Just wanna say that I appreciate the effort you put into making the time stamps for all of the videos! Thanks again!
many thanks. you're a hero of the Grand Line (and the multiverse)

One Piece fans: Correct
literally bro last review she said “i want to know about ashura” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@sshowerss8780 Ironic on multiple levels.
It's funny when she says I don't get it I need to no more. And we are like a decade ahead of her and still feeling the same lmao
@@Kavewolf1989 especially since he joined the you know what.
Sleepy navy guy.
There's a lot of beard named people in One Piece. Whitebeard, Blackbeard ect...we all get them confused from time to time >__>;
I didn't expect to see you here man!!!
Ayeee GrandLine speaking the truth
@@pattongilbert She doesn't know about that guy. Or the other fodder beard guy.
@@emperorluffy6001 Deleted my comment. Realized that it was a “spoiler.”
Including the infamous Little Beard AKA Black Leg Sanji
Merphy, this section of the story is DANGEROUS. Have someone read the comments, just in case a spoiler slips.
For real. Some comments are just out of control. Like, you can discuss future events literally anywhere else, so why ruin it for someone who's loving the same thing as you. Just let her have this amazing journey with blind eyes, like we all once had.
Okay I have decided to not mention the thing anymore.
@@ethansou Yeah I'd edit it :)
Yeah she definitely needs a comment guy
@@silver_soul "Donut." 🤣🤣
Merphy: "Luffy can't remember names"
Also Merphy: "The sleepy navy guy"
Sleepy navy guy sounds exactly like what Luffy would call Aokiji
@@rouelandrewpulma9799 sleepy ice guy
Actually kinda fits considering that out of the 3 justice types that the admirals represent (2 of them being unclear & absolute; which Oda actually is referencing from Buddhism iirc) Aokiji represents lazy justice
Merphy: "There's reading and then there's One Piece reading."
Words of a true fan.
She's too far gone.
she realized it at the perfect moment (considering what arc she is at the moment) 😏😏
@@Yaziiir I think it's the moment that more than a few people made this realization about the series to be fair.
This is so true, I started OP on 2003 when it first came to Germany, I have reread it every year since and I still find new little details
It is the most rereadable work I have ever read and the world and older arcs just become better and better
@@joshlyman7059 I 100% agree. I dont know why, but every re-read of One Piece is like a entirely new experience. You catch on more and more details every time, you understand Oda's intentions a lot better, you see everything under a new light.
That's why I'm looking forward to her re-read as much as her blind reactions
these are great! I hope you're reading the cover stories, the start of each chapter has a little picture telling stories of other characters in the world, this included coby, garp and helmeppo's story before this point (since you didn't mention it) please read them as you go along! they have fun interesting things in them^^!
this is super good advice and the cover stories work even better with rereads
yo love your work, when are you gonna do an admirals rap cypher?
She did say she’s been reading them in a previous video, but she also said that she had no idea why they were important
Coby fanboy is here😂
Yo collab when
One Piece Veterans: TELL HER
NOTHING!!!
Protect this woman from spoilers! Delete your search history so the algorithm doesn’t give you One Piece clips with HUGE SPOILERS in the title!
Don’t even ask your Twitter anything about One Piece unless it’s about past chapters!
Nothing is certainly about to happen.
Don't even ask anything about One Piece, on anywhere. There will always be those assholes who'll spoil important things regardless of the topic.
LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!!
its so refreshing to hear new fans review and theorize. :))) love itttttttt!!
@@MrRichardBoner yeah nothing happened am i right
Garp is a weird one. On one hand he's like "Ah shit, my grandson is a pirate!" and then he's like " My grandson's kicking ass! That's my boy!"
Also, that's a great shirt!
I would call his reaction as "tough love". Only closer to tough than love.
Yeah most who criticize him have the right to do so given the things he does or doesn’t do, but i feel we’re all gonna really understand him once we come to know he’s motives and ultimate goal
@@diazcarlos5319 We kinda already have an idea his intentions, I don't want to spoil so it will be cryptic,
Look at what happened to Mr Donut for being the son of certain someone and now imagine what happen to Luffy for a being a son of Dragon. Best way to keep him protected is by making sure Luffy is a high performing strong marine. If not for protagonist powers luffy would've been long dead if the government wanted it.
@@gatsu7742 Mr Donut 😂😂😂😂😭😭
@@gatsu7742 We see this with Garp himself.
SPOILER:
He disrespects the Celestial Dragons, doesn't follow orders and is genrally unruly, but gets away with it by being a supremely strong and respected figure in the Marines.
You're getting to a point of the story where most people have been spoiled so I'd recommend to stay away from the comments for a while or have someone else look over them for you and only showing you spoiler-free ones.
This.
Agreed. Stuff will get intense, and not knowing about it beforehand makes it even better
Yeah. I recall FILM CRIT HULK saying that anime fans were the most bone-headed fans he'd ever met, regarding being considerate with spoilers.
There's even another comment somewhere in this comment section that was like "I like your Ace theory! Just be ready: you're gonna cry".
Definitely agree
@@Mayeur000Donz quoting him doesn't help... please change your comment

@@zerodlaw9622 yes. Gaon cannon
This is so cute. She’s totally in the moment and just completely mesmerized by One Piece… can’t say anymore without spoiling so ✌🏾
It's pretty cool see her reactions towards some things, I won't elaborate further
It's so pure, I absolutely love it.
All I could say near the end was OOOF.
Love her reactions though XD
@@LordDTwigo Yeah. I find her Ace/Luffy prediction so sweet. Now for her reaction to you know what.
its insanely cute holy shit
Ohh, little tip if you want one: don't stop to reread just yet. There'll be a perfect spot later on for you to do it (not gonna say when or why cuz spoilers, but you'll KNOW when it happens). Read forward a while longer and then u can take ur time going back.
Bonus hint: There will be a very long wait between certain events. Stop reading when you notice that long wait.
Up!
Second this!
@@Quiem88 That's straight up the spoiler Amanda was trying to avoid XD
100% agree get to chapter 516 then re-read this story it will make the read through so much more enjoyable.
"I have so much to say about the ship"
>>Doesn't say anything about the ship.
either get cut or probably forget xD
The video is already half a hour long 😂 something had to give hahaha
There will be a point in the story that fits a "break" perfectly. That's when I would recommend re-reading One Piece. You'll unterstand when it happens :)
to be fair there are 2 points, not sure which one u mean
either points would be such a tease to stop at especially for us the watchers
because we would want her to react to the next arcs
in my opinion read all the way till you catch up
then reread it and release a video of it
this way you would have a total understanding of stuff that happened
cause i bet you right now when you see something your either going to judge it get disappointed or mad at moments that all get either explained or fleshdout later down the line
so my tip to you just keep reading
@@omarshehab8598 SPOILER WARNING:
I'm talking about the time skip. That's when One Piece took a break in real life and that's when the first part of the story was concluded. It's is literally the end of an era (both in-universe and from a meta standpoint).
I get what you mean, though, since there is stuff in "part 1" which gets recontextualized in the new world because it's One Piece. But she does want to reread the earlier parts and I doubt it will be the last time she does so.
She's reading, watching and rereading. Ladies and Gentleman,
We got her
"Horn-nose guy" - Two things about that. That's Whitebeard and that's not a horn; it's a glorious mustache!
People often get confused why White Beard is called that when he doesn't have a beard. The Japanese don't have a word for mustache or beard specifically. They have a single word that encompasses all facial hair.
Moostache
@@koatam he decided to call it a beard and no one dared to correct him about it
yes japanese word "hige" means both beard and mustache
@@XraynPR ah a true Tekking fan I see?
Fun fact: did you notice that Blackbeard (Teech) has been mentioned since Drum Island? He's the one who ravaged Chopper's island before the crew got there, and Ace went there looking for him. We then officially meet him in Jaya, and now he's actively doing stuff like fighting Ace.
She will notice it on the reread I think. She was binge reading and you don't remember every details like that. Though you start noticing when you watch/read again
You didn’t notice about Usopp’s bounty but that was another lie that Usopp told where he claimed that the bounty on Luffy’s head was actually his because the back of his head was in the picture. So of course his first bounty would be 30 Million berries the same as Luffy’s. Wait did I say Usopp, I meant Sogeking.
Nobody would ever notice that when binge reading the series for the first time... is too small of a detail
Its a pretty cool detail though!
Yaa, I would have corrected you there.
Ussop doesn't have a bounty yet, sogeking and GOD. ussop do.
I think the reason Aokiji is so invested in Robin's life is because his belief in justice, and the justice of the Marines and the World Government, died the day Ohara did. His dear friend died at his own hands protecting Robin, and the world government put a bounty on an 8 year old girl whose whole world had just been destroyed. A whole island of innocents were wiped out. Not a single thing that happened that day had anything to do with justice. And he went along with all of it. I think letting Robin get away that day is the only reason he's able to live with himself, and also why he's followed her life all these years.
I think it's also a favor to Saul
Underrated comment
Shouldn’t he be old now?
This could be very much be it,
another possibility could be that he is so invested in her to see if she becomes the danger the WG believed she could be and stop her before the worst scenario.
But after seeing what kind of crew the straw hats are and Robins intentions, it doesn't seem too likely.
Merphy: *Explains her ghost pirates theory*
Me: KISHISHISHISHISHISHISHISHISHI!!!!!
Lmao
👏👏👏
😂🤣
Oh shit i can hear the voice
Dere shi shi shi shi.
She started theorizing. She's become full fledged One Piece fan now.
Merphy, you are gonna have a great time (but cry like hell). Keep up the good work.
@ZHANMIN WANG is there anything that will spoil the story?
@ZHANMIN WANG Basically saying "you'll get emotional enough to cry" isn't really a spoiler, just a very correct statement about One Piece as a whole.
@@sleepysera Yeah, just watch her Enies Lobby video, sponsored by tissues and her therapist. She already know she's gonna cry A LOT, because she's already been crying A LOT
@@AnyMEmdq Yea :)
I think saying "you will cry" for a specific SCENE or arc could be a spoiler, but for OP as a whole? Nah, that's just par for the course :)
"When I first met Coby I didn't like him, I thought he was annoying"
That's exactly the way Luffy felt as well
That is exactly had I thought. "What a Luffy way of thinking"
The parallels between Merphy and Luffy are only getting deeper
@@chiefpurrfect8389 True I like how she can't also remember names and just goes along with how how Luffy calls them lmao
My favorite bit from this arc is when Franky is crying saying "It hurts so much!" and it seems like it's from the physical pain but actually what hurts so much is himself leaving the family behind to join the crew of his dreams 😭😭😭
Murphy: “ I’m gonna reread parts of one piece”.
One piece fans: [Lights cigarette]. First time?
haha...Sanji OP
Think she will wait until the Timeskip to do a re-read? That would be the best time but it is a little ways off.
@@somePYROMANIAC She is gonna need several re-reads, you can actually see some early suggestions of the "new magic system" rather close to the beginning. Of course by then Oda hadn't actually developed this "additional magic system", the first official glimpse is in skypia, but there are a couple of instances where you could argue there are precursive indications of said "magic system" * wink wink *
That's the One Piece effect: you start thinking you might not want to comit to this huge series and end up deciding half way that you want to do it all again. Also: I want to give you a hug.
Regarding Aokiji: I think his obsession with Robin really just boils down to what happened on Ohara. He saw his friend Saul, a deserter, and decided that he would put duty over friendship by executing him. At the same time he sees a fellow vice admiral blow up a ship full of innocent civilians in the name of "justice". Aokiji was visibly shaken by this, and later thinks to himself that the pursuit of absolute justice is madness (or something like that). So on the one hand we have Saul, a close friend of Aokiji who breaks the law in the name of justice and gives his life to save a little girl, and on the other we have the navy as a whole, which decided to destroy an entire island and a ship full of civilians in the name of justice. Those definitions of justice seem to be mutually exclusive.
At the end of the Ohara flashback you can see Aokiji struggling to come to terms with this, and it seems like he is still trying to come to terms with it in the present. I honestly think Robin is just caught up in the middle of his existential crisis and guilt. She's a symbol of both Saul's and the Navy's ideals. Aokiji has been watching her because his friend died to save a girl the Navy was trying to kill, and he is trying to figure out which brand of "justice" makes sense.
that's perfectly said..
And she’s the only person who can read poneglyphs which is pretty huge
Robin is the litmus test for whether absolute justice makes sense or not. If she is the 'devil child' that the government paints her as and truly brings about evil in the world, then absolute justice will have been proven right and necessary. But IF she brings about positive change and shows herself worthy of saul's sacrifice (spoiler, this is going to be the way it ends), then absolute justice is shown to be deeply flawed and wrong.
Very well put, hope she reads this! Additionally he knows he can trust her with the Straw Hats, they wont abuse her knowledge
Wow, very interestingly/ well worded
Please, god, no one spoil anything for this woman. I like her theories too much.
can someone tell her to not check the comments for the next couple arcs usually around these parts of one piece youtubers get hit with spoilers
The most wholesome one piece ending theory😂
And so on point too
just listening to it made my cry tears of joy
You may have missed this, but Garp mentions that Luffy already ran into his father unknowingly at Loguetown.
Saul was aokijis best friend, he let robin live as a token to his friend. But after decades and Robin not finding a stable place to stay, he saw her as a bomb waiting to explode so he thought it was time to bring her in.
Also he was not testing the crew on long island, if not for his loyalty to garp, Luffy would be dead.
But i really love how you see this story. TotallynotMarks reviews are great but he dosent go into individually great moments within the story themselves
"Oda is unpredictable"
Well, that's an understament.
"There's reading... and there's one piece reading " that's sooo true XD
She's wearing One Piece merch now, we got em' weebs.
Everything is going according to Keikaku.
[Translator Notes] Keikaku means plan.
You can't just go throw a Bleach reference out like that my man. The rabbit hole that is anime requires at least a smaller show between 2 of the big three.
@@Fro00ot0 It's a death note reference lol
Yeah Death Note first and then was later used in the fansub of Bleach as a joke or reference.
@@rikudoubapeck its also an aizen joke, guess it counts for both. makes sense in character for each lol.
@@colburn0004 Looool it's a great meme
I think terms like 'Admirals' and 'Emperors' and 'Warlords' are gonna start being important to remember here in the next few arcs, specifically being able to differentiate them and the people belonging to them
I don't think Aokiji necessarily was protecting Robin, I think it was more along the lines of observing, seeing what she did with the life Aokiji's friend Saul gave her. Eventually after 20 years of her running around without direction, jumping from group to group as a "ticking time bomb" as Aokiji put it in the translation I read, he decided she was better off dead like the rest of Ohara, that is until she found a place to genuinely settle down. I do think depending on the translation that exchange can vary significantly because it's pretty subtle. I think it's really interesting to put One Piece characters on D&D alignment charts, I'd say Aokiji is between a Lawful Good and a Lawful Neutral, while Luffy is between a Chaotic Good and a Chaotic Neutral. Also I found the narration after the Ace and Blackbeard fight to be very exciting and foreboding the first time I read it.
Oh, also I think chapter 513, the end of the Sabaody arc is the best place to stop to go back and reread the series.
@@MonkeyDLuffy-nl4cv No! It's not!
@@MR._SNAJI Listen, I'm willing to die on this hill. It is _the_ perfect time.
@@MonkeyDLuffy-nl4cv I was hoping she'd do the re-read after Thriller Bark ark. Just to spend that extra time with the Straw Hats and make everything after hit all the harder. But I am a sadist.
And now we're off to Thriller Bark, where nothing happened.... Yohohoho
💯
Best comment Iv read in a bit.
For Merphy, 3 things:
1 - please don't read the comments youself, or just read the ones more liked, that probably are spoiler-free. the plot is approaching amazing stuff, so we are hyping up for you and sometimes info slips in
2 - you theorizing it's amazing, I love it
3 - Garp is really proud of Luffy, even if he had different plans for him and they are on opposite sides. sure I wouldn't let Garp babysit anyone, but probably he was harsh with Luffy not because he was projecting to him his expectations, but because he wanted to avoid losing control of his grandson like he did with his son. I believe Garp believes to have been too soft with Dragon and now he's son is the most wanted man in the world, so Garp changed approach with the next generation to avoid repeating something like that. Maybe if Dragon did something else in his life (I don't know, the carpenter, the mailman, anything), Garp wouldn't care that much about Luffy's life choices. But this is a theory, I don't know what kind of father Garp was
You are right, who in hell will trust in Garp to raise their son *coff* *coff*
I dont think that she is reading comments, she usually hearts a lot of comments if she is reading them. There are no hearts here in this comment chain.
Really? Analyzing garp like that when he was just introduce? let her see the characters with her own eyes, we are here just to hear the review, not to "corrert her"
Delete no. 3
@@linkal6775 why, every fact in number 3 is known before Thriller Bark, and my interpretations are interpretations. Are you spoiling me there?
When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.

IF YOU INTERACT WITH MERPHY ON A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL, PLS CONVINCE HER TO *STOP* READING COMMENTS and STOP DISCUSSING OP WITH THOSE WHO HAVE CAUGHT UP. I’d hate for someone to spoil her.
you cant be in the one piece comuunity without being spoiled of marine ford and the ship
I'm only reading the most upvoted comments at this point and only a handfull of those. So far I've avoided them, maybe I just need to stop eating and sleeping so I can finish the series before any spoilers can catch me....
@@merphynapier42 You are approaching epic and important stuff. Please thread carefully around the comment section. My personal advice: Stop reading them. 😆
Maybe have someone you know and who's caught up, read the comments and only send non-spoiler comments to you.
@@merphynapier42 have someone filter them for you ;)
A nice detail about Robin is that up until this point she only ever called the crew by nicknames, but after Enies Lobby she starts using their proper names.
It's a detail I've always loved. If I remember right Luffy is the only one she calls by name because he's the only one she trusts at this point. Everyone else is named by their profession or Usopp who's called by his nose lol!
@@Kaze.. As I understand it she still used professional honorifics when calling Luffy by name, too, so her change in tone must be even more noticeable in Japanese.
Ohhh last chapter I gave her a hint on a comment about focusing on Robin's speech mannerism, to see if she noticed on her own...
Might as well anyways, I dont think she saw my comment.
Its also great that when Luffy gives someoen a nickname Robin also uses the nickname when referring to them. :)
@@furorteutonicus9045 or help Luffy figure out about Pineapple man.
Here's my interpretation of Aokiji and Robin relationship. At Ohara, he absolutely would have killed her because he believed in the WG's "The Oharans are a threat to world peace" line. However, Saul's actions (and likely Akainu's) made him rethink things... and no matter what he says about it only being because of Saul I doubt killing a child would have been easy in the first place.
Jump forward to the present, Aokiji's an admiral and seems a bit more on the fence about the Marines and WG as a whole. He's still loyal, but he's clearly questioning some of their methods. Regardless, he also clearly feels he's made a mistake when it comes to saving Robin. He's keeping track of her through the Marine's information network, and she's developed a reputation as a cold, monstrous woman who will work with you, support you, and then slip a knife in your back without blinking an eye (we as the audience know that her reputation is partially over-inflated and largely justified after seeing her interactions with Crocodile, but to those without context it seems pretty spot-on). WHen he runs into her and her newest marks (as he sees it) he decides to give them a fair warning: "I'm off duty, you go about your business. But that woman there? You better keep an eye on her". Why does he choose to spare them at first? Likely teh same reason he doesn't kill Luffy: respect for Garp (Luffy’s grandpa)
So, why does he care so much about Robin in the first place? Two reasons: First, the WG took a desperate and monstrous action at Ohara, and thanks to him it was all for nothing. If the sole survivor ends up growing up to be everything they feared, it's pretty much all on his shoulders. But perhaps more importantly, if she is a monster than Saul sacrificed himself for nothing. Aokiji killed his friend, and it wouldn't mean a thing. That's some heavy shit to deal with for anyone.
So yeah, Robin and Luffy survive their encounter, but Aokiji isn't done with them. He knows where they're headed, and presumably he knows that CP9 is there (although perhaps not and it was providence for Spandam that they went to the island with some of his best operatives). He gives the director the one piece of leverage Robin will never ignore, not knowing that the guy's a big enough tool to use it, by accident, at a Marine base (let's all take a moment of silence to contemplate on how awful Spandam is).
Long story short, Ennies Lobby happens, everyone comes back, they all party, and Aokiji is there covertly. He could kill Robin and the entire damn crew if he wanted... but he doesn't. In fact, he seems happy. But this makes sense: Robin's found a place now, she has the family Saul promised her. Sure, she's still a threat to the WG, but he can cross that bridge when he comes to it (lazy justice ftw). THe important thing is that Saul was right.
The important thing is that his friend's sacrifice wasn't in vain
This is a good comprehensive explanation 👍

This is very wholesome
Her theories will make for a great reaction. She is not ready for what comes forward.
Oh now Ik what you mean by that... damn
Yeah we'll all get to have Ace on the crew forever :D
Yes
yes
Do you remember when they were describing what kind of shipwrights they wanted before they arrived in Water 7? And Luffy drew a crude picture of one. Guess who Franky looks like LMAO
So we've got to the point where One Piece Friday is the first thing that goes in my weekly planner! There's a point coming up before too long that I think is perfect to stop for a re-read, I won't say when because spoilers, but that's when I stopped and went back to the beginning. One Piece re-reads are great, you pick out new details every time and take something new away from scenes you might've skipped over before. Plus, even though there's over a thousand chapters out now, it's never enough!
Did someone tell her about listening to Binks Sake when she finish Thriller Bark?
We'll save it for next week.
I’m really enjoying Merphy’s fan transformation from her early reviews that were along the lines of “yeah, it’s ok, maybe I’ll keep reading” to now the weekly hype review of the next arc, and the dedicated deep dive. I got into one piece through the anime, this is the part of the series that I went from watching here and there slowly, to plowing through it on my lunch break, after work, and just having to know what happens next. I’ve since switched to the manga and am now reading week to week on release.
Watching her go from cramming the East Blue into a batch review, to her redoing it as an hour long video (hour and a half if you count her reaction to her OG video) is just perfect
If u wanna reread the series I would recommend it after the half way point( which will be blatantly obvious). U'll also pick up more stuff in ur reread if u have reached this part..
Garp never forced Luffy.
He could grab Luffy and take him with him anytime he wanted and then throw him in a cell and wait until Luffy brakes.
But he doesn't! He dislike his choices, yes and he voices his objections very loudly but he doesn't force anything to Luffy.
If anything I believe he respects his choices.
Also Luffy almost always wanted to be a pirate (therefore strong) because of Shanks. So Garp didn't abuse him either, that was the best way for him to become strong (something that he wanted to be anyway).
Violence is never the ''best way'' to do anything.
@@katacutie wororororo you’re funny
It was abuse tho 👀
@@katacutie it was not violence and that's how you grow in any martial art that isn't trash, soldiers even. Pain, pain, pain, pain and more pain mixed with endless hardships, for thousands of years and there is nothing wrong with that.
@@katacutie i mean for today standards he was pretty abusive.
This arc has so much worldbuilding, is a great conclusion to this whole saga that opens up the world of One Piece and sets up so many conflicts. It's great that you want to reread past arcs with what you know now, and I guarantee that you will find lots of cool things hidden. This series is so crazy that really, everytime a lore bomb is dropped, it's worthy to revisit past arcs just to check the hints Oda sprinkled.
Especially cover stories, understanding how they tie back in to the story later on.
Time for One Piece Friday!
Yoooo it’s time for another Friday of the best selling manga in historryyyyyy!

@@donchon7580 the fact that you feel like saying It like that makes It look like its not.
Awesome! Vailskibum94 is here!
I think a big part of why there's so much One Piece passion on here, is due to finally seeing fresh eyes giving this story a chance - a lot of fans are very accustomed to seeing others slander this series (and I'm talking about ppl who have done the rounds on the Manga/Anime front as well). Seeing an impartial reader become an impassioned fan in real-time, is incredibly vindicating for a lot of fans (who have had to love this series amongst the open ridicule of other Manga/Anime fandoms).
Glad you're continuing to enjoy the story, and that you're already feeling compelled to re-read - this is definitely a story that rewards repeat readthroughs imo
I especially hate to see people don't give OP a change just because is "too big" or because "the art is strange" and at the same time completely ignore when a fan tries to explain why that is not a problem and it is a good thing actually. I can accept someone try it and say that didn't like it, but not trying it and give an opinion like its not worth it, that i don't like. Also if someone tried it and didn't like it, maybe they didn't get far enough to understand
@@OsnofAhcor Baratie is the first big hook, Arlong Park is the inflection point. If you read up to the end Arlong Park and tell me "I don't like the series" I will immediately accept your position as 100% valid. If you read Romance Dawn and start saying the series is crap, I won't even believe you read Romance Dawn, because that arc is PURE FIRE. I will concede Oda's art style is an acquired taste; if you are watching the anime, first arcs animation is ROUGH and pacing can be a mess; but story-wise, character-wise, world-wise, One Piece is one of the best pieces of fiction ever written, fight me
You would’ve loved me a year ago then. I was every bit of her the first time watching, the second time around, and had to slow myself down to a still the third time going to it because it was taking up so much of my time. But I’m still so in love with these characters and story.. her expressions really do speak for all of us and it’s so great
Oda: Whitebeard the world's strongest man and one of the four emperors
Merphy: Horn nose guy
She is like luffy. And it puts a smile on my face
@@jojosoni6355 right?! It's just like luffy to call people what he sees on them that's funny! And people around always end up giving up and accepting the way he talks cuz they know It's in a good way
@@jojosoni6355 you know, I cringed until you said this. So now I approve and appreciate this comment. Horn nose guy it is lol.
@@DissCeeg 😁
✅😂👌
Not sure if you noticed but before this arc Robin never called the Strawhats by their names; she called Usopp "Long Nose" for example, never truly being a part of the crew. But now, after Enies Lobby she does. Finally having a place she belongs, finally having a family she can rely on.
Damn I never noticed it.... before this arc she called
Luffy→Captian (except sometime she called him Luffy after long ring long land)
Zoro→Mr. Swordsman
Sanji→Chef
Nami→Ms. Navigator
Chopper→Doctor
Ussop→Long Nose
i think it kinda spoiler because robin saying their name changed in shabaody island arc.
@@momogi618 She saying their names in thriller bark already.
@@Exitblade ah i forget then, i remember robin saying their name the first time only at shabaody arc.
About Garp, i would just like to note that, while i agree that throwing a kid in the jungle to make them stronger is definetely not cool, him not wanting luffy to be a pirate is pretty reasonable considering most pirates are horrible criminals who murder innocent people.
As someone in the Navy, Garp also knows about lots of pirates who set out to make names for themselves just to die or be killed and then be completely forgotten.
@@Quanze Yup, for sure.
once she gets to Marine Ford she will understand Garp much more and once she rereads Louge town and sees Dragon she will get a glimpse of what kind of parent he is.
"...horrible criminals who murder innocent people..." describes far too many Navy folks as well. :(
@@KamisamanoOtaku when navies did this ?
Merphy: I think im interested in Garp... I think.
Everyone: Garp is potentially THE most interesting character
Awesome predictions👍won't say whether you're right or not lol. Just know Oda doesn't dissapoint.
I am kinda scared for her. the smile on her face after ace/bb prediction/theory
Spoiler Warning!
You're so evil ... I love it 🔥😈🔥
I hope she doesn't get spoiled accidentally by the comments. That would be sad tbh
By the end of the East Blue saga, I liked One Piece. However, by the end of the Water 7 saga, I was committed to following this series to its conclusion no matter how long that takes. This video and your reviews and theories after finishing this saga has committed me to showing up every Friday until you're caught up because I can't wait to see your highs and lows. As a One Piece fan that is up-to-date, I think I speak for most of us when we say it's an amazing experience to watch others take the journey we have and watching them fall in love with Eichiro Oda's gift to the world. Welcome to the family!
From water 7, is when I would say we get to see the real one piece..
Honestly, water 7 is where One Piece truly begins for me. You need the opening stuff up untill Sanjj at least, for me alabasta is so-so and the Davy back fight stuff one can completely skip. I'd also put the chopper stuff up as skippable it's not the best content in One Piece. Starting with water 7 though... everything kicks off and keeps gaining momentum.
Seeing people enjoy OP is almost as fun as OP itself
@@liam-398 that's bullshit!
How could you call those arcs skippable...
You need to pay more attention but if your brain isn't good enough just watch some explaining videos and maybe you'll understand
Water7 is what cements us with the characters, sabaody is where the plot finally clears up
One thing that's fun about Thriller Bark is that Oda is actually a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, so it has a lot of awesome themes in it. Just keep that in mind ;)
Please for the PEOPLE COMMENTING. I loved her genuine reactions and theories for whats incoming. PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING FOR HER. It would ruin the genuine reactions.
Lets work together and report/downvote every spoiler we saw!
Superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr agreed!
"Dad's gonna show up in picture at some point. I'm looking forward to it."
One Piece fandom : Same.
SOME DAY! We have faith!
i think like every arc people say Dragon will jump in and do something.
Saul being one of his best friends made Aokiji value Robin's life, he's an interesting characters, his motto as an Admiral is Lazy Justice... You'll see the approaches to justice from other admirals in the future and how it is in line to how they are as people.
The greatness of bounty chapters is vastly underrated. Also at this point in the story Oda starts mixing in a bunch of worldbuilding in the post arch chapters.
Yeah, honestly sometimes even the best arcs just feel like filler i have to sit through to get to those juicy bounty/post-arc wrap-up chapters
A big thing I think people forget is how short arcs are. Not obviously chapter count they are super long but like time frame wise it's usually only a day or so maybe a week at best. So people get mad during long arcs like the most recent ones. That we havnt seen X or Y in a while and stuff. But it's like guys it's only been 2 days since we last saw them I know you've waited 2 years but that's just how one piece is 2 days becomes 2 years
Garp is interesting indeed. Sure he seemed to abuse Luffy during his childhood, with the intention to made Luffy a great marine. BUT, he still respected Luffy's will. Garp knew that Shanks influenced Luffy to be a pirate, and the straw hat was their connection. Yet Garp never took away that straw hat from Luffy (which of course it's very easy to do back then and now).
edit: 12:31 but until the end of the video, you didn't say anything about the ship
I think he can take even after 1000 chapter. 😅😅😅
@@IndiaTides Actually.... you could be right! 😨😨
In the One Piece universe its hard to call that absuse, specially when Garp beating the shit out of them has a comedic undertone 😂 One Piece is weird lol
@@IndiaTides Probably. But he is definitely not taking it post Wano though :P So he has a very short window right now.
@@suhailrefaye92 Nah, even if Luffy surpasses Garp he would still never dare to hit him, Garp would still get the hat
(Minor spoilers for Merphy and others who aren't caught up with the manga)
Merphy: I'd love to know more about Luffy's dad
Me, who's caught up with the manga: Yeah me too
🤣
🥲
Same
And then there's the question of his MOM.
I love Dragon but yeah, we need more of him
I really like how genuine and disorganized her review is. It's almost like she's sharing her passion with a dear friend and I love it.
I superrr agree!
This is by far my favorite type of review I really wish more reviews were like this, it's just so nice and genuine I love it!
Yes! I even like hearing her theory about Ace
@@garnetcess4652 MERPHY DONT LOOK HERE
I feel so sorry for her about her Ace thoery
@@christiantitus11 MERPHY PLEASE DO NOT READ BELOW
I know but i love how she really has no clues about what really happened. I watched the Marineford arc in the anime knowing about Ace and I want to know what her reactions would be in a lot of scenes especially this one.
@@garnetcess4652 MERPHY PLEASE DONT LOOK HERE
I mean, my first watch of the Marineford arc was when I was 8-9 years old, so didn't have much of a train of emotions but it was still a great watch. But I wonder, how much of a baby I would cry like if I watched it in my current age for the first time. Well, I'm in for this Merphy's ride. She has one of the best reviews. I get goosebumps WHILE she explains the scenes. OH God! Well, I think this is long enough😅😅 Have a good day!
You know a true fan of One Piece is born when you have someone wanting to reread the chapters and try to find things you might have miss and try to theorize what is going to happen in the future. I absolutely love her reactions. I also completely agree with everyone that says: DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING TO THIS INNOCENT SOUL!
Not a spoiler but we did already see luffys dad. He (potentially) saved him with the lightning in loguetown, and he stopped smoker from attacking Luffy there as well
@@garrydearce8345 This is clearly post enies lobby, she should know all this by now 🤨
just reading the manga its a thing that's easy to forget, in the Anime they made it a lot more explicate
@@mahmii0174 she's not reading it like us over and over again.
@@Kurozumi9 he’s saying that it’s not a spoiler
It's not confirmed Dragon had anything to do with the lightning, it's just a very popular fan theory. The theory has some strong arguments, but it hasn't been confirmed in the text.
A one piece shirt and making theories? this is approaching weeb territory
*one piece youtuber territory*
Can you blame her? The series is just to good to not do that kind of stuff
Oda teased Garp training Coby and Helmepo in the cover stories, he intentionally didn’t show Garp’s face in those cover stories to make the reveal many chapters later that much better…Oda is a mastermind
Can we all appreciate that she finally started wearing one piece merch 💜
Merphy PLEASE AVOID SPOILERS! There's gonna be some huge moments and the most prone to spoilers part of the story up ahead! And there's two tipe of people. One is so passionate that thay gonna spew spoilers at you from shear excitement and the other is just jerks that appear before anyone that going through OnePiece and just spoil it for fun. Be cautious.
I got that one major spoiler while watching the anime and I was barely on the Alabasta arc when I was spoiled.
I was barely thinking of watching or reading and my cousin was so excited that she spoiled it for me, it was that event 3/4 arcs from now.. you guys know what i am talking about
there was a misunderstanding at 22:37 Ace doesn't want the title at all, he stated in Alabasta that he wants Whitebeard to be the king instead, u'll know how much he admires Edward, as a pirate and as family. also, the headcanon u imagined with Ace and Luffy was really heartwarming.. never thought of that, cool to see :/
Watching people read One Piece is the best! Everyone I've ever seen pick up the series starts theorizing -- and each of their theories is so wildly different from each other.
Oda did an amazing, bang-up job.
EDIT: I would advise against rereading from the beginning until you're caught up -- because that is when Oda's genius will strike hardest.
i think i've said it last vid, but i'll say it again here : Merry's "burial" definitely deserves a watch. it was done brilliantly in the anime and the emotion is insane. makes me cry everytime
"Obviously dad's gonna show up in the picture at some point"
He actually already did at chapter 100.
"shows up" would be kind. We don't get to see him in action or know about him at all.
@@yoshikagespeedwagon8025 I am a very kind person indeed.
She means he's gonna show up again
@@gabrielschuch1658 yeah, thanks for lending me $500 yesterday. Also, my mom says you're a good guy.
@@yoshikagespeedwagon8025 what???????
If you wanna start re-read One Piece.. There's a real good part to start coming up in 3 arcs... You will know once you get there.. I suggest you wait till then.. Though it's completely up to you
6 arcs to be exact
Merphy: I'm going to stop after the next arc to go back
Me: looks at the upcoming arcs.... time to binge read 4 arcs straight
The navy itself is kind of fascinating. The script on the back of the officers jackets mean justice, but it seems like the differentieret navy people has different ideas of what justice is. Just go back to Arabasta when Smoker tells Tashigi to act according to her own justice, which leads her to let Luffy past by her, so he can fight Croc, because she knows shes outmatched.
or many she thinks he was the best in to beat croc
@@L4C3-L4 That was what i meant. She thought she was outmatched in a battle with Croc, and therefore let Luffy pass, because that was for the best in the given situation, and would bring her idea of justice.
If you want to take a break and re-read the earlier sagas then I suggest keep reading for now to not break the flow until you hit a certain arc (you will know when you get there) which will feel like a natural point to stop/take a break
Thiiiiis
Garp is featured as the guy in the cover stories who takes in Coby and Helmeppo if you don't already know
Luffy's dad was also in Logue town
Aokiji feels indebted to Saul. More like an inherited will probably. My opinion
Also, Blackbeard was the drunken guy who talked about dreams to Luffy before the Skypiea Arc
Given how much Merphy is loving One Piece at this stage, I would love to see her catch up to the story in a few months and see her discuss new weekly chapters here.
I know that time will come... she's HOOKED on One Piece now 🥰
Sadly I wouldn't be able to watch since I'm anime only 🤣😂
oh god, hearing your theories just makes me more excited to see your future reviews even more. Also, for when you might want to start a reread I would suggest just continuing for a while longer there are better parts in the story to take that step back. You'll probably know when you're at those points.
And just so we're clear, please please PLEAAAAAAAAASE no spoilers. Even something that may seem OK might give clues. I just had to delete my own reply when I realized what I'd done so please everyone be careful.
Maybe she should back up after the "half point" saga
omg the theories
yes, she could make this break after sabaody... would be perfect.
keep reading, you will know when the time to re-read comes...no need to rush now ;)
About aokiji, there are 3 marine admirals, each one has a diferent sense o morals and what justice should be, so everything he does kynda fits with his personal sense of justice...also, people usually dislike the next arc, trhiller bark, but pay attention to everything, because it is one of the most dense in terms of foreshadowing and setups for the future
Easily the funniest arc tho
No spoilers please
Thriller Bark is definitely a sleeper hit, has some of the best moments, but its island story is kind of hit or miss with a lot of people. Maybe because the theme seems so pointed, but I think it meshes well.
what do you mean ppl dislike it? I never knew that the best ark in one piece is not the best for everyone D:
Spoilers: Can’t wait for her to go down the path of Sanji being her favorite to her least favorite after Thriller Bark. That’s what happened to me. He goes from a pathetic romantic to a downright sex offender in that arc and I really hate it. From Thriller Bark onwards Sanji’s joke gimmick changes and it’s painful.
Fully encourage the rereading, you definitely miss some things and people the first read through. Though you may want to wait a few more arcs. Chapter 597 is a good turning back point, you’ll see why. A lot of big moments and unexpected connections are coming up, and it’ll make you appreciate some people more. Also, pay attention to some of Usopp’s lies when you do.
Also keep in mind, One Piece is a MANGA. i.e a drawn story, not completly written. Which means that visual information is JUST AS valid as written.
Oda, which you probably already have realised at this point, is one of THE BEST mangaka's that use this to his advantage... ALOT. and You can get several PAGES of what otherwise would've been written information, through just ONE of his doubble-page spread drawings.
He's a master at detail and drawing with intention. The way Luffy punches the bad guy, matters. Like, the actual direction of the punch. Each frame or "story board" which it's called for manga, but it's literally the same as a camera angle in a film, are all carefully chosen with INTENTION and the more you read the more you realise this. And the more you re-read and just look and soak in the VISUAL information, you will realise this.
For instance, Luffy punches Crocodile UP from the underground, to expose the underworld crime boss behind the civil war of the nation.
Luffy punches Arlong DOWN with his mansion, destroying it in the process and marking the end of that which stood for the control and power over Nami and the village.
These are just 2 examples out of so many. You can analyze One Piece for hours just based on visual information alone which is equaly, if not more interesting than the written information at times.
Just a REMINDER for someone who's used to reading books, where the only information is written.
This is a really good coment
@@OsnofAhcor I AGREE! too bad she didnt saw it xDDD HEHEHE
I really hope she loves Chopper in the upcoming reread, or even try his arc in anime with japanese subs. Because Chopper is so lovable.
He just turned into human not too long ago, he has so much to learn. That's why he believes everything Ussop said.
He's that one kid that hangs out with his brother's friend group, he's there to help as much as he can, while admiring the big boys do it better.
yeah chopper's japanese voice actor is GOAT and chopper's flashback in the anime is so great!
You said Ace is able to hit Blackbeard easily - this is actually not hard. Blackbeard is a logia (like Enel, Ace, Aokiji, and Smoker), but he can be hit really easily due to how his works.
I totally agree with those who recomend you to use as a breaking point Chapter 597 to go back and re read. It is simply perfect for that.
Aokiji: Just vibing
Merphy: "HES BREAKING MY BRAINNNN"
Can’t wait when she does the reread and realizes Garp Coby and Helmeppo had a cover story arc. Have accepted and understand how someone casually coming in could miss that.
Also reminder/recommendation to watch Chopper’s flashback and the Going Merry funeral episode in the anime. Those are great in the anime.
Maybe even the Usopp/Luffy conflict, both the conversation on the boat and the actual battle.
If you're going to reread, personally I'd recommend doing that when you finish the saga after thriller bark. Being purposely vague, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone!
Before water 7& Enies Lobby:
Merphy : I don't like usopp.
After water 7& Enies Lobby:
Merphy : 15:21
Watching this video a year after you made it and hearing your Ace theory... Made me imagine a future that never happened... It hurts, almost physically hurt even
Bruh she already has a one piece shirt?! It’s been two years and I only have a freaking phone case and the wanted posters!!! 😂😂😂
its been 9 for me and all i have is a chopper plush frrom toreba
No worries lol... I never bought anything for 9 years until last month and got a Colorwalk and Pirate Warriors lol 😆
Hey Merphy, regarding the reread: There will be a very natural break point in the story, you will know when it is happening so that might be a good point to reread the Story.
3d2y
I'd say to stop before that because that's still a healthy ways away, maybe right after the arc after Thriller Bark
I was gonna say exactly this.
Yes read 2 more arcs and then do it. Very good spot to go back and appreciate the growth to that point.
@@haywoodabanks i agreed with u. Best place to reread is after thriller bark.
This woman is not prepared for what's to come.
No one is, no one was and no one will ever be. There's One Piece
I've been reading for years and even going back and re-reading I'm never ready for what's to come...gets me every time! T.T
