One Piece

We've since seen through the flashback that was Tristan the squirrel-mink nurse. It's why she was able to act as a Character Witness and get Wanda to stand down.

I wonder if the minks can all randomly interbreed and get luck-of-the-draw offspring too.

Given the mass variety we've seen, luck of the draw is most likely.

Another question is is every female cute, shapely humanoids with some minor animal parts like a snout, ears & tail?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I'm sure there are some Gonks in the mix, but otherwise it looks like they'll mostly just be the same female body type as always, just with animal heads.

FREAKING FURRIES REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah,it seems so.

Secret Signature

Caught up. Now the fitting analogy seems to be that this will be Enies Lobby, but with Sanji in Robin's shoes. Especially because Luffy has to stop the wedding or he'll either lose a crewmate or be shackled by affiliation to Big Mom.

I have to ask:

What does being King of the Pirates mean exactly?

The man with the most freedom. At least according to Luffy.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Roger was said to have attained that title when he "conquered the seas" and acquired "everything this world had to offer."

It's a bit vague.

It is the pirate who has all of the meat and doesn't have to share it with anyone.

The pirate that has accomplished all he has set out to accomplish. The pirate that no law can keep down.

In practical terms, it's usually regarded as Roger being the one and only person to reach Raftel, the final island on the Grand Line. Reach that and match Roger's achievement, and you can find yourself Pirate King as a result.

What I really liked about the previous revelations - not only did we never see it coming, but in hindsight, we should have realized something was up. We've known for years that Sanji is from the North Blue and how the four seas are divided up, but never put together that that's a hell of a trip for a little kid to take. And why was he on that ship Zeff attacked, anyway? Where was he going?

It reminds me of that moment we are introduced to Luffy's brother and realize how very little we know about our main character. Seriously, for a while there Luffy's background was one of the biggest mysteries in the series.

Hey, you know what hasn't been shit-posted in a LONG while? THIS.

What.

Wat.

Remember back when everyone thought Luffy was Obfurscating Stupidity? Good times, good times.

Chapter

Luffy, quite predictably, doesn't care about Sanji's past, just whether he's coming back to his crew or not. Which Pekoms says he won't, so he's going to take him back...alone.

The adult trio try to prevent the samurai from entering the country so there isn't a shitstorm....and they fail because they fell asleep.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

New chapter's out. I don't even know what is going on anymore.

Edit: So the Vinsmokes are warmongers... that would certainly explain their influence in the World Government.

Damn, Big Mom's information network must be quite extensive for a threat like that.

Carrot is showing some sort of fondness for Luffy's brand of chaos. Interesting...

Luffy making that comment to Zoro... the yaoi fans aren't going to let this slide.

So Law has his own 20-crew Ginyu force. That's actually pretty adorable.

Looks like the older Strawhats spent too much of their energy partying. Also, how did the samurai not notice them asleep on the ground?

No break for next week? Oda, are you doing alright? Not that I'm complaining, but we don't need another hospital incident.

"When I was alive, I was a tender soul. Now, I am tenderloin." -Nanako (Senryuu Shoujo)

I was wondering that myself. I'm annoyed that Franky, Brook and Robin botched things like that in the first place, but still, how do Kinemon and that dude not see them at all?

Well, it can't be helped. The whole thing with the Samurai was a Chekovs Gun that had to go off at some point wasn't it?

One Strip! One Strip!

Nekomamushi continues to be adorable.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Robin sleeping is a peculiarity all on its own. Her insomniac ways were well-known pre-skip, no?

Was she an insomniac or did she just like staying up?

I liked how the three "adults" of the crew took this upon themselves incidentally enough. Is this the first time that's actually been said in story because I remember that dynamic being brought up here every now and then?
