Yeah.... Like you were on a leisurely car drive then all of a sudden the car sped up and sped the last few kilometres, then screeched to a halt right before it rammed into a wall.
Feels a bit like the author just abandoned the original storyline and just did whatever to close it up.
I cant remember the storyline or much, but all I can say is that I remember sanji being semi- blind and zoro carrying him princess style in a blanket, and that I think there were two different versions of the crew?? Bad memory sorry!
Now that I reread this, they really should've made Joel an older brother of Jesse. At least it would be less creepy and cringey lol
