'm working on now in
their revolutionaries. But basically this could be a huge opportunity
for the revolutionaries or it could be a disaster. So
if they can rally people not to their cause and
say it's still not too late, we can destroy the
world government and stop the flooding, they could get a
whole bunch of people on their side because they're like,
this is the only way to stop the flooding. We
have to help the revolutionaries destroy the world garment. But
if they don't act now and people just start panicking,
every man for himself trying to fight for higher ground
and stuff. Then there the people, instead of fighting the
world government together are just gonna destroy each other. Right,
So it's like a key moment for the revolutionaries.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm hoping we get to see more with that too.
But like the fact that we're in ELBAF now, I
feel like this is gonna be one of those things
that we don't hear about for like another fifty chapters,
one hundred chapters. Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1: And then it's like we get a little recap yep, and.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, hey, we're back eighty. Here's going on
the other parts of.
Speaker 2: The Wagan's doing something but not really looking west. Everyone's panicking.
Everyone's panicking. He was supposed to do something, but he's
not doing anything.
Speaker 3: He's still looking west.
Speaker 2: He's still looking west. And yeah, stop is still a bum.
Speaker 3: Yeah, always a bum. No, I'll never get over it.
But I know part of me like also wonders with
l BAF two if like maybe this isn't like maybe
they've already been on ELBAF for a significant amount of time.
I'm but for whatever reason, through like you know, these
drugs or some other means, like they just have like amnesia,
so like like they've like what if they've already been
on Elbath for like months, Like how would you know?
Speaker 1: It's like a hangover movie where the whole trying to
remember what the fuck they did.
Speaker 3: I could, honestly, that could be. There's a way you
could do that, right, because I don't know everyone's already dressed,
like everyone like they don't know where the sunny is
there they got to find the rest of the crew,
Like maybe they've already been there for so long they
just don't remember.
Speaker 2: I just wish like I could understand like the paneling
a little bit better, Like sometimes like I see this
gigantic tree in the same page as like them fighting,
but it's like a slightly different panel. It's like, are
they on l BAF and they're just like high as
fuck and Loki fucking with them on the other end,
feel like.
Speaker 3: They gotta already be on This is not l BAF.
I'm losing.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure this is Albath, right, But they got
there before, they somehow got there before Dorian Broggy and
the other giants. But when they get there, they would
they would you would assume they would see the sunny,
So I think that's coming up soon, like that kind
of that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Either that or like again, maybe they've already
been there for a long time and like the Sonny
is just somewhere elsewhere doing whatever, Like maybe they've already
docked with Broggy and and yeah.
Speaker 2: It's true as possible as possible. All right, do you
guys want to end with some final thoughts about these chapters?
How we're joining enjoying, how you're currently enjoying one Piece?
Speaker 3: Absolutely well so far. I think Egghead has been one
of my favorite arcs in a while. So finishing up
Egghead has been just a joy. I feel like every
single week, I've just always been up every week or
other week whenever there's a break, just been so pumped
to actually read one Piece again. I feel like in Wana,
for the longest time, it just felt like a drag.
But Egghead was just NonStop, pedal to the metal every chapter.
Speaker 2: It was very fastly paced as well, like Wana was
going on for like four years, right, And I think
I do like Wana. I think it's a good arc.
It's not one of my favorites by any means. I'm
not a gigantic fan of Kaido. But for the most part,
I do Likejuano, and I think if I were to
reread it in like one sitting or rewatch it in
one sitting or a couple sittings, whatever, I think it
would be a better experience than reading it weekly for
like four years, you know, agreed.
Speaker 1: True, But at the same time, I do think that
Wano dragged on, and I'm someone who loves the mysteries
in one piece and but also really wants to get
some damn answers already.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for that Egghead was amazing because we got so much,
so much more answered in one arc than we did
in like who knows how many arcs before that. So
I also really liked Egghead because of that. And obviously
you know, Saturn and Old of Gordo se being the
main villains, the main fight villains and seeing their powers, Like, yeah,
to me, that beats Kaido. Sorry, Like it was cool
in his dragon form and obviously Gear five and all that,
but leading up to that, it was a long slog
and I think egg Kad was much more better paced
and so much more information revealed. And yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Like also returning characters too, like Lucci for instance, like
just so many great things about it. I don't know,
it was just very refreshing, and like, I hope that
Elbaf kind of like keeps that same level of pacing
and reveals and just keeps that momentum going, because I
feel like ever since wan Oh ended, like like Animak
was saying, it's just all this information is coming to light,
so many different reveals, pacing has been great, and I
really hope that like Oda finally is like Okay, I
got to get this shit moving, and it just keeps
going until the end of one piece, or at least
through l Bath. I hope it kind of keeps that
same momentum.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm on the same page as you guys. I
loved Egghead. I can't wait to see it animated because
it's so many cool fights and so many great reveals
that I would love to see, not just in manga format.
I am super pumped for Albath. Have We've been waiting
a million years for it. I hope it meets our
expectations or at least comes close. I still think that
random creature after thriller bark In, like the Florian Triangle,
has some connection to Imusama, and if it doesn't or
or nothing comes of it, I'll be mad. And other
than that, like I'm just excited for more one piece boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be hard to
switch off from you know, the Gordos say and the
new Gordo say and em woo all the ship we
learned about that and just kind of go to something
completely different now. So it's not gonna be easy to
keep us entertained if that's the case. So if we're
not gonna see Emu and Gorsa for a while, but
we could get potentially some sort of revolutionaries versus EMU
side battle in Marija while we're getting al mav So
we'll see, we'll see. There's a lot of potential.
Speaker 2: True, yea, very true. Also, guys, it's a heads up.
Next week we have we're going back to the one
piece Virsion with Poseidon covering Barratier, So stay tuned for that. Everyone.
Check out too Spooky on YouTube two Spookster on Twitch.
I think you're gonna have your platform. You could find him.
Look for the Spooky dode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just just find Spooky, that's all you need
to find. I'll be there probably probably probably.
