THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode tells the story of Flevance, a prosperous white town that's rich in material called White Lead. This is the town where Trafalgar Law was born. Law was aspiring to be a surgeon and he was raised by such a good family. He also had a kind little sister.

There's a dark reality about the White Lead that lead to the tragedy of Flevance. A really sad and tragic truth about the kids who grew up in Flevance and it was a grave fatal disease. What the World Government did was sick and it's too depressing to describe what happened to all the poor people in the town who have been affected by the disease.

The only thing that I find stupid in this episode is how the Donquixote Family can walk casually in front of enemy gunfire without even getting hit as they continue to narrate the history of Flevance to Baby 5. >_>

But enough about that. This episode.......was too heartbreaking for me. ;__; Flevance perished. F*** this s***...

Law stabs Corazon at the end but is that enough to kill him? From next episode's preview, it's about the story of Doflamingo's childhood next. It's a flashbackception!

Very sad episode, Law had tragic childhood. Very curious what made him change for the better and how he overcame the illness.

I was expecting a tragedy but holy crap, that was heart-wrenching and brutal. For even the little children to be gunned-down after being promised salvation, that's a bit too cruel. Talk about a sad back-story. Poor Law~ T_T

Doflamingo has interest in Law with this episode.
Law's family <3
Baby 5 is so friggin cute i can't even. Even in her adolescence she is pretty fine.

Think about the children.
What anguish Law had to endure at age 10. Kamiya is nailing the child version of law in all points.
Stabbed. But dead?
Doflamingo's mom is one helluva beauty.

I felt this was one of the best episode lately, no fixed plans for 10 seconds, no 7 minutes intro, etc... Just the episode.
Only the cliffanger was useless as we know both Law and Corazon will survive.

It really sucks to be Law! He went through a lot of crap just because the world Government wanted to make some money. Cliffhanger was pretty intense.

Dat episode preview looks amazing. Doffy backstory incoming!

Just a heads up to those who don't read the manga, Law's backstory isn't over yet. It's gonna get even more sad in a few episodes......
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

What a masterpiece! 10/10 I feel so bad for Law, and this ain't over yet, god damn. Toei will suck us dry if they adapt the next few chapters perfectly as well. T_T

Can't wait for the next episode! <3

By the way, this is the poll result right now,
5 out of 5: Loved it! 18 94.74%
4 out of 5: Liked it 0.00%

Isn't there anywhere in the world of one piece where people actually lived a happy life?
Man, Law's life was certainly unbearable, reminded me of Robin except he had it all then lost it all: loving family, nice friends and good education and life.

The worst thing is when I imagine his sister's feeling, waiting in silence and burning in silence. That must've hurt Law more than anything since he couldn't even try helping her. I also find the aspect of suffering because of a disease at the first time while Law and his family are doctors quite interesting.

Law stabbing corazon, I really wanna see Corazon's reaction towards Law after the stab. I bet he is mean to kids because he don't want them to stay here and live a cruel life?

Looking forward for more reveals, I definitely loved this episode.

On a side note: what on earth happened to senior pink? His old version is way much better than his currently franky like version.

Damn, this was probably the saddest, most disturbing episode of One Piece yet. I mean sure, there plenty of other massacres in this show so far, but none where they outright murdered a group of children under the pretense of saving them. Bloody hell.

Incredible episode, I didn't like how at first the DQ family was just narrating everything, but once it started showing instead of telling Law's backstory it was gut-wrenching and tragic.

It was great to see the Don Quixote family so long ago, most of them have really let themselves go! I didn't recognize Senor Pink at first, I thought it was just a throwaway character. What the Hell happened to him? (just a general shocked question, not asking for spoilers as I'm sure we'll find out eventually.)

Overall a fantastic episode, can't wait to learn more about Corazon and Law's past. Seems obvious Corazon was just trying to chase Law off to save him, but now what does he think with a knife in his back, haha?

And HELL YES! to the preview for next week's episode. More detailed backstory for Doffy. I was not satisfied with the very brief snippet we got a few episodes back. So glad we're diving deeper into it.

When your parents die while you are still a child, you lose the parental guidance that kept you away from the bad things. When tragedy swarms you in childhood, ordinary careers slowly become out of out of reach, meanwhile criminals, pirates, and murders are careers that are always open no matter what. When you don't have a proper home or family to care for you, you will become a rebel. Only people who had messed up pasts would be crazy enough to become a pirate.

Also, not to spoil anything, but we will get an explanation for Senior Pink later on ;)

That was really sad.. what happened to Law when he was a kid. But I can't shake off this feeling that it was rushed. Like his parents and sister got introduced halfway through the episode and then dies a few minutes before the end. I would've felt more for Law if they'd let the characters grow on me before killing them off... but it might be boring so maybe they just decided to go with that cause you know that's a flashback within a flashback.. Anyway Law stabbed Corazon in the back.. that's attempted murder man wonder how the two will get along.

Why would click the spoiler button when there right before it you have "in the next episode"? I mean what did you expect, lol?

Whoooa, so this time OP+intro+recap only took 3 and a half minutes! I'm seriously impressed, they finally give us an episode with an appropriate length!!
Also, the pacing was normal this time (THANK THE SEVEN GODS) and the animation was just fine as has been for the past year or so, so nothing to complain over I guess.
Other than that, I almost cry. The only thing that put me off was Law's sobbing. It didn't sound convincing for me, it was just screaming.

By the looks of the preview we're having a flashback within a flashback... although I don't mind because I actually like Law and Mingo, at least it's not like Shippuuden where they're having useless character backstory episodes.

it was partly my fault for clicking the spoiler button despite knowing it will be a spoiler for the next episode but like I already said, it's irrelevant. What he said in the spoiler is not in this episode and this is a discussion for this episode. Why would you want to discuss something here if it's not happened yet?

After a short break of my marathon, I finally catch up! ^_^

What a past Law had there! Although I am sure this is just the start, knowing most of manga readers here claiming that Law's past is one of the most tragic past. Is it really that sad? *_*
Well, I guess I have to overcome my urge and curiosity a little bit.

Although I do not really get the feels on this episode, but I'm still expecting for more to come.

And one last thing :
I WANT LAW TO BE LUFFY'S NEXT NAKAMA!! :D
This wish might be a bit ridiculous and seems unreasonable knowing that Law has his own crews, and I also know the debate of this kind of topic seems to never end.

However, after seeing this flashback... I really really hope Oda will consider the possibility of Law joining Straw Hats. Well, this is just my personal wish, though.
