#maybe all anime mentors are like that and i just don't watch enough anime idk

Sometimes i think i left my jjk phase. Then i remember that Gojo is the most powerful force in his universe, but instead of exploiting that for his own gain or just sitting back and spouting wisdom at others, he actively leverages his position to challenge the status quo and make the world safer for kids, which is so incredibly rare in fiction. And i go insane about this series all over again.

Hi! One piece/icos anon here!! Your reply on my OP ask was lovely! Actually to answer the question there, I'm not updated with the manga.. but I'm watching the anime weekly because I like to suffer like that. That show had brought me tears like LEGIT TEARS and ughh, I love it so much I don't know how to describe it.!! 😭 Oh, AND I DO PLAY OPTC!! But i'm a poor pirate so I only do it for free.. I cried when I got Ace btw. And I wanted Law for so long But I still dont have him....

You aren’t crazy far behind then if you’re watching the anime :) The manga’s ahead of the anime, of course, but not by a bajillion arcs. So that’s pretty cool :) ISN’T IT SO FREAKING TOUCHING? This series is ridiculous. I have reread and rewatched it so many times and I still cry in places, or still burst out laughing other places. It’s just so freaking well done. And then the places where it isn’t 100% perfect it’s like, who cares because everything else is so amazing. Nothing will ever 100% be perfect, anyway, because everyone likes different things. 

I love the current arc in the manga…. I’m not sure if the anime is on that arc already or if it’s still in the arc just before it, but either way it all leads together into sort of telling the same story.

OPTC - Oh cool! You should add me! I’m ID 320,084,061. If you haven’t used that function yet and don’t know what to do with my ID, go to the friends button and click “find friends” and then it will let you input my ID. My username is harleton trotters.

OMG NO KIDDING ON ACE T_T Did you get the Ace that everyone got around the Marineford thing a month or two ago? He’s the only Ace I have. I really wish I could get other Aces too T_T There’s one of him at a hot spring which I just think is fucking hilarious XD So I really want him XD

That’s one of the funny things about OPTC–it’s really fun getting the characters, but then the fact they have all these versions of the characters, and the things they say in some of their versions, or the way they look, is so funny.

My friend just got a Mihawk who cracks me up because he sounds like he’s coming onto Shanks XD He’s in this super sexy male model pose and he’s like– wait, let me just show you XD

ORLY MIHAWK. RLY.

I DON’T THINK SHANKS WILL MIND YOUR POWER, MIHAWK. U GON BRING IT TO HIM IN THE BEDROOM OR…?

lolll just kidding but seriously, it’s so hilarious. I know that’s just a line taken from the series, a pretty cool scene in fact that was relatively serious, but when you combine him saying that while specifically addressing Shanks and in his male model post plus also what is he doing with his right hand??? 

It’s just so funny XD Combined, it gives this really amusing totally unintentional other vibe than what the line was from the series XD

(I got way too excited and talked more + included more screenshots so I’m putting this behind a cut for anyone who’s like DO NOT WANT ON DASH)

Anyway – I have Law

Also, I have Giolla (not sure if you have her too) – she’s great to have on the weekends because she doubles the berries earned so if you use her on the treasure cave isle, you get more money. If you don’t have any sort of beli/berry increaser as a captain, if you ever need me to play her on a weekend you can let me know.

You are doing the right thing, even if you have money. You should definitely not spend money XD I mean, I’ve gotten some great characters from using gems I bought, but I also wasted a shit ton of gems. 

Like this latest sugofest, I had 50 gems I’d bought, and I thought at least I’d get some cool marines or something. I got the shittiest pulls!!!! wtf! I only got 2 legit actually good characters out of 11. My friend who started playing the game with me in January (he’s also obsessed with OP and he told me about the game), he’s had way better luck than I have on a lot of his pulls generally. Like he got Fujitora right away, and right away found a Blackbeard friend. I’ve been on the struggle bus for different parts lol But finally I’m getting cool, more powerful characters. Jinbe/Jimbei, Marco, and Namule with a Moby Dick ship are my fucking jam, and then I’ve been cycling the other 2 characters because some big bosses have immunity which renders my beloved Usopp Golden Pound useless, etc.

Anyway point being, this shit is random as fuck, so whether you spend the money or just diligently save up through the free play, you have the same chance for luck as anyone else.

BUT if you haven’t already checked out the optc subreddit and guidebooks, I did find them useful. I don’t really play as a AND SO I MUST BE BEST PLAYER EVER KEEPING ONLY TOP NOTCH CHARACTERS ALWAYS PERFECT TAP TIMING!!!?1/11 sort of person–I like collecting the characters because I love them from One Piece, and it amuses me to see different teams, etc, but I do also like being able to clear content without being annoyed. So I do tend to use my Jinbe/Jimbei team the most, because it works really well with Elephant Gun Luffy as my helper/friend captain. But anyway I don’t know what pirate level you are–if you’re a lower level than me and are trying to figure out if you should power up this or that character or evolve someone or whatever, if I happen to have heard anything about it I can let you know :)

Also, since you play OPTC you’ll get what these mean so check out some of the screenshots I’ve done of things that amused me, whether it’s the animation or the crews XD

Double Luffy, with Law, Corazon, and Brook–that team made me so happy XD Also, Corazon sets himself on fire XD Plus Zoro

I feel like the below team would have had really awkward conversation before they set out…. you’ll know why if you’re through Dressrosa XD

I screenshot this because Calgara looks like he wants to murder and then eat you on his picture lol

Look how cute Perona is when she’s bound:

She’s so much more dramatic than the others lol SAD STORY though I realized that when Marco is bound, his wings/flames go away T_T So sadddddd

btw that’s been my usual crew when I can afford it–EGLuffy, Jinbe, Marco, Namule, Usopp GP, and then I like to have Perona but my Jinbe costs 55 atm so I can’t afford her but HOLY SHIT DUDE I did Smoker + guard point Chopper instead of Usopp/Perona on the Garp isle yesterday, and I still had to spend gems because that fucker kills me so fucking fast, but it was super helpful to have that defense instead of offense on an immunity boss–idk why that hadn’t occurred to me before.

And then this team below has a common theme which I maybe won’t say in case you aren’t far enough in the series to know it but you probably do:

And then!! I was so happy to make this team!!

It’s the mentor/guardian team

Cora would also end up burning the entire fucking building down on accident, you know he would XD

Lastly, I had to share this just because omg Bonnnn I’m so sorryyyyy T___T (He’s so cute XD)

I’ll stop now lol I have a lot more screenshots because I’m A FUCKING NERD but probably everyone’s like CHILL THE FUCK OUT LADY OMG

Oh oh oh I saw some pics I took of my figurines though, in looking through this, so I’ll do a separate post of that in a second because they’re cute XD I got the little tea guys (I wanted the whole crew T_T But I couldn’t get it to order from Japan T_T Crunchyroll told me I ordered it and then it canceled on me T_T) so anyway I only have 3 (Zoro, Nami, Chopper) but they’re really cute on my bigger figurines XD They’re supposed to hang out on a cup but they’re way cuter hanging out on these guys. I’ll do another post to show them!

(If you want other screenshots of my character crews or anything let me know, I just don’t know if it’s that interesting for others lol)
