Astronauts are now stuck on International Space Station indefinitely due to issue with Boeing Starliner
(www.independent.co.uk)
Also docked to the space station is SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule that ferried four astronauts to the ISS in March, and a Russian Soyuz capsule that delivered three others in September. Stich acknowledged that at least one of those vehicles could provide an alternative ride home for Wilmore and Williams.
I was making a shitty little joke to myself with that one. One Piece isn't exactly the literary gold standard for plot twists. But there is a twist that makes you go back and look at all the early stuff with a discerning eye.
I'm still in shock about the pacing in one piece. When I think of Thriller Bark, I think "oh, you've gotten to the newer stuff! You're almost caught up!" Because that was my perception... IN HIGH SCHOOL
Lmao yeah only 900 episodes behind!
I'm mostly caught up to OP and I'm not sure if I follow what twist you're talking about. Just being vague is it

related to how the Kaido fight resolved?spoiler
it is. Shanks knows something having stolen the fruit from a Marine ship right before episode 1. It makes me suspicious of Mihawk. Even Crocus and Rayleigh knew something was up the second they looked at Luffy. Even Dragon, what's up with him? I'm a conspiracy theorist!spoiler
Gotcha, yeah all of that absolutely re-contextualized the early part of the series and raises even more questions. Also I feel so silly for just now noticing it but in certain angles Luffy's strawhat straight up looks like a halo from medieval art depictionsI've got enough cultural Osmosis to be into One Piece but it's too long, can you update me on what you two are talking about?
