time for some post arc shenanigans!
Oh he was on the lookout for some first class booty (shanks)
I love how we're seeing nami actually talk to luffy about who he is as a person and how much his hat means to him and hes just like "its not so bad". but he wears his emotions on his sleeve its so obvious that if affects him but he's not gonna put that on his friends, so he just hides that pain from nami
luffy has one braincell i love him. hes so honest there is no thought about consequences for his actions. nami thinks of the worst possible thing for luffy to say and he says it
I love how much the villagers care about boodle. if there was one aspect about one piece that i love the most that i think no other piece of media can match its the humanity, that sense of comradery and belonging with your people.
zoro just laughing as they are getting chased away he and luffy are soulmates
i love this panel so much raghghg
god i love that luffy is able to recognize the way the people love boodle its just ahggh i love one piece
AWWW I FORGOT CHOUCHOU PROTECTED THEM I LOVE YOU CHOUCHOU YOU HAVE MY WHOLE HEART AND SOUL
luffy being impressed by nami's ship <3
god these buggy pirates trying to intimidate nami and luffy then holding up zoro's head is such a funny bit while using what oda had set up this arc comedically to the fullest
TBSkyen has a very good analysis of this sequence of panels on his yt page (my analysis and decision to reread one piece is heavily inspired by him so go watch all of his videos theyre amazing) about the way boodle runs to the docks and drops all of his armor and how he's finally free of buggy's torment on their town
this made me tear up i love one piece. boodles face is so genuine and hes so thankful for everything luffy had done for him aghgghg hes just a side character but this is what one piece is about
nami physically harassing luffy while zoro's laughing in the background is such a dynamic i love the romance dawn trio
