Spoil Me! One Piece

Thank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode, and my apologies for not being able to properly finish it. This was the last thing I recorded before my computer completely quit on me and had to be brought into Apple for some emergency care. It's too bad that it happened now, because the games with the Foxy Pirates are super fun and I'm very excited to talk about them more, but it wil...

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where our friends begin to get it together to leave Skypeia, and they're under the misapprehension that they have to steal gold because these folks wouldn't give it to them. It turns out that they sail away from a way bigger haul of gold than they could have ever imagined, but seems like Robin isn't going to inform th...

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where Luffy finally manages to defeat Eneru, and he does it using that giant gold ball attached to his hand to disrupt a major Logia that was about to taken out everything in Skypeia. Turns out, Eneru was actually planning to go rule on...the moon? Hmm. Alright, why not. Thanks for listening, and I will see you s...

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're nearing the end of the conflict with Eneru at this point, although he isn't actually beaten yet. Our friends are scheming about how to get the golden bell down, while Luffy keeps attempting to reach Eneru, who continually slaps him down. Enerus debuts a new weapon, a massive sphere of lightning that he slowly lowers down onto Angel Island...

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where we get the story of Kalgara and Noland, and find out that the two had a strange, intense bond despite the misunderstandings and differences in their cultures. Noland was not just devastated to return to the island and hind half of it missing because it was the half with all the gold; he was devastated at the...

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which our friends Sanji and Usopp finally wake up from their electrocution stupor inflicted by Eneru. Welcome back, guys! Also, I cry like a little baby because this was filmed on a bad, bad day. Thanks for listening, everyone, and thank you for your support.

Thank you for commissioning this, Gabriela! In these episodes, Luffy finds out that he's immune to a lot of what Eneru can do because of his whole rubber-man situation. Notice that I said "immune to a lot", not all, because Eneru is a little more creative with his powers than I was predicting and he finds some loopholes to Luffy's immunity. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon...

Thank you to Jessica for commissioning this episodes! These episodes are the ones in which we first hear about Eneru's goals and the "Endless Vearth" that he imagines as a utopia that he gets to rule. Turns out, Eneru thinks that the Sky Islands and its inhabitants are unnatural, and he plans to kill them all and destroy the islands themselves as well. Interesting that he doesn't see himself as be...

Thank you very much to Gabriella for commissioning this episode! So we're still dealing with the giant serpent, but thankfully by the end of these three episodes everyone has finally made it out. Despite this, I'm really curious about what's going on with that snake because he DID cry when he saw the ruins and I don't know what to make of that. Meanwhile, Eneru is lighting up pretty much everyone'...

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! In this episode, Nami finally spanks Yama by using a variety of flower-themed attacks that literally carry him off into the sunset. Eventually she drops down below the surface of the ruins and finds the main part of the city underneath and it's amazing. Meanwhile, Luffy is still trapped in a cave and Zorro is being followed by a giant bi...

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! In these episodes we get the fight between Chopped and Gedatsu, which is weirdly not that unbalanced a fight considering that Gedatsu is a moron and relies on tools for his abilities the same way that Chopper depends on his Rumble Balls. Meanwhile, Yamam attacks Robin while she's exploring some ruins, and she's not pleased at the disrespect on d...

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! In this episode, everyone begins to engage with separate enemies, and Luffy comes face to face with Wyper in an exchange that makes me laugh because Luffy initially begs his pardon before deciding to thrown down. Meanwhile, Zorro is practicing a new technique for long-range attacks, and Chopper comes face to face with a priest of his own. Thanks...

Thank you Gabriela for commissioning this episode! This episode is really full of revelations, and the one that I should have seen coming is about the fact that the Shandorans are from the piece of Jaya that shot into the sky, and they were robbed of their homeland due to the reverence of the Sky people for "vearth", which they don't have much of. It's interesting to hear Gan Fall admit all this,...

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! The gang's all here again, and I'm so glad that we're back to having the crew as a team once again. We find out something really interesting here, and that's the fact that the piece of Jaya that disappeared (and lost poor Noland his reputation and his life) wound up getting caught in the knock-up stream and swep...

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes of the show are all centered around our friends dealing with the separate trials and tribulations, some of them with the priests and some with the guerilla warriors who are about to start a fight with God. They're on their way to reuniting but it's going to be an arduous path to get there, and in the meantime there's a l...

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! So these are the ones in which we find out that Conis and her father are up to no good. It's not entirely their fault, because shit seems like it's being run by a psychotic being bent on low-key fascism, but it's a nicely handled reveal because I had a feeling something was off but I couldn't put my finger on it. Meanwhile, the Going Merry has b...

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! In this section, Nami pulls up on the weird earthlike island called Upper Yard and witnesses a strange scene. There's a group of weirdos with wings ganging up on a tattered man who seems harmless, and they're debating who gets to take him out. In the midst of this, that dude with the bazooka turns up and starts some shit, but then this massive...

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where our friends finally get on the road (so to speak) and manage to catch a ride on the knockup stream to Skypeia. And honestly, the place is rad as hell and I want to go there. But does this place seem too good to be true? I'm worried. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! In this section we get the faceoff between Bellamy the Hyena and the Saruyma Alliance, as the weirdo plunders this harmless home for the gold statue and other random treasure. Our friends are still out there finding one of those damn birds, and they come back to find all their new friends beat to shit. Luffy has HAD it, and decides to take matt...

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are a big improvement on the confusing jumble that I covered last time. We're introduced to a new friend, and some dudes that I enjoyed have returned to be helpful and fun instead of enemies. The whole premise here is that there's possibly a way to launch the ship into the sky, but it's pretty dangerous and it's not even...

Thanks to Florian for commissioning this episode! This one was tough for me, folks. I am hoping that given time, the pieces that these episodes are trying to set up can settle into place...but so many things get introduced in really clumsy ways with very little time to breathe that I felt kind of lost. Hopefully next time it will be a little easier to follow. Thanks for listening, and see you soon...

Thank you very much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're moving onto a new segment of our friends' journey, and we're finding out that our lovely, weird Grand Line might be even weirder than we all thought! Are there floating islands? As far as I'm concerned, why not? Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode and joining me for the recording! These episodes are the ones in which our crew finally leaves Alabasta to head back out for more adventures. Thankfully, Vivi does not come along, but they still wind up with a new woman in their crew after all. SURPRISE! Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! This trio of episodes is the one where we finally get to see Crocodile get defeated, and it's really quite a spectacle. While Luffy is busy kicking his ass into the sky, Vivi is being as ineffectual as ever by screaming from the clock tower at the unhearing crowd below. Eventually, our friends get to rest and eat, and have a bath, and we get a...

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode! So in these episodes, we've got Luffy finally catching up with Crocodile & Co. down in the hidden temple, and starting his fight with a bloody fist which apparently functions in the same way as water. Good thinking, dude! Meanwhile our friends above ground are scrambling to get to the cannon that is poised to hit the square, and we unexp...
