 Well, we have made it. Episode 500 of One Piece. It's been an absolutely insane journey up until this point, along one of that, one that I've enjoyed each and every second of, and that's an understatement. But ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. We have 501 of One Piece today, still in this backstory with Luffy, Sabo, and Ace, and a lot of interesting development in terms of, I guess, Luffy's perspective on the world, and I'm still trying to find out why this Sabo character has been kind of just left out this entire time. If you need a channel, drop us up and let's hop into it. Oh, my God, the ship's gonna capsize. No! Gotta have the representation. Bro, it's just stretching away. He's so, like, in no control of his powers. It's so funny. Doesn't know how to just shoot himself back up. There are three little poles. Beg. Now, we do know, yeah, they have, I guess, word on Sabo, but his father's taking steps, but he really wants a telescope. He's, like, fixated on it. Oh, shoot. Dang, one of the chances. Oh, no. Blue Jam's like the big boss, too. Leader of the Blue Jam Pirates. Well, the Blue Jam just isn't that intimidating of a name, in my opinion. Back up on the way, baby! Dude, he's in the, I swear, that's a connection to him being in the barrel. Any time I see Luffy in a barrel, I think back to episode one. And why was he in a barrel? It's just, it's like, it registers in my brain. Then again, I feel like any, like, thread that I followed one piece could end up literally nothing, if it's possible. You know, I suspect the question, how does he keep the hat in such good condition? I mean, it's been pulled, it's been stretched, it's been thrown. It still looks great. I mean, even if he shot Luffy, it wouldn't matter. Sabo's the one they want. Um, oh, it's his dad. Now they know. Tempted Sabo and the evil. No, dude, your life just sucks. Brother, what do you mean after your money? They're all friends. Brother! Oi. I feel like they'll just let Luffy and Ace go. Oh! A really bad feeling about like, Sabo not making it out of this backstory. And this just grew the bond between Luffy and Ace, because we know Luffy and Ace make it out of this. I don't want to watch this. A man's dreams never end. Awww. He knows it just gets... Oh, the tower. He knows it just gets worse for them if he stays. Like he's taking the hit. Well, no, but he says the pyres can do whatever they want with it. Yeah. For what, ransom? They actually might. Yeah, it's so funny that those nobles look down on even the Blue Jam pyres like they're trash, but they hired them. Awww, because it's fun. Luffy like, ready to fight as soon as he got up. Uh-uh. No, absolutely not. They've known him for too long. Yeah, what is Blue Jam even getting at? I mean, they can just say, no, we won't and leave, right? I mean, he's being kind of honest with them though, because he knows that more chaos is going to occur if they try to take him. It gets worse for everyone. Hey, they got respect from Mr. Blue Jam himself. Oh. Wait, does he ask him to join us? No way. Oh, he's got a job for them already? Carry packages. Are they like mules? Like drug mules? Oh, they about to make some shmoney. They have little flags on them. Yeah, it sucks. It's like what you have to do even if it doesn't feel good. About like what they did or what happened? Oh, yeah, he wants them to snitch? This is shameless. Bro. Dad of the year award, baby. This is, this is great. A crime is a crime. Don't pay him. That's some shmoney. Holy. God dang. Oh, Brooke. Ah, the straw hats. I wonder how they're all doing. Oh, Saddle's going to plan some kind of breakout or something. I really am curious how this all ends up, but I feel like it's like an escape operation. Stelly? Why does Stelly look like a doll, bro? Adopted him. Oh my God, they have a child backup plan? That is shameless. This guy just gets worse and worse. He's basically like, I don't even need you, Savo. A man's swim is never end. Dude, it's just creepy. I'm calling it an it. It's bothering me. The burnables? What? What do you know, child? Tell him. Just like beating his ass. A fire. Huh? Like they're just going to burn it down? What's so wrong with... Oh, that's why... Okay. I didn't know that the Slushful Dragon was coming. Are they just worried that the Great Terminal... Oh. Oh my gosh. They don't want to smudge on their kingdom with Great Terminal right out front. Ah, dude. Why does his face look like that? Yeah, because you have to go through the Great Terminal to get into the kingdom, right? I'm pretty sure. He's got his backup pole. He has to go warn them. I mean, it's not even that like Luffy and Asor are inherently in danger because they don't live like in the Great Terminal, but there's a lot of people there. Yeah, shout out this child for, I guess, telling. Yeah, what are they going to do? Just plant bombs? Wait. That's what the boxes were for. Oh. Is it so ridiculous? They're bad people. It's pretty obvious at this point. Oh. Ace is like Luffy. I can't get over it if you keep bringing him up. Yeah. Sabo. He's saying it in his sleep. What's his plan? He's a man on a mission. I think you know Sabo. I'm pretty sure. She was like, have you heard about the fire coming later today? He's like, I think that's a good sign. Okay, dude. Oh my God. Tomorrow is going to be even better though. Oh, no. Clueless. Accidents could easily happen on a day like this. We haven't even seen the leader, have we? I don't think. Oh my God, he's asking so openly. Of course I know. Well, that was easy. Wait, for making it like, framing it like an accident? It seems like a lot of people just know. I guess people like the way their lives are here. Yeah, nobody cares. It's even darker that yeah, Luffy and Ace inherently had a hand in it without even knowing. That's why you're so desperate to get Sabo back before the fire. Does that dog have a hat? Oh my. That's nothing. Just a lot of people about to die. Because people here are pretentious and they just want to protect their own lives. Oh, wait. I feel like he's about to spit some wisdom. Oh. No, he's... Yeah, never mind. I think this old man... Worse! Special! You are human just like everyone else! I thought he was going to be like, there's nothing I can do about it, but I wish there was. Because it's not themselves that are in danger and someone else. Sabo's just Bay Zed for having grown up here, to an extent. Run, Sabo! It's even more sad because he knows there's not a chance in hell that they hear him right now. But he feels so helpless in what he can do to save them. Aside from what I said, he's going to have to straight up escape this entire kingdom. 501, let's go! Flowers! Oh no. He did the trope where you need to keep going, but you just fall. I mean, he's running so fast he just tripped over himself. Oh no. There's no way you can get to him. Is this blue jam shit? Oh, yeah. Oh, well, now they know. At least we know they won't be... I mean, we know that they don't get injured in this either way, but we know they won't be there. But Sabo doesn't know that. Yeah, I mean, of course, they'd still be worried about all these innocent people about to die. They have humanity blue jam. That's not really your business, isn't it blue jam? He knows they're pirates and these pirate kids would have a mindset of like keeping their treasure in one place. Is he just kind of abandoning Sabo? Just throwing him a basement. That's so gross. So he just adopted like a backup child. Aw, shoot, they're sending them off. Oh, this is so sad. But there's so many people in great terminal. Oh, shoot! I bet she's gonna be just super worried about the boys. Oh, no. I hope she doesn't go looking for them. There's no one that's gonna be able to stop this fire. Absolutely not. The lifesaving and fire extinguishing. Like they even... they are going to attempt it. Yeah, what happens when they make just a great gate? No shot. They just leave them trapped in here? No shot. Oh my god, they're all just gonna burn alive. Oh, this is so... this is so messed up. They have somewhere to run. Is blue jam just to like execute anyone? What is his dream? He talked to the king? No shot. Oh my god! He's partying blue jam! Dude. Oh my god. I feel like the king is still gonna betray blue jam though. Like he's ordered them to like gun down his crew. They left him tied up! Yeah, why is it close? I don't know. You don't kind of deal with a king like this. I mean, I guess blue jams just come back too. Ah, shoot. Ah, shoot. His come up and it's a little bit of karma. Yeah guys, stop messing around. Oh my god, his whole crew burned alive. That'd be insane. Both scumbags trying to make a deal with each other. And then he can pin it on them. Oh my god! Oh my gosh, what a terrible, terrible man. I mean, yeah, he is a bad guy and it's whatever that they pin it on him, but still. That's crazy. Loopy, gotta get up, kiddo. God dang, even his ship. Loopy, stop complaining! Oh, he made it out. God, that kid already always finds a way. He brave as hell though, man. I think he probably thinks they're dying. There's only so much he can do. God, dude, that fire. Oh, who is that? Who is this? Did he just keep, like, a permanent tab on Loopy and Ace and, like, maybe Sabo? God, kingdom has gone this far. Oh, he was born here. Dude, no wonder he's the leader of a revolutionary army. He stopped places like this from existing. I can't forget. Dude. Dude! Oh, my God! This is, this went 0 to 1. This went to 100 to 1,000. I love the look at Blue Jam's face. So hopeless. Just some scumbags, man. Oh, no, your ship. What are you gonna do now? How could this corrupt evil king do this? What a monster! Holy! Brother is annoyed that the sky is bright from burning people to the ground. That's crazy that Dragon was born here, though. Oh, my goodness. There's a man so, so shallow here. Oh, yeah. Why didn't they think about it like that? What fools? She is horrendous! Jesus. Oh, my God. This is just pure indoctrination. It's so disgusting. Oh, this is hard to watch. You are so gross. At least, uh, what's his name? Nagati already made it out, like, on his ship. I'd be worried about him, especially. No way are you gonna try to take them down as you're burning alive. There's no way. Yeah, why are you still here, Blue Jam? I mean, if Blue Jam were even remotely half intelligent, he would have set a backup plan in case the king did betray them. Like, he should have had some inkling that this was possible. Why? Like, as you're just in this situation, do you want to take these children down? Like, you're so pathetic, man. The question is, is Dragon gonna step in? No, for real. That's a pirate, baby. Oh, maybe it's to get them to leave them alone. He tells them, it's your life. Yeah. All the treasure they've worked so hard for all this time, they have to trade it away. I would have just told them a fake location. I'm not gonna lie. Six years. They're gonna take them with them just in case it's not there. Yeah, I figured. So this is when he set the backup plan case on his lying. The King Gate Blue Jam trust issues in real time. Make a comeback, and it starts off the treasure of some children. Oh my God. I mean, I don't blame him for hitting the nobles, though, yeah. This is a bunch of just terrible people in this entire place. No, he wasn't, bro. You don't know him like they do. He wants them to get mad. He bit him! Oh, no. Well, we know Luffy doesn't die here. I think Dragon's gonna step in. Wait, is that hockey? Holy s***! That's gotta be hockey. The fire went away too for a second. Or was Luffy able to inadvertently use that this young? He was in a life or death situation. Dude, some huge, huge developments here. That had to be Luffy, though. Oh, wait, no, Luffy's the one on the ground. Is that Ace? No, that's Ace in that arm. So maybe Ace had hockey, and we just never even got to see it? I don't know. I thought it was Dragon at first, but it can't be, I don't think, because he would have just been around here. Maybe he would have shown himself, but he also would have stepped in before Blue Jam even had a chance to shoot at Ace. But, dude, Dragon being here is a huge deal. The more kind of information we get about him, the better, because it seems like he does sort of just keep a tap on Luffy. Now, he just showed up at Lowntown when he needed to be there to help him escape and get to the Grand Line. How he's there for Sabo, knowing that, I guess, Sabo's sort of an important part of Luffy's childhood. And, like I said, I kind of like this at work of two evils against each other. Blue Jam and his pirates, and the king and his nobles, I guess. Because you don't root for either side, but whenever one betrays the other, it's just like, dang, I mean, you asked for it, to be honest. But it's developing like crazy, and I'm just pretty much just worried that Sabo doesn't make it out of this, because we've never heard of him up at this point, and we know Luffy and Ace make it out. But guys, that's been it for episode 500 and 501 of our One Piece Watchers. Do drop a comment down below when you thought the episode was what you thought of my reaction as well, and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace, base.
