Gabababa, I finished another story in the same day 😁
I believe Nico Robin made an appearance in this issue but she has a nickname from Baroque Works, and they didn't reveal her real name yet.
Actually he didn't even reveal her powers, he intentionally made her look mysterious not revealing that she did all these things with the hands power.
I like the giants, like Usopp I find them fascinating, brave, and honorable.
I don't remember that the group spent one year on little garden though, I wonder how they will end up leaving!
Also about Copy and Helembo's story, I don't think I like it, most of its one pages panels are stretched and could be taken out without replacement.
Anyway, fun times, I am not making crazy progress in anything I am reading this days on account of writing half of my Book 2 in a little more than 2 weeks, but this is important, I have to do it for my future, and who knows this could also turn into a legacy that I'd be proud to leave behind.

Average installment, but that doesn't make it any less fun. I love the potential of the Grand Line and the numerous islands that are all unique. It means literally anything, and everything, can happen. And this time it's giants. And spies. And bounties. It's still setting up the story arc at this point, hence the lower stars, but this has got a lot of mileage in it.

First volume I wasn't very happy with.
Nami is a mafioso level money lender, which is rather stupid. Her reasoning to be a thief has evaporated, so charging a crewmate crippling interest on money he didn't even spend is stupid conflict for the sake of a dumb joke. It's not a real plot point, so it's fine. But it put me on the wrong foot while reading this.
Then we have Luffy. Luffy is always an idiot of the first-degree, and it's part of his charm. But this one is him being so completely and utterly brain-dead that it started affecting the plot. Nope.
It's still fine, and later volumes don't have the problems this one does, but this one was so disappointing after the previous volumes.

How is it these volumes keep getting better and better? This one is part of the Alabasta arc and I'm living for it. Luffy and his lovable crew of pirates are set on helping the Princess of Alabasta return to her island to save her Kingdom...but they have encountered a rather large surprise...

One Piece, Vol. 13 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (109–117) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon completes the Whisky Peak Arc. Roronoa Zoro fights the four remaining bounty hunters as a far-greater threat enters the village: the high-ranking Baroque Works agents Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. Their target is not the Straw Hats but Miss Wednesday, whose true identity is Nefeltari Vivi – Princess of the kingdom of Alabasta.
Vivi runs for her life and Nami makes a deal to save Vivi's life with Mr. 8 – who is actually Igaram, captain of the Alabastan Royal Guard. Nami then forces Zoro to take on the agents. Out of immediate danger, Vivi tells the Straw Hats that Mr. 0, who is in charge of Baroque Works, plans to use the organization to overthrow her country and reveals his true identity: Sir Crocodile – like Mihawk, a member of the government-sanctioned Seven Warlords of the Sea pirate group.
The Straw Hats agree to bring Vivi to Alabasta. They reach the jungle-covered island of Little Garden, where the giants Dorry and Broggy engage in a hundred-year-long battle.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. Matters picks up as the Straw Hat Pirates find themselves in a middle of a war between the rightful royal line and pirates from the Seven Warlords of the Sea – a governmental-sanctioned group. It is up to the Straw Hat Pirates to bring Vivi – the Princess of Alabasta home – safe and sound.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 13 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Zoro single handedly takes on assassins of a mysterious organization, Baroque Works. When the dust settles a misunderstanding with his captain leads to a brawl between the two! One Piece volume 13 begins to lay the foundation for an epic main arc with a story filled with conspiracy and intrigue. The Straw Hats meet a princess they must escort to her nation that is being controlled by a nefarious pirate. To make matters worse, he's not just any pirate, but one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile. It would be one thing if they could easily make it to her island, but Crocodile's men and women are all over the sea doing his bidding (including two powerful devil fruit users already at Whiskey Peak with our friends).
After proving to their new cargo that they can handle these thugs, Luffy and co head out for the next island. Along the way they meet Nico Robin, Crocodile's second in command, who appears to have motives of her own. She attempts to give the crew a shortcut to their goal, but Luffy refuses stating it would ruin the adventure. With that, the Strawhats enter the next sub arc, Little Garden (the name of the next island).
Luffy treats this island like an amusement park and soon meets two giants who have been locked in a huge battle for a century. Oda treats this paticular sub arc differently as we are not presented with an antagonist just yet. Instead we get more of the motives of the giants and see the effect it has on Luffy and Usopp. The ending turns the tables, however, when it is clear that our heroes are not alone on the island.
Action panels keep the adrenaline going and the new plot gets you amped up for future events. Volume 13 delivers tons of new characters with standouts like the princess Vivi and the giants Dory and Broggy. The different approach Oda gives in Little Garden's beginnings is a fresh touch and the ending will have you wondering just what the heck is going on. Hold onto your seats, Baroque Works is one thrilling ride!!!

I'm sure I've mentioned a number of times already, that battles in a battle manga must have some stakes for the people involved, or I won't stay interested for long. That's one of the reasons why I gave up on Fairy Tail less than halfway through. Luffy and Zolo's fight in this volume not only didn't have any stakes at all, it started for a nonsensical reason. It only existed, as far as I can tell, for a couple of Baroque Works goons to be defeated as collateral damage.
I like the idea of the gang making their way onto the early parts of the Grand Line, and getting a princess back home along the way. The island of giants seems like a pointless episode, but that's okay. We'll be moving along to something new shortly. :)
In a medium that relies overmuch on the overfamiliar at times, One Piece is refreshing and fun. There are always a few panels in each volume that surprise me with a laugh. Even this early on, I can see why this series has been beloved by young people around the world for almost thirty years.

It's pretty well-known that Oda came up with the character of Nefertari Vivi midway through this arc, and incorporated her into the existing Miss Wednesday character... and it doesn't quite go without a hitch. Her personality and attitude and even appearance just kind of shift very suddenly and dramatically and somewhat jarringly. It's not a terrible fix, but I think he could have used to spread it out a little bit. If only he'd gotten the idea a couple chapters earlier.
Also, Luffy picking a fight with Zoro made for a funny scene and some plot advancement, but it really was a particularly dumb move on his part, and completely out of character. At this point it's been well established that he would trust his friends through thick and thin, not to mention being a pretty good judge of character in general, yet he takes the side of a bunch of shady figures he's only known for an hour or so, over his first companion, for the sake of food.
For these reasons it's a bit of a drop from the previous volume, even with a great introduction to Miss All Sunday, and even better first glimpse of giants (technically we had John Giant earlier but you couldn't really tell). At the time of this writing, over two decades later, we still haven't been to Elbaf! Even Oda could not have realized what a long game he played.

LITTLE GARDEN ARC - PART 1
1. the rivalry between sanji and zoro will never cease to absolutely fill me with delight, i love it
2. PREHISTORIC ISLAND. that is so fucking cool hahaha, i feel like this series will have many different amazing concepts to present. kind of reminds me of the floating islands in brandon sanderson's book 'cytonic', in which each floating island has a whole ass different vegetation, animal inhabitants, creatures, *aliens* even.
3. luffy being able to immediately become friends with the giants is the best presentation of his character i've seen (yet. more to be determined)
4. why would they have to wait 1 year for the log pose to reset? if so many people have tried, and they've docked ship onto this island, musn't their utensils and ultimately their log pose also be discarded somewhere on the island, all reset and ready to be used?

Zawsze mam problem, żeby określić co jest lepsze w przypadku One Piece'a - anime czy manga. Jest to zdecydowanie jedna z nielicznych serii, które dobrze mi się czyta po polsku.
Co prawda, jestem zdecydowanie do tyłu jeśli chodzi o mangę, ale pozwala to świetnie odświeżyć pamięć i wypełnić luki, które pozostawia anime.
Eiichiro Oda wie co robi: dobre tempo, świetnie przedstawieni nowi bohaterowie, tylko trzymać tak dalej!

Where at the edge of the grand line. The crew got their first contract and even meet the BEST ANIME GIRL EVER Robin.

This volume continues the story arc centered around Baroque Works and their odd little secret organization. This time around, we discover the identity of someone who was a spy amongst their organization and ends up requiring the help of Luffy and his crew.
The adventure takes them on a mysterious island where one of the most unexpected settings is brought to life, turning this series even nuttier than it already was. As they discover the inhabitants, the volume ends on a cliffhanger promising an epic battle.

'Snore.'
'Fool. At least be awake when you're taken hostage!!'
Zoro's time to fucking shine! \O/ That Zoro and Luffy fight made me legit go fight! Fight! Fight! It was just so ridiculous and so them especially the ending lsjfls haha.
So we get to know way more about the Baroque Works and it's great to see some of the characters behaving exactly like the Straw Hats would LOL (looking at you Vivi). Also, Karoo! Heh.
Little Garden, though alfjld. I was not expecting!

El girito, jajaja. Qué pena que lo de la isla me lo he olido según han dicho el nombre y se han hecho la pregunta. Lástima que me ha dado poco "fanservice" de Luffy explorándola, porque habría sido genial.
