A small detail to make Whitebeard even more of a Gigachad: In the Anime, it's shown how Akainu blows off half od Whitebeard's beard before being struck back with a punch that pretty much changes the structure of his face. But in the Manga, he actually burns off like 1/3 of Whitebeard's head. This absolute Gigachad did all of that with a chunk of his brain literally burned off.

The reason those admirals don't blow everything to smithereens in that battle, is probably because it all happens at Marineford, their home turf. I wouldn't want to blast my own backyard to bits either...

the ace rant was hilarious, mans really had no self control

can’t wait for the fishman island video

33:42 Ace admittedly fucked up, but after going back over it, I don't think it was as bad as the memes make it out to be. With the context of flashbacks, Ace definitely had some unresolved trauma about his own self-worth. It's less about Akainu talking shit/Ace getting baited, and more about how frustrating it is to try and reach someone who doesn't believe they're worth saving.

There's a MelonTree video that just came out about Ace's death that I think will give you a different perspective on Ace's death, because even initially I thought he was an idiot too. To me Ace's priority was never really survive, but to protect people he loved and prove he was worth loving, like his final words allude to yk. ALSO THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR LATER IN THE SERIES IN THERE MY BAD.

I think Nico Robin is meant to be russian so her original tan was from her being in alabasta (keep in mind the pre timeskip period is a few months) and the whiter skin after was because she was in a winter island. As for the bazongas.... marketing

As an old time one piece fan i would like to say that oda is actually not as opposed to royalty, hes against unbeholdened royalty. He writes good kings like cobra and dalton to show that a king who is of the people are examples of acceptable monarchy. But overall his politics is revolutionary but it always is justified when a seat of power is dismantled by the people. Or sometimes its a psyop (think crocodile dance powder) Keep the replies to before marineford aight guys

In Japan, any kind of facial hair is considered a “beard”, so a mustache can be a beard

"You died to a taunt. You got talk no jutsued into your own death." This had me fucking screaming in the kitchen just now, I'm wheezing!!!

The irl example of what warlords are: Privateers. Pirates hired by the government in exchange for freedom and a halt on them being arrested. So Doflamingo would have a monstrous bounty way higher than before once the warlord system was removed. As would everyone else. But I mention Doffy specifically for very apparent reasons once you get to that arc.

The thing about Impel Down that people tend to forget is that whole sequence only takes Luffy between 6-8 hours. Can't wait for you to meet Dragon if you haven't yet.

If I was in the One Piece universe I would probably like to be a veterinarian for snails 😌 Thanks for the video

Hey Conure! Ace did not die, because Akainu insulted Whitebeard, but because Luffy was behind him and Ace had no but his Brother and Whitebeard to accept him as he was, in a world in which his existance was disliked by literally everyone! If you are interested in a more in depth explanation for Aces decision at Marineford I recommend you and everyone else watching MelonTeees Video on Ace, it is really good! The Video is called: Ace and Worth

I thought ACAB meant assigned cat at birth, for way too long before finding out what it really meant.

Oda isnt anti or pro monarch. He's pro good ruler and anti bad ruler

Please read the manga you're missing out on the cover stories I've been conditioned because when you said "rat", I immediately thought Shanks and not Teach

I'm VERY interested in your Dressrosa video later this year.

51:32 It’s revealed in the next arc that Whitebeard just unconditionally protected people and other people in his position are much worse

So I've got a personal theory about Blackbeard. We've always wondered why he can absorb other Devil Fruit powers..... - What if it's NOT a Logia Fruit? What if the Devil Fruit encyclopedia entry is wrong and it's actually some literal Demon Zoan Fruit that just grants him the ability to control darkness as a passive thing? We know Mythical Zoans exist. Marco has Logia abilities as a Phoenix, and Blackbeard's supposed Logia abilities clearly doesn't allow him to turn INTO darkness unlike other Logia powers. Maybe Blackbeard somehow knew about what the Darkness Fruit actually was and that's the why he was so much more than other people did? Maybe having a "Demon" Fruit gives you dominion over the other Devil Fruits you eat?

I think the character that’s incompetence makes me really angry was Garp who btw is supposed to be Aces father figure

Kids: READ THE MANGA! It's way better than the anime. My oldest son read the whole thing when he was 8 and English isn't even his first language. You can switch to the Anime around Wano when the animation style improves.

Damn conure, I'm enjoying these One Piece videos a lot, as a new fan of the series myself (I started watching it in November).

When it comes to Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru their performance in the war is less due to incompetence and more... lack of unity. Kizaru is a big unknown, but we've seen a bunch of Akainu and Aokiji. Aokiji is the "trying to do good from inside a bad system" guy, kinda like Garp and Akainu is the zealous dog of the WG, embodying their so called "absolute justice". You're completely right in saying that if all 3 of them worked together and gave 100 percent, the war would've looked very different.

A quick thought about One Piece and monarchies: Personally, in the series, I think that the “king” is used more as an allegory for “head of state. We have to remember that this is, first and foremost, a fantasy series in a fantasy world. If there were a lengthy election period after Luffy defeats the bad guy, that would be dull and slow. Kings are an easy way to keep things moving and just add that more “fantasy” air to it. That said, carrying on the allegory, the three or four “good” monarchs are either de facto elected, or beloved by the people. Cobra and Riku were seen to always prioritise the welfare of citizens over themselves, and even mingle freely with their people. Plus, post-timeskip, in a cover story we see that Cobra has formed a sort of political cabinet, with Koza as minister for the environment. Dalton and Kuma were quite literally chosen by their constituents to be the head of state, even without them having any blood relation to the previous rulers at all. Again, this feels more like an elected president. The only one who seemed to be installed without any prior consent is Momonosuke. However, we do see him being cheered and backed by most people in the first act of Wano (when they’re all gathering intelligence) All this to say that it’s made clear that the best leaders represent their constituents interests and are popular and even chosen by them. Just because they are “monarchs” in title, doesn’t make them any less a stand-in for an elected official.

Robin actually was lighter skinned in the manga cover pages from the first but the anime made her tanned for some reason.

Marines have 正義 written on their Coat Capes. This basically indicates they are force of Justice whose duty is to protect people from criminals in the one piece who are obviously Pirates. But as the show goes, we find out that main duty of the Marines is protect the authority of the World Government and maintain the status quo, so that no one threatens the world government. In our world, we believe that the police and military exist to protect the common man from evil, but their actions show us thay they are just tools employed by the government to protect their order and authority.

Acab doesn’t quite explain the World Government, though. It’s more like a reverse “a few bad apples spoil the bunch” kind of scenario. There are a few good apples who are trying to crack open the rotten egg from the inside.

42:26 Whitebeard is actually even more narly in the manga. In the manga, half of his head gets blown up lol it’s epic af

“ results may vary” emphasis on vary

Been saying AMAB in the OP community since 2020 and it's felt so lonely.

26:50 tbf on that one, it was cuz garp helped in keeping rouge out of the government eye. If it wasn't for that, ace might have been killed too. Not to mention her sheer fucking will in keeping ace in her belly for 20 months. But yeah, countless women were killed just due to an off chance that they were Roger's lover and countless babies were killed cuz they _might_ have been roger's child.

the thing with Robin is she is simply a white woman who had spent several years in the desert. She spends two years away from that and of course she looses the tan.

The One Piece is literally real 🏴‍☠🦜

I like how Coby both demonstrates the necessity of some sort of law enforcement and also the corruption that exists. Coby is "one of the good ones" by directly disobeying the orders of the higher ups who want to protect their own interests more than protecting the people. Even though he's a "good marine" it's pretty explicit from Garp who calls him the "future of the marines" that the entire system needs to be re-worked from the roots. There's a lot of conflict between Coby, who a marine SHOULD be (someone who protects people from criminals) and Akainu the other admirals who exemplify who the marines actually are, (a system that exists to preserve the status quo). Multiple times a higher ranking official is orders to protect the aristocracy even if innocent civilians have to die, and Coby is always shown trying to protect civilians. By calling Coby the "future of the marines," it's also sorta implies that if if Coby ever gives up on his dreams, or the system doesn't change to be more like him, then the marines have no future.

The exact sturcture of the WG is a little vague, but the governing side is the assembly of the kings affiliated and whatever beurocrats the Celestial Dragons have (not even clear if they have any so far it seems they're just in debauchery mode 24/7), and the military side is made of the Marines, Cipher Pol 1-9 who are inteligence agents and the Impell Down staff. All, ALL of this is presided over by the 5 Elders, the Gorosei.

Honestly, One Piece does have its problems for sure, including it’s seemingly decent but long troubled relationship with its female characters (given when it started and being one of the first generation big 3 of Shounen), but I do still love this show, I’m just not sure later arcs will surpass or even match pre timeskip sense of awe and grounded wonder for me. But that aside, speak, Conure! Bequeath unto us your burning wisdom!!

10:49 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN THE CURRENT ARC KIZARU IS INCREDIBLE MAN

Thank you. I’ve been waiting for someone to tie the politics in our world to the politics in one piece. The One Piece KZfaq community doesn’t really go into the politics that much.

Quick comment at the beginning of the video, but it's a common regret in the One Piece fandom that we didn't take it skowly. I'm glad you omly watch 2 episodes a day. You'll catch up when you catch up. Savor the ride, honey lol

i love this series so much

Yeah I got past the 1080’s so trust you about to learn a lot more about Blackbeard

Blackbeard honestly has the best introductions in all of the anime as a baddie, he just seemed like a random dude, but the rivarly was established quickly, then he does something whihc personally affected luffy and love how he was presented as the inverse of Luffy at the very start by showing them argue over cherry pies and meat, but show fundamentally their dreams and idealism is same, it's jsut that Blackbeard's perspective is just significantly more twisted than Luffy.

Kizaru's original voice actor passed away, sadly. He got replaced later, but its not that good(with all respect). He was really hillarious.

Admirals are not stupid. Even if it might look like. Take like example Kizaru vs Rayleigh on Sabaody. They could go full strength on each other, but that would destroy entire Island, so they are just messing around pretending they are fighting. Same is true for Whitebeard. He was old and sick, but, he still had power to destroy entire fort, if he wanted. Fighting him full strength would cost countless lives. When Shanks show up and threaten them he will join the fight if they dont stop, its enough for them to give up even if they were clearly winning. We have seen only glimpses of theirs true power, but you can only see what is their real strength at Punk Hazard. They might look to be stupid, but they are holding back on purpose. And there are other reasons we dont understand yet.

someone warn conure about the Donut memes

I think people are a little unfair to Ace, I mean with the context of his backstory even the little bits that we got in Marineford we can tell than he has no self worth and he prioritize everyone else above himself. I don’t think Akainu would have stopped his intention to kill him and Luffy if Ace would have ignore him and go, Akainu would go after them and in that Luffy and everyone else would be in more danger. I don’t know if Ace actually saw that or was more of an instinct, but he stayed behind not just for the taunt. At least is what I see given the context and the meaning of his character.

Fujitora's existence makes this video irrelevant.

I love Doflamingo's speech about the subjectivity of justice, where history is written by the winners and how ages are defined by that, and Blackbeard declares it as his time. So chilling. PS. Throughout the video I was cringing at the constant bad grammar, it's the forces of the Marines, plural, not singular. Only say Marine if it's a specific character. Sorry but it just irked me more than I thought it would.

I wonder what ability conure would like to have in the one piece world

Not really spoiling anything, but an understated element of OP is how Oda initially presented the World Goverment as a counterpart to the UN and the Marine as one for the police or blue helmet only to deconstruct these two organization with the shifting focus of the story nowadays. Like, yeah, they were bad around Marineford arc, but in the latest arcs, you actually see how corrupt the system is. And this worked well, because their initial presentation made them look familiar to the audience, letting us do the job to think what they are about and what their purpose is, only for Oda to give us the juicy meat under their exterior when the story begins to actually focus on them next. (which admittedly has taken us roughly 1000 chapters/over two decades, so it was a good decision by Oda to make them look familiar, or otherwise we would have wondered so long what they're about until we'd have lost interest)

You saying Liberation over and over again made me start cracking up. You'll get it soon.

27:44 I’m not gonna get into power scaling but no the 3 admirals couldn’t just level the entirety of the white beard pirates

Just saying, the Admirals alone would've gotten fodderized by the Whitebeard Pirates, that part isn't incompetence, the incompetence part is stuff like Aokiji freezing the gate and Akainu being too distracted by being angry and killing his allies to fix that in time.

I also don't think they were before luffy but were behind the son of Dragon!

Nico Robin having a darker skin tone was a mistake on the animes part, they just corrected it post-timeskip. My headcanon is that she got a tan while spending years in Alabasta and it faded over time. And yeah, when it comes to body proportions, the anime can be quite nonsense.

Marines are a pretty good cop metaphor. Like ther eis clear nuance while , marines overally are a tool for the government. Hell, Marinefort garp is the good cop , garp is the good cop and still, also what hurts probably as much is that garp as rogers confidant his ace and gave him to mountain bandits to raise, dadan best mom by the way. Also kizaru is the best XD i love how he is really powerful and trolling and very entertaining.

🤓☝️Calling Ace stupid, I never got that because he fought Akainu because he was protecting Luffy! And he literally says to dadan in his flashback that he cannot run away because he might lose his loved ones!?

You should watch the movies at some point as well! Theyre all really really solid (All the Oda written ones anyway. And Baron Omatsuri), especially Film Red!

Hey. Don't pull my precious little Koby into this. Yes he is stupid for joining the marines to push for justice but now he is rebelling with the "Sword" group

I also hope you meantion that a big reason why the marines are exposed a bit, is buggy livestreaming the whole event. Dunno how that could be relevant to anything. The world wasnt supposed to get any report and buggy, did.

Since you're using a filler list I do want to say to check out the G-8 arc if you haven't yet. It starts at episode 196 and is unironically one of the best arcs in the early one piece anime. Of course if you want to skip it then that's fine, I'm no elitist. Just wanting to at least mention it since it's one ofy favorite arcs.

I love One Piece, don't apologize for posting more content 😂

for these One Piece arc rants why didn't conure start with Ennies Lobby n Cipher Pol?

so if i were to get a start on one piece where should i go to watch it?

One Piece is really progressive and good. It's so weird that the good messages go over people's heads

“Marineford” and “the marines”, not “marinefort” or “the marine”, otherwise great analysis and you looked v cute doing it. ☮️❤️

I think the problem with the police and people not trusting them is more an issue of people looking at the worst of all things most often then not and then applying it to all of them is like if give you a bag of apples and one of those apples is poison yes the rest of them are normal apples they will be great but because there is one poison one you now don't trust in the entire bag of apples. In the One Piece world this is show too for every Morgan,Spandam and Akainu we have several people like Smoker,Tashigi,Coby,Garp and Aokiji who have shown protecting the people and doing the right thing to protect them like we as spectators we feel angry at Garp for not trying to help Ace but he know his grandson is a criminal and he needs to be as impartial as possible with this situation.

I would argue that Oda doesn't have a problem with royalty or hierarchy. Rather he has a problem with who has the power and how the hierarchy functions.

23:04 "they look like fascists" oh boy, do i get to tell conure about the hitler salute they do in the opening for that section of the anime? because yeah, the vice warden and some troops do the hitler salute in that opening. one piece is many things, subtle is rarely one of them.

Finish the video have some issues yes the marines failed to kill roger son they weren't incompetent they did their job and seeing if anyone had roger kid but rouge (Roger wife) is such a gigachad held it in more than you possibly can. I can't blame the marines when rouge did superhuman type feats. The admirals being "incompetent" I disagree it just shows how impressive the whitebeard commanders are if someone like marco,jozu can stall a admiral for a period of time that's praise. A small nitpick the marines did do a check on blackbeard but it came up that he was a no name pirate so either blackbeard or someone on the crew change blackbeard involvement to the whitebeard pirates. Garp and sengoku were fighting against blackbeard and crew admirals have to take out all rest of wb crew because if they survived shows marines being incompetent that a pirate crew can escape a marine headquarter alive.

I never watched it but my 12 yo has been and its really good.

Fine fuck it y'all win I'll download the damn thing and start this epic journey what is it now 1,000 episodes? It's DBZ all over again. (Maybe not plot wise but in length and girth.) Love the content Connor and I will genuinely give this series a shot I liked the Manga when I read Jump in highschool.

Fishman Island video is gonna go crazy Also this isnt a bit this isnt a joke Ivankov uses Neo Pronouns they use "Vi/Vey" because they are Ivankov

Aokiji and Kizaru are glorious bastard types. Fucking hate lava dog tho.

To say Oda hates royalty is pretty disingenious. There's stuff later, but even from what Im sure you've seen, there's royalty like that of Alabasata and Dalton, who are good and heavily portrayed as such. It's less than royalty = bad, but that imposed royalty without the approval of its people is generally bad. Even then, royalty itself isn't the issue, its the power without restriction or oversight, which is the gateway to evil, and separation from one's subjects that is the issue.

Nico Robin being tan was a mistake in Anime, as Oda always intended her to be pale. He was going for slavic white woman vibe, and Anime just gave her tan for no reason despite there already being official colours for her in colour spreads.

Tbh One Piece fillers are great though! Please don't skip it

Yeah you're a big fan. Welcome

Oda seems anti-authority, but in the story monarchs are still portrayed as good rulers, that lacked the means to defend their nations against bad people. So they lacked military or strategic might but are still good people.

feed luffy meat. or be weird and quirky /Idealist/has been treated not too well. Luffy is your friend. Luffy liberated a island from a "God", just because he wanted to ring a bell and tell an old dude his ancestor wasn't a liar. Shandians? a displaced people group who try desperately to get their ancestors home back? Which coincidentaly is the source of life where this island is now. Dirt being more valuable than gold. Who gives a shit! BELL! And that is luffy in a nutshell.

One Piece is the GOAT

Since we're deep in spoiler territory already at least for that arc, mind you while in the subject of the admirals(mainly akainu) being pieces of shit. During the war you get to see good boy Koby who is unironically one of the very few good marines who while very naíve does want to help people as a marine and Luffy fully endorses Koby to doing this. We see Koby trying to run from the war because he thinks its too much and is getting to him mentally he finds akainu grabbing and killing two other marine soilders, people who are on his side. And at the end of the war it takes Koby yelling at everyone to stop and that they already won and there's no need to continue the mindless bloodshed just because they can along with shanks one of the four emperor's who even the world government don't wanna touch for the most part to show up to marineford and telling them to stop aswell and that he agrees with Koby after protecting Koby from almost being killed by Akainu because he dared to look up and say no. The marines really suck though there are some "good guys" within it, aforementioned Koby, smoker, garp, tushigi, and to somewhat a lesser extend sengoku who actually agrees with shanks that they should stop the fight and just take the wins they already had.

I always find trying to bend one piece into American modern social political ideals goes terribly wrong and inconsistent when it’s just not that at all. It’s much more complex and self contained than can be applied to modern America. There are general ideas that are present in one piece but they don’t put weight left, right, authoritarian, or libertarian, they’re scattered all over because Oda has nuance. One of the core messages is that not all people in certain group are inherently bad or good. Not all marines are good, not all pirates are bad etc

One Piece is just amazing

Hi, I just found your channel, and I would like to ask what pronouns I should use for you?

Akainu aka krakatoa is a pretty good villain. I loke even the small touches that he gets owned by hald dead whitebeard, th only hit he getsa on him is cowardly , and how he is the worst, which is good making him really hatable.- Yeag screw blackbeard but akainu, way more hatable. Also kizaru is dicking around but yeah he doe shis job and not being a zealot, he is fun ok.

During the Punk Hazard arc, a mad scientist kidnapped children & got them addicted to drugs all for a science experiment that would result in said kids' deaths. The Marines knew & didn't care. Also, the Marines hunted down Fisher Tiger for the crime of "stealing property" aka freeing slaves.

Robin's skin colour was changed because she is meant to be coded Russian. Though this kinda doesn't make sense for characters like Usopp who are meant to be coded South African, but also South Africa has a large white population through the dutch and the English and obv they had the whole apartheid. So it could be argued that Usopp's skin colour being light is also reasonable. Anyway, the anime kinda just took liberties with skin colour at the start, they made them lighter in skin tone because that's how the manga intended it, the anime did it incorrectly at the beginning.

I was listening and misunderstood what Conure meant when they said they demelaninated Nico Robin. I thought they said they demelonated her and I thought it was a really weird way to describe breast reduction but also strange for Conure to bemoan the loss of the booba since they don't seem like the kinda person to care much about boobers

I am enjoying these One Piece vids but bruh can you say marineS please with an S? You keep talking about "The Marine" and I'm like "OH YEAH? WHICH ONE?"

what

Your mischaracterizing Oda and his ideas behind these groups. Oda showcases the good and the bad of every group, well most groups. We are still waiting on the good of the celestial dragons, but I doubt it will come. He shows good and bad pirates, for every strawhat crew there is Blackbeard crew. For every whopple there is a nefratari. For every garp there is an Akainu. Oda wants to draw interesting things, you may need to learn more.

The great mayority of what the police do is a good thing. They do protect, they do assist, they bring order. You said it well. They are "seen" as bad, but they are not. Police are a deterrent for criminals to do crime at a high scale. If you want imediate security for your home, you buy a gun. Police have never been more just is history, their body cams have make their abuse the lowest in all history. Whatever bad you think police have done, they have done 10 time more good, you just are informed of the bad cases, and only see the flaws of a working system. Please get out of your house, and interact with the real world. If you are going to comment about it, at least...

ACAB has always been a bad title. Koby existing shows this to be the case in a OP context and it occurs in the real world too.

Oda is very much pro Freedom, but i feel like you're leaning too much into anti law enforcement angle too much. There is a reason why Marines and World Government are separate. Also, Oda's views have changed over last two decades a lot, but even during early times Oda knew the institution itself is important. Also, One Piece pretty much demonstrated that no form of government is perfect or even correct. We have few good kings, but multiple bad kings. We have good democracy and how it can be steered into bad directions from the inside. We are being shown that pirates as people who affirmative their own personal freedom can be good and bad. Blackbeard is very much an direct opposite to Luffy. Both are driven by same ideology and desires, but one is simply evil, while other is good. Same with Marines. Very first miniarc was about good marines being lead by evil bastard. In reality whole One Piece can be reduced to that arc politically wise. If anything, One Piece is about the corruption that ruins anything it touches. It festers and quickly outgrows whatever it infests. And it takes inhumane amount of virtue to not allow it to take root. Garp and Koby are like that. I could even argue that Akainu was like that as well. He is brutal and violent, willing to take things too far, but he's not doing so because he has power, he's doing so out of duty: "We're nuking whole island, we must sink ships with refugees because if even one historian survives, this whole brutality was pointless." And really, that's pretty solid reason. Really brutal and heartless, but for the greater good of the population of the word, that is the best choice. And now that guy has reached total control over the Marines, and ironically has the least amount of agency he has ever had. Every time we see him, he's frustrated he can't do anything about anything. That's really interesting angle to take. Also, ACAB in its most radical version is pretty irresponsible. What's the end point?

I agree with your argument about cops although I don’t. Think all are bad but absolutely despise your way of thinking that the USA is the center of the world and that oda is only calling out the USA I think it’s ignorant that people think that way

Conure, keep your statement about blackbeard wanting to become the "king of the world" in the back of your mind, it'll become important literally 500 episodes later 😭

I've found that the more of a political radical you are, the less able you are to objectively view the world. You see your politics in everything. It's like looking at an ink spot and seeing a butterfly. That's the problem with this video. He sees politics in One Piece that aren't there. First, this guy doesn't understand what the one piece story actually is because that only became apparent with the recent chapter of the manga. One Piece is the story of prometheus. Prometheus stole fire from the heavens and gave it to mankind, which angered the gods so he was punished. Joyboy is prometheus, the fire he stole from heaven is the eternal power of the sun and the gods that punished him are the gorosei. The gods destroyed his kingdom and set up their own rule until the time that they would develop the ability to wipe out humanity completely. In one piece, men are caught in a war between the gods and they have no power to win the war themselves. Only the intervention of the sun god can save them. One Piece expresses the lessons of the greek mythology that inspired it- the arrogance of men who intrude into the realm of the gods and the rule of the gods over man. Good and evil is the central struggle, which is why modern political theory is inadequate to analyze one piece (the concepts of good and evil don't exist in modern political theory). Our political theory says our problems are caused by man and will be resolved by man. In One Piece, the acts or institutions of men are neither the cause of the world's problems nor are they the cure. The Celestial Dragons don't have any power or influence within the world government. The world government is the rule of the gorosei. The Celestial Dragons actually have no political power at all. They have no role in government, no positions in the navy, control of no industries, or influence over the thoughts of the people.The Celestial Dragons are not the epitome of evil either. There are good Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons are the bloodlines of what were once just kings under joyboy but those kings were deceived and their heirs were enslaved and reduced to what the celestial dragons are now so that they would never rise up as kings to defy the gorosei again. The Celestial Dragons are completely out of touch with reality. They have no idea who they are. The Celestial Dragons are nothing but the facade the gorosei hide behind. The gorosei are the world government and the gorosei are gods, not celestial dragons. The Celestial dragons are pets provided with a life of wealth and ease in order to make them weak and out of touch.

These are, the loosest connections to the Anime Pirate show I've ever seen. Its Hasan's take but prolongated ❤
