Yeah, this episode goes to show how broken the government is to not be even able to protect little islands like Kokoyashi from pirates

These are defs two of my fave episodes. I cry every time too. It’s just so emotional. Bellemere is such a good character.
I just wish people would quit with the hints and spoils. It’s no fun if someone anticipates what’s going to happen.

This backstory still absolutely wrecks me every time I see it. Most of the Straw Hat's pasts do, really. Don't really have a lot in depth to say about these episodes just that the flashback is hearbreaking but wonderfully done., Other than that, just another dub factoid that Bellemere's voice actress is the same one who does Chi-Chi in Dragon Ball Z. (I mean, Funimation's of course. The less said about how 4Kids destroyed this arc, the better)

You kept saying "The dark back stories" this whole time and I have just been waiting for this one and to see your reaction.

That animation of Bellemeres death as well though. The silent I love you and the black and white. It portrays a violemt death a real death. It doesn't show blood at all or a corpse but just the imagery is powerful.

I'm already think about what happens next episode though. It's hard to watch A that Scene every time but it's so worth it in the end

Nami needed to secure the villagers lives first before she would have tried to get revenge on Arlong. That's why she spent those 8 years stealing money and drawing maps.
