The toast being interrupted and having the focus shift to Kin'emon and the others seems to have made Luffy think "It's great that Jimbei's back. It really is. But this moment ain't about us." So he postponed the toast out of respect.
Ussop knows true meaning of suffering & getting out of comfort zone. I still remember his dialogue panel from Arlong Park arc where he was running scared from Chu fishman & them he suddenly he realises he left his "playing-pirates" Days long ago when he joined strawhat crew & he must get out of his comfort zone. And here too, he is the first one to question the Minks, how can they lie to suffer so much. I love how Oda sensei remembered this little character detail. (I hope I wasn't too wrong in interpreting this scene😢)
I had a discussion with a friend, we were debating the biggest plot twist in One Piece, he had CP9, I had this, so I had to come back to this Yeah this shit unbeatable.
Luffy knows the value of a flag...he's shown it multiple time prior to this arc. Yet he knows that it's the government's flag and oppression is the very thing keeping Robin from being free. It's not the baddies in front of him but a bigger ideal behind them. This is why he's the true King of the Pirates. He understands freedoms and the cost they require...for the criminal Zoro...the thief Nami...the liar Usopp...the freak Franky...the pervert Brook....the weird kid Sanji..the monster Chopper.
this scene is LEGENDARY bro I was in shock on how amazingly written this was. There are so many amazing moments that come close in one piece but nothing will top the feeling I had when I watched this moment dude 😭
Me:Nothing can beat luffys jet gattling gun vs lucci, ODA: red hawk vs hordy; no move can beat luffys redhawk, Oda: King kong Gun. "No move can beat that; Oda red hawk in Wano.
I like how Luffy makes people ask for help. With both Nami and Robin, he made them say it. He made them admit they needed help before he helped them. Luffy is an idiot most of the time but, I feel like that is important and somehow smart of him. Not even sure why I think that really , but it is important that people admit it when they need help.
