Just started reading for the first time a few weeks ago, currently on chapter 63 (Gin just gave his gas mask to Sanji during the Captain Krieg fight, I can't believe Gin is loving dead), Sanji is great and so is One Piece.

That's my post thank you for reading it.

I'd recommend finding an official version for the next several hundred chapters, if you're not already. The scan quality is mediocre and the translation is.. questionable.

The version I’m reading doesn’t seem particularly official, there’s been a handful of Japanese stuff left in with a very fansub-ish flavor - Clahador calling Kaya “Ojousama” for example. The scans I’m reading are colorized and I’d read the translations were accurate, but maybe not??

From what you've read so far, who's stronger: Zoro or Sanji?

Hmm, hard to say. Zoro fought Hawk-Eyes McGee or whatever his name was and held his own, sort of. Sanji on the other hand did knock out a bigass loving cow monster in like two kicks. Maybe I'd say Zoro is stronger, if only because he has a reputation so I assume he's more experienced with actual fighting.

Not sure how Luffy ties into all this, he seems to have infinite protagonist power. I'm sure he could stretch up and pull down the moon if he really wanted. Oh god that's going to happen, isn't it?

The actual strongest is Usopp. Every shot he fires is a sure-kill!

Holy poo poo Nami stabbed her goddamn hand? Okay I'm sorry I called you a bitch, you're fuckin hard-core.

Could he just stretch himself up far enough to breath, or does water totally disable his powers? (this is a hypothetical question please don't actually answer) Also I was expecting Arlong to hold onto Luffy's hands and swing him around, using the stone block he's stuck in as a flail.

The manta ray dude has tentacle hair? Sure why not. Also just swimming up and down real fast to make Sanji's organs explode seems like a surprisingly effective Fishman Karate™ combat technique. So does covering up Fishman gills, I guess.

gently caress yeah Sanji, dragon kick his rear end into the milky way. Maybe Sanji is stronger than Zoro, although Zoro is pretty injured so it's hard to call. I'll need to add this data to my spreadsheets for future calculations.

Also lol that Arlong called Nami a cat, and she's beating up Capt Nezumi. Also also what the gently caress is this snail telephone fax machine? At any rate, this definitely feels like the turning point where he's a "real" pirate, I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Sweet, mention of another devil fruit user! I've been waiting for another one to come along, I'm super curious about what their powers will be.

OH YEAH ITS THE FAT GIRL (I had to look her up because I forgot). Huh, didn't know the devil fruit changed your body beyond super powers, but it makes sense. I've been wondering why Luffy is so insanely strong, I figured it was just cus he's the protag.

OH MY GOD BUGGY IS BACK, SO THE LITTLE COMICS AT THE START OF EACH CHAPTER ARE CANON. I was loving following them, it's really cool that they tie into the actual story. Oh man Luffy's in the gallows, I imagine he must think this is the coolest poo poo because Gold Roger was in the same place. Y'know, when Luffy stretches, does his "mass" stay the same? Like, if he stretches his arm, does it thin out? I imagine he could just stretch his face in order to thin it out and slip out of the gallows. Wait, could he have done that when he was stuck in the rock during Arlong Park...?

Smoker fuckin' rules already. I hope the two cigars are different flavors, so when he smokes them he can pick his favorite pairs. I also like that he paid the little girl for a 5 scoop ice cream after his PANTS ATE HER PREVIOUS ONE.

A log pose, huh? Looks like... A compass. Aaaand it's broken. Ooh, Raftel, we got a goal now!

Did a fuckin otter riding a vulture just drop a bomb on them? Sure, OK.

Oh, it's winter now, with occasional spring. Oh my gosh I love Luffy's snow man, I kind of want it as an avatar. The man who fell from the sky, Mr. Snowman! Okay drat this storm poo poo escalated quickly, Grand Line is serious business.

Huh, the log pose needs a varying amount of time in order to register an island so they can leave. Very convenient for having various misadventures on each island! (normally I'd nitpick this poo poo, but in one piece it just feels so fun it doesnt matter). I haven't pointed it out yet, but I love how Zoro is always up for Luffy's dumb poo poo. Like any other manga would make the swordsman all stoic and stuffy, but Zoro seems to be always game to go along with Luffy's impulsive and adventurous spirit. I really like it!

I also really like the mayor of Whiskey Peak's hair. It's also nice to see such a friendly welcoming town in the grand line! I'm sure nothing bad will happen here at all!

So I've been real busy and haven't been reading this lately. Let's fix that! Starting back up with chapter 109, "Matter of Responsibility". When I last left off, the gang arrived at one of the first islands in the grand line, and had a wild party that was unsurprisingly a trap by the Baroque Works. Then Zoro came along and started loving everybody up. Now, to continue reading...

Oh this lady has hypnotic boobs. I was wondering what was up with her outfit. Still love that dude's shotgun sax, too. I hope it's never explained how it works.

And now two new peeps have arrived, I like how Miss Valentine looks like she's straight outta the 60s. Oh, and new we get some SECRET DRAMA OOH LALA I guess they were spies within spies. AND THIS DUDE HAS A BOOGER CANON. Oh hey, two more "ability users". Super excited to see their weird abilities. In fact, I hope devil fruit users become the norm, I love weird and wacky powers.

drat, Nami is real good at extorting and also wheeling and also dealing. The ability to make any part of your body explode is pretty fuckin rad. :torgue: And now Luffy is mad for what I'm sure is a pointless reason.

Okay yup, fairly pointless. Lmao at Luffy just loving clowning on explosion man off-screen. Mrs Valentine's ability is neat, but I suspect at this rate we won't see much of it. :v: I love Luffy and Zoro duking it out while ignoring these chumps.

Also dang, in the little side adventures at the start of each chapter, Coby and Helmeppo are gettin' ripped. Oh gently caress a bigass goddamn dolphin. KICK THE poo poo OUT OF IT SANJ- oh, or just run away. Oh boy, next island! I love that the gang just gets into as much stupid trouble as possible, they're just all so fun. DINOSAUR ISLAND YESSSSS. Oh and giant island too, I guess.

Holy poo poo these giants are great. They're all so jolly, they're like big Luffies!

Holiday Island, Baroque Works' lair? I agree with Mr 3, earl grey is the best black tea. HIS HAIR IS A GIANT NUMBER THREE. I like miss Goldenweek's design too. All the characters in One Piece are so memorable, but there are so many. It must be easy to forget them, but then so fun to reread and rember them all. Oh no the rum exploded, I bet it was Miss All Sunday, that bitch. Oh well, now I get to see Luffy fight a giant :toot:

Hey, Mr 5 is back, and the weight girl, Miss Valentine I think her name was? I'm only just now realizing that Mr 5 has 5s all over his coat. Oh no, Dorry's hurt from fighting Luffy, I hope he'll be okay :ohdear:

Time to keep blind reading! Chapter 122: "Being Dead is Useless" which is a good message imo.

I like the giant wax birthday cake / candle of death that Mr 3 made. That being said, I feel like if you can make as much steel wax as you want, why not just cover everyone up immediately instead of this light sprinkling to turn them into statues?? I guess Mr 3 cares that much about his art. Oh gently caress is Zoro really gunna cut his own feet off? Is there a Doc Doc Fruit user in the house? Oh Luffy showed up and he got only halfway through his legs, whew. Good on Luffy for making fun of Mr 3's hair.

I sincerely hope Usopp gets brave in this fight! Although, if he does, he loses some of his cowardly charm... Miss Goldenweek bustin out a picnic set, I like her. I hope she joins the crew. Hahaha I love how Luffy is so stoked to have his legs in wax. OH NOW I SEE WHY, SPINNING HAMMER ATTACK. Lmao "Luffy! You beat Mr 3! Now come save us!" "Nah"

In the middle of an exciting fight, suddenly the next chapter is "This tea is delicious" lmao. I'm not sure if Miss Golden week is a fruit eater or not, I kind of hope she isn't and her paintings are just so good that they magically work. Mr 5 has a flintlock revolver, is that possible? Probably, who cares. Oh gently caress LUFFY IS FUCKIN RIPPED.

Wait, Dalton's not a bull anymore? Did I miss something?? I'm pretty sure he was a bull... Oh, turns out he wasn't a bull, he was a Bison! Another fruit user! Fruit eater? Either way, it's cool! And now there's a loving avalanche.

And now there's a snow surfing fight with the lapins, hell yeah. Aww, Luffy saved the little lapin's parent, how sweet.

More cover stories, will we get to see Jango's bare face???? Anyways, the lapins are helping Luffy! Man, Luffy's been climbing a sheer wall for 3 hours, that's some serious poo poo. Gunna suck if he's climbing up the wrong one. Oh good, it's the right one, but then Luffy fuckin passes out cus of course he does. AND THE CLIFF IS FALL-oh, chopper(?) saved him.

It'll be funny if Sanji and Luffy are so dumb they think of him as a regular reindeer, thus making him feel accepted. Oh, I guess Luffy just thinks a talking reindeer monster is cool, that definitely is very Luffy.

Oops, Jango accidentally entered a dance contest, I hate it when that happens. I want a full manga of Chopper and Hiluluk just going on misadventures around town, "healing" people and getting into trouble.

I'm so emotional over Chopper's backstory, I don't have much to add. It's really good!! Chopper is very precious and much less of an rear end in a top hat than I thought he'd be. He went out and found the mushroom!

There's so much talk of these MD-20s, I wonder what they're like. Obviously they're doctors, but are they like, military doctors? I dunno... Oh... Oh no, the mushroom... It had a skull and crossbones next to it... :ohdear:

Oh, there are the MD-20s. I guess they're just pink military doctors. "A man only dies when he is forgotten." good words, Hiluluk. I really like him, which makes this story extra sad. Also makes me want adventures of Hiluluk and Chopper even more.

Holy poo poo the two page spread punch is SO GOOD

Startin back up with Chapter 146, "National Security"

Sanji's big grin HES A MONSTER about Luffy is great. Also, I wonder why Chopper can change his size. At first I assumed it was a devil fruit power, but his devil fruit made him like a human, and I don't think humans can change size like that... Wait, what would happen if a human ate the hito hito fruit? Would they become the most human of all humans? Lotta good Sanji lines in this chapter, especially the one about afro-bros. AND THEN HE LAUNCHED LUFFY LIKE A GODDAMN MISSILE HELL YEAH! Aww, poor wooly hippo.

Aww, Hiluluk inspired the MD 20s! OH gently caress WAPOLHOUSE IS AWESOME. Huh, they're calling it the Munch Munch Fruit now, when earlier it was called Baku Baku Fruit. Make up your mind, translators! (I do prefer munch munch fruit though) Oh, so Wapol is like a deranged kirby. CHESS MARIMO COMBINATION!

I dunno how Luffy goes from being so lighthearted and goofy to being so cool. You'd think that he would be hard to take seriously, but it just works so well.

Oh my god Luffy's sparkly SEVEN FORMS? panel is the best poo poo. Chopper's seven forms ARE pretty cool though.

Oh no, Wapol is in the castle. He's not gunna close the door, is he...? NO HES JUST GOING TO EAT HIMSELF. And now he's skinny, and now Luffy is gunna kick his fuckin' rear end.

Has tongue became, a cannon! And then the biggest loving gomu gomu bullet ever, goddamn. I agree, Luffy, JUST SHUT UP AND COME WITH US ALREADY!
