One Piece: Episode 167

And the pseudo-god Enel makes his not-so-grand appearance… I would’ve gladly mocked commented on his gaudy accessories but I fear he’ll fry me silly with those power of his.

While the psychotic bastard anticipates for his grandiose plans to realize, a surprise awaits the Straw Hat crew. Their messed up Going Merry has been repaired, albeit poorly. Nevertheless, a good samaritan has graciously fixed their ship and his identity remains unknown. Heh, try reading the latest chapters of the manga and search for some answers to the intriguing puzzle. ;p

The crew’s next task is to figure out a way to take down the ship back into water. The first attempt failed miserably only to be followed by Ussop’s ingenious scheme which includes sharkbaiting. Funny for this viewer. Not so much for Chopper. Poor thing. I can’t help but laugh anyway.

The festival is about to begin, and the uber-long epic battles are inevitable. Let’s see if how the animators are going to pace these sometimes tedious sequences.
