| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- My man Lucci is back. Yeah, he is scum and not really as charismatic as someone like Croco or Doffy, but he still has his charm. Obvious Enies Lobby flashback was obvious, tho. Also, back then I never would've guessed that Mjosgard would come to the rescue, Otohime still protecting her daughter in a way. and fuck you Stelly, but at least we got some nice info dump thanks to you |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well guys thats the end of the flashbacks for a bit. Next two episodes are most likely going to be mostly canon. |
  |
| if the celestial dragons are not destroyed by the end of the series i WILL RIOT!! |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| Showcasing flashbacks of one of my top favorite battles in One Piece, even if those were just small clips of the highlights of the battle. Thanks, Toei. Luffy vs. Rob Lucci was one of my most favorite battles in the series before the time skip. Even if the entire chapter wasn't adapted in this episode, I think this was still pretty decent. It's like all hope was lost when Shirahoshi was being subjugated because no one can oppose the Celestial Dragon or else they'd be declaring war. I really like how Oda-sensei planned a purpose for a character from an old flashback from the history of Fishman Island (whom Queen Otohime had saved) and made him relevant in this exact moment, knocking off the stubborn stupid Charlos. Felt satisfying to see that bastard get what he deserves. xD Mjosgard meets King Neptune again, Shirahoshi has been saved, and Cipher Pol has no choice but to withdraw. |
they humans not gods |
| The episode was slick. So good. X3 glad Mjosgard whacked Charloss hard. XD |
| Starting in the wano arc, some major adjustments are being made to the anime series in one piece including appointing a new director so expect to see a major quality change moving forward. Oda must of told the studio that the upcoming arcs, specifically wano is a very important arc for the story and the staff also wants to do it justice. The same director that worked on Dragon ball Super Broli film and One piece film Z will be the new director for the anime. |
| |
| Finally, a decent Tenryuubito. |
 |
| Always satisfying to see a celestial dragon get a good beating! |

| So a big bad returns after the main protagonist did not kill him after defeating him, I hate it when that happens. I actually wanna see Sabo kick the shit ouf of Lucci and Kaku now. |
| f...king celestials..... they are and have always been the verse..... so Lucci returns hmm |
 |
| The flashbacks were kinda boring because I haven't forgotten a thing about enies lobby arc and I love this arc in manga but anime one is alright. |

After brief appearance in Dressrosa, and Heart of Gold, it was great to see Lucci back in the main story, Kaku too  instead of Enies Lobby flashback, Toei should have made at least two episodes of CP9's Independent Report, or even better 2 hour special I mean, look at this shit, it is hands down THE best side story in main timeline      |
| And bogged down by more flashbacks...ugh. |
 |
| "Donquixote Mjosgard" Seems like most of the Donquixote family were, and became in this case, decent human beings, with the exception of my man Doflamingo of course. |

| Incoming Whole Cake Island recap and Can we PLEASE get a new opening? @bahamutns where did you get those covers? |
 |
| Fuck that Tenryuubito. It made me so mad to see this idiot again doing what ever he wants to do. Nice to see Lucci again. At some points in the past episodes and also in the last movie he made some appearances. You could see he got way stronger even if I don't think he's on Luffys lvl but I could be wrong. When Neptun was about to attack the absolute last thing I would have thought of that another Tenryuubito would help them. It seems Mjosgard changed so dramaticly in a good way of course. Really surprising but I liked it. I'm sure next episode will be good. Can't wait to see how this will develope. |
 |
| Stared at the ceiling and thought about what's for lunch when the flashbacks came on, because I knew they would be long and useless. That throne though, I liked its significance. |

Can someone explain to me please why did the ugly, filthy, bastard, scum become a god in this anime? |

They are only padding it with flashbacks because the wano arc has only really started. I am aware how ever the small little narration monologues in the manga were only like half of a page each so its still considered filler material or recap that is not used in the manga because of how they extended it. Though compared to the shanks at the start of the arc, they are improving a bit. All i am saying is again in the manga there is no more small tiny narration monologues that oda uses, so that is why i say that the next few episodes will probably have less of it and instead focus on the larger beats of the story. Hopefully we get more cover story material as well. |

Bullshit, you watch next week have a flashback to Whole cake island... lol That would just be ridiculous lol. I don't think the studio is that stupid. So far the anime has followed the manga and cued up the flashbacks with oda little narrations. But just goes to show you that even in the manga, oda did recap, cause it really has been that long since some of these moments happened in one piece and he's letting us know that some of these events that we remember from so damn long ago may be relevant in the story moving forward. |

| I got goosebumps when I saw King Neptune in action. Until know we haven't seen his power and it's still a mystery. I suppose there is a reason why the other Celestial Dragon interrupted. Hopefully we will see his power. Personally, I thought Sabo and revolutionary army would jump in and at least save Shirahoshi, but I am glad that didn't happen. Because it wouldn't make any sense. The moment I head a celestial dragon is indebted to princess Otohime and remembered king Neptune, I remembered there were a dude like that in the past. Oda is really a genius when it comes to not forgetting characters that are introduced. I really love the way he write his manga and how he link different incidents. He is a master at doing it. That's one of the main reason the One Piece manga is one of the best shounen pieces out there. That preview looks very exciting. Is that just Dragon who is walking to the top 5 leaders room? Wow, that's really amazing. I wonder how they are going to take the Celestial Dragons down. PS! People may say that are annoying by the flashbacks, but rather than that than slow progressing ep. in the Wano arc. Personally,I enjoy that more than slow progression ep. I truly hope there will be a filler arc after this, but lets see what they decide to do. |

WolfDFireBreidi said: This episode was full of emotions, at least for me. Remembering the queen Otohime, and the will of the Straw Hats to save Robin made her release some tears, especially when Robin says "I want to live!". The Arco de Enies Lobby is one of my favorites from One Piece, it had many epic and exciting moments. The Straw Hats went to a whole new level. It was the beginning of his war against the World Government. From that moment, his fame did not stop going up. On the other hand, I felt a lot of anger when the damned Tenryubito (the same from the Sabaody Archipelago) wanted to enslave Shirahoshi and see that CP Aigis 0 supported him totally. They do not know how much satisfaction I had when that stupid was hit with a club (What memories!). To my great surprise, the one who hit him was another Tenryubito, the one that Queen Otohime saved from death. This reminds me that everything in the world is spinning and the good action the queen did on that occasion served to save her daughter from the clutches of an unscrupulous patient. How happy I am that Queen Otohime's good deeds have not been in vain! I take off my straw hat in admiration 👏. Regarding the progress of the next episode ... that hooded man ... it was ... MONKEY D. DRAGON !? 😱 He wants a Mermaid as a pet. Can you blame him? 😂😂😂 If he would pay 500 millions for Camie, how much would he pay for Shirahoishi. 1 billion? hahaah |

| @mangalicker94 Neptune may have been strong in his prime, but he got his ass kicked by Zoro and later by Hody. Admittedly, he was already weakened against the latter, but still, you can't get overwhelmed by such a punk. So I dare to say, Mjosgard saved his ass, because Lucci would've wrecked him. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I thought Shirahoshi was gonna 100% end up as a celestial dragon's pet. |
| I love nepgear!! *^* |
| And the #1 punchable face award goes to.. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The empty throne is presented as a symbol of no dictatorships and the people that fought for that in the past. A noble tried to enslave Shirahoshi and due to the CP-0s intervention, no one could save her, Neptune was about to start a fight when a noble named Mjosgard appeared and saved her. He presented himself as the noble that Otohime saved in the Fish-Man Island in the past. And yes, Lucci appeared, a badass character, but in a shitty position. The episode was tense, I was mad too, thank to that guy that appeared at the end. |
 |
| Oda said shanks will be alot more prevalent in these arcs, so expect alot of him in the upcoming story not just little tiny screen times sprinkled throughout like it has been. That is all going to change. I am really excited to see just who he really is and his affiliations with the world government and why his many actions are pardoned on so many grounds. Get ready for a massive revelation next episode people if its the final episode of this "part 1 of reverie" and yes i say part 1 because trust me, reverie will be back. |

| Gotta love seeing Charlos get sent flying. It’s nice to see that Otohime protecting that Celestial Dragon is finally paying off. |
 |
| Otohime's effort is not in vain. Despite how the humans SEEMS to treat Fishmen as inferiors and despite Mjosgard's initial attitude towards them. It all paid back now. Thanks to him an equal to Carlos as tenryuubito, Shirahoshi is saved from slavery and Carlos got another great smack on the face! Fuck yeah that was satisfying even more so than Luffy punching him since Carlos can't do shit to Mjosgard who's on an equal standing to him! |

| That green hair dude probably is the only celestial dragon who is decent, and Doffy is a celestial dragon right? And now he's rotting away in a dungeon cell. That snot-nosed fucker has been causing trouble for a long time, wasn't he the one Luffy punched back then that brought Kizaru? |
 |
| Man ... Robin saying she wants to go out to sea with the crew gets me every time ... one of the most touching moments for sure! "Empty Throne" is cute considering it's occupied by all those Celestial Dragons. Thankfully we have 1 of them that's actually decent ... even if it's only after his life was saved. |
 |
| The reverie has started by bringing everyone we have known through the series together. Garp talking sh*t to Stelly, meetings between princesses, revolutionary moves, Lucci on the side of Charloss, even my man Wapol among others. Outside of the flashbacks we're finally seeing more of the Mariejois life, how slave labor runs so deep it's under their escalators. We also saw the empty throne, symbolic equality of power, which will certainly be sat on to make a statement later. My favourite scene of the reverie so far was the final scene of this episode, it's why I decided to write my post here. It was the byproduct of hundreds of episodes, using the fishman struggle with Otohime, the coldest arm of the government around: Rob Lucci, and to protect the most hated One Piece character Charloss who has a history of mermaid abduction. It was impressive. I teared up with empathy over Neptune's sorrowful rage: taking his beloved daughter along with him to make steps towards equality only to be asked to let her be kidnapped quietly. Lucci actually won me over more than he did in Water 7 for whatever reason. "God's don't need to make sense", his cold gaze through pleading and crying Vivi, and his smile when agreeing to kill Neptune sold just how unflinching he is. The curveball at the end was the fact that Otohime did make a meaningful change within one of the Don Quixote family celestial dragons. If I recall he said that he was ashamed, and he's been waiting all this time to repay them. A final touch of making this scene the culmination of many episodes before it in an unexpected way. I'm all for more nuanced dragons! |
| This arc has been such a great crossover between different characters of different arcs coming together. I love it! Also yeah, that Celestial Dragon had it coming. I can totally understand why Neptune might've wanted to punch that asshole right in the face, good thing Mjosgard showed up and showed the day. Seems like Mjosgard is the first sensible, down to Earth Celestial Dragon in the entire anime lol. It was great revisiting Enies Lobby too. When I saw that scene in Dressrosa with the Spandam guy, I was suspicious about CP0, turns out members of CP0 are the same as CP9! |
