rereading whole cake and I love how sanji's like I went against you and fought you so I can't come back to you cause that's obviously him remembering what happened with usopp back in water seven but also it means that he totally forgot all it took for usopp to be allowed back was for him to apologize and say he wanted back in and that's just. typical mugiwara behaviour. to remember how seriously they have to take luffy as a captain but forget just how easily luffy forgives them anyway. to remember they have to respect him but forget that he loves them first and foremost

"The Secret Criminal Organization", Whiskey Peak Ep. 2, 35:47

Spoilers for chapters 655 onward and I guess c. chapters 110 to 130

Kinda realized why everything in the New World feels s o l o n g (aside from actual # of chapters per arc)

Every island follows directly from one to the other. There’s some sailing time I'm sure, but pretty much everything from Punk Hazard to Wano has been packed together (with the exception of the transition to Wano) as time sensitive.

How is it different from say the Baroque Works Saga (Whiskey Peak to Alabasta)? There was a time sensitive issue and a detour stop, too. The only thing I can think of is every time an arc (with Whole Cake Island as an exception) has thus far finished in the New World it’s to extend what started in Punk Hazard.

For comparison:

Whiskey Peak introduces the situation in Alabasta and Crocodile. There is a stop at Little Garden; this will effect future plot events (prominently through misinformation as regards Alabasta specially). Due to its climate, there is a detour to get a doctor. Then Alabasta! Conclusion & resolution!

Punk Hazard introduces both the samurai & Law’s take out Kaido plan (that was his original plan, right?). This manifest as (1) defeat Ceaser & stop production of smileys, (2) defeat Dolfamingo & destroy the smiley factories, (3) reconvene at Zou & make way to Wano, (4) defeat Kaido who has been the one commissioning the artificial devil fruit. Alongside this, the samurai want to (1) recuse a member from Dressrosa, (2) reunite on Zou, (3) return to Wano & defeat Orichi and Kaido & reinstate the Kozuki clan.

At each stage of the journey it’s (mostly) an intentional long term plan.

Anyway, this is a long spiel to say there doesn’t feel as if there’s as much inter-island voyage time. I’m sure there is and I respect that Wano is stuffed inside a very palatable sense of time, first with the earlier Straw Hats & Law waiting for the others to arrive and second with the impact of how much has happened while they were all isolated, BUT it’s harder to imagine the Straw Hats simply having downtime between islands despite the time sensitivity, with the exception of the voyage from Punk Hazard to Dressrosa. This is partly because they haven’t been together in awhile but also they have been following one specific plan (plot) since entering the New World. It has been fully intentional.

I’m not sure what my point is...

Or maybe the arcs are just getting r e a l l y l o n g

[gachagon]

at least sanji's having fun

[kobys-glasses]

I didn’t know much about Vivi besides her being the Princess of Alabasta and when I saw Ms Wednesday I was like 50/50 on wether or not it was Vivi since she looked similar from what I had seen of her briefly when I joined the fandom.

I love how she decided to go undercover to directly find out what was going on so she could help her country. I love how brave she is and she must be a pretty strong fighter to get so high in the ranks!

Also it was really sweet to see how Mr Nine and Miss Monday went against their organization to try and help Vivi even though they learned she had infiltrated baroque works because they valued her as a friend <3
