episode 271: Don't Stop! Hoist the Counterattack Signal!
the effect of the bullets ricocheting off him looking like sparkles is something i hope was 100% intentional.
i acutally wondered 1. how that island thing actually worked and 2. how tf kokoro knew that. i love when an older character just knows shit from life experience. and kokoro is a fun older lady, glad she's getting another chance to shine. she's always a scene-stealer.
also chopper's upturned face is so funny.
i audibly gasped here.
very torn on this guy's design. the armor is cool, but the face... ugh.
OH THEY ARE FUCKING PISSED LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
HONESTLY VALID. go off kings.
and there he is! our favorite sniper riding on the backs of the giants. love that the giants once again respect him as an equal

i wonder what powers they'll get!
this is so funny because it's like a kids idea, but also funny because jabra is very specifically like a tough dude so him being terrified of something that would make him stronger, especially when earlier he was offended as being one of the weaker ranks, is especially funny.
this is an especially interesting bit of lore to drop here. at least we know nobody can get two devil fruit powers.
i wonder if spandam, being a fucking idiot, got them shitty devil fruit powers! which would then explain how the straw hats will eventually be able to beat them.
or yeah maybe jabra is just playing the long game. but he doesn't seem that smart lol
i know lucci is on their side, but his face here is... ominous? is he planning to betray them or something with crappy devil fruits? just seems weird how much time the show is dedicating to this moment...
alright this one got me haha thats a good joke after all that buildup.
blueno realizing there may actually be someone who can stand up to him is a sight to see. about damn time somebody beat down cp9.
some absolutely beautiful smear frames and animation here, they clearly put a lot of work into this fight.
really really cool aplication here of the door door power blueno has. i'm not sure how he has multiple doors at once but whatever it looks cool af.
actual body horror ew. reminds me jojo part 6, iykyk. ugh HATE THIS
STOP I AM NOT READY TO CRY OVER ANOTHER YAGARA I HATE THIS TOO
