@ Nami and Muse: Oh, thank you, I'm glad someone reads them c:
Finished Thriller Bark. Would have finished earlier, but funny story. Went out to eat lunch and was actually invited to go to a party. Spending time with IRL friends > rereading One Piece.
Anyways, here it is~
! Unluck’s Amazing 4-Week Long Reread of the Amazing Manga Series One Piece and Her Comments on Her Experience Doing So
Day 22: September 17: Thriller Bark part 2 – 467 to 490
! * “Power of Destruction”…I have to say it. I think this may be haki. I don’t know. I think everything may be haki now.
- Damn, that must be really hard to walk, let alone run and fight on.
- Why is his wound on fire? Did they ever explain that?
- I love Shuusui, that sword has such a cool design.
- Damn, to have one of your inspirations turn out to be someone like Hogback…sorry, Chopper.
- Dude, Hogback. Get a life over admiring some star.
- Even as zombies Sanji and Zoro find a way to fight.
- Oh, Poor Cindry-chan.
- I like Chopper’s little speech about Luffy not caring if you were a human or not, he treats you the same.
- Hah, Zoro just looking interested about fighting Oars.
- So, the moon people. Were they both the Skypieans and the Shandians? It looks like them.
- Hah, the scanlator made a typo. Gomu gomu “tickle” rather than “sickle.” Nice.
- That whale reminds me of the Moby Dick. Which is sad because it’s dead. Sob.
- Wait a minute. Are they underwater in this colorspread? Damn.
- If that was the first thing I woke up to I would scream. At the top of my lungs. And then try to kick him in the balls.
- Oh wow. Totally forgot about Lola for a couple of chapters. But Oda obviously didn’t.
- Dude, Absalom. You don’t have to blow up a chick just cause she loves you.
- Nice victory pose, Nami.
- Oh, apparently I forgot that Lola knew that Nami was a woman.
- And now the Bilkans descend to Earth using balloons? It doesn’t work that way.
- Tactics Fifteen. Oda needs to have this work someday. I need to see the finished project.
- Godamnit Robin. Just join it!
- I’m with Oars on this one. I was super excited for it to happen. I still am.
- I love it when Franky uses his shipwright skills in battle.
- All the combo attacks are making me giddy.
- I’m ashamed to admit it, but when I saw Kuma here again I didn’t recognize who he was.
- These creepy faces are fucking amazing.
- Haha, I liked Oar’s little happy face moment there when he thought there was meat.
- Kuma’s past and what the fuck is going on with him now is one of the things I’m most interested about in the series.
- You have to admit, Kuma sent Perona where she wanted to go.
- And she’s gone. Just like that. Poof.
- And here is where Zoro proves how well he knows Luffy, both his strengths and his flaws.
- I really like that radio mic denden mushi.
- Usopp, who cares if milk doesn’t actually work that way? It’s awesome. Besides, Zoro heals from sake. They makes much less sense.
- Godamn awesome combo moves.
- I’m pretty good at Jenga, if I do say so myself.
- I remember, when I read this for the first time, I was like “Did…did he just fucking stretch?!”
- Oh! Oh holy shit! Totally just realized that the two main subordinates of Lola are the shadows of the two squirrel zombies.
- It bothers me that the crate says ‘salamander farm’ when the farmer is an iguana.
- Luffy using a sword is very…interesting. Not bad, just interesting.
- Wow you guys, really? You just keep the random shadows instead of letting them go to the person they belong to? That’s nice.
- Nightmare Luffy…just scares me. I know that he is an amazing badass power up, but he still scares me.
- “His power level’s gone up by 8 miles!” I’m just going to have to say it. No, it’s over 9 thousand!
- Brook as a lightning skeleton is so badass. I have no words.
- Dude, where the fuck did those scissors come from?
- If that isn’t Oar’s original arm, whose arm is that?
- You know, that kinda sounds like a death Luffy would had.
- And imagine, all Oars needed was a hat made by Ace to protect him from the cold!
- Well, that plan failed. Good try though.
- I really just can’t get over how Nightmare Luffy looks.
- Yeah, that’s right motherfucker! He just stopped your rifle with his hand. Take it, bitch!
- There can only be one!
- Well, this is an extremely creepy cover page.
- See Kishimoto, this is how you make someone a ray of hope. Not through cheesy and random spreads of rainbows.
- Hah, that’s right Moria! Pow, right in the kisser!
- Pandaman.
- Godamn. And they all just get right back up. I love this crew. Every single damn one of them.
- And the whole crew working together is just so much love.
- And that’s motherfucking anatomy at work.
- Sad to say, Moria is right about them not being ready for the New World. But as soon as we see them next they will be. The month of hell is almost over!
- See, in One Piece, absolute assholes have a reason to be that way. I mean, it doesn’t excuse it, but at least they have that.
- Well damn Moria, now you just look like a fat lizard.
- Ugh. I am getting so much lag now. It’s like the site knows that I am at the climax.
- It’s one thing to run away and live in the shade, but it’s another altogether to just move your head to the side to avoid being burned.
- Nope, you stomping on Luffy in a box did nothing. Please try again.
- Gear Second and Third at the same time. So badass.
- Hah, crushed by your own ship. Bitch.
- I love the different reactions we got to see of everyone who got their shadows back.
- I like the crew’s little moment of them discussing about how Luffy is too hard on his body.
- Well fuck. That sucks.
- Hah, I love that the crew just gets happy after hearing Kuma compliment them.
- Oh jeez, I love this attack by Kuma.
- No way would they give up their captain! I love this crew. No hesitation.
- Goddamnit Kuma. When is your backstory going to be revealed?
- This, I would have to say, is the most poignant showing of how much Zoro’s character has changed. In the beginning of the series he said that he would gut Luffy if he ever got in the way of his dream, and now he is willing to give his life in exchange for the safety of his captain.
- Damn Luffy is in a lot of pain.
- And now Zoro is.
- “Nothing happened.” You are such a manly man Zoro. Seriously.
- That armlet is really cool, I’m actually kind of disappointed he gave it to Buggy. Oh well, it had to be done.
- So, if Lola can kind of remember knowing Nami, can Sanji kind of remember beating up Robin?
- Ah, sunbathing. I miss the hammock in my backyard.
- Sanji and Zoro may fight all the time, but they really do respect each other.
- I wonder if Luffy will ever find out what happened here.
- “These guys are just so cool…and their captain’s just amazing.” And that is how I feel about this series.
- If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. I want to go to a Straw Hat party.
- Considering sake has been proven to heal Zoro before, I think Luffy may be on to something.
- I love Binks’ Sake. It’s a great song.
- Luffy is just hanging around on the top of the piano.
- Brook crying is such a touching scene for me.
- Laboon was such an adorable baby whale.
- Damn, Brook did you have to wake them up like that?
- I have deciede to play Binks’ Sake Strawhat version while going through this flashback.
- Damn I love Yorki. His design, his character, just awesome.
- Is that Pandaman’s ship? Damn.
- I really want to see more fights like this. Ships vs. ships. Battles while sailing.
- Damn, I’ve heard of the puppy dog look, but Laboon’s baby whale look takes the cake.
- I love that Yorki’s name is based on a real pirate. Well, at least the Calico part.
- Damn Crocus looks so much younger.
- This scene with Brook seeing all of the skeletons of his dead crew…it’s just heartbreaking. Did they cut this out of the anime? I don’t remember.
- I want to see Yorki’s bounty!
- Technically, there is a chance that Yorki is still alive. He’d be really damn old and had to survive both his disease and the Calm Belt, but there is still a chance.
- Brook has probably gone crazy. I have no doubt that he has mental scars from 50 years of almost no human interaction.
- I can understand being able to lift the top of his head off, but why does his afro come with it? Well, actually…I guess that makes sense, with the roots and all…
- Godamn I love Brook. I wish that his old crew could meet his new crew. Oh, the fun they could have. Well, let’s leave that for the afterlife. And the fanfics.
- One of those guys really does look like Lucci. I remember some little fanfic drabble discussing how he could be his grandfather.
- Oh damn, never realized that the manga gave us full lyrics to the song.
- I miss Brook’s glasses, those things were cool.
- Yes, yes! Brooke has finally officially joined! I love this crew and I don’t give a flying fuck how many times I say it.
- That is such a fucking badass tombstone.
- I happen to like “Lion-chan” as a name for the Thousand Sunny.
- “I’m afraid I’m just too super for you.” That is quite possibly the greatest way to turn someone down. Maybe ranks above even the Reject Hotline.
- Pirate Empress Hancock, is this the first time she is mentioned? I don’t know.
- I still think that Lola’s mom is Big Mum.
- And to think, at this point in the manga I had totally forgotten about the piece of paper Ace gave to Luffy. Just goes to show how far in advance Oda plans everything.
- Damnit damnit damnit. What the fuck is in the mist. That will never stop bothering me until it is explained.
- Oh Garp and his tea and crackers… I just got a new One Piece mug in the mail today, I feel like I should make some tea.
- Oh my god, circle rainbow all the way! So intense! It’s starting to look like a spherical rainbow!
- And thus they reach the Redline. Sorry guys, this is where your true troubles begin.
- Damn, looks like Zoro is lifting 4 tons with his thumbs. Holy shit.
- 5 meters? That isn’t a lot, I think that may be a translation error. Alright, just looked it up. It is apparently 5000 meters. That makes a lot more sense.
- I wish that when I was reading this for the first time I was as big of a fan of One Piece that I am now because then I may have noticed that she was in Hachi’s coverstory.
