| Doflamingo is really weird. I can't quite get if he is totally crazy or has some reasons in his mind .-. |
 |
| Poor Garp, so much pain, and so little to do about it. |

| How did they get to fly so high lol? :D |
 |
| I was getting all emotional because of Garp and Ace and was seriously about to cry but Luffy's entrance relieved me. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Luffy always has the best entrances |
| For a moment I thought it was Enel with his flying ark (or, less likely, the Strong World movie villain somehow). Shit would be about to go very down. Epic entrance though! |
| This is one of my favorite episodes since I can remember. I'm bawling my eyes out jeez. In fact I want to talk about every single moment of this frantic episode but that's just not realistic, so I'll try and break it down into the few key moments that moved me so much. Firstly, I just want to say, this frantic chaos is what I wanted out of the Impel Down escape. To be constantly moving with little down time except for the moments that are crucial to the characters, those can have more focus. This episode was chaotic and constantly moving and it slowed down for those crucial moments perfectly. This is chaos at its best. Next, the death of Oars was powerful. The way he reached for Ace and nearly got to him before we saw his hand fall indicating his death was so well done. It was a tonal change in the battle field. It was the first major and known face that fell. Someone everyone cared about was dead in such a brutal way as his killer gloated about it. It was that moment I feel this went from frantic to tragic and serious. Ace's tears and the shock of his comrades were good but the thing I loved most was Whitebeard's reaction. He knew this was going to happen and he tried his best to stop it by giving Oars cover. But it wasn't enough. So in a moment of tragedy and anger to have a vice admiral giant sneak up on him was perfect, the absolute rage in the shattering of his helmet and axe while tossing him away like he was garbage showed the love he has for his people and how this hurt him. But, like any good leader, after a somber moment of respect he won't let that death go in vain and he commands to use what Oars opened for them and climb his body! It was a game changer and when thinking about how we would feel if Dorry or Broggy or those giants that helped Usopp did this for him, it makes me feel for the people who knew Oars well. Doflamingo had some wonderfully sick moments too. He is loving this chaos and reveling in it. He showed he could cut off a giants leg but instead of physically fighting his foes he chose to force them to slaughter each other. It was disgusting. He showed that he is quite amoral believing that in the end might makes right, the winner is the just one. It's an argument you hear quite a lot and it's pretty decent, history is written by the winners so they say. And despite how prevalent this argument is, this is probably my favorite telling of it.
But my favorite scene of all was when Garp went to sit with Ace. It was so powerful to me it made me cry. We saw how hard this was for Garp as he laughed off his sadness but he couldn't stop hearing Ace's cries in his head. This is his grandson and he's letting himself down, Ace down, and Roger down by letting his happen. It must be killing him inside. So when the new plan to execute Ace early came through it was the moment I think he decided he had to go ride this out with Ace for it's the least he can do. When Sengoku questioned Garp and Garp responded, "Shut up, I just want to be here" that is when it really hit me. He's between a rock and a hard place. He can't go against his duty to the navy but he loves his grandson. He's forced into a place of inaction. Garp of all people is in over his head. And if he can't do anything to help Ace the least he can do is say goodbye to him and sit by his side in camaraderie for what is to come. That's at least how I took it and man when I thought of it that way it broke my heart. The hero of the navy Garp with tears down his face was too much to watch. This is such a tragic moment, of my GOSH.... A grandpa with his grandson on opposite sides of a war and the only thing he can do for Ace is to sit by his side while his execution is approached. :/ |
| Finally, Luffy, Crocodile, Ivan, Buggy, Mr.1 and Mr.2 are here, I have been waiting for this! |
| It was one emotional whammy after another from Little Oars Jr.'s noble sacrifice that paved their way towards saving Ace and Garp finally letting out his sadness over how things turned out for his adopted grandson. The latter moment hit me especially hard with how they showed the precious bonds he and his grandsons shared. While it wasn't particularly sad, Akainu roasting that deserter and Doflamingo making that commander massacre his own teammates were very unpleasant moments. After that dastardly announcement of Sengoku's strategy, Luffy and the others making the goofiest and most unexpected entrance really helped in easing the tension. |
 |
| IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONGGGGG LUFFY!!!! was an epic entrance tho o7 |
 |
| "I have no pity for Pirates but Family is a different story." T_T Luffy is here. |
 |
| Here we gooooo!!!! |
 |
| Goddamn they came from the sky xD The past moments between ace garp and luffy were gold :D |
| This was such an emotional rollercoaster. I was near tearing up on that moment between Garp & Ace, but Luffy's aerial drop-in just sliced through the somber mood and put a smile on my face. |
 |
| First of all Garp really tried to lead them both to a safe path and there family to him so I feel for Garp anyway what an entrance finally Luffy has arrived |
 |
| Luffy finally arives ! Also the whole Garp and Ace moment.... :( |
| Luffy's arrival was quite epic, falling from the sky telling ace he is here to save him. |
 |
| About time Luffy!! |
| Omg look at how strong Whitebeard... holy shit!! 1 handed smashing Giant. Boa Hancock expression when she saw Luffy was so cute. that ending scene was so EPIC!! I'M HYPED AF!! |
 |
| That was a very Luffy entrance. Whitebeards starting to get pissed. |
 |
| epic entrance from Luffy! |
 |
| Justice will prevail because the winner decides what's right on wrong. REAL history. man such a serious father son type moment between Ace and Garp Luffy ate everything even as a baby ^_^ |
| that's a lie ji chan .You definitely possess symapthy for your adversaries. Luffy has arrived at last |
| This arc is so peak. First flamingo is so Op. idk how anyone can beat him? How is he not ruler of the world if he can mind control. 2nd lava admiral kind of an a hole. Much worst then ice guy or even light guy. Next I love Garp, ace, and Luffy flashback. I feel really bad for Garp. He a good guy at heart and against criminals. He really in a hard spot. But I think he will help them at some point. Finally want an entrance by Luffy. Loved everyone reaction especially Garp lol |
