National Haki League [One Piece 1165]

Even Rocks can’t handle two powerful Ds at once!

Well, looks like the big DraftKings Haki fight is over.

Winners: Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger

Luckily for them, Gaban and Rayleigh will save those two since defeating Rocks took every ounce of big D. energy they had. Gonna take a lot of V8 bottles and D3 vitamins to get them back on their feet.

Rocks’ Crew have officially broken up. Either “betrayed” by Davy Hasselhoff D. Xebec or just grabbed some loot and bounced. Do I care? No. None of them are worth talking about except for Edward Newgate. I find it interesting Newgate left on Captain Polo Gram’s ship. I never would’ve guessed our favorite Quaker met Marco’s father.

Bye-bye, Polo Gram!

I’ve seen better fight scenes watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

The Devil Went Down to God Valley [One Piece 1162]

King Imu VS Rocks Pirates is happening!

Well, Imu & Saturn VS Davy Tennant D. Xebec, Edward Newgate, and Kaido Smith to be more accurate. But that fight’s setup at the very end. Let’s talk about what happened elsewhere in this chapter.

…Not much.

Seriously. Just a lot of running around and off-screen battles. If I didn’t read this for free, I’d demand my money back and a free pumpkin spice latte!

…Um, Garp finally noticed the hundreds of dead civilian bodies spread across the island. I guess that’s the reason he decided not to be a Navy Admiral, as to not be directly under the Celestial Dragons’ control. Great idea, Garp! Too bad entire civilizations on unaffiliated World Government islands are still dying in Human Hunts and you’re basically letting it happen. But, it’s okay, Y’all. Because even though Garp’s complacent, he feels bad about all the mass murdering and genocide. Ugh!

The Rocks Pirate joining the “No Kings” protest.

There’s still the chance Garp is the one who creates SWORD but again, what’s his endgame?

Yeah. Yeah. Garp Is Super Strong *YAWN!* [One Piece 1161]

What’s so great about God Valley again?

Other than everything that’s happening with Teen Dragon, Baby Shanks, Davy Rocks, Marshall Mathers D. Teech, and the poor innocents being hunted by rich authoritarians with unchecked power…I’m kinda uninterested.

I’m waiting…

I’m waiting to see Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny escape God Valley.

I’m waiting for Dragon to hide Baby Shanks in a treasure cheat so a pirate crew can take him away.

I’m waiting to see Dragon confronting a Garp who seems completely uninterested in acknowledging the Celestial Dragons MASS MURDERING the residents of an entire island!

I’m waiting for Rocks to— Hold up! Let’s talk about Monkey D. Garp for a second.

Garp! Garp! He’s our man! If he can’t do it, no one can!
Except for the Admirals, Holy Knights, Five Elders…

Guess What? Genocide Is Evil [One Piece 1160]

Reading this chapter, I couldn’t stop thinking about Gaza, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and other places in our world where genocide is currently happening.

Because of that, was the toughest chapter of One Piece to get through.

Ah, screw it! No review today, kids. I’m just not up to it. Here, watch this video from an interesting One Piece YouTuber I recently discovered. Redgeek, out.

All The Single Kuja [One Piece 1156]

Eiichiro Oda screwed the Kuja Pirates. And not in a good way.

It’s bad enough Amazon Lily’s current head honcho’s known more for her beauty than talent. But, in today’s chapter, we learn that’s always been the case!

The Kuja Pirates aren’t dangerous because of their resources, or skill, or strength. No. It’s because they’re attractive.

That’s it.

If they happened to be gorgeous but still kick ass like Wonder Woman or Xena: Warrior Princess, fine. I’d have no problem with that. They’ll just be powerful fighters who happened to be attractive. BUT! Making Boa Hancock, Glorioso, and Shakky’s beauty their defining trait (and the ONLY reason they win fights) is lazy.

And just plain misogynistic.

Oh, please! Cara Delevingne did the same flip at her photoshoot last month in 12-inch pumps while holding two bouquets of roses. Poser!

Let’s talk about the second, better half of this chapter, shall we?
