Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
covering one piece episodes seven sixty one and seven sixty two.
Time limit closes in the bond between the Mink Tribe
and the crew and the delinquent comes home Emperor Big

(00:26):
Mom's assassins. In these episodes, we get some more of
the details about exactly what's going on with Sanji, and
it is not what I expected. Friends. I really had
a very specific idea of where he was what happened.

(00:49):
I was so far off and literally, guys, it just
never even occurred to me. There was another option, my surprise.
Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I

(01:20):
am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning
this episode. Florian is here in the chat along with
Sarah fem So, thank you very much to both of
you for being here. Yeah, these two episodes I actually
really really enjoyed. I was surprised at how I just

(01:43):
you know, it was very gripping because of the assumptions
that I had made and then finding out that I
was as dead wrong about all of it. So let's
jump in, shall we. The time limit closes in I
had mentioned you know already in the previous episode that

(02:05):
I found it a little bit what's the word I
want chilling, Perhaps when we find out that it's Caesar
who created the gas that's used on all of the
mink tribe, and the first half I would say of
this episode focuses a lot on Caesar figuring out how

(02:31):
to undo the damage that was done. I was the
scene where Caesar is really excited because it's the gas
that he invented. Happened in the previous episode, but I

(02:52):
didn't get like I had forgotten about this thing that
sort of caught my attention, and so I didn't mention it.
So I want to mention it here. There is a
face Caesar is making as he realizes that this is
his invention that is so off putting, and it's definitely

(03:14):
meant to be like him being overcome with excitement at
getting to see it in the like in the flesh,
see it working, and you know, he clearly like imagined
what the effect of the gas would be but never
actually got to see it. So there's that aspect of it.

(03:38):
But the face that he is making is his eyes
are doing something and I can't even really describe it.
But I never want to see this look on his
face ever again. That's all I'm gonna say on the
matter is just that it was a different Caesar Clown

(03:58):
than we normally get to see, and I hated it.
I'm gonna also just like quickly, guys a little peek
behind the curtain, as if there's any curtain really on
this show. But something is going on with Crunchy roll
right now, and I can't actually see any of the animation.

(04:19):
I am on the episode. It is playing the slider
to scrub to different parts of the episode. When I
am on that slider, I can see the animation in
a little thumbnail, but the larger screen is black and
the subtitles are working. That's the only thing that's popping up.
So I don't know what's going on. But forgive me

(04:41):
if there is something that I'm not really able to
see the detail of, because I'm kind of having to
just go along with the thumbnail right now. So anyway,
the whole like Caesar Clown, it's like ecstasy. It's in raptures,
you know. And I was so proud of Chopping for
beating the ever loving hell out of him. He is

(05:04):
so he has such a firm sense of right and wrong.
And when Caesar tries to be like, I didn't set
the gas off. I don't know why you're yelling at me.
I didn't do this. I was ready to hurl and
thankfully immediately Chopper is like, if you hadn't invented this

(05:30):
fucking garbage, we wouldn't be here in the first place,
which correct. Everybody applaud Chopper. Yes, thank you, I Caesar,
come now. He really does see it that way, though,
I suspect you know what I'm saying, Like, I this

(05:53):
is the thing I think with the state of the world,
there are a lot of people I think that are
really good at detaching their own actions from the consequences
of those actions and divorcing them in such a way

(06:15):
that they are able to tell themselves an entire story
about why the suffering or exploitation of other people isn't
that big a deal actually, And it's really like it's
something that I understand in that as a younger person,

(06:38):
when I would watch movies or TV shows or read
books where you know, somebody died because they did a
thing to save someone, the person who survived because they
were saved, being like they are dead because of me.
It's my fault. I would get really impatient with that

(07:00):
kind of sentiment because it always just felt for me,
how like that person made a choice, and yes they
wound up dead, but it is not your fault that
they're dead. You didn't shove them in front of the train,
you know that kind of thing. I really only understood

(07:25):
consequences in a super direct and yes, childish way. Now
that I have grown up, I understand the ripple effect
of actions taken, and I understand that while something may
technically be truly not somebody's fault, while something might yes,

(07:49):
a person made a choice in doing the thing they did,
you still can feel like it was your fault because
of a feeling of obligation in the moment, feeling like
maybe you owed somebody something or a manipulation that was
you know, put on you. This this sort of thing

(08:11):
is I think part of what is wrong with our
world in general is how many people are able to
just step aside from their fault in a thing and
then behave as if any other fallout is none of

(08:31):
their business. Basically, you know, Caesar made these horrible weapons
and genuinely feels like the fact that there are so
many casualties here has nothing to do with him, and
I really think that he actually believes that, And there

(08:51):
is a part of me I am not going to
lie at kids that sometimes is like, it must be
so nice to live like that. It must be so
lovely to feel no like responsibility or shame about a

(09:14):
thing I can't imagine, because like, I just don't live
like that ever, not since I was little. And it's
very infuriating to know that there are a lot of
fucking not just adults out there, but also adults with
real power, people who really have the ability to make

(09:38):
the world a better place, and they just don't. And
they don't see a single thing wrong with the fact
that they're choosing not to. And I can't understand that mindset,
you know. I just I don't think I ever will.
And in reality, as much as I say it must
be nice, I don't really want too because it would

(10:02):
turn me into a much worse person. But I envy
the simplicity and the free feeling that people like that
must have. So anyway, as usual, Sangi has to bully
Caesar into doing something about this gas by squeezing his heart,

(10:25):
and they get that whole thing with the water rushing
over them just as this is being cleared up, and
so we kind of pick up here in the part
of the story where are where the episode that first
rejoins this crew picks up. I don't know how many

(10:48):
episodes ago now, it was probably like ten or twelve,
but yeah, it was. It was this moment where they're
having the confrontation with Sheep's head and gin Rummy, and
I thought, because Jin Rummy, you know, remember, she says
something like, clearly, the Samurai isn't here if we haven't

(11:14):
found him after pushing them this far, so go back
and report that he isn't here. I uh. At the time,
I thought that she was talking just about our guys
and pushing the straw hats this far, and that we

(11:35):
had come in at the tail end of a pretty
big straw hats fight, and that she was saying, Okay,
so the Samurai isn't with the straw Hats. So I
was thinking that it was either Kinemon or Contred or
even potentially Zoro, even though that didn't really seem very likely.

(11:59):
So now find out it was not actually anything to
do with them. When she's talking about he's not here
after we pushed them this far. She's talking about the Minx,
So it just recontextualizes that whole thing. And also it
makes it so that my assumption that Sanji got grabbed

(12:23):
up by them, like I'm starting, I'm starting to see
at this point in the episode, I'm like, wait a second,
did they grab him? Is he the one? Because it
sounds like they wanted to pull out of this, and
eventually we see that that isn't it. But we have
then the sort of recovery section of the episode, which

(12:47):
this is as close as we get in this show
other than like the celebration parties that we always have
at the end of an arc. This is the closest
that we get to a moment of everybody getting to

(13:08):
just chill together and show off their skill sets in
a much lower stakes setting than we usually get to see.
And you guys know, I was super, super into this.
We get Chopper managing to basically heal everybody. You know,

(13:31):
he's managing. There's a nurse and I think there's another
doctor or maybe he's also a nurse or something, but
Chopper is in charge of the two of them. We
get Soanji making a huge bowl of food for everybody,
and you know just that bit where he gets to

(13:55):
roll in a giant pot that he has made for
every body to enjoy, and how excited he is, and
how all of the people like the the gas. They
had sort of thought at first that maybe everybody who
was down was actually dead. And eventually they begin to

(14:17):
come to when we realize they're going to be okay,
but they're still like weak and in tough shape. But here,
once we see them eating, they're beginning to regain their
strength and kind of come back to themselves. Then we
get Brooke, who is playing music for them. He's doing

(14:38):
the I can't remember the name of it, you guys,
but you know his song, and it's just everybody getting
to like relax and rest and it was really nice.
I just this is one of my favorite elements of

(15:00):
the story, and I want more of it than we get.
And maybe that's exactly the way it should be. Maybe
I should always want more of this kind of thing.
But sorry, oh my god, there's a bunch of chat
that I missed. Floren says there is a novel called
The Physicists, which explores the extent to which scientists behind

(15:22):
it are to blame when a destructive weapon is used.
It is really good and kind of a comedy. Interesting. Yeah,
it's the sort of thing that, like, it's tough too
because there are inventions that are made for a different
purpose and then some fucking psychopath comes along and sees
this incredible advancement and they figure out, oh, I know

(15:44):
how we can use this as a weapon. And the
scientist is like, wait, what, Like that's not this was
supposed to help people who are blind. What do you mean?
You know, Like, so I'm not trying to say every
bad thing that comes out of it, somebody is like
necessarily directly respond because sometimes things are out of your hands.
But you go, what I'm saying, Saraphim says, true, But

(16:05):
in Caesar's case, he's just an asshole. Well, I mean,
like that's that's kind of my point. That's what I'm saying,
is that these people who don't feel that connection are assholes.
I love how much Chopper gets to shine as a
doctor in these episodes. It is Florin exactly, Sarah m
I do love the whole helping the minx section. The
goat is doctor Miagi, the squirrel is his nurse Tristan

(16:29):
Bink's saki right, because it's Bink's brew in the dub
Florian says. And before that, Wanda tried to blow up Nami.
How nice? Right? I forgot about how Wanda comes out
of nowhere, And you know, I kind of want to
fault her a little bit for being like, are you

(16:51):
with them? Yeah? Because she like yells you're with them,
aren't you? But then doesn't actually like really wait for
an answer before attacking. And so there's a part of
me that feels like, hey, girl, you could have slowed
your role on that a little bit. And then there's
another part of me that's like, why would you ever

(17:11):
assume they weren't with them? Like, of course that's what
she's assuming they're humans and they're here. What else would
you think? You know? So I pretty much pulled back
on my internal criticism of her with that, but I
will say that, and you, guys, I really want to

(17:33):
like emphasize here. I don't like making the same criticisms
over and over. So when I start to do this
and you feel tempted to roll your eyes and go
here she goes again about a thing, I really want
you to step back and think, is it that I

(17:54):
am going again or is it that the show is
going again? Because it really makes me sad that the
only like in the in the midst of the We're
helping the Minx recover section, all that Nami really gets

(18:15):
to do. It feels like is exchange clothes with Wanda,
and you know, like if there's something that I am forgetting,
let me know, remind me, and you know, that's fine,
But it just feels like I want the women characters

(18:42):
to be to have more of Like it's not like
Nami doesn't have a talent, because she does. It's navigation
and it's this weather thing, but it just feels like
there are so few moments where she really gets to
show the things off anymore, and otherwise it's a little

(19:05):
it's just kind of a letdown upon occasion. So I
will say, though, I do like that, because, like, you know,
when I first saw her in this outfit, I was
very much like, that is so pretty. Nammy looks amazing,
you know, and Namy herself is one percent just like,
oh my god, this is gorgeous, thank you so much.

(19:26):
And then she finds out that this is like heirloom
clothing that is being given to her as a gift
and an indicator of friendship. And the trading of clothes
is part of mink culture and you know, ensuring that
you are friends, this is like part of the ritual.
So that explains why later Wanda is wearing NAMMY's bikini top.

(19:53):
But the only thing that Nami really hears that it's
not so much like, oh, I'm honor that I'm being
given this this piece of history. She just immediately gets
basically like dollar signs in her eyes about how she's
got this really valuable piece. And I like, I understand

(20:18):
the sentiment. But as I am an extremely practical grown up,
all I could think was, Nomy, just try and sell
this somewhere and see what you get for it, Like
nobody cares about the history of this place. I bet
I don't see it. Just enjoy that it's a beautiful
piece of clothing. That's fine, Saraphim says. Also in pure
Odo wordplay, the gas Caesar uses to neutralize the poison.

(20:41):
Gas is just the poison. Gas is name spelled backward
in Japanese. That makes sense. Actually, yeah, I like that.
Florian says, she's the emotional support who cheers Wanda up,
which is fine if she is not the only woman, right, Like,
that's it, And then Florian says, I love the outfit.

(21:02):
Saraphim says, she's also the one in the group with
the high charisma who talked the minks into listening to them,
And yeah, this is one of my favorite Nami outfits. Look,
Nomino's the value of money and we'll find a way
to get paid. That's fair, Sarapheim about her high charisma.
And I suppose you're right that it's like, you know

(21:25):
that this is a valuable asset. It just is part
of this ongoing thing where it feels like the women
do such intangible stuff sometimes and when it comes to
some of the more direct skills or fighting abilities, they
are left out and it can just make me feel frustrated.

(21:49):
But that's fair. So let's say I'm trying to put
because I can't see the animation here, guys, this is
a little bit harder to do than you. I'm trying
to get to the spot because the moment where they
have to convince Wanda to listen to them goes on
a little bit longer than I remembered. Oh right, and

(22:11):
then we come back to the present and Loofy is
just like ready to beat the shit out of some
of the people who were involved in this, and they
have to remind him, like, hey, Bud, you remember how
they said that he's already dead, right And he's like, oh, yeah,
that's annoying. Now I'm not going to get to kill him.
And I was like, Lufy, this is why I love you,

(22:33):
and this is the energy you guys. This is It
may seem sort of weirdly off topic, and maybe it is,
but I'm going to go for telling you about this
just because it's been pretty grim lately. And uh, you know,
this is something that we've been saying for years now,

(22:54):
but it is as of today. It is July eighth,
twenty twenty five. And they just passed the big beautiful
bill last week. And we had the flood in Texas
that killed a bunch of people that maybe could have
been avoided if resources had not been slash the way

(23:15):
that they were in a variety of areas. And there
are just a lot of people who are cheering on
the abduction and separation of families and their children. And
you know, I I don't want to talk out of

(23:37):
my ass about how we need to fight back in
this very abstract way that is extremely safe to do
from my comfy office on my podcast. But I will
say that I am having this growing sense of when

(23:59):
are we really gonna fucking do something, you know? And
maybe I don't know if this is something that will
matter to anybody else, but I am writing a story
that is set in New Bedford, Massachusetts, which, for those
who are not aware, New Bedford was one of the
most racially diverse cities in the United States for its time,

(24:25):
and very very abolitionist and had a lot of organization
built into it to help escape slaves hide and travel
further north to Canada where they would be free or
basically redefine themselves and stay in New Bedford under a

(24:48):
new name and start a business there and behave as
if they were born free, because that was the weird
thing at that time in the US was like different
states had different laws about slaves, and if you were
born in one place versus another, you were born free
or not. And there wasn't great record keeping so and

(25:08):
no photograph, so you could kind of just move somewhere
and then be like, oh, yeah, no, that's that's not me,
I'm so and so and just completely redefine who you were.
And as I'm writing this story, I'm having to do
a lot of different research about the timing of certain things,

(25:31):
and this leads me to learning about specific people and
it has been really encouraging. I guess Florian says they
passed it dot dot dot question mark. Wow, they sure did, Florian,
They sure did. And the thing that worries me the

(25:52):
most about passing that bill is how none of the
Republicans who voted for it, because they were the only one.
No Democrats voted for it, all of them seem really
unconcerned about re election in a way that I find
genuinely chilling, Like why aren't they worried about it? And

(26:17):
the only reason I can think of is that they
don't believe that a reelection is going to be an
issue for whatever reason, which after Miami decided that they
were going to postpone their election for what is it,
mayor for another year without a vote from anybody, So

(26:37):
now everybody gets to stay in office for an extra year.
That just feels like a real harbinger for the ways
in which elections are going to kind of not be
as much of a thing here in the United States,
potentially perhaps maybe so. Anyway, the research that I have

(26:58):
been doing, a lot of the people, the white people
who were involved in abolition work were Quakers. Not all Quakers.
There were plenty of Quakers who owned slaves, but the
ones who were really out here doing shit were often Quakers.
And there is one particular person who was brought to

(27:22):
my attention by Austin Armenia who's aware of this project.
His name is Benjamin Leigh, and he actually was out
here like abducting the children of slave owners and then
being like, yeah, sucks, doesn't it. That's what it's like
when you abduct these people's children and separate them forever.

(27:45):
It's like that, that's exactly what you're doing, which like
that kind of I am going to do something about
it kind of energy. That's what we need. And I
really don't even know exactly how to direct energy like that,
because our problems are so broad and so the system

(28:07):
is so complicated on purpose to make it so that
you can attack multiple parts of it and the rest
of it will still grind away and keep functioning. So anyway,
all this to say, lufy, just immediately being like where
is this man and how do I smash him? Feels
real comforting to me these days, as does looking into

(28:28):
history and seeing how many people were really anti slavery.
And it sucks to know that these people were out
there and slavery continued on for like another one hundred years.
But I also like being reminded of the fact that,
like terrible things can be happening, and that does not

(28:49):
mean that everybody thinks it's fine. And this is something
that I'm clinging to regarding immigration issues in the United
States and how many folks are mobilizing to just kick
Ice of their city. You know, they're creating a barricade
so that they can't come into their neighborhood, or businesses
are ushering people inside because their business is private property

(29:11):
and then telling Ice do you have a warrant? Then
you can't come in here. And it's these little, like
these little pockets of people who are just not necessarily
breaking the system, but they are doing the one thing
that they can do, and I find it really really inspiring.
I really do. Florian Florine. You've got two different icons here.

(29:39):
You got your FS and blue and then the F
and purple. But Florian says, this all reminds me the
book club thing is still on. Have a book suited
for that about Harriet Tubman and would like to hear
your thoughts. It is still on. I posted a Patreon
post asking for people to suggest their books last week.
So the one that's going to be coming up on
Saturday is I'm starting to worry about this Black Box

(30:01):
of Doom, which I'm going to be covering with Sydney Cindy.
I keep calling her Sydney because Ciddy is my other
friend Cindy. I'm going to be covering it with Cindy.
So yeah, I'm going to be making a post for August,
so keep your eye over that anyway, guys. I know
that that felt really off topic, and maybe it is,
but I just thought it was. It has made me

(30:24):
feel sort of encouraged in general, and I hope that
I have been able to pass that on to you
guys as well a little bit, because I think we
could all use as much encouragement these days as we
can get. It's been pretty grim and I think that

(30:44):
a lot of us are feeling like what's the point.
And the thing is about what's the point is that
things do change, if people push enough, but often they
don't change within that person's lifetime, and we do kind
of have to like begin to learn to accept that

(31:05):
might be the way this works out. And you know
in the United States that these changes it's going to
take longer than we would like. So all right, So
then on to seven sixty two, the delinquent comes home
Emperor Big Mom's assassins. So as we are continuing to

(31:31):
get the rest of the story from the other straw Hats,
we are finding out about how the the Big Mom
pirates followed the straw Hats to zoo and they're going
to what is his name? Pea coomes Zoo's his homeland.

(31:57):
I think it's zoo, right, it's a bunch of animals
in a zoo. Is that it is? That the joke?
Oh boy? But anyway, this is his homeland. And so
he feels pretty confident that he can go and deal
with the straw Hats because he knows the terrain and
he knows the people there. And then when he rolls

(32:21):
in the place, as we know, has been reduced to
rubble in a lot of places, and Pickhams is instantly
certain this was the straw Hats and is so angry,
which a part of me wants to laugh at the

(32:44):
fact that he thinks the straw hats managed to do
this much, damaged this quickly, But another part of me
is like, uh, some of them do have a lot
of power. Though I guess, like maybe that's not an
absurd thing to think, but I get in terms of
timing them being the ones that he pursued here and

(33:05):
then finding the place in this state, it does kind
of make sense that he would jump to that conclusion.
And what's his name? The mobster that is with him
is looking around and is like, is this how this
place normally looks? And I'm like, why are you even
asking this question? Do you not see he comes here

(33:26):
just like freaking out, asking, oh my god, what happened here?
Like obviously no, this is not normal for this place,
so oh my god. Sorry, guys, I'm just missing chat stuff.
Saraphim says, it's pronounced zo and it's just the Japanese

(33:46):
word for elephant because Oda and Florencea's reminder, Dress Rosa
was one day and look at that place. Yes, but
but I would argue almost all the significantmage in Dress
Rosa was due to do Flamingo and his crazy power. Nevertheless,
you aren't wrong, but I'm just saying so let's see. Sorry, guys,

(34:13):
I'm just trying to scrub forward here. I really wish
I knew why this wasn't showing me the animation. Oh
my god, I forgot about the thing with fucking sangy.
I don't know. Maybe I'm not so mad that Sanji
winds up separated from the rest of the group. But Sanji,

(34:34):
apparently bro is not particularly bothered at all that these
minks aren't human human and finds anything with tits as
appealing as anything else with tits, whether or not they

(34:56):
are fully human or not, and so he does a
lot of running around and greeting them excitedly while rubbing
up against them and then getting a nosebleed about it,
because that's just how he be. And of course, at

(35:20):
one point the males also want to like snuggle him,
because for them this is not a sexual thing, this greeting.
It is just a nice thing, but he tells them
to fuck off and die, basically because it's women only
and they are all just sort of like, I wonder
why the lower minks always have this like weird thing

(35:47):
about females only, and I was just rolling my eyes
because it's just it's just so gross, that's all it is.
It's just very lucky. I don't like it. And eventually
he linds up going to find Nami and he finds
the room that she has tried on her dress, and

(36:10):
when he walks in and spots her in this outfit,
he utterly loses his shit. And it's a great moment,
you guys, because he gets this expression and you see
him like start to head toward her kind of before
he can stop himself. It's just like this impulse that
he can't control. And as he begins to come at her,

(36:36):
she just lifts up her fist with that kind of
like dead pan expression on her face, and you know
that she decked him. And I honestly lived for it.
I really this is one of my favorite bits with Namy.

(36:58):
You know, I've said before that they never let her fight,
and the exception is she will punch out her crewmates
a lot. Actually, she will deck Sanjie for this kind
of behavior. If Loofy and oos Up, those are the
most frequent ones I think start to act like idiots,
she will beat the fuck out of them and leave

(37:18):
them on the ground. So I shouldn't say she never
gets to fight. It's just very different, very different. But
the way that anytime it is somebody who has like
not really stopped to consider who they're about to deal with,

(37:41):
that they haven't nami all. It's not even really a
smile on her face. It's just more that she like
is there's no real change of expression, and you just
see her fist appear next to her face. The joke
of her just being ready to fight at any second

(38:03):
and this person being really unconscious as they head for her,
that she is about to ruin your fucking day. You
are walking away with a broken nose? Do you not
see the way that she's acting right now? Like where
where's your head? I don't get tired of this. I
really like it's it's I think because I have a

(38:26):
similar reaction as she does sometimes where I am just
like are you are you serious? Are you fucking for real?
Right now? Like that is the vibe whenever she gets
that sort of look on her face is like, okay,
you know what, I've been nice and I'm done, you know,

(38:48):
like that sort of punched you with a smile. I
can't help but respect it and also find it very
very funny. So anyway, sorry, guys, I'm running around here.
There's also a point where this woman comes to get
the medicine from Caesar clown and she calls him like

(39:12):
doctor Caesar or something. She calls him by something that
it makes him very sad that apparently he can't hit
on her because she is a super sexy sort of
cheetah woman, and so he is extremely horny for her.
And it's just there's a lot of horniness. There's a
lot of it throughout this so and Brooke meanwhile is

(39:38):
having to run away from all of the animals. Anytime
you see one of them that's talking about Brook but
has very red, glowy eyes, it's clearly this is an
animal that wants to chew on him excessively. And I
can't help but laugh now because like the past few day, guys,

(40:04):
brief aside, I have two dogs, and if you have
dogs that chew a lot, which not all do, Pippin
is not a big chewer at all. Our Win, however,
is a pitbull and she is super chewy and getting
stuff that she will chew but can't totally destroy. In

(40:28):
one sitting is next to impossible. You can get them
all kinds of stuff that will hold their attention for
a little while, but the stuff that really holds their
attention is usually perishable like yak cheese chews or bully
sticks things like that that do wear down and disappear

(40:49):
after a time. But I've recently found there were some
bones that I would get sometimes from Walmart and they
would break into these pointy, dangerous shards and stop getting them.
And I found some at PetSmart that don't break apart
like that. And it is the first time I have
ever really watched a literal dog with a bone. And

(41:13):
it's a big bone, guys. I'm talking like at least
fourteen inches long and like six inches wide at the ends.
Like it's massive. And she holds in her two paws
and goes fucking nuts on these things. And she manages
to pull apart bits of sinew and like connective tissue
that you can't even see on them until it starts

(41:35):
to get wet from their saliva and stuff. It is
kind of grizzly. It's actually awful like, and also there's
a smell with it. She loves it. I'm so glad
to have found this thing. The bones last for days.
It's great, but also it's so there's something about it
that is so like primitive feeling, you know. And so

(41:59):
now with this plot point of these animals wanting to
chew Brook's bones, I can't help but like have like
a more visceral reaction to it than I did before,
because it's really something. It really is something, guys and
I the power of her chewing and the marks that

(42:21):
she leaves in him. I'm surprised there hasn't been more
of an ongoing joke about Brooke having teeth marks in
him and stuff. We've definitely had jokes about his clothes
being tattered and whatnot. And maybe it's just that he's
immediately getting milk and that heals his bones right up.

(42:41):
But having seen firsthand the damage that a pipule's jaws
can do, yikes, you know what I'm saying. Sorry, let's see.
Florence says, Hey, you wondered if Sonji would be interested,
like two podcasts go asking you shall receive. I forgot
that I even asked the question, Flori, And now it

(43:02):
seems so silly, like, of course he would. I kind
I think that I made the comparison between them and
Mermaids and how he was super into Mermaids, so probably
he would be. But yeah, you're right. I forgot that.
I even asked. Sarah Fan says, Look, there's ample proof
that being part animal is not going to deter a
sizable sample of people, and for many is going to

(43:22):
be a bonus one hundred percent. I've thrown no shade
on furries. It's not my particular thing, but I also
can see why it wouldn't deter you, you know, like
fucking whatever. It makes me think of that uh hashtag
jokes on you I fuck monsters on Tumblr, which I

(43:44):
do think is very funny. But yeah, so I uh,
this this whole thing with poor Brooke, knowing that they're
not just trying to be affectionate with him like they
were with Soanjy. They just want to be chewing on
his bones. I felt a little sad for him because

(44:05):
there's a part of me that's like, oh, Brooke just
really wants to make friends. He just really wants to
be appreciated, and he's not getting that. So jumping ahead
a little bit, Pecams, I hope I'm saying that right.
He is trying to find anybody who is still around,

(44:27):
and he eventually runs across the two guards, the Lion
and the goat man, who are outside the gates guarding
the place, and he I was so relieved, y'all that
this doesn't continue on the way it does, because the

(44:50):
episode did one of those things where it has the uh,
what's the wording I want here? You know that interstitial
that the episodes have where it's like somebody's theme music
and they're like portrait comes spinning down. That was clearly
the start of a commercial break. It does that kind

(45:14):
of right after the scene begins, and I the way
that it starts off, Oh okay, short eat like Peck
says Sarah FM. I was certain that we were going

(45:35):
to get this thing where he's demanding tell me the truth.
It was the straw Hats that did this, and one
of them is like, hey, calm down, and he's like,
I knew it. And I was instantly just, ugh, you
knew it because this man said calm down. You take
that as a confirmation of what you just said. And

(45:57):
then it goes to the interstitial, and I was like,
oh boy, are we about to have a whole thing
where all it would have taken is one person going, no,
they saved us, which literally took me about one and
a half seconds to get out. And then I have
to watch this like fucking misunderstanding continue to unfold. Is

(46:19):
that gonna be the way that it is? And thankfully,
right after the interstitial we come back and he's like,
it's not them. They're the ones who made sure that
we are safe and recovered from the gas and have
food to eat. You know, Like when we come back,

(46:39):
there is a moment where he's just yelling, I'll tear
them apart. Where are they all? Make them pay for this?
And then listen, everyone's alive and well they're in the
fortress and we have the straw Hat Pirates to thank
for that. And Pekins is like, wait, what which I

(46:59):
was sort of hoping Peckhams would Well, I guess what
I was sort of hoping for was that he would
do exactly what it is that he does later, but
that you know, he wouldn't wind up getting shot for it,
which is what winds up happening. I was so sad, y'all.
I was genuinely like it was a moment of uh shit,

(47:25):
because there's only two of them, So I didn't think
what was his name, Capone, because it's just the two
of them. I guess I just didn't think that Capone
was going to turn on Peckham's because then he would
be all alone on this island, so to speak, surrounded

(47:50):
by enemies. But I guess what he is thinking here
is that, well, it's basically just me versus says Sanji,
and who's with Sanji? Here? There's one other trying to
get to that scene where they confront Sorry, guys, with

(48:11):
that being able to see the animation, this is fucking
me up a little bit because even some of the
the thumbnails they don't like. As I'm scrubbing through, it
doesn't go frame by frame, so it's skipping over parts
as I scrub through it, and I'm unable to like
really get a good look. Ah uh, I'm sorry, guys.

(48:38):
Oh it's is it Caesar that's with Sanji? Later he's
the one, Oh Brook is with him? Okay, So Brooke
was able to get away and came back, but Sonjy didn't. Okay,
so let's see. I'm trying. Oh yeah, peck I'm getting

(48:59):
reunited with some people, and one of them says that
kid was a trouble maker when he was growing up,
which I did think that was really funny that this dude,
you know, who's with the Big Mom's pirates and is
really like causing trouble out here, had a bad reputation
to begin with among his own people, which totally makes sense.

(49:23):
And let's say I'm trying to find the spot where
he's saying like, oh yeah, Soanji says, when did we
become bros? What the hell did you piss off? But
how did you piss off Big Mom? And Caesar says, look,
just hear me out. I accepted a grant for research
and I haven't quite gotten anyone wherewith it yet, so

(49:44):
I lied and pocketed all the money. Can you blame me? Do?
Flamingo had my back, so I might have gotten a
little bit carried away. And Sanji says, it's worth like
it sounds like you earned this. If they're looking for you,
then maybe this is no big deal, which I have
to agree. You know, Caesar's just behaving like you owe

(50:06):
me back, like keeping me from getting captured. And I'm
just like Caesar, you had to be beaten up and
threatened into helping these people, like why do you think?
Are you serious? Caesar is just very very who he is.

(50:26):
Let's see, I'm trying to find the spots here because
there's also a conversation. I can't remember who is saying
this about making Fishman Island my territory because Lufi is
on like a call, and I think it's Big Mom
that he's talking to. And it's a flashback too, because

(50:48):
Sandre says something about Loufy picking a fight with them,
so that is way way back, and it's a Big
Mom talking about making Fishman Island her terror. Oh my god,
I keep forgetting too. Brooke makes these jokes throughout all
of this about like keep both eyes on me, even

(51:10):
though I don't have any eyes, Like he's trying to
distract this little kid when Chopper is going to give
him an injection, and here says something like, oh, in
that case, we'd all be dead or double dead in
my case. And I am just waiting for the day
when these jokes start to get old for me, and

(51:30):
it still hasn't happened. It's not happening ever. I don't think.
I just always love it. So let's see. There may
be from Big Mom pirates, but there's only two of
them between you and me. We can surely handle a
couple of piddly little whimps like them. I'll just pump
a little poison gas into the air. And the expression

(51:57):
on his face again, he just is so excited the
idea of being able to use this poison gas. Caesar,
you're a real sick Oh you know that, I like,
come on, which it's not a terrible plan, frankly, so
let's see. I'm so sorry, guys. There's a few moments

(52:21):
here where I don't know who's talking, but I think
Caesar says something to Sonji about are you considering my
brilliant assassination proposal? And it's Sonji who replies to him,
I'm not accepting suggestions from jackasses or dumb asses. Which

(52:42):
there are times where Zoro and Sanji both can be
a little bit too cranky, and I'm like, hey, guys,
want don't you chill out a little bit? And then
there's times like this where the person they are doing
it deserves it, every bit of it, and it feeds

(53:03):
my soul. And that's one hundred percent how I am
feeling right now. Now. Don't get me wrong, I really
enjoy having Caesar Klan around due to this fact. But
I'm just saying that how Sanji has absolutely no time
for him is extremely amusing. So let's see trying to

(53:28):
get this part where because Lufi is like trying to
get uh, Let's see what he did was admirable. He
led the two of them away from the fortress and
into a forest, and we get the confrontation between the
two of them, and I say confrontation it really isn't

(53:49):
because they're expecting something terrible. But Peckhams is like, I
just wanted to thank you, and he started sobbing crying,
and Sanji's like, what are you talking about? And he's like,
I never thought when I came back the place was
going to be in the state that it is. And
I thought when I first saw it all that like

(54:10):
everybody was going to be dead, and it turns out
they're alive because you helped them. How can I ever
repay you? And he literally like falls to his knees
in front of Soanji crying and just like, you know,
what's the word? I want? Abject? And let's see. Sonji's like,

(54:39):
let's see, oh right here it is. The mission is
a failure. Just hand over Caesar. I'll explain to Mama
that we let the straw hats get away this time, okay,
And what's his name? Capone says, you got to choke
those feelings down if you know what's good for you,
and he says, shut up, let me do this. You

(55:02):
don't understand the position I'm in. I have to help
the people who helped my friends and family, Like you know,
he feels this obligation to them, which I think he should.
And Capone calls him a yellow bellied rat and then
basically lets the choppa sing and opens fire and empties

(55:28):
what would you call that a drum? You know, those
those big fucking gatling guns of ammunition into Peckham's, who
I am really not sure is actually dead. Because of
the way this show works, it can be sort of

(55:49):
unpredictable sometimes, Like I would say that somebody like Peckham's
is disposable and we could have him be killed and
it would be nothing. And also he was shot seventy
eight times, so he should be dead. But also maybe
the show wants to, like let the crew have an
advantage by somebody who's a turncoat and can feed them

(56:15):
information about Big Mom's crew and is thought to be
dead by Capone, and so is left behind. I don't know,
so let's see Sera frumcis yet the end of Fishman
Island LFE cause of Big Oh yeah yeah, Florence says, So,
what do you think how did Capone take Sonjy or

(56:38):
did he I think that Capone is wearing a double
breasted suit that Soanji really likes, and he asks for
his tailor and Capone is like, oh yeah, sure, I'll
show you right where I got it, Come with me,
and then jazz music begins to play on a saxophone.

(57:03):
I think that's probably what happened. Sorry, guys, It's just
funny because, like with the fact that he has those suits, Sanji,
and that he smokes and the music that plays, I
always kind of forget that he's meant to be sort
of like like kind of a sophisticated vibe and a

(57:27):
city vibe because of that, you know, and every now
and then the interstitials it'll be his music and his
picture and that serves as more of a reminder than anything.
Florence says, Wow, you got it. Skipped to episode nine
fifty six. I don't know what Capone's ability is. I

(57:51):
know we've been shown it, but I don't remember. I
genuinely don't know. Oh if like because Brooke is here,
So what did Brooke do in this moment? You know?
Why did he escape? Leave Sangy? And I don't know.

(58:16):
There's just like there's a lot about the whole setup
here and the way that it goes that I don't
understand how he could have gotten Florian says. There was
also the talk of a letter. I don't remember that part.
I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know how

(58:40):
I miss that actually because I had two dogs that
both wanted pets this episode or these two episodes, so
I was very focused on the show because I didn't
have free hand for my phone, So I don't remember.
They'll talk of a letter, I believe you, but it didn't.
I don't remember it. Who's talking about it? Was it

(59:03):
when they were riding on the crocodile? Wow? Yeah, don't remember.
Maybe it's a call for help or something, or I'm
trying to think what could be if somebody wanted help
from Sanji, that could be it. Maybe it was a

(59:24):
letter with the address to a tailor. It could also
have been the letter, like the address to a local
grocery store. I'm just trying to think, like what and
capones roll in all of this, like how what would
even happen? Like, I don't know, I don't have any guesses.

(59:47):
I'm afraid I have nothing here, so apologies, but yeah,
that is how the episode ends. I'm just so frustrated
that I can't see it. I don't know what happened
to crunchy roll guys. It's very annoying. Eugh. Okay, so
I'm gonna wrap this one up, but thank you very

(01:00:07):
much Florian for commissioning this one. Florian says, I like
this a lot. I aim to please. Sarah Fim says
it was an invitation to a mixed gender topless cook off.
Sangi's one weakness that would be so amazing. I could
just see if we did like a fast forward to
where everybody is, like, you know, thirty years from now,

(01:00:31):
the one piece has been found. We've all moved on
to bigger things, and by bigger, I mean really much
much smaller things. Sanji being the cook at a very
high end strip club would be perfect, except it wouldn't

(01:00:52):
be because he'd never get any work done. But I
think that the way they'd play it is they have
to lock the kit so that he can't get out
until he's finished making the meal, and then as a reward,
he's allowed to come out into the club part and
see the girls. But yeah, anyway, okay, I gotta wrap up,

(01:01:12):
but thank you guys again, and thank you everybody for listening.
Until next time to the lou motherfuckers. That was an

(01:01:49):
