Me So Thorny [One Piece 1143]

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.

Drawn To Evil [One Piece 1142]

Things just got real…animated.

Operation Child Abduction’s in full effect. Gotta say, Sommers and Killingham having the power to bring drawings to life and put people to sleep wasn’t on my bingo card for powers they possess. Although, those are some pretty versatile abilities with excellent range. If used right, they could and are extremely deadly devil fruit powers.

Seriously, look at how freaking huge those monster drawings are! We’re in a land of giants and the people seems like ants compared to them. It’s nuts!

I was gonna complain about how the Holy Knights have a ship, then I realized Sommers most likely brought a ship drawing to life. See what I mean by how versatile they’re powers are? Gotta give props to Oda for giving all three Holy Knights extremely interesting powers.

Things kids fear? Then where’s the Homework Monster, the No WIFI Monster, and the Gluten Bread Monster?

Sly Scooper [One Piece 1140]

What? No! Keegan-Michael Key’s obviously saying “Holy Knights“.

To no one’s surprise, Gaban was only testing Luffy’s resolve. Only? Hmm… Or maybe Gaban also wanted to confirm Luffy has the Sun God Nika fruit? Remember, he and the rest of the Roger Pirates know the true history. Nika and Joy Boy both played huge roles in history and now it’s Luffy’s turn to do the same.

It’s also safe to say Gaban will give the Straw Hat Pirates a clue on how to find the final Road Ponegliff at the end of the arc. Despite what Luffy thinks, he’ll definitely see Gaban again, learning of the old man’s connection to Shanks and Gol D. Roger.

We’re introduced to more Holy Knights.

Uh, what about the people living on the island?

Oh, Brother! [One Piece 1137]

Show, Don't Tell.

I guess Oda didn’t get the memo.

Lots of telling in this chapter, huh? It’s all setting up the upcoming conflict and the big Elbaph flashback, of course. Let’s see: Ancient Giants, Loki, Hajrudin, Other Giant Nations, Linlin, Saul, King Harald, King Harald’s Baby Mommas… That’s a lot of ground to cover. Put me down for at least ten Elbaph flashback chapters.

…Oh, what the heck? Make it twelve chapters!

Hajrudin wants to be King of the Pir—erm—Giants. Can we please have a democracy somewhere in One Piece? No? Okay, then.

Also, for someone carrying foreign blood, Hajrudin had the people cheering him on after making his king declaration at the feast. What happened to all the MAGA Giants? Is there a proud giant stealthy waiting in the background to ask Hajrudin for his birth certificate? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

The twist: Shanks is a triplet! See you in 100 chapters, Shamar.

I do like confirmation Giant territories exist outside Elbaph. Where are they? Are they part of the World Government? I hope those questions are answered soon.

Ain’t No Party Like An Elbaph Party [One Piece 1136]

Cause an Elbaph party don’t stop!

And not just any ole party: A Lore Dump Party!

Someone pass me the Hennessey! Woo!

So, Loki was a jerk since day one, huh? Who wanna bet he did all of those “pranks” as a way to toughen up the people of Elbaph? Don’t get me wrong, Loki’s absolutely an arc antagonistic but the Celestial Dragons will always be the worst of the worst in One Piece. I bet the Holy Knights want Loki to kill Luffy AKA Nika 2.0. Why else would they offer him a place at the inbred Celestial Dragon knights table?

Start the countdown for Shank’s flashback, Y’all. It’s gotta happen this arc with his (most likely) brother appearing on the island. I wonder will Shanks himself return to Elbaph and reunite with Luffy? Hmm…

Look. She was in a hurry, okay?! Not everyone has time to put on pants you know.
