 Our journey through alabasta continues. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. My name is Jack the Buster, I'm Shinobi. We have episodes 101 and 102 today of One Piece. Again, our group is still making their way to Yuba, overcoming a few obstacles here and there, including just absolute monstrosities in this desert. We're gonna hop right into it. If you're new to the channel on top of seven, hit that big blue bell. Let's get started with the episodes. Oh, what a cozy little hideout. Hey, they had to stop eventually. Oh wait, no, this is someone else. All right, what is this duo? Oh, that's probably Luffy's camp. Yeah, okay. He sees the tat. Stop! I hate this wall sound so much. Wait, you've been waiting for Ace. Why does that bird keep yawning? He's not very good about sharing when it comes to food. Don't make eye contact, like he's an animal. He's so reserved, he's so mature in comparison to his brother. I would say his well-mannered attitude is why he has such a high bounty. He keeps himself kind of restrained. I mean, this is quite the detour. I'm gonna be honest. In terms of finding Blackbeard, I mean, is he going to snipe him? That seems kind of, you know, a random out way of doing things, but sure, buddy. Po-po? He's not gonna say anything. Oh, some kids too. One of them is invisible apparently. Oh, no, okay. What do you mean they saw us? Of course you did. Just floated that meat in front of him. It's running. Honestly, it was pretty impressive that they were able to get like a hook or something into the meat. Aw, these poor kids probably just need food. It's such a small piece too. So sad! Oh, are the bad lambs? Of course, Ace just followed them effortlessly. Oh, yeah, you're gonna take him down for sure. While I have a feeling this guy is like low-key kind of like wholesome or he has like a sad backstory. Like he has so much spirit, man. Him and Po-po against the world. The photo is ripped. So I feel like the like actual person he's looking for was in that picture and it's ripped. How does he just, he's ahead of chopper. Oh, there they are. I've come to challenge you. I love how Luffy's just with him. Like they don't care. I haven't cared that Luffy's been gone. I feel like this isn't gonna take much. I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, like there's no way this is the guy. Unless he has some crazy stuff hidden up his sleeve. Oh, here he goes. I love this soundtrack though. It's so good for no reason. I just wanna see Ace flex more, man, honestly. Can't get enough. That seemed like his whole plan was that net. I just threw it back on him. Even Po-po's disrespecting him. Brr! Bruh, at least Po-po's a good teammate, man. He's there for him. Airgun with extingu... Wait, that doesn't seem that... Oh wait, extinguisher! I can inspire! How did that take me so long? Oh my gosh, wait, that is very high pressure. Breaking rocks. Didn't take much at all, I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, he did not. Huh? Ah, I see, okay. Yeah, not bad, but he bit off a bit more than he could chew. This does Scorpion have a final form. Wait, what? This was all a scam? Wait, he doesn't know? Or did he- he didn't see them there? Chip and dip? No shot, you named them dip, Chip! I guess he was like a bad season or something. He's like had to resort to this kind of stuff. Oh, he did it literally just- He just wanted them to like have an exciting life. Here he goes with Double Barrel Danny and Hell Battler Luther again. Also, why do I feel like he just made those names up? Actually true! Actually true! Doesn't mean you'll win or even stand a chance, but you can challenge them. And they have like no dreams because they're like, alright, well, our lives are pointless and we're just gonna die here. No, you- you- you pack up now! He's still going? Oh, here comes Popo. Very useful. Wait, is he gonna shoot like the bomb one? Why would he do that with his children here? This is a horrible way to prove a point! I'm sorry, I'm hungry! Just please don't blow us up! It's a little bit traumatic, I'm gonna be honest. Kinda getting selfish that he's putting them through this. Oh no. Oh no. Okay, that was a tad underwhelming, but I feel like that's about to fall on them. He said blow, like he'll like destroy the Grand Line with that? He's too cool, man. He really is. Like I said, he reminds me of Mihawk, how he's showing how like power-scaled some characters in this show are. I thought Lovie was powerful, dude. Are you dead? He has a whole scorpion helmet and everything. That's so cute. Wholesome. I mean, in a weird way, but wholesome. Oh! Another lead. Oh, I'm so sad. What? Does it say something on it? Aw, he's in capable hands. Hell yeah. Bye, dip, bye, chip. Man, it's just disappeared! Dang, dude, a ghost in the night. I wanna know what the paper says. Oh, I actually do wonder how long it'll be. Boy, and so that concludes Ace with our crew. I actually, that kind of came out of nowhere for me. I thought he would be here until the sort of the end of Alabasta, but like I said, I mean, this is a huge detour for him and since there's no lead anymore, there's no point in him being here. Aside from, I guess, bonding time with Lovie. That being said, episode 102, let's get it. Also, if we don't find out, and this one, what the paper says, I'm gonna be a little bit upset. What do you mean to know? Did he get lost out here? Earlier. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, it is. I was like, are they gonna explain? Man's was running on air there for a second. Yeah, he was flying. I love how the voice actor for Lovie sounds like he's just in a very enclosed room. That's such a good line. I look forward to it. Oh, they just went on ahead? Dude, when could blow the footsteps? I think he literally has just gone mad. What do you mean, stick him with a needle? God dang, dude, they're not gonna even gonna make it across the desert. God, dude, those eyes! Submarine! Oh, wait, that's actually cool! Oh, my God, they drowned Chopper. Oh, no, dude. We've seen them fight already. I was so annoyed by that in Whiskey Peak. Somebody help Chopper! Okay, okay. Crocodile Zoro versus crazed Lovie. He says, how did I end up following this cat? But he loves Lovie so much. He loves these shenanigans. Huh? They just stopped? Why did they just freeze like that? Stuff and things. Are they like, knock him out? I guess they just knocked each other out and then were buried in the sand. So that's why they just stopped like that. Wow, wow, wow. Look how there's no footprints in a desert where there's wind blowing. Okay, that's not as complex as of a story for them getting separated as I expected. But it takes like more energy for Chopper to stay in that form or if it's just more of a convenience thing, how he was small stuff, like made it way easier for Zoro to drag him. Like now he can't be drugged, so he's like bigger. But I guess then his footsteps are like, or his stride is longer, so it doesn't take as much energy. This is like the opposite of pyro life in a desert. Well, I guess it's just like exploring in general. It's just like, comes with it. He's like, it's for more on crew Chopper. Yes, he is. He's a Maverick? Like what, just on top of their game? I think they've all joined just like with the extent of Luffy and who he is as a captain. They can tell who he is. True. Oh, it's so a little bit different than Usopp's mantra. At the time, he's not sure if he means it. The one little rock? I like their turns back and forth. Oh, man, just clothesline them into the rock. At least they got shade. God damn it. I'm not sure if he's a man. He's a rock. At least they got shade. God, dude, that has to feel good though. After all that time in the desert, you've killed Chopper once again. Okay, at least he can admit it. Dude! What is this literal rabbit hole we are falling down? Oh, what? This looks like treasure, bro. We treasure hunting out here. Chopper's dead, swirls in a hole, and they're just going to make it to you before everybody else. Kind of mysterious structure with writing. Oh, Chopper can hop down. Dude, it's just sinking through. That was Luffy's so positive, man. Whatever it is, it's definitely underground. Boy, couldn't have figured that out. Are they like destroyed town? Flashes. Nope. They're off on a side mission right now. Surely they have to be close. Oh, wow. Wait, that's really close then. I guess it's like noon, so like a 6-7 hour walk? That is an epic story. Romanticizing the downfall of Alabasta. I love the serious discussion. It just cuts to Usopp dead. This one on Patreon kind of helped me figure out how there's actually three sides. Like Alabasta, the rebels, and Baroque works. It's all kind of being manipulated by Crocodile. I'm just very curious about what was Vivi's childhood friend. Instead of the beginning of the last one, his connection to Crocodile or like their relationship. Yeah, that inevitable fight, dude. I don't know. It's building Crocodile up pretty big because I mean, he's Mr. Zero. We haven't even seen Mr. One fight yet. Or Mr. Two. We know Mr. Two, but we don't even know who Mr. One is. But I don't know how strong he is. And I assume he would come before Crocodile. You know you are still on a trek to get to Yuba, right, Luffy? I guess it's just like part of the civilization that has fallen away over time. I think I got buried after. We just need to get back. This morgue just seems like lore for Alabasta. He's such a child. Zoro's comedy hole. He's a comedian. I figured he was just trying to grab on. I guess you're just gonna have to bust through the whole ceiling. How nice. There's nothing to grab on to. Well, that's just beyond his reach. I still haven't figured out Luffy's reach. Wait, he's going to collapse the entire building in. Okay, Luffy is trolling, like actually trolling. At this point, I'm convinced he's trying to not get to Yuba ever. He runs off with random people, seemingly trapping them in here. Oh, unless. I mean, it works. That makes sense when I wanted Chopper smaller. Oh. Oh my gosh. They better hope for a stop landing. Didn't plan for this. Chopper learns more and more by the day what this crew is really about. I thought they were going to land, like, right on Vivi and all of them. It's all just an adventure to him. Oh, dude, the night sky is so red. Usopp is struggling, bro. It's broken him. God, he looks rough. Of course she's worried. They're about to finally be there, but in the middle of everything, she cares more. You don't have to say friends. You can say Usopp. How can you trust him? And she knows that they put in their everything, all of them, on the crew. He admitted that he needed them. That's so sweet. I mean, it wasn't a straightforward answer, but she didn't need a straightforward answer. Yeah, figure out their relationship. What? Everybody needs each other. And it's not all about just, like, one ruler. I was about to say it's the perfume. Very sensitive. Boy, they have to be getting there soon, then. If they're catching up to Nami and all of them, and they said they'd get there by nightfall, it's going to be, like, the next episode or two episodes, for sure. And I feel like it's really going down. There they are. They always find their way back home. Home is where the crew is. She gave her that wink, like, told you. That's so freaking sweet, dude. I love just those feel-good moments where it doesn't make me cry. But I can still be like, dang, yeah, that's what this show's all about. It's literally, like, the heart of the crew. How loopy is this very, very powerful person when it admits his faults and admits that he needs help. It's, like, a very deep running theme, and I feel like it's going to be the recurring theme, especially in how they're finding crewmates and finding, like, you know, sort of holes to fill in the crew. They all need certain, like, help in certain categories and have to admit their faults and admit that they are human. Despite all being like, yeah, I'm the best at this or I'm the best at this. They're all narcissists in a way, but they work well together. They fit each other. Once they all get on that same wavelength, they're like, okay, yeah, you help me here, I help you there. And I think that was just a really sweet way that they kind of attributed it to Alabasta, especially for Vivi being someone in, like, a higher position of power. But guys, that's been it for episodes 101 and 102 over One Piece Watch. We have very, very sweet, wholesome episodes. We're moving before the chaos that goes down once they actually make it to Yuba and the inevitable, inevitable confrontation with Crocodile. But that's it for me. Drop us up if you're new and I'll catch you in the next one. Peace, peace.
