![]() ![]() Arezou is passionate about Star Wars, particularly Obi-Wan Kenobi, Fennec Shand, and the Sequel Trilogy. She has a wide-ranging knowledge of movies and TV, which means she almost certainly will start quoting something mid-conversation. But for now, their sails are set, and the Straw Hats are Grand Line-bound!Īrezou is a writer and news editor for Collider. Whether we'll get the chance to see the live-action crew take on this new challenge, and all that comes with it remains to be seen. That man, as fans of the Manga and anime can guess, is the head of Baroque Works himself, Mr. Just as the episode ends, a short stinger shows a man shrouded in cigar smoke setting Luffy's wanted poster on fire. The season even ends with a tease ahead at a potential second season. But if future seasons can achieve what this first one managed to do so well, condensing storylines and distilling them down to their heart, while expanding the opportunities for characters to play off of each other, and explore different group dynamics, then there's no reason we shouldn't have at least a few seasons of a tight, self-contained adventure series. Of course, I have hopes for a second season and beyond - as much as I know 1000+ episodes in live-action are unrealistic. Now that the core ensemble is so well established, hopefully future seasons will bring more screentime for other groups besides the Straw Hats and the Marines.Īfter such an action-packed season, it's almost a relief to see the finale slow down and take its time wrapping everything up so neatly, and so thoroughly. ![]() Dracule Mihawk ( Steven Ward) also brings word of Luffy's newfound success to Captain Shanks ( Peter Gadiot) and his crew, who force Mihawk into celebrating with them, and at this point I'm just realizing it's a damn shame we didn't get more of either Shanks' crew or of Mihawk, but hope springs eternal. A future showdown with all the pirates they wronged in their early days would certainly make for interesting drama. Buggy and Alvida ( Ilia Isorelýs Paulino) get their hands on a poster and join forces to try and track Luffy down to claim the reward, making me wonder if anyone managed to find Captain Kuro ( Alexander Maniatis) out there in the ocean after escaping Syrup Village. ![]() Word of the Straw Hat crews notoriety reaches far and wide, to Luffy's village and even to Kaya ( Celeste Loots) catching sight of the back of Usopp's head on Luffy's poster. Back on his ship, Garp decides to take both Koby and Helmeppo under his wing, a prospect they both accept. The pair part ways, knowing they'll well and truly be on opposite sides from here on out. Koby comes to say goodbye to Luffy as well, and shows him that while he hasn't achieved his dream of finding the One Piece yet, a smaller dream of his has come true: he presents Luffy with his very own wanted poster, setting his bounty at 30 million Berry, the highest in the East Blue. Just before the Straw Hats return to sea, Nami visits Belle-Mere's ( Genna Galloway) grave to apologize, and say goodbye to Nojiko ( Chioma Umeala) as well, all while sporting her new arm tattoo, now in the shape of a tangerine plant. He orders Koby to arrest the Straw Hats, but the cadet refuses, Helmeppo ( Aidan Scott) surprising him, and the audience by also refusing to step in. But because Garp never met a sweet moment between the crew he didn't want to crash, the Marines arrive just in time to ruin things. With the fishmen defeated, Nami and the rest of Coco Village are finally free, and the crew kicks back to celebrate. Their unofficial rivalry comes to an end when they take out the yard of fishmen together, ending with Zoro's begrudging admission that in Sanji calling out his finishing moves like Luffy does, perhaps the chef will fit in with the crew just fine.Īs for Luffy and Arlong, the two fight in the map room until Luffy brings the entire thing crumbling down around them crushing Arlong in the process. As for Zoro and Sanji, the two spend as much time arguing as they do fighting, something that annoys Buggy enough that he asks them to reunite his head with his body so he can help, by which he of course means run away and leave them to their own devices. ![]()
