Hosts Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas reunite (finally!) to talk through the chaos, carnage, and character drama in One Piece Chapters 1145 “Wildfire in Forest Sector 2, Branch Route 8” and 1146 “Motion in Stillness.” After a month-long break, the duo break down Gunko’s shocking fight with the Straw Hats, Loki’s past encounter with Rocks D. Xebec, and why Elbaf may be headed toward all-out war.
Also on deck: is Dr. Hiriluk secretly Xebec?? Jon pitches the reddit theory. Travis pretends to like it.
Topics this week include:
- Usopp and Nami step up against a full-on god (and pay the price).
- Gunko’s creepy regeneration powers...do the Holy Knights have Gorosei buffs?
- Loki’s backstory reveals…Rocks D. Xebec??
- Jimbei being the MVP firefighter.
- Brook possibly knowing more than he lets on about Holy Knights.
- King Harald’s deal with the Celestials and the mystery of Elbaf’s true allegiance.
- Why Robin and Chopper are in stealth mode.
- Plus: Fan comments, wild theories, and the pressing question: are the Straw Hats about to get wrecked again?
