As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, an enchanted Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to stretch like rubber. Its only drawback? He’ll never be able to swim gain—a serious handicap for an aspiring sea dog! Years later, Luffy sets off on his quest to find the “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…

In Water Seven, a serious seafarer’s city and one of the last stops in Paradise, Luffy and his Straw Hat crew come up against competing sets of assassins, each seeking the plans for Pluton, one of the ancient world’s most powerful weapons! Newest Straw Hats member Nico Robin may have the blueprints, but she’s been spirited away on the speeding Sea Train...and may be on the run from the Straw Hats themselves!

Eiichiro 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.

Zoro (on snail phone): “Hey cook, can you hear me?! There are some real nasty people on that train!”
Luffy (in background): “Zoro, I’m telling you it’s OK…”
Sanji (smirk): “Hey, mosshead*. You’re worried about me?”
Zoro (annoyed to be called out): “Like I would worry about you!”
Sanji: “But after hearing Robin’s story, even if my captain ordered me to – I won’t hold back!”

(*Actually “marimo”, a fluffy ball of green algae that resembles Zoro’s head - considered a national treasure in Japan. Seriously, how anyone thinks these two actually hate each other…)

The Straw Hats (minus two members) find Robin standing over mayor and master shipwright Iceberg, surrounded by members of the secret government agency CP9. Considering that the government has been hunting Robin for 20 years, this naturally does not do anything to help their confusion about why she has apparently become an assassin (again)! But is all as it appears? Luffy doesn’t think so, but he is troubled enough by the events so far that he isn’t fighting at his full potential. Sanji, though, never seriously doubted Robin, and has taken off separately to pursue his own scheme to save her.

Sanji: (kicks anonymous-man-in-black Agent 1 off train)
Agent 2: “Who are you?”
Agent 3: “I saw that kick! He’s not just a civilian! He must be a person of interest!”
Sanji (lighting cigarette): “If you say that to my face, I might just blush.”


We also get a closer look at Franky, who up ‘til now has only been an antagonist to the Straw Hats. We get to see the connections between this shipbreaker/gang leader, the seemingly-respectable Iceberg, and the master shipwright fishman named Tom who built both the sea train that features so heavily in this arc AND the ship of the former king of the pirates. Franky and Iceberg have become targets of the government just as much as Robin, because all three potentially hold clues to how to build a super-weapon. We also begin to understand Franky’s style as a leader. Though he has more of a top-down approach than Luffy, his gang is truly the Franky family just as much as the Straw Hat crew is a family. Being older and more experienced (specifically regarding ships), he’s the one who’s finally able to get Usopp to admit the dire state of the Going Merry. And, having seen his mentor disappeared by the government in the same manner as Robin (not to mention being arrested by CP9 himself) he’s pretty quick to side with the Straw Hats to get her back!

There’s a lot here on the themes of the responsibility and pride of creation, represented by Iceberg and Tom, respectively.
Iceberg: “ “When you bring a weapon into this world, you have to take responsibility!! It doesn’t matter if you’re the one who pulls the trigger, they still have the power to hurt someone! And that someone could be a person you love!”
Tom: “’Not my ships’?...That’s something you must never say! There’s nothing good, and nothing bad in building a ship, no matter what kind of ship it is…But…You, at least, have to love them! The one who created them must not deny them!”
(Very ‘Frankenstein’, that last point!)

There’s also a pretty clear rejection of the idea that a person’s existence can be a crime – which queer readers in particular tend to get a bit misty-eyed over, for obvious reasons!
We also get a pretty funny scene that I think strongly hints that Nami, Luffy, and Zoro all kinda have a mutual understanding that none of them is interested in the opposite gender (or, at minimum, no interest that way in each other!)

The encounters with CP9 give us our first good look at seemingly-magical abilities that have nothing to do with devil fruits. Not the VERY first look: Shanks used a not-devil-fruit ability when saving Little Luffy from a sea-serpent…but that wasn’t obvious at the time! The knowledge that this is possible will play an important role as the Straw Hats further develop their own fighting techniques.

(*I don’t think a story this long and rich can be “spoiled”, so if you want more details and analysis please read on – I’m just putting the rest in “spoilers” to save space, bc I had a lot to say about this one!*)

A fun, action packed addiction to the Water Seven saga, that takes place LITERALLY aboard a runaway train; it has everyting fans would want: the requisite action, humor, and unusual villains for the Straw Hats to combat.

Have to say, while I don't MIND Robin at all, she hasn't quite grown on me as quickly as some of the other characters did. (I am glad the focus is primarily on the crew, though, as the last few volumes have had a lot of "outsiders" influencing the plots. Hpopefulyl they'll stay on this track so we get an emotional payoff...)

And we get a look at Frankys backstore, which is interesting enough, I guess?

Marathon buddy read with the siblings. A run away train racing to rescue Robin. Pretty much all action and various straw hats fights in a build up to Ennis lobby. It’s getting good.

God I love this Water 7 arc. It's just so good. Anyway, these three volumes bring it to the end as we get to the Enies Lobby arc. I really love the relationships and character moments in this entire saga. I really like the stuff with Robin (though I'm still expecting a backstory sometimes soon). The Usopp stuff is actually very funny and I love that Sanji is getting a lot of attention. Even Zoro and Luffy have some really great moments in this arc.

Regarding the new characters... I love Franky. He's really funny walking around in his underwear and pretending not to be emotional. The Franky family is also great here with the whole "bro" thing.

Overall, this was really good and I'm very excited for what follows. I know that the real emotional part of One Piece is just getting started (and there is also just about 200 hundred chapters until the Marinefold arc). 5 stars are of course not a question here. They're a fact.

Anyway, that's everything that I can say without diving into SPOILERS.

Now... time for the juicy stuff. Aka my specific feelings about certain characters and events.

Let's start at the beginning, shall we?
Aka Franky and Usopp. I love these guys so much. First of all, they're funny as heck. Especially Franky who just shines so far in this arc. Secondly, I love their dynamic. They're bros now, bonding over Usopp leaving the crew (but honestly, Franky's reaction to that was golden). And it's just really wholesome how Franky told Usopp that Going Merry has a personality. It fits well with his backstory.

Speaking about the backstory... I love it. Tom building that ship is so kind of him (especially after everyone wants to kill/imprison him for building a pirate ship). This fits well with the ending part where Tom tells Franky never to disown a ship and confesses to his "crime" of building Gold Roger some awesome ship. I also really like the dynamic between Franky and Iceburg and it's interesting to see how and why Franky became a cyborg. Not to mention... the dynamic between Iceburg and Franky in the present is really wholesome... especially the moment where Iceburg was like I'm glad you're alive or something.

Anyway, let me talk about Robin now. It was really nice how Luffy didn't let her leave, but it was even better when she betrayed them in order for them not to get hurt because of her. Unfortunately, that woman is really stubborn. They probably could've saved her already if it weren't for her mindset that she has to be killed just for existing... the government dude's words, not mine. And I'm still waiting for her backstory which is apparently very sad.

However, it was not just Robin who was the center of attention here. Let me discuss Sanji's role in these 3 volumes. This dude is literally amazing here. He sneaks on the train, saves Usopp and Franky, and then chops those fucking noodles. He truly is the best part of these volumes. He spins those knives like he's fucking Zoro (also I love his reasoning for never fighting with weapons, specifically knives... it fits with his character). Either way, he looked badass as hell and I love how he just acknowledged Sogeking as Usopp even if Usopp was trying to hide it.

Regarding Sogeking though... I absolutely love what Usopp is doing. It's funny because everyone knows who he really is (even fucking Zoro) - except for Luffy and Chopper, who are either extremely stupid or naive - and he still tries to keep the facade on. I don't know why but I just laughed so hard when I saw Zoro's thought bubble upon seeing Sogeking. He was like... wait, that's Usopp and I live for it.

Speaking about Zoro... him and Luffy were actually pretty cool as well. I really liked the scene where they cut through the wave and the one with Zoro cutting the wagon of the train where those evil government dudes were. It looked cool. Oh, and the town scene as well. Luffy breaking the buildings and Zoro cutting the chimney was just really neat. I can't wait to see what they'll do to these weird government dudes in Enies Lobby.

The central theme of this book seemed to be friendship and looking out for others you care about. When Luffy and his crew arrived on the Giant island, where they found Dorry and Brogy, the giants were fighting against each other for a century. However, when other enemies come in and attack Dorry, Brogy is mad that the enemies have ruined their fight. They eventually became friends because they realized how significant their existence was for them. Luff's team also showed bonding and friendship through helping Nami get over her cold. When Nami got sick because of the climate in Grand Line, which is harsh and unexpecting. They headed to another island to find a doctor for her and even had to climb a snowy mountain with lot of danger. This shows real friendship and addresing the message that friends should look for each other when they are suffering or having a hard time.

Enter CP9, a group of anti-pirate assassins on a quest for the superweapon called Pluton. This government sanctioned agency has the Straw Hats in their sight. In a high-stakes chase, Luffy and the gang must survive an epic tidal wave and catch up to a hurtling sea train full of these agents all with the mission of saving their newest member Nico Robin.

But Robin has a dark past and seems to be working for the enemy. Has she switched sides or is there something more going on?

This omnibus greatly expands on the story of the previous volume. I am really enjoying the Water 7 arc; the stakes are high, and the opponents are a real threat.

I also enjoyed the development of Frankie, formally Cutty Flam, notorious wreaker and former shipwright. His backstory is suitably tragic for one of Oda's protagonists, but he seems to gel very well with the Straw Hat crew. I cannot wait to see more of him.

The gang must save Robin for she is on her way to Enies Lobby, the court-room headquarters of the Navy and when a criminal goes through the gates there, they are doomed. The story and arc therefore are very fast paced.

Series: One Piece #37-39
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good

So much happens in this volume. The true identities of Cipher Pol 9 agents are revealed, Franky and Iceburg’s history is told, Robin leaves with CP9 and is taken to Ennies Lobby as a prisoner, and the Straw Hats will stop at nothing to save her. Water Seven is a fascinating city and I really loved learning about how they deal with a sinking city. Franky and Iceburg’s backstory was heartbreaking and continues the theme of found family. I forgot a lot about Franky’s history so it was nice to revisit his backstory.

Robin is the main focus of the Water Seven arc. She has left the crew by force and the Straw Hats are determined to get her back. I like how we are slowly learning about Robin and why she has had a bounty on her head since she was a child. This whole story arc just shows how important found family is for Luffy and how far he will go to protect his crew. I am really excited to see how the crew rescues Robin and deals with CP9, especially since their first battle was a bit of a failure.

Okay. I'm starting to get what's so hyped about this arc. I've begun seeing the trends of Oda's writing by now, but this arc has some unique qualities, especially by forcing the characters to have these big fights/falling outs with each other (Usopp breaking up with the crew over the Merry Go, Robin betraying them bc of the CP9 plot).

I have a 6th sense that Robin's backstory is going to be incredibly tragic (that on top of more Sanji backstory stuff later?). I'm predicting black paneled little Robin in the next omnibus for sure. Oh and the Franky backstory was compelling too! Lots of things intertwined about human worth and being proud of your creations. It's the most heart-stirring stuff so far, I think.

While I did think the last few arcs of One Piece, I still liked them well enough. However, this volume, it does change a lot.

First part of this volume is good, presenting us to Water 7, Franky and a whole cast of great new characters. And then... things get insane.

While the pacing is not as neat as Early One Piece, we have a barrage of funny moments, emotional moments, great creative fights, twists and turns. I was reminded exactly what I liked this world so much - how creative and insane it could be at times.

I'm hyped for what's to come.

I feel like the amount of action panels in this volume was a little hard for me to keep up with. I felt like I had to watch the anime to get clarification on what was happening. I think I got lucky that there was more dialogue and flashback forward in the last volume, so the heavy action scenes felt a little hard for me to find my footing in. I'm sure it’s something that I’ll get acclimated to (a very it's me not you kind of situation). But also felt very anticipatory of Ennies Lobby in a way that made me giddy to get back to my girl Nico Robin again.

I'm not that excited about Franky, but he has a cool design. The twist upon twists this arc ahs are amazing.
This is getting chaotic in a very cool way! I'm so hyped.
The train fights were kinda boring but I appreciate my boy Sanji getting focus

I really like the unity of the crew—they are a family, and each member complements the others so well! These volumes are packed with adventure, and the storyline is amazing. I enjoy seeing how the characters grow so much while still preserving their essence. I especially liked how Luffy and two others crew put aside their differences to fight a common enemy—something the church could learn from. I never expected to like this manga as much as I do.

This just keeps getting better and better. I'm so excited for Robin to have an emotional moment and embrace the help of the crew the way Nami did at Arlong Park. I'm just craving togetherness and resolution amongst the gang! The Water Seven setting was fantastic and I'm very excited to see where Enies Lobby takes us. Also, I really didn't like Franky at first but I should've trusted Oda because now I really do. Onto the next one!

What can I say that I haven't said before about this series? It's action packed with daring acts of heroism. It's funny and sometimes very silly. Most of all the main characters have so much heart with strong bonds of friendship. I'm so glad my got me to read this series. I am hooked!

The second omnibus in the Water Seven arc. Interesting character drama, a flashback to Franky's backstory, and fearsome villains ready for the Straw Hats to take on. And the introduction of Sogeking, of course. Terrific stuff. (A-)

Muchas emociones en tres volúmenes que sólo fueron acción y momentos climáticos en varias ocasiones, manteniendo la tensión alta todo el tiempo hasta llegar a un tremendo cliffhanger en el volumen 39. Como siempre, super divertido y bien contado.

This new arc is insanely good. The stakes are huge and they involve Robin the crew member with the most mystery. It is nice to see the group come together for one of their own instead of strangers they meet on the sea. I just know there will be emotional moments ahead.
