A wonderful end to the Egghead arc and a lovely start to Elbaf. The transition felt smooth, and the moment we reached the new place, the scale and locations were immediately impressive. There’s a strong sense that something much bigger is about to unfold, and I genuinely don’t know where the story is heading next, which makes it even more exciting.

This catch-up journey has been incredibly fun. I’ll be reading the volumes as they release now, and I’m looking forward to what comes next.

What a brilliant grand finale to this arc. The build-up with Vegapunk’s speech was done so well, and it kept me hooked the entire time. The moments involving Luffy and Bonney were especially emotional and added a lot of weight to the conclusion. Everything came together beautifully, and the ending felt very satisfying. This arc had a great balance of emotion, storytelling, and hype. I really enjoyed this read. It made me cheer and cry at the same time, which is always a sign of great writing.

This has to be one of the best arcs in One Piece for me.

This arc continues to deliver. Even as it moves towards wrapping up, it doesn’t slow down and keeps the momentum going. The pacing and writing are really strong. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop and ended up finishing it in one sitting, which has been the case for most of these volumes. There are some really satisfying moments here, especially seeing Luffy step in and take action. That punch was pure joy. Overall, this arc is turning out to be amazing, and I’m having a great time reading it.

This was incredibly well written. I didn’t expect the story to get this emotional, and it really caught me off guard. Kuma’s backstory was heartbreaking. Everything about it just builds up so well, and by the end, it hits really hard. I genuinely felt a lot while reading this. It made me emotional in a way that felt earned. Oda did it again. My volume is soaked and my heart is racing. This is peak writing.

This felt like a short but important detour from Egghead. It focuses more on what’s happening in the rest of the world, and there are some really big reveals and growing threats. I like how it doesn’t feel jarring at all. Everything flows naturally, and it feels like the story is expanding rather than shifting away. A lot of things have been set up here, and it definitely builds anticipation for what’s coming next.

This arc continues to feel very fresh. I like how different it is from Wano, especially with the futuristic setting and pacing. Seeing more of CP0 was interesting, and Luffy calling Lucci “pigeon guy” had me laughing out loud at 2 am. I’m pretty sure I woke up my neighbours 😭

Overall, a really enjoyable volume that feels like it’s building towards something big.

A perfect end to Wano and a really strong beginning for what’s coming next. It wraps things up nicely while also opening up a lot of new threads. I have always loved this in-between time between arcs. Getting updates from different parts of the world makes everything feel bigger and more connected. The energy of the new arc already feels very different from Wano, which is refreshing and exciting.

Overall, this felt like a great transition volume that does both jobs really well.

This one felt like an appetizer for what’s coming next. A lot of reveals and world-building, and it really builds hype for the future. I really liked Momo’s growth. Seeing him stand up and fight for Wano was great. He’s come a long way, and it feels earned. We also get some interesting reveals about Wano itself and hints at bigger things in the world, which made this volume very exciting to read. Overall, a strong follow-up that wraps things up nicely while setting up what’s next.

This is cinema. Nothing short of it. What a lovely reveal, and it was handled so well. Everything about it felt earned, and the way it was presented made it even more impactful. This has to be one of the most iconic fights in manga, in my opinion. I was hooked from start to finish and didn’t want to stop reading.

The artwork was amazing as always. Some of the panels in this volume are genuinely unforgettable.

This one had so many really strong moments. It feels like the arc is not just about the fights anymore, but also about the characters and what they’re going through. I loved getting more insight into Zoro. It added another layer to his character and made everything he’s doing in Wano feel even more meaningful. Sanji’s struggle with his family name was also done really well. It feels like he’s still fighting that part of himself, and it makes his character more interesting. Oda really understands how to write character dynamics. Even in the middle of a huge war, these moments still land. This arc continues to feel very easy and enjoyable to read, everything just flows really well.

Also, the fact that I finished this at 2:30 am and still want to keep reading says everything 😭

A solid volume that really sets up the final phase of the arc. It feels like everything is now moving towards the end, and the focus is getting tighter. Really liked the moments with Robin and Brook. We don’t get to see them together often, so it stood out a lot. Their dynamic was fun and felt different from the usual fights. Robin’s moment was definitely the highlight. That form was insanely cool and a bit terrifying as well. I can’t lie… I’d probably just stand there and accept my fate 😭

Overall, this felt like strong setup for what’s coming next, with some really memorable character moments.
