Review of episode 966 of One Piece Anime

 

The epic moment of one piece anime arrived when two legendary pirate groups clashed out of which many became notorious and well known throughout the world. At the end of episode 965, Oden was tossed by Roger and Whitebeard joined the combat. 

 

In episode 966, both Roger pirates and Whitebeard pirates fought to rob each other’s treasure for three days. Ultimately, on the fourth day, they become friendly to each other and celebrated together by exchanging food and treasure. 

 

While celebrating by drinking alcohol, Roger revealed about the poneglyph and its connection to the final island that he has been searching to Oden and Whitebeard. But the only problem was that there was no one who can decipher the poneglyph except Oden, so he asks a favor from Whitebeard. 

When I read about the episode as a chapter in the manga, I got a different feeling but when I saw the way Roger expressed his wish and objective then I got overwhelmed. For years I have been thinking about one particular dialogue often said by many characters at various instances in past episodes like Luffy resembles Roger and how Luffy uttered exact words said by Roger, but I never understood what it meant. For the first time in episode 966 when Roger his desire to become King of Pirates, I felt like Luffy is there. I got goosebumps while watching that scene. 

 

In order to become pirate king, Roger needs Oden’s help. Despite Whitebeard’s objection Oden agreed to help Roger. Though Whitebeard agrees afterward but Roger pirates leave food and treasure behind to say thanks for the favor whitebeard has done. 

Izo, Dogstorm, and Cat viper decide to stay with whitebeard pirates but Dogstorm and Cat viper sneaks into Roger pirate’s ship. With the arrival of Oden, though there was some disagreement but later everyone opens up and welcomes him wholeheartedly when he cooked delicious Oden for everyone.
