I really like Aokiji, hes so weird.

Ok who the fuck taught him that

Doffy shows up. The art style isn't anywhere near as detailed and new as dressrosa of course, so i didn't get as gross vibes from him as I did when watching the dressrosa arc. Hes still disgusting tho. Icky.

Bellamy's bounty is only 55mil, wow.

How did he survive this??

I'm reliving the pain of enies lobby and I'm not even there yet.

*hey so what I said last post was wrong haha oopsies

The "why shouldn't I listen to you" line reminds me of marineford. Luffy says something somewhat similar to Ace cuz that was when we truly saw Ace's hatred of himself, and yelled at Luffy to leave him alone.

Just chaos n bonding. Can't decide if she's being kinda manipulative or fitting in super well (its prolly the latter but I can't help but wonder.) I'm zoro from the last panel.

Watching these two let their asses be handed to them hurts, but these are some cool panels.

Bb reminded Luffy of Shanks and Ace. That scares me. It's like...he has the right ideals, but he's gonna end up doing some horrible things in the future and I don't know what to feel anymore. [Spoilers below]

Bb only hunted down Luffy (but took Ace instead) to become one of the seven warlords. I can't even remember why he wanted to become a warlord. At the same time, he used to be on wb's crew but was kicked out cuz he killed a crewmate. So um, I really can't draw a conclusion on this guy.

Actually maybe I can. He definitely has something to work towards, with good ideals; pretty similar to Luffy. The striking difference between them though, is bb doesn't value human life or the people he may need to sacrifice to reach his goal-- whereas Luffy can have a bit of a bleeding heart, especially with his family. I can understand bb not caring about Luffy's or Ace's lives, but Thatch is absolutely inexcusable. Luffy can be selfish and blunt, and his actions can still have consequences (though Vivi taught him another method to get what he needs, back in drum island), but he would never do something like hunt down and murder people to get what he wants. Bb used to seem like a sorta okay dude at the time, but things took a turn for the worst when we learned more about him.

There's a number of ideas I'm getting from what Luffy n Zoro say here, but only one of them really makes sense (but also is still confusing).

Luffy&Zoro left to look for someone else who might know how to get to the sky island. Thing is, I don't know why they didn't just ask if bb knew. I'd like to think they already knew they shouldn't take help from bb since they could sense he was not really a good person, but I'm really not sure. I'm pretty much just as confused as Nami.

The other idea I'm getting is going more along Nami's interpretation of their words. As in, there are more people on the island that think like bb. And they need to leave, cuz it isn't safe (or smth like that idk), and they have to find help elsewhere.

First time the idea of getting a new ship is brought up. Things only get worse from here.

His hat looks extremely similar to Garp's. Like, I saw him and thought Garp was in this arc and got confused.
