One Piece Observations

I'm re-reading one piece and decided I might as well record every thought/reaction/moment I run across

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

I fear greatly when Luffy says things like “my body doesn’t matter.” It’s like he doesn’t know his body matters to us 😔

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Blueno says Luffy is using the shave technique perfectly. It is genuinely so impressive that he is able to perfectly understand their technique and use it as his own

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Love that Luffy came up with the gears all on his own. Especially love that he came up with them not just to get stronger, but specifically to get strong enough to protect his friends

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Can zoro still do this? I feel like we haven’t seen wiggly swords in ages

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

I cannot see Cerberus mentioned without wondering if it’s building up to a Blackbeard/cerberus reveal

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Status: the worst 😂

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Zoro genuinely only knows how to take the direct approach and it works out for him most of the time

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Obviously sanji and zoro did not take down gomora. …… but this panel really makes it look they killed gomora

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Does everyone in the one piece world look at animals who are friend shaped and go, these would make great emergency rations 😂

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Dying to know how much of this is nonsense vs based in reality? Obviously a devil fruit holder can be near another devil fruit but it’s true they can’t eat it. Also we’ve seen fruits regenerate in this world so they aren’t alien, but how did they start? Is there any truth in the name that they are related to curses or devils?

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Love that Usopp gets to lead the charge for the giants. Completely forgot how intertwined he’s been with every giant they’ve met

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Franky (and Robin) need to learn how valued they are by their respective crews

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

So what would’ve happened if the full 100 years had passed? I assume more lies from the world gov

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Zoro, one of the strongest members, saying this about Usopp, one of weakest. Usopp technically isn’t even still with them but zoro can still acknowledge a strength and resiliency in Usopp that Usopp himself doesn’t see

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Luffys confusion is not over the fact that he’s making himself an enemy of the world government and therefore painting a huge target on his back. His confusion is that Blueno doesn’t understand that he’d getting Robin back and this is all just part of that process

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

Luffys character and unending willpower summed up in two panels

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

With context, I get that it’s a brilliant idea to make yourself indispensable so that the government can’t come after you, but I think franky is very valid in his anger. To him, iceberg is willingly working for the people who killed their dad
