On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we train to head into the New World with Zach, Ed, Steve, Jason, and Greg. We have a ton to do before we make the trip, though. First we have to go through some News from both Japan and the U.S. Then we trudge through the Manga Recap for Chapter 640 which includes the likes of giant ships, vicious fishmen, holes, and claims of sexism. Yes, sir! Then we find ourselves at the Anime Recap for Episode 516 which includes an all new rendition of “We Are” by Mr. Kitadani and a look at the preview for the next episode. After that Greg takes us into all new territory with an exclusive interview with One Piece creator and author Eiichiro Oda. As if that weren’t enough trials and tribulations for you, Greg also brings us the second installment of his “inspirations” segment. We conclude training with our traditional “piece together,” and then go to New World! It’s a heck of a journey.
