Episode 1089. Loved the new opening. Despite our faves (apart from Straw Hats) almost keeling over (one more frame and!), I'm taking hope from the fact that they're in the opening.
I'll be chilling and then I'll remember the way Nico Robin screamed "I want to live" and then oopsie I'm on the floor sobbing, completely overcome by hope
erasing history to rule the world, a toxic concept of justice, greed and thirst for power, wanting to be a god, usurping the throne of a reign..
one piece has an incredibly huge variety of reasons why certain characters are the villains in the story. It's a world populated by characters who live their own life and are not just there so represent an obstacle for the protagonists in their journey, and that's what makes it so interesting: no one is the same, and everyone has a different set of aspirations.
but whenever blackbeard appears, you are suddenly reminded one piece is a story about pirates.
