My thoughts on One Piece so far. (Spoilers)

I doubt anyone will read this but I wanted to document my thoughts so far on One Piece to distract myself from some hardships. Sorry if my English is bad, I do have a learning disability

I didn't get into the anime until earlier in 2024 so this is my unfiltered thoughts as a new fan of the show.

I found getting into the first season hard, I felt it dragged on. I dropped it for a month after Luffy picked up Zoro. I gently don't have much thoughts on that besides my boyfriend begging me to pick up the show again. I regained interest when being introduced to Usopp. Ill be honest, I did find his character to be annoying, wasn't a fan of the twink claiming to be captain. Although he did grow on me over time while in Loguetown. It's also hard to not like Luffy, he's just funny. Luffy is also strangely perspective at times when you don't ever expect him to be.

I also don't have much to say on when they pick up Sanji, his story was okay for me. I do like all the Straw hats so far, but I find I like Sanji's character more when he isn't simping. Power to Nami for using his simping to her advantage.

Nami's story is really when I started loving the show. Nami's past had me sobbing, I had yet to cry. Normally I'm easy to get emotional, but so far the show hadn't tugged on those heartstring of mine till Arlong and the village. Now I can't look at a tangerine with out thinking about Nami. I love Nami and so far she might be my favorite. Nami is the most selfish and selfless character I've ever seen. She put her selfishness a side for peoples when the time calls for it.

Vivi is also one of my favorite. Although you can tell that it was a sudden decision to make her a princess. It felt so off but I grew to except it.

Meeting Chopper had me tearing up, not gonna lie. I love Kureha and I'm sad we won't see her again. I just love my lil deer boy. Best boy, good boy.

The Alabasta ark, so far my favorite ark so far. I don't think there was a time were I had a break to calm down because of all the tention. You can't not love Vivi through all of it. I was trying not to cry with the clock tower scene. Vivi begging everyone to stop fighting with all her might because that's all she could do had me struggling. Also Zoro some how getting lost in an active war zone had me shocked. Like dude active ran away from the noise of gunshots and thought "yeah checks" out while looking for a bomb. BUD please.

Skypiea, not going to lie, it was mid. I genuinely had a hard time getting through it. I did love Wyper and Aisa, but it felt like a drag. Keep in mind there was no filler to skip in that ark. I've been skipping filler episodes that don't protein to the story. If I were to watch one piece over again, I would skip it. We also did skip a mini filler ark, according to my boyfriend it was annoying and not worth it.

Water 7, I'm not finished with this ark yet, but so far I'm enjoying it. I wasn't a fan of Franky at the start for obvious reason, but he grew on me. Usopp feeling useless made me tear up. The fight between Luffy and Usopp was gut wrenching because the fight was truly for nothing. The ship couldn't be fixed fighting wouldn't change it. I also started liking Sanji more because of him stopping Luffy from saying something he would regret.

You can tell Sanji cares more than he lets on with the guys, and him making up an excuse with Chopper to warn Usopp about Aqua Laguna really did show he truly likes Usopp. I genuinely like Sanji when he isn't simping. I hear it gets worse like him actually barking or almost dying from a nose bleed, and I'm not excited about it. Im hoping we get into Robins backstory this ark, I do like her. I have a feeling I'll be crying again. Currently I'm not the part were There trying to get Robin back and Usopp is trying to convince Robin.
