Has Sanji's Okama Kenpo cooking ever been brought up again since it was first mentioned? I vaguely recall it coming up on Punk Hazard maybe? Between Franky, Chopper, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji Luffy's crew is actually one of the more 'technologically' advanced crews we've seen and it would be dope if this arc with Vegapunk brings back and maybe even enhances some of those older skillsets since most of this crew likes to tinker more than train.

Unfortunately no it has not, and you are correct that we haven't heard anything about Kempo cooking since Sanji fed the community post-PH victory cooldown. I was actually pretty disappointed, that was a cool idea! Would have been amazing to watch some of the crew power up from the superfood they ate, but I guess extra muscle power ain't useful when you fight Big Mom and Kaido, both of which are rampaging meat cubes

my guess would be that kenpo cooking was oda's initial idea for helping sanji to keep relative power parity, but he eventually decided to lean more into the germa augmentations angle and leave the "guy with weird toolkit of situational tricks" gimmick more to usopp

Rereading one piece physical again is magical. I pay so much more attention to the art than when I'm reading online for some reason. I'm most of the way through EMPEROR BUGGY and lmao. But man I forgot how brutal the shanks pirates are

The implication is that it's happening in the background. Sort of a passive buff to all the off screen training that is always happening. Sanji's cooking is like Nami's navigating, it's always going on but only very occasionally is actually shown. Whenever you don't see them on panel, and they aren't explicitly doing something else, it's safe to assume that

P-Mack posted:And that's why it whips that Luffy's big dramatic display of resolve in that arc isn't "I'm going to beat Enel and save the island”, it's "I'm gonna ring that bell!” I think Skypiea also rules because it's one of the very few actual adventure islands in the series. Like, Luffy hears about Sky Island from Robin, decides he wants to go there, and the gang to go Jaya and meet Montblanc Cricket and his crew and they work together to secure a path before it's too late. Also Bellamy is there and we get one of the most iconic punches in the manga. I'd say it was "The Punch" until we got to Saboady where Luffy punched Charlos. Generally, the gang don't really go blindly into things, most of their visits to islands are by necessity or because it's part of an overarching quest. Like the Baratie arc is because the crew realizes they need a cook, and also because Luffy accidentally shoots a canon at the restaurant while fighting the Marines. This leads to Arlong Park because Nami makes off with the Going Merry so Luffy wants to get his ship back + convince Nami to rejoin them. The Alabasta arc is also a series of adventures that are all focused on the goal of beating Crocodile and saving Vivi's nation, with stops like Drum Island being of necessity (to get a doctor to treat Nami). Water Seven was yet another necessity as the crew needed to fix their ship, and Enies Lobby is a Robin Rescue arc that's intertwined with Water Seven. Thriller Bark is the gang getting caught by a trap. Saboady is a necessary stop before going to Fishman Island, Thriller Punk is a detour caused by a distress call (Luffy originally wanted to visit the most dangerous island offered by the Log Pose, which was the island with constant lightning that Smoker was waiting for him in), and Dressaroa was the result of an alliance with Law. Zou is a meetup point for the alliance, Whole Cake Island is the Sanji Rescue arc, and Wano is also a part of the alliance with Law and also a promise with the samurais. But in the case of Skypiea, the gang had the option of just waiting for their Log Pose to reset, because nobody believed Sky Island existed. But Luffy decides he wants to go to Sky Island instead of waiting it out. Also, the vast, jungles, the various trials, the new culture of Skypiea, etc. just make it a really neat adventure, up until around Luffy & Sanji & Ussop beat Satori. So it rocks.

Some stuff on reread: Funny that Bellamy's crew gets this full introduction and it turns out that they're all entitled rich kids who decided to go out and play pirate (which is why Dofflamingo doesn't care for Bellamy).  This is a nice moment between Nami and Ussop, I sorta miss these kinds of moments. I like that the Straw Hats are a bigger crew, but it does sorta come at the expense of the more personal moments between characters, I think.  This page is neat because for once, Ussop's the one not freaking out while Sanji is. (Nami always freaks out so she doesn't count.)  This one's pretty cute cause it's early on in the adventure and Chopper is still new to the whole pirate thing (since he joined mid-Alabasta saga), so he's stoked to be in a beach for the first time ever, and it's not just even a regular beach, it's a cloud beach on Sky Island.

Honestly I really dig the Nami and Ussop friendship cause they bond over being the 2 weak ones in the crew, so they have a sort of understanding with one another. You see them work together a lot, like in the aftermath of Thriller Punk and during Wano (where they, uh, lose to Page One and Ulti). And they end up meeting each other first after the 2-year timeskip, where Nami's so happy to see Ussop again. It's cute. Real nakama stuff.

Luffy has a lot of faith in Zoro's abilities so he's surprised to find Zoro defeated. This scene's pretty dope. Also the scene where Zoro, Gan Fall, Wiper, and Ohm get into a 4-way battle (though mostly it's Zoro fighting Wiper and Ohm fighting Gan Fall cause Gan Fall has no reason to fight Zoro or Wiper).

hatty posted:Skypiea is really the best arc Wiper honestly rules too. Like there's a lot of strong helper dudes in each arc with a strong tie to the arc in question. Like King Neptune and his sons in Fishman Island, Kyros in Dressarosa, the Samurai in Wano, etc. etc. I guess you could also count like Pell and Chaka in Alabasta and the Galley-la carpenters in Water Seven/ But Wiper's the only one who actually fights on same level as Luffy/Zoro/Sanji, and the dude actually does manage to kill Enel for a brief moment before Enel uses his god hax powers to come back to life. Also he's a lot more hostile towards the Straw Hats than the other dudes because he only really joins forces with them in the fight against Enel; he actually spends quite a lot of time fighting Zoro or Luffy before that. Heck, he's the very first dude to attack the Straw Hats when they arrive. His story's also pretty compelling too; he just comes off as Angry Warrior Man (with a very valid reason for his anger) but once you learn about his tribe's history with Noland and consider the fact that his people have been fighting to reclaim their homeland for centuries you get a lot of sympathy for the dude. Which is honestly what makes the survival battle royale in Skypiea pretty fun, because you have 3 parties in Enel and his lackeys, the Shandlia Warriors, and the Straw Hats, with Gan Fall being like a hidden 4th party who's not really hostile towards the Warriors or the Straw Hats. Heck, Wiper takes out one of Enel's elites by himself. You have stuff like Chopper saving one of Gedatsu's minions from being drowned and then the minion immediately decides to team up with Chopper because he's loving sick and tired of having to serve an idiot (and then he's immediately jet punched into oblivion by Gedatsu because Gedatsu may be one of the dumbest dudes to exist in One Piece but he's still strong).

The moment where Zoro rushes over to grab Wiper's seastone after Enel revives and takes out Wiper is interesting because we never really see seastone used by the Straw Hats, except when Ussop captures Caesar Clown in Thriller Punk.

That part has one of my (and a lot of people's, I assume) favorite Zoro bits where the gang's being turned into wax statues and Zoro initially tries to cut off his feet to free himself and fight, and then later gives up and decides to strike a cool pose before he dies. Or maybe it was the other way around.
