Alright, so chapter two is called, they call him Straw Hat Luffy.
I don't know who to say because they haven't really gone too far in the chapter.
We're in the series.
So it pretty much picks up where the first one left off.
Luffy's on his dinghy on the middle of the ocean and he's like, man, I guess my adventures
as quickly as it started, it's about to end because he's about to get sucked into a whirlpool.
He's like, well, I can't swim.
And even if I could, I'd probably drown anyway from the whirlpool.
So that's it for my adventure.
And then it just cuts off from there and then moves over to the next section of the story.
So you don't find out what happens to him.
So it jumps to this uncharted island and there's a boat anchored right next to the island.
And it's got a masthead of a duck and the flag is like a side profile, not like face
to face, but like to side.
And there's a heart in the middle of the flag and like the crossbones.
And you find out that it's a base of operation for this pirate named Iron Mace Alveda.
And she's just that typical trope of just like that tyrannical captain of the pirate
crew or a gang or whatever.
She's just that mean, what you'd expect of a stereotypical pirate.
Yeah, basically just mean.
She expects her whole ship clean.
If they don't clean it, she beats the hell out of them with her Iron Mace.
And she has this whipping boy named Kobe who she asks.
She's basically like the, she does that like the mirror thing where like who's the fairest
of them all.
And she asked Kobe and Kobe's like, you are Alveda.
And the only way she lets Kobe know that the only reason she has him around is because
he knows in-depth knowledge of the sea, apparently.
I guess he knows how to chart and whatnot.
So that's the only reason she keeps him around.
She kicks him in the face and leaves.
It was like I got to insult the injury.
Just kicks him clean in the face and walks off.
So a little bit later, Kobe finds a barrel that washed ashore.
He thinks they're rummining it because it's heavy and it sounds like there's something
inside.
So he will, he rolls it over to one of the cabins and there's three pirates there and
no one else is around.
So they're like, oh, let's get it inside and we'll drink it.
Kobe's like, you sure we should do that because if Alveda finds out, she's going to be real
mad and they threatened him that as long as she doesn't know, right?
Because there's no one there.
It's just the three of them and Kobe.
You know, you're not going to tell her, right, Kobe?
He's like, no, of course not.
And so they're about to open the barrel and Al from fucking, damn, I shouldn't have said
the F word.
Trying to be more friendly.
Al pops Luffy from the barrel.
He's like, awesome.
Like he just came out from a nap.
So basically you find out that Luffy survived the whirlpool in a barrel.
So that's a little bit different than what they did with the live action where they were
out at sea at the time.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Actually, the live action followed the anime a little bit because in the anime it all happened
out on the ship where Alveda and her pirates had just taken another ship captured and they
were taking all their supplies, all the people hostage because they kind of play more into
the pirate thing, you think of, you know, ship capturing.
So it did follow at least the anime though.
Yeah.
So Alveda hears someone, cause she heard like, that was such a great nap I had, cause Luffy
would yell that out like at the top of his lungs.
So she throws her mace into the building and it decimates the whole building and it knocks
out all three of the guys, the pirates and Koby and Luffy just disappear.
And she's mad because like, who's taking a nap?
Like, well you should be taking a nap right now cause she's that tyrannical.
And they're like, it wasn't us, it was an intruder that Koby wheeled in.
So now she's mad at Koby and she's looking for this intruder.
So it cuts to Luffy and Koby, they're talking and Luffy finds out that Koby, basically the
reason Koby got captured at all and became a cabin boy is what they call him in Alveda's
crew is because he got on the wrong ship cause he wanted to go fishing.
I don't know how you get them on a pirate ship.
And so he's been there for like in two years or something.
And Luffy's like, that sucks.
Anyway, for me, and Luffy tells him that he wants to be the king of the pirates.
That's his dream.
Cause Koby asked him, you ever had a dream, something you want to do with your life?
And he's like, yeah, king of the pirates.
Cause Koby think that's crazy cause it's the golden age of pirates here right now.
Everyone's looking for a Roger's treasure.
This is the first time they call it the one piece.
Right.
Like Roger's treasure, the lost one piece.
And he's like, yeah, I'm gonna find it.
And like he also, you need the wealth, fame and power of the three things.
And everyone has to bow to you all this to be the king of the pirates.
And it would be impossible because there's like hundreds of pirates to vying for the
treasure and Luffy's like, that's fine.
Basically, yeah.
He's like, as long as I follow my dream, even if I die trying to achieve my dream, I'm happy
because I was trying to achieve it.
Like he would suck if he died doing something else.
Right.
So him saying that to Koby finally like hits a switch in Koby.
Koby's like, you know, like living in fear and not a fear of death, but not doing what
you want to do in life is more fearful than going on and getting what you want and failing
or whatever.
Right.
So Koby's like, basically he said that all he wants to do is be a Marine.
He wants to be in the Navy and he wants to be, you know, he captured the bad guys like
Alveda and that's all he wants to do in life.
And of course, Alveda pops in right as he says that and she's about to attack Luffy
and she's yelling at Koby and she tells Koby like, all right, Koby, who's the fairest woman
in all the land?
And for some reason, Luffy calls her an old bitty.
Like those are the letters.
I'm like, a bitty?
What's a bitty?
Did you ever look it up?
No, what's a bitty?
Is it an old woman?
So coming out of Luffy's mouth, bitty, I was like, that's weird.
There's a lot of weird phrases.
It's a very insulting word.
Yeah.
It seemed like she was mad.
So Alveda asked Koby, who's the fairest of them all?
And Koby finally says, I've had enough.
You're an ugly old hag.
I can't stand you anymore.
And I'd rather die in living my truth than living or live in this lie or whatever.
Right.
And so she's about to cave in Scotland with the Iron Mace.
But Luffy jumps in, takes the hit for him.
He's made of rubber, so no damage whatsoever.
He hits her with the one-peat.
Like he's all hanged.
He's ready to eat for everybody.
So he socks her clean in the mouth and knocks her out.
And oh, I forgot that Luffy was looking for a dinghy.
So Koby had, he had made his little ship.
Like he's been making it for two years.
This really rickety ship.
And Luffy's like, this coffin?
Because he's looking for a ship.
So I need a ship.
You can have my ship.
And Luffy's like, no, this is the coffin.
And Elvira destroys his ship, his little like escape.
He was trying to escape all this time for two years.
So Luffy knocks him out and he's like, before that, I should have probably wrote this down.
They were worried that the intruder was the notorious pirate hunter.
And they name Roronorazolo because it's in the Manga in Zolo instead of Zoro.
But apparently in Japanese it's interchangeable.
So Zoro and Zolo are the same thing.
Because the O's and R's are changeable.
So they thought it was Roronorazolo, the legendary pirate hunter in the seas.
And they realized it's not him because I guess they know what he looks like or something.
And so after Koby and Luffy leave on the new dinghy, he's like, I guess I need to make
myself a pirate crew to follow the One Piece.
And Koby's like, you got to be careful because you got to travel the Grand Line.
And they call the Grand Line the pirate's graveyard.
And Luffy's like, that's fine.
That's where the One Piece is on the Grand Line.
So Luffy's like, that's okay.
I'll just get a really powerful crew.
I guess I'll start with this guy.
What's his name?
Roronorazolo?
Let's start with him.
He sounds cool.
And that's the end of chapter two, basically.
So you get basically, you get the name of the treasure, One Piece.
You get what it takes to be the king of the pirates, power, wealth, and fame, all of it
at the highest level.
You get the first indication of a crew member, Roronorazolo, or Zoro, as I'm going to call
him.
You get the name of the location, the Grand Line, the pirate's graveyard.
So you get quite a bit of interesting tidbits for a future that's a huge element to the
story in the future.
So just keep following me and I'll keep reading every chapter, even if I read it 20 minutes
before I start the podcast.
Now, when we start getting farther in, we might be doing multiples per podcast.
I'll probably be condensing them quicker or slower, all together, as the elements, especially
if it's like a battle that's happening continuously, I'll just condense the whole thing.
You can cover a couple of chapters at once.
Especially if it's like the same scene or something over and over again.
Because people, if we did this once per one chapter per week, it's going to be a big day.
We can do one chapter per day if you guys pay us.
Put it on Patreon.
Yeah, I'll do them all.
And don't worry, I'll organize them a little bit better because I should have probably
talked about Zolo before I talked about the end of the story.
And the ship of him and Kobe needing a ship to get out of.
You mean his coffin?
It looked rickety, I would not have put that thing on scene.
It probably came out as a double meaning.
It's a coffin because it's made out of cheap wood and stuff like that, but it's also a
coffin because it's going to be your death trap.
Yeah, it looked like a coffin.
He made it like, he didn't even have a base to it either.
It was just like wood nailed together.
So there's probably holes all over the bottom, where the wood doesn't connect to the other
wood, you know what I mean?
It looked horrendous.
I've never at least had, he could have made one of those log ones.
It's four or five logs next to each other.
Like a raft.
And then done the ship around the raft to make it the outer walls.
He just made it, he just started hammering wood together until it looked like a ship.
It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
It's bad whenever Luffy's original dinghy was built better.
It's bad when Luffy's, the brains.
He would have been like, oh, thank you.
And he would have tossed that thing into the ocean and gone off.
Him saying, that looks terrible.
And this is the most freedom loving person too.
This is the most like, aloof, I guess would be a good.
The most aloof, yeah, aloof.
The most aloof being in all of One Piece.
Hey, they can't beat our, they can't stop a planet if we never have one.
That's his motto.
So that's it, chapter two done and done.
Cool.
Anything else to add before we head out then?
No.
Hope you guys are ready for more One Piece.
Cool.
We will see you again on the next one.
Yes, excellent.
