One Piece Wano Thoughts Part 1

One piece Wano thoughts part 1

I was kinda dreading those "filler" chapters before Wano starts, and Oda does what he does and makes it all so interesting. Shanks is able to walk in and talk with the elders?! The empty throne was such a cool idea for unison (even if it's actually a government lie). Who the fuck is Imu and why is there a giant straw hat?!

Struggling more than normal with following who is who with all the exposition happening and the very very Japanese names.

Love Luffy and Zoro together on their own. Sad that only lasted a minute. Zoro really wanting to see the sword Luffy straight up stole is hilarious.

Kaido's introduction is fantastic.

Mihawk caring about Perona as she's leaving makes the he's the adoptive dad headcannon official. Such a softy.

Do not believe Komurasaki is dead for one minute. Was thinking she was Momo's sister for minute but maybe not. (Update: HA! I was right)

Luffy using being in prison as a training opportunity is the most shonen thing ever

Mad we didn't get to see how Law got out of Hawkins trap. It's implied Drake helped, I guess. But not clear. (I just want to see my man doing more things)

That panel though of Law in cuffs, bloodied, kimono open....thank you Oda.

Kid being mad about Killer is super cute

Indifferent about the warlords being abolished so far. Will see where that goes.

Storytime with Sengoku is kinda funny. Like can't let him leave but can't give him any real jobs.

Oden's whole backstory got me crying by the end. Get it's part of the point, but shame him and Luffy don't get to interact, they'd have fun together.
