- huh, character page looks totally different. There’s no Shanks, for once, and it looks like the whole volume will be a Flashback Fest.
At least we know where each of Straw Hats are. Look at that:
Neat (except that Zolo nonsense)
- aww, Magellan and Hannyabal on the cover. I hope Magellan is doing better now, he wasn’t well after that break-out
- wow, humble beginnings of a Gum-Gum Pistol
- lol
- but it’s so nice they train together :)
- children so strong :D
- Narration kicked in, they mention Trash Mountain
- “Another city lies even father north but a huge stone wall blocks the road” wall? *intense Trump flashbacks* put it back, I don’t want it
- “Look! The trash is here! Let’s go treasure hunting!” – Supernatural fandom
- so city is more miserable than a trash mountain?
- “Trash hunters patrol the street” I’m starting to think living in the jungle is a better deal here
- lol, our boys did the “three kids in a trenchcoat” trick :D
- “And in the middle of that, surrounded by a high stone wall, is the highland, where the royal family and the aristocrats live.” Wow. Now I’m thinking Attack of Titan
- “This is the Kingdom of Goa. Thought to be the most beautiful land of the East Blue, it is spotlessly clean. It is considered a successful example of a society where everything unnecessary is removed.” Lies, all of it, aristocrats are still here. Give it a century or two and they’ll have their Red October :(
- so Windmill Village is in the Goa Kingdom but is super isolated? Good for Luffy I think, he had few years of normal childhood
- our kids are wreaking havoc. I kinda wish they didn’t go to the city, especially as CD are supposed to be here too
- “Sabo? Sabo! Wait! You’re alive! Come back home!” “!!” …what?
- “Who is that guy?” “Must have mistook me for somebody else!” LIEEEES give me the drama
- back in the jungle. Now Sabo is facing an interrogation :D
- “You sure you want to have secrets between us? TALK” THE DRAMA
- ! :D
- “You’re the son of an aristocrat?” “I am.” “…so?” …children these days
- “Both my parents are still alive. I’m no orphan. I wasn’t even born on Trash Mountain. That guy back there was my father.” Then why… are you here, Sabo? I mean, how did it even happen?
- “Why would an aristocrat run off to live at Trash Mountain?” right?
- is that a flashback inside a flashback. Did I fall into Naruto Universe
- oh, parents with ambitions. Horrible
- A knife? Yikes
- “All they care about is wealth and status. Not me! If I can’t marry a girl from a royal family, I’m no better than trash. So they forced me to study and take lessons every single day. Then they’d fight if I couldn’t learn fast enough. I was just a nuisance in that house.” so he ran away. Children in One Piece are hardcore
- “I may not be an orphan but I’ve always been alone. The aristocrats look down on Trash Mountain but it’s still better than that suffocating highland, living a strict regimented life year after year.” A golden cage, you say. It’s great Oda put it here but it’s weird to hear all this from a 10 year old
- but it explains the top hat :D
- “I want to see the world and write a book about it! And navigation is the one thing I like to study! Let’s get strong and become pirates!” aww, little Nami protoplast :)
- “You don’t have to convince me! I’m gonna be a pirate and win, win, win! I’ll be famous all over the world! I’ll prove my life’s worth something! No matter how many people in the world don’t approve of me, no matter how many hate me, I’m gonna become a great pirate and show them all!” oh Ace
- “I won’t run away from anyone! I won’t lose to anyone! I don’t care if they call me a villain! I’ll make the whole world know my name!” is that me or does it sound like Zoro. Luffy really knew who he wanted in his crew, huh?
- well, what are your convictions, Luffy?
- “I want to be…” yes?
- …
- they didn’t tell us. That’s super rude
- but apparently it was funny
- whoops, they all want to be captains :D
- “We’ll decide our future in the future” famous last words, Ace
- excuse me, is that alcohol
- yep, it is
- “If you exchange cups, it makes you brothers.” !
- “When we become pirates, we may not be on the same ship together but the three of us will always be brothers!” this is great
- “No matter where we are or what we do, this bond will never be broken! Starting today… we’re brothers!”
- and so they were brothers
- beautiful montage of their lives together
- honestly, it looks like a good life
- wait, what is it
- Give Sabo back! Bluejam!” “Give him back? What nonsense is this? Sabo is my son!” …what
- HOW IS THAT… NO I DON’T CARE JUST LEAVE SABO ALONE YOU TRASH PARENT
- “I left of my own free will!” “You be quiet!” Where’s Robin when you need her to snap someone’s neck
- now you want to hurt my boys!?
- “Please, don’t hurt them! They’re my precious brothers!” “Sabo!”
