Okay so in the previous arc Nami left the crew and went to Arlong who’s basically her boss even though she’s treated as a slave. The crew are now left stranded on the Baratie until they see a rowboat but since Zoro is still recovering Luffy and Sanji leave to Arlong park to find Nami and get their ship back along with their navigator. As they are sailing, they encounter a sea cow which both Luffy and Sanji fight it, and they end up making it take them to the island. when they finally get to the island Zoro and johnny and Johnny tells them that Usopp had been stabbed by Nami but what had actually happened was that she stabbed her hand instead of stabbing her and she just pushed him into the ocean. Luffy shouts at Nami to come back but she chooses not to listen. The villagers start telling the group about namis past but Zoro and Luffy does not listen. A little while later we see that Nami is trying to stop the villagers from attacking arlong to the point where she starts stabbing herself with a knife trying to carve out the arlong symbol, but Luffy stops her.
He then gives her his straw-hat hat and leaves with the group to fight Arlong
in the end Luffy wins the fight between Arlong and the fishmen Pirates and Nami finally joins the Straw-hat Pirates
Lounge Town Arc
after the Battle between Luff and the Arlong pirates the crew heads to the last town before the grand line Lounge Town this is also where Roger the king of pirates was executed. As they are traveling there, we get to see Luffy first Bounty
The crew decides to stop there for supplies. the crew splits up and Luffy goes to the place where the former king of pirates was beheaded where he is then met by Buggy the Clown and Alvida (first pirate he beat) the put him in the execution alter to behead him but lighting strikes his sword and the pirates see it as a sign but all this fighting draws the attention of smoker and the marines who try to capture Luffy. Just as Luffy is beaten by Smoker since he had a sea stone pick which deactivates Devil fruit users Abilities and makes them weak a mysterious man grabs Smoker and lets Luffy get away
the crew gets back together and escape Lounge town and head towards the grand line
Ok so we start this arc off with the trio trying to find a ship they can use to actually go out into the sea, and they end up at Syrup town where they are met by Usopp the troublemaker/ liar of the village where he threatens the trio so they can try and get them to leave. His scheme didn’t work but as he talked to them it is revealed that Luffy knows his father because Usopps father is Yasopp shanks sniper on Shanks crew. Skip forward the person in charge of the island is about to be assassinated so the crew steps in and stops them. Luffy takes out everyone except the 2nd mate of their crew since Zoro always handle them and Luffy takes out the captain. They ended up saving the girl and the girl gives them a ship and the trio along with their new member/ sniper leave the island.
Baratie Arc
ok so the crew are starting to get aquainted with their ne ship and have decided to draw a jolly roger flag (crew enblem) Luffy ask Usopp to demonstrate his sniping skills with one of the ships cannons. Usopps aim proved well as it destroyed a small island which is important to remember that but anyway the crew is impressed with Usopp but they are missing someone fatal, a cook and they just so happen to wander by a restaurant ship called the baratie when they enter they are met by Sanji who has already fallen for Nami’s beauty so he starts treating her like a V.I.P but the men however are broke so they are about to get kicked out but before they are kicked out an injured man comes through the front door looking for food and he starts threating people that if he doesn’t get any food he’s going to hurt them that is until Sanji stops him and gives him food this act Makes Luffy want to recruit him so in typical Luffy fashion he starts to bother him until the baratie was attacked by Don Kriege so Luffy goes out to fight him and protect everyone this act makes Sanji wants to join him and you may be wondering why I’m skipping so much stuff that happened there it’s because it’s not crucial to Luffy’s story but more its crucial to Zoro and Sanji’s stories and developments. when I do their parts I will include it then. but never mind that after the fight is over Nami betrays them and steals the ship and the treasure so the boys go out and try and find her.
the next blog will be the arlong arc and the winter arc and can I just say One piece has way too many arcs and I’m only talking about pre time skip I bet if you look at whole cake island arc I’m pretty sure there’s about 6-character arcs in there by itself
Continuing on my post from last week, this post is about the fourth installment in the Life is Strange series, True Colors. WARNING: THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE STORY!!!!!
In True Colors, players control Alexandra “Alex” Chen, a child previously stuck in the foster care system who has the gift of psychic empathy. Alex’s powers allow her to see and feel the emotions of other people, with those emotions presenting to Alex as an aura of colors in the air around a person. These abilities are viewed as a curse to Alex, as she gets lost in them, and feels the emotions as if they are her own. This has led her to view her powers as a curse. In the start of the game, Alex is fresh off a bus to Haven Springs, Colorado, where her brother, Gabe, lives. Gabe shows Alex around the town, introducing her to many residents. They town is mostly employed by a mining company, Typhon. Typhon is a prolific company, present in the entirety of the story and even before Gabe and Alex are even born. In the style of all the Life is Strange games, True Colors is set up in episodic style, though unlike other games it was released altogether on September 10th, 2021. Back to the game, Gabe leads Alex back to his apartment, which he gifts to her. They then meet Mac, an angry citizen who believes Gabe is in a relationship with Mac’s girlfriend, Riley. This is not true, as Riley is applying for a college, which Gabe is assisting her with. Mac attacks Gabe with Alex in the same room. Alex is soon “infected” by Mac’s anger and attacks Mac in animalistic fashion, driving him off. Afterwards, Alex explains to Gabe the nature of her powers.
Later that night, Gabe, Alex, and another citizen, Ryan, search for a missing boy. The boy is found in an old Typhon mining facility, stuck on a rotting tree over a chasm. The boy believes that there is a monster hiding under the log, waiting to grab him. His fear makes him immovable. Alex climbs across the log slowly and attempts to coax the boy back to safety, but is unable to do so. She tunes into his fear, unlocking another facet of her powers, the ability to gently influence these emotions and use them to assist people through their trauma. When Alex taps into the boy’s fear, she begins to see through his eyes and views the “monster” in the chasm. She knows that the monster isn’t real, but the boy’s fear makes it seem tangible. Braving the boy’s fear, Alex leads him to safety. Gabe tries to rappel down to retrieve something, but blasts sound off. Earlier that night, they had told Typhon to stop blasting, but Typhon didn’t listen. They began blasting, causing the chasm to deteriorate and crush Gabe.
This is only a short summary of the first episode, so I implore you to play the full game, as it is a masterpiece.
Hello since I couldn’t think of anything else to write about, I decide to do crew summaries all the way back from the first chapter to the latest chapter. Hope you enjoy! I’ll be going in order of when they actually joined the crew, and I will be expressing my opinions so feel free to leave.
Monkey D. Luffy is the son of Dragon and Grandson of Garp. His first appearance was chapter 1 where we get a small tidbit of information about his childhood and where we see how he got his scar on his cheek and where he got his straw hat from. Then a big time skip later we see him on a boat in the middle of nowhere until he encounters our first deuteragonist and help him defeat Alvida who was holding Cobey {deuteragonist} captive. when Luffy saved him this inspired Cobey to follow his dreams and become a Marine.
Luffy’s dream is to become the pirate king and to be a great pirate and we see him become a great pirate as we follow his adventures with his crew as the follow the same path Roger the previous Pirate King. Luffy embodies freedom and the ability to do whatever he wants and to eat lots of meat.
East Blue Saga
1. Romance Dawn
Okay so the first arc we get introduced to Luffy and Colby and after they defeat Alvida they are on a boat just wandering around when they start talking about their dreams and when Luffy says something about needing powerful members Colby mentions Roanoa Zoro and Luffy as impulsive as he is sails their boat to where Zoro is, also Zoro at this time is called pirate hunter Zoro so yeah I don’t know where Luffy got the idea to recruit him for a pirate crew but hey it worked out in the end for him.
Luffy goes to rescue him after hearing that he is being held prisoner without food, but Zoro declines his help but Luffy being Luffy still stays with him trying to convince him. Sometime later the person holding Zoro prisoner tries to kill him, but Luffy stops him and gaining Zoro’s trust he becomes the first member of Luffy crews.
Orange town arc
we start this arc off with Luffy and Zoro starving on a ship this is right after the romance dawn arc (the previous one) Luffy being Luffy tries to catch a seagull so they can eat it but the bird drags Luffy away from Zoro and his ship then a ship of pirates try to rob Zoro and takes his little ship but when they see that its THE Zoro they apologize. you see Zoro is infamous at killing Pirates so by all rights they are terrified for their lives and start telling Zoro what happened to them. They talk about how some Orange haired girl robbed them and stole all their stuff along with their ship. The lady that we are talking about is the best girl in One Piece Give it up for Nami (soon to be part of the crew).
While this is happening Luffy ended up in Orange Town where a pirate spots him and tells his leader Buggy the Clown where then Buggy promptly say to the pirate to fire a cannon ball at Luffy, and the pirate does it unsurprisingly, but it doesn’t affect Luffy since he is a rubber man but it still kind of makes him angry. While he’s shaking the debris off of him Nami comes over to him making him take the fall for the bad things he did and gets him attacked by the guys chasing him but since he’s the protagonist he beast the thugs easily. Nami sees that she can partner up with him but when he reveals that he’s a pirate Nami ties him up and offers him up to Buggy. while buggy puts Luffy in a cage Nami steals Buggys gold and to ensure that she was loyal to him he told her to kill Luffy. Nami unable to do so sided with Luffy and in a stroke of luck Zoro comes in and slices Buggy in pieces but since buggy is a devil fruit user and ate the dice dice fruit, he puts himself back together and him and Luffy fight. At the end of the day Luffy defeated buggy and the buggy pirates and saved Orange Town from Buggy’s Tyranny
I’ll be doing a part 2 of pre time skip Luffy going all the way until Maineford.
Hello ladies and Gents, I hope you had a good morning because today we are going to be talking about the first Main Boss Fight for drumroll, please …….. introducing the amazing and very loud boss Godrick The Grafted!
[crickets]
wow no Applauses for this thing right here
Ok lore time. so, Godrick the grafted is a very and i mean very distant relative to Godfrey and Marika but he is so distant that he carries little to none, divine blood. Now during the Great Shattering when the Elden Ring was shattered this guy took the center piece or anchor of the Elden ring and hid in the capital until he could escape. He then sought refuge at imgrave in the Castle to Hid from Rahdan (we will get to him later). Malenia went south with her army to go try and kill Rahdan( We will get to that later precious) and Godrick said “Hey I should go fight her since i have mastered the art of grafting.” Wait Quentin what is Grafting. I’m so glad you asked, grafting is the art of Attaching someone else body, arm, leg, head and .. other things onto oneself to make them stronger though i don’t see the appeal like why would attaching a arm to another arm would make them stronger but elden ring doesn’t make since like look at these people
They are surprising very plentiful and no matter how much i search I cannot for the life of me find out why they exist. What were we talking about again? oh yeah so Godrick said let me fight the woman who never lost a fight and lost very badly so much so that he had to resort to this.
doing this caused him utter humiliation which made him graft himself even further. He along with some foot soldiers of the capital settle in castle storm where he put his anchor on the shattering on top of a tower.
Now let’s get in to battle tactics though your opponent is large he is very manageable ESPECALLY if you do these 3 things.
Go to the Elleh church to get the bell bearings if you hadn’t already and get Rodricka in the shack going to the castle to upgrade it your spirit summon.
Get a weapon that can do bleed damage if you look on YouTube you should find three ill make a post about weapons in the future.
find Nelphi when you get to gate to the boss fight turn around you will find a giant with 2 enemies beside them kill them then go forward you will see a leady in rags standing on a dead body. Exhaust her dialogue and her sign will be at the entrance.
Godrick us a low tier boss so much of the stuff he does is manageable.
this is the weapon he uses for a player its “alright” but Godrick uses it mainly for AOE attacks the beginning of the match he will use the weapon to swing wind at you knocking you over it does a medium amount of damage. if you did the things I told you to do you will summon you summon so they can draw agro along with Nelphi. the next attack he will most likely do his thrust his axe into the ground and causing shock waves knocking everyone around him over and dealing significant damage. Use the moment he gets up as an opportunity to attack him.
now when he stops attacking you and start screaming hitting his arm try to deal as much damage you can before his second phase. his second phase consist of the same thing his first phase was but with fire.
his AOE will change into flames bursting out the ground to the safe thing to do is to go right up next to him and hint him while he’s doing the attack. after you kill him, you will get award giving you one of his two weapons hear me when I say this don’t pick any of them just sell his remembrance and be don’t with it, they are both terrible. after you kill him, you can get to his tower and get his great ruin which boost all your stats when activated.
Hello, I will be talking about the Elden ring enemies in base game for fun.
Godrick Soldier
the first enemy that You the player actually have a chance against at a low level. they drop about 70 runes give or take the rate in which they drop their weapons are about 78%. They are found in Limgrave by the church of Elleh and can be found pretty much everywhere. they are one of the people that suffered with the curse of undying and they serve under the tyrant Godrick the Grafted.
260 – 273 runes a sort of mini-boss to the godrick soldiers called the Godrick knight. this enemy uses a spear along with a shield for levels 1-40 i would suggest fighting him last as he can withstand some attacks that should know most enemies down.
The war hawk. 56 – 1039 runes this bird for brains is an annoying opponent at first but you don’t have to fight them you have2 options. 1. run past them and meet the sorcerer. 2. run and jump on the roof next to them and shortcut through the enemies. If you plan on fighting them, I recommend waiting for them to drop the barrel making sure you don’t get hit by it, then jump attacking them knocking them it the sky then barraging them with attacks. All in all, they aren’t very strong just very annoying but if you kill them enough time you can get the war hawk sword which is good for early to mid-game.
these enemies are called the exile soldiers they are the soldiers stationed in the limgrave castle really the last line of defense for Godrick. they operate ballista’s and have fire arrows so be careful when going long range. there is one enemy that use 2 weapons if you are 1-40 it will most likely kill you so try to run past him. when you get to the back of the castle there will be a massive amount of them, but they are pretty easy.
Ladies and gentlemen i present to you the omen he drops 451 – 2520 runes and 2 weapons that are so hard to get it has a 4.0 chance of dropping. these two weapons are called Omen clever and warped axe. when you spot him, he will be sitting down with his dog but if you approach him, he will turn hostile the best thing for you to do is go into the room behind him and get a grace so you can save your spot. He is the last defense of Stormville castle I wish you luck on Godrick the grafted.
Check out my other post to know more about Elden ring lore
Ok since I keep running out of ideas i decided to make a new series one where I at least know most of the stuff by heart. I have about 500 hours on Elden ring by playing it multiple times and if anyone plays the game after reading through this blog its completely worth it.
The Origin of Elden Ring
Ok so this story starts off with this being called the greater will. Now they never actually specify how the greater will came about but I imagine it came about like the big bang but I’m getting off topic so there is this thing called the greater will that sent down the Elden ring with isn’t like the hobbits wring but instead a tree to bless the realms in between where the character you make resides. Now the greater will chose Queen Marika (you will be hearing her a lot in the game) as a vessel of the Elden ring now the Edlen ring with the power to give people the blessing of the grace (will talk about that later) has the power to change reality. with that power Marika removes death. Yep, she removes Death so now no one can die granting eternal life to everything this action led to the rise of the golden order (Basically the government but less annoying) which is a religion dedicated to her.
this is Queen Marika (The Eternal)
Now let’s move on to her family her first husband was a guy called Godfrey who was then named the first Elden lord and was deemed the most powerful for some time. Marika bore 3 children Godwyn (think of Baldur from Asgardian Mythology) Morgot and Mogh
Godfrey
Godwyn-middle, Mogh -left Moorgot right-
Godwyn started the golden Lineage which further drove the Golden order. Now his brothers as you can see, they are very different. they are omens and the Golden Order hated the omen there were even a set of people that had a career of killing omen, so Marika tossed them into her kingdom’s sewers. Godfrey and Godwyn opposed this decsion so Godfrey was casted out of the kingdom and lost the title of Elden lord. Godwyn was not punished since he was still a child during this. The game doesn’t exactly say but we can assume the Godwyn, and his army died to the monsters outside the realms between.
Later on Marika takes in a new “Partner” this longed hair red man who appeared out of nowhere. Now he was even more powerful than Godwin and was at equal strength to that of Marika who mind you was blessed by the Elden ring. they soon had 2 children Maleina and Miquella
Miquella -left Maleina-right
But you see Leyndell (Marika’s kingdom) had a problem you see there was this other kingdom called Raya Lucaria that had study the stars and magic that could become a threat to Radagon (Marika’s husband) was sent to demolish everything, but you see the Full Moon Princess said “I’ll stop attacking your kingdom but only if you marry me. Which he promptly did and they had 3 children Ranni, Rykard, Radhan
Radhan, Ranni, Rykard
Radagon then went back to his kingdom leaving the queen alone and heart broken. Now years like years later Ranni devised a plan see she didn’t want to be anyone’s puppet, so she plotted to kill Godwyn and take control of the Elden Ring so she hired the only people that could actually kill someone, and they ambushed and killed Godwyn
but she didn’t expect that when he died the Elden ring would shatter and go everywhere. Now each one of the demigods took a piece of it and tried to wait each other out so that they could finally become Elden lord.
Hello everyone, I’m back with another blog about Percy Jackson and the Olympians and I wanted to say thank you for all the support and if some of my information is off or it’s not going in that much depth it’s because I’m going off the top of my head this is also the 2nd part since I need to divert my Attention elsewhere and if you guess what the 1. book is I’ll give you a cookie. Now without further ado I present.
Ok so we start off the book with Percy attending orientation at his new school where he encounters some demons where during the fight fire is prong across the school which burns down. Percy would’ve been in major trouble if it had not been for Rachel dare the same girl that Percy met at the dam last book. She ends up getting him out of the school. Percy took her back to camp where she began her studies as an oracle. after getting her situated Annabeth and Percy talk to the campers to tell them Lukes’s plan but unbeknownst to Percy Grover was on trial for not finding Pan [ Even though the gods couldn’t even find him but go off] After this they do a war game [ like every book] where Percy is introduced to the new sword trainer [ who i believe was Luke please tell me if I’m wrong] Percy is suspicious of this new sword trainer because you know they are at war with Luke Chiron is so dumb sometimes. Percy and Annabeth find a labyrinth in camp which they believe Luke will use to invade the camp. Annabeth issues a quest to go into the labyrinth to find Daedalus Workshop and close off the route to the camp. Annabeth, Grover, Tyson and Percy go into the maze where they then cross paths with Nico from the book Titians curse who is there to try and resurrect his dead sister Bianca with the help of King Minos. Nico joins Percy even though he still hates him for not keeping his promise which is technically not his fault since she wanted to be dumb but i can understand Nico’s frustrations.
like I beforehand I haven’t read this in years so i only remember the important parts but stay with me now
Percy went on a side quest for Hephateus to kill a group of Monsters in a volcano that ends up exploding which leads to Percy and Annabeth getting separated with Annabeth thinking he died. Percy ends up getting stranded on an island where it Harbors Calypso (Atlas daughter). Percy stays there for about 2 weeks until he is finally able to leave and when he returns to camp, he sees the camp mourning him since they all thought he perished. Annabeth hugs and punches him for living and not telling her. long story short Grover finds pan makes him lord of the wild, Percy fights Luke, Kronos now has Lukes body, and Daedalus is dead destroying the labyrinth.
sorry, there’s not that much information I remember most not all.
So, as my first post I decided to rank my favorite book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and give details about each book. I’ll be ranking them lowest to highest
5. Sea Of Monsters
Ok so the sea of monsters is about of Grover (2nd fav) is captured by a cyclops and Percy and Annabeth go across the sea to rescue him encountering Luke the person that betrayed Percy and the camp and the end of the last book. Where they also met up with allies like Clarissa and Aries (God of war) and had to help them fight a group of enemies (I don’t remember who) but after the help her out they use the sub that Aries gave to Clarissa to go to the island where Grover is being held. When they get to the island, they find Grover in a wedding dress about to get married to the cyclops with the help of Tyson and Clarissa they managed to get Grover out and escape.
Likes: Grover in a wedding dress, Annabeth and Percy relationship growing
Dislikes: Literally everything else. there was barely any character growth for Clarissa. We do get introduce to Tyson Percy half-brother, but it minimizes Percy struggle being the only kid in of Poseidon and in the fight with the cyclops he had barely any importance to the fight also this means the Poseidon broke the taboo again (Hades on top).
this book was a 4/10 for me at least there’s mixed reviews
4.The Titians Curse
I’d say that this had potential because of the characters he introduced like Nico, Thailia even though we saw her last book at the Zoe, Bianca and Paul. You may be asking Paul? Who’s Paul? He is Percy’s step I’m and im glad we got his introduction in this story now we get to see Percy have somewhat of a normal life but let’s get into the summary.
So, we start with Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Thalia going to a school to help out 2 students Nico and Bianca and bring them to camp but there are monsters after them so Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia along with some of Artemis warriors fight them while Grover get Nico and Bianca to safety. During the fight Annabeth gets kidnapped and Thailia, who mind you was also there, blames Percy for her kidnapping. Percy talks to the hunter hoping for help to get her back but he finds out that Artemis has been captured and most likely by the same people.
Bianca talks to the hunters about her joining them which to me doesn’t make sense because that would mean leaving Nico her brother behind but that doesn’t matter right now because after this dialogue Apollo comes in to give them all a ride back to camp, they rest come back they have a prophecy.
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The Titan’s curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent’s hand.
So, they chose to take Zoe. I can understand Thalia I can understand Grover I can also understand that but Bianca? Why her over everyone, even Percy who at this point already battled a god and legendary Monsters, just to choose the girl with no experience and a nerdy brother who knows more about mythology than you. Anyway, the four of them go while Percy follows behind discreetly with a sea creature named Bessie after having dreams about the general. He follows them to Washington DC where he spots Luke following them, so he tells them, and they get mad at him (not Grover though) for following them. They then get attacked by some zombies. Zoe allows Percy to join making it 5 now.
They get to New Mexico where they find a junkyard but before this Aphrodite along with Ares tells him to not pick anything up. Listen to me they said do not pick anything up. Guess what Bianca picks up a figurine she wanted to give to her brother before she leaves him for most likely forever is killed by Talos which breaks the promise to Nico to keep her safe. I blame 2 people and 2 only Zoe and Bianca cause why would you bring an inexperienced first day hunter with you on a dangerous quest and why would you do something so stupid on a dangerous quest and why would she bother giving Nico anything you’re already leaving him behind when you’ve been with him for a hundred years.
After this happened Percy sad since he broke his promise to Nico, but they continue on to San Francisco at the hoover dam where they meet Bessie again and it turns out she has the power to overthrow the gods a manticore who is a servant to Kronos comes almost convince Thalia to join him, but she relents they call Mr. D he comes takes out the manticore.
They are then taken to Olympus where the gods contemplate killing Thalia and Percy since they have the potential to destroy Olympus. So, Thalia decides to become a hunter for Artemis, so she won’t grow up to be 16 while Percy convinces them that he won’t destroy Olympus. Flash forward they get into a fight with Atlas, and they see Annabeth holding the sky with a white streak in her hair. Atlas is also Zoe’s father, so they beat him, make him hold up the sky again and Zoe dies fighting her father, so Artemis makes her a constellation to honor her. They head back to the camp and the relationship between Percy and Annabeth grows and Nico hates Percy since he didn’t keep his promise to keep Bianca safe and it’s revealed that he is the son of Hades in the end.
The end.
5/10
The only reason this rating is so low is that the pacing was very slow, and the character dynamics were terrible compared to the first book.
