pls this is stressing me out. They are playing hella dirty
This is literally how the real world is ... actually even more brutal. Oda tries to capture these real world issues. A lot of wars are from manipulation by a third party.
I wonder who the third party is hmmmmm...
it can be anything. Government, selfish indiviuals, corporations, etc, etc.. .
lmao imagine ur one of the soldiers dying early in the civil war only for the army to surrender
kohza's fine af
walmart version of kento nanami
Nanami is the Walmart version if koza
nah koza looks meh the more refined version is kento nanami <3
I agree but I only said it cause koza was introduced earlier than nanami🤷♀️
Well Koza was created first though. But I like both Koza and Nanami
What
damn kohza's hot
Yeah. Also he can easily adapt any situation. He was instantly ready to fight when Crocodile was behind Vivi.
So Luffy has been reduced to a plot device which is introduced only in the last couple of episodes of every arc to defeat the final boss. Shit is getting repetitive and boring.
It's 3rd time that the plan failed congratulations :)
And also someone splash some water on crocodile he will lose automatically
it's literally a desert where they are fighting a war for water, he can't lose in his turf
well...FFFFUCK
Baroque members pissing me off every time.
One time was the cannon and this time they shot kozha.
Its a bit unfortunate that the king wasn't clever enough to search his own ranks for the enemy (he knew the enemy wasn't the rebels themselves) to try and uncover the mystery foe.
USSOP SWALLOWED HIS SNOT😭😭
That was kinda predictable sadly.
FIGHT FAIR AND ON THE FRONT LINE!!
Enough of this cheap tricks croco boy is a shichibukai right couldn't he just take over by fighting
F for kohza
Done watching episode 1 to 119 and here I'am watching episode 120 right now
DAMMN PLEASE SOMEONE KILL THIS CROCODILE NOW IM TIRED😭😭😭
Idk if you guys noticed this but t's cool how we can skip to 2:05 to skip the opening since episode 1. But just do this if you're bored with the opening or just want to start watching.
Shit here we go again
wowowoow
I'm so annoyed with this "king" and the rebel army. Apparently they have millions of people worth of manpower, but they can't send a few to help clear out Yuba for the dry old man? Build a damn shelter for the sandstorm to protect their source of water?
Nobody questions why the logia sand fruit user doesn't just use his sand powers to fix the issue? It'd take him a few moments of his time.
Pathetic.
It's no wonder nobody trusts the king anymore. It's like America today, where the country is falling apart and food plants are being burned down mysteriously one by one, except we already know the government is corrupt and actively destroying the country. In this case we're led to believe the king is good, but criminal negligence is just as bad as active evil. It's aggravating as hell.
Oda doesn't really understand big numbers very well, don't read too much into it. There were obviously not 'millions' of people involved in this struggle, but 'several thousand'. That is the only way any of this makes sense lol. This isn't an uncommon thing by the way. A lot of people can't really comprehend the scale of very large numbers. But if you try and figure out the logistics of '2 million rebels' you quickly run into some glaring issues; how can the country sustain 2 million people period? They'd need a lot more land mass and way, way more rainfall. The cities would be massively bigger. Remember, rebel army would likely only be males of fighting age, so the real population of non-king-supporters is at least double 2 million, so we are looking at minimum 4 million rebels, and then the king's people would be presumably like millions as well. Safe to say it doesn't make any sense. I bet the country has no more than 100,000 people tops. This would be far more in line with the manga drawings and the anime as well. Also remember this is supposedly an island, albeit a larger one!
You make a great argument, and I'm willing to fully agree without exception, but for the sake of having some fun with the idea, let me propose a counter-argument.
The limitation might actually be the act of drawing the proper infrastructure, and representing millions of people through art. The level of technology and rainfall would not be enough to sustain even a few thousand people, let alone millions, so the question is what's more likely to be true considering the limitations Oda is facing: That the king, and those around him, do not understand the population density and technological level of their own island, or that Oda just can't draw the kind of art that represents those things in any reasonable time frame.
If the story and the people within it say something is true, and the story itself implies that they should definitely have the capacity to understand that truth, but the art does not represent it, we have to decide what's more critical: The story, or the art that represents it. Considering fiction exists without images more often than fiction exists without words, I'm willing to lean toward this being a limitation of the medium rather than the characters being incorrect.
Well it was more than just the art that shaped my decision on this particular matter, though what you say does have merit. Here are some things I noted:
The time it takes in the story (manga and anime) for people to traverse the city effectively limits how large that city can be. This in turn means that I doubt the city is very large, and in turn means that the city has a limit to how many people it can house. Cities housing million(s) of people would take a very, very long time to traverse, even if the population density was extremely high, which the drawings do not really indicate (there aren't modern highrises for example).
Take a look at modern cities, even fairly dense ones, and pick one that contains several million people, and you have a city that would take the better part of the day, running, to get from one part to another. In the art and through the actions Straw Hats take, they get around Alaburna (spelling) in far less time than that.
The fact that the Straw Hats were able to get around the city without the streets at every turn being flooded with people. If there were millions of people descending on the city, these seems to me an utter impossibility. If there were many empty streets, I am skeptical of the number of people who were attacking the city.
And this in addition to 'how did millions of people survive for 3 years without rain on what is essentially a desert island' cause me to be extremely skeptical of the idea that millions of people were on this island. Therefore to me it seems that Oda just really didn't think through the implications of what tossing out 'milliions' would actually be, realistically, and just wanted more to imply 'lots of people' rather than a specific number of 'lots of people'. Hundreds of thousands of people and millions of people are both big numbers, but again, people often aren't really good on reflecting on how big a difference there is between large numbers. At the limit of human understanding, all big numbers blur into 'big number' category, even if there are massive differences in scale between those big #s.
Episode 120!!! This is one long ass Arc huh... but I loved last ep with Zoro!!! He is so great! Soon the Arc is over tho, See ya!

Kohza POV: the entire past 2 years you dedicated your life to bringing harmony to your homeland and leading a rebellion, only to discover that all your efforts were not only meaningless, but were the ones that brought even more chaos to the cause. Furthermore, dying 5 minutes after realising.
