Synopsis: Right! So this week’s One Piece starts off with the appearance of a fishman named Vander Decken, who is a Flying Pirates Captain. This pimp-ish looking fella actually has the hots for the mermaid princess, Shirahoshi. However, it seems this his love is unrequited (I mean, look at the guy…he has four legs, wears platform shoes and anklets and he reminds me of Flavor Flav…sex appeal = EPIC FAIL). As a result of being rejected, he often tries to kill her. He received a curse known as Mato-Mato that allows him to have perfect aim at any target he desires and from any distance. Even though he looks retarded it seems as though he is capable of putting up a decent fight. The spotlight then veers to the breast-bouncing Luffy who inadvertently found the giant mermaid Princess Shirahoshi. Naturally, she becomes frightened and starts screaming until Luffy saves her from a large axe that whizzes into the room with terrifying speed just as the large doors are opened. Her vociferous cries alert the attention of the palace guards who come rushing in to see if she is okay. {By this time she grabs and hides Luffy} The guards inform her that the Straw Hat Pirates are now suspects in the mermaid kidnapping and instead of feasting with them, they will be locked in the castle’s prison. After they leave the room, The Princess holds Luffy in her great big hands and with a blush on her face she engages him in conversation about the unfortunate events regarding his crew. What is it with hot girls and Luffy?? Lucky bastard…poor Sanji. The princess tells Luffy that she has been locked up in the tower for 10 years because of Decken’s persistent attempts at taking her life. Luffy then decides that they should get out of the tower together and promises to protect her from danger. Sounds romantic right? Well it’s not. Akainu will bump and grind Boa Hancock before Luffy becomes romantic xD. So! We are then thrown into action with Usopp, Brook and Nami who are surrounded by the castle guards. As they prepare themselves to launch their first attack, the almighty giant, King Neptune, steps in and wields his powerful trident thing. He brings his gigantic weapon down with terrifying force and then….ZORRO!!! (Read the chapter! fufufufu…) Meanwhile, Vander Decken, the pimp who the princess rejected, teams up with Hodi Jones in their quest to wage war against King Neptune and his kingdom! Finally! It looks like we’ll be getting some decent action. After two years of training, I’m dying to see the Straw Hat Pirates do some serious damage. Keep your fingers crossed!
Best Character: Zorro!
Worst Character (s): Castle guards…and even though he’s not in this chap – Caribou! Franky needs to slap him around.
Likes: Even though there was a lot of talking in this chapter, things were still fast paced and entertaining with the promise of all the fighting scenes we’ve been waiting patiently for. Vander Decken’s get up is funny enough. Luffy’s attitude towards the princess is hilarious – “I don’t like you! hahaha!” It reminds me of the cold but comical way Boa Hancock, the most beautiful woman in One Piece, was harshly and continuously rejected by him. “NO! I WON’T MARRY YOU!!” (Ouch) Also, we got to see Luffy act like a total glutton again! He’s definitely one of my favourite characters in this manga. In all, the chapter was pretty good.
Dislikes: Everything seemed fine really. I hope the princess doesn’t continue to be whiny and annoying though. However Luffy-kun won’t have any scruples about shutting her up. By the way, where is Sanji again? :S Ah well, at least we have the mighty Zorro for now!
Anime (Episode 485): I completely forgot about this week’s episode and so I just watched it a few minutes ago. I was reminded of how much I completely loathe that foul and degenerate piece of vermin shi** called Blackbeard. I HATE him sooo much! Gahh! I teared up a bit at the part when Whitebeard was being riddled with bullets. It was sooo sad and heartless
Stabbed and slashed 267 times, shot by no less than 562 bullets and hit by 46 cannon balls, not one scratch on his back and he died standing up *sigh . He truly is a BOSS…..RIP WHITEBEARD!
