On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we batten down the hatches and get ready for Hurricane Irene with some One Piece. We have an interview with John Swasey to get us through it, he’s the voice of Crocodile, Gan Fall, and Brand New in FUNimation’s One Piece and we’re thrilled to have him on today’s episode. For more Swasey, check out The Fullmetal Podcast. We also have Jason and Jammer on for some Manga Recap of Chapter 636 and Piece Together. In between we’re joined by Greg for Greg no Gougai: news fresh from Japan.
Steve is working on an awesome image for this episode, check out the site later today to see it.
We’re rushing to get this episode out ahead of the hurricane. The Anime Recap for Episode 512 will be on next week’s episode. Stay safe out there, evacuate if you’re told to, and prepare. Go to NOAA’s website for more information.

Haven’t heard the episode but I know it is going to be great because of Croc’s voice being in it.
Wish you guys up north the best and hope you guys stay safe.
I actually never heard that song before, I just know it from Aqua Team Hunger Force.
I felt an earthquake… But there were painters knocking on my house, so I just assumed the shaking was due to them.
My Nana (my mom’s mother) lives right in the path of the hurricane and yet she refuses to move. I’m a little worried…
Manga recap…
I love Surume… The kraken reall IS kind of cute, with that silly little grin! XD
Wait, Oda wanted to make a mecha anime/manga? When did he say that? Well, whatever, he now has a giant robot, so good for him.
I did not notice how the Straw Hat Jolly Roger looked like the self-destruct button back in Vegapunk’s lab… Nice touch.
Seriously, Zach? You did NOT know about Wapometal, Or what happened to Wapol? It figures…
Also notice, EVERYONE has stars in their eyes… Except Nami. And Robin They don’t look impressed at all. :/
The shoulder cannon’s is kind of a call back fo Franky’s fight with Fukorou, but even I can’t tell what he’s shooting here.
That panel also confused me… Did Franky fall over because of the weight, or did he fall over as an attack? I guess it’ll make more sense in the anime.
Jason’s good to have on board, for the Nami and Usopp call-backs.
Chopper does look like a teenager… And yet he’s still adorable! X3
Big Bad Beetleborgs! I remember that show!!!!
I love Guard Point, cute! Walk Point can look cute, AND badass!
Hody Jones once again proves how much of a bastard he can be. Threatening to kill Surume’s family, what a jerk. This also makes me want to see Surume join even more, but it also makes me think he won’t join, and instead he’ll just return to his family.
Luffy and brothers… Yeah…
lol, Hody IS the worst villain ever! He may be a horrible evil jackass, but he’s got no clue just how weak he is compared to those in the above world… OR Luffy, for that matter!
John Swasey interview…
Incredible… Talking to them in their car… How professional…
More One Piece afoot? I like the sound of that!
Also, Crocodile didn’t die. In fact, he’ll be back.
Crocodile screaming and yelling? …That’s not how I picture Crocodile…
lol, Soldier A.
GAMERA!
Nice comparison. Kevin Bacon, freaking awesome.
Greg no Gougai…
I love having a guy in Japan be part of the podcast!
YAY! 10 more years of One Piece!!!
I like the reason why that comedian isn’t going for One Piece jokes. He can’t say where certain characters are now, because they keep popping up in the most unexpected places! Like he says, the story is “perfectly crafted” by the author. Bravo.
Oda makes a lot of references to Japanese celebrities… Not to mention uses a lot of Japanese jokes that don’t translate well to English.
Piece together…
I’d like to see his Heavy Point sometime soon…
Looney Tunes is on television, Cartoon Network, weekdays noon to 1 PM. Tomy & Jerry is on from 1 to 2 PM. They’re classic.
Oh yeah, the shadow from Florian Triangle! I’d like to know what THAT was!
Robin’s father, Luffy’s mother, and Franky’s parents are some people I’d like to know more about!
YAY! More of my stupid questions answered! I’m becoming more notorious!
Wapol at the reverie? …Oh yeah, because he’s a king again. That WOULD be interesting, seeing Chopper beat up Wapol there.
Like you guys said, everyone except Hyozo (and possible Hody) is useless. XD
I literally lol’d when I heard you could be killed by Gecko Moria by having him “sit on your face”! You guys say the funniest crap!
I love how you guys nonchalantly say “Croc” during the song! SO freaking funny!
First of I hope all you guys living in New York are doing okay. Even though the hurricane is a serious thing I couldn’t help but giggles over that Croc me like a hurricane tittle and song. Cool episode you guys the manga recap was awesome and I loved having John Swasey on the podcast again. That mega sized piece together was great too. Until the next episode you guys, stay safe
I live in New York… Pittsford NY, to be exact. It’s just really windy over here.
If you’ve had a HoHo you’ve had a roll cake.
