One Piece, Vol. 24 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (217–226) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon begins the Jaya Arc. Indebted to Monkey D. Luffy for rescuing her, Nico Robin joins the Straw Hat Pirates. On their first adventure, an old ship falls from the sky. Rummaging through some of its remains, while dealing with a rival salvaging crew led by the monkey-like Masira, and nearby monstrous sea creatures, the Straw Hats discover the fallen ship has come from Skypiea, an island high in the sky.
Unsure of how to reach it, the Straw Hats visit a nearby port on the island of Jaya. There they meet Bellamy, a pirate who looks down on Luffy, and mocks his dreams of becoming Pirate King. Luffy, who had promised Nami not to fight in the town, allows himself to be beaten up and bullied by Bellamy.
The Straw Hats then proceed to another part of Jaya to meet a man who might have a lead on how to reach Skypiea. However, they must first get past Masira's brother Shōjō and his crew.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. The crew tearfully leaves Nefeltari Vivi behind and continues on their journey with Ms. All Sunday, aka Nico Robin, joining as an archaeologist. When a ship inexplicably falls from the sky and the Log Pose begins pointing up, they go to the island of Jaya for information on "Sky Island". There, they encounter Bellamy, a pirate who is heralding a "New Age" where pirates do not dream, and a man named Mont Blanc Cricket.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 24 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.
