Reading One Piece For The First Time - Fishman Island Arc Favorite Moments, Thoughts, and Theories
Obviously, spoilers for Fishman Island Arc (this was written when I completed it, while I have now read ahead please don't spoil anything since there's no way for you to know where I'm at now)
Favorite Moments:
Luffy Challenges Big Mom
Cue the "Yes I love that man of mine" line from Beetlejuice. Like this is so pure Luffy. Once again, he sees injustice, he sees mistreatment, and he won't let that sit with him even with no obligation keeping him there.
I'm a bit nervous about challenging an emperor because we are having rough times with warlords still like Moira and non-warlords like we saw here, but you know who isn't nervous? LUFFY. Luffy's confidence in himself makes me believe in the impossible too.
Also I think this whole "territory" thing we see here adds so much to what a pirate actually does. We've never seen Luffy consider what it means to be a great pirate and the way that power can be used for more than just freedom. It was lovely seeing him find a reason to claim a territory and use his power/notoriety to do something greater for other people.
2. Filling The Boxes With Petitions
Queen Otohemie is maybe one of my favorite side characters we've gotten. Her determination, her inner strength, her moral code, her love for her people. All of it is just so inspiring and beautiful. Seeing her try time and time again even when all she got was the shunning of her people was heartbreaking, and I had already shed enough tears about it but seeing the townspeople fill up the box and then some with their signatures??
SHUT UP.
I definitely feel the weight of this in the present timeline that we are currently in and it helps recontextualize the people we've met and the situation that we are in. Like in Skypiea I love when a flashback can do that. I understood what the royal family had lost, I understood who had been fighting for going to the surface, I understood why the townspeople were as flip-floppy as they were. I just love when Oda can do that.
3. Jimbei Tells Arlong Backstory
Now I famously hate when I think bad characters are getting redeemed, and I think that getting a villain's backstory can sometimes do that. To me though that's not what happens here.
Firstly, I love the fact that Nami's trauma about Arlong is actually acknowledged. I had mentioned to my husband chapters ago that I had wished we saw more of the lasting impact that it had on her, so it was amazing to see it here. I also enjoyed seeing how someone like Sanji for example was immediately not in the mood to forgive either because of the impact they knew it had on her. (Though yes that ends up going against the moral of the story).
Secondly, I think that getting Arlong's backstory - especially about why Arlong Park looked and was named the way it was - doesn't redeem him but contextualize him in the greater world we have expanded to since that Arc. The comments he made, the anger he had, the dream he kept saying, all of it has a place in this wider story being told and it doesn't justify it, but it makes it clear how/why he was like that.
Jimbei was a character I wanted to see more of since Impel Down and having him be the one to share this story and apologize to Nami for his part in it, was I think a beautiful testament to who he is and what he brings to this story.
4. Fisher Tiger Not Accepting Human Blood
Oh my. I really wasn't expecting this story in One Piece. I really want to do a good job of articulating this, but I'm not sure how good it's going to get so just bear with me.
I think that Fisher Tiger is one of the most fascinating and complex characters that we have gotten, and Oda really took a realistic approach to how hard it can be to battle against hatred even in yourself even when you know better. I think that making this choice must not have been the easiest one, but it makes this character all the more tragic and narrative haunting than before.
Fisher Tiger knows the consequences for doing what he's doing, he'll die. There are other consequences though like the impact that this has on Arlong and the path it leads him on further. It's a really mature take on how some things are so ingrained that they can't be untaught easily even with a good interaction like with Koala. It's systemic.
It makes the last scene I'm going to talk about all the more beautiful.
5. Jimbei Gives Luffy Blood
Not me crying before I even start writing this part. I think that having this happen in this part of the story is such a beautiful way to conclude the major theme of this arc.
We've seen multiple people want to be the change in the world through the flashbacks but none of them having the strength or courage to do it until now. Until this moment. Finally, someone is literally pushing their sleeves up and saying that the moment won't be down the line, the moment is NOW. It's something real, it's something active, and it's something that we see have a strong impact on people even if it doesn't immediately change their hearts completely.
Also I think it's lovely that Jimbei is saving Luffy's life again here. He saved him emotionally post Marine-Ford in a nontangible way, and he does it again here in a way you can actually see/feel. I love this man, and I want him on our crew just like Luffy.
Overall Thoughts:
I don't want to say I'm disappointed because there's a lot to love this arc actually. The things is even from my Top 5 list you can see that a majority of the love I have for this arc comes from other people outside of the strawhats, and that's my least favorite thing in an Arc. I want them to be the thing I like most obviously, and that didn't happen here for a variety of reasons.
Having Franky and Robin AWOL doing their own thing was unfortunate. They all just reunited, so I would have wanted to see them all together again more before immediately going to do their own things again. Yes, Sanji's nosebleed is an unfortunate character low, but I didn't mind it entirely. I found Chopper putting the photos around him to inoculate him very funny for example, I just think it went a little far.
I loved the entire royal family. I think they are funny sweet characters that I was laughing with and caring about the entire time they were on page. I just wish they weren't my favorite part over the main characters.
I think this arc shades in a lot of the world that we have already seen actually. It colors in the missing gaps and connects some of the earliest arcs we saw. I appreciate that a lot, and I'm excited about what that means going forward. I swear to God though if Arlong pulls up one of these days I'm going to be so pissed. Count me on Sanji's side cause I don't forgive like that.
I really liked the themes, the backstories, and the setting of this one. The side characters were lovely and impactful. We get introduced to a new big bad I think with Big Mom that I'm interested in. I just wanted more out of this one.
Theories:
Okay, here's where I confess that since the introduction of Sanji's character I think he's been a secret prince. The name Mr. Prince, the way he seems well educated like Vivi was about the world, the manners, the way we got a focus on him when Cricket was talking about living down a family name you're ashamed of. I have been on this train for hundreds upon hundreds of chapters, but here is where I also admit I could be wrong.
I thought that the wanted poster gag was what was keeping his like King father from finding him since there's no real photo of him, but now that may just be a gag haha. I just don't know if his portrayl in this arc is giving the energy I thought it was.
I'm throwing out my back up theory here which is: I think Big Mom may try to recruit/kidnap him since he's a cook and her whole thing is she wants sweets made for her. I think that could be a fun way to get her introduced fully to the story.
Now that every villain is just coming back and being mentioned my next one I think we see is CP9. Which I'm not looking forward to, but I think it's been enough time and the cover stories show they're still kicking.
There seems to be a lot going on with the weapons thing, but I seriously can't even wrap my head around theories for that one so I'll just sit on that until I have thoughts.
(In case someone does read this and is wondering, my husband is a huge fan of the series and finally got me to watch the Live Action S1 and S2 with him. I immediately fell in love and started with the Manga. We read it together each night and at the end of each arc list out my favorite moments, straw hat rankings, fights, etc. After I catch up with the Manga he's going to show me the anime next).
Been fucking forever since I did a fic rec, but I just read a fucking amazing one. So congratulations, y'all get a new one: "chuck the money" by voltarey
Literally no words that I say are going to do this fic justice honestly. I'm obsessed with the bakudeku dynamic in this fic; it was just really them and I loved it a lot.
It's a post-time skip fic where Katsuki realizes that waiting around for Izuku to join his agency is basically the same as losing, so he very desperately (for him) tries to get Izuku to agree to be his partner (in both senses of the word because they're both not fucking normal about each other and that's the beauty of it tbh) using coffee and increasingly intricate employment contracts (and a bit of seduction).
All in all a cute, sweet, hilarious read, that I cannot recommend enough. So everyone go read it!

One piece rewatch, maybe I'll get shit for that but I'm kinda upset with post-time skip Chopper. Don't get me wrong, I love him and he is super cute. But pre-time skip Chopper just hits different, idk.
I feel like he looks even younger somehow ??

I'm cry-laughing because, is it me or did everyone in the crew come back like ten times as crazy about Luffy after the two years?
hinata appreciation
ok, can we take a second to appreciate how humble hinata is in this panel? i mean, we know for a fact that hinata is a beast in the beach volleyball scene, he has his own dedicated fanbase (c’mon, THE nicolas romero’s son is his fan which is !!) and is known as the ninja shouyou to the brazilians.
hinata is truly the kind of guy who flies high in the sky and yet has his feet grounded to the earth.
post time-skip hinata just hits different, and he continues to inspire me every single day.
