[PATREON Content of the Day! - September 13]

The reason oda did not include the straw hat crew during the paramount war arc was because he felt it was a very personalized story centered around luffy and his family. Having the straw hats present during that time would have lesson the impact and take away from the drama in the story. Now that I look back, it was deffinitly an appropriate descision by oda. But now we are back in full swing ready to take on the new world.

Yeah Its a Tonal Shift that is very appropriate.

All of their new friends coming to help them set sail was so wholesome. Even Perona has become such a likeable ally, she personally came there and even went out of her way to defend them from the Marines.

People need to chill with the spoilery comments. This isn't the place for that, Jack reads these. Don't ruin a nice thing, giving him hints towards future events is only going to lessen his surprise which is not fun for anyone.

Luffy has been hanging out with him more than he has been with the crew

you said "ray of light, thousand sunny, its a common theme" ... note that down on your wall. trust me

Perona has one of the best timeskip glowups in the show imo

"alright lets see usopp flex" ummmm.... lol

Seems Jack didn't notice about Luffy's Bounty yet, guess we'll have to wait till it officially gets revealed to the straw hats

fun tidbit about the new opening, the lyrics in the chorus are: Ichi - 1 Ni - 2 Sun - Shine Yon - 4 We Go Sun Shine sounds a lot like San which is 3, it works as a perfect count to Yon we go, which also sounds like on we go. meanwhile 4 in japanese is either prounced Yon like it is here or Shi, which is similar to shine. Finally... 5 in japanese is Go. Its perfect! Its one of my favorite lyrics among one piece openings

Fun fact, as the manga was coming out, the entire rest of the Summit War saga after the straw hats got separated took 2 whole years to be released in the manga. Meaning that those who were reading weekly at the time actually felt the amount of time that the Straw Hats were apart from each other.

It's weird to think about but Raleigh and Luffy were together longer than the entire crew have been together

Not only do we get to see how strong his armament haki is, but just how easily observation haki comes to him. He felt Rayleigh. We're shown that observation haki is usually meant to detect enemy moves, but here Luffy is just having it at all times.

W jack for posting one piece Patreon reactions so consistently but anyways ussop > dbz verse

Before timeskip it took the whole crew to beat 1 pacifista... Now Luffy can one shot it by himself.

They have not reviled what happened to zoro's eye ;,0

"luffy is the ray of light" oh man
