Reading One Piece pt 250: Today’s Topic Is: Everything Wrong With Feudal System. And Slavery. Cause We Have Slavery Now.

Chapter 497

Thoughts:

- Fpos/cs: “Save Rob Lucci: Kumadori performs to raise money for medical expenses” Goddammit, it’s always like this. Good people, keep it up! That’s so sweet! Keep it up! (tiny people on this island)

- rOP 250, yay!

- Franky and Usopp will work on Sunny while rest of them (minus Sanji) will go into town

- “I’m a slave to love!” Oh Sanji

- “Zoro! Where are you going all alone!?” “For a walk” *cue panic*

- I won’t type the whole exchange here, just know Zoro didn’t walk two steps away of Sunny and he’s already lost :D comedy gold

- Rest of Straw Hats went with Hachi and Camie (good thinking with transport, guys) into town

- “Some call them the world nobles, others the celestial dragons. They’re so arrogant they wear helmets to avoid breathing the air of common people.” Wow, ok

- “Remember, you mustn’t oppose them!” please oppose them

- Good thing they got Hachi with them, he’ll tell them outs and ins of that island

- Everyone stops on SA, including pirates, Navy, bounty hunters and human traffickers

- “If human traffickers catch you, they’ll sell you. And the law won’t protect you.” …

- I was pretty excited about SA last chapter but apparently it’s actually a horrible place to live

- Hachi put plasters on his face. That means nothing, nosir

- Haha, Luffy went into the bubble :D

- And now he got a bubble bike :D

- They all have bikes now :) it looks very fairy-tale-like (Camie has a really nice skirt, I want one)

- Hachi says bubbles pop when they leave SA climate (we got a demonstration with Luffy)

- BUT they work on Fishman Island!

- “I can’t wait to get to Fishman Island! I wish we were there right now!” I’m relatively sure they don’t go to Fishman Island until time-skip, which fills that comment with indescribable irony

- Lots of foods and hotels, which makes sense, that’s a main port

- Exploring islands is fun

- I don’t know how it looks in anime but here hotel rooms/buildings look like Christmas decorations :D

- they got souvenirs :D tourism at its best

- they split up, Nami and Robin went to the mall, boys+Camie will do the coating

- Robin says Camie is kinda quiet. I didn’t notice? But, traffickers. I get it. Straw Hats, keep your fish-people safe, I’m serious

- They went racing THE MOMENT responsible adults left the building :D

- Wait, what’s this?

- Oh SHIT that’s a slave

- …this is fucking horrible

- “Slavers wear collars tied to a chain. If you break a chain and run, the collar explodes!”  

- “That’s horrible!” yeah, Luffy :(

- “That’s a runaway slave! Get away! Don’t have anything to have with him!” what did these villagers see that causes that reaction

- “We… we have to help him!” “Arghh! What’s wrong with this place!” Brook and Chopper, Straw Hats represent

- Noble/Celestial Dragon alert (who calls themselves celestial dragons? They better can change into actual dragons or I swear to god will strike them off the list of respectful villains. Slavery is evil, just as villains should be, so. But this thing? No. You need to be THAT badass to call yourself a dragon. Galaxy level of badass, goddammit. Celestial requires a high badass level too, so I’m just. aaaaa)

- “DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT!” oh Hachi

- WHAT DID THAT DOG JUST DO

- …nobles alert

- So. This is happening.

- Oda doesn’t fuck around, huh?

- She killed him! SHE KILLED HIM

- After 

- (Hachi stopped Luffy from intervening)

- Oh, she might have not killed him. But not because she didn’t try

- “I feel sick” you and me both, buddy

- Apparently, if you harm a noble here, they call an Admiral to fight you

- “Is it Aokiji!?” that was my first thought too, Luffy :D It would be convenient for Straw Hats :D

- On second thought, I kinda hope not. That would mean Aokiji was actively helping slavers and I like Aokiji. I mean, WG clearly agrees to, maybe even encourages the situation on SA. By that means, Aokiji, by not interfering, passively agrees to everything here. I get that. But still

- “It could be Akainu or Kizaru” yeah. It tells me nothing. Was one of them in Ohara? Who was working hard on that promotion there

- (Yup, it was Akainu, he was there to kill survivors. What a first impression that was)

- “Why are these people so special?” “They have the blood of the creators” oh bullshit

- “Eight hundred years ago, twenty kings banded together to create the World Government. Their descendants are the Celestial Dragons.” LORE AND BULLSHIT, 2in1!

- “Over time, their power has gotten out of control” YOU THINK!?  

Ugh. Give me that lore and leave.
