Just as a reminder, Admiral Akainu’s real name is Sakazuki. We saw him back in Robin’s flashback as the vice-admiral that ordered the destruction and death of the non-scholars of Ohara.

I love how Blackbeard is in NONE of the episodes in this reaction but still somehow found himself on the thumbnail of the video

Crocodile is insane. He actually shit-talked Jinbe, who is quite possibly the strongest fishman that uses water as a weapon, in the middle of the OCEAN, when his weakness is WATER. The man is so disadvantaged it’s not even funny.

"Which one's Luffy gonna fight in this arc?" "YES."

When Zoro first arrived with Perona we thought she would make his life a living hell, but it turns out Zoro managed to be stupid enough to beat her negativity

Willpower translates to strength in the One Piece world. Rouge having the willpower to keep Ace in her whomb for 20 months actually makes sense based on that.

48:38 Yup, I was one of the people thinking "girl, you have no idea how wrong you are, but also not how close that shot was." Also, the Marines may be a mixed bag, but I think the fact that they were ordered to look for a newborn baby and pregnant mothers, with the intent of killing or incarcerating them because they were associated with Gol D. Roger should raise a bunch of red flags about the World Government. I mean, if Ohara, the Celestial Dragons and what they did to Tom didn't already raise enough of those.

I actually had been spoiled about Ace’s parentage long before I ever read One Piece. BUT, I FORGOT about it!!! So when I read One Piece the first time this left me gobsmacked!

19:37 If you remember the 11 supernovas on sabaody archipelago, scratchmen apoo (the guy with piano-like teeth) is a member of the longarm tribe

Alicia, "normal" humans in this world don't really follow the same rules we do. Ace's mom being able to hide him in her womb for a year and a half sounds totally on-brand for One Piece logic 😂

As a man with absolutely no reference for how agonizing childbirth can be, I too would die if I gave birth to a 1-year old child. That is legitimately one of the most insane feats in One Piece for me because like...did she do that with sheer willpower? Reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid legendary badass who went into labor during D-Day, gave herself a c-section, stitched herself up, then went on to storm Normandy anyway.

"Pirate King!" *Wood plank falls*

its funny she missed the dialogue of perona saying zoro was lost in the castle for TWO DAYS

9:41 Zoro following Perona and just…veering off to the left somehow is FAR AND ABOVE my favorite “Zoro is lost” gag

A lot of people were thinking that Roger is Luffy's father But when they know who is Luffy's father no one was thinking that Roger is Ace's father Because Ace & Luffy are brothers

This is a series where we've seen a man slice a tidal wave in half with a sword, another man made a portable combat weather machine with a box of scraps, another... individual... cooked ramen through his nose. And yet, every single person, without fail, is stunned by the impossible feat that Portgas D. Rouge pulled off. That is genuinely impressive.

I remember in Alabasta you actually said something along the lines that what if Ace is actually Roger's son and isn't actually related to Luffy. So you did kind of call it. Edit. It was episode 94 and it was 15 minutes into the video. And you can read the comment section on that.

I can’t believe this video was uploaded a few minutes late… I don’t understand… I had my whole morning planned around it… I can no longer relax… I can no longer clean my ass… I can no longer eat my cheese…

Nah. No one mind when you said Gold Roger is Luffy's father in early episodes. That is a common take for all first time One Piece reactors. They try to connect Roger to Luffy any time they could. 😂 There are other takes when they understand that timeline/ age wise does not fit, they said Roger could still be Luffy's uncle. 😂

Time for the big one. My personal favorite arc in all of One Piece.

There’s a mission in a one piece game where you have to go to like 5 different towns to find Zoro. People say they told him to head south so you have to go north to the next town for someone else to say they told him to go south. He’s trying to get to the southern harbor and someone tells him to head south and find a dock. You find him at the end of the most northern dock on the map.

Though not brothers by blood, Ace and Luffy unquestionably have a bond of brotherhood.

The admirals are indeed color-coordinated, they also have matching codenames: Kuzan's codename is Aokiji, Blue Phaesent, Borsalino's codename is Kizaru, Yellow Monkey, and Sakazuki's codename is Akainu, Red Dog.

The former lord of this castle needed his attendance to poop properly.

Naw when you realize the only person who actually knew Ace was Rogers son was Garp so how did Sengoku find out if Garps the one that told him thats crazy

Funny how Ace wasn't originally meant to be Rogers son, and it came up from one of Oda's editors being like 'Wouldn't it be crazy if Ace was Rogers son?'" and Oda took that as a challange. Somehow he managed to twist his story in order to fit that narative without it contradicting the story. And apperently it was a last minute change. On a different note, I kinda question the reveal moment a bit. The whole flashback with Roger telling Garp to take care of his kid, happens after Sengoku reveals who Ace's dad is. So in a way they took the shook value out of that scene.

120th Day of Consecutive One Piece, love How Alicia is one of the few people who instead of going feral screaming just stays frozen in disbelief. Also this is one of the rare occasions where the two episodes were recorded in two different recording sessions. If you have been following the One Piece counter you will find a neat surprise on tomorrow's episode

37:34 lmao she even started laughing like Mingo 😂😂

whitebeard is such a legend, there is even nursery rhymes dedicated to how fucking scary he is lmaooo

Only Zoro could make a simple direction task take days

i assume oda got the inspiration for that from the whale sharks (yes that very same species jinbei is based on) they can keep their babys in their womb for many years and only giving birth once the circumstances are safe and there is enough food around.

Fun fact: Oda didn't plan from the start for Ace's dad to be Roger. In the middle of writing this arc, he told the idea to his editor, and got a shocking response so he went through with the idea.

“Oh honey-sweetie-baby, shut the fuck up” is solid gold

She literally did doffys laugh when he was on screen

If Rouge was pregnant with Ace for 20 months and Roger was executed a year and 3 months (15 months) after he was born; that means Rouge was conceived 5 months before the execution

You gotta appreciate the sub text of the atrocity the World Government performed to hunt down a potential kid of Roger that Sengoku was slightly hesitant in mentioning the pre-born kids and mothers affected.

i dont find its a bad crackhead theory that you found luffy as roger's kid, but your definitely not "correct" in suggesting it. loguetown was way before ace was introduced and the show has made it obvious that luffy has similarities to how roger thinks

its not about the fact buggy was part of the crew... its the things that he might have seen, known, and lived through that you didnt even think about.

35:46 ...Yeah, those subtitles are wrong; 絶対的正義(Zettaiteki Seigi) means "Absolute Justice". 36:00 ...Unless it was meant to be here. In any case, the text here reads "Marineford -Marine Headquarters-". 46:39 - 47:44 ...Yeah, this moment worked better in the manga. Originally, when you turned to final pages of chapter 550, Sengoku's revelation was first and after that Garp had that flashback with Roger. In the anime, for some strange reason, the order of these two events was switched.

Know what's insane about the whole 20 month thing? It's the theoretical "full term" pregnancy for humans. Since we evolved to walk upright, though, pelvises became smaller and narrower meaning that child birth became more of an issue. So we evolved to shorten the pregnancy window and to have our kids "premature". It's why our babies are born useless while every other mammal can essentially already crawl or walk. Love when Oda draws from shit like that. Same with how the Den Den Mushi's are based on a irl tech that was being investigated to create phones using snails before phones worked. Based on a theory that snails made psychic links to each other and could communitcate over long distances (was called the pasilalinic-sympathetic compass). It didn't work out though, because, you know, snails not being psychic and all that.

Portgas D. Rouge: "F*** you, contractions." She said that for ~11 months. The sheer willpower is unimagineable.

3:00 Mihawk just shidding in the dark, glaring at the door.

Just so you know, Admiral Sakazuki "Akainu" is based off Takeshi Kitano, just as Kizaru and Aokiji are also based off real actors (Kunie Tanaka for Kizaru, and Yusaku Matsuda for Aokiji)

around 400 episodes ago. Log town ends as Warship island arc starts and that arc starts in the early 60's I think.

25:20 crocodile trying to pick a fight with another warlord when his weakness is water, and jimbei specializes in water, and they are surrounded by the ocean.

We're almost to it, the biggest pull up in all of one piece, Whitebeard rolls deeper than anyone in the whole show at this point.

It's crazy that Alicia predicted Ace being Roger's son back in Alabasta

Indeed, one of the biggest things in One Piece is 'inherited will' and found family(straw hats, Hiluluk and Chopper, Ace and Whitebeard etc etc), blood doesn't matter nearly at all.

i mean yeah, aside from people throwing houses like a baseball, hearing the thoughts and emotions of hundreds of people across a whole island or knocking people out with yor mind, being pregnant for 20months sure is crazy enough to only leave devilfruits as a possible reason, i agree

41:05 It was indeed not new info, but people are so used to people forgetting that that they are used to big reactions when that is mentioned again. You're good Alicia!

Zoro is the prime example of why fighters shouldn't tank wisdom.

Be glad there isn't a wooden plank behind you in this reaction 😂 IYKYK

and the coaster train that's been climbing for 2 arcs finally reaches the top of the hill

The beauty of OP is that "hundreds of episodes ago" stuff

"My question is, which person will Luffy fight in this arc?" Yes.

Zoro got so lost he arrived at the spot before Perona, even though Perona was flying. This is proof that Zoro can get so lost he warps space. At least, he can in the semi-canon episodes. As further proof, remember that time in G8, when he got the entire crew lost in a straight corridor, and they ended up in a different corridor that wasn't even connected to the first one.

Crocodile has double weakness to water. How the hell is he gonna stand up to jimbei 😆

It’s so funny I thought about this moment when Alicia brought up her Gol is luffy’s dad theory

Lowkey I love the name Pekkori. Because he has a ram on his head and "Peccora" is sheep in italian xD

Indeed, buggytild us during his intro ark he and shanks were on the same crew. I don't think we knew what crew until Raleigh told us. But we knew he had connections for a long time.

Ace sentenced to death by a thousand stairs

Just looked it up, 375 days is the longest pregnacy on record according to google, still not nearly 20 months but an interesting fact i wouldnt have looked up without watching this video

that's because no matter how big a jerk or asshole akainu is, he is the one piece giga-chad.

The details lost on recaps are not usually anything that you would miss really, also recaps for binging are barely useful! They are alright when you are 300 weeks later 🤣

So two things: 1. "Who does Luffy fight?" I want you to hold on to that question because it is actually very important to this arc. 2. "You guys must of gone crazy over my crack head theory" I was laughing so hard at the time you said that. One of the biggest reasons you will never beat the pre watch alegations🤣

It will not be in the anime and it was in a Manga panel sooo... Crocodile once challenged white beard and he lost and got disrespected quite a bit. He was tied up to a fishing rod and used as a fishing bait by white beard, he already had a hook for a hand so it was perfect.

Alicia went off on the toilet and even said a fart there would make you feel like an emperor but did not call it the Throne Room, smh

Well if I recall it wasn't mentioned in the first flashback that shank and buggie were on Rogers ship, but releigh said it in archipelago. So yes was said earlier.

Some people suffer from face-blindness, Zoro just happen to suffer from place-blindness 😂

The toilet room is still one of The mysteries of all time

As we can see, Ace shares Luffy’s habit of getting trapped inside things for extended periods of time. For some people it’s snakes. For other it’s…

She kept Gol. D. Roger's son inside of her for a year overdue just to keep his identity safe. She literally did that until all her lifeforce was spent, probably thought the longer she holds out, the better hidden he is. That's how you take your mom's name, not your pops. Also that means Ace is a year older in body than his age since birth.

This is why everyone believes that zoro's ideal devil fruit would be the GPS fruit. Imagine he finally knows exactly where to go?

"Unless they've been nameless" Alicia, do you think they're going to name every marine soldier and random whitebeard pirate? People are definitely gonna die

Once she saw Doffy, she laughed like Doffy. Fufufufufufu.

This was the most tame Roger being the father reaction bruh... Didn't expect that.

funny how the Impel Down Arc eneded at the same time as Pride Month in youtube

Strap in, its about to begin. Also, if you look back at young Shanks and Buggy arguing about the north and south pole back in Buggy's introduction, you'll see in the Anime they didn't quite draw Rayleigh right but had elements of his character design, while in the manga even though its a weird angle it's unmistakably young Rayleigh.

46:18 THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING LIKE- I literally said that she ate the birth-birth-fruit out of joke a minute before you said that lmaooo

Guess you forgot that there's not one, but three doors of justice, with a whirlpool current in between the three.

Alicia: "We're skipping the filler [...] I don't mind if it's inbetween 2 arcs but we're in the middle of the hottest part of the arc." Yeaaah, about that... It IS inbetween two arcs... You're describing the entire SAGA as one arc.

What if Ace's Mom had a devil fruit? Maybe a Wallaby-Wallaby no mi? Personal theory; there are several examples of mammals that can be successfully fertilized, but then the embryo may enter a state of stasis until the environmental conditions trigger a hormonal response in the mother to induce the gestation process to continue.

You know,the funny thing is that ace wasnt planned to be roger son. The entire story of how it came to be is straight up oda asking his editor "hey could you imagine if ace was roger son?" And his editor had a reaction that he liked so much to the point he decided to go with it. Thats quite literally the entire reason and this was done like before the chapter of the reveal so im not sure if you can say you got it right since it wasnt planned.

for some reason the subs on a previous episode didn't show it but on the list for the human shop it listed minks, long neck tribe, long arm tribe, and the long leg tribe along with the mermaids fishmen and giants

ace is also older than luffy so even without the muther holding ace from birth for 20 months it makes sence timewise

Scratchman Apoo the Roar of the sea is a longarm human btw

"I hope we see more flashbacks of Ace & Luffy together." >_>...

Timestamp 47:20.....The PLOT TWIST IS CRAZY....Ace is Gold Roger's son......When people read this in the manga they went NUTTS 🤣🤣🤣

If we learned anything about old people in anime....is that THEY ARE STRONG.😁😁😁😁

Marineford Month! Let's gooooooooooo! From 460 to 489 or 490 epicness will be witnessed. I can't wait to see the reactions.

Oh Alicia you're not ready for that Luffy flashback, none of us were.

This is one of those episodes that really makes me believe in the theory that the reason Zoro is so bad at directions is that is the curse from the one cursed sword he got in Loguetown. Like, there is no way someone is NATURALLY that bad at directions, it has to be influenced by something extra ordinary.

On top of his lack of direction, Zoro has a tendency to completely ignore stairs. It might be a subconscious thing due to Kuina's death.

I think people like that one npc in the episode always forget one thing; old people in anime are often overpowered monsters. Mess with them and you're finished That, or old per*erts, somtimes even both. For Whitebeard; he's an old pirate and usually, being a pirat is dangerous and you'd die young. Him getting that old was no coincidence and those who know the Marineford arc have seen how much of a goat he is. Can't wait for Alicia's reactios

This man wants to challenge a warlord and an emperor, but he gets shook from the sound of Luffy's punch! 🤭🙄

0:31 Well, it IS between arcs. Impel Down arc ended and Marineford arc starts at this point, so they DID put those episode in between arcs.

The best arc in One Piece has arrived finally!

31:29 bodies have already been caught in Impel Down

"normally when we go to an arc there's always that on mofo that Luffy has to punch." Hmmm... I wonder who'd that be? 😅

Zoro suffered so must brain damage from being thrown around by Luffy that he can’t even walk in a straight line
