These episodes are the ones where we find out that the invading pirates used a gas bomb made by Caesar Clown to bring down the Minks! I don't know why I find this so particularly annoying, but I'm real mad about it.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
covering one piece episodes seven point fifty eight through seven
sixty The King of the Day Duke dog Storm appears,
the King of the Night Master Cat Viper emerges, and

(00:26):
the Exterminated Capital the Twirly Hat Crew arrive. In these chapters,
we get to find out a little bit more of
what was going on with this invasion thing that happened
that was really strange, and it turns out that Jack
the Mammoth is a dude, which I really should have

(00:49):
put together by the fact that that mammoth had pigtails.
Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I

(01:15):
am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning
this episode. Yeah, so, you guys, you know me. You
know that I'm gonna try and keep it a book
all the time, as much as sometimes it isn't fun

(01:38):
for either of us. And I'm going to tell you
something right now, I don't like this arc. And I
know it's too early to say that, and I maybe
will take it back, and I hope I do, But
as of right now, this is this whole thing. It's

(02:00):
a combination of like really uncomfortable in certain spots, and
also very like by the book, by the one Piece book,
I should really specify in other spots. I think what's
bothering me is that because, like I know, I have

(02:25):
my issues with the dress rosa arc, but I did
really like it overall, and one of the things that
I liked so much about it was that it has
this incredibly bizarre premise off the top that is uh,
really slowly unraveled for you. You know, it's a you

(02:53):
don't even realize going into it that, Yeah, it does
seem super bizarre because it's a specifically a miss. It's
not just bizarre in the way that one piece will
sometimes inexplicably do wild shit. It's weird because something is
specifically being done to people and we are only very

(03:17):
gradually allowed to see what that is and have it
uncovered for us. And there's little hints along the way.
It's a pretty neat setup. And you'll know, I love
a mystery, and the whole memory thing. While granted, the
power that allows this thing to happen is incredibly ope,

(03:38):
and I stand by that, it's still made it all
a very fun puzzle. And so I think that dress
ros Up being such a cracking little mystery has made
coming back to this type of arc extra painful because

(03:58):
when I say this type of art, what I mean
is we stumbled onto a town that was being like
plagued by particular pirates. The people have been driven into
the countryside or into hiding in despair, have been horribly mistreated.
Everything was great until they got here, and now we

(04:23):
need you to save us. And we've just seen this before.
And it's in general one of the more boring premises
to me, Even like the Minx, which I was excited
about initially, it turns out like, you know, they're just
a different like race of beings and they are otherwise

(04:49):
like they have their own type of power, YadA YadA.
But there's really no mystery there. You know. I find
it mysterious because I think it is still very weird,
but there's no unsolved part of this. It is what
it is, and that's sort of it. The biggest mystery
really is how there came to be a whole civilization

(05:10):
on the back of an elephant. And the civilization, by
the way, is like the elephant itself is a thousand
years old. I think they said so. The civilization is
older than that of the colonized United States. I never

(05:32):
like to say it's older than the history of the
United States because just implying that our history only begins
when we are settled by Europeans is really gross, but
you know what I'm saying. So anyway, I think that's
part of what's sort of falling flat for me is
that I was tickled initially with dress Rosa by the

(05:55):
bizarre quality of a lot of what was going on,
and the bizarre thing kind of wears off almost immediately,
and then it is just seems to be a sort
of rope situation. The one exception is these people aren't
just like being tormented by pirates who came in here
because they want to run the place and take all

(06:16):
their money. They are here looking for a specific person,
and we don't really know why they want that person,
and that we do not know where that person actually
is either, because they don't seem to know who this
samurai ninja guy is. And I don't know if it's

(06:38):
like that there is potentially somebody among them that is
this dude and they don't know that, and the guy
has sort of hidden himself. It does not seem in
any way like we've got a guy who is being
hidden by them. I don't get these sense from the

(07:00):
way that they are reacting to the questioning that they
actually have information that they're continuing to hide. It seems
like they genuinely do not know who they are talking
about or why, like anything about the situation. So that's
kind of the only ongoing mystery that we've got is

(07:22):
why they're after this one guy and where is that guy? Actually?
Why do they think he's even here, Because that's the
biggest question is these dudes seem very very sure, and
I cannot decide if that sure quality is coming from

(07:46):
this dude just being out of his mind, because as
we see later, there is a strong suspicion of like
I think he says later like if you haven't found
him yet, it's because you don't want to. He says
something that implies that they are like refusing to cooperate
in a purposeful way, and the dude that he is

(08:08):
talking to at the time is sort of like, oh, no, okay,
this guy is just like wildly unbalanced. So maybe that's it,
but I don't know. It's like I would find it
more interesting if they had a genuine reason to think
this dude is here. But I don't know, you, guys,

(08:30):
I cannot. I don't want these dudes to actually be
harboring anybody and lying for them, just because I don't
like to see anybody suffering on behalf of another person usually,
But I also don't want them to just give up
the guy. So I'm hoping that there is some other

(08:53):
explanation that the Samurai is here but not with them,
and that that gets revealed soon, because if the Samurai
is here and not with them and saw the way
that they are being tormented and didn't come forward, that
would be a real bummer. I don't I don't know,

(09:14):
you guys. I just sort of I've been thinking about
all of the potential possibilities, and it just seems like
the Samurai has got to actually be here, right like
he's He's got to Actually, there's just no way that
we're not going to have him here when there is

(09:37):
both a group of pirates looking for him, and Condrea
and guinimon A here potentially also looking for him. Dude's
gonna have to be here, right So why why? Though?
That's the question anyway, So in the chat, Saraphim says, oh,

(09:57):
this is going to be weird. Whether or not to
translate in in Urashi and Neko Mamushi literally translate to
dog storm and cat viper or not is one of
the biggest translation debates, and not used to hearing the
English versions. Florian says, well, and where is Sanji? I

(10:19):
keep completely forgetting about Sanji. Florian. That is a good point,
Florian said of Saraphim. Very certain or unhinged as fuck
could be both true. Florian says, but yeah, it is
more than one piece formula in a way. I like
it though. After two years of Dress Rosa, this is

(10:41):
the thing I really was afforded like, despite it taking
as long as it took for me to cover Dress Rosa.
Obviously I was able to speed through Dress Rosa in
a way that y'all weren't, so I can definitely see
how you would not at all be like, you know, well,
I am in an unfair position here, totally agree, understand. Yeah,

(11:08):
I think it's just like I uh, that was the
part about Dress Rosa that I liked so much is
also the part that gets sort of subsumed by the
fight with the Flamingo. As well, so that's part of it.
Is like just this feeling of I want more of

(11:30):
the thing that I liked the best and less of
the fight that I found very repetitive. And I think that,
you guys, there are obviously exceptions, you know, obviously, so
I don't I hesitate to even say this, but I
think I kind of have to if I'm going to

(11:52):
be trying to be real. I think the least favorite
part for me of this show is the combat. I
just there are times when it's very fun, usually when
that combat is interspersed with some really comedic dialogue, which

(12:15):
is why the fights between like Frankie and Senor Pink
hit so bad. I just loved the two of them
so much, and their whole attitude while fighting is so
funny that when everything feels extremely serious, everybody is going

(12:37):
so hard jumping over to these two fucking weirdos fighting
each other and then pausing their fight because a cat
walked up, or you know, just like I adore that
sort of action. But I think that overall, combat is

(12:58):
just not really fun for me to watch in this show,
due to the fact that it is treated as such
a either a placeholder or a great spot to drag
things out really bad, or it can get very very repetitive.

(13:21):
It often is littered with the dialogue from like a
villain who I find either not that intimidating or I
just don't feel like the dialogue is doing anything for
the scene. Sometimes the dialogue it feels like, didn't we
already hear this? And you know in so many words? Yeah,

(13:43):
they will say the same thing in different words over
and over, and so I think these three episodes, that's
part of what also missed for me. I just I
watched these episodes twice. I watched them first on Tuesday night,
and then I watched the again this afternoon before recording.
And I'll be honest, I had a hard time focusing

(14:07):
because I just kept losing interest and realizing that I
had been on my phone and missed something and going
back and rewinding. And I did that both times I watched.
I had to rewind several times each viewing session because
I kept spacing out, and it just felt like what

(14:28):
we were getting was just lots of the same sort
of fights and the introduction of new characters who look
very similar to other characters. So it's hard for me
to like even keep track of who is who or
care And due to this all being about a particular

(14:50):
person that they're searching for that we haven't met and
we don't know why they want them being invested in
all of it is just not really for me. It's
just not happening. So overall, I will say that I
am not actually like super into this plot enough to

(15:15):
like I feel like after having watched it, what I
would say after all the rewinds is the equivalent of
having watched it three times. I still feel like I
barely absorbed what was going on other than they're here
for this. Samurai Jack doesn't believe that they don't have
him or that he is insane, and he breaks down

(15:36):
the entire city and also tortures a bunch of people
to try and get them to tell him where they are,
even though it seems pretty clear they're not lying to him.
And eventually the straw Hats show up save the day,
and now we don't have to worry because they're gone.
They left like as soon as y'all got here. They

(15:58):
did take Sanjy suck, but at least they aren't bothering
us anymore. Now. I'm so sorry. I just looked over,
Florian says, the one time in One Piece, animals get
beaten up and Natasha doesn't care. You have a point, Florian.

(16:22):
He followed it up with JK, but like kind of
not JK, Like that's actually a solid point. I think
it is the fact that because they are like so
humanoid and can talk and are very like regular people,
it doesn't have that effect of helplessness that usually an
animal getting beaten up, because you know, like that's the thing.

(16:44):
Animals are helpless and they are trusting a lot of
the time, and that's what pulls my heart strings, is
that particular thing that we exploit when we hurt animals,
But when they have like person hood, it just feels like, you,
guys can electrocute him. I'm not worried about you, you
know what I mean, Like it just doesn't But like
that's a fair point, though, Saraphim says, also, this is

(17:07):
one Piece, one is anything ever, what you initially think
it is fair. That is a mixture of just being
a classic excuse me, sorry, I'm burping. Classics shown in
manga slash anime where the fights are the main feature
and the anime drawing out the fights for padding Saraphim says,
the beast Pirates left for the most part before the
straw Hats showed up. Jack left to go try and

(17:27):
rescue do Flamingo from the marines right right, right and
then and but what's his face was still there Sheep's head.
I cannot deal with the fact that this guy's name
is Sheep said. I know that you all have explained
that this is like a pun about a card game,
and that's like, I believe you and sure, but also
it's just all I can think is like it just

(17:53):
it's a literal, you know what I mean. It's just
like I know that it's about the card game, but
also it is sort of about what he can do
and looks like. And it makes me think of Mary
as well, and how Mary was like a Sheep said
as also, and it's just funny. So all right, I'm

(18:15):
going to go through this. But like, honestly, I feel
like I have talked about most of what these three
episodes are on, and even though there is there are
additional details and all of that. When you go through
these episodes beat by beat, I don't really find most
of these details that exciting or interesting or particularly changing

(18:37):
the plot in any direction. So let's see, I'm picking
back up where we So we pick up that's right,
with everybody beating the ship out of Loofy because he
said Ninja and Duma. I can't remember the name of
the town, but yeah, they're beating the hell out of

(18:58):
him and covering his face up while he's trying to
say it again, and Wana, that's what it is, and
Wanda is like, well, okay, so you're familiar with that term,
then you must know something. And I really loved Nanny
is looking over at her, smiling with that like sweat

(19:18):
drop thing as she punches Loofy, but like off in
such direction that it's almost like she's pretending that she's
not doing it. And she says, Oh, don't worry, we're
teaching him now about makeshift, and then she keeps punching him,
and later on Lufy when he stands up, his whole

(19:38):
face is busted and he says, I don't think I
like this makeship thing anymore, which I thought was honestly
really funny. Nanny smiling brightly as she continues to fuck
Loofy up is never not funny as far as I
am concerned. That's that's prime comedy in this show. I
love it. Rook tries to say, is like, oh, no, no,

(20:03):
he didn't say ninja, he said injured. I think you
just misheard him. He's worried about your injured duke, and
Wanda says not ninja. Oh of course, how foolish of me.
That is so kind of Utia. I just want to mention,
like the uta, the little extra couple of syllables after

(20:25):
saying you makes watching this so confusing. Sometimes it's like
it's not really a big deal. You wouldn't think, but
like unless I am watching it with the subtitles on,
or I should say, the captions, which make it very
clear that it's just like you dash and then whatever.

(20:47):
When you're just watching it without that, I keep being like,
what did he just say and then realizing like, oh,
it's another Yeah, okay, he's doing the thing again. But
when we eventually meet Dogstorm, it funny because they walk
in and I think it's Zorro who says something like
he's huge, and I couldn't help but laugh because like,

(21:09):
once we see him, he's a big dude. But like,
we have met so many huge people in this world,
and it just doesn't feel like he is particularly bigger
than anybody else that we have met who is also
like abnormally large in size. It just was the sort
of thing where I guess, maybe in comparison, but there's

(21:31):
still there's other minks that they've met that are quite
large too. Anyway, Dogstorm is a lot more like he's
a lot more chill than I was expecting him to be. It's, uh,

(21:52):
you know, kat Viper feels like somebody who is itching
for a fight, kind of champing at the bit a
little bit, you know, and Dogstorm seems like the guy
who's Okay, I'm trying for peace. I'm trying to calm
everybody down. Won't we all just chill out and get

(22:12):
along for a second, you know? So anyway, I uh,
also I should mention he is trying to eat Brook too.
I just need everybody to start protecting Brooke a little
bit more because I don't like the way we're so

(22:33):
casual about it. At one point, Frankie says to Brooke,
like he's a very important guy. You should just let
him bite you, And He's like, do you see the
size of him? He would crack crack my bones and
kill me. Like and agree. Don't let him eat brook please.
The seraphim says, well, he's bigger than any of the

(22:54):
other minks other than other than the Nami's new bed.
Oh write that big guy. Well, yeah, like that's what
I'm saying, Like, I would expect this to be less
impressive after meeting that dude. You know that guy's a
he's quite large. And also we just met an elephant

(23:15):
literally big enough for a hole. But whatever, it doesn't matter,
all right. So before we actually reach dog Storm, we
meet what is the name of this guy, the guy
who is in charge of the what do they call

(23:37):
like the Three Musketeers, but I think they're called something else.
He's got the curly mustache and the hat with the
feather and you know, the whole He's got the whole
look going on here. I'm trying to find the spot
here here it is full power Shillian, a lion mink,

(23:58):
the captain of the dog Storm Musketeers. Oh okay, so
that's a much less exciting name than I was thinking. Shilion.
So he apparently is very disgusted with the men that
he is training. Oh, everybody is saying Sicilian in the chat.

(24:21):
This is saying shillion shi shi l I A N
And I'm wondering if that's like a translation thing or
because Sicilian has a particular connotation to it, and maybe
that's what we're going for, but I don't know that's interesting,

(24:43):
but anyway, so, yeah, he's training these dudes and is
very upset the way that the scene starts the same
yelling kindness, romance, love, babies, sugar and honey, and evidently
these guys have been too romantic in his presence. He says,

(25:06):
never say those sweet sugary words around me again, or
I'll tear your windpipes out, pull it together, and climb
back up. And one of the guys says, that's pretty harsh,
but cool, and then they all begin to think about
how like this is how he shows us his love.

(25:27):
We owe everything to him. We're so lucky he took
such soft hearted weaklings like us under his wing. That's
true kindness. And he is up there going did you
not fucking understand me? And he is standing there holding
an entire house over his head, looking down at them

(25:51):
and is like, I finished my sentence literally seconds before
you guys used the very words I told you to
keep out of your mouth and he chucks this at
them and they're just like, well, sorry about it, We'll
never say anything sweet again. And this is when he says,

(26:12):
see that, you, Gara, don't. This is a moment where
I had to take a second be like what oh oh,
he's saying a different thing at the end of his
you words, which you know. I know that there's like
some kind of convention that this is based on here,

(26:33):
but I just find it very confusing when it's everybody
doing it after just one word in particular, and that
it's a different thing for each of the people doing
it as well. So he begins to like when they
come up behind him, it almost looks like he's going
to attack the way that he leaps in the air,

(26:55):
but then he lands on all fours and has his
head pressed to the ground and just saying to Lufy,
thank you so much for all of your help. There
is nothing we can do to repay you. And I
think that it's Wanda who says he always goes one
hundred percent. He never holds anything back when it comes

(27:16):
to his work, and Lufy says, maybe you should hold
something back, which you guys, I don't know why that
got me so bad, but it was just so fun.
It was such a loofy thing to say, you know
what I mean of, just like hey, bud, chill, just
like a little Saraphim says, Tia is used by the women,

(27:42):
Gara by the men. Okay, okay, will you remind me
what this is? Is this the thing that's like done somewhere?
I don't know because I feel like I remember you
saying that this is based on something, but I don't
remember the details of it. But yeah, it's like, I
just it bugs me. Guys. I think that honestly, I'm

(28:05):
in this stage where and I know that I'm not
the only one to experience this. There has been like
a big change in the way that we have begun
mixing the sound on TV and movies versus the way

(28:25):
that we used to because things were done they was like,
you know, because of a lot of things being done digitally.
Now there's just a different approach to it, which has
made depending on what you're watching on certain things, it's
like more difficult to get the dialogue over the sounds

(28:49):
or the background music or whatever that's happening in the scene.
And I think that I have begun to find that
frustrating enough that adding anything into anything that makes understanding
without using captions like more difficult. I just instantly lose

(29:10):
my patience with it. And it's not necessarily even what's
happening in this show, because the show might have not
even been made after that mixing thing changed. I think
it's it's my overall attitude. But yeah, I kept on
just being like, like stop, it's like a mental stumble.

(29:33):
I guess as I'm listening to it and I'm processing it,
I always trip and have to catch myself whenever they
say anything with you. Saraphim says, it's just a verbal
tick he gave to the Minx. Okay, I thought that
maybe this was based on something, but yeah, So he
does his thing where he like rubs up against Loofy

(29:54):
quite a bit, who is starting to just be like
I don't know about all this, and they're allowed in
to see dog Storm. Wanda comes up and just hugs
his arm because he is so large. She can't even
fully like wrap our hands her arms around his arm
because it's that gigantic, and he thanks all of them

(30:21):
for their help. We Eventually he passes out and gets
back up again it's a weird thing where Lufy is saying, wow,
you must be really strong, and Wanda acts as if
Lufy's saying this is somehow insulting, even though I don't
get that, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be,
Like you saying that is almost as if you're trying

(30:45):
to provoke a fight or something. Dogstorm like when Wanda
tries to say he's the most powerful warrior we have,
is like, well, I still lost the fight, so praising
how strong I am is cruel right now. And she
says that wasn't your fault, the way that all of

(31:06):
that shook out. It's ah, you know that that is
not down to you being weak. This is when he
spots broke and starts drooling. Let's see, oh right, here's
the part where she starts explaining. He says something about
Shanks and that he used to sail with him, and

(31:28):
just as Lufi is saying this hat belongs to him,
he passes out. It's already six o'clock. What is he
a baby? I love us up saying that, and we
find out that yeah, it's Dogstorm during the day and

(31:49):
cat Viper at night, and the two of them used
to rule together, but they are They don't get a
long for some reason. And apparently kat viper his territory
is mostly in the is, like the whale forest specifically,

(32:11):
so that's where he tends to be. To say that
they hate each other, it would be an understatement. If
they met face to face, it's possible they would fight
to the death. We don't get much detail on why
that is the case. She just says one rules under

(32:31):
the sun. I'm trying to find the exact spot because
there's that break here. Yeah, here it is. Whatever happened
between them, they don't talk about it, but at any rate,
the two of them possess equal power both as kings
and as mighty mink warriors. They end up fighting. They
ended up fighting so often they decided to never see

(32:52):
each other again. So one rules from six am to
six pm and the other from six pm to six am,
which I was. It's just funny, guys, When how I
want to know how many places don't do daylight savings.

(33:20):
I'm just curious because like right now it is four
thirty nine pm here, sun is bright and shining. Sun
won't go down until a little after eight pm today
and It's weird because I went to a class yesterday
that normally, when I get to the class, I was

(33:41):
getting there when it was already dark out started at
seven pm. But this time I went and got out
and it was still light outside, so it felt strange.
And I was just looking at this and like, obviously,
I'm not faulting this for not taking into account different
like time changes and all that, but it did get
me thinking about how there's going to be a time

(34:01):
of year when six pm the sun's already set, depending
on where you're living, you know, And how insane it
is that we function this way. Why don't we just
leave time alone and let it be what it is.
I hate it so much anyway, not relevant, but yeah,

(34:25):
this is when uh Sicilian. I'll call him that if
both of you called him that, and it's easier for
me to remember. And it sounds less silly now that
you've called him Sicilian. If I were to call him Sshilion,
it literally just sounds like I'm trying to do an

(34:47):
impression of what's his name? Sorry, guys, that dog sparking
Sean Connery. So I just I don't think I can
say Shashilian now without making myself giggle, So I'm gonna
just keep that shit to myself and say Sicilian. But yeah,
he comes in and he explains that, like the people

(35:11):
that are nocturnal like me, he falls asleep at full power,
which I was sort of puzzled by this, and then
I realized, like, oh, yeah, because it's supposed to be, like, oh,
it just got dark. So I guess it's supposed to
be that you get all kind of muddled when you

(35:32):
are nocturnal, but you're like trying to function with the
people who are awake during the day, and just all
of this kind of screws people's rhythms up. And I
kind of felt that about this, like it just it's
something that I think it just sort of gets me

(35:52):
because I relate to it personally as somebody who has
often been I don't I wake up naturally at around
eight thirty or nine am. That's waking up at a
good time for me. I don't go to bed until
usually around midnight, and that's just naturally how my schedule

(36:15):
has fallen. And that isn't really great for a lot
of regular normal jobs out there. They just you know
what I'm saying, Like it has felt difficult my whole
life that my body's rhythm is set up that way,
and there are other people who haven't even worse where

(36:37):
there are people who are naturally just awake throughout the
night and you've kind of got to find a job
that like you can work overnight, and those jobs are
out there, and you know, but it's just like the
world is built for people who work nine to five jobs,
have weekends off, and have daytime to go get things
like doctor's appointments and grocery shopping done, and if you

(36:58):
don't live in side of those, you don't naturally function
well in that kind of schedule. You've just got to
make yourself in order to get certain things done. And
it's not like a huge deal, but it's difficult. Sometimes

(37:19):
it just adds an extra level of frustration. When other
folks who do naturally wake up at six thirty am
and go to bed by ten thirty and have a
nine to five job, they don't ever run into that
kind of friction because that's expected. And that's the way

(37:42):
that we have got most functionality in our world. Rotating around,
you know, not rotating around, you know what I'm saying,
Revolving around that's the one. Seraphim says. It's one of
those things that made sense of the time conserve resources
during World War One and just was around long enough

(38:05):
no one wanted to change it despite it not making
sense anymore like most traditions and quotes. Yeah, I just
feel like I have not talked to a single person
in my life that thinks daylight savings is smart or helpful.
Scientific studies show so many increased problems around changes in time,

(38:28):
like you know, people being less alert due to sleep changes,
so there are more car accidents, there are more mistakes
in the workplace, there's just more moodiness, you know, and
everything about what they have studied regarding it points to
it being something that negatively affects us. And it's just

(38:50):
it's very distressing to me how much information we can
have about a subject and yet ignore it and just
keep doing the thing that obviously doesn't work. There's cases like,
obviously I am somebody who knows that it's better for
me to exercise more, to eat more fruits and vegetables

(39:12):
and increase my protein intake versus my COVERO hydrate. I
can know all that and not do it right, because
that all requires a type of willpower that is an
ongoing thing that can be difficult to sustain. But when
I'm talking about something like the changing of the jump
ahead fall back, that's a rule that we change once

(39:35):
and institute this new change and then it's done and over.
You know, it's not an ongoing thing that we have
to So anyway, I don't get knowing this is bad.
It makes everything from our personal lives to how the
economy functions worse, and yet we're just still like, yeah,
but we should keep doing it. Like ugh, anyway, I'm

(39:58):
so sorry, guys, I said I I wouldn't do that,
and then I went back and I got back on
it again. So this is when we go back into
the flashback of the attack and all of these guys.
We have the fun moment where Wanda jumps in and
starts to take a bunch of guys out. Here comes Carrot.

(40:22):
Carrot really is like particularly looking like a real Marvel
style superhero. There's just something about her that's like keeps
speaking to me on a level, and I'm not sure
what it is. If it's maybe just that she sort
of reminds me of Squirrel Girl. But there's also this
black cat with a sword, and he looked pretty dope,

(40:45):
and they're all doing their electricity thing. But then you
hear a scream and we look up and see a
there's a mink that I couldn't tell if he was
supposed to be like a fox or a dog, but
he has been gripped by a dude who has a
crab claw. And there's another guy that Wanda is fighting,

(41:07):
and he has got like bullshorns on his head. And
so this is something that like didn't even really register
for me much until I was really like paying attention
more this episode when this guy with the bullshorns, he says,

(41:30):
try my wolf grip, and he punches forward and his
hand literally turns into the head of a wolf, and
it's like got glowing yellow eyes and it's snarling and
ready to bite her. He only does it with one hand.

(41:52):
I'm not sure if he is able to do it
with three hands or if it's uh, you know, but
the fact that Jack can turn into a mammoth and
that all of the other dudes here seem to have
some sort of animal ability or quality to them obviously

(42:15):
has to be significant. I don't know how, but it's
a weird like, are these people part mink or It's
like if they were part mink, I wouldn't think that
it would manifest as something that can go and come
as they please. Like sheep said, he can turn his

(42:39):
fists into horns, right, that's not like you have horns
for fists. They can come and go. That is a
devil fruit thing. But are these guys all people who

(43:04):
have eaten smile fruits salad? It is because like it's
just these are weird, weird powers. And the dude who's
got like the wolffist has bulls horns on his head
like it's it's sort of all over the place. The
other dude just has like a crab claw, Like what

(43:27):
is that? We don't even have any crab beings amongst
the minx. They are furred mammalian animals, so we haven't
had a giant crab wandering around. I guess he could
be part fishman, and I don't remember if we had
that kind of fishman perhaps, But yeah, something's weird about

(43:50):
these guys, Seraphim says. And you said we had no
mystery here. That's fair, that's fair. Yeah, I guess this
is so here come the three dog storm musketeers, which
dogskatiers really feels like it would be better, and I
kind of want to say that, but they're not actual dogs,
so maybe that's why. But one of them is a

(44:12):
zebra and he's got like long, flowing blonde like hair
band kind of hair. And then we have Sicilian in
the middle with his flowing beard slash mane of hair.
And then we've got what looks like a little rat man.
He's got a very pointy face with you know, pointy teeth,

(44:35):
little rat nose and whiskers, and he has holes cutting
his hat to let his ears out. So these guys
turn up and basically are he says. All other musketeers
lead the citizens to the forest immediately, and we have
this weird effect where the camera begins to tremble, I think,

(44:56):
just in an effort to show us how everybody demobilizes
at the same time. So, yeah, the musketeers go in
and start to take these guys down, but it's, uh yeah,

(45:17):
like I said, it goes pretty left. There is a
series of like, oh, you have the upper hand. Wait, no,
we do, We're doing something now. They when they run in,
they get interrupted by the Duke who rolls in on

(45:37):
the crocodile that Wanted was riding earlier. I'm assuming, and
everybody is like, oh, the duke is here. Everything is
going to be fine now, And we get the rainstorm
that happens in the next episode, which, considering that they

(45:59):
all have electricity powers, is kind of fortuitous. So a
lot of these dudes wind up going down. But like
I said, it's a lot of back and forth where
it feels like, oh, we've managed to get the upper hand,
and then all of a sudden they managed to surge back.

(46:20):
One of the ways they are able to do this
is that Jack turns back into his human form, which
is apparently just like partially it's the unexpected factor, but
also being a human he is able to do a
different style of fighting that it is easier for him
to defend with evidently, and the main thing that is

(46:45):
like on their side that the rain eruption as they
call it, really does throw a wrench in things for
many concerned Throughout this, I'm trying to get because like
the fight that happened in the middle here, I'm almost
out of time, so I'm just like trying to make
sure that I don't miss anything. Specifically about the fight. Yeah,

(47:10):
we've just got a lot of the electricity field being
used here. And I love dog Storm. At one point
he's like yelling up and says something about how every
nation has its share of fools, and as he says that,

(47:31):
there's like a cloud that passes over him, and then
when it continues it, he's gone, And all of a sudden,
you hear when the moon goes up. This is my turf,
and here comes cat Viper. Now, cat Viper, it's a
sort of weird name to me due to dog Storm

(47:51):
is also a weird name. I'll say that, but at
least he is a dog, and Storm is clearly meant
to be a sort of badass, intimidating, you know, Like
I don't like it works, but I get what you're
going for. Cat Viper is just two animals put together.
So that's a weird one and I don't love it.
But it's also what they're called in the American dub.

(48:13):
So I'm just doing that because you know, it's what
I'm going to remember. And cat Viper, he isn't what
I was expecting. I guess I was sort of thinking
that cat Viper was going to look more like Sicilian,
be more lionlike. He has certainly got a mane of sorts,

(48:40):
but uh, in terms of his overall coloring, it's sort
of giving like Heathcliff, the cat from the comic strip.
He has a flattened face that reminds me sort of
of like a Persian cat, and he's smoking a pipe,

(49:03):
which is kind of great. I don't know why, but
it just made me think of how like, you know,
the dog Minx are all about wanting to chew on bones,
so thereafter Brooke, but when you think about what the
deal is with cats, catnip is in there, and I

(49:26):
could definitely see if cats were more human like, then
maybe they would be into smoking a pipe packed with
catnip instead of tobacco. Perhaps. You know. He's also got
like purple eyes like the Irises, and it is really
really cool. I liked his design in that sense. And yeah,

(49:52):
he's like not only the coloring, but his tail also
is sort of giving Heathcliff a little bit. Or I'm
trying to think, is it Heathcliff or Garfield that I'm
thinking of? But Garfield's a lot more orange. I feel
like Heathcliff is quite yellow and he says something about

(50:13):
I wouldn't let a samurai step foot on this island,
and even if one dared, I would chew through every
limb on his body. So that doesn't feel just like
I don't know where he is. He didn't come here.
It feels like this whole thing with you don't want

(50:34):
to talk about samurai or wanna anywhere near him or them.
It seems like this goes back even further than just
they were here looking for a samurai. It feels like
there's some sort of ongoing beef, so I'm curious about that.
But yeah, he's I just wanted to describe his outfit

(50:57):
really quick as well, because he's got a long scar
running down one side of his face, which I'm assuming
he got fighting dog storm at one point, and he
is wearing a pair of very high waisted I would

(51:18):
call them shorts, but I'm not sure if they're really
shorts or not. It's hard to say when somebody's built
to the scale this cat is because he's basically got
a spherical body, and so it's sort of like they're capris,
and that he has a pale pink what do they
call that that you wear with like a tuxedo cumber bund.

(51:41):
It kind of looks like a cummer bund that he's
got wrapped around plain white shirt. There's a tag around
his neck and then draped over his shoulders in the
way that ODIs seems to love. Is like a Paisley
patterned jacket of some kind. And I enjoy the look
of this guy, I'll be honest. So he is standing

(52:05):
there after having knocked Jack on his ass, and then
Jack opens his eyes and this is when he recovers
from having been laid out by as a regular dude
beginning to fight back. I love when the cat Viper

(52:30):
reacts and just says that don't impress me much. And
obviously that is not the reaction Jack was expecting, and
he says something like I will destroy everything, and cat
Viper just says, yeah, all right, go ahead and try it. Bitch.
He doesn't say bitch, but it's there. You could hear it.
So then the fight continues and we get into the

(52:55):
next episode with the two of them dueling it out
here and cat Viper, despite being quite large, maybe the
tenth of the size of Jack, he is even when
Jack is in human form, cat Viper is considerably smaller,

(53:17):
and Jack is fighting with despite being able to turn
into a mammoth, despite having like that particular weapon when
he turns completely when he is a human, he does
not fight with anything animal like coming out of his
body in the way that his friends do. It seems

(53:40):
like he, like his friends, we're humans and we can
turn parts of ourselves into animals for the fight. Whereas Jack,
it's either he is fully the animal or he is
fully human, and it doesn't seem like he can do
a sort of in between thing here. Oh my god,

(54:03):
fucking cat Viper is so is such drama. He's looking
at and says, let's see it kill me. Then to
cat Viper, who is at first just like enjoying his
little pipe there and smiling, And as soon as Jack
starts to laugh, he's like, you better not be mocking me.

(54:26):
But as he is about to turn and fight, he's like, oh,
the sun came up. We'll continue this tonight, but don't
get killed by the fucking dog, because I want to
fight you. And he turns around and he just grabs Beppo.
I don't know that Bepo necessarily is nocturnal. I think
that he's just like considered to be, and so you

(54:49):
know he's being dragged along on this as well. But
this is when dog Storm comes running back and it's
just like, all right, I got my rest, so it's
time and he heads back into the into the fight.
We jump back in time or forward in time. I

(55:12):
guess it would be to Wanda, who is telling the story,
and she says that man is truly a monster. She's
talking about Jack and just basically Lufy says, so even
this big dog duke couldn't take that take down that
guy from Kido's crew. That's crazy, and she says, but

(55:36):
the same applied to Jack as well. He started to
struggle and he wasn't able to keep up juggling both
of them. He started to get worn down and he
finally decided to unleash a weapon because he got desperate,
which was a gas. And eventually we find out that

(55:57):
this is a gas made by Caesar. He is responsible
for this somehow. And when Caesar turns up like he
seems to know what the minks are as well. So
I thought that was interesting because like when the straw
hats are like, who are these guys, He's like their

(56:17):
fucking mink tribe, don't you know anything? And I was like, huh, okay,
because I was willing to think that, like, yeah, Caesar
made something and then it got sold, and then it
got sold. You know. That's the way that like weapons
dealing works, is that you make a thing and you
can sell it to somebody. But that doesn't mean that
person's going to actually be the one who uses it.

(56:37):
They potentially are going to hold on to it, hand
it off to somebody, you know, who knows. So I
wasn't sure if Caesar had any real connection to any
of this at all. But at this point, Wanda explains
that because everybody got paralyzed with this gas, they were
able to torture them because they couldn't fight back. And

(57:01):
we're crucified, and she says crucified. Now they're chained up
to these ex'es, but they're not getting nailed through their
hands and feet or anything. And I honestly assumed crucification
in like required the nailing. And I realized as I

(57:24):
was watching this, like, I don't know if that's true.
Maybe it's just being hung on a cross and the
method of hanging doesn't matter. It's just like, you know,
the overall the intent of doing that and leaving them
there is really the thing. I don't know. But you know,
they're tortured and interrogated for god knows how long, and

(57:49):
they all of course are continuing to say, we don't
know who this guy is, and we don't have him here.
We can't tell you anything. And she says the slaughter
continent need for an entire day. And on the sixth day,
I guess he must have had his fill of destruction
or grown tired of hearing the same answer over and over.
He left behind a few dozen men and suddenly departed

(58:11):
from the island. And this is when Frankie says, it
sounds like you're lucky to be alive. Dog Storm, who
wakes up here for a second, says that he says
something about fate. The truth became apparent after reading Jack's

(58:32):
obituary in the newspaper, and he holds it out to
Loofy and once again, let's see trying to find the spot.
The day that Jack finally departed was the day you
trounced do Flamingo. I realized he left this land in
order to liberate dof Flamingo from captivity. They must have

(58:55):
been bound by some deep connection. In other words, the
ones who truly drove that ruthless creature from our home
was you Gara. And then he falls asleep again instantly,
which is funny. So, yeah, this is the guy that like,
there's an obituary, but it doesn't seem like anybody really

(59:16):
thinks this dude is dead. Wanda definitely doesn't. And despite
the fact that maybe he's not dead, at least he
left here. So they're counting their blessings and I think
they're hoping that they have seen the last of him.
Let's see. Oh my god, Trapper, I forgot his name,

(59:39):
you guys, Oh my god, that was awful. Chopper says.
The day after Do Flamingo was defeated was the same
day we arrived. And we get the moment of them
coming in and just finding this place all like fucked up.
They first are, of course, overwhelmed by the sight of
this fucking elephant, and they manage to use Caesar to

(01:00:03):
carry them up the side. I really enjoy every way
that they manage to utilize Caesar's weird, gaseous body to
accomplish things, and how undignified it is every time it's
very very funny. I always like it. And yeah, they
come in there and they just see all of this destruction.
In some places there are still like bodies around. There

(01:00:28):
is a girl that I think I had thought was Carrot,
but in seeing this, it's the one that has like
that squirrel tail that they are running and chasing and
just like what is going on. And when they reach
the town, that gas is still there. And yeah, there's
a bunch of bodies still laying around and they're like

(01:00:50):
not dead. Well I don't know if maybe some of
them are, but this particular guy who is a tiger
is still alive. And when Caesar notices like the gas
is like one of his, he seems he says, seems

(01:01:14):
like this batch didn't completely finish the job. So I
guess I was supposed to kill everybody, but it didn't.
It just paralyzed them. So I don't know. But yeah,
this guy says, my name is Pedro. Please tell me
you're not their allies. We need your help, please, I
beg of you. Duke dog Storm and Master Cat Viper

(01:01:35):
are in need of urgent medical assistance. And we go
further along with the camera and we get to see
how many other people are like fucked up from having
been tortured and crucified, and dog Storm it looks like
is missing a leg. I think he's just straight up

(01:01:57):
like gotten his whole leg cut off, which that is
a bummer. It depends I guess how much of a
bummer it is in comparison to like the way that
it was handled with Kiros and it didn't seem to
affect anything about him in any way. Maybe it's not
that big a deal, But if I'm looking at it

(01:02:18):
from the situation of like any rational regular person losing
a whole leg, seems like a big deal. I don't know.
So yeah. So that is the end of the episode.
So next episode, I'm hoping that we're gonna be moving
forward with things a little bit and not having to

(01:02:39):
go into too many more flashbacks. I would like for
us to start getting the show on the road and
figuring out how to get Sanjy back and all of
this fingers crossed. But we will have to see. But
thank you guys very much, Florian and Sarah I'm for
hanging out with me. I appreciate you both, and thank

(01:02:59):
you Florine for commissioning this one. Appreciate all of you
out there listening, and until next time to the Loo, motherfuckers.

(01:03:36):
