The Paramount Booty Call

Shanks1

Make love, stop war. What’s Red-Haired Shanks real movitation for stopping the Paramount War?

We all know Shanks is a laid back guy. The main reason he’s so popular with other pirates is because he has the best weed, allegedly. He loves to party and he loves the ladies, well, loves the Makino. So, why did Captain Party decide to stop the Paramount War between Team Edward and Team Sengoku? Answer: Ass.

Let’s look at his first appearance all the way in chapter one. He spent months at Foosha Village on business. Business? Riiiiiight. What business does Shanks have in East Blue? Taking his crew to strip clubs and bowling alleys, that’s what! But, that’s for his crew. I’m thinking he just wanted to spend time with his Makino but left to do “business” to keep his crew happy. Sly dog.

Fast forward ten years with our roguish captain horny as hell, looking for ANY excuse to get back to Foosha Village and tap that bar maiden backside. What’s this? A war at Marine HQ? This is it! His chance finally arrives!

Shanks conveniently arrives in the nick of time to end the war, knowing he could have joined up with Whitebeard in the beginning. He even meet with Whitebeard before the war! Dude couldn’t suggest they team-up for shits and giggles? Course not! He had to be the big hero to impress his girl. Bros before hoes, my friend. Whitebeard is dead because you didn’t follow ye Pirate Bro Code.

The Funeral set him back a few days but mission accomplished. Saved Whitebeard’s crew and now sadden by his death he has more than enough reason to visit Makino for a double dose of hero/grief lovin’.

makino baby

Uh-oh! Someone didn’t use a Luffy! Time to haul ass back to the New World!

Oda VS GOda

Are you a true fan of One Piece? Probably not.

The internet is full of arguments, big and small. Mostly unimportant. One such argument is between fellow fans of One Piece. Superfans, I call GOdas (God + Oda) are nothing new. The guys and gals who obsess over something to the point where loving something means loving every single thing about it. Maybe it’s because I hold One Piece fans to a higher standard and I love it so much but these GOdas have got to calm the hell down! Here’s a GOda post in response to people complaining about the end of chapter 742.

People who are complaining about how Sugar was defeated – you clearly think you’ve been reading a completely different manga. Go home and stop whining like little bitches :I

Enjoy One Piece for years but if you criticize anything about it you aren’t a real fan. Don’t like something in an over seven hundred chapter story? Sorry, you’ve been wasting your time and money. Stop now and get out while you can.

Get a grip, people! Everyone isn’t going to like every chapter, every character, and every scene in One Piece. That doesn’t make them any less a fan than you.

Chapter 735: Fujitora’s Outlook

Violet joins Team Luffy in an effort to sneak inside the palace. Senor Pink protects Ms. Valentine 2.0 as the marines join in deciding a cyborg with enough firepower to blow up a small country is kinda dangerous.

Best part of the chapter is Fujitora declaring his goal of having the Royal Shichibukai abolished! He made DoDo sad. The chapter ends with the final match for the mera-mera about to start.

Let’s talk about the Reverie for a moment. Ship is gonna go down at the Reverie. Perhaps crappy new World Government rules or a plan formed to take down the world’s worst pirates and/or revolutionaries? Or, could Dragon and his buddies crash the Reverie party or use the opportunity to start revolutions in countries with their monarchy away? Whatever happens there one thing is sure, it’ll be a game changer.

Manga One Piece Rebecca Revolutionary

Chapter 734: The Kamaitachi of Rommel

Haters gonna hate!

Rebecca won thanks to Cavendish going in Hakuba mode. Love the guy who accused Rebecca of hiding a gun. Just where exactly could she be hiding one? I bet someone made a frisk Rebecca adult doujin.

Sabo knew about Hakuba, interesting. It’s definitely not common knowledge so how does he know? Either the Revolutionary Army also investigated the Rommel incidents or there’s a revolutionary mole in the Navy.

Another interesting point was Doflamingo saying Luffy had “treacherous blood”. He’s obviously talking about Luffy’s father, Dragon, but saying Dragon is treacherous could mean something important.

Crazy theories time!
We know Dragon was born in Goa Kingdom and for some reason the king of Goa was never shown or named. Why? Is the king of Goa linked to Dragon? Could he be Dragon’s father-in-law? At the very least for someone to create the Revolutionary Army he has to know what really goes in the world. I think Dragon was part of the World Government or Navy at some point.

One Piece Chapter 733: What Soldier-san Desires

Color Spread Alert! The Strawhats playing in the snow. So whimsical, so fun. Reminds me of a simpler time when I was young- Is Sanji trying to give that snow woman huge tits?

Operation S.O.P. continues! Robin and Usopp get henchman hand-me-downs courtesy of the Tontata’s Tail Hammer attack, brutal. What’s in the booox? Thunder Soldier. And, he brought some Tontatas and an ass kickin’ with him. Back at the coliseum, everyone is passed out. This is why you don’t do shots before fighting tournaments. Who won? Easy, Jack Daniels.

Best Boxers: Skinny Henchman
Elevator MVP: Kenny G

One Piece Chapter 732: The Underground World

Operation S.O.P. begins! This is a step-up chapter, moving characters into place and giving readers information. Information on the Donquixote Family hierarchy and underground world. For such a naive group the Tontatas are excellent information gatherers. TMZ would offer them a job in a second. Franky VS Senor Pink looks promising and Team Usopp, now inside the underground port, are ready to Solid Snake it to Sugar.

Best Hair: Franky
Best Napkin: Bikini Top

One Piece Chapter 731: The Dressrosa S.O.P. Strategy

One Piece Chapter 731 The Dressrosa S.O.P. Strategy

This chapter. THIS MOTHERHUGGING CHAPTER!

I should build it up but screw it. Sabo! Now, my excitement doesn’t come from confirmation he’s alive, I knew I was. Most Piece Heads figured it out, wasn’t hard. The real shock comes from seeing Sabo this “early” in the series. I figured we wouldn’t see he for at least two years real life time but there he his. So, what does this mean?

1. High probability Sabo is getting the flame-flame fruit. Makes sense considering the other Strawhats wouldn’t want it.

2. The Revolutionaries are starting something big. From the conversation between Sabo and Koala (she’s back, yay!) they’re looking for the underground port too. They are either looking for Smile to steal for the Revolutionaries and/or trying to strike at Doflamingo at the heart of his operation to bring him down. Doflamingo. The Warlord Doflamingo. The former Celestial Dragon Doflamingo. That’s bold. Kick in the World Government’s crotch bold! If that’s their plan the Revolutionaries may be starting their final push to take down the World Government. Insane!

Whatever the result, the Revolutionaries are now in the forefront of the story and that’s exciting.

Backtracking a bit, we learn Dellinger is a master of kicking people in high heels AKA Skank-Fu. Bellamy, get a clue my friend. Doflamingo doesn’t like you. Move on! Sugar has the Hobby-Hobby fruit, confirming she’s the one turning people into toys. Not impressed until I see her change someone into a PS4. And finally, Koala knows fishman karate, interesting! Looking forward to see her in action and happy she’s back in general. You go marsupial girl!

Oh yeah, Caribou cover story is over too. Thank Enel!
