Today at 3pm PST, Jello, Aloha, and maybe Bo (he's up in the air atm) talk about Skypeia.

Haha.

Hahaha.

I don't think we liked Skypeia very much.

If you're into us roasting stuff, this might be the one to listen in on.

Bit late but now that I've caught up here's my 2 cents I guess. I've always liked Skypiea but never knew why until going back to reread it and it really was just Eneru existing. I just love the hedonistic bastard and I'm really glad he was the only one I remembered and really sad that I had to see Whyper? again. As far as what the theme for the arc being the only answer that comes to mind is I guess is too much greed causes pain. There was the king from Noland's country wanting the city of gold, the Skypieans taking the upper yard from the Shandians and of course the personification of greed himself Eneru who takes what he wants not for evil but to satisfy his own ego. Which ends with Eneru finally being denied what he wanted for once and being unable to punish Luffy the offender as he is hit with a giant ball of gold for the finishing blow before flying away like a sore loser. But the fact that he does go to the moon is very funny. As for Chopper losing immediately after his win is I think chopper suffers from the worf effect. Chopper just cannot win any fight of consequence. While yes he did beat someone on Drum island and the 2 agents in Alabasta , but the first one was his intro arc and the second was a tag team with Usopp. Just Chopper alone too my memory does not win any fights of consequence, and I say this because of the next arc, in his right mind. As for the foxy arc Luffy accepting to me feels 100% in character. Luffy puts his crew in danger all the time wanting to go to the most dangerous places because it'd be fun. And immediately after accepting he gets hit by Usopp and at least in my translation Luffy's reply is 'it's fine we just gotta win' which he believe his crew will do without question. I also am a believer even now that we are getting into the final arc that the davy back fight will get some sort of call back. It feels like such a specific creation that Oda will either forget about or has been pulling our leg for hundreds of chapters because he just does that.

As long as you're not one of those people who think this arc can be skipped we are good.

Late to the conversation on this, but I'll defend Zoro v. Wyper Pistol guy jsut a little. It's an opponent for Zoro that isn't another swordsman, and I like his skillset of making clouds to grind on and shooting light flashes. The fight is also another Daz Bones scenario where Zoro has to learn a new skill, namely ranged combat, which does come up later for other flying enemies. There's a *little* bit of set-up for Zoro realizing he sucks at fighting ranged opponents, but not as much as him learning to cut steel. That all said, the dude could have been combined with the other priest dude Zoro fights, and Zoro developing he air slashes doesn't mean much because he just does it after deciding he can. It falls into the issue of swordsmen in One Piece slowly becoming a weird wizard class that can do anything so long as a sword is involved. It would have been far more interesting if Zoro had to be more tactical with the fight and develop speed to close the distance or trap his opponent by paying attention to the environment, rather than saying "I can do ranged slashes now." Maybe they could have taken him out of the arc for a bit by having the light flashes literally blind him and that's scary as fuck because he's alone in a land he doesn't know where one wrong step could literally send him falling back to earth and he needs Chopper to fix his eyes. It also would have set up good precedent of Zoro not always needing to fight a swordsman.
