IT LIKELY STARTED A WAR, BUT DAMN THAT WAS SATISFYING! - One Piece #396

"They've been in big trouble before", get ready to see a whole new level of big trouble lmao.

Cains

Too bad it’ll take Curtis another 2 years to see why

SilversLyfe

LOL! YUP! :-D

The most satisfying punch in all of Anime Edit: When I first watched this episode I had half a mind to suggest "Man they should let Arlong have at these mooks."

DevilJynx

I feel like at the end of one piece Oda is going to have the ceslitail Dragon system fall of a cliff. Luffy becoming King of the Pirates will set off a huge chain of events and that will be fun to see unfold when it does.

Since he's a celestial dragon, we can assume that nobody has ever looked at him that way.

Jojoekage

oh yeah, should be smooth sailing from here

꧁Coltonius Maximus꧂

Actually Aokiji has Rank over Garp. Garp has been marine like 40+years, while Aokiji is marine of 20-something years...

V_VMat

That punch was better than an orgasm tbh 🤣

Chainsaw Man

What I love most about this scene is when the celestial dragon went "what's with that look on your face?!" which was the first time we saw Charlos with a concerned/mad face. It's like just by seeing how Luffy was looking at him, he suddenly knew that Luffy was a special kind of enemy.

Avery

I had to rewatch that scene like 10 times to see you reaction. Every time i tried i kept looking at dudes face getting destroyed. It's just so satisfying.

Moe

“The best mistake Luffy ever made”

Ranger

:-D

The punch was so epic and strong the anime reverted back to manga

Kyle

Holy shit I've always loved that punch. There's just something about that musical sting as Luffy turns to face him, then striding straight for him without saying a single word, dodging bullets he didn't even have to, all while readying Ol' Reliable for that epic fucking punch. Everything about it says "yeah, it might not be the smartest move, but I've just gotta punch this skidmark into another dimension." And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving douchebag. The Celestial Dragons in general could use a good old fashioned ass beating, but this guy in particular made one of the absolute worst moves he could've made. He fucked with Luffy's nakama. Might as well have drawn a huge target on his forehead.

Cetacean Needed

Luffy channeling his inner Saitama with that punch. I really hope you didn't think the Celestial Dragons were strong. Most of them are at about his level in power but at least quadruple his arrogance and punchability (I mean just look how satisfying THAT punch was. Imagine if he got clutched or if Luffy just kept going.). Just watch out for lawn ornaments.

Miasimon

YUP!! :-D

Grandpa aint an admiral. He's a vice admiral. Aokiji actually has seniority over him funnily enough.

flameenforcer619

Luffy really is a crazy bastard

SuperiorSpiderBoy

The OST that plays as Luffy is going to punch him is also one of my favorites, once that starts playing you know shit is about to ramp up.

Mighty Snake

punched him so damn hard he sent him right back to the manga

LordNoLife

A wee bit spoilery here chief but your point is valid. Let’s just let this stuff settle in here and then discuss it more when we get to fishman island. It’s the next island, it’s literally right around the corner so we should be there soon

Jcw490

Why do you think the screen went white?

Jcw490

I mean on a power scale he’s right so it’s close enough. The fact he remembers aokiji’s name at this point is enough of a win lol

Jcw490

Yep. It doesn’t mean someone like Arlong can be forgiven for what he did, but it adds context and nuance to the character which Oda is amazing at doing. “Oh remember that character from 350 episodes ago who you thought was total scum and pure evil. Well, here’s some depth for him!” Like what the f lol

Jcw490

You have a better understanding why the Fishman hated humans and as a child I'm sure Arlong wanted to go to Sabaody Park which a reference why he called his park Arlong Park in the East Blue and how much people hate Fishman and discriminate against them and trust and believe the Celesta Dragons are worst then Arlong will ever be the more the series progress

J.t. Fowlkes

The punch heard round the world, and it was SO worth it.

GoldArthur

Curtis it's ok to get off to this scene, everyone gets off to this scene

Mighty Snake

Also the way Luffy dodged the bullet even when he doesn't need to. 😂

V_VMat

Luffy literally punches the color out of the scene! Also, the Straw Hats already declared war against World Government during Enies Lobby, so what a "minor" incident like this is going to do against them?

V_VMat

Grandpa Garp isnt an Admiral so they wouldnt send him, it'd be Aokiji, Akainu or Kizaru

Schmul Sjifris

So far, Arlong, but it's gotten REALLY close!

Spaz Boys Comedy

I love it when a request comes together! :-D

Spaz Boys Comedy

:-D

Spaz Boys Comedy

Yes! That was awesome!

Spaz Boys Comedy

Agreed! That's right up there with Leorio jacking Ging! :-)

Spaz Boys Comedy

so arlong or the dragons? who do you hate more?

interested party

If you look at how our 8 limbs friend is being treated here, it might help you understand why fishmen like arlong exist

astherphoenixxx96

And on this day...the super novas knew they were fucked

"The dripping of his nose, really makes me want his face smashed" 😏 ask and you shall receive.

Jojoekage

I like how you paint with words. 💦 Same here 😜

Jojoekage

This is objectively the most satisfying punch in all of anime.

Johnny Kiehn

The screen turning white and black symbolises the cum shooting out of my penis from how nutworthy this scene is

Gigamac24

YESSS I've waited for this punch for so long! I love how Luffy hit him so hard he literally knocked him into another dimension... that manga-style animation never fails to get me hyped up!!

Johnny Kiehn

Kid wanted to see how much of a crazy bastard Luffy is 😏. He punched that motherfucker back into Manga.

Jojoekage

What I've always really liked about this scene, is the change up in the art style and the very apparent anger in luffy face.

One of the Best Punches in all of Anime
