How do you fight against someone who is able to make solid, unbreakable cracker soldiers? Well, the solution is quite simple really. You just make them wet and then keep eating them. You see, Luffy’s gear four takes a lot of energy, but if he can continuously refuel with cookies, then that solves the problem. … Continue reading One Piece Volume 84

One Piece Volume 81
Zou is upon us. Oda’s worldbuilding and eye for detail are at full display here. We have already met several characters from Zou throughout our story, most noteworthy of them are Bepo, who is Law’s crewmate and Pekoms, who works for Big Mom. We get to see both of them again in this arc so … Continue reading One Piece Volume 81
One Piece Volume 80
We regularly see Luffy wearing a shirt with the numbers 56 on them throughout the series. That is likely because those numbers can be read as Go Mu in Japanese, making them a reference to Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no mi. That makes it extra clever that Bartolomeo’s crew has exactly 56 members. He’s such a … Continue reading One Piece Volume 80
One Piece Volume 79
Today is the day we finish up Dressrosa. Not my favorite arc in the series by any means, but it still had some pretty solid highlights throughout. Although it was dragged out like crazy in the anime, the fact that the fighters and people had to defend Luffy for 10 minutes as he regained his … Continue reading One Piece Volume 79

It’s the middle of summer vacation, my computer has fully given up the ghost so I’m writing this on my old computer which thankfully still runs relatively well and I’m generally not in the greatest of mood to write right now, but the show must go on, so let’s do a bit of a shorter … Continue reading One Piece Volume 78
One Piece Volume 77
Volume 77 is one of those volumes where a lot happens, but let’s not ignore the little bits. As some of you might know, Oda starts off every volume with a short little bit of text, usually it’s a bunch of nonsense about whatever happens to be on his mind at the time. This volume … Continue reading One Piece Volume 77
One Piece Volume 76
We’re deep into the action of Dressrosa now. There’s much to talk about, so let’s not waste any time. We’ll start with Kin’emon and Kanjuro. Kin’emon’s primary reason for wanting to come to Dressrosa is to find Kanjuro, his samurai companion that he got separated from after something happened. This has been his sole reason … Continue reading One Piece Volume 76
One Piece Volume 75
With Sugar being down and out for the count, it seems like the tide might finally turn on Dressrosa. Not just Robin, but all the people - and wild animals - that have been turned into toys over the past ten years have suddenly reverted to their normal state. On top of that, everyone’s memories … Continue reading One Piece Volume 75
