One Piece. Omnibus, Vol. 7
Тень зла нависла над Алабастой, страной песков… Агенты «Барок-Воркс» заняли свои позиции, и коварный план Крокодайла под названием «Утопия» вот-вот будет приведен в действие.
Команда Соломенной Шляпы изо всех сил спешит остановить негодяя и вернуть доверие народа к царю, но на их пути встают одни из самых лучших наемных убийц на Гранд-Лайне. К тому же дело осложняют повстанцы, которые преследуют собственные цели и ничего не подозревают о заговоре…
Обстановка накаляется, однако Луффи уверен: всего-то и нужно, что одолеть Крокодайла, и тогда в Алабасте вновь воцарится мир. Вот только Крокодайл – один из Семи Великих Корсаров. И с таким могущественным врагом резиновому капитану прежде встречаться не доводилось…

إلى ذلك الصديق على أحد مواقع التواصل الإجتماعي…
إلى ذلك الصديق الذي لن يقرأ هذه السطور...
إلى ذلك الصديق الذي كان يتسلى ذات سهرة بإختيار شخصية من شخصيات الإنمي تطابق صاحب الحساب (أو لنقل ما يعرفه عن صاحب الحساب)…
ها قد ظهرت نيكو روبن… فما بدأت هذه المانجا التي لم أقرأ غيرها إلا لإكتشاف هذه الشخصية لكني فوجئت بعالم كامل شدني إليه منذ فصله الأول.
إلى ذلك الصديق الغائب قسرا منذ أكثر من شهرين و نصف حظا طيبا أينما كنت و شكرا… شكرا جزيلا من أعماق القلب.

We got a loooooot of page time spent on characters "kicking each other's butts" and not a lot of anything else in this omnibus. I am finding that I really prefer when we are getting plot and character development as opposed to the drawn out fights. I also understand that part of the formula for this series is having those boss fights but I prefer the times when we are actually getting plot progression.
I did appreciate how much more wide scale that Oda really reached with this particular arc. We have multiple moving parts going on right now, the straw hats, Baroque works, the Alabastian government and their civil unrest/rebellion. It really makes the scope of the story feel vast which adds a lot of nuance as well as depth to the overarching story which is great considering the length of One Piece as a whole. If things never got deeper I'm not sure how the story would hold on for that long.

this arc is slower than the previous ones I've read but we don't care because we have Sanji who saves us the day at the end...

This is the volume where Luffy finally learns loss.
We get a civil war, Croc (the main villain) is on full display here, and we even get to see our other heroes go one on one with a bunch of bastards from Croc's crew. It's super entertaining, pretty brutal at points, and even funny. This is a pure battle volume but damn if the battles aren't pretty fun here. A 4 out of 5.

Reading this as a young teen, I don't think I grasped the full extent of the political nuances that are at play here. Yes, the action is fantastic, but Crocodile's plan to take over the country is a masterpiece in planning, deception, and sowing the seeds and letting others do the dirty work. Sanji is probably the standout with quite a few contributions to the 'get Vivi to Alabasta' plan, however, every Straw Hat gets a moment to shine, even Nami who bags her first real solo win in a fight. Probably one of the strongest segments in the Alabasta arc in general, it's a great climax collection to set up the grand finale.

This arc and the Baroque Works characters hit different after watching the Impel Down arc in the anime
September 26, 2023
Princess Vivi, assisted by the Straw Hats, continues her struggle to stop the civil war that is threatening to cost tens of thousands of lives in her home country, Alabasta. This war has been incited by Warlord of the Sea (AKA government-sanctioned pirate) Sir Crocodile and his network of Baroque Works agents with the aim of seizing control for himself.
Deciding that trying to track down the rebel leaders in the desert to let them know they’re being played A) might not work and B) is a poor use of a super-powered pirate ally who likes punching things, the gang confront Crocodile directly at his casino. This is the point where the story full on turns into a Bond film, with death traps, villain monologues, femme fatales, and more. Sanji is one of only two Straw Hats not to be captured and is of course LOVING his chance to be the suave hero with an alias – a very telling alias, if you know where his story is going!
Luffy’s exchange with Crocodile in the desert, when the latter asks why he’s willing to fight for this princess he just met, is quintessentially Luffy:
“Luffy: Vivi’s strength isn’t in her muscles, it’s in her heart…She feels compassion for everybody, so she never stops fighting. She doesn’t want a single person to get killed in this rebellion.
Crocodile: …Easy for someone who’s never been in a battle. Don’t you agree?
Luffy: That’s right. But as long as you’re still around, she’ll kill herself trying to stop you. So I’m gonna finish you here.”
Much later on in this story, Luffy will claim that he’s not a hero, because heroes will “give the meat to everyone else” and leave nothing for themselves (as Vivi is doing). He values his own freedom and enjoyment of life too much for that. But he can respect a hero, and try his best to keep that heroism from turning tragic. Of course, Crocodile is a tougher opponent than anyone Luffy has faced before!
Meanwhile, the other straw hats have their own showdowns with Baroque Works agents who mirror them in different ways, as they try to buy time for Vivi to contact SOMEONE on either the rebel or government side who can call a truce!
My favorite is the fight between Sanji and Bon Clay, because where the others are mainly just brutal, this one A) has more elements of humor, in the way that both use French-named kick attacks, and the way they spot each other’s weaknesses, but also B) an ending that might as well be from that ‘Princess Bride’ scene (“Kill me quickly” “I’d as soon destroy a stained glass window as an artist like yourself! However, since I can’t have you following me either” – bonk!). Bon Clay bonded so quickly with the other Straw Hats, before they knew they were supposed to be enemies, so it’s nice to see this “fellow artist respect” between them and Sanji - who they hadn’t yet met – as well.
However, all of the other match-ups have their moments, too: the usually-cowardly Usopp refusing to back down because an opponent insulted Luffy’s dream; Nami, after many frustrating false-starts, figuring out how to use the weather-manipulating weapon Usopp invented for her; and Zoro figuring out how to overcome an opponent whose body is as hard and sharp as steel by remembering a lesson from his teacher:
“Zoro’s sensei: Watch this sheet of paper very carefully, Zoro!
Little Zoro: It’s still in one piece!...
Sensei: Listen, Zoro. There are swordsmen in this world who are able to NOT cut anything. These same swordsmen also have the ability to cut through steel. And with the same instruments. The pinnacle of swordsmanship is the power to protect what one wishes to protect, and cut what one wishes to cut. A blade that injures all that it touches isn’t really a sword.”
And, of course, there’s Miss Nico Robin! Literally breaking a man’s back with your ability to sprout extra hands…that’s both scary and kinda sexy, not gonna lie.

Vol 19:
On the Grand Line, Luffy and crew struggle to help Princess Vivi save her war-torn and drought-ravaged kingdom from the evil Sir Crocodile and his secret criminal organization, the Baroque Works.
Vol 20:
In the beleaguered Kingdom of Alabasta on the Grand Line, Luffy and crew struggle to help Princess Vivi save her country, a drought-ravaged land descending into civil war. Angered by what they have seen, Luffy resolves to find the man responsible for all the misery, Sir Crocodile, and kick his butt. But even as they set out to find him, the forces of Baroque Works prepare to launch their final offensive-which could mean the total destruction of Alabasta!
Vol 21:
Now the climactic showdown between the rebels and the King’s forces is at hand! While Luffy lies half-dead in the Alabastan desert following his defeat by Sir Crocodile, the rest of the crew enters Alubarna to help Vivi put an end to the bloodshed. Usopp and Chopper outmaneuver Ms. Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 in a deadly game of baseball, while Sanji squares off against the eccentric but formidable Mr. 2 Bon Clay.

Another great omnibus!! This was so action filled, definitely the most fight scenes I’ve read so far. I’m enjoying the political intrigue surrounding Alabasta and the reason for the rebellion, Oda is super clever in his plotting, seeing events unfold and secrets revealed is what kept me reading on! School has been soo busy and exams are coming up so these reviews will be pretty short / written later on in the week. It makes me sad that I can’t binge these volumes as quick as before because I don’t want to forget anything in the previous scenes but still I had a great time, I’m going to jump straight into volume 22 because everything is getting super tense, I must find out how this all wraps up in the end… All the individual fight scenes we amazing, every character has developed their strength, my favourite fights were Zoro, because seeing him hone his skills and progress further to become the best swordsman was really cool and Nami, I loved her fight, she never gave up and even though she’s seen as one of the weakest, Usopp, the goat, is incredibly smart and creative so he was able to create a tool that helped her win! She was hurt badly yet she held on in hope that her crew would beat the rest of the baroque works members and save Alabasta. We’ve come so far from chapter 1, Luffy has built such a loyal crew and they believe in him so much like my heart was bursting when Usopp stood up for him, such beautiful scenes in the last volume. 🥹

review with light spoilers
these volumes took me a bit longer cause i got a bit too busy with school work but i finally found time.
ok so these volumes are basically all build up to the last fight with mr. 0 which i’m excited about because this is like the first official big fight in the grand line.
we get some character growth from all crew members in which they unlock more of their strength which i loved. i am however biased because i think zoro’s is the best but he is my favorite straw hat.
i’m excited to keep going and i’m gonna go start the next volume after posting this review
── preread
with midterms mostly over i finally had time to read so let continue with alabasta

rating: {★★★★☆: 4.5/5 stars}
Favorite moment: all the fights were great, NAMI'S WEAPON
I feel like this was the first big arc of one piece. Like we had some cool ones but this is the one where the story feels bigger, grand line enemies and more fruit users. Plus I forgot about the mention of Pluto a Poneglyph!
I still agree with what I said en 202 about these volumes lol
2022 -----------------------------
#19: Rebellion ★★★★★
#20: Showdown At Alubarna - ★★★★★
#21 Utopia - ★★★★★
THIS WHOLE VOLUME WAS FIRE
It finally feels super epic and that stakes are higher.
Crocodile is a great villain but my only complain is that he did the stupid plot device to leave the enemies to die instead of actually killing them giving them chance to strike back but I love all the fights so I forgive this plotarmor.
Nice seeing the crew get their spotlight for the individual fights.
We finally had an important loss for the team (not like death but still) and I think thats great for the story and character growth

I still got problems with the characters' invincibility, but I'm told to overlook it cause it will all be explained later and I guess how that's Mangas flow...? Everything else is superb tho.
P.S. my standard for rating graphic novels is different from other novels: characters, Plot, and MOSTLY pure enjoyment are only considered.

4.5 stars.
SO much packed into this volume!
We get a focus on Usopp (who has been somewhat underused since his introduction, IMO) and his awesomeness, and some kick-ass scenes involving that mighty duck Karoo (KAROOOOOO!), as well as Vivi showing her never-give-up spirit.
Oh, and the Supersonic Duck Squad, AND Mr 4's pet dog/gun. (As cool looking as it sounds!!)
And it's nice to see Luffy learning a little bit of loss (and maybe humility?) while his crewmates get their chance to shine.

muchas peleas lo cual se me ha hecho un poquito pesado a ratos, pero está guay ver a los demás lucirse por una vez y que no sea siempre luffy el que se carga a los malos. de todos modos tengo muchas ganas de que salga el siguiente volumen para ver cómo le parte la cara a crocodile. also, zoro todo ensangrentado al final? hot

*3.75/5 stars
Reread 2026: The different face offs between the Straw Hats were still fun to see, even though the humor remained hit or miss (usually miss). Any points Sanji gained from saving the crew were immediately lost by him being creepy during his fight with Bon Clay. Seeing Chopper and Usopp figure how to beat Mr. 4 and Miss Christmas was cool but it felt bogged down by the humor. Nami's fight could have been cool if half of it hadn't been flashbacks. Objectively the coolest fight was Zoro, but sometimes his monologuing made it hard to figure out what was actually happening in the present moment.
Original Review:
I think this is my favorite omnibus volume that takes place within the Alabasta arc. You can really feel the stakes as Luffy faces off against Crocodile, as Vivi tries to get to the palace, and as the rest of the Straw Hats duel their respective Baroque Works member.

I think this is my favorite omnibus volume that takes place within the Alabasta arc. You can really feel the stakes as Luffy faces off against Crocodile, as Vivi tries to get to the palace, and as the rest of the Straw Hats duel their respective Baroque Works member.

Una clave en las peleas de Luffy es meterse de alguna forma u otra en la cabeza de su adversario. Si contra krieg esto se logra inutiluzando su armadura, la base de su orgullo; si contra Arlong lo logra burlándose de los aspectos de hombre pez que para él son la base de su superioridad natural; contra Cocodrilo, en esta primera batalla, se centra en no dejarle hablar. A cocodrilo le gusta ser el más listo, tener un plan B, C y D. En esta pelea su único objetivo es demostrar que por mucho que los mugis se hayan librado, su victoria es inevitable. Pero Luffy no le deja zanjar ese mensaje. Aunque físicamente ineficaces, sus ataqyes tienen consiguen dos cosas: cortar el discurso de Cocodrilo y dar información sobre cómo funciona la fruta de la arena.
Como alguien que va al día, es bonito ver cómo en estos capítulos Oda todavía pensaba que su obra rondaría los cuatrocientos capítulos y duraría unos 10 años.
Una de estas cosas la podemos encontrar en la batalla Chopper y Usopp. Aquí en un par de paneles se hace referencia a la pistola que consune la fruta del perro. Usopp recalca que es curioso como la pistola se mueve. a pesar de ser un objeto, como si fuera la propia fruta, el perro, quien tuviera la voluntad. La voluntad en One Piece es un tema central, sin duda, pero la voluntad de las propias frutas, de las Zoan en concreto, no vuelve a tomar relevancia hasta 900 capítulos después.

idk man this just wasn’t really the one for me. nothing super memorable, not many silly goofs to enjoy. they’re still just kinda running through the desert, some big fights but i feel like the anime was just clearer on what was happening since you can obviously watch the fight. could just also be ive watched the anime so many times😅. some delectable drawings of the pretty boys all bloody that oda did not need to but all the effort in for but is greatly appreciated

I think there might be a lot to interrogate here in the characters going to a desert country to re-install a monarchy and defeat an external villain who's looking for weapons of mass destruction but I feel ill-equipped to go there at the moment.
I still can't follow the action in this art so this was a little boring for me. I do like the consistent messaging around pursuing your goals and standing up for what you believe in regardless of the stakes of that belief.

I was lucky to find this omnibus in a local bookstore, and when I got it didn't think I'd continue reading One Piece for that long. But here I am!
The arc felt a bit dragged out, with too many side fights, but it had a few good points, funny bits and the best cliffhanger so far!

The majority of one of the best early story arcs happens in this volume (Alabasta). We get to see Crocodile’s plans unfold and we see conflict and consequences on a wider scale than any point in the story so far. There are some really great Sanji moments, cool battles between Staw Hats and Baroque Works top agents, and the iconic “cutting steel” Zoro scene. Luffy also suffers his first major defeat.

Absolutely love the parts of the alabasta arc that these volumes covered! And the fact that he had a character that’s a gun who ate a mutt-mutt fruit instead of a dog that ate like a shoot-shoot fruit will literally always make me laugh

I love Croco-boy as a villain. Great character growth for most of the crew as well. Omnibus ends on a high note, with alot of excitement to come.

I took a bit of a break since I last picked up One Piece so it took me a couple of volumes to get back into the groove. I got hooked again by Vol. 21. Loving the omnibus edition!
