For Arabasta!!!
September 25, 2023
The race against the clock continues with this latest volume as Crocodile continues his search for the secret destructive weapon. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang is out hunting for the hidden location of the bomb that will take down the entire kingdom. The highlight of this volume has to be in Luffy's return and it's nothing short of insane and hilarious! The volume ends on a cliffhanger with two Baroque members entering the picture. This franchise story-arc is slowly coming to an end and things are getting more and more exciting!

Lo leí anoche y se me mezclo con lo que leí del siguiente jajaja pero en este me parece que siguió la pelea con Luffy y Crocodile, la segunda y Luffy volvió a perder pero lo salvó las gotitas de agua que había lanzado al aire.
La verdadera historia cof cof jajajsj Muestran la motivación de Robin por ayudar a la organización, la gran recompensa que le dieron siendo tan pequeñita.
Y por otra parte los marinos ayudando, ese Zoro y su sentido de la orientación 😅🤣 no andaba ni cerca pero al final igual llegó de los primeros xd

"This hole looks crocodile-ish"
PLEASE LUFFY 🤣🤣 i laughed harder that i should!! but the countdown was actually pretty good to build up the issue that they and the whole albasta are only seconds away from blowing up. of course the comedy wouldn't be gone just because of that!
but luffy and mr. crocodile's fight?? *chef's kiss*. this is so freaking good!!i'm now even more convinced to watch the anime because the fight scenes must have been so good!!

Quite a bit more set up in this one, if I remember correctly. Alabasta drags at some points.

No one until now has managed to keep Luffy down even once, and Crocodile goes and does it twice. The first great example of the main character's insane determination, willpower, and endurance. Even Crocodile is stumped: he could have easily taken one more round if only he'd kept his cool, but he let it get into his head and went to a physical brawl and suddenly it starts to look a lot worse for him. But he might still win, I'm not saying anything, no spoilers.
Did you know there's a pretty popular theory that Crocodile is in fact Luffy's mother? Crazy, right?
Even with all the henchmen down, the stakes just keep getting higher. Most other stories would have called it a day by now. Let Crocodile go down the second round. But Oda had more things to say. A bomb to drop. Literally.

This shit is epic af😫

More of the same again. Lots of action, fighting and looking for bombs. And the intriguing introduction of another agent but I'm desperate for some wrapping up of events by this point.

This volume starts off with Chapter 196: 1
The Arabasta Arc is getting close to being over, but in the meantime the King's special Gaurd the Duck Claw Squad are willing to go to their death's protecting the Royal Family. This to me seemed to be a horrible piece of tragic irony, and goes to show how cowardly Crocodile really is.
While on the other side of the city, Mr. 1 & Zoro's battle is coming to a conclusion. This battle gave Zoro wonderful character growth, and has endeared himself to me more. Why can't he be a real person? T_T
I'll write more when my editing mode hits.
Happy Readings!
Fly my Pretties! Fly!

Crocodile’s continued fights with Luffy are so entertaining!! He’s definitely the most impressive villain the crew has faced!

One Piece, Vol. 22 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (196–205) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues the Arabasta Arc. Despite his agents' defeats, Crocodile is still confident that his plans to take over the kingdom are nearing fruition. With Arabasta embroiled in a civil war of his own design, Crocodile needs only to destroy both warring parties in one fell swoop to take control of the country.
Knowing that a canon is the most practical way of fulfilling this purpose he sets to put this plan into motion, while Nefertari Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates try to find its hiding place before it is too late. Meanwhile, Crocodile searches for Pluton, forcing King Cobra to lead him and Nico Robin to an ancient stone called a Ponegliff underneath the castle.
However, when Nico Robin says the Ponegliff has no information on the Plulton, Crocodile tries to kill her and escape before his cannon is fired. Meanwhile, Monkey D. Luffy, having recovered and learned from their previous encounter, engages Crocodile in battle.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. The narrative continues the Arabasta Arc as it is nearing the end. Crocodile's compatriots may have been defeated, but his plans of taking over Arabasta have a good chance of working. The Straw Pirates plans to stop Crocodile with Monkey D. Luffy recovered to fight Crocodile once again.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 22 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

ALABASTA ARC - PART 5
1. chaka is batman confirmed?
2. BAROQUE WORKS WHEN I CATCH YOU BAROQUE WORKS WHEN I CATCH YOU BAROQUE WORKS WHEN I CATCH YOU
3. luffy's friendship is probably the most healing one you can have. how many people has he given trust back? confidence? love?
on the other hand - he is such an annoying enemy, because he doesn't take shit serious and has time to be himself, and that pisses a lot of opponents off, because - well, they WANT to be seen as a threat, and not being taken seriously is a huge hurt to their ego and their pride
4. luffy using blood instead of water. brilliant.
5. whenever sir crocodile says "this is the end" - cue 'skyfall' by adele

Empieza de forma un tanto confusa, con cosas salidas de la nada que no vienen a cuento, pero en cuanto aparece Luffy todo se vuelve a encauzar y ya entramos en la recta final de Arabasta, mezclando bien los momentos de humor con la tensión de la batalla final.

Este tomo me ha aburrido un poco pero es que no estaba de humor, y la mitad de cosas que pasaban me daban un poco igual 😅
Pero al menos tenemos a Luffy!

El arco de Arabastra se acerca a su final en un volumen más cargado de acción que nunca. Ahora todo el foco esta centrado en las batallas entre Luffy y Cocodrile, cuya lucha, en dos tandas, marca los tempos de un volumen en el que la tensión se puede cortar con un cuchillo. Se nota en estos combates la evolución de Luffy, ya no se dedica solo a luchar, y punto, cada vez se vuelve más analítico con sus enemigos y a pensarse más lo que hace, y esa es una evolución agradable. Pero no todo es luchas y peleas, y esto ayuda a desengrasar la trama del tomo. De la mano de Nico Robin conocemos uno de los temas centrales más importantes de toda la historia: la verdadera historia y los Poneglyphs. Robin es quizás, junto a Luffy y Cocodrile, el personaje más destacable de todo el tomo, ya que además de descubir cosas sobre su pasado, es traicionada por Cocodrile una vez que comprueba que ya no le sirve para sus planes de encontrar el alma el arma conocida como Plutón, que le permitirá ganar un gran poder militar, siendo este el autentico centro de los planes de Baroque Works. Además es destacable señalar como la revuelta en Arabastra alcanza su punto álgido con unas cuotas de dramatismo e intensidad que deja a todo lo pasado anteriormente por los suelos, con una francotirador de la banda apunto de accionar una bomba que destruirá toda la ciudad de Alubarma, y que los miembros restantes de los mugiwaras deben encontrar. Entre tanta tensión se agradecen los momentos de humor, la verdad.

Luego... LUFFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
Ya. Eso es todo.

Momentos que se sienten como: war is over
January 30, 2025
ok, one of the things I think is the reason why I love alabasta so much is that it's the first one piece arc where Oda isn't forgiving to ANYONE. luffy battles crocodile the first time and LOSES. sanji and zoro fight people who are essentially their equals and barely win. usopp and chopper fight the lowest ranks of the group and are left barely standing after getting blown up several times. nami (who in most other arcs is left mostly unharmed) is left limping and bloody. what's most gutwrenching is that kouza can't even stop his own troops from advancing despite knowing the truth. vivi, who's only known peace in her kingdom returns to it completely wartorn and in bloodshed, ignored by her people and underestimated by her father. robin gets her sense of purpose completely turned upside down by a boy who's gonna save her life (again) in a few weeks.
he's relentless in alabasta. despite it all, the straw hats are there, acting as the foundation for those in need, as they will go on to do time and time again for others. this is just the beginning.
