One Piece Volumes 21-30 by Eiichiro Oda, 2048 pages
In this ten volume block we see the conclusion of the
Baroque Works story line along with the much expected fight between Sir
Crocodile and Luffy. We also see the start of a new storyline called Skypiea.
Skypiea is a mythical island in the clouds that is only rumored to exist. That
of course is plenty for Luffy who makes it his goal to find it.
Throughout this group of manga I see a growing trend. Where
before most, if not all of the fighting was left to Luffy, Zolo and Sanji, now
we are seeing everyone pull their own weight. This is most noticeable in
Baroque Works. Here each character is basically matched with a Baroque Works
agent and must fight mostly on their own. Though this we get to see the
characters develop and we see their strengths and weaknesses.
As I near the current halfway mark of this manga series it
is nice to see that it still continues to be fresh and unique. There are times
where you are not sure the heroes of the story are going to triumph or not. The
fights that Luffy is getting into are certainly increasing in difficulty,
especially vs Sir Crocodile.
I look forward to continuing this series and while I want to
see how it ends, hope there are many more books to come.
