| That was perfect!!! Loved how they ended it with "We Are", marking the end of this era. GAHH!! So excited to watch the next episodes but sadly i am gonna have to try to hold it in and put One Piece On-Hold till at least its at 520+ or something like that, so i can marathon for a while. AAAAA MUST NOT WATCH THE REST!!!!>>>>>......... |
| Luffy and Rayleigh conversation shed light on a lot of factors concerning Haki, and it even goes back hundreds of episodes. You could say Haki is like the Force in One Piece. The ending when the music started was so nostalgic! Everyone is trying hard and doing their best and the bits with Zoro and Sanji were orgasmic! The monster duo need to keep it like that! Except Robin, she is just chillin' LOL :P Anyway, the preview was BEASTLY! Can't stop watching now. |

| ONE PIECE IS THE BEST SHOUNEN ANIME EVER 500+ episodes later and you think anybody would get tired. but somehow, it's been one hell of an adventure, yet it feels like things are getting started. this show just keeps on revamping itself and improving and improving. i don't feel like i just watched some long ass story about some cartoon pirates. i felt like i saw people grow and epic shit happen. it was great. this was the haki episode i was waiting for so i was like yes yes yes the whole way through. i am so excited for timeskip, thank god i'm marathoning this or i would have succumbed to reading the manga. next ep~ |
| I'm so glad they brought back the song for the ending of this episode! It was perfect! I was just thinking about how I wanted to hear it again. Such an amazing show. Can't wait to see them after the time skip! :D neenalie said: ONE PIECE IS THE BEST SHOUNEN ANIME EVER It really is. Can't wait for the new opening. And the new halfway thing that will probably happen. |

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I love this episode. |
 |
| To the New World!! |
| THE NEW WORLD! AHHHH! I can't believe that's what they said at the end! I am so so so so so pumped for the next episode. This is absolutely crazy, I cannot believe that I am actually up to the time skip. The long awaited explanation on Haki was absolutely amazing and my blood is all hyped up from Rayleighs' s performance. I also loved that the first OP theme was played at the end to signal the end of this adventure, genius! |
| Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice! - Doflamingo |
| HELL YEAH HELL FUCKING YEAH SO DAMN PUMPED MAN YOU DONT EVEN KNOW |

| You hou!!!! New World!!! I am so excited that I am going straight to the next episode!!! p.s. I wished Haki was real :( |

| Ahh so excited!!!! |
| freaking excited for next ep *-* |
 |
| Ever since Kuma separated the crew, I knew a timeskip was going to happen and finally 100 or so eps later here we are |
| Time skip here I come!!!!!! |
| Awesome episode, the official conclusion of this era and an ushering in of the new that's to come! Can't wait to watch it! That rendition of We Are at the end was pure awesomeness too |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Awesome episode! We learnt more about Haki and turns out loads of people have been using it...and Luffy even beat some guys who have it without even using it himself! He'll definitely need it going into the New World, that's for sure. Tbh with all the classifications and Rayleigh saying that people tend to specialize in one area, it kinda reminded me of Nen in HxH. I teared up when Luffy took his hat off- that scene was in the opening too...and then they played "We Are!" 😭 So right onto the timeskip next episode...can't believe I'm already this far in. I'm gonna miss this opening song and the crew as they've been but roll on TS I guess! |

 |
| Time skiiiiiip. Cant wait to see how they all changed! |
 |
| His training started. That ending with the first opening made me cry, damn those feelings are to much. |
 |
| I didn't even realize Aisa was able to use haki So Coby was experiencing the same thing as her |
| Well, need to take a time off and let the timeskip sink in. It took almost a year to get here, and many emotions through the run. I may take some weeks to watch, like, ANYTHING ELSE and then come back to see how they've grow up on all that time! |
| I think this is where I'm going to stop with the anime and switch over to the manga. The pacing's been kind of funky since mid-Enies Lobby and honestly reading the manga just sounds more appealing to me. That aside I really liked this episode and especially the We Are at the end. I loved almost everything up till now, and I really hope the New World keeps up that trend. |
| Talk about a huge episode lol! I'll break this down into a few major discussion points I wanted to touch on. First will simply be the goodbye between Luffy and Jimbei. I felt so much respect and emotion in that scene, it got to me a little. Luffy and Jimbei were both willing to die for Ace's sake, Luffy freed Jimbei from prison and put his faith in him as Ace's friend, Jimbei helped them get to Marineford, and they both fought and nearly died. Jimbei was ready to die for Luffy but Crocodile and Law saved both of them. And after that, both had to deal with the loss of Ace and Jimbei beat Luffy's head on straight and made him look forward again.. made him the Luffy we know and love. That is a lot to go through and the respect between them is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Their send off where Jimbei expressed that he was ashamed to be alive and that he was thankful for everything, probably coming from the fact that he didn't save Ace or Whitebeard, but Luffy very maturely told him to keep his head up high was a sign of some true comradery. They both know they did their best and they are both thankful for each other, pledging to see each other in 2 years. It seems Jimbei knows another good pirate now. Next, I just wanted to briefly touch on how Rayleigh is training Luffy. I recall he told Kizaru not to kill these kids before their time, he knows Shanks made a gamble for the future on Luffy, Rayleigh knows he helped Hachi and saw Roger in him if I recall on the line about the king being the most free. So, it makes a lot of sense that Roger's second in command has taken to helping train Luffy to take this new era, and for Luffy and Rayleigh to be the only ones on a deserted island for two years, they are going to get close. Luffy is being trained by the closest person to Roger and it's quite poetic in a sense. While he was away from his nakama he befriended Jimbei, and Hancock, two Warlords, and worked with a former- Crocodile. He also befriended a revolutionary commander and Roger's second in command and now he's being trained by him. And knowing Luffy he won't bring these up until they run into these characters and he'll be like, oh yeah I'm friends with them and Rayleigh trained me. So, duh I need to get to the meat and the game changer of this episode. WE FINALLY UNDERSTAND HAKI. Notably haki has been one of my biggest problems with the series, but I also want to specify how when Mantra wasn't explored I was furious, "it was a writing oversight" I exclaimed! "How lazy to have this power and never expand on it." Yet, as we went forward we saw more people using haki and quickly understood what we were seeing was haki back then. Just like how Arlong's motives were spelt out hundreds of episodes later, so was Mantra's origin. And I've come to love how the story is so organic, it never forces itself to show its cards in a contrived way to make things clear, villains don't espouse their motives, powers aren't so clearly explained to the audience. It feels real and realizing this was a huge moment for me to learn to have faith in Oda, so that when something feels poorly written to assume it's going to come back in a great way later! And haki has been in the series since the very first chapter of the manga! Then we saw it in shades with Skypiea and then we saw Sentomaru use another type. Let's write what we know. There are two latent and learnable types and one linked to the spirit, normally one can't control it but rather have it come out in their most crucial moments which now explains some of the plot armor moments. We definitely saw that with Luffy saving his friends(Kuja ladies and Bon Clay) and Ace, with Ace saving Luffy, and with Coby tapping into some haki during the war.
The final We Are sequence with Luffy going on hiatus as the Straw Hat pirates captain was pretty endearing. He's making another pledge, to his lost brothers, and to his friends who he still has, to this time stay back and become truly strong enough to be free. To be free enough to protect the ones he loves this time. And when he can he's going to pick up that hat once more, seen in the opening! Woo! The way we led up to this time skip with the gradual fall of the Straw Hats was a sight to behold. |
| Finally caught up and finished part one of One Piece. Now it's time for the new world saga and another 400+ episodes to catch up with. |

| Hell yeah, they played "We Are"! Even if they didn't, I was going to play it. Let's go to the New World! |
| Rayleigh explaining what Haki is in-depth with Luffy recalling the numerous instances he's seen it in action throughout his journey only made me all the more impressed and mindblown at Oda's ability to plan things ahead. Playing We Are! to cap off the first half of their grand adventure was amazing and that preview showing their post time-skip designs has imbued me with unimaginable levels of hype. I can't believe that I'm finally at this point ♡ |
