#drum kingdom
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…

this line should be in that last post, but it deserves its own. even if you're not really trying to be aware of murican politics, this is an applicable reaction for at least 5 things every day

Wapol’s Doctor Hunt Was Based On The Soviet Union Rather Than  A Commentary On Private Healthcare
Tumblr media Tumblr media
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctors%27_plot
Despite what many people say, it’s more closer to the Doctor’s Plot which happened in the Soviet union under Stalin who ordered the arrest, dismissal, and of Jewish doctors due to a (bullshit) conspiracy that they were out to get them. And after he died, the new leaders declared it was a fabrication. But again it shows the scary hold a ruler can have on a country if he has total power and answers to no one. And again sees his subjects as toys to play with.

Simon probably stays clean shaven cause excessive facial hair probably reminds him of how the crown gave him that massive beard and being Ice King in general.

i think theres something to be said for the vibes of certain arcs in one piece. not every arc has this clarity of being- but some of them do.
drum kingdom is the only one ive really talked about here, it tastes a bit like hot cocoa. it is the feeling of being sick in the middle of the night while whoever your person is makes you hot tea. its christmas, sure, but it's also everything that comes with that. family, pajamas, the feeling of cold air. it can be uncomfortable, too. just like christmas. the sequence where luffy climbs the drum is something i can never personally look directly at and its a scene that makes me as uncomfortable as possible. drum kingdom is the new year.
water 7 is the feeling you get in the moment just before you're mad. that pause and realization. its a liminal space, where both every emotion exists at once and no emotions exist at all. it's the feeling of being profoundly uncomfortable. like music you can't hear enough to fully enjoy. its repression. its the process of getting worse. its not just bad, moreso in a perpetual state of transition. it feels like spiralling. it feels like all your friends are in a fight and you just have to sit there listening. its intimate interpersonal discomfort. it feels like shit in a way that is so profoundly close to something you've personally experienced that it'll remind you of that and then you have to sit with it. no resolution . it's falling with the knowledge that either your close person pushed you off or it's your fault.

one piece coming for capitalism/murican bullshit again but this time specifically healthcare.
also the dickhead ruler that made things this way is named wapol, so i guess oda is not only a leftist but also a time traveler and he knew one of the worst examples of capitalism was eventually going to buy the washington post.
oh shit, is oda the doctor. wow like. the "british people's one piece" meme runs deeper than it was intended to.
(for people who dgaf about one piece like, oda is the manga author, not a character)
