(hating on alilloyd again whoopsies- ;P)

... okay the hug was cute. however.. even in the hallucination, lloyd was just confused about why alicia hugged him- not a trace of romantic interest there, in or out of the hallucination...

zoro's ridiculous training regimen will never not be funny.

ok so right off this 10000% feels like a filler episode, but i really dig the design of the mechanical nautilus thing. it reminds of the kinds of vehicles with the function and form that akira toriyama (RIP) would draw.

what's funny is i think every one of these products exists irl.

actually the funniest and most realistic reaction in this episode. he freaks out only AFTER he realizes they're pirates, he would have taken their millions of berries otherwise lol.

good joke, made me laugh. very on brand.

i know this probably a direct translation and twentysomethingodd years old besides, but the idea that sanji has anything other than a simp mode is a great mental image.

another great running gag.

another gut punch ugh. bellemere, my beloved.

i've done something similar to this, accidentally putting soap in a dishwasher instead of the proper detergent. the effect was similar, and equally messy.
