Never forget that One Piece is a TEAM effort!

Yes, it's the world of Oda, but his assistants are one of the biggest factors for the success of the story !

I feel like hearing the words of Eiichiro Oda. This is making me so HYPE.

And so.. I can understand when people are mad because resistants are depicted as dying in the suits of their oppressors without names and without much depth..

I will not dive into a lot of details in order not to spoil the fun to much. I will just open doors.

Let's go back to the beginning. We start with a class struggle.

The city of Piltover is separated in two. The abundant upper city and the lower city, filled with toxic air.

Me, when One Piece fans tell me to stop politicizing stories
November 15, 2024 at 7:30 PM
The team and Toei have create something quite exceptionnal that I will remember for years.

Ishitani and her crew wrote the perfect Fan Letter to One Piece !

(Please, make a sequel 😳)

One Piece is made for EVERYONE and yes, a LARGE part of the fanbase are girls and women who also need - like us, men - strong representations.

Nami is one of them.

One Piece allows this and we feel all the love of Ishitani for the story in this masterpiece.

And finally, to end the puzzle.. What really shines is the importance of representation !

I don't think that it is a coincidence that this novel was adapted to depict the story of a yong girl by two women.

What really touched me as a fan, was this powerscaling discussions comparisons between the big Names

We all have favorites that we would fight to the end of days for, but it is what reunites us as fans!

And the fact that Sanji and Zoro are there, HILARIOUS!

The story of the brother was really something too ! It touched a nerve in me.

And the fact that the marine cares about the wellbeing of Luffy, simply because of a process of identification.. wow

This girl didn't ruin the plan of the Marines, she only ripped her letter to Nami. She let her brain speak and played a ruse.

She found what she seeked. Not Nami, but the resolve of freeing herself.

(The officer.. also saw Chopper... lol)

This is where she makes a choice and rips the letter appart.. letting the marine think that she stop their plans to pollute the sea..

Silence.. and we here Luffy say "set sails" (and I start to sob)

She finally sees her hero !

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER

Would it stop Luffy ? No
Would it stop Nami ? No

So why would it stop her ?

Helped by her glasses, she sneaks behinds him.. luring all the marines toward her. The light shining on her back!

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
She is now using all her might and brain, like Nami and rushes toward the polluting Marine ship.

Like Garp in front of Luffy in the paramount, the chopper loving marine officer stands before her. (Not really) ready to stop her !

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
The puzzle is lost. Her light is gone. She is about to watch the Strawhats sink before her eyes.

But.. like Nami, she is not alone anymore ! Others are rushing toward the ship too and they won't let the marines stop them!

Look at the light !

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
This time, the girl learns that her heroes will be sinked. Nami will die if the marines get their ways!

Observe the clear cut in the lighting on the girl's face. She is about to be broken, but she fights back..

Until she is crushed on the floor, without color

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
But of course, it's One Piece.. so we must get despair at some point..

The fascist marine arrives to snap the girl's arm. His hand twice as big as her size.

One again, instant desaturation of the colors and return to the shadows.

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER

From the dark, the girl runs toward the Sunny. The entire setting is filled with light and bright colors.

No details are visible beside Sunny !

Of course, it's the moment for our characters meet.

Which starts the second part of the second act, where the characters start to learn and trust eachothers.

The One Piece fan puzzle starts to form !

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
Until Luffy appears to bring the hope and light back !

This is a masterfull usage of color and lighting !

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER
November 15, 2024 at 7:13 PM
Lighting that takes a very important place in the entire story!

Here from worries.. to fear. The character left in the shadow..

A shadow that both characters won't really quit until...

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER

As for every Ishitani shows : Colors and lighting are the masters of storytelling!

A simple palette and we identify settings and moods:

- The hopefull bright pastel
- The orange dim lights, full of warmth
- The solid marine blue
- The desaturated war

There is a real work of research and design.

We can see that the girl knows the archipelago like her pocket.

Sabaody feels lived in ! And look at those colors !!!

🤍💙💚💛🧡❤️

It's very quick, but thankfully, Usopp intervene to cheer up the girl !

And it's another good thing about this episode, the strawhats all play a funny role in this.

Of course, Sanji and Zoro are laughingstocks of people there!

#ONEPIECEFANLETTER

But we are in the world of One Piece, so we are quickly reminded of the life of normal people in this world.
Some marines are fine, but there is a rotted and authoritarian core.

The anime clearly depicts the fear in the eyes of the ones who meet those fascists:
