I rediscovered one piece about a year ago after always hating the show for being silly. (You can thank 4 kids for that one…) But then I watched the anime with an open mind because I heard that 4 kids butchered it so I figured I'd give it another go not expecting much. I was blown away by the characters and the world. I was sold after we met sanji. Then I went back and read the manga twice. I was engulfed in the world that Oda had built but none of my other friends watch it. So for the last like year I've just had all these crazy thoughts about the show and no one to talk to them about it. I never used forums before but I had used this website a few times to find out something about One Piece.
So I finally decided to join the forum because you guys all look like you love the show and have great ideas so I'm just excited that I found a place to finally get some of these ideas out of my head. So yea I'm glad to be a new member.
