I Still Have My Friends One Piece

Unpopular Opinion: Still Sailing with the Straw Hats!

Okay, let's be real. Some of you have jumped ship. I get it. Maybe you felt lost at sea.

Perhaps the journey became too long. Maybe you are missing the romance dawn.

But guess what? I still have my One Piece!

Has it Been... A While?

Yes, One Piece has been around for, well, a *while*. My niece wasn't even born when I started watching. Now, she's asking me if Luffy will ever find the treasure.

I just shrug and say, "Maybe next year?"

The end is getting closer. But some say they get tired of the journey.

The Crew is My Crew

Look, I've grown attached to these characters. Zoro's sense of direction (or lack thereof) cracks me up. I still cry every time I see Chopper.

And let's not forget Sanji's undying loyalty to every woman.

They feel like my dysfunctional found family. And who bails on family?

Filler? What Filler?

Okay, okay, some episodes are… less gripping than others. Some might even call them filler.

I see it as an opportunity to grab a snack! Or maybe do some laundry.

Every saga has its slow parts. And you can always skip it. Don't judge me!

The Power of Nostalgia (and Hype)

There’s something comforting about revisiting this world. It is like a warm blanket of adventure.

I remember watching the Alabasta arc with my friends. We'd meet up every week to watch Luffy defeat Crocodile. Good times!

Plus, the hype is still real. Every new chapter is like Christmas! I get excited with every Gear Five panel I see.

It's More Than Just a Show

For me, One Piece is more than just an anime. It’s about friendship, loyalty, and pursuing your dreams. Even if your dream is to become the Pirate King.

It is about never giving up, even when things get tough. I could actually learn a thing or two from Nami's negotiation skills!

It's a reminder that adventure is always out there, even if it’s just on my TV screen.
