Oh, no! King Harald’s gone crazy!

Anyway, pass me another glass of eggnog. *BURP!*

See? That’s why I always tell you kids: Never make deals with the devil!

[And yes, that includes billionaires and movie producers.]

So… How do you kill an immortal ancient giant wearing sexy black leather pants? Easy. Make his sexy ancient giant son in sexy black leather pants eat the royal devil, then beat his father to death with a hammer. DUH!

That’s pretty much the entire chapter. Harald’s compelled to follow Imu’s orders to turn Elbaph into an army. And Loki’s gotta eat a devil fruit in order to get powerful enough to stop him.

Oh! And Shanks and Gaban show up for the assist. So, yeah, they know the truth about what went down that day. Why didn’t they just tell the citizens of Elbaph Harald went crazy due to a weird power from the World Government? They live in a world full of magical fruit. Not like it wouldn’t be hard to believe. Especially with Chief Jarul and Gaban backing up the story. Can’t tarnish Harald’s legacy, I guess.

Tricked by the EVIL World Government?! You don’t say?

It’s the skeleton guy who turns out to be a DEADbeat dad. Should’ve seen that coming.

Brook was a Celestial Dragon?! Gunko’s his daughter?! What the heck’s going on here? Well, besides Oda giving us an entry into the Celestial Dragon’s backstory. Honestly, I’ve never thought about Brook’s pre-pirate life. I just assumed he was from the same Blue as his previous pirate captain, Yorki. Sorry, Usopp fan(s), your bud’s arc just got hijacked by the Soul King.

Maybe I should’ve seen something like this happening. Gunko’s a woman. And we all know by now Oda goes light on women fighting seriously. And that’s on the small occasions when they do. Nami and Robin’s too weak to pull off a believable win against Gunko, so instead we get a possible redemption arc for our no pants faux god.

I heard Gunko’s Mom is also a living skeleton named Kate Moss.

Not only can King Imu communicate with those who (I assume) he lent his immortality power to, but he can control their bodies when necessary. There’s no leaving Imu’s Gang. You get in, you in for life!

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?

That’s What I Like About These Elbaph Girls; I Get Older, They Stay The Same Age [One Piece 1139]

Alright, alright, alright! Let’s talk about ~~Mr.~~ Ya Boi, Scopper Gaban.

It’s not like much else happened in the chapter, right? That’s fine. His official introduction was a long time coming. Even though both hold the role of the “left hand” of their captain, I’m surprised by how much Oda made Gaban’s character like Sanji. Well, a mature Sanji who found love, but still like Sanji. It’s not like Rayleigh’s a mature verison of Zoro. Or, at least I never considered the two alike in personality.

So why the Gaban/Sanji parallel? Is Oda setting up something between the two characters? Will Gaban be Sanji’s mentor like how Rayleigh mentored Luffy? Is this a way of Oda giving Sanji another power-up? Or…could this be a way for Oda to get Sanji to mature as a person? Maybe use Gaban’s influence to calm down Sanji’s girl crazed antics? Not remove it, of course—Oda loves his character gags no matter how stale they become. But, again, give Sanji some character growth and maturity. Yeah, I’m really looking forward to them meeting each other.

Hentai artists are lining up around the block to thank Oda for Gaban x Ripley.
