how do you feel about one piece?

i’m not really an anime person. most of what i’ve watched was because i was watching with someone
but one piece somehow got me

at first i thought it was just okay - interesting world, fun characters
then it pulled me in and i started watching faster
now i’m somewhere around episode 1125 and honestly… i just want it to finish already

but i still like it. i like the crew, their bond, their stupid dreams
especially Luffy’s stubbornness. he chooses his own path and never bends that part i respect

favorite characters?
Nami, Robin, Sanji (the way he treats women is dangerous), and Shanks - i always want more of him

i even collect one piece merch now
got the flag with me on phuket beach once. felt like we were actually living in one of the arcs

right now i’m deep into skull panda too!
i want them all. the big ones, the small ones, everything
they’re sitting on my shelf waiting for more friends

so yeah… i guess i’m a fan after all

are you watching one piece? where are you at and who’s your favorite?
