One Piece [Pirate Alliance Saga]

I have noticed so many similar themes from the first half rehashed in the current storyline.
Now, we are at the second half of One Piece entitled The Final Sea: The New World Saga. After Fishman island, The Strawhats finally enter the New World the first arc Punk Hazard brings back old characters like Trafalgar Law and Smoker and introduces Caesar and Vergo the former playing an important role for the next arc, the Dressrosa arc.
Punk Hazard is like Whiskey Peak, they are the first island the strawhats stepped upon, either in the paradise or in the new world. they weren't grand in scale like Alabasta nor as epic as Enies Lobby arc but they serve as an introductory arc that will lead to a much more bigger arc.
And that's exactly what's happening right now, Trafalgar Law proposed an alliance with the Strawhat pirates and they plan to take down one of the yonkou.
The way things turned out was beyond expectations but after analyzing a bit there were similarities that are too much to be mere coincidences, I wonder how much Oda-sensei planned all of this, Astounding!

Let's help the Princess save her country!
Whiskey Peak introduced Vivi, actually the princess of Alabasta Kingdom who wants to stop crocodile, one of the Royal Shichibukai from destroying her country.
That's quite similar to Shirahoshi, Mermaid princess of Fishman island who tried to stop Hody from taking over fishman island in the second half of the series.
Smoker was also present in Alabasta and Punk Hazard arc playing a side role.

Why expect a Moon arc?
Skypiea is an island 10,000 meters above the ground while Fishman island is 10,000 meters below the sea. Skypiea is similar to fishman island they have their own species and unique culture they are quite similar. Fishman island is the Skypiea of the 2nd half. So why do people expect a Moon arc?, it's probably because Enel, the main antagonist of the Skypiea arc went to the Moon, Oda even made a cover story series about his journey there.

Royal Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) no more.
Donquixote Doflamingo, who was introduced 500 chapters ago only made his debut as the main antagonist of Dressrosa arc. He reliquished his title of shichibukai as per Law's demand in exchange for Caesar. Crocodile was stripped of his title for abusing his power, for nearly completing his goal of destroying Alabasta and causing civil wars between countrymen.

Hinted relations
Bellamy was introduced just before the Strawhats went to Skypiea as a cruel pirate who made fun of luffy for believing in his dreams. After he was beaten up by luffy by a single punch, he was revealed to be part of Doflamingo's crew. and now we see him again in Dressrosa as a participant in the tournament with renewed ideals.

Many people won't probably remember this but in Jaya arc, luffy was briefly seen wearing a gladiator's armor. Bellamy and Burgess were also first seen in this arc it as if foreshadowing Dressrosa arc.

MilkTea, you are my sweetest friend

This is an off topic. My current obsession with milktea has me constantly craving for it whether its Happy Lemon, gong cha or serenitea. mom says its psychological and its not that i dont believe her but I cant help it. I Love MilkTea. Its been a month since i had my first Cocoa pudding at Happy Lemon, that Cup was the catalyst for my Milktea adventure last month trying out the Bestsellers of 6 milktea shops, yup six..My MilkTea Obsession as you may call it didnt start recently, It was last year, when i passed by a shop called Loose leaf near my school and ordered a wintermelon tea, but it suddenly closed down and I completely forgot about it, that is until I coincidentaly encountered Happy Lemon during a mall trip, It was Love all over again.

[Nami X Law] One Piece crack pairing or not?

Woah, has it really been over a year since i wrote or even visited this blog ? ●◇● Well, nevermind that -_- I've been wanting to write about this for a while now in another site that has image uploading problems (that i won't mention) but i didn't have the time to do so, luckily it's summer break this month so I finally got the time and motivation to do it today. It' s about Crack pairings, yep fans get crazy about it ♥ forces two people/characters no matter how bizzare or implausible it may seem to be, to pair up with one another e.g. SanjixZoro, FrankyxRobin, and even VivixCrocodile. Unfortunately Oda said NO romance(except for adventure) in One Piece, particularly in the Strawhats. So fans comfort themselves by reading fanfics, such a cruel world, right?

I tried hard to forget about this pair because i know romance will never bloom for any of the Strawhat crew but Oda seems give a little hope for this pairing. I present to you Nami X Trafalgar Law ♥_♥ Contains HEAVY Spoilers!you were Warned >:)

They first met 2 years prior to the current storyline at sabaody archipelago, now they reunite at Punk hazard, how romantic ~ There was absolutely nothing romantic about that but still Me says Yay. ^_^/ Not to mention that the First Strawhat to notice and talk to law was Nami even though it was one sided accusations from Nami's part. When Nami was kidnapped by the yeti cool brothers guess who saved her?? :")) Not Luffy, not zoro, not even sanji but it was none other than Law. <3 >__< Then the Pirate Alliance came, Nami was against it. she didn't trust Law at all, she was even suspicious of his motives.

Bit by bit throughout this arc Nami began trusting him, she even told him "Isn't this supposed to be an alliance?! Have a little Faith!" when he was doubting the Strawhat crews sniper of letting the enemies get away.

After Punk Hazard they head to Dressrosa where Doflamingo, who recently stepped down from Shichibukai and relinquished his title as king of dressrosa heeding Law's demand in exchange for caesar awaits them. Nami and Law had few interactions here as it was just a short journey, But I loved the small moments no matter how insignificant it may be, notice how they always seem to be near each other ? ♥ my favorite would be them sitting besides each other while eating breakfast <3 I'm not sure if it was on purpose or coincidental, only Oda sensei knows.

After they arrived to dressrosa, Law gave Nami a Vivre card headed to Zou in case something happens as they will split in three groups Law, usopp and robin(Ceasar Transfer team). Luffy, zoro, sanji and kinemon(Factory Destroying & Samurai retreival team) Nami, chopper, brook and momo(Thousand Sunny Guard team). You don't know how disappointed i was when I found out the teams, Why didn't they end up in the same team?! :"(( Why?!. Enough, at least they'll surely meet a hundred or so chapters later, Right? I love you Pirate Alliance, you made this pairing possible.Make this Alliance FOREVER, Ok? :D

So i tell you what i like about this couple i mean pairing *_*
1.) They look so good together~ They are not far apart age wise, Hot Guy and Hot Girl couple.
2.) They complement each other, Personality wise.
3.) Law's ability to scan is kinda similar to Nami's Stealing ability/Talent
4.) Due to the Alliance there will be more interactions of them in the future, the cover page of 693 shows law's crew staring at Nami, they all adore girls except for their stoic Captain >:/
5.) They trust each other, They love each other. Just kidding :) but law does begin to trust nami as evidenced in the Punk Hazard Arc.
