I wouldn't make a post like this, but after this arc, I just had to:
1) The beginning was the same as all arcs, they get there, they sight see, then find smth strange, something or someone is missing, and some confusion when new chars appear, or after that. But this arc, is just so good like honestly, When they told us about sanji's wedding, I was kinda happy, cuz I always thought he'd end up with nami, maybe cuz I don't really like nami that much tho, and when they showed pudding I was so happy for Sanji, but when they said Luffy would be under big mom after the marriage, I was hoping that Sanji would actually marry pudding, and then pudding would run away with Sanji to the sunny, and Luffy would say “I WILL NEVER BE UNDER YOU, BIG MOM!!!”, and he'd still sail with her daughter, but one piece don't really put the MCs in a relationship that quickly, so def, that wouldn't happen. And when pudding turned out to be bad, I felt SOOO sorry for Sanji, and when Sanji went to give Luffy food at the promised place, Luffy was SOOO skinny, and he looked poor, and I don't like seeing poor ppl look hungry or sad, so I also felt bad for Luffy, however that was he's decision, and he was so grateful for the food, even though it was wet, and somewhat messy, but he still enjoyed it to the fullest, and that's a reason why One Piece is my best anime. And when It came to the wedding and sanji's family(The Germa) where fighting for sanji's chance to run away, tbh, even tho I'm aware of what they did to Sanji, I honestly thought that eventually, at the end, Germa 66 would be under "The Straw Hat Pirates", but sadly(for me) that wasn't the case, but at least sanji got the raid suit before they left so that's good
2) SH Luffy Vs Katakuri:
I could have included this in the one above, but the fight was so good I wanted to make it a completely different part. So after this fight Katakuri is my fav OP villain, not only bc of his powers and behavior, but also bc of his morales and how he respects those that are close to him in strength. Now in the beginning of the fight, ngl, all that was on my mind was "The Fight" itself, and Gear 4:Snakeman, cuz I've been looking forward to that form since I know gear 4 has 3 versions, and I've seen the other two, so all that was left was Snakeman, infact bc of the fight I barely read what was happening outside the mirror world, I mean, when they were showing Sanji, I did read it, but when they were showing the sunny, that was the one I barely read, I did read the "Su long" part, and when Big mom was chasing them, but aside from those 3 things, I just basically skipped the pages that were not in the mirror world. When Luffy thought, he could win with regular G4, I was just expecting the next, cuz I already assumed Snakeman would appear in this arc, so I just kept on reading.
Honestly speaking, I love what Katakuri did when his dumb, strangely fat sister was tampering with he fight, and when they were calling Luffy a "baby lamb" trying to get up, I was hoping Katakuri would hit her head or smth, now, Luffy don't care about what they be saying, so I was even happy that kata(Katakuri for short), showed his own teeth for them to laugh at him as well, and then they continued their fight, with kata seeing Luffy as his equal.
The fight goes on until kata tells Luffy get back up and endure, and that's when HE appeared.... “GEAR 4: SNAKEMAN”, and I have to ask, I've said this in a previous post(not mine), that does the cloud effect appear on someone when they have awakened their df? @Atlas D. Aeradon , but I'm sure Luffy didn't awaken it then and there so that would not be the case, and snake man is faaasssst!, I think my fav technique is “Gomu Gomu Black mamba”, Idk, I don't have a fav technique, but for some reason, I like that technique.
After kata fell on his back(intentionally) I like the respect Luffy showed, by putting his second hat on his face after he passed out...
I was pretty sad when Sanji and pudding had to separate, but they had to, but I hope when Sanji retires, he goes to marry pudding immediately!. So over all it was a good arc, infact a great one, bc they declared Luffy to be the fifth emperor of the sea, and they just added a billion to his normal bounty. Btw, I like the way Luffy told jinbe that “We'll wait for you in wano! You must come!!!”, then I remembered that, "hey, I've seen this exact phrase somewhere before” @Fusion D King
