oh they mention H2S its a pretty toxic gas low concentrations of it can cause irritation in eyes nose and/or throat it also smells like rotten eggs high concentrations can knock you out, cause respiratory arrest, and even death. Its flammable like in the anime and if its liquified you can get frostbite from it touching you.

Heartless

I think the worst part about this arc that the anime draaaaaaaaaaaaags out is the mooks being fucking morons.

Okoga

it's 100% law i've never heard of anyone thinking it was monet

marlanes

Ok what? You can hear the sound of law using his powers just before the note arrives, monet has no motive to help chopper; what are you on about?

Damoniil

regarding the note chopper receives: it's still being debated whether it was law or monet, but the most people incline towards monet for, uh, reasons (spoliers).

I had fun with this arc on my original run. But I’ve noticed I’m far easier to please also.

OscarGrump

I think it’s more about execution and pacing than anything because Caesar Clown can be a genuinely menacing villain on his own; sorta like early Buggy. There should have been more time spent on Caesar’s unhinged obsession with chemical weapons and the inhumane “experiments” he conducts to develop and fund them instead of the far less interesting Cool Brothers and Vergo.

To be fair, Oda didnt plan haki since the start, it was something that came up later to make things hard for luffy. He uses the concept of 'exoanded lore', where he can take ANYTHING dont yet used and make it important. Since a little reward like the bracelet of luffy becoming imoortant to buggy, or a piece of paper gave from a friend to nami, EVEN small stuff at the start of the series can become important later since tjose dont have further explanation, so Oda can take them and make them important and super relevant And yes. Usssop would be using hard haki without knowing, which is also cannon, since we saw Coby doing something like that too, feeling the pain of EVERYONE in the war at marineford, so it is kinda possible that ussop used the "prediction" part from observation haki without realizing and for him was just "making things up", which considering that ussop is based on Gulliver's tales, kinda makes sense, and that was BEFORE haki was on Oda's mind, since he predicted the giant golden fish and that happened even before arabasta and the oroginal ending of onepiece was supposed to be skypiea, so anything before that was part of the original 'lies" that become truth for ussop, and that become part of the trope for ussop, where ALL of his 'lies' are actually 'predictions' without realizing it And for nami's punches, Oda joke about it saying she punches luffy with fist of love, just like Garp does, and that garp dont use haki on luffy, that ir came from the heart and thats why he got beaten but not actually 'hurt' by her because he knows she meant good But that would be for armament haki, which is for fun, her observstion haki is basically canon on how she always know the westher changes beforehand

Faroth

Nami has always had a weird feeling for weather phenomenon. Vivi said its like she uses her whole body to sense weather. Once Smiley transformed maybe he became a weather problem

Cole Savoie

Its generaly accepted that Punk Hazard is mid. People also think that about fishman island though. All in all there are some cool moments, interesting lore and fun to be had but the villains are not up to the One Piece standard leaving the arcs mostly forgetable

Cole Savoie

Yeah... no, that's just Oda being cheeky. Predicting the future that far ahead isn't "soft levels of Haki", that's higher level Haki than fucking Shanks at that point, so it makes no sense. As for Nami, it's obvious the beatings are simply comic relief and not meant to mean she has Haki. How can we tell? Every time pre-timeskip that Luffy gets hit with Haki, he's always shocked to actually be feeling pain and they make a big deal out of it. But he never says anything when Nami beats him up. He's basically just playing along because he's a goof ball

HappyDoodads

About how Nami was able to notice the smoke before anyone else, my theory isn’t Haki, but rather that she has a “navigator’s instinct,” and so she might have been able to pick up on a change in the wind that led to her turning around.

Aseel Bukhari 🇸🇦🇵🇸

Honestly, we all know the reason that Brook was running that slowly was because, as usual, he just wanted to be included!

Smiling_Jack

I think you're right Alicia, Brooke is slowing down to keep pace with everyone else. But that's because he's LONELY! T_T He can't die! The poison won't affect him! The only thing he can do is stay by his friends. Also, as I understand it, Haki is a spiritual /willpower thing. Not a physical body thing. Good guess, tho. As someone here rightfully pointed out: SANJI used his Observation Haki while in NAMI's body. So clearly it's gonna be the same the other way around ^^' The body is not a factor, the "person" is. And finally, Keep making theories about Devil Fruits. The people in the One Piece Universe don't understand how they work! We are not expected to know more. There is *some* wacky stuff we know about. Like how Vegapunk has figured out how to get inanimate object to "eat" Devil Fruits. We also know they they grow on trees like normal fruits. In fact, ALONGSIDE normal fruit on the SAME tree. Because that is what happened with Chopper. Chopper's backstory is always a good one to remember when it comes to remembering the BASICS of Devil Fruits.

DaniDeFig

That doesn't make the character himself deep. The concepts surrounding the arc yes, but Hordy himself no.

Santi

Maybe he will show up layer, i mean, his haki and logia fruit are super powerful, and the 'true' entrance for the sky islands is supposed to be in the land of the giants. So maybe oda will make him appear again later on, specially since i havr a theory about aliens and spaceships that can be related with the skypiea myth and enel wanting to go to the moon, lets remember, originally onepiece was supposed to be ending in skypiea, so there are all the clues to the end of the anime, since haki (mantra) and other powers that are spoilers for now

Faroth

In case you didn't notice by now, Smiley was the devil fruits user. It's a slime that ate the Amphibian Fruit Model Axolotl.

King of flames

Yes, the cool brothers are, for me, the lamest and most disappointing characters ever made in One Piece. We didn't even see their face, that's how much they matter XD. As for pacing, while this arc suffers a lot from the anime pacing, I think the whole arc plot was a bit dragged with unnecessary stuff. It could've honestly been cut off in half in both anime and manga and it would've still worked.

leviathan_13

Something that was revealed in the Manga but completely skipped in the Anime, Smiley was a devil fruit user, the manga had an info box showing it but the anime just skipped that leaving the viewers confused as to where the devil fruit came from, the apple in the sled was smiley's fruit being reborn the moment Smiley had passed, which was the intended reveal for the readers, the anime just fucked it up massively.

TheGodofCruelty

Probably gave the fruit to move it easier, and he didnt fave the fruit again, since the poison is no longer 'alive', a d for how they describe it, giving an not living thing a fruit takes an special process, not just putting the fruit on it, on this case, such fruit in the slide would be destroyed and reappeared somewhere else or just let there to retrieve later, we dont know if thise fruits can be destroyed by the poison 🤔 maybe that was another experiment by itself to answer that question

Faroth

If Ceasar released a gas called Shikanoko, that would make him a true villain.

DocteurNS

The whole arc is already a bit slow, but the Cool Brothers really killed the pacing, eh? In fact... it's the only thing they ever managed to kill!

DocteurNS

4:27 im so sorry - this just reminded me of an old 80's drug PSA where this guy literally turned into a snake monster with the same voice & everything & it made me lmao but mainly due to a certain internet famous guy i will not name who i once rly liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WBc396ifbk

Yagi di Hoshi

Smiley had the axolotle fruit and when he ate the candy he died the fruit then found a new host in the apple

Leonheart009

Haki is a spiritual thing. Also, remember, EVERYONE can learn to use Observation and Armament Haki. Only Conqueror's Haki is unique.

Anzac-A1

No, that's just a joke they use.

Anzac-A1

what makes less sense is how he was able to use the skywalk thing in Namis body which makes no sense as isnt it described as "body technique" thing that you can kick so fast that you can walk on air but nami is definately not strong enough to do that...

Burni

Yeah i know, thats exactly my point. I wish he had died so his fruit would've been reborn, its a cool Logia so it being in play would've been sick. Instead dude is off chilling with space racooons or some shit

Lewd Angel

Imagine, what if Brownbeard became part of the crew here? Lmao

Most Sane Oreimo Fan

Nah mate, Nami got that Advanced CoC for sure to be doing that to Luffy lol

Most Sane Oreimo Fan

I've never liked the theory that Nami's ability to read the weather is some form of observation haki. It's cooler to me if she does it WITHOUT haki. If it's just haki, that somehow feels less impressive to me. XD But it's not THAT big a deal to me either way.

Lexi

As is said by others, it is theorized that nami can uncounsciously use observation haki to navigate, so she can feel danger in sea and sky, and use that information to be a better navigator, so here, she felt the change in tje sir by the gas pushing over, so she quicly noticed something is wrong It is also theorized the same for ussop using OH to aim and make lies that end up being true because when he think of something to lie about, his mind make him 'see' something far away or even in the future, like the time when we meet him in his island, he told tales about an island made of a fish poop of a golden fish because it was massive, and in little gatden, when they leave the island, there was a massive golden fish, and nico robin offered them once an eternal pose to an island that isnt marked because isnt an island but an accumulation of such fish poop solidief by sea currents in a single place. Also, he predicted his 1st bounty when luffy gets his after beating arlong, 30 million beri, he said that he was in the poster, so that this was his 1st bounty, and after enies lobby, the 1st bounty for ussop is 30 million beri (it was sogeking's ☝️🤔 but the point remains) he even predicted in his island that he would be s brave warrior of the sea and that songs will be song about him, and at water7, in the paryy, everyone was singing the "sogeking's" songs At this point, without knowing it, nami and ussop did used soft levels of haki... also, the 'love' punches of nami are theorized to be armament haki, since he can beat the hell out of luffy, sanji, zoro and everyone in the crew... lets admit something, luffy is the captain of the crew, but nami is the captain of the ship

Faroth

Okay so this assumes Smiley had a devil fruit which if he did considering he is a rare slime creature it would have to be the Axolotl fruit. I that's the case why did Caesar give him the fruit again and why did it not turn him back into an axolotl.

Gamer Kane

It wasnt random, it was Smiley's devil fruit, whrn he died, the fruit reborn in the closes 'assigned' fruit of the class, so in this case, the closest apple, which is why caesar make sure the slide has some on it in a deserted island without vegetation, so they can retieve the fruit later for use it again, since he learned to apply ot to non living stuff from vegapunk, like the elephant sword in ennies lobby, which is how he make smiley alive in the first place It wasnt random, it was planned

Faroth

Not in the anime, but in the manga there is a special arc when is confirmed that enel didnt died and it actually reach his goal to go to the moon, where he find out there are 2 races of people living there, some are old robots who he bring live again with hisnlightning and others are called lunarians and i think the world government tryed to extermunate that race because they are too strong (starting by the fact that they can fly) and are the original sky-people that later on become the skypieans (have wings but cannot fly) Idk if oda will make him appear again in the future, as Alicia said = no corpse, not dead

Faroth

I think the devil fruit was Smiley's devil fruit, which is why he was 'weak' to water, and Caesar said 'bye' to smiley after he diggested the candy, so that probably killed it to make it become the poison wave/gass, and then his devil fruit reappeared in the world... probably also explains how Caesar give 'life' to the densified gas, since it was Vegapunk who discovered how to give devil fruits to inanimated objects (like the elephant-sword in enies lobby or the cannon-dog) and caeaar was his apprentice, so he probably know how to do that

Faroth

That, in itself, is a deep concept.

sixfish11

it's left as something to be figured out through context clues. all the memes made people forget how "well written" one piece is. You get enough context clues for how the SLIME had a fruit by ENIES LOBBY and you get EXTRA clues even past this arc about how devil fruits manifest. the issue is most people will binge it and not pay attention to all of it, or spend so long as a weekly enjoyer that they never go back and re-enjoy an arc. EVERY STORY LIKE EVERY GAME THAT'S MADE WELL GETS BETTER A SECOND TIME. it's her first time but she's pretty sharp.... SPOILER AHEAD BUT I'm waiting patiently the 6- 9 months it will take for her to realize she has lowkey praised Hitlers work unintentionally ヽ(冫、)ノ (If ya get the joke ya get it)

Easy Mode - A.I

There a kind of metanarrative depth to Hody being so hollow, funnily enough. Kinda cool in the greater story, even if he's pretty lame in a vacuum haha.

Mickey Muscalli

Have to hard disagree about the whole "Fishman Island villains had depth" tbh. The entire point of Hordy was the exact opposite, he lacked any depth at all as a villain. He was just an empty shell that became a product of racism.

Santi

It hasn't not in the anime or manga, I think this is an aspect that oda has overlooked in his story or waiting for BB to explain but as of now it isn't a spoiler and more of a common fan agreement of how it works.

Spicy Noodles

Every Devil fruit has a corresponding regular fruit, when a df user dies their fruit is reborn into the nearest corresponding fruit. We understand this because there is a df encyclopedia in the story which was brought up in enies lobby when kaku and the chick ate their dfs. Its never explained in the anime and is more show not tell(which I dont get considering OP is notorious for breaking down simple aspects of the story so why not this one which is a bit more complex to understand off details alone?)

Spicy Noodles

Yea as people have said the anime does a poorer job of explaining it, but TLDR Smiley died when he consumed the candy, and his devil fruit reincarnated elsewhere (in this case, the apples the cronies left behind). Its the series' way of confirming what happens to users DF's once they die, they'll just reappear elsewhere. Blackbeard was a unique case, it is still impossible for anyone else to have two fruits. Unrelated, but this again reminded me why i hate Skypiea so much. Enel should've died at the end of that arc and his fruit should've been reincarnated somewhere on the seas. For one, that would've been a way cooler way to depict DF reappearance, for another it would've made a sick power relevant in the story again.

Lewd Angel

Heeeeyyyy, I'm not the only one sick

UndeadNovaKing 0

Nami can obviously use Haki (subconsciously) because her punches hurt Luffy xD

Cvillain626

The thing about the fruit never gets explained in the anime so I'll explain it here: so smiley was a condensed deadly gas that consumed the zoan sala-sala (salamander) fruit: model axolotl, when he ate the candy it did 2 things, killing smiley and changing the chemical composition of the condensed poison to create an even deadlier poison, when smiley died, his devil fruit was instantly reborn, they had the apples there to ensure that the devil fruit was reborn within the island (the Island being uninhabitable and devoid of plants, those were the only fruits available for the devil fruit to be reborn), effectively ensuring that they are able to conserve the fruit

Rick Baron

The fact that Sanji can use his obh(observation haki) in Namis body either proves that haki isn't a biological thing, or that Nami has obh. Remember back between Little Garden and Drum Kingdom when Nami got sick? Vivi said, "It's like using her whole body to navigate." wtf is that if not obh described by a non-obh user? and if you don't think our crew could use Haki back then, how did Zoro cut steal with steal, unless he somehow made his swords harder than steal with idk ... ARMERMENT HAKI!!!????? :3

mustofolys

It's been a long standing theory that Nami does have some latent skill with Observation Haki. While it isn't fully unlocked, and she only uses it subconsciously, it's theorized that's part of what helps her be so damn good at noticing the most subtle shifts in weather and predict it so accurately. Get well soon Alicia!

Seraphem

I think it can be inferred from just the information given in the anime even though the fruit isn’t named. When I first saw it, I thought that’s what it was & I have never read the manga. It’s never directly explained though if I’m not mistaken.

Xenoaedriac

First Sharley, now Brownbeard Alicia has no chill XD

Rej

Wait, is that ever explained? I don't recall it being explained

Tigerguy

watching back on this I can't help but wonder if law was just staring at chopper the whole time like "you're not hidden at all"

Easy Mode - A.I

In the manga Smiley was introduced in an Odabox as having the Sala Sala Fruit: Model Axolotl. So Alicia was right on there

ChaosSepher

Vergo sounds like Velcro

ChaosSepher

Unfortunately Smiley having a Devil Fruit is *never* explained in anime because they neglected to include that information that was presented in an Odabox in the manga and is never brought up otherwise.

ChaosSepher

look back to blackbeards crew before sky island and the scene at marine ford. is as strong as the "he didn't eat the rubber fruit" theory from back then.

Easy Mode - A.I

Ok, why "spoiling" what will be explained in due time in the show?

ZackdasBohne

Keep in mind the 'nearest viable fruit' has not been confirmed by OP or Oda. Its still a fan theory regarding fruit respawns.

Roto

That was Smiley’s Devil Fruit since he died from the candy. That’s the first time we’ve seen a how Devil Fruits reproduce.

Xenoaedriac

Vergo's character gag still confuses me to this day. The stuff sticking to his face is fine, but him misremembering things is so strange. Maybe it's a callback/reference to something Japanese I just don't know

Erica Wilder Boulter

To make it as clear cut as possible ONLY Black Beard can use two devil fruits, likely because his ability literally draws everything into it and that devil fruit was not planned by Caesar it was a random occurrence.

Gamer Kane

I do believe the reason Brooke didn't run faster than everyone there is because he didn't want to leave everyone behind and be the only one to survive, again.

Scrubthulhu

Soldier hitting a METAL GATE: Damn, it's solid as rock!

Kaz

People can't have two devil fruits, that is a Blackbeard exclusive. The only explanation or hint we have as to why is from Marco at Marineford saying his body is not like a normal person's.

Scrubthulhu

My take here is Caesar probably used a devil fruit to give life to Smiley, and it went to one of the apples after he killed it with the candy( notice how Smiley started to melt down before his eyes were gone)

Lucas Prestes

Caecar Clown's laugh is really funny in 2x speed

H

Hope you feel better soon and there is a lot of re-cap it was also since the anime was closer to the manga so that happens a lot for awhile especially next arc

Icy

I still remember having a conniption over a Dressrosa episode being literally over half recap

Scrubthulhu

Alicia you are gonna need to start reacting to 3 episodes soon since the recap takes like a third of an episode

Miroslav Radev

Smiley is a poison gas that 'ate' the Axolotl Devil Fruit. Eating the giant candy killed it, so the Devil Fruit re-appeared in the nearest viable fruit, a nearby apple.
