I love that the canonically explanation for Luffy's red hawk is "it's anime. Let it happen."

I MEAN. FAIR

#REALLY CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT ONE CAN YOU #nah but in all seriousness i rock with it it's always fun as hell when someone pulls out some new batshit move #However #a couple big gripes i've had so far w op popped up in this arc especially where #1) the devil fruit eaters' One Weakness just... doesn't weaken them at all anymore #and like i get it. hard to have actually scary big bads if potentially everyone could be defeated by dunking em in a kiddie pool #but you gotta let the people have SOME caveats here !! AND HE WAS UNDERWATER THE WHOLE TIME! #and 2) #this might just be the raised on sports anime audience member in me talking #but god DAMN i wish we had better training arcs in one piece #the surprise factor of ppl whipping out a new awesome attack is cool sure #but it'd be so much more satisfying if we got to see them BUILD UP to it and struggle before finally pulling it off!! #i didn't mind it quite so much here bc it was technically after the timeskip and yeah everybody wanted to show off what they learned #but like during the cp9 fights?? COME ON LEMME SEE HOW THEY GOT THERE #ok ok i'll pipe down--anon THANK YOU for the ask this made my day #you should come off anon and talk about one piece some more with me... none of my other friends are into it 😔 #asks
