Reading One Piece pt 259: Backstory
Chapter 506
Thoughts:
- Fpos/cs: “Discharged from the hospital” I can’t be mad at them when they’re so happy :) Who got Lucci that shirt
- Law, his bear mate (Bepo) and rest of his crew are still marine trashing on their way home
- Oh, they got to Kid and Kuma
- (Seeing Kuma is a shock every time)
- “Trafalgar Law!” “You know my name!” I’m surprised too! I’m sorry Law but your name is kind of hard to pronounce, at least for meÂ
- (Google tells me there’s Cape Trafalgar in Spain and that Napoleon fought there once. The more you know)
- Honestly, is it me or is Kuma overpowered. We know his DF power, he shouldn’t also have lasers, apparently teleporting into places of plot relevance and whatever it is that just went “BOOM”. I don’t care he’s a cyborg, like come on man
- Kid and Law really, and I mean REALLY, don’t want to meet an Admiral. Makes me kinda wonder what Kizaru’s power is. I mean, we met Aokiji and he is GOAT OP but like no more than Kuma is right now for me. Sike, what did we get ourselves into
- Somewhere else
- Duval, please, for the love of god, stop trying to wink, it’s getting worse every time
- Bye Duval
- Now Straw Hat party is in Rip-Off Bar :D
- “Oh, Ray. Welcome back. That was fast. I’m surprised Monkey and the others found you.” Wow, thanks a lot, Shakky
- Haha! Luffy was told Rayleigh was King Roger’s first mate :D Everyone is SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED
- (Except Robin, lol. She knew :D)
- Seriously, you all failed Pirate History so hard
- Or maybe not! They DID hear of him! Damn, he’s really famous
- Except… Brook?
- (holy shit you guys. I just realized Brook’s times were pretty much BEFORE King Roger. And he didn’t get any news for the last 50 years. He may not even know what a Pirate King IS, I just ajskhdjfjdjdasfk)
- “I think there was a rookie by the name of Gold Roger. Or maybe not” AJDSHSDGHJADHKJS
- “Why are you such friends with an octopus?” backstory!
- He saved my life 20 years ago. After that, we were close until he joined the Sun Pirates” “Don’t you mean Arlong?” Does he mean Arlong? Weird
- “Gold Roger was executed 22 years ago…” yet his crew wasn’t. True, what’s up with that
- “We didn’t get captured… Roger turned yourself in” WHAT
- I MEAN WHAT
- “Why!?” yeah, why
- “We knew that our travels were ending” …
- “Four years before the day of his execution… Roger was afflicted with a terminal illness.” !!!!!!!!!
- Crocus (the lighthouse keeper, with Laboon. Damn, he really knows everyone) eased the pain but Roger’s illness was incurable
- “Three years later… we did the impossible… and conquered all of the Grand Line”
- (Crocus became a pirate cause he wanted to look for Rumba® Pirates! Which also means Brook! Goddammit, that stupid manga. I refuse to cry over that but DAMMIT)
- “So what happened after you conquered the oceans?” “After that, the entire world started calling Roger the Pirate King.” So he was a King for like a year?
- “Titles are meaningless for a dying man. But Roger was overjoyed.” Damn it
- “He had no future but was happy.” DAMN IT
- So Roger’s Pirates disbanded. Everyone went their own way and there’s no contact. Nothing you wouldn’t expect.
- …
- I just hope it will go better for Straw Hats
- “And about one year after we disbanded… Roger turned himself in. And it was announced that he would be publicly executed in Rogue Town, in the East Blue, where he was born. On that day, young pirates who are now famous all lined up to watch. The entire world was watching as the Pirate King was executed. I didn’t go.” We knew it all already, and yet. It’s just different when you hear it from Rayleigh
- And thus was a story of how Navy’s plans backfired spectacularly and right in their face. Instead of destroying the threat, they’ve started The Great Age Of Pirates
- “My treasure? You can have it if you want it. Go find it! I left all the riches of the world there.” …so. I’m pretty sure One Piece will be experiences and friends we found along the way. And I’M GLAD, GODDAMMIT
- “There was no other day I laughed as much as that day! There was no other way I cried as much… or drank as much!” ;_;
- “So he intentionally created the Age of Pirates!” “Those who create the times are always those who are living in the present!” well said
- Hah, Straw Hats know now that Shanks and Buggy were trainees of Roger Â
- Seriously, what a walk down memory lane
- Rayleigh met Shanks ten years ago, just after Shanks lost his arm
- “When I asked him about it, he talked about you with the biggest smile on his face!” awwww
- “Mr. Rayleigh, I was so surprised! In the East Blue, there’s a kid saying the exact same thing as Captain Roger! The very same words the Captain said!” awwww again
- And we’re cutting to somewhere else. Eh
- Grove 27. Kizaru is here.
- …he’s riding on a cannon ball Â
- …Alright then. Let me rephrase
- KIZARU IS HERE EVERYBODY RUN
Showtime.
