Eiichiro Oda
1,978 books4,746 followersEiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.
As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

Goddamn the epicness!
I would like to say though, "The walk to Arlong Park" is so much better in the anime. Luffy hands over his hat to Nami, Zoro puts on his bandana and Sanji lights a cigarette. The epic soundtrack on the back and the "Walk". You know the enemies are fucked xD
I love rereading the whole series, i really do <3

Eiichiro Oda is definitely one of the best manga artists to ever live, I take too much time in any manga or comic to watch the characters, the details in every scene, and he is just so good and talented and very smart.
Luffy is the friend you wish to have but you never will, only a dog is this loyal.
Nami's story was heart breaking, I knew Arlong was leading her on about the 100 million beli, but everything else was actually like I just saw it for the first time.
His deal should have sounded fishy (no pun intended) from the get go, 100m is 4 months of the village paying their tribute, it makes no sense to give it up for this low a price.
I can't wait to see the upcoming fight where we will have new exciting fights as Usopp will take part this time, and also Sanji, but I have to wait a little to advance my other reads.

Belle-Mere’s sacrifice is one of those things that really make this manga special. Nami’s backstory has truly made her character transcend.

The Walk to Arlong Park is one of the best moments in Shonen history. It's so simple, yet if effects everybody the same way. Classic stuff. Everybody needs a friend like Luffy (Though, I'm sure that same thing has been said about pretty much every Shonen protagonist ever).

Maybe I drop a tear. Maybe I didnt. Maybe I cried my eyes out. You’ll never know
May 24, 2022
I keep wondering - can't they pay each other's ransom? Let some villagers start a quick bit of crowdfunding to save Bellemere's life, I'm sure Arlong wouldn't have cared. It would rather have taken the best punch out of Nami's backstory, but maybe they could have figured out another reason for things to go as they did... I don't know.
Still, this is the volume where One Piece finally comes out on its own. It's where the plot and the characters click into place, where the emotion kicks into high gear, and where the Straw Hat Pirates become something more than just a bunch of morons hanging out with one another. It's where the story got really good.

nami backstory 😭😭😭

Creo que desde este punto Nami se volvió mi personaje favorito, tiene una de las historias más tristes de los mugiwaras, no importa cuántas veces la lea o vea siempre me hace llorar.
Además me encanta Bellemere, es un gran personaje femenino y Gen san xd la mandarina y el remolino 🥰
Y la escena del sombrero ❤
A pesar del dolor este es mi arco favorito y aunque odio a Arlong, igual al releer es triste la vida de los gyojin.
Y se me olvidaba xd también acá apareció la primera pelea entre Zoro y Sanji xd estos niños
PD: nunca lo he comentado pero igual me gustan las mini historias de las portadas. En estos tenemos lo que pasó con el pequeño Buggy y su tripulación xd

This was a great installment for a couple of reasons:
1) The characters were all distinct in both voice and depiction which helps since there were a lot
2) A LOT of plot progression, which we don't always get, and we learned a ton about Nami
3) Stakes were raised for everyone in Luffy's crew and we learned more about the team
4) Ends on one of the best cliffhangers yet in the series
Can't wait to pick up the next volume

Nami’s backstory will always gets me bawling my eyes out(op isn’t good for my mental health)
Anyways Arlong Park arc will always be iconic and the iconic “walk”😮💨
I also noticed that sometimes some characters are mentioned that are in the future very important or they say something that becomes big in the future arcs which I didn’t notice when i first watched the anime which im glad i decided to read the manga

This volume has my favorite scene from the early part of the story. It's lost its impact somewhat since I've read it four or five times by now, but Nami remains my favorite character, aside from Luffy himself.
I wonder just how many crewmembers will have tragic backstories, though? Shonen manga is all about melodrama, I know, but too many more incidents like that would make things feel more manipulative than earnest, imo. I haven't read much beyond this volume, so we'll find out how things go together.

This volume was heavy with backstory for Nami's character and allowed her to be fully fleshed out for us to understand what she's going through and what she's trying to accomplish.
It also introduces Arlong's crew and their extorsion strategies on the villagers that has been going on for almost a decade.
The best part of this volume has to be the epic ending that brings Luffy and crew to take action as they see one of their friends hurt. Beautiful.

if you’re wondering why the name of this volume is called tears is bc that’s exactly what you’ll be getting.
this is officially the volume that has made me a OP fan. if i ever thought this was just another shounen manga with not much to give me, I TAKE IT ALL BACK! i understand why everyone says that OP is more than just a pirate story bc THERE’S SO MUCH MORE GOING ON- I can’t even put it to words. I’M CRYING

the title of this volume is very fitting, because i freaking cried! the panel of nami begging for luffy's help got me so bad, and then the whole crew, without a second thought, backing her up!!

Omg, I LOVED this so much!! Loved Nami's backstory... I'm not crying, you are.

I decided to read One Piece for the first time and document my experience on YouTube, starting with the entire East Blue saga: https://youtu.be/T_3DySjyRjk

Okay, you just need to get about 20-30 volumes at a time because this manga is so binge-worthy.
We are exploring Nami's backstory and it is without a doubt the most interesting of the series so far!

You know what? This was honestly pretty good, by far my favorite volume so far. I think finally (and slowly) One Piece clicks with me. It only took me 20 years or so but I have to say that I'm happy because my persistence pays off.
My short history with One Piece, because why not:
-Started watching in 2002 the Greek Dub where Luffy was named Drake, Zoro was Blackjack, Nami was Bonney, Usopp was Gus, Sanji was Sunny and in general it was a clusterfuck of a translation.
-It really hooked me but the Greek Dub stopped at episode 106 so bye bye One Piece for me (or Drake, the Hunting of the Treasure, as it was the Greek name).
-Years pass and I was in high school when I learned the One Piece is still on going and actually it has a pretty big fan base. But by that point it had something like 800 episodes and I was like Nope, not gonna.
-But I have this itch you see and after more years I was like, "you know what? I want to watch it!" and I stopped at episode 15 I think because I was bored.
-Then I realized that I read faster that I can watch a 20-minute episode, so here we are.
Here I liked most of the book. Nami's backstory was great and the final pages were just awesome.

by far the best volume, it's getting 5 stars, i'm in this now and there's no going back and i wouldn't have it any other way

I love Namis story in the east blue saga a lot. And in this volume we get a lot of pay off with her back story finally revealed and the iconic ,,Help“ Moment.
The Art and panels were really great again especially on those last pages that set up the final confrontation with Arlong.
