"it's you Luffy. You're the One Piece!"

Something really funny to me is that theres so much lore we could know but no one in the strahwats crew that has rhe knowledge has ever sat down to chat

Irs kinda expected cause it got so big but i do miss moments like luffy learning whst water means to the people in alabasta... i feel like there's so much expectation for the lore that a lot of what made pre time skip charming has been lost

Something nobody rly mentions in early one piece that luffy grows out from a little is how much luffy empathizes with people through violence. I heard they changed the laboon stuff in opla which i dont hate but also like. I think its interesting coming from garp who regularly beat his ass when he was around to like. Most of his childhood w the siblings and his admiration for shanks is thst the way he was able to communicate feeligns was through acts of violence. Despite how empathetic he is as a whole it is through different forms of violence he's able to communicate his feelings and while his hard-headed ways dont really change per se he grows a lot in that regard

Most infuriating but funny part of the timeskip is the fact robin was with the Revolutionary Army and was best friends with karate fishmen masters as well as. Yknow. Sabo. And she learned like one move

One piece is about how shooting those romanov kids was 100 percent justified

Been thinking about conquerors haki in op and i like irs implementation as the Achilles heel of imu and the celestial knights. There's a lot of characters who are Very strong and could probably beat many conq haki users, but their lack of ambition is something that leaves them useless in the face of the power of the System itself. Kuma survived total ego death and being turned into a cyborg who's supposed to be loyal to the system, but his simpleminded goal of saving people/those he love isnt enough to confront such a power as the systematic one they represent

Having a lot of one piece thoughts cause its a long road trip but its hqrd to write them down because im copilot andnhave bad signal

Something interesting I've noticed in newer chapters is sanji's Evil Robot moments are usually accompanied by his womanizer tendencies
