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.

OMG, the LORE in this volume! We take a break from the current drama on Elbaf to look back 38 years to the “God Valley incident”. And, man, we are getting information about soooo much: Gold D. Roger and Garp’s relationship, why Gloriosa (aka Granny Nyan) left Amazon Lily, how Shakky and Rayleigh got together, Blackbeard’s origins, how Kuma got his devil fruit, how Dragon first got radicalized (enough to leave the marines), how young Shanks ended up with the Roger pirates, and more!

I didn’t think it was possible to dislike the World Government and the Celestial Dragons more, but DAMN! Shank’s dad is definitely on my “somebody please kill this SOB” list, maybe even higher than Judge ). And of course they not only hold these kinds of “games”, but specifically target . I was going to just throw in a “don’t worry guys, One Piece is just a silly pirate story, not political at all!” joke by echoing MelonTeee’s observation that the Roger pirates’ cook is a bearded guy called MARX. But then I recalled a bit at the end of the dedication to The River Has Roots which I just read, in which Amal El-Mohtar comments on how violence against Lebanon (now ongoing once again) has been justified by saying it ‘isn’t a country’. That’s exactly how non-affiliated countries are treated by the WG in One Piece; their residents are held to have no rights at all.

Honestly, even though it frustrates me as much as his pirate friends that wants to join the World Government so bad, I do get it; probably even more so than the Fishmen because he lives on the surface, he knows that non-affiliated islands are a target (even if inhabited by humans). Allying with a genocidal/imperialist power won’t bring long-term peace (if you join, they will inevitably use you as soldiers…or labor to get money to fund those wars), but it can buy short-term safety from the worst of what they could do. And, boy, do we see an example of that “worst” here! I found myself remembering Mihawk’s comment that he isn’t the kind of brute to hunt rabbits with a cannon – there meaning that he didn’t intend to go all-out against some cocky kid who thinks he’s all that just because he can use three swords. Does he know what kind of “rabbit hunt” happened here? Time will tell, I suppose.

Some of the best/wildest-but-too-spoilery lore drops:

On the positive side, I like that we have an answer for how to help Dory and Broggy (in the current timeline)! What you need is . I’d love to see Luffy figure that out and get some help from the Straw Hats’ own pair who could fight for a hundred years without actually hurting each other, if

St. Saturn: “There is a danger that such wanton destruction might bring about the birth of something entirely new. That must not happen!” LOL, too late, bitch!

4.5 stars.

Can I love this series any more? The answer is a resounding no.

At this point, I think every arc is just destined to outdo the last, and it's not even trying. Well, no, okay, that's unfair; each arc has their own unique mark that make each of them special, it's just that these last couple of arcs just are very intense, and that makes them feel more epic than any before, because of the weight of all the world building that they carry, and how flawlessly Oda executes each plot point.

What I can say without doubt, is that the last couple of arcs have felt more claustrophobic and impossible than any before. Elbaf, in particular feels like an insurmountable mountain, and is there a more fitting feeling for it?

Getting to know, really know, all these new characters has just given me more characters to love, because in a story with hundreds of characters that I already love, I definitely needed more; but, hey! Oda never misses the mark.

Como viene siendo habitual en el arco de Elbaf, otro tomo histórico, contándonos por fin el incidente de God Valley (nunca creí que pasaría lo que pasó) y el viaje de Rocks (personajazo). Eso sí, me hubiera gustado más desarrollo de los enfrentamientos, pero en esto confío en el anime.

Oda, dinos ya qué pasó con Imu, Joy Boy y DAVY 🤪🤪🤪😭😭😩😩😩😩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

volume 114: chapter 1156-1166

holy shit.. the god valley massacre.. and the rocks pirates and roger pirates came!! omg garp.

ohh, is this how shamrock and shanks was brought up separately?? garling's people was trying to get them back from dragon, but dragon only managed to save shanks. he lost the baby BUT THE BABY FOUND HIS WAY TO ROGER.

RAYLEIGH SAVED SHAKKY!!! the pirates are so cute.

kuma ate the devil fruit! kaido too!

omg, my heart kept racing throughout this volume. the chapters are insane.

mu is afraid of davy. mu turned rocks against his own people; rocks is cursed to end his bloodline. while facing roger and garp, rocks managed to let them know and pleaded them to end his life. I HAVE CHILLS. rocks was ultimately killed by mu’s people.

the world government sold the story of garp as the hero.

harald and rocks’ friendship ended abruptly like that. harald broke off his horns to atone for the sins of giants and to make sure the children of elbaph will be in peace, he’s willing to be a slave.

this is when dragon quit the navy.

Pas mal, tout les évènements se regroupent MAIS
- est ce qu'on peut arrêter de sexualiser les persos féminins et d'en faire des trophées?
- non vous me ferez pas apprécier Garp, j'y crois pas du tout au bullshit de "je reste dans la marine pour protéger les jeunes", c'est un complice autant que les autres.

Behold! The SPOILERS!

Volume 114 or rather the God Valley incident volume. Basically, everything in this volume revolves around the incident and we’re also still in Loki’s flashbacks (don’t know why this is included here but let’s not question it). Anyway, I love this volume so much. It’s great. It has some really iconic moments and the ones that hit hard hit REALLY hard.

My favorite thing is probably Shakky and Rayleigh. I just love these two lovebirds and I’m obsessed with how Rayleigh is in love with Shakky but he’s also the only one actually giving her space and not being all lovey dovey around her (as opposed to Roger, lol). I absolutely love how she left him that message and because of it even Roger backed down a little. And then at God Valley… loved how Rayleigh saved her. They are one of my favorite One Piece ships for sure.

Another amazing aspect of this volume is the relationship between Garp and Roger. I love their rivalry but also how much they actually respect each other. Also can we just appreciate the fact that I see Luffy and Ace in them, thank you (especially Garp who just does what he feels is right just like Luffy). But back to their dynamic, I love how they cooperate to defeat Rocks and I love that none of them really wants to do it but they know it’s the only way. I also really appreciate how Roger’s crew decided to save Garp as well even though he is basically their enemy.

I guess I should also mention Rocks here since he is rocking it in this volume (get it?). I mean, this guy is the descendant of Davy Jones so he is a huge deal. Also I love how he went to the God Valley mainly to protect his son and his woman. I always thought he was gonna be this big bad guy but no, he is pretty chill. Deranged for sure, but a decent person nonetheless.

And finally, we have Shanks. So we already knew that he was Figarland’s son and that he had a twin brother but I love the story of how he ended up on Roger’s ship in a treasure chest. It was really cute and I loved how Dragon saved him. I think he is also a great character in this volume with this purpose of saving people cause he finds what the celestial dragons do disgusting. I really like the scene with him in prison at the end and Garp basically helping him escape even though he knows his son will never respect him.

This is a great volume and it deserves 5 stars. The God Valley incident lived up to its hype and I’m really excited to see how the flashback continues and how all of this impacted Loki as well.

Rocks and God's Valley.

Seriously hard hitting story here. And not just because of the Domi Reversi, but for the fact that powerful entities can just treat coveted countries like play things and hunt the regular people like sport.

And the fact that this is art imitating life is not lost on me. Or on anyone.

Beautiful backstory. But painful.

⤷ Thoughts. One of my favourite things about One Piece is how big the world is, so learning the lore about the infamous Roger pirates and those they ran into is just such a great time, this was so fun!!

Thank you Oda-sensei for moustacheless Roger I am forever in your debt \(´∀`●)/

Decades prior to the Straw Hats, some of the greatest pirate crews battled across the seas, including Rocks D. Xebec - but when a shared comrade is kidnapped by the World Government, the bloody clash of outlaws, marines and holy soldiers turns God Valley into a hellish landscape...Oda delivers a grand entry overflowing with action-packed twists and shocking reverberations.
