The crew is ready to depart Ennies Lobby and head back to Water 7, but they did hit a stop on the way back to say goodbye to a much beloved crew member. Upon returning to Water 7, a certain marine has something to say bout the Straw Hats presence.

Finally the crew is reuniting on the bridge thanks to some heroics by Granny Kokuro!! The marines are wrapping up their Buster Call after completely destroying Ennies Lobby. All thats left is taking out the straw hats and getting Nico Robin back into custody. While the crew fends off the Marines, Luffy continues to battle against Rob Lucci. All that's needed now is an escape! Next Week: Episod...

The final fights continue to dwindle down at Ennies Lobby while the Marines arrive just in time for things to get a little crazy. Chimney and Gombey continue to be the stars of the show from the background. The crew is slowly re-convening even with Rob Lucci doing his best to trap them while taking on Luffy. In the meantime, our favorite straw hat boy continues to surprise us with new fighting sty...

Who else is slid into this week like Sanji slid into the fight with Jabra? Pretty much all fighting, but Nami and Sanji are dealing some top tier scenes this week. Not only that, but a certain child and companion almost come in with the MVPiece for the 2nd week in a row. ALMOST. Only 2 CP9 agents left going into next week! We are getting closer and closer to the climax of the Water 7 Arc! Next Wee...

The trio is back this week as we finally dig into the main fighting events. On the match card this week, we have Franky taking on the Chapa Papa himself, Fukuro-und and Find Out. Windego Chopper finally shows himself to take on Kumudori, and Nami steps up to the plate to take on the sexy secretary herself, Kalifa!!! Let's talk about it :) Next Week: Episodes 294-298

We are back this week with possibly one of the best pair of episodes to date included in this set of 5 episodes. While there is great moments, there is also one of the most blah episodes in this set. We are adopting a range of emotions to go over everything that has happening. Robin's backstory gets finished up and Granny Kokuro comes flying in for ANOTHER clutch moment. It's time. The bui...

Luffy whips out some fancy footwork to quickly wrap up his battle with Blueno from the Bar. The question now is how did he do it?...2nd Gear is here, with a capital 2. Finally we are diving in to Robin's backstory and the legendary incident at Ohara. Make sure to tune in next week as we wrap up Ohara and see how Luffy and the straw hats proceed in rescuing there much loved crew mate! Next Week...

This episode only got better. The slower episodes do not hold us back from having a great time!!! This might be one of the more off the rails episodes we have done and it was a ton of fun. The straw hats are getting closer and closer to their destination, in the mean time our gigantic fish friends have fallen. One of them rises again to claim the prize!! Next Week: Episodes 272-276

The crew has finally landed on Ennies Lobby! It is time to saddle up and beat some Marine ass. Behind the aggressive Straw Hat Luffy, Galley La has the head start to pave the way for the rest of the straw hat pirates. In the mean time, we also meet the rest of CP9. It is obvious which half is the CIA half and which half is Team Rocket. The rest of the straw hats charge in next week! Next Week: Epi...

WE ARE BACK after a brief break last week bringing you some very interesting episodes. Big thank you to our friend Garrett for joining us again. The straw hats continue to head toward Ennies Lobby to save their friend Robin. Many obstacles appear in front of them but they have yet to be slowed down. Usopp heads out with his tail between his legs, but luckily one of his friends tags in and takes th...

Our friend Annabelle is back this week to get us on track and bound for Ennies Lobby!! ROCKETMAAANN!!!! Burnin down a field with Carol's bones!! Plenty of gags this week to discuss but shit in Water 7 is starting to get serious. Friends are in trouble and need some help. In the mean time, Luffy pulls out all the stops to show why he is the captain. Ultimately, Chimney is the favorite though......

We finally get to meet Tom! So much information and insight was given in these episodes. Dots are starting to connect and it is time to start gearing up for round 2 of Straw Hats v. CP9! Next Week: Episodes 252-256

We have a full crew including 2 special guests! Thank you Annabelle and Garrett for joining us this week!!! A lot of stuff happened in these episodes and a lot of information revealed this week. The question that everyone has been asking...what is CP9? We now have our answer. We also have even more speculation as to what actually happened in Robins past. Even with the extra thoughts, Robin remains...

The crew works to get over the departure of one of their crew members while simultaneously in denial of the departure of another. Water 7 is going from a lovely quaint city to one of the most dramatic and mysterious locations that we have been to yet. CP9 is here and their motives are still unknown. The straw hats are in the middle of something, but what is coming? Next Week: Episodes 242-246

It was actually a different quote but i didnt want to use that particular expletive in the title of the episode. We are back this week talking about possibly the most serious episodes in one piece to this point. Water 7 is just beginning but Luffy is getting hit hard with lessons on what it means to be a captain. Speaking of captain, Captain Usopp makes some quick decisions and life changes. It&#3...

We are complete again! Welcome back Whitney! But also welcome back to our friend Annabelle and huge thank you for joining us this week. We have finally arrived. It is time for Water 7!!!! One of the most beautiful locations in the world of One Piece, but also one of Oda's best story lines in the world of One Piece. A lot of people acting strange in these episodes and it is time to get all of t...

Luffy barges on to these episodes with a new hair style. He needs something to take the attention away from some of the questionable decisions he has made on Long Ring Long Island. We will all forgive him though...do you know why? He has the power of Afro. Atleast something coming out of this arc is memorable. Next Week: Episodes 226-231 226 is partial filler. The cannon part of the episode does n...

We made the same reference twice in a week. It happened. call it. Time of death? Ok maybe thats a little dark BUT nothing dark happens in these episodes so it balances out. We have reached the Davy Back Games!!!! Luffy got the crew in another pickles and ends up leaving them a man short. Hey....sounds just like us!!! Next Week's Episodes: 214-219

Our friend Garrett has caught up and joined us this week to wrap up the Sky Island Arc!! Thank you for your time Garrett! We get a nice book end from Robin as she continues to lean more and more information about the past. Another connection between Luffy and Roger is causing Whitney to keep notes in her detective book. Luffy tries to have a pirate mindset with a little bit of theft, but the execu...

The full crew is back this week as we begin wrapping up the sky island story. The flashback ends which leads to an emotional resolution of the battle in the present day. The bell has been wrung and now it is time to see the effects of the battle of Upperyard. Next Week: Episodes 193-195

Amanda is back this week as we jump into a fantastic flashback and see what really happened with Noland the Liar. While the plot of the present day didnt necessarily move along greatly, these episodes definitely had their ups! Due to closing in on the end of the are splitting the last 7 episodes up more evenly. Instead of doing 5 and 2 we are going to be doing 4 and 3. Next Week: Episodes 189-192

We are missing a crew member but we must sail on! Finally Luffy and Eneru face off. The initial confrontation does not seem to be going in the direction that Eneru wanted it to. On the other side, Whitney gains a new appreciation for a character that she has disliked for a while now!! Next Week: Episodes 184-188

We are back reviewing the Sky Island Arc. This might be the most off the rails we've gotten though. Not a lot happened in the episodes, but a lot happened in this episode!!! Derek makes a shocking decision at the end of this episode that he still kind of regrets as he is typing this out. HEY! No ragrets... Shoutout to our friend Mad Trivia John for having us on this week. You can find him on y...

Considering we are reviewing the are reviewing a show about pirates and the title of this episode is what it is, I promise that is not where we are going. This time...We are in agreeance on a lot in this set of episodes and it is kind of weird. While a lot of different things happened in these episodes, not a lot of plot was furthered. Now youre curious on how we as individuals and as a team handl...
