The Sacred Burning Beast of Baldimore

Oh my god One Piece, what are you even--Franky and Brook's stories are terrifying. Like, Franky's hilarious and badass but also terrifying, because it makes you think, oh my god how did he do all that by himself without any proper tools and it blows my mind to even start figuring it out. I'm a little sad it looks like they're going to make it so he ( Read more... )

I suppose a bounty increase would defeat the purpose of lying low, but damn. Franky deserves credit for that! Maybe he'll get it later on.

He amuses me so though. "I'm gonna live here - I'll store my cola in your house though."

Brook's situation makes me chuckle and go D8 all at the same time. Because a freak show is cruel. But... then he's just so casual about it all. WHICH IS ALSO SAD, but then the way he does it takes some of the edge off. The man was just reading a newspaper.

The real cincher is that he's probably thin enough to just walk through those bars.

It makes me sad that the majority of the fandom doesn't even notice how awesome Franky is being right now ._. Blarrrrrgh character bias.

I half wonder just how fully aware Brook is of the situation. He's kind of surrounded by people, but hey, his music affects people now! I'm hoping he'll put them to sleep and get away because D=

Franky totally belongs on the Fridge Horror page now. Oh my god he had to replace his gums I am still not over or remotely okay with that. How do you even. Just. /barf

Oda has this distinct pattern of including completely horrible content in the series without ever having to go on about it at length. Like Usopp being negative (AHAHA that's funny wait no it fucking isn't D:), or Brook laughing hysterically before having a happy chat about spending years wanting to die, or OH MY GOD TERMINATOR!FRANKY MAKES MY ENTIRE SKIN HURT, or...you know, pretty much every single antagonist in all of Thriller Bark. We didn't need a million pages of detailed Hogback/Cindry squick, we didn't need an extended "btw Franky looked like raw meat for a while there, have some art :D" sequence, and we didn't need to see what went on during that somewhat unsettling 35-year flashback gap after Brook started getting weird ( ... )

Literal Fridge Horror, yohohoho. Seriously if he's not on the page yet he needs to be put on. That's terrifying to think about.

Yeah, Oda's mastery of showing exactly enough to terrify you not only makes for better storytelling but leaves great opportunity for nerds like us to speculate or write fanfics or just go vomit. Noodle Incidents are always the best at capturing your imagination.

Ugh ugh ugh I would be so okay if we never saw either of them again. I don't even want to see them again if they die at the end, I want them to vanish into the ocean and be forgotten because I cannot handle more of that ridiculous skeevery that they bring with them.

I can't help the puns anymore. |D But yeah, he does, fridge jokes and all.

Noodle Incidents are always the best at capturing your imagination.

For good or for (violently) ill. Also yesss the speculation and fics and the like are awesome fun with a setup like this, because you know? If you want to go wallow in what you're pretty sure is behind that creepy narrative door for a while, you can, and then you can leave and close the door and go back to canon and the door is still closed. Or at least it's closed just enough that you don't have to look inside again until and unless you really feel like it ( ... )
