Flashback’s over. Let’s get back to the Straw Hats!

…A recap chapter!? NOOOOO!

Guess I’ll touch on the non-recappy parts, like Chief Jarul finally coming (somewhat) clean about what went down in Aurust Castle fourteen years ago. I still think it was a dumb decision to stay quiet, but I like Jarul going with keeping the secret in order to prevent a losing war against the World Government as a valid reason. That makes more sense than the B.S. reasons Loki was spewing out in the flashback.

Zoro has a plan. Well, I’ve got one too: Burn down the boats! No boats. No trips off Elbaph. That could be Zoro’s plan too. Either that, or just cutting Branch 8 so the kids can’t reach the harbor. Oh Zoro! I’m—erm—I mean YOU are such a genius! And mad cute too! ♥

So who’s gonna do what? Prediction time!

Wait. You said three enemies or Mr. 3? Sorry, I’m listening to Beck’s new album.

Sorry, Oda. You didn’t convince me Loki keeping Harald’s rampage a secret was a good idea.

Elbaph’s citizens not accepting Loki as their new king despite his justified killing of Harald? Sure. I’ll give you that.

Loki feeling undeserving to become king because of his past and genuine guilt from killing his own father? Yep. I get it.

Loki determined to make the World Government pay for putting the whammy on Harald? I’m with you, Oda-sensei.

So, why not just tell the people of Elbaph what happened, with Jarul and Gaban backing you up?!

Seriously. Why not? The citizens won’t want you as their king? Fine! You don’t want the job anyway! They’ll still blame you for it? Fine! You wanna leave and take on the World Government anyway, so it doesn’t matter!

It. Doesn’t. Matter.

Loki being imprisoned in The Underworld seems like an half-assed excuse to keep Loki’s true motivations secret from the readers until it was time for the action-packed back half of the arc. It feels so forced to me.

Suffering From Loki Self-Esteem [One Piece 1154]

You don’t get much lower than the bottom of a cliff!

Nico Robin wanted to die when at her lowest point. Loki just straight-up tried to commit suicide. This is some serious self-loathing here. It’s no wonder when your own mother called you a monster and wanted you dead. I don’t think Queen Estrid called Loki by his name once before she died! Strike One!

Abandonment issues. Loki’s father, King Harald, constantly leaving on diplomatic missions and repairing relations between Elbaph villages didn’t help either. Did he ever play with Loki? Did they ever do anything together as a family? Sometimes a parent is just a dick and sometimes they’re well-meaning but grossly negligent. In Loki’s case, he got both. Strike Two!

Loki being the curse of Elbaph. Let me go on record saying I think that whole “curse” talk is eight-legged horseshit!

You think that’s bad? You should hear what Estrid thinks about the new Superman movie!

Yeah, I know One Piece is a world where dreams turned into magical fruits that give you superpowers and giant kids drew a mural of someone’s prediction of the final arc of the series. Guess what? I don’t care! I still think it was nonsense drummed up by some gold digging Miss Cleo (Remember her?) inflating her self-importance.

You want to wake up kids? Throw cold water in their face!

You’re welcome, Walrus School staff.

So, there’s no Holy Knight with the power of giving life to drawings like I thought last chapter. Just some thorny guy looking for love in all the wrong places. But, the thorns being invisible is an interesting concept. Color me intrigued.

Say? With all of St. Sommers twisted talks of love, you think he’s Jewelry Bonney’s biological father? He seems like the kid of guy who’d have sex slaves then throw them away when he’s tired of them in the most disturbing way. Like say…making a pregnant slave undergo inhumane experimentation. Yep. Put me down for that bearded bastard being Bonney’s blood daddy.
