One Piece 653
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man, Violet sure would make a great Lookout for a Pirate crew.
If the guys on the ship get fucked over again, it's totally Nami's fault. It's just goddamn stupid of her to screw around trying to get one of the Fruit-eaters to handle the goddamn seastone cuffs.
Man, either I missed that big reveal of DoFlamingo's in the manga, or I forgot it. I knew he was supposed to be a descendant of the tenryuubito, but it didn't register to me that his ancestor was the original king of Dressrosa that united under the World Government and relocated to Marijois.
So, I can't remember, is the Void Century before or AFTER this founding of the WG?

Nonsense. Brook is totally a badass.Quote:

Nah, he was only pretending to be an artist sharing the hag's artistic sense. Obviously in reality they were lightyears apart. Brook is a rocking musician, the hag was... Dunno, a hypocritical expressionist or something. Fighting isn't the point for Brook, even if he can do it really well. Though he does even that rather artistically, if you think about it, and for example compare his sword fights with Zoro's.Quote:

The Strawhats break down into two groups of people. Those you can fight, and don't mind it, and those who can fight, but never want to.
Brook does not belong in the latter group with Nami, Usopp and Chopper. He's a legitimate badass who has no problem throwing down, even though, like Robin, he doesn't have any particular interest in it.
