Hosts Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas reunite (finally!) to talk through the chaos, carnage, and character drama in One Piece Chapters 1145 “Wildfire in Forest Sector 2, Branch Route 8” and 1146 “Motion in Stillness.” After a month-long break, the duo break down Gunko’s shocking fight with the Straw Hats, Loki’s past encounter with Rocks D. Xebec, and why Elbaf may be headed toward all-out war.

Also on deck: is Dr. Hiriluk secretly Xebec?? Jon pitches the reddit theory. Travis pretends to like it.

Topics this week include:

• Usopp and Nami step up against a full-on god (and pay the price).
• Gunko’s creepy regeneration powers...do the Holy Knights have Gorosei buffs?
• Loki’s backstory reveals…Rocks D. Xebec??
• Jimbei being the MVP firefighter.
• Brook possibly knowing more than he lets on about Holy Knights.
• King Harald’s deal with the Celestials and the mystery of Elbaf’s true allegiance.
• Why Robin and Chopper are in stealth mode.
• Plus: Fan comments, wild theories, and the pressing question: are the Straw Hats about to get wrecked again?

Host Jon Negroni (me) sails solo this week as he dives into two jam-packed One Piece chapters: 1143 “Holy Nights” and 1144 “A Time for Warriors.” With Travis off this week, Jon breaks down everything from mythical Zoan reveals and villain backstories to the re-arrival of Scopper Gaban and the Straw Hats finally getting in on the action. And after the recap, Jon goes through some comments!

Topics this week include:

• The Holy Knights’ bizarre Devil Fruits (Thorn-Thorn and Dream-Dream).
• The terrifying mind control over Elbaf’s kids.
• Loki’s last gasp and his mysterious past with King Harald.
• Frankie and Vegapunk discovering ancient tech that could change everything!
• Gaban, Dory, and Brogy joining the fight and what that means for the arc's escalation.
• Gunko being a fan of Brook’s “New World”? (What??)
• Plus, reader comments, theories, and the ongoing question: Is Elbaf really the next Wano… or just Punk Hazard 2.0?
