Hey!
I've known One Piece existed since forever, but I wasn't interested in it until late 2020 when I really became interested in the yet-unresolved-mysteries of the series as well as all the theorizing side of the community that is unmatched by any other manga (or fictional piece of work for that matter).
I caught up to date around 998-999 and here I am now lol. I've been lurking and reading forums like Arlong Park and the Discord since then but I guess this week's chapter was just the perfect cathalyst for me to actually join.
Anyway, that's all for me, so thanks for reading! Cheers!
