- Fpos/cs: Giants from Enies Lobby/Water 7 are going back to their home island! Good for them!
- Straw Hats are sailing off too. Lots of waving and goodbyes :) Chopper, that’s dangerous, get off that railing, you can’t swim (I really like Sanji’s shirt, it looks so comfy)
- “Thanks for the sun!” :D
- Oh? Narrator is telling some spooky story about Florian’s Triangle
- But before I’ll start typing all of it for no reason, let’s figure out what I know about the arc we’re getting into.
Nothing. I know nothing. Not even the name. (I’ll give it a few chapters before I One Piece Wiki this, just because)
I mean, I saw some spoilers for what probably happens in that part of the story but it’s more of a “Ace is here, Prison Time, MIHAWK!???” type of thing. What I want to say, up to Thriller Bark I knew nothing but I felt like I was going right to the “Nothing Happened” moment in a “holding a rope” kind of way. Now I’m swimming in a soup of facts and probably-spoilers, and feeling as lost as Zoro on a straight road. I don’t even know where we are going, not for sure.
I have exactly ONE understanding here: New World is coming and it will be a complete disaster. Let’s find out in what way.
- Alright, Triangle Narration
- “Nobody knows what occurs in the mysterious sea called the “Florian Triangle”” aliens
- “Every year, 100 passing ships disappear into the depths of the mist.” You know, it’s actually weird. Grand Line is known for its inconsistency, constant weather change and different climates but Florian Triangle just. Always has mist. Whatever happens, mist everywhere. Weird
- “It has been a mystery long before the Giant Pirate ship, Thriller Bark, arrived in that sea 10 years ago.” Hm
- “It is fortunate that the white mist hangs over today, as well… concealing the sea’s bizarre face with a white veil.” Wow, ok, you have my attention
- There really IS something in that stupid fog. Something Big. Hey, Something Big, touch Hobo Pirates with your evil vibes and I’ll touch your face with my fist, thank you and goodbye
- But Straw Hats are out of the mist for good and are planning what next arc will be about
- Apparently, it won’t be about rescuing Ace???? Were my sources wrong????
- Luffy, you’re being a very little brother right now and I respect that
- Yeah, he think Ace will be fine cause that’s his adventure. It kinda makes me worry to be honest, that’s so very not like every other shounen ever it makes me nervous
- Meanwhile, LET’S HAVE A PARTY! Not everyday do you welcome a walking skeleton/musician into your crew :D
- Place change!! We’re in Holy Land!! Politics!!
- (Mark it as only time I was excited about politics ever)
- “What do you mean, they ran away!?” oho, Kuma is getting a scolding
- He takes it like a champ
- Garp is there too! Hey Grandpa
- Should I remember Sengoku’s name or…
- “Don’t tell me you took pity on a injured pirates” well, yes, but he was also super impressed by literary everything that happened, I think we can agree at that
- (he also mentioned Dragon. Who thinks Kuma’s a double agent? *raises hand*)
- (I suddenly want him to be a good guy, ignore me)
- Huh. Straw Hats will go right by Marine Headquarters, so marines will just wait for them now
- With Straw Hats again
- What the hell is Grand Line, this is ridiculous
- ‘Several days later’ “We made it…” made it where
- “We are halfway done! The Twin Capes, where we met Laboon, are on the other side of the sea and connected to this wall!” I discovered that the older I get, the less I understand geography. And One Piece maps just don’t make sense to me. We’re halfway, cool, don’t tell me anything else
- Oh wow
- They’re at the Red Line
- Wow
- (That’s just. A wall. A Gigantic wall. A ‘Stops clouds like nobody’s business’ wall. Wow)
- Straw Hats are so happy :D They’re remembering how they entered Grand Line (apparently Franky came from South Blue as a kid. We have a whole set, guys, all seas residents in one crew)
- I understand there’s The New World behind that wall. How will they get there?
- Zoro!
- “I must become stronger! I’m still too weak!” jezz, Zoro
- If you’re weak then what are we
- ! Luffy, Robin and Brook are in a submarine
- They’re looking for a way in of course
- Oh, they don’t know how to get to Fishman Island. Right, it’s underwater
- Sea monster
- ??? It spit something out when Luffy punched it
- Woooo A mermaid! And a friend!
- Sanji is so happy :D
- The mermaid is named Camie! That’s the same mermaid we saw in fpos/cs long, long ago!
