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***.

Ain’t no dang-darn-doobley way the Rocks Pirates didn’t notice Rocks was possessed!

Seriously, Oda? Big Mom, Kaido, and Edward Newgate never noticed their CAPTAIN—whose body grew larger, gained monstrous fangs, sounds different, and sprouted WINGS—was being controlled by the giant monster who’d impaled him just a moment ago?

Hey. Come over here a moment, Oda. Come on, this won’t take but a second…

Let me guess, you didn’t know how to breakup the Rocks Pirates when you first introduced the idea earlier in the series, right? It’s okay. You can tell me.

…Yeah. I thought so.

Look. It happens. You write something cool then can’t quite make the plot fit perfectly to justify it, so you do what you can hoping no one notices. Don’t worry, we forgive you!

Imu: ♫It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me♫

It’s fitting Imu’s the One Piece devil because he’s boring as Hell.

And my lack of interest in this Super Duper Big Bag is one big reason why I’m not loving this part of the flashback.

Imu rules the world!

Imu’s evil to the core!

Imu’s uber-powerful!

Yeah…but what’s Imu’s motivation? What’s his endgame? He mentions wanting a perfect world. What does that mean? The total destruction of all sentient life? To flood the planet in order to have the largest swimming pool ever? Give me something, Oda.

I know. I know. All will be revealed later. Yeah, like in the final arcs of the damn story! That’s just not soon enough for me. Especially, with all we have to chew on until the final flashback is an overpowered monster with the personality of a packet of mayonnaise.

Forget Imu’s origin. The biggest mystery box is how Garp kept his job after punching his boss’s bosses’ boss.

Look, I’m just tired of all the mystery boxes. We’re getting the barebones minimum of the history of the One Piece world in a part of the series where the author himself has said it’s the story’s final saga. Nothing wrong with mystery boxes, but too much of a good thing can ruin a story for some readers. The constant teasing of future reveals, the slow IV drips of new lore, and the unnecessary and overblown use of silhouettes of characters that don’t have to be silhouetted just to drum up hype. Hey, Oda-sensei? GET ON WITH IT!

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?

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…

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.

…

……

Da-ba-dee, da-ba-di! Bluegeek’s here to save the day! You brats want a review? I’ll give you one.

At God Valley, the Celestial Dragons are on vacation just trying to have a little fun, but Baby Monkey D. Dragon’s all “Boo hoo! People are dying!” People die all the time! Dragon definitely gets a weather devil fruit ’cause that guy’s a total snowflake.

Wowie Zowie! I don’t even know where to begin!

You know what? Let just go through the chapter and talk about everything that comes to mind, okay?

Shakky. She’s just there to be the ultimate damsel-in-distress. That’s her role in the story: To get the Roger Pirates to God Valley. …Ow! I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my skull. Next!

Looks like Wang Zhi was the government narc all along. That slimeball really set himself up good, considering he controls Pirate Island for decades until Blackbeard’s takeover. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, kids. Let me know when you find it.

Garling is such a bastard! He found his God Valley hookup just to kill her. What a great villain to hate. It’s no wonder Shamrock’s a total dickhead too. I can’t wait for both of their downfalls.

I’m sure you’ve heard of my mother, Catherine Zeta-D. Jones.

Monkey D. Dragon. I’d figure it’d take a while, but it seems like Dragon learned just how disgusting the Celestial Dragons are early in his Navy career. The God Valley incident was plenty enough to send Dragon down the revolutionary path.

So…why is Garp still apart of the organization? What’s going on here? Is Garp somehow playing some sort of long game against the World Government, or does he truly believe he can change things from within the system? I’m looking forward to Daddy Garp and Dragon’s final conversation before Lil’ D quits the Navy.

All roads lead to God Valley.

If, by roads you mean this flashback.

Shanks and Shamrock were born on God Valley. Interesting. No doubt it’s there where the Roger Pirates found Shanks hidden in a chest. I’m no oracle, but it’s safe to say the twins’ Mom tried to save her sons from either extermination from the Celestial Dragons or from Daddy Garling taking the babies to live in Sacred Marijoa with the rest of the evil douche rulers.

Besides booty, what else did Garling find at God Valley?

Whatever it is, he believes Imu would be interested, so that crosses out reality tv and country music. My guess, Garling either discovered a Road Ponegliff or something related to Joy Boy. Maybe God Valley’s where the OG pirate was laid to rest after dying.

Here’s a wacky idea, Rocks: TELL Harald about Imu!

Could that be how Imu eventually got Joy Boy’s straw hat? Hmm…

Is this how the Rocks Pirates/Roger Pirates rivalry starts?

Both legendary pirate crews fighting over Shakky like she’s an object to be won? Yeah. It’s Oda we’re talking about. No doubt it’s how it all starts.

If Gloriosa’s in love with Gol D. Roger, why is she apart of Rocks D. Xebec’s crew? Did she just join them because she can’t hang out on Amazon Lily and they’ll eventually run into Roger? Is Gloriosa the eventual mother of Marshall D. Teech? No, wait. Gloriosa’s last name isn’t Teech, it’s… Ooooh! We don’t know yet. Hmm…

Interesting how we see the Rocks Pirates robbing a corrupt charity organization. Did Oda do that to make Rocks a more complicated character? Or, did he do so to keep Edward Newgate (Whitebeard)’s deeds relatively clean?

Maybe both.

I find both the how and why Rocks’ trying to takeover the world interesting. How do you defeat such a powerful group as the World Government? And is Rocks doing all of it because he thinks the Celestial Dragons deserve to be dethroned or is he simply doing all of this because he’s a megalomanic?

Maybe both.

How does Rocks know about Monkey D. Garp’s hatred of the top brass? Is it widely known or is there more going on here? Could Rocks have his own double agent working for the Navy? Hmm…

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?
