Like tequila or with a gun? Bc it could go either way.
Law in film red is just an annoyed dad at Disney World trying to keep his kids from burning the place down. Like he dead ass tells Luffy “shut up you’re in time out” 💀 he needs a shot
Okay but Jimbei is like, an old pirate. Joining the Strawhats is basically his retirement job. He’s like “ugh man I’ve been doing all this political maneuvering for decades it’s so exhausting” and Luffy pops up like “wow lame wanna join my Funtime crew instead? I’ll let you punch whoever you want” and Jimbei’s like yeah. I do want that actually.
I love (and am actively ill over) the fact that ace canonically will not shut up about his lil guy. when jinbe found out ace’s brother was in impel down he was like OHHHHH LUFFY the kid in the strawhats you’re ALWAYS talking about. to luffy’s face he’s like “punk ass” but to everyone else he’s handing out school pictures from his wallet
God, Drum Kingdom though… the way it challenges our heroes in ways no other arc does. Because Wapol is a pretty weak villain, both physically and ideologically, and there’s never any doubt Luffy can beat him, but the true antagonists of the story are the environment and illness, which no person can escape… Luffy being forced for the first time to restrain himself and consider how his recklessness can hurt the people he cares about… The brutal and unforgiving condemnation of the privatization of healthcare… Luffy fucking climbing that sheer-ass, miles-high cliff bare handed, carrying Sanji with his fucking TEETH… AND FALLING… the way that when the world around you is cruel and harsh the only way of surviving is through compassion for the people around you…
