I love that Oda didn't forget that Brook's favourite food is curry. And now he gives us an explanation why that is. I can't imagine how nostalgic he feels when Sanji makes it for him.

[murphmurphthejerk]

People are forgetting what it's like to be a young teen girl & the awkwardness of puberty with chapter 1184 lol

Reminder, Shuri is a child trying to get the attention of an adult she has a crush on. She's being inappropriate in an attempt to act more mature so that Brook would see her as a "woman". Obviously, Brook calls her out & tries correcting her behavior.

Oda also parallels Shuri's crush on Brook with Brook's crush on Candelle, who's also had a crush on an adult since he was a child.

Clearly, both situations are very much one-sided.

Girls this age are also typically obsessed with their chest in one way or another. Either they completely hate the idea of growing breasts or they are desperate to get them and have big ones.

Girls & Women have always had a bit of a fixation on this topic. Oda even gets questions about it from them in the sbs.

Not only is it an age old staple in animanga for younger female characters to complain about not being "grown" in the chest department, but this really isn't much different than what is shown in coming of age movies over in the west. This is just said in a very Japanese manner of speaking.

Example:

"But Oda has daughters! Isn't that inappropriate!?"

IDK man, It might actually be because he has daughters Oda gave Shuri that dialogue. His own daughter literally made fun of his love of boobage & doesn't seem to have an issue speaking on such topics.

I hate to sound like a bit of a boomer, but could this perhaps be a case of people being "too sensitive"? 🙃

None of the adults in the story entertained Shuri's nonsense. Brook strictly hits on grown women. Oda has Shuri covered up and no weird angled drawing of her body afoot. Just a child being too eager to grow up. I hate to break it you, but young teens do in fact have sexual thoughts sometimes. I don't see the need for any pearl clutching.

In my opinion, this is just another example of the fandom's overexaggeration of Oda's less savory qualities making them interpret the story in an incorrect manner. Because they've already decided Oda is the grossest man alive, literally everything looks completely sinister.

At the same time, the small group of people trying to push Brook & Shuri as a couple in the future "because she's old now" need to die. What is wrong with you? He's practically helped raise her! Oda would literally never do that tf. 😭

I swear to god if Brook has a baby brother I'm going to scream. You can't do that to me AND fuck up his hometown, he should just be spawned alone one day and that's it, no more backwards back story, go back to 27 please. WAIT ARE WE GONNA SEE A YOUNGER YORKIE!?

One Piece; Chapter 1184

Still freaking out over the teaser for the Knights in the Elbaf anime, but we lock in regardless!

Spoilers below, as always!

....Oda is a sadist and the day we all accept that is the day we all can move on with our lives.

Seriously, a Brook cover request? Seriously, the Imu jellyfish? Seriously, the fucking title?

The chapter hasn't even started and I'm already Braced For Tears 💔

Shuri's pretty!!! Mama's genes doing all the heavy lifting, no offense Leuven

HA girly knows what she likes! This is good for my Celestial Hoards HC 💞

Shuri, never thought I'd say this, please shut the hell up. Good on Brook for not reciprocating tho, gotta love him <3

I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR 💞💞💞💞💞

Even what happened in Epseria + 50 years of isolation couldn't change this man, he's always been like this 💞💞

What a cute little song! Brook's good at those

"Only my bones" Would ya look at that, foreshadowing. Painful. Oda when I catch you.

LIL STREET RAT BROOK?????? Unexpected, but oh so appreciated. He's just a little guy, I would level kingdoms to keep him safe

That is one depressing ass song tho, my baby :(

This better just be a creative lyric because I swear to god if Brook has a dead family on top of all this I will sob

"A freeing vibe" 👀 Can you hear the drums in the distance yet?

Brook and Luffy should talk about their childhoods together because I'm sending some good old Parallels 💞💔

Stealing from Marines! Brook really was born to be a pirate~

OH NO THEY'RE ADORABLE

ough augh I was clinging to the tyrant theory so hard and now it slips away..... Leuven & Brook are the duo ever and I'm horrified imagining what the hell happened to lead to his death 💔

BABY BROOK 💔💥💔💥💔💥💔💥💔

The Marines are Bastards. They always have been, always will be.

So either they're pissed this kid's been stealing their food supplies, or they're talking about drugs & have been mistaken. Either way, this is a child. Beating him to a half-dead pulp accomplishes nothing!

💔💥💔💥💔💥💔💥💥💔💥💔💥💥💔💥💥💔💔💥💔💥💥💔💥💔💥💔💥💔

The fact he can only think of a stray dog and Leuven to say bye to... Music forever being his one comfort in life..... Why do the second backstories always hurt so much

LEUVEN TO THE RESCUE FUCK THE TYRANT THEORY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Ough that top panel is so precious 🥹🥺

Ah, so it was just the Marines being idiots. As per usual. I appreciate Leuven deciding to handle this himself!

KING 💥 SHIT 💥 Fuck the World Government, they're encouraging cruel behavior as it suits their needs! They can suck it!

Candelle's line here..... It's making my skin crawl. It's... Sweet I guess, but the words "Devoted Blade" remind me a bit too much of Imu's Covenants for comfort........ Those Manmayer Candel theories are looking ever more likely 😬

If this is how Brook decided to become a swordsman I will instantly explode into a puddle of tears. What the fuck Oda 💔

Gods, Candelle is still so pretty~ 💞💞💞

Leuven's dynamic with her is very sweet, and ofc his dynamic with Brook is absolutely adorable!!! This is just such a cute page

Right there with ya, Brook. I too would melt if Candelle booped me 🤭

LEUVEN LOVES HIM AND RECRUITS HIM INTO THE CORPS AND GETS HIM MUSIC SCHOOLING AND DEAR GOD I AM SOBBING ON THE FLOOR

Oda. Oda please. How much cruelty must this man suffer through. What do you have against Brook. What the hell happens?!

Precious chapter, despite Brook suffering a bit, I'm hyped for next (after the week long break, Oda you sadist!) 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[ratantics]

I'm gonna say it...

I do not trust this woman.
