Seeing the Battle of Fort Marlin, I have to admit that Oda, a big cow, has a grand plan for a long time. The subtle clues buried before can be traced back to the adventure of the sky island and even the turmoil of Alabastan. The unsuccessful plot has actually set a solid foreshadowing, and continues to this day. Now that the OP has been out for 10 years, the background vision has just been opened, and the plot is embarking on an unprecedented climax. It is naturally exciting to say. The previous adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates also logically became a warm-up test for this new force to truly enter its social role. Who can deny that the growth of the Straw Hat Pirates is not part of the larger background. Foreshadowing? As for similar classics like Reaper, Hokage, after narrating the growth of a small group, the author is obviously exhausted, and even now it is only serialized for serialization. Obviously, compared to Oda, who has Chengzhu in his chest, the authors are a little bit inferior in conceiving foreshadowing.
I won’t go into detail here about the fullness and thinness of OP and other comic characters. Let me briefly talk about my impressions of reading the latest 100 words in one afternoon. After all, I haven't watched it for almost two years. It was naturally difficult to connect to the track at first, but the more I watched it, the more exciting it became!
The biggest impression is included in one sentence: After all, there is no right or wrong, and we only seek a little bit of human beauty in this bloody competition for rights. This should be a cliché, but WT’s way of expressing this idea is not as untalented as ordinary people, and straightforward, (of course, there are occasional old-fashioned fragments, but the flaws are not concealed), but instead are borrowed from different social classes. The different beliefs insisted by the characters of the characters convey the concept of "good and evil" that runs through human history and is full of contradictions and undefinable. For example, a loyal little man in the navy like Hannibal firmly believes that justice will prevail. Even at the last moment before the battle, he can burst out his domineering and bloody scolding: "You are just notorious'pirates'." Rebels' stop, what help brother! The scum of society don’t speak beautiful things!.. In order to protect the weak and weak, I will put you all in jail!” In the eyes of the lusty Blackbeard Diqi, good and evil never Become a reason for fighting, because the only reason for fighting is to obtain rights: "Whatever is full of justice and evil, there is no answer to this world no matter how you find it! It's boring." At the same time, when the little people are fighting for life and death, the right is already in hand. However, Qiwuhai is qualified to calm down and watch the fire from the shore: "The navy is justice? Pirates are evil? No matter how many times this statement can be changed! The little ghosts who don’t know'peace' and the little ghosts who don't know'war', values It's completely different! Only the guy standing at the top is qualified to define good and evil! Justice will prevail? That's right! Because only the winner is justice!"
How did WT choose the position of good and evil? No, WT will not choose a position, because the dispute between good and evil will last forever. No one can refute anyone. Human nature is the only benchmark that can be relied on among the various values of right and wrong in the world. Whitebeard-the king of an era, a man whose reputation has made pirates frightened, his original ideal of going to sea is extremely simple: he has no interest in the legendary ONE PIECE, and the only thing that he wants since childhood is "family" ". Is the white beard becoming the strongest symbol in the world only because of his unmatched combat power? No, I think it is because the simplest and most beautiful humanity is stored in his strongest and most terrifying physique, which makes him have the strongest qualifications in the world. He loves his pirate group as he loves his children, and treats them with magnanimity and compassion, so that he can attract elites from all walks of life to gather under his command, which makes him the well-deserved strongest in the world. Therefore, even if Di Qi usurped all the power of White Beard, he would never be able to surpass his father, because human nature is the root of White Beard's power. Whitebeard, such a terrifying man who appeared as a villain in the first 400 words, finally gained a full image here. If OP is a simple comic, presumably Luffy will become One Piece, sooner or later he will have a showdown with White Beard. However, such a plot is unreasonable. Not because White Beard itself is invincible, but because he is a symbol of all the power of an era, and it is illogical to make the confrontation between the "past" and the "future" incomparable. In the Battle of Fort Marlin, Baibeard died in a tragic and majestic posture like a Greek hero (when he died, he stood upright, his head was half lost, and he was shot countlessly) and used this to announce the birth of a new century. Undoubtedly Not only makes the plot reach the greatest degree of consummation, but also shocks our readers.
Besides, the human nature of the white beard is also reflected in some details. Before going to the battlefield, he insisted on pulling out all the medical equipment on his body: "What are you doing with these? Do you still want to win the sympathy of the enemy?" And "Brother Sha'e, I am like you, who has only one heart." And bid farewell to Ace's last words "Am I a competent father?", etc. I will not go into details here. But what moved me most was Baibeard's unstoppable awareness of the wheel of history. "Can't look back, the times have changed." "Just like there are people who inherit Roger's will, sooner or later there will be people who inherit Ace's will. Even if their blood ties are broken, their flames will not go out. That's it. Inherited from the previous generations, and someday will carry hundreds of years of history, people who challenge this world will appear... Warring States, your world government has always been afraid of the upcoming meeting The world is involved in a huge battle... That day will definitely come, ONE PIECE is real!!!" This may be the theme of the entire comic.
Let's talk about Ace. Ace's death is not much novel, but it is also full of human tenderness, especially when he listened to the rescue cry from all directions, knelt down on the execution platform, gave up the moment of bravery and weeping bitterly. "My father, my brother, and my friends fell one by one in blood, but I couldn't stop tears with joy! It's only now that I know the value of life!" WT's portrayal of the contradictions of human nature is really intriguing. For a person who has a bad background and has questioned "is it really good to be born?" and has already lost his life in meaninglessness, now he realizes why he needs a reason to live? Family friendship is the whole point. "All I really want is to make myself feel'it's good to be born'." Unfortunately, he still died. Therefore, WT generously gave Ace's shots: the tacit cooperation with Luffy to make a killing before death was really heroic and fascinated all beings. As for the contradiction of human nature, the most obvious manifestation is undoubtedly in Lieutenant General Karp: the fatal opposition between family affection and duty. The two must sacrifice one, he chose to sacrifice himself (of course not that he died). The section of Karp's face-to-face overturned by his grandson is enough to reflect his ingenuity. However, even a veteran with a deep strategy, he can only cry helplessly in the face of the death of his dear relatives, regretting his grandchildren for "why don't you live the way I said". The impermanence and helplessness of life are evident here. As the admiral of the Warring States, at this time, he still did not lose human sympathy. The dignified marshal can be ruthless and cunning when executing Ace, and cannot but regret the grief of an old friend's bereavement. In short, it was a tragedy of helplessness.
This is how the wheels of history roll forward.
What I admire most about WT is that he will never forget those little people who are struggling to survive. Maybe he would ridicule these little people or their hypocritical or self-interested side mercilessly, but he never denied their way of living. Little villains like Bucky the Clown and MR 3, despite repeated frustrations, they can always survive tenaciously, and occasionally they can conscientiously discover that they sacrifice the ego to preserve the ego, not to mention whether their hearts are good or evil— We don't define good and evil-such a realistic portrayal is also one of WT's insight into the world and sympathy for small people. In addition, MR 2's ladyboy Xiaofeng has completely become a cannon fodder to earn tears. It can be seen that being pure is also qualified. Luffy can be innocent from start to finish, because he is very strong. And the simplicity of MR 2 will only cost him his life when he sacrifices himself to save others.
The second point I admire most about WT is that he allows each character to stick to their different beliefs to live, throwing blood for pure dreams and pure friendship in the dust of troubled times. WT has never denied anyone's way of life. Everyone can define "greatness" in their own way. Isn’t it the same in the world we live in?
