Spoil Me! One Piece

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! This is the one where we finally get to see some of Robin's past and where she grew up, how she was raised, and how she learned so much about archaeology and the ponoglyphs. We also meet a new giant! Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! In this installment of the attack on Enies Lobby, the gang's all here! (No really, someone literally says that in the dialogue!) But Robin is still determined to not be rescued, and Franky is losing his patience with her. Meanwhile, Sanji is just a mess, and Zorro still has no sense of direction. Thanks so much for listening, and I wi...

Thank you ever so much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! This is the section where it looks like everyone is about to level-up in terms of their powers, whether it be by sheer force of will or through consuming a Devil Fruit. I'm very curious to see what the powers will be that the CP9 agents have just acquired, and of course I desperately wanna know how Luffy's hot water bottl...

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! This is the one where the Rocketman finally manages to catch up with everyone else at Enies Lobby and sails right up over the walls and gates to land smack in the outer courtyard. Meanwhile, we've got a villain monologuing and getting his head almost bitten off, Zorro smug AF that he's more recognizable than Sanji, and Nami...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! This trio of episodes starts us off on the Enies Lobby arc, and we've got new music too which I forgot to mention in the recording! (I like the new music this time around, I'm a fan of the faster beat because it suits the sort of frantic vibe of the show.) This is when Luffy kicks things off by launching himself over the gates, in com...

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! This duo of eps felt really strange and disconnected to me, and I think I'm going to let my show-notes at that and you can listen to exactly what I mean. Thanks, and I will see you again soon!

Thank you ever so much to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones in which we get even more fighting against the crazy cook, Frankie going up against Nero, and Usopp desperately trying to convince Robin to let herself be rescued. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones in which we meet Sogeking, Usopp's alter ego, which is designed to shield him from the shame he feels after everything that has happened between him and the Strawhats while allowing him to participate in Robin's rescue. It's a great idea and I love it. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon...

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where Luffy and Zorro finally manage to escape the places they got trapped after their fights with Lucci, and they decide that they're going to risk it all to save Robin from the dire fate that awaits her on Enies Lobby. Kokoro has a trick up her sleeve named Rocketman, and a lot of people besides the Strawhats...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! In this trio of episodes, we find out about the deal that Robin made to turn herself into the marines in exchange for their restraint in attacking Water 7 because she was so intent on saving the friends that she made in the Strawhats. We also see that there's a distinct similarity in the way that Robin ignores the potential consequenc...

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! In this trio, we get to see some of the history of Water Seven's sea train and its creator, Tom. Turns out that Kokoro was his wife, and sheand Tom took in Icebarg and Franky as apprentices and taught them a great deal about shipbuilding. But sadly, Tom didn't have a lot of interest in playing by the usual rules when it came to client...

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! I'm really loving the direction things are going in, both with Frankie turning out to be Not So Bad, and the fact that there's a spirit to the Going Merry that manifested for Usopp to see and hear. There's something very touching about all of this, and I'm fascinated to see what happens with this ship and what happens to Frankie. Than...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! So this is when we find out that Frankie is actually part of Icebarg's backup plan, and it has to be really embarrassing for Icebarg that Lucci figured it out like this. However, Frankie is off somewhere harassing Usopp so it remains to be seen just how CP9 is going to get the blueprints from him. Meanwhile, Luffy punches ineffectuall...

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! So this is the episode where we get the big reveal on who the CP9 assassins/agents are, and this is a genuinely surprising reveal. I wasn't ready for ANY of this, and I'm kind of delighted. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you all soon with a new episode!

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where the storm is ramping up, and Nico Robin finally tells Sanji and Chopper that she's a crimey criminal and she doesn't plan on coming back with them. Meanwhile, the whole city is trying to chase the Straw Hat crew and Frankie is going to go grip up poor Usopp AGAIN. Thank you for listening, and I will s...

Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones where we finally get to see what Frankie is made of...and it turns out he's made of a lot more metal than I expected. Also, we've got the shooting of Icebarg, and I'm really not sure what the hell the deal is with Nico Robin being involved. I'm not SURPRISED she's involved, but I don't understand it. Oh also there's...

Thank you to Trish for joining me on these episodes, which were very upsetting and it was good to have a friend to lament to about them. These episodes are the ones where Usopp leaves the crew, and then challenges Luffy to a duel for the Going Merry. I hated them and they made me so sad and I don't know what the hell is going to happen now. Thanks for listening, and for the moral support, and I wi...

Thank you Gabriela for commissioning this episode! These two episodes focus on everyone learning that the Going Merry might not be reparable, and Luffy is having a really hard time with it. He seems to finally decide that it's time to say goodbye, but I'm not sure the rest of the crew is going to agree. Meanwhile, poor Usopp is being used as a punching bag by the Frankie Family, who first stole 20...

Thank you very much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're still here in Water 7 and the crew is all up to their own stuff. Zorro is guarding* the ship, Sanji is collecting ingredients for dinner, Chopper is still looking for Robin (who herself is doing something we still don't know about), and Luffy, Nami, and Usopp are trading in their gold and hiring someone to repair the Going Merry...

Thank you to Michael for commissioning this episode! It's time to start a new arc, and our friends are pulling up to a dope new island called Water 7, which is a lot like Venice, Italy with a giant fountain in the center. There's something kind of suspicious going on with all these people who are so overly friendly, and what's up with these masks? I'm concerned.

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! I'm so delighted that we're getting such a dope new villain. Well, I'm actually not sure if I would count Aokiji as a villain exactly, but he's certainly an antagonist and someone that I'm looking forward to seeing more of. His power is completely out of control, and his attitude does not match up with it at all. Thank you all so much fo...

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! This is the group where we say farewell to the Foxy Pirates, jump over a filler arc, and then say hello to the Foxy Pirates again. Which I think is great because I'm loving the weirdness of this crew so much. Thank you again for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! So we're into the next round of the Day Back Fights, and at first things start out okay. We've got a very intense game of Red Light Green Light, there's the usual cheating and goofiness, and I'm into it. But then. Then, my friends. Luffy walks out with an Afro. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where the team plays roller derby against the Foxy Pirates, and they actually manage to get Chopper back. However, Luffy is immediately baited into agreeing to another round, and you know what, I'm not mad about it at all. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited about this arc, and I lowkey wouldn't mind staying here for a while because the combination of no collateral damage and the goofiness of the games themselves is really hitting a sweet spot for me. It's also great to get to see the gang all together and not getting separated from one another! Thanks again to you all for l...
