I'm caught up on the manga now...
But at what cost?
Ok so this just happened today:
I may have just started collecting but I know that's a secret rare, which I could only DREAM of having before today because generally my luck's pretty bad in my opinion, and it's of my favorite character of all time!!!
I am LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW.
Needless to say, he is now safely in both a sleeve and a card holder.
I have done a Thing™️
Couldn't find Ace's hat ANYWHERE near me, so decided "fuck it, I'll make my own... And Sabo's while I'm at it"
(Sabo cosplay coming soon... Right after I find out how to get his stupid cravat lmao)
I would definitely like to see Sabo's hat when you're done!! =D
You're in luck, then, because I just finished it today! Here you go:
I got most of the materials from my local Michael's (except the clear plastic that I used for the lenses, that was repurposed from an OPTCG illustration box I opened recently), and frankly I'm super proud of how it turned out! I'm also super proud of the hat itself for sticking around for so long, seeing as I've had it for like seven or eight years by now lmao!
(I did not make the straw hat in the picture, that I bought, but I can't not put the brother's hats right by each other lol - when it's done, I'll add Ace's hat to the pile)
Update: I'm out of Wano in the manga, and officially on Egghead!
Luffy's Gear Five had me SCREAMING, I can see why everyone was so hyped three years ago when it was animated!!
If Sabo dies then I swear to the gods I will Not Be Okay, please Oda let Luffy keep at least ONE older brother
It hurts but I HAD TO.
Update: I have finished up to 1021 in the One Piece Manga! Less than 200 chapters to go, and I'll have caught up completely!
And OH MY GOD, THE WANO ARC IS AMAZING.
Robin is TEN TIMES HOTTER in her demon form (and she was hot before)!
The whole crew is so much COOLER after WCI (and personally, I LOVE SANJI'S RAID SUIT)!
Ace is still a knife in my heart - every time he shows up I say to myself "Why'd you have to go and die, you idiot"!
Sanji bandaging Zoro was hilarious, frankly
I love the recurring gag of the disgust face they all make at some point - it's hilarious!
And finally...
LUFFY CAN CONTROL CONQUEROR'S HAKI NOW???? OH MY GOD?????
Update: I'm so obsessed with the One Piece Manga that I'm now at Wano!!!!!
I've heard LOTS of good things about this arc, so frankly, I'm excited - it also means I've got less than 300 chapters left before I completely catch up to the manga! After that, it's gonna be my goal to catch up to the anime - if I can do it before Elbaph finishes running I'll be happy, but honestly I'm just impressed that I'm gonna catch up to the manga soon!
And yeah, WCI destroyed me. Can't wait to see Sanji's Raid Suit, though - that's gonna be sick AF, I bet lol
I love Ace so much, his self-hatred is such an interesting topic because outwardly you would never be able to tell that this man wishes he were dead while only living for everyone but himself
Update: All the way up to Chapter 843 now in the One Piece manga - that's the Whole Cake Island arc!
And let me tell you, I don't think I'm going to survive this arc...
I've been crying on and off for a while now.
Every time I see Ace or Sabo (even on the chapter cover arts)? I'm crying.
Sanji leaving the crew? Yup, cried there too.
Sanji's childhood (which, frankly, is putting it far too nicely)? Oh, you best BELIEVE my eyes are STILL stinging.
And I'm just READING THIS HAPPENING. Seeing it animated is going to be ten times worse.
I've never been this emotional before when it comes to a piece of media - Oda-sensei is a GENIUS when it comes to writing!

in case you needed to hear it today:
it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re changing lanes
it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re taking an exit
it’s okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you’re about to turn)
you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.
you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal
Update: I've just finished Chapter 792 of the One Piece manga.
So now I know Law's story... And yes, I did cry. A lot.
And then cried some more when Sabo showed up. Honestly, when it comes to the ASL brothers, I doubt I'll ever be able to see Sabo or Ace and NOT cry.
But man, Sabo using Fire Fist... So cathartic! And I've recently started collecting some of the One Piece TCG cards, so some of the moments in the manga I recognize in my collection! That's pretty cool, ngl.
So I'm taking a quick break from the anime to read the manga so that I can compare the pacing...
I'm currently on chapter 745, which is the Dressrosa arc...
And I've FINALLY MET SABO.
Remember way back in Marineford, when I said I loved Sabo, even though I had just been traumatized by 483?
Nothing has changed. I still love Sabo. I have been crying for the past five minutes over him getting Ace's devil fruit and using his SIGNATURE MOVE in the span of thirty seconds.
Ace is still my favorite of all time, but now second place has a definitive winner... And it's Sabo.
Which, yes, places Luffy at third... Hey, they're not called the ASL brothers for nothing.
One Piece Review: Punk Hazard: As of Episode 594
If I do take another break at some point during this series, it's not gonna be for a while, cuz I'm having way too much fun right now!
Woohoo, finally got to the Luffy-Law alliance!!
I see why people ship them together now, if I'm being honest. Zosan still appeals to me juuust a little more, but I see it.
That said... Law's scandalized face when they tied Chopper to his hat was HILARIOUS!!
Also, I love it when he seems to realize that he made a mistake in making his alliance with Luffy... But it's too late for him now, he's friends with Luffy whether he wants to be or not lmao
Sidenote: Tying Chopper to the sword is more than a little adorable. Chopper in general is adorable, but I didn't think I needed to see him being carried around like a little keychain until today.
One Piece Review: Punk Hazard: Episode 586
A quick rundown of my reaction to Law using his ability these past two episodes:
Law: "Room."
Me: Crap.
Man, he really is a creep... Messing with people's HEARTS? Damn. (Still love him, though.)
The Straw Hats figuring out they switched bodies was HILARIOUS, not gonna lie.
So was the other group of Straw Hats (so, Robin, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro) stealing the former Brownbeard Pirates' clothes. I was laughing so hard that if my parents had been home they probably would have been concerned, but it was just so FUNNY!
Usopp really is the only relatively normal person on the crew now, isn't he, lol
Also, shout out to (now Vice-Admiral I guess, good for him) Smoker for FINALLY giving a short and simple explanation of Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, that really clears things up (and sates my curiosity, at least for a little bit)
One Piece Review: Punk Hazard: As of Episode 585
As promised, we're back with more One Piece! Waited till episode 585 purely for a certain Trafalgar D. Water Law ☺️
Woohoo, super excited to be seeing more of him! Only took, like, a hundred episodes, but it was WORTH IT!
Still don't quite know what's up with his Devil Fruit (and I know it'll probably be explained in Dressrosa, which is, like, one arc away from me, but I'm impatient dammit)
Honestly, though, as soon as I saw the samurai and how he was split up but not bleeding I knew Law was gonna show up - his power's so interesting that I'd recognize it anywhere
Love how all the Straw Hats (and the kids) come busting out of the front door, completely ignore the Marines until Sanji notices, and then they all run back inside, leaving a shocked Smoker, Tashigi, AND LAW - what a great way to announce your presence to the people you wanna AVOID lmao
