on (my) One (True Manga Love) Piece

[xparrot]

Caught up with the anime with the sibs (to ep 601) and then out of impatience caught up with the manga (to the just-out ch.712) and this series is still ridiculous and too long and so shounen it hurts (...especially for Sanji in the last chapter, ow) and the latest arcs haven't been quite up to Water 7's standards, but I still love it forever and endlessly.

In addition to my adoration for everyone else I now also am madly in love with Trafalgar Law. (Well, I was before. But moreso after Punk Hazard. His interactions with the Strawhats are amazing "You understand that your definition of 'alliance' and his are different, right?" and he's super-hot by OP's very special standards.)

(What's up with his hat, though - why does it keep matching Chopper's style? Is there some special fashion trendsetter for doctor's hats on the Grand Line???)

But for the love of little fishes WHEN ARE WE GOING TO MEET VEGAPUNK, ALREADY???

SORRY!!! I didn't mean to break any brains, but after the last panel in CH 712 my brain immediately went "wait, he's blond, and Sabo was royalty which was close to the Tenryuubito, maybe?" And then I thought, maybe he was picked up by the Tenryuubito instead of Dragon, or maybe he is working for Dragon as a spy on the Tenryuubito and World Government? Sorry my mind goes really strange places...

Hmmm...I think Law's current experiences with the Strawhat crew mirror the brain breakage I have caused here. It seems like consistently he keeps having these "WTF?" experiences with the way the crew treats him (Chopper on his head) and the way the crew reacts to everything (Luffy, 'nuff said). I also really wonder what happened to Bonney...

Hee - if I didn't want my brain broken I wouldn't read OP! XD It just hadn't occurred to me about Sabo (you'd think it would've, after all the time I spent wondering if Law were related to him somehow, but...!)
