TBF, horrible monsters attacking Guts and company isn't a boats thing either but because Guts and company are a literal monster magnet.

Berserk's boat arc has been running anywhere nearly as long as One Piece's.

[up] Hurr hurr

From Yor's meeting with the Gardener, I get the feeling she really doesn't ask too many questions about her job. Considering she started assassinating as a kid in order to support her little brother, she seems pretty prone to being manipulated in that sense.

And now that she doesn’t have to support her brother, and a family to tend to, she’s starting to question the assassination biz.

One Piece's boat arc wasn't actually all that long. Just 47 chapters. note  And yes, I realize you're probably referring to the whole series as a boat arc (though I confess it took me a bit to work out).

On-topic, if Yor were to quit, would she be allowed to?

We don't know enough about the organization to do know they do about former members. Would be scary to think of the possibility they would task their members to take out former members.

This doesn't seem like the kind of organization that would be satisfied with just requiring retirees to sign non-disclosure agreements.

I do wonder how they're gonna balance the violent and probably lethal action scenes with Yor's… Yorness. Until now all we saw was glimpses of her job, but actually seeing the contrast in action might be disturbing.

I mean, if the organization wants to punish a woman who can freaking kick a running car off of its course...well, good luck to them.

I'm curious how her training went that made her so freakishly strong.

[up][up]Of course, it's possible that other assassins in the organization might be skilled enough to give even Yor a run for her money.

Or maybe it'll turn out the way things turned out for the Society of Assassins in Batman Beyond when they tried to kill Curare for failing her mission. Instead, she took out the entire Society.

That tangentially makes me wonder if (or when) Anya will get...a younger sibling.

And you know Anya would gleefully bully any younger sibling. And she'd use her psychic powers to do it too.

I'm pretty sure Anya would try her hand at bullying and either fail horribly or melt at her little sibling's cuteness, probably both.
