These were fun :3 I always like when battle anime have specials & OVAs that aren't just random, meaningless, & pointless battles about nothing. Random fun/character development is always much better than that monster of the week/fight of the day crap. Nami fan service is what made this tho! haha just wish Robin got the same kind of treatment.

I feel like Chopper would be least confused by "flower petal rain" considering the quack doctor and all that happened on Drum Island...

Fan service much? 🙄 Boobs are great but when you're shoving them in my face for no good reason, it starts getting redundant.

Other then that, beautiful. I could watch OVA after OVA with no plot and just goofiness and Straw Hat antics. It's refreshing seeing the crew go about their business on the ship when they're not caught up in some plot line.

I also like to keep track of vocabulary words I learn from anime, and today's are "fervid" and "prattle"! Thank you Franky and Zoro, respectively.

Speaking of Zoro, I found it odd he got excited about soup. In the past we saw Zoro had a hankering for certain dishes at times, but recently it's just booze this and booze that, and it's the only recreational attribute we hear about. It was refreshing seeing Zoro actually have a craving for a food.

Everyone's talking about Franky's behavior in this episode, and I must admit, it was intriguing. He certainly did sound high at one point.

Finally, I'd just finished watching a documentary about South Park where the staff orders McDonald's. The burger looked so good. My stomach starting growling, for real. And then I watch this OVA, and wouldn't you know... an Eastern show takes the rare opportunity to talk about Western cuisine... and shoves burger after burger in my face. I gotta admit, Franky had a really convincing mime act. Therefore I've decided as soon as I wake up tomorrow I'm getting a Big Mac and some Cola.

holy crap we get it nami is a hot girl does half the episode have to be shots of her chest and butt???

I mean, wow, I know this isn't the first time the show has given us Nami fanservice, but this literally made it her entire personality.

Heck, this entire thing feels like a bad One Piece fanfic.

Plenty of fanservice with Nami, pretty typical but at the moment, I couldn't care less... Other than that, it's a nice little chill ep with the strawhats on the Sunny
