My Thoughts:
Technically One Piece is a rewatch for me (I’m on around episode 60 but rewatching these is just as nice as the first go around. I remember this epeisode really well because it gives us a nice insight into some of the most important characters and two of my personal favorites: Nami and Shanks.
Nami is super clever and not just all looks; which is not to the advantage of the simp pirates that can’t keep their eyes off of her.
Also… enter Red-haired shanks (excited Luffy voice). Also the pun right before Luffy ate the devil fruit when Shanks tells Luffy to not get bent all out of shape is even more legendary the second time around.
Episode 4 is not one you can miss it gives us the story of Luffy, Shanks, the hat and the promise he made to build a crew and become king of the pirates!
