As big as oars is crazy. I’m so curious to see where this arc is going. I think I’m actually excited because I don’t understand why for the first time Luffy is actively trying to help what looks like the arc’s villain (I’m guessing Shanks’s brother is more like it though). I think it’s Luffy’s emotional intelligence that’s throwing me for a loop, though the interaction with Zoro was hilarious.

No Richard, she just told you she couldn’t give you her entire day -.-
Unlike some of you guys, I don’t hate the kid lol but you can tell with this encounter that he hasn’t had the time to grow past his obsession with her at all. That’ll be rough if he turns out not to be the ML. If they didn’t make him grow while he was apart, I don’t know how it’ll happen now that they’re reunited.

“For those wondering if Vlad ends up with Alicia or Zemina/Jemina... It is implied in the end through a prophecy (a doodle from the elf priestess) that Vlad and Zemina will eventually have a kid. The love triangle is just an illusion… Alicia does like him and tries to poach him from Bayezid a few times, but he only really ever acts like her knight or friend. It's repeated all throughout the novel that Vlad grounds himself by the fact that his adventures began when his unadorned sword was bought from an old blacksmith by the tears of a red-haired girl

They do end up together, but this isnt a romance genre so the focus really isnt about how they get there. It was just the natural order of things. Alicia wasnt even really an option for Vlad, but he was aware of both girls' feelings. There was a part where Vlad had to leave Soara, and he asked Zemina to give him her handkerchief. So we know the implications of that. Both girls also meet sometime in the middle of the novel, Alicia visited Soara for something(?) and Vlad wasnt there yet, so Zemina entertained her as a guest of the inn.”

Hahahah, a leaking stone.
I might be in the minority on this, but I actually want her to have more interactions with blondie from the cover. He’s what drew me in and he’s what I want to see everytime I switch to a new chapter. I’m glad he’s on the hunt. I’m curious to see how they’ll mesh together with his obsession for older bald women.
This shxt is so depressing. I wish season 3 was up already. Next episode should be the last episode of the season.
