Were the people of Whiskey Peak entitled to hunt whale meat to address their food shortage?
I might be more sympathetic if the people of Whiskey Peak weren't a bunch of Baroque Works agents luring bounties. But I agree that Sanji's hand wave on the whaling debate was interesting. I would rather have seen a strong stand against it, but that would be odd coming from a guy who wants to go to the seafood ocean.
Has your view of Nami mellowed, or do you still have issues with her?
Not really. I like that she stopped the boys' fighting with a single punch, and I agree with her about the nonsense of the giants' purposeless battle, but her avarice is unattractive, as is her manipulation of Sanji.
There is a running joke in the Miss Wednesday/Karoo/Zoro fight early in the volume that the Viz translation almost completely missed, which makes me very sad, because it is freaking hilarious.
OMG, they did totally miss it. For #1, the Viz translation has "Don't just wag your tail...MOVE IT!!" Gah.
Honestly, I remember almost nothing of the One Piece episodes I saw broadcast. A bit of Nami's backstory (but nothing of Nojiko). I didn't recall Miss Vividay at all, but I recognized Karoo. And I know her kingdom is a desert kingdom? And Chopper...would commenting on Chopper stuff here be considered spoilery? I think I remember the most about Chopper, but I could discover that I remember it all wrong once we finally get to those bits. No memories of Buggy or Smoker or Arlong. Or Mihawk or the guy they fought off the Baratie. Yeah, if you had asked me to recount One Piece from memory before I started reading it, it would have been something like "Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates. He ate a devil fruit so he's stretchy but can't swim. He abuses a nerdy kid so the marines will let the nerdy kid join them. Chopper!" And then, thanks to Japan 2011 TV-watching...SPOILERS.
