It was amazing wasn't it? The Strawhats going to Enies Lobby to fight CP9 and the World Government to save Robin, Robin's flashback, the Strawhats' drive to save their friend against the odds and the world. It's truly a emotional ride. My favorite two parts was when Robin screamed "I WANT TO LIVE!!!" and when Luffy punched the hell out of Lucci through the wall thinking about Robin and what they were going to do to her.

So do you see Garp yet?

It truly was amazing. Water 7 + Enies Lobby are definitely peak One Piece so far.

And yeah I met Garp (who revealed his relationship to Luffy) as well as Koby and Helmeppo again. Lots of stuff is happening to build up for Marineford and future arcs.

Also they talked about the four emperors and I was surprised to see that a "certain someone" was one of them. When they were talking about the emperors, they even showed a silhouette of the one fat cake lady who I know appears much later on. It's crazy how far ahead Oda planned these things.

I know right? You will see a lot of foreshadowing in this series. The 4 Emperors are the reason the Warlord system exists as the Marines need powerful pirates to fight back against a Emperor's crew in case of a potential war. They're so powerful, they're like a super power and if two Emperors were to team up, they could take over the world. There are Commanders who lead divisions of a Emperor's crew and each of like the top 4 to top 3 Commanders is just as powerful or more than a Warlord. The Emperors themselves are in a totally different league from everyone as they're like God tier or S tier in the One Piece world.

Plus some of the Warlords have a history with the Emperors which is why the World Government chosen certain individuals. Crocodile having a history with one Emperor I won't name. When Crocodile was telling Luffy he wouldn't make it through the Grandline he was basically telling him "If I failed, so will you." He got wrecked in the New World.

I still can't believe that "you know who" is one of the emperors and is roughly on the same level as White Beard (they even clashed in one of the episodes I saw). I never thought he'd be that powerful but I guess it's because of that Haki ability which they sort of showed; it made White Beard's crew pass out and I'm guessing it has even more power.

Sorry for the late response, I'm having problems with my Internet. But yeah, it's crazy we were introduced to Shanks and Mihawk the most powerful Emperor and Warlord before we even knew about this stuff.

I forgot to mention there is two seas in the Grandline: Paradise which is the first half and the New World which is the 2nd half. The Emperors rule over the New World and their word is law there. At the end of the New World rests Laughtale which is where the One Piece is at.

Part of the reason no one has become Pirate King yet is because of the Emperors. The Emperors can't become Pirate King themselves either because they're in stalemate with each other. All the others would have to fall before one of them could become Pirate King. Luffy says he is going to defeat them all. I doubt he will fight Shanks though.

Oh yeah they were talking about the New World and how it's basically an entirely different game. Crazy to think that someone like Shanks could probably beat all of the enemies so far without breaking a sweat.

It's even crazier that the drunk guy Luffy found eating some pies in Jaya who also tried to fight him on a raft with just 3 other people is the same person that gave Shanks his scar. I peaked at the episode titles and he's gonna be appearing extremely soon.
