So I meant to finish this for Luffy's birthday, but forces conspired to prevent that from happening. I was beginning to think this video was cursed. A lot of stuff went wrong while I was trying to work on this, but thankfully I finally finished it!
This may seem a bit different from my current style, and that's because it is a little bit. I started this amv quite a while ago and I've worked on it off and on since then. It's basically the reason why I rarely use masks anymore because getting the masks to work took a while, and it can be very time consuming in general. It's easier these days now that I use my tablet pen instead of a mouse, but I prefer using masks a bit more conservatively these days. Overall I find that masking can look nice but can also be more trouble than it's worth. That said people who enjoy using them have all of my respect haha.
I decided to start working on it again a few months ago since I knew Luffy's birthday was coming up and this video is basically about him, but due to various technical difficulties I didn't get it finished until now. I changed it a bit since my editing style is a little different from when I started it, and I cleaned it up and updated some older footage with higher quality stuff. It was a long time coming, so I hope you guys enjoy it! Happy (belated) birthday Luffy, and thank you so much for 6k subs!!!

About making amvs:
Lately a lot of people have been asking me questions about making amvs. Since I've been getting so many I thought I'd make a video answering a bunch and even demonstrating a few things. It'll be short and to the point, but hopefully informative. I'll address some that I've been getting already, but if you have any questions of your own, follow the link below! and if I can I'll address them in the video. I don't know if I'll get many questions, but I figure it's good to have a place for people to ask them, and a place where they can find answers! Even though I try to read every comment, on youtube it can be easy to lose track of questions, and sometimes I don't get a notification at all. So if you've asked something before and I never answered, feel free to try again at the link.
Ask questions here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkfPpmK1kWifQTgt…
And after some feedback I've decided you can also ask me on twitter haha: twitter.com/Omustiia
If you would like an answer sooner rather than later feel free to ask me here. If youtube notifies me properly I'm still happy to answer any questions you have, and I can still address them in the video with more detail or with examples.
And again, thank you so much for 6k subs! It really means a lot!

The beginning scenes where they're having fun mean everything to me lol

I was not prepared for the wall of feels that just hit me.

This amv is why I finally watched one piece

Honestly the more I watch your amv's the more I'm convinced that you're one of the best anime editors on youtube. The flow this video has where you build up the anticipation with increasingly action packed visuals up until the climax of the song where we see the paramount war and end of arc battle scenes really adds to a feeling of spectacle. I really appreciate that you used less iconic scenes where characters might just be laughing or dancing, you don't usually see those "down time" scenes in other amv's. It's almost always about action and the biggest moments of the series, don't get me wrong an amv needs that but not only that. With yours it almost tells a story where the beginning is the softer scenes before a inciting incident like Robin getting kidnapped ending with the big fight sequence. But a kind of compilation of all the different beginning middle and ends of the various arc's in the series. But I think what most sets you apart from the tens of other popular editors is your sense of style. These last two videos "Believer" and "Tongues" showcased this beautifully. In each video you catered the style of the visuals to the song, not just the rhythm to the change in scene. Both edits were unique in style where you added a certain motif which stayed throughout the video or a significant portion of it. Because you matched the visuals so closely to the song in that way they felt like they had a far larger relationship between each other than other videos where the visuals come first and only change with the music. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but I'd like to commend you on just how well done these are. Thank you.

0:57 this sequence gives me chills every time, so good

I want to watch it over and over again...
-
no one truly understands luffy, do they? that's why hes such an amazing protag.
-
The last part, with Ace and Sabo running broke my heart
-
i've watched countless one piece amvs over the years but this one remains as my definitive favorite :')
-
WTF ! Why are you so good at making AMVs JESUS CHRIST!?!?
-
I really like to rewatch this amv from time to time. Not only this but many other your one piece amvs
-
Luffy is one of the best characters ever written, and this video gives him justice
-
Another great work from you. I don't know how I ended to love really the way you edit, especially with One Piece. It's unique and original and I like how you merge it always with the flow of the song. Thing that's pretty rare nowdays. It's already one of my favourite amv regarding Luffy and in your channel. Nice uses of the mask too. Great job my friend ;)

It seems so hard these days to find good quality AMV's - where someone has clearly put time in time and and effort to make something incredible. This was a great amv! You are amazing, keep up the awesome content! :) But above that my favorite thing is, you aren't just mashing clips to music, you're capturing the "feel" of the music and matching that rhythm to story of one piece. When I watch your AMV's I don't "watch" them, I feel them. That's what sets you apart, and truly showcases your talent.

At the beginning i was like "oh this amv seems cheerful enough" and then the feel after that hit me straight at the face...or the heart...with full force. Awesome amv as always, your the best 👍👍
-
I’m surprise this only got 900k views. It is very well made and the song and video just brings a lot of emotion for Luffy. This is an underrated Amv. Thank you for the video thou! It was awesome!
-
every time you release a new one piece amv i know i need to mentally prepare myself bc i'm gonna be thinking about it for the rest of the dang week. i cannot overstate how stunning this was, you have a way of capturing everything that makes one piece epic and enjoyable
-
the op fandom has a lot of really, really excellent amvs, some of which have millions of views. but this...this has got to be my favorite one piece amv of all time. it's really something else.

Dude, it's one of the best AMV that I have seen, so many emotions, memories of every episode
