Great episode as usual!

Also I was pretty impressed with the quality of the stream from the onepieceofficial.com site for the return of simulcasts. Last time they were streaming it seemed to take forever to load and the video and audio weren't that great. I guess in the time it took to get set for the simulcasts again they upgraded the player. Good stuff :) Only downside - no previews for next week!

I'm really happy that they kept the emotion as high as they did, and even half-explained how Hancock was captured in the first place. I really did like this.

But yeah, no previews. It sucks that it's always going to be like this with the official streams.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

OMG LOLI BOA SANDERSONIA IS MOE MOE <3 <3

Watched the stream. It was pretty good, actually. I thought I was going to get the usual blurriness from most streams, but at times I felt like i was watching it normally.

Great episode filled with plenty of emotion. This is when we finally see humility in Boa's character. And the introduction of Fisher,
And the animation was top-notch. Hopefully the quality will stay the same for the upcoming arc.

It's cool to see simulcast back.

Hancock actually looked a little creepy in that last shot.

I wonder if there will be some fillers after 416.

Had a hard time with the flashback, I guess its because the sisters where portrayed as even younger then the manga. I also like the fact that it's kinda left to suggestion as to what happened to them, whatever it was, it wasn't pretty...

I'm really glad that the whole, "I'm a great and powerful princess so I'm better than you." thing was all an act. She's really just a heartbroken woman with a tragic past.

Well, of course it was an act. I mean, Boa Hancock struck me as Nakama potential with probably a really crappy past when I first saw her. Characters normally always have a reason for acting horrible. And who cares about kittens and old ladies... jk.. This episode was so cute though.. ahaha... when she was blushing at the end. :D Good episode all around... When I first heard slave I was a little confused as to why the two bigger ones would be slave potential.. but, the blonde one really let herself go since then.. Oh, well, pie fills the cracks of the broken heart... Can't wait till next week. It's getting even better. ^_^

Great episode and I'd forgotten what happened to hebi-hime in her past lol...also you never see a One Piece episode rated below 3 and most are rated 4 or 5 whereas you always see Bleach and Naruto episodes with 1s and 2s...One Piece is easily the best out of the 'big 3' :D

Heh, one of these days, there should be a competition to vote which of Luffy's punches made viewers both cry out and say "it's about time!" with the most heart. It seems the one with the tubby celestial dragon quickly rose up in the ranks, and I wholeheartedly agree. Before this, I had my vote cast on the one that ended the long rant by that pirate with the spring legs (Benami?). Very satisfying, heh.

One of the better episodes of this arc. I loved how Luffy goes to see Boa asking for food...only to see a topless Boa and disappointed there wasn't any food.

Luffy needs to be smacked into puberty. :D Just kidding, just kidding.

Anyway, this arc should wrap up in 2 episodes (I think). Can't wait for the next.

Actually you have a good point. She is supposed to be a very beautiful woman and there she was naked in frond of him and he didn't even feel a little turn on. Just a little change on his face to show that he was impressed by the image or something. WTF isn't he a man?

I can't say i was a hater or something but still doesn't explain why she is treating people so badly if she was treated badly her self and she hates the thought of it. She turned her own comrades in to stone just because she could easily do it since they were weaker than her but she herself hates the idea of ever being in the mercy of someone again.

Anyway the episode was good and never felt boring even though it was some story from the past. Good work one piece. OMG! that orange hair girl from the three sister really let herself go.

I think Boa doesn't hate anybody and she is not a person I can call obnoxious, arrogant etc... not because she is godly =) She just directly points out that beauty covers up every filty act and I think she loathes the idea herself as well. And she was awaiting a person to stand up against it with a great sense of justice, and here Luffy comes x)

Anyways, a great episode as expected, though everything's just started.

So that was the big secret behind Boa's acting? Pretty weak tbh. That could never justify what she's been doing all the time. If I were in her position I would do everything to help my underlings and to give love not pain and hate like the Drogon guys.

Actually there is a little inconsistency, anyone remember Bon-chan's fan service to the crew?

So, whether Nami's boobs are beastly and even more appealing than Boa's - that is pretty impossible - or Luffy lost some other things other than his crew after landing on the island.

For the Boa nude thing.. he's already seen her like that.. the scene she finds him, remember. Besides, it was only her top. I'm a guy and I actually disliked her more for the implication.
This episode did raise her favor in my mind a little, but not much. I still think she's far too arrogant.
When she taunted him about only getting one of his wishes (the girls changed back from stone or a ship), I had to break out laughing at the surprise of everyone at how quickly he choose to get them changed back.
She was looking all evil about it, and I knew immediately which he was going to choose without even a question.

I thought I'd ask this here instead of making a new thread, and it's something that was mentioned in this ep that made me think. I read somewhere that only one of each devil fruit exists, making the abilities of each one unique. Also, I read that once someone takes a bite out of a devil fruit, the remaining portions of that fruit become benign, so two or more people can't share one fruit to all gain the same ability. Yet, when Boa Hancock was explaining their childhood situation to Luffy, she only mentions two devil fruits, the mero mero no mi and the hebi hebi no mi. Two fruits, three people. Any further info from anyone?

Both Sandersonia and Marigold ate the Hebi Hebi no Mi, however, their models are different. Sandersonia ate the Anaconda model and Marigold the King Cobra one.

Yeah, I looked it up at OP's wikia. I know I'm nitpicking, but it still feels like a duct tape fix on the "unique devil fruit" issue, just to keep the Gorgon Sisters imagery working. Then again, it makes sense that Zoan type fruits would have different types for different species of a certain group, like snakes. Thanks ;)

Well it's not like it's been quickly introduced just now, the different models have been used before.
Example would be the gun/dog from mr4 which is inu inu no mi model dachshund and CP9's jyabura which was inu inu no mi model wolf.

The fact that both sisters just happen to have a snake fruit is of course meant for the image of the gorgon sisters.
