I love it its fun and entertaining

This literally had me on the edge the entire time. Such a wonderful story without taking the drawing into account which is one of the best I’ve ever seen.Oda is a master of this craft.

This book was AMAZING. Luffy vs. The Crocodile? Awesome! I highly recommend this book. The only thing I disliked about it, was that one of the battles focused entirely on two of the characters for most of the last half of the book. I would have liked it better if they showed you every group every once in a while.

Luffy and the Crocodile are having a showdown in the desert, as everyone scrambles toward Alubarna. The Crocodile is a tough customer, but Luffy refuses to give up, no matter what. Is it possible he’s met his match? Captain Smoker announces he has other business to attend to and tells Tashigi to decide for herself what she wants to do. What is he up to?Vivi and the rest of Luffy’s crew utilize a huge crab named Pincers to navigate the desert, but a problem arises when they reach the Sandora River. Oddly enough, this crab doesn’t like water! What are they to do? Looks like a job for Karoo and the Supersonic Duck Squad! The Rebels are also on the move, but Baroque Works is determined that Vivi and Koza not cross paths. Wonder why?As Usopp and Sanji race to Vivi’s aid, she encounters someone who looks like Usopp. But luckily she knows the difference. The real Usopp and Vivi, along with Chopper, come face to face with Mr. 4 and Merry Christmas, and Usopp becomes engaged in a game of Whack a Mole! When things take a turn for the worse, though, he decides to flee…There is a lot going on in this volume, not gonna lie. I found it confusing at times to remember who is where and doing what. Nonetheless I think we’re approaching the end of this arc, hopefully on to bigger and better things. I imagine we’ll lose Vivi after this, as she will be needed to take care of her kingdom. Perhaps things will work out with her and Koza and they will do this together. I admit I didn’t care for her at first, as a member of Baroque Works, but her real identity and personality have come out and she is much nicer than I thought. Another great volume, on to the next!

A MUST READ FOR ALL MANGA FANS, ONE PIECE FANS, ANIME FANS... btw I started watching One Piece anime before reading the Manga... I then decided to get the manga and read them. They are amazing :D

The actions continues as Luffy takes on Crocodile by himself. It's intense and shows just how tough of a villain he is and how thr Straw Hats will have to put everything on the line to beat him.
