Watching “One Piece” For The First Time (Part 6): Impel Down Through Marineford | Column from the Editor

Last year, I started watching “One Piece,” and I started documenting my journey getting through the show on InReview’s TikTok page. You can watch my previous batch of “One Piece” TikToks here. This batch goes from the show’s Impel Down arc through the end of its Marineford arc. I’m just starting the first few episodes after the show’s two-year timeskip.

My thoughts on the show’s Impel Down arc:

My thoughts on Impel Down, the notorious prison in the world of the show:

“One Piece” take: Impel Down isn’t a very good prison without its location. #onepiece #theonepieceisreal #monkeydluffy #impeldown #ivankov #newkamaland

My thoughts on the big risk series creator Eiichiro Oda took during the Summit War arc, in which protagonist Monkey D. Luffy is separated from his crew, and he has to find new allies:

My thoughts on how quietly pivotal Galdino A.K.A. “Mr. 3” was at Marineford:

A hot take: Luffy and company should have lost the Going Merry at Marineford and they got the Thousand Sunny too soon in the story:
