Can you believe this little thing felt like he was his best friend's shadow and gave up on his dream because Shanks shone brighter than him? Can you believe he spent his childhood staring at his best friend from a distance because he thought he couldn't reach the stars by himself? Can you believe his dream was taken away from him and he lost his ability to swim and his love for the sea when he was just a child?

Does Brook even know that the One Piece is a treasure? Like, he died before Roger even became a famous pirate, and the One Piece (and being the Pirate King) only became a thing after Roger's execution. For all Brook knows, One Piece could be the name of an island full of pirates, like Hachinosu, that Luffy is trying to find so he can become the king of this place, and therefore, the King of the Pirates, or something like that

Happy Birthday Fukuzawa Yukichi-sensei!

To celebrate Fukuzawa Yukichi’s birthday here are his top three quotes from my blog:

Quote #3:

Men are neither devils nor serpents. They are not out to harm you. Let us receive people in a natural way, with true and open minds.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, An Encouragement of Learning

Quote #2:

Being educated does not mean knowing strange words or reading ancient and difficult literature or enjoying poetry and writing verse and other such accomplishments which are of no practical use in this world. These accomplishments do give much pleasure to the human mind, and they have their own values, but they are not to be esteemed and worshiped as much as the usual run of scholars have tried to make them out to be…. Therefore, this kind of learning without real use should be left for another day, and one’s best efforts should be given to an education that is relevant to everyday use.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, “Encouragement of Learning I” from Fukuzawa Yukichi on Education

Quote #1:

It is easy to find fault with and complain about all things in society, but it is very difficult to find remedies for these faults.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, “Methods of Bookkeeping” from Fukuzawa Yukichi on Education

Controversial Opinion.

The One Piece Anti's are actually CORRECT about One Piece having a bunch of overly-convenient powers being held by ladies, lately.

And I love it.

I love Tama and her ability to mind control literally ALL of Kaido's gifters, making her an unexpectedly central part of the protagonists' victory.

I love Jewelry Bonney and her ability to imitate Gear Five Luffy and help turn the tide of the current arc, and also control all Kuma-Fistas

I love Boa Hancock having just the right mix of powers and attractiveness that lets her Insta-KO entire armies, as well as some of the setting's most powerful characters.

Hell, if they're doing what I think they're doing with Catarina Devon, I even love that.

Powerful Mary-Sue-ish Ladies Sweep!

If Kunikida comes back (which I hope he does), I think it might have something to do with the book, more specifically the page that was with Fukuchi before he died. We don't know what happened to the page after the divine being's appearance, but if it hasn't, I don't know, disappeared, it could still be used to reverse the damage caused by the divine being, perhaps even bringing back those who were killed by it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NIKOLAAAIII!!

After everything that happened in this arc, I think we can all agree that Fyodor is the BIGGEST Atsushi hater of all time
