pansies

 

[Schadenfreude]

Please don't tell me this whole episode will be flashbacks

NOT JUST THIS EPISODE, MY DEAR FELINE FRIEND.

 

[Man God]

Luffy is Eren.

 

[Raxus]

I haven't watched the first few episodes of One Piece soooooo

hm

These episodes are nice for new comers. For people who kept up with the series however it is kind of tedious.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

wow 8 million....such wow

What a badass. A whole 8 million.

 

[daveo42]

Mountain bandits are so HARD.

 

[lazybones18]

laugh it off. Based Shanks

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Luffy is Eren.

if Eren grew into a manchild instead of seething pit of angst

 

[BatDan]

This is all important to Luffy's development as a pirate and character.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Don't eat that....too late.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Oh hey conveniently placed devil fruit.

 

[grandjedi6]

WAIT...boys?

Ussop has a brother?

He meant the possessive "boy's"

 

[Mik317]

lol

 

[Crayolan]

Well it's been so long since I've seen this it's basically new for me. Shanks is cool.

 

[Grexeno]

What a badass. A whole 8 million.

Spoiler

Shanks' bounty is probably absurdly large. 600 million at minimum.

 

[Shard]

Not sure what else to say here, this is recapping really old shit.

 

[Htown]

actually, if you haven't seen this stuff it's kind of important

 

[redmetal86]

YO HO HO HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

There goes that chill tude.

 

[daveo42]

LOL. Too late Shanks. Luffy's a Gum Gum now.

 

[UltraGunner]

Thus Plastic Man was born

 

[Seda]

How did Shanks know the fruit's name?

 

[Zonic]

Well WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THAT FRUIT SITTING OUT OPEN.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the timing on that is still great

 

[BatDan]

Spoiler

Shanks' bounty is probably absurdly large. 600 million at minimum.

Spoiler

I imagine that the Four Emperors get their bounties revoked as nobody could possibly claim it

 

[Imperial Bishop]

YOU DUMBASS!

 

[B-Dubs]

Luffy hasn't changed at all since he was a kid, has he?

Well WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THAT FRUIT SITTING OUT OPEN.

It was in a treasure chest, Luffy's just a dumbass.

 

[Moaradin]

It's been so long since I've seen this stuff that I don't actually mind it lol.

 

[Man God]

Put a lock on the box with the valuable life altering evil fruit in it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

One of the most versatile Devil Fruits in the world eaten by a kid. Meta, who was gonna eat it originally had Luffy not gotten in the way?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Mr. Mayor help!

 

[Raxus]

And thus Luffy ate a fruit made for jokes and parties

Spoiler

and proceeds to turn it into one of the strongest abilities on the planet.

 

[pirata]

Actually, this is useful, as I haven't seen most of One Piece. Never knew how Luffy ate that fruit.

 

[Crash Station]

How did Shanks know the fruit's name?

This actually might be a legit plot hole before Oda really figured out how DFs worked.

 

[MetatronM]

How did Shanks know the fruit's name?

Many Devil Fruits are known. There's a whole book on them, actually.

Some, however, such as the ones the CP9 guys got a few weeks back, are unknowns, though.

 

[Zonic]

It's been so long since I've seen this stuff that I don't actually mind it lol.

Same here. I haven't seen this since the original 4Kids version, plus it's a new dub.

 

[BatDan]

How did Shanks know the fruit's name?

This actually might be a legit plot hole before Oda really figured out how DFs worked.

There's Devil Fruit guides.

 

[Crayolan]

Little Luffy is as dumb as big Luffy I see.

Shank's VA is my boy

Well shit now I can't not hear it.

 

[UltraGunner]

How convenient that Devil Fruit was out in the open

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

These episodes are nice for new comers. For people who kept up with the series however it is kind of tedious.

For serious fans, a little bit. But the show had been running for 7 years by the time these episodes aired. For a lot of the audience, even those who had been there since the beginning, these are decent recaps for stuff that aired back in the 90s.

 

[ckohler]

Who is he cutie with the green hair?

 

[Shard]

At least there are no frothy mugs of water here.

 

[Man God]

How did Shanks know the fruit's name?

Spoiler

Dr. Vegapunk wrote a book with all the markings of known Devil Fruits.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Well it was nice knowing you, Luffy.

 

[lazybones18]

spare the kid!!

 

[B-Dubs]

Actually, this is useful, as I haven't seen most of One Piece. Never knew how Luffy ate that fruit.

Then you'll love the next few episodes as they are all flashbacks of the crew's backstories.

 

[Crash Station]

Oh right, forgot about the guides.

 

[Grexeno]

Spoiler

I imagine that the Four Emperors get their bounties revoked as nobody could possibly claim it

Calling Spike Speigel!

Yeah probably not.

 

[commanderpepper]

The mayor's name is Woop Slap heh heh. I like his looks.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This actually might be a legit plot hole before Oda really figured out how DFs worked.

There's a book about Devil Fruits.
