One Piece Volume 74

We’re now well into the middle of Dressrosa and that explains why this volume is so thick. It feels bigger than most of the other volumes in this box and a lot happens, so strap in. Just like with the last volume, let’s go through each important story separately instead of getting too focused on … Continue reading One Piece Volume 74 →
