One Piece, Volume 14: Instinct

2007Eiichiro Oda

4.8/5

An attack on one of the giants lands Luffy on the top suspect list, as volume 14 kicks off with straight up action. Luffy proves he doesnt back down from any opponent, no matter how big. Meanwhile on the island, the Strawhats and Vivi are captured one by one. The foe in the shadows introduces himself as Mr. 3, a Baroque Works agent. He and his partner, Ms. Goldenweek, are on Little Garden to capture Vivi as well as collect bounties on the two Giants, Dory and Broggy.The pacing in this volume wastes no time as we get straight to the action. Luffy and Usopp have to take out the two new villains as well as Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine (who we met last volume). The stakes are raised as a time limit is placed on the lives of the others, except Sanji. Mr. 3's strange views on art is played well into his fighting style and you are left with a flashy, yet whacky battle. Usopp steals all scenes with his goofy antics and funny dialogue. Rather than prolong the sub arc like previous arcs, Oda finishes the fights in the very last pages, leaving the Little Garden wrap up for volume 15.Art, as always, never wavers, while Eichiro Oda tells a more simplistic story this time around. This in no way takes away from One Piece's epicness. The mess the crew finds themselves in feels hopeless right down to the end. Youll be biting your nails til you get to the finish line. Characters are great, as always, with the strategic Mr. 3 taking center stage. His ego and self confidence delivers a villain you really want Luffy to pummel. In the end this volume serves up an exciting chapter in the Baroque Works arc!
