We Are! (Watching One Piece)

A recap of the Baroque Works / Alabasta Saga! We breeze through a few arcs and lots of big fights to catch back up to Skypiea. We also meet two new Straw Hats and Luffy's brother! We love that rubber boy.

Time to change the entire format of the show! Before that, we're recapping everything we've covered so far. This week: East Blue. After Alabasta next week, we'll be doing regular weekly episodes! Now's a great time to hop on this giant adventure if there ever will be one!

We're back and in a new arc! Nami's log pose points straight up! The mysterious Blackbeard has been spotted! A thousand other things happen too.

The end of the Alabasta Arc is upon us! Everyone is fighting, Vivi is sad, people seem like they die and don't, and we cry over how good One Piece is.

Jory and Jo arrive at Alabasta! We learn of Vivi's past, Crocodile's plans, and meet Ace!! This is the FIRST time we've split an arc so hopefully it works out for the show, because these arcs get long.

Jo saw the most recent One Piece movie! They really liked it! This is their review of the film and the extra materials that set up for it.

Jory and Jo are both in snowy, below zero degree states right now so what better island to visit than Drum Island!! We meet our new son, Tony Tony Chopper, and cry a lot.

Jory and Jo recap and discuss the first two arcs of the Alabasta Saga: Whiskey Peak and Little Garden! A bunch of stuff happens, we learn the plot and villian covering the next 100 or so episodes, and Jo tries not to explode out of excitement

After a time-skip worth of a break, Jo and Jory finally discuss Loguetown and Reverse Island! This was recorded so long ago you can hear us discussing Crystal Pepsi when it was relevant (the second time). See you on the Grand Line!

Jory and Jo discuss the Arlong Park arc, potentially the biggest deal in the East Blue Saga. We learn Nami's sad, sad backstory, and talk about One Piece being really good.
