Read upto chapter 44. Really had me nervous when Folger faces off Donovan. This volume afaik gives a good glimpse into Damian, Rebecca, Yori, Yor, Bond and Loid's lives.

Right in the feels. I don't know why I had the urge to reread this but worth it. One Piece will always remain one of the greatest.And this arc? This arc remains to date one of the most emotional stories that I have ever come across. Nami's story made me cry yet again. There is one point in every Anime/Manga that makes you all emotional and the one that you want to keep rereading all over again. Naruto had his reunion with Kushina, DBZ had Vegeta's murder by Frieza and One Piece has had this. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Sure, lots of people say they want to be the King of the Pirates, but how many have the guts to do what it takes? When Monkey D. Luffy first set out to sea in a leaky rowboat, he had no idea what might lie over the horizon. Now he's got a crew--sort of--in the form of swordsman Roronoa Zolo and treasure-hunting thief Nami. If he wants to prove himself on the high seas, Luffy will have to defeat the weird pirate lord Buggy the Clown. He'll have to find a map to the Grand Line, the sea route where the toughest pirates sail. And he'll have to face the Dread Captain Usopp, who claims to be a notorious pirate captain...but frankly, Usopp says a lot of things...

Don Krieg's evil pirate armada attempts to hijack the oceangoing restaurant Baratie, but the pirate cooks put up a fierce resistance until Krieg reveals one of the greatest secret weapons in his arsenal--Invincible Pearl! When sous chef Sanji steps into the fray, it turns out that he and Chef Zeff have some unfinished business concerning the loss of the latter's leg!

If you read this and don’t find Laboon the whale to be one of the cutest and most tragic fictional animals in history....Something must be wrong with you. Go reconsider your life choices.

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?

Once upon a time, Usopp was just a local boy with a talent for tall tales. Everyone in his little seaside village knew him as the joker who claimed to be a pirate captain and woke people up in the mornings by shouting "Pirates are coming!" But then real pirates landed on the beach…Now Usopp's village is under attack by the Black Cat Pirates, one of the most legendary and feared crews on the high seas. And three young would-be pirates have joined him in defending the village: Nami the thief, Zolo the swordsman, and Luffy, the straw-hatted wannabe pirate with incredible rubber powers. Usopp is about to find out how an imaginary pirate stands up to the real thing… and what it means to be a real pirate. His neighbors would never believe it in a million years...

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!

As a kid, Monkey D. Luffy vowed to become King of the Pirates and find the legendary treasure called the "One Piece." The enchanted Gum-Gum Fruit has given Luffy the power to stretch like rubber--and his new crewmate, the infamous pirate hunter Roronoa Zolo, strikes fear into the hearts of other buccaneers! But what chance does one rubber guy stand against Nami, a thief so tough she specializes in robbing pirates...or Captain Buggy, a fiendish pirate lord whose weird, clownish appearance conceals even weirder powers? It's pirate vs. pirate in the second swashbuckling volume of One Piece!

Luffy is determined to not only beat Arlong to a pulp, but also wipe away anything that reminds Nami of her past. Oda ends the arc on a high note. His art pulls off that expert chaotic containment, as Luffy finishes his hard fought battle. Nami's reaction , seeing Luffy stand on the rubble of the castle that inprisoned her life, is filled with relief and joy. Oda begins a trend, around this point, of major world building that takes place between arcs. Luffy gets his first bounty, which only ammuses the rubber man. We also see familiar faces meeting up to celebrate his new found fame. Small moments like this provide some of the best moments in the series.Once the arc concludes the Straw Hats are ready to finally head for the Grand Line, with Loguetown being a pit stop. Luffy begins to get excited as he learns Gold Roger was born in this town, as well as died here. Each Straw Hat shops for much needed supplies and we meet some new faces. The stern Captain Smoker cant really be called a villain but he does play a semi antagonist in this new sub arc. The other character, Tashigi, throws an interesting curve ball at Zoro, but sadly this never plays out to be anything important. The volume ends with typical Luffy getting into trouble and familiar foes coming back for revenge. We see Luffy's luck (sometimes called plot armor) get him out of said trouble, but this only gives Luffy's destiny a sense of mystical intrigue. Everything from story to art just feels high quality, as Oda never wavers on his skill. The Arlong Park arc concludes with high octane action and feels kicking moments. The Loguetown sub arc begins with fun jaunts by the crew and quickly ends with an exciting plot of revenge. The return of familar foes is refreshing, with Oda showing us he never forgets his creations. New faces deliver fun characters with unique abilities and perspectives. With only one volume left, our favorite heroes begin to journey into the next main arc.

Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates was the most feared evil genius on the high seas...until he vanished. Most people believe he's dead, but only his crew knows the truth: Captain Kuro has been laying low in a small seaside village, posing as a mild-mannered butler until the time for pillage is just right. 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 the 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...

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!
