<3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.
That is some sad shit man. Make a brotha cry.
Great episode. It seems odd to me that I really enjoyed the 3 part flashback more then most of the Arc itself it did a great job of connecting all the loose ends and really making the story have a lot more meaning.
I still find calling the Tree's gods a bit questionable in the previous episode and I find it odd they they managed to dispose of those giant infected tree's without anyone noticing until after the fact.
man.. that was sad, Norland being call a liar even when his own old crew said that it was not a lie...
It was an interesting, and sad, flashback arc. The Norland history doesn't actually have any concrete meaning to the events occuring in Luffy's timeline, indeed, everything would make pretty much sense even if we had never learnt about Norland. However, it really makes a strong background story to the setting and many characters and the situation in general.
There was one thing that doesn't make much sense though: It was 100% obvious the king wanted to rob all the gold from Shandria, made even more evident by the fact he filled the ship with his soldiers. Yet Norland took that invasion force willingly to the island of his friend. Past actions had proven Norland wasn't gullible, so why did he agree to take the king there?
If he had refused to take the king to the island, they might have taken it as a sign the island didn't actually exist, but probably wouldn't have executed him for that.
