Se que lo he dicho muchas veces ya pero tengo que ponerme al día jsjsj ya están llegando a elbaf y yo aún en punk Hazard xd
De hecho al ritmo tortuga que vamos con mi hermano ya estamos terminando la isla gyojin en anime 😅🙈
En fin, en ste volumen se está encaminado todo, Ceaser empezó a atacar con smiley y como siempre a Luffy ya lo atraparon por primera vez. Fue junto a Smiker, Tashigi, Law, Franky, Robin y Brook, se liberaron y dieron paso al contraataque.
Por otra parte Nami en el cuerpo de sanji y Usopp tuvieron un encuentro con Cesar, quien termino llevándose a los niños y golpeando a estos dos. El grupo restante pudo por fin terminar de armar a kinemon y vieron los efectos de Smiley más su "evolución" a un gas petrificante.
Todos lograron escapar de él ingresando al laboratorio donde se volvieron a separ en grupos con distintos objetivos y colaborando con la marina (a Smoker noble quedó de otra xd)
Datitos: mostraron en el volumen a Kid formando una alianza con Hawkins y Apo.
También estaban transmitiendo a ciertos lugares del nuevo mundo para vender el gas, kid estaba viendo esto, Pekons y su amigo también y había otro que solo mostraron el perfil y se parecía bastante a Ruci, no sé si era pero no se me ocurre otro y lo destacaban mucho jsjsj

Law and Luffy make an alliance and they battle Caesar until we see his true power and that he wont go down easily, meanwhile in other Place Zoro and all give Kine'mon his whole body back, Nami and Usopp have to deal with these children who have grown desperate for Candy and the slime monster is coming and we see Caesar capture others and turn this slime/smiley monster into some purple thing that freezes or kills others and its covering the entire island and some amazing revelations and characters like Vergo and then the coming together of everyone, breaking out, together they make plans for one final fight vs Ceasar and rescue the childrens! Its epic the way its done and some parts do feel dragged out but overall its really good! The art is freaking insane and especially the detailing of Luffy and Caesar's fight is just wow! The endgame is here and its gonna be epic!

So many things happened in Punk Hazard when Straw Hat Pirates separate. Luffy and Law make alliance to take down somebody, I think? Also to defeat Caesar Clown who owns the place with his strange yet horrible experiment towards the children. Smoker also has another plan regarding the strange events in Punk Hazard and led him into more questions. It seems the Navy already corrupt by certain people. This story is more exciting than Fish-man Island because some interesting people who will make connection somehow in the future. So looking forward to know more about Law and Kinnemon the Samurai. P.s. the child could transform into a dragon like in Dragonball manga. ROFL!

Something I've noticed more and more is the action is kinda` hard to follow in One Piece. At least where people are on the scale of things. I think it's more noticeable for some reason. A person will appear and I I literally have no clue where they are. How can I not be spatially aware in a manga format? That’s the point. Maybe I’m missing something, or I focused too much on the reading. Or it’s simply not to my tastes.
Either way, I can’t really get hyped on One Piece. Lately I tend to notice the flaws. I watched the Netflix series not long ago and that’s really what kicked me back in. I do enjoy it, I just don’t love it. I’ll stop repeating these sentiments as I think I’m getting my point through.
I will say it looks like we are laying the groundwork for better things. Before Marineford there was that prison arc, arguably the worst bit of One Piece, and most people look on Marineford as being one of the best moments.
I do believe One Piece is overrated. I can understand why everyone loves it, in the same way people think DBZ is overrated, I eat it ALL up. I find One Piece is great on small scale stories and telling it through an arc, when it comes to overarching plot in its entirety One Piece leaves a lot to be desired. The smaller parts do make an interesting whole. For me, when I don’t connect or care for these smaller parts of the gestalt I tend to lose interest in the whole thing, even the past which I arguably enjoyed.

Just because you've been training for two years you shouldn't get too cocky - Zoro makes it clear here. Both him and Luffy got in trouble despite being able to still overpower everybody.
It won't happen again. Because they learned their lesson, because the subsequent foes are strong enough on their own that they won't need to bother being tricky, or because Oda decided to not use this plot point again?
Anyway, Punk Hazard's still pretty cluttered, but things are picking up plot-wise. We're done with intros and can take the arc to a high gear. New characters introduced, alliances made, weapons of mass destruction pouring in, and the greatest extended saga begins to rumble as it approaches.

Don't lie to me, this new villain - Caesar Clown - it's David Bowie on Labyrinth with dyed hair.

Trafalgar law seemed get bullied by those straw hat pirates lol

Hate to be such a simp for a man. But Law is my lil emo baby and I love him so much. Don’t hurt my man, evil Flamingo.

(3.0-4.0 rounded up)
The deeper I get into One Piece, the more convoluted it gets and if there’s a gap in time in my readings between volumes it does take me a bit to remember all the various storylines that Oda Sensei set up. That was the case here in this Volume but thankfully after a chapter or two I managed to acclimatize (it helped that Oda made the Straw Hat’s body swaps a little easier to remember this volume). Caesar Clown is a pretty reprehensible villain and Oda did a good job with this volume being what I assume to be a middle point of the Punk Hazard arc with Caesar getting one over on the Straw Hats and unleashing his weapon of mass destruction. Even Law couldn’t seemingly help for a bit, but I appreciated that our mystery man Vergo was able to take Law down for a bit as I personally think the previous volumes made Law a bit OP. Some of the action and storyline is hard to follow this volume but there was quality fights spread throughout. The art is pretty stellar even if it can be disorienting at times.
All in all this volume ranged from fine to good and it sets up what hopefully will be a satisfying climax.

1 - Ya lo comencé devuelta y parece que no leo One piece hace mas de un año cuando en realidad son solo 3 meses. Deje de actualizar lo que leía y veía, tengo problemas para generar ganas con hacer cosas.
2 - Uff.. me mande la cagada de termina este tomo 6 meses después y ya no se que tal es. Bueno, por lo que recuerdo, mas el final que presencie recién, todo indicaría que es un tomo tranqui entre medio del arco y que el mejor va a ser el siguiente. (Si es que no la cagan alargando peleas y metiendo secundarios inútiles a pelear)

what do you mean, you don’t know how to fight? you just beat 10.000 people five minutes ago, you trained two years for this, zoro lost his eye for this

I remember this was around the point in the show when I really started loving Law. I liked him before but I sort of just woke up one day like, “Damn, Law has got to be one of the coolest characters ever. If I could turn into any fictional character it would be him.” I love that dude so much

2025 reread : I love Punk Hazard and this volume is probably my favorite of the arc.
It has everything. Law regretting this alliance 3 minutes after making it. The shambled personalities all over the place. All the strawhats being just THEMSELVES. And appearance from Kid (baby girl still has his painted nails). The strawhats having the best interaction.
There is a page at the beignning of this volume where Usopp explains to Law that Luffy doesn't see 'alliances' in the same way everybody else does. I think it's my favorite page of the whole arc.
I mean... They put Kinemon's body back together and they all treat it like it's a perfectly normal thing to do??? What more could I ask for???
I LOVE IT!! First of all : the shamble of Tashigi and Smoker's personalities is genius. Secondly it's really fun to see Trafalgar realizing that he had NOT THOUGHT THIS OUT WELL ENOUGH!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING??? And then trying to keep the crew on track. I love it. Plus we get glimpses of other people around the world and some idea about what this big arc will be about. This is great!

I think if Ceasar Clown had a theme song it would be...toxic by Britney Spears. But he would have to share with Magellan
Also why am I just finding out now that Sanji is modelled after Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs??

Honestly?
Smoker and Law are what is getting me through these volumes rn.
Caesar Clown is at least a much better antagonist then whatever the fuck Hody Jones was meant to be.
Luffy and Law is an interesting combination/alliance

Arc 26: Punk Hazard
4 years ago, Caesar Clown's experiment have failed. Punk Hazard becomes uninhabitated as the poison gas spread to the entire island. He was expelled from World Government.

I love the Punk Hazard arc so far, so many things are happening, and yet Oda keeps the big plan a secret.
Looking forward to Law and Luffy's alliance.

Me gusta que la acción no para. Parece que después de la guerra en marine fort la historia adquirió un nuevo ritmo. La trama más grande sobre el gobierno mundial, el rey de los piratas, los shichi bukai, etc. Es retomada, ampliada y explorada desde el comienzo de este arco.
Con la aparición de Trafalgar Law en el tomo anterior, sabíamos que las cosas iban a cambiar y aquí nos dan más información sobre lo que está aconteciendo en el gobierno. Parece que Law tiene un plan para hacer algo que pero todavía no nos explica exactamente qué, cómo o por qué. Espero que no demorando aborden las motivaciones de este poderoso personaje que parece tener un plan para todo y aunque en este volumen suceden algunas cosas que no esperaba, tiene una solución para cualquier cosa.
Este volumen nos muestra la acción en varias partes de la isla con distintos personajes. Es importante porque no vemos tanto a Luffy y le dan importancia a otros personajes, por ejemplo al samurai de Wano que parece ser mucho más habilidoso de lo que esperaba.
Gran tomo que me dejó ansioso por ver cómo se soluciona el conflicto en Punk Hazard.

Este tomo estuvo algo aburrido si soy sincero, seguimos en el arco de Punk Hazard, y nos acaban de revelar la identidad de Joker.
