Spilling The Tea [One Piece 1114]

Joyboy exposé incoming!

Dr. Vegapunk’s about to go full Wendy Williams on Joyboy, the first pirate. Joyboy, the main character during the events of the Void Century. Joyboy, who has a connection to the Ancient Civilization. And, somehow, all of this connects to the sea level rising. Hmm…

Vegapunk said the earthquake wasn’t a natural phenomenon. Then someone or something caused it, right? Someone or something linked to the Void Century. King Im? Maybe. Or…

What if the earthquake and rising sea level is being caused by an invention created during the Void Century? An invention powered by the Mother Flame? No, not Uranus (At least I think not). I doubt that’s the only machine powered by a Mother Flame. I’m talking about something else that’s raising the sea level. Yes! I’m a genius!

But… If it’s another machine, why is the sea level changing now? Okay! Maybe it is just Uranus. Either way, I’m betting the culprit is an ancient machine.

And the first to gain pirate booty. Yeah, baby!

One Piece Toilet Paper #2 Best Selling Item Of 2024 [2D News]

One Piece, the popular manga and anime, sells all sorts of merchandise from figurines to sunglasses to school supplies. Surprisingly, the second most popular One Piece merchandise—One Piece t-shirts are the number one best selling product—aren’t posters, toys, or school supplies, but the official One Piece toilet paper.

For those who don’t know, last year One Piece debuted a line of Villain Rolls for fans to express their hated for certain One Piece baddies by giving them the skid mark special, so to speak. Those unfortunate characters with their faces on toilet paper sheets include Buggy the Clown, Wet-Haired Caribou, Jack the Drought, and Arlong the Saw. This year, Rob Lucci, Hordy Jones, and Saint Charlos were added to the popular brand for the sole purpose of being crapped on with future plans for Blackbeard, Sir Crocodile, and Magellan (More of an antagonist than a villain but we get where they’re going with this choice.) to receive their own tissue rolls for “fans” to give them the ultimate mud pie salute.

With demand so high, it was only a matter of time before a new set would be announced. Rival Rolls will be, well, rolling into stores sometime this summer. This set will feature rival characters One Piece fans constantly pit against each other such as Zoro, Sanji, Dracule Mihawk, and “Red-Haired” Shanks.

One Sanji superfan already has plans to camp out at the One Piece Mugiwara Store in Tokyo, Japan the night before release day and has already began eating a diet consisting mostly of artichokes, prunes, and various bean casseroles stating “Instead of a black blade, Zoro’s getting the brown blade he deserves.” He further added, “Yes, I do have a girlfriend.” When pressed for more information, the Sanji fanboy wouldn’t give us her name or any other proof she exists.

Weather Or Not You Believe Me Is Up To You [One Piece 1113]

There’s bad news and then there’s BAD news. Dr. Vegapunk just gave the entire world an excuse to crap their pants at the same time.

That’s right, dear friends. The water level is rising all over the world and it will eventually flood every island in the world! Well, except for Fishman Island… and all the sky islands. And, conveniently, Mary Geoise. Hmm… Is flooding the world Team Imu’s endgame?

Sure, at first I thought, King Imu & The Old Dirty Bastards wanted the Mother Flame just to power Uranus so they can destroy the non-World Government islands and keep absolute power over the rest out of fear via Star Wars‘ evil Empire. But. That’s. Not. Evil. Enough.

Which one of you jerks forgot to turn off the garden hose?

One Piece is a Shonen series and Shonen manga looove mega evil final villains. Destroying the world is the bare minimum requirement for a Shonen final boss. Plus—you know—the Five Elders and Imu aren’t exactly fond of their subjects. They’re all insects to them and Uranus is their big bug zapper from hell.

The Great Escape [One Piece 1112]

Five old men, one admiral, and a ton of fodder are determined to keep the Straw Hat Crew from escaping. Welcome to One Piece, Chapter 1112. But first, a message from our sponsor.

We get what I believe is our first look inside Punk Records. The transmission transponder snail broadcasting the worldwide message is inside… along with something else. With only one minute until Dr. Vegapunk snitches on the World Government—what could St. Mars be looking at? Well, I’m assuming that something is gonna prevent him from destroying the snail. Maybe another Vegapunk Satellite about the hatch from its tank? But, if so, how could they keep Mars from destroying the snail? Hmm…

We know all of the Straw Hats are making it out, but what about their allies? Stussy stayed behind to lower the Frontier Dome at the right moment to allow the others in Labophase to escape. Is she doomed? Well, if she has the strength to fly off the island with her bat powers, then no. But that’s also assuming she can do it undetected. Hope your life insurance is paid, Stussy.

Taylor Swift x One Piece Collaboration Project Announced [2D News]

Miss Americana herself, Taylor Swift, is teaming up with the equally popular Japanese series One Piece for a special anime episode.

Toei Animation, the anime company adapting the manga series every week, has been in talks with the famous singer/songwriter for years for some sort of joint partnership. Fans of the pop superstar have even speculated Uta—a singer created for the movie, One Piece Film: Red—was based off Tay Tay herself.

Details have been sparse but comments from Toei suggest the anime special takes place in the world of One Piece on an island rumored to contain a valuable treasure. There, the infamous Straw Hat Pirates—lead by their captain, Monkey D. Luffy—will team-up with Taylor and her Swifties Pirate Gang to find the treasure rumored to make anyone who possesses it as world-famous as the Pirate King.

Taylor herself commented outside a New York City restaurant on the project saying “I love one piece swimsuits! Huh? Anime? What’s that?”

The episode is expected to air sometime next year.

Elbaph Is The Next Island Destroyed By Uranus [One Piece]

The giants of Elbaph worship the Sun God, Nika. The World Government was to erase anything and anyone connected to him or the Void Century. Doesn’t take a socially awkward One Piece fan with too much time on his hands to figure out Elbaph’s days are numbered!

But why hasn’t the World Government destroyed Elbaph already, you ask? Simple. They can’t!

Elbaph is an island full of warrior giants, for one. That’s more than enough to give the World Government pause. Then, there’s the island’s location in lawless/Yonko territory. Sure, that’s another big problem but Elbaph has been around for centuries, right? You’d think it be worth it to the Five Elders and King Im to destroy the country hundreds of years ago. So, again, why not?

Admiral Kizaru Denies Attending World’s Largest Legalize Marijuana Rally [2D News]

Admiral Kizaru has officially denied attending the world’s largest legalize marijuana rally hosted by Dewing D. Rugs last week as a guest. At a news press conference yesterday, the decorated navy admiral cleared the air by explaining very slowly why his attendance there was only to provide security and maintain order.

“I was there to do my job and only my job. Besides, the good stuff was already sold out. I-It’s my job to know this kind of thing. God, I’m hungry.”

It was later explained by Vice Admiral Smoker that Kizaru was filling in for Admiral Ryokugyu who was hesitint to attend such a rally, fearing for his life due to his devil fruit ability.

We’ve reached out to Mr. Rugs—who currently lives on a farm in the Lulusia Kingdom with his wife and their three children—for comment, but he has yet to return our calls.

PETA accuses Straw Hat Pirates of extreme emotional abuse over calling Tony Tony Chopper “Emergency Food” [2D News]

Last week, the non-profit animal rights organization, PETA, released an official statement condemning the designation of Straw Hat Crew member Tony Tony Chopper as “Emergency Food”.

“PETA recognizes Tony Tony Chopper as an intelligent creature capable of fulfilling the same sailing duties expected of any other pirate of any other species. Any animal forced to live under constant threat of death will no doubt cause said creature enormous emotional and psychological stress and should be considered abuse.”

The statement goes further saying that the talking reindeer should immediately be returned to his native island to live out his days with his own species.
