the first round fight between luffy and mr. crocodile. i already expected that luffy wouldn't be able to beat him just like that. i wonder what's the issue about nico robin though. also, chopper and usopp barely winning their own fight!

Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates was the most feared evil genius on the high seas...until he vanished.

Now that time has come, and the ruthless Black Cat Pirates are about to attack... Unless, of course, Monkey D.Luffy can stop them! All Luffy has on his side are his sword-wielding first mate, Zolo; his thieving navigator, Nami; Usopp, a local kid with a knack for telling lies; and his own bizarre rubber-limbed powers. If these four amateur pirates want to stop the entire Black Cat crew, they'll have to come up with a pretty slick plan...

the crew finally entered the grand line!! what a hilarious entrance, though! i think this volume was a set up for a bigger arc. it mentioned the organization 'baroque works' and i feel like they're not just some small-time enemy. i'm honestly so excited for what's about to happen!

ps: they're going to come back for laboon in the future right??? i really hope so because that humongous whale is so precious!!

now i've seen some familiar characters like vivi and nico robin in this volume. i'm glad that aside from their appearance, i know nothing about them. i want to go into this blind for the plot!! 

and now the crew is on their way to save a princess. luffy being friendly with the giant and i thought, there's no way they would leave that island without fighting the big guy right? and i'm right! i wonder if it's miss all sunday's trick to put something on that ale?

mr bushido zoro's fight is my favorite fight in this volume. i freaking love that very last panel of him slicing daz bonez



but luffy, where are you?????

Luffy's pirates thought they were just stopping in for a quick bite...but now Luffy's been made a busboy on Baratie, the oceangoing restaurant, and it turns out some of the worst-mannered pirates on the Grand Line are just dying for a meal.Always one to look on the bright side, Luffy sets his sights on Sanji, the smart-talking, skirt-chasing assistant chef on the Baratie, as the Merry Go's new cook. But it'll take more than a vicious pirate battle and a little sweet talking from Nami to convince him to leave the Baratie and join Luffy's team. His oath to feed any and all pirates in need keeps getting in the way. The question is: what do you do when the very same pirates you just fed now want to serve you up for dinner?

[SPOILER}

the introduction to sanji! i also think hawkeye's character is interesting! i don't know much about his personality but i'm liking what i'm seeing so far. the panel of zoro crying and making a promise to become the greatest swordsman is really amazing. now, about nami's 'betrayal', gonna be the next arc right?

There are a lot of important figures introduced in this volume. I think those characters are going to be significant in the overall plot, not just in a single, small arc. Shanks made an appearance, and Ace too. A few of the seven warlords were introduced too. But for now, they're off to the sky island!

It's the final showdown with the metallic King Wapol! He wants his castle back and he's not taking "no" for an answer. Well, Luffy, Sanji and their newfound friend Tony Tony Chopper aren't giving up so easily! But our heroes have their hands full--especially with Wapol's ability to modify his body depending on what he eats! Meanwhile, down the mountain in Big Horn village the people are devastated as their beloved leader lies in the snow, badly injured. But all is not lost when Wapol's deadly 20 Doctors make an unbelievable announcement!

welcome to the crew, chopper. 

i feel like the next arc is going to be epic! that last panel of this volume hyped me up so much and i'm so excited for what's to come! also in this volume, i got a tiny glimpse of ace, a character that i know even without reading/watching the series! 

now, off to alabasta!!

The Straw Hats have been branded criminals for entering Skypiea without paying the toll! Their only chance for a way out is a series of challenges given to them by Kami's vassals. Meanwhile, Nico Robin makes an important discovery about the island. Is there a city of gold hidden on Skypiea?

i love the way that noland the liar's tale about the island with the gold 400 years ago is connected in this arc. zoro's extremely poor sense of direction and luffy relying on the temperature for the direction are the highlights of this volume and it's never not funny!!

Pirates and treasure in one of the wackiest comedies in manga! Rebellion! Luffy and pals are headed for the fabled Rainbase, the town of dreams. There they accidentally attract the unwanted attention of the Baroque Works security as well as their old "pal" Captain Smoker!

this is so exciting!! that part where smoker was chasing the crew inside the casino, then suddenly in the next panel all of them were caught inside the cage. i don't know but i laughed harder than i should because of that. and sanji taunting mr. crocodile is just so satisfying to see!! sanji is a living proof that mr. crocodile was once fooled by him. i'm enjoying this arc so much!!!

Avalanche! Luffy and Sanji surf a tree down a mountain on a fast-moving wave of snow and just avoid being buried alive. But then the demented King Wapol suddenly appears and orders Luffy and Sanji's deaths. With no time to lose, Luffy evades their attacks, when out of the blue an unlikely friend comes to his rescue! A friend who was just trying to kill him only hours before!

5/5


i freaking loved this volume so much! might be my one of my favorite volumes of this series so far. chopper's backstory hit me with so much emotions. wapol deserves death, an incredibly painful one
