The start of a new adventure is always the best thing! Or it would be if Ryuunosuke wasn't the best thing. Robin's reaction... Also Robin's morbid guess about the monkey. I like that in this crew with a bunch of over the top characters, she's just so incredibly deadpan, but no less ridiculous. KoB posted:Shes even got long wavy hair like Nami. Thats totally nami. Monkey thing was Chopper. And what's more he was making ninja sounds, and so was presumably the ninja that the samurai were looking for. If this minkmen transformation thing is at all true.

This is definitely giving off a Skypiea vibe right off the bat, including them apparently walking right into the middle of a tribal warzone right from the word go.

What about Elbaf? Thriller Bark presumably. And then Raftel can be Saobady, with Mariajois being Marineford. Which just leaves Long Ring Long Island to figure out.

Nami was wearing a different outfit when we saw her last, so either she gave her top to the mink person or the minks raided their stuff. Sorry "mink tribe = animal people" peeps Also I noticed upon rereading that the gates they enter say "MOKOMO DUKEDOM" on them. Mokomoko means fluffy, as in fur.

The "she's floating" line makes me think it was Geppou/Moon Step.

I think what he's noting is how she redirected her momentum in midair; that's not something a lot of people have done that I remember without special powers. She 'floated' over his sword according to the sound note, ended up behind him, then redirected herself down at him without touching the ground or something else.

I thought the "floating" referred to her hovering above him and attacking

Given Geppou has a pretty established visual cue/movement pattern this doesn't resemble, I highly doubt this is the same thing. Honestly it's pretty neat to see A girl actually put Zoro on the back foot right out of the gate after how poo poo the last few arcs have been about either of those things happening

Yeah one thing Oda's great at is making it clear when something is new to a character and when it's something we've seen before. Zoro definitely has seen geppou enough to recognize it. I think what happened was she was charging him, then changed direction without touching the ground, floating to above and behind him, and struck with what appears to be some sort of lightning attack? The lighting of the shot makes it seem like light came from her attack as well, so some sort of electric-charged gloves, perhaps? Or a fruit/nanomachines thing unrelated to the gloves and she just fights with her claws.

Yeah it hasn't come up in a while because everyone is all nice and established with your log poses and your magic the gathering cards, but it doesn't matter if you can punch a mountain if you end up starving to death in the middle of the tractless sea.

Maybe it'll grow on me, but as of now this is the first new island that doesn't immediately captures my attention. Kinda meh on the Minkmen so far (though to be fair, we have not seen a whole lot of them yet) and maybe the elephant thing will play into it more. But as of yet it feels kinda meh. Same with this chapter really. (dragon part not withstanding, of course)

Going with the whole "different levels of similar fruit powers" hypothesis, she could have some kind of fruit similar to Shiki which enables her to levitate/float and redirect herself midair.

Now that I think about it, there's an even more mundane explanation for Nami's bikini top to show up without her. Pappug has a store on the elephant where the minkmen shop and this minkman has the same taste as Nami.

I'd think it could have been magnetism since it almost looked like she repelled away from Zoro's sword. But yeah Kidd has that already.

Reading that color version from the beginning I realized that Morgan is the guy Kuro had hypnotised into turning in "Captain Kuro" and Wapol's white cape is actually the skin of this wooly rhino's brother. Jesus Wapol is an rear end.

The bunny girl has the pole pole fruit which lets her change her polarity to either attract or repel herself from her target. I think this could also explain the electricity-looking stuff? I'm dumb and barely remember anything from school.

I just watched the One Piece filler arcs I hear are generally considered the best (G-8 and Ice Hunters). Previously the only OP fillers I'd seen were the Warship Island arc and some of the movies, which were not very good even for shonen filler, and the summaries I'd read of some of the other filler arcs weren't very promising either. G-8 and Ice Hunters were better than the other One Piece filler, but still not really good. On the plus side, G-8 showed the Straw Hats actually doing their professions (Chopper treating patients, Sanji cooking, Usopp firing a cannon). It had a villain who was actually intelligent (Kuro was supposed to be this, and an SBS states that he's really smart, but that's not how he's actually written). It gave us a sense of the Marines as a subculture. The way the Straw Hats got away in the end was also clever. It broke the mold of the One Piece arc structure while still fitting into the manga's plot and setting. It didn't even have any of those little kids One Piece filler loves. On the minus side, it felt like the Straw Hats were less violent than would normally be in character for them in order to make the plot work. Similarly, Jonathan is strangely easygoing for someone who's supposed to be on good terms with Akainu. These are quibbles, though. The more important issue is that it didn't quite feel tense enough, even when Luffy was stuck in a seastone net. I'm not sure how much of this is due to the Straw Hats' enemies explicitly going out of their way to capture them alive, how much to the fact that those enemies, for all their special equipment, were mostly generic Marines, and how much to the anime's odd reluctance to show characters really getting injured. I think I subjectively enjoyed Ice Hunters more. It was a more traditional One Piece arc, where a group of enemies is introduced as the Straw Hats explore a new area, the enemies give the Straw Hats some trouble, they beat all the enemies except the main one, and then Luffy beats the main villain. It had two little kid characters, but they were both tolerable (and it felt like Lil was a child mainly to provide an antagonist Robin would have moral qualms about snapping the spine of, rather than the anime writers' usual weird misunderstanding of One Piece's escapist appeal). It indirectly touched on the question, "What would happen to Luffy if Zoro died?" and it's interesting to note that the implied answer (he'd experience genuine self-doubt for once, but it wouldn't break him in the long term) matches what actually happened in the manga when Ace died. Some of the villains had neat gimmicks, and Don Achino even gave Luffy a tense fight. On the other hand, there was sometimes that strange sense (common in filler, not just for One Piece) that the protagonists are holding back for no particular reason. It takes place after Enies Lobby, but aside from Luffy using Gear 2 and Franky being a crew member, no one really does anything that they couldn't have done back in Skypeia. The anime's reluctance to show injuries also made it hard to tell when attacks were actually supposed to be accomplishing anything. The way Luffy won in the end was kind of bullshit; while just ignoring the pain should be useful against a heat power to a point, Achino was presented as a threat because he could physically melt something he touched entirely. (If you really want to rationalize it, maybe Luffy was unconsciously using Color of Armaments there? Was that even a thing in the manga when that arc was written?) Also, the magnetic twins are a good example of the anime writers' tendency to exaggerate the anything-can-happen aspect of the One Piece universe; odd abilities and phenomena in One Piece usually get some kind of explanation eventually.

I mostly like G8 because it's different, the Straw Hats sneaking through a Marine base is still something that hasn't really happened yet. The closest things have been punching their way through Enies Lobby and Luffy getting into Impel Down. They can't just bust their way through everything because the situation is so heavily stacked against them with the Merry essentially being held hostage and all their Skypeian gold locked in a vault. The fact that they had to sneak around and blend in was cool.

Mini mini giant would have been a great crew addition. Just never, ever do that cringe worthy combo ever. Also there's a bazooka that ate the alpaca fruit named Alpacacino.
