So I was finally able to watch the special and it was actually really good, I was really pleased with it. I won't give anything major away, but I'll share a few of my thoughts. I can't believe I'm saying this but Foxy actually wasn't that bad, I even laughed at one of his moves. It caught me of gaurd, so I laughed pretty freaking hard. Now at first I thought the entire special was going to be about him the Davy Back Jones games, but that wasn't the case. I had made the comment yesterday that I would have preferred for them to make a new villain for this special and they did. I thought he was pretty unique, he wasn't about strength, even though he was strong, but he was more about wisdom, especially tactical wisdom. He did a pretty good job keeping the straw hats on their toes. Personally I love it when an enemy backs our heroes into a corner, it's not often that we see happen, so when we have somebody that is actually a threat its a lot of fun to watch.
Now everybody here knows that I'm a huge Luna shipper, and this special did not disappoint when it comes to Luffy and Nami interaction, and moments. There was quite a lot in the special. Not just that but Nami was the star of the special. I don't think I've ever seen her get so much screen time and so many lines in a movie, special, or even episode for that matter. Even towards the end focus goes to Nami!! I won't say what it is because the shock factor is well worth it, pun intended ho ho ho 😁 This special caters to Nami fans, and for once it's not fanservice. Now that I kind of think about it there wasn't any fanservice at all. I think the only fan service is what Nami was wearing but even then it wasn't something overly sexual. Anyhow I think this is the most I've ever seen Nami shine and I was at the edge of my seat at times! It was great getting to see our queen kick some ass! So even if you don't ship Nami with Luffy it's all good, this special is so meant for Nami lovers in general, I highly recommend it.
Aside from that the animation was great, the fight scenes were pretty cool, and the enemy was way different this time around. Also Foxy actually did help, he wasn't annoying. I not once cringed whenever he shared screen time with the rest of the Straw Hats. In all honesty I never thought I'd say that because I'm not very fond of Foxy, but I didn't mind him at all in this special.
So yeah overall it was pretty sweet, it was nice that it was lengthy too. So whenever you guys have a chance definitely check it out, it's a much watch for us One Piece fans 😁
