| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hrmm, wonder when Gin will appear again... Luffy's such a badass. |
| That was awesome. |
 |
| That was freakin great, Luffy was awesome in that episode. Don Krieg aint so tough without all his armor haha. |
| Yay finally, Luffy kicked Don Kriegs ass.. haha, love it how Sanji knocked him on the head after saving him and he was sleeping. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I don't know why, but I kinda feel like this episode could have been better. It was great though, and now it's time for some of Nami's backstory. |
| omg wooooooow!! what an episode!!! at last Luffy's battle! i was waiting for this!! loved how Sanji hit him on the head after saving him! xD |

| Finally. An end to a boring arc. |
 |
| Yeah, aside from Sanji's back story, this was a pretty sub par arc. Really, aside from some back story I could say that about the entire first 29 episodes. Oh and I can't stand the stereotypical shounen, let's stand around while someone else fights. |

| Wow did you see Panda man? he is in the crowd of pirates piled up on the one ship. Panda man is doing the peace sign! Glad they put him into the show... For those who don't know what I am talking about, Panda man was added into the manga as an easter egg which i know about from reading the manga volumes. Go back to the part where the pirates are all on the ship and see panda man doing the peace sign hehe (^_^) |

| Well, rumor has it that from here on it gets even better. I enjoyed this arc, though I will admit it got a bit draggy at parts. Next arc though, is where this show gets famous. I can't wait! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| At last the arc ends. Bellmere? |
| I liked this episode a lot! |
| Y am I feeling pity for Nami >_> |
 |
| good conclusion to the don kreig / finding sanji arc |
 |
| I'm glad this arc is over so I can get onto the supposed greatness of this show. |
| luffy was so badass as usual c: and i wonder whats gonna go on with nami? maybe they'll finally show her backstory... |

| So far Nami is nr1 worst anime bitch for me. But i hope she has damn good reason for being such a faithless selfish bastard. |
| Guys, even though you're long gone, please quit leaving indirect spoilers for the show. I'd rather decide for myself if it's getting/will get better or worse. I don't wanna develop expectations. On topic... I'm still getting real tired of your shit, Nami. Throwing in those crocodile tears won't help. I hope Luffy punches her in the face or something. |

| Gin is a good guy ; )) |
| Nice ep. |
 |
| Don't cry Nami ;_; |
 |
| The first great battle for Luffy, and of course he won! Wonder what's up with Nami... hmm... She's acting so strange lately... Another flashback in the next episode? Well I'm looking forward to watch it anyways ! ^___^ |
 |
| Since when you could speaking inside water? Since one piece that's why xD Time to recruit Nami? |
"Signature removed"   |
| On to the next 1. |
  |
| Glad the arc is over and they're chaning location. It was getting too long. The last fight was good nonetheless. So I guess Sanji finally joins? |
| I liked the conclusion to the fight, pretty good to see Luffy being such a badass. However, I really hope that in the future, these arcs don't stick to one location for too many episodes. I liked the buildup to the fight, and the introduction of all the characters, but to have it all take place in this one location? It's a bit tiresome. HiNT74 said: I hope in the future they'll concentrate more on exploring the world and meeting new interesting characters. I agree, that's absolutely what this show needs to do. |

| I really hope we see a return of Gin, his fighting style is pretty cool but they were a bit vague how much the poison really affected him. |
| Glad to see there are many people who thought that this arc was terribly boring. Hope it gets better. |
| That was great, sit the fuck down Krieg! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I'm curious about Nami's past. |
| Episode 29: Luffy continues his fight with Don Krieg, continuing using his dishonest attacks where his last move bombs the ground and leaves Luffy groundless and secures Luffy's fall in the Ocean :3 But Krieg gets surprised when Luffy appears out of the smoke and breaks his prideful armor, but even after all this Don Krieg isn't defeated yet and pulls one last d*** move to kill Luffy involving a iron net dragging him to ocean. :3 But Luffy doesn't lose focus and continues his finishing blow to defeat Don Krieg which finally knocks him out but Luffy falls in the ocean as a result :3 Sanji saves Luffy and everything ends atleast until Don Krieg wakes up in a unconscious state but gets knocked out by Gin :3 Gin leaves with the Don Krieg pirates and everything ends in a good manner :3 Before the end we see Nami again, crying over having to leave her friends :3 A great fight which resulted in Luffy's win, a great episode :3 I wonder if Gin dies or manages to defeat the poison resulting maybe in a possible return in the future :3 |

| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I've liked every arc so far but this one was definitely the best for me. Especially the part with Sanji's backstory |
| Lol Luffy is always doing that, he's such a compulsive sleeper xDD Oooh seems like Nami is in trouble, I've called her a bitch many times, but I might've been too quick to judge her. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Ghin ended up as a great villain and Zoro vs Mihawk as well as Luffy vs Krieg ended up as great fights. It's as if the show knew exactly what I thought the downsides of it were and fixed them. Now I can only hope that, assuming Sanji will join next episode, the formula will be changed from what it's been since episode 2. I guess Luffy's confidence comes from where Ghin suggested, his resolve. Luffy knows what he believes in, he knows when to pick his fights, and he knows he will be the king of pirates. Since it's all set in stone for him he doesn't need to flinch, no matter what scenario presents itself. To touch more on the fight, it was juicy. I loved the endurance style battle, it's as if Luffy had to beat through weapon upon weapon and even armor with sheer force and will power dodging gimmicks along the way, and once all of that was done the battle was his. The double gum gum bazooka was great, and I love how Luffy had no hessitation while in the steel net. I wonder if and when we'll see him break composure. We sort of did when Buggy broke his hat, but it's not in the same sense, I want to see what could possibly make his revel in hopelessness, if there even is such a thing. And Nami, I don't care if you need to kill Arlong or something to be "free", you're still scum in my book. You left your friends to die without saying anything, no crying makes up for that. I forget if she knew what was going on at the time, but I'm pretty sure she at least knew about Ghin. You could reason that she thought Luffy wouldn't be able to leave for a year so she took the ship but even then that's still leaving behind Usopp and Zoro. For a bit of a nitpick, I still feel like characters, specifically villains wear their ideologies on their sleeves too often. Buggy was all about only material things being treasure, and Don Krieg said countless times "the stronger guy wins because he has stronger equipment and forces!", as if in both cases to beat into our heads that they're wrong. It's not necessarily a big issue, but I prefer it to be at least a bit more subtle than that. |
| Even if he was a walking armory with a 1-ton weapon he lugs around all the time, seeing Krieg suddenly appear at the top of the mast in an instant was impressive. That didn't stop him from getting owned by Luffy's Rubber Sledgehammer though! The man still sleepfights on his own two feet despite getting a really big concussion from that impact and it was hilarious. Gin intends to go back into Grand Line because it's the only thing he wants to do. With that poison in him acting up and all those men crammed into that tiny boat, I doubt that he'll make it far but the idea of the Straw Hats possibly encountering the remains of their ship later on is pretty sad. It's funny that everyone was celebrating Luffy's victory while he sinks to the bottom only for Sanji to get notified about him not being able to resurface by Zeff. He always falls asleep while drowning that it's become a habit. Nami's arc is finally gonna begin! The Arlong HD version OVA was actually the first time I watched something OP-related to completion so I'm excited. |

| He was on a plan for the whole time. Luffy was just amazing there. He knew when to strike. Go to hell Don Kreig. This man is pathetic. He didn't had any strength accept his filthy weapons. He fought disgusting. Good Luffy, he just broke his armor and showed him who is the boss. Captain Choirboy Monkey D. Luffy wins. Good to see Going Marry again. Screw you Nami!! Foolish girl abandoned them and now regretting. However she is the only navigator Luffy wants. Lucky her!!! |
| Good episode. Good arc. Arlong Park coming up. Poor Nami, don't cry :( Boo to the Nami hate in here. |
 |
| Hope Ghin didn't die. Luffy sure knows how to inspire people. Now I need to know what's up with Nami and her backstory, hrm... |
| Luffy's punches must have been pretty crazy to be able to punch through Don's armour. It's still boggling how many weapons Don had inbuilt in his armour. Bullets, darts, gas bombs, explosive spears, steel nets, flamethrowers, etc. So is Ghin gonna die or not? He did say he only had a few hours to live. What's up with Nami? She's going on a death mission or something? |
