You should pick up Toriko. At the very least its better to Bleach. But yea, with how often Oda takes breaks manga days are going to be pretty sad going forward.

Oh yeah, I forgot Toriko.

Though I usually wait for MS scanlations before reading it.

(just noticed this week's is up, feel a little better now)

 

Did Oda fall ill again?

Not sure how I felt about the Baby 5 bits though. On one hand, that backstory O_0, on the other, it still felt weird. I don't know, I want to love it, but something is holding me back.

 

I wish we'd gotten more out of more of the executives. Like, G seemed cool, but he didn't leave a big impression. He seemed cool though and I get why Oda is moving at the pace he is.

 

The Dons however came off as really awesome in this chapter though. They were the center piece and they delivered.

Wow, didn't expect Law to be #2. Definitely high up there, but wow.

I'm sad Jinbe's pretty low, but otherwise pretty satisfied with the results. Glad the monster trio's still in the top 5 and that Usopp has a respectable place.

 

The chapter was pretty entertaining for one that mainly focused on side characters.

 

Just checking, is there a new chapter this week, or are we done until the new year?

Break down of chapters for the next few weeks.

Nothing this week.

Chapter next week, likely out on the 1st.

No Jump the week after

Jump returns to normal weekly run. Should be out on the 15th.

 

This means that the actual jump issue release dates are 22nd, 5th, and 19th. After that next Jump break won't happen until the end of April for jump itself. One Piece is likely to have several breaks in between now and then though, but between Oda's health and how much work it looks like a chapter takes to get done I get why.

Well, we were told that he was part Fighting Fish a few chapters back. It is the eyes that do it really. 

 

Anyway, hope that isn't the end of him. Feel like the bad guys are going down to easily. I guess he took someone else down with him so its not like the good guys aren't without loses. For the most part, the loses have been 1 for 1 trades.

The anime did not disappoint:

Definitely not. I was waiting for that moment for ages.

Can't wait for them to do it the 2nd time.

 

Also funny side thing, I saw some friends for NYE who are behind on OP, near the start of timeskip. They found out that Law's a D, but somehow were not spoiled about Sabo coming back.

I just found that amazing since I felt that was as blown-up as Tobi's identity being revealed in Naruto. 

(also no, i didn't tell)

So, I've seen a lot of people complaining about the length of this arc and the flashbacks and ended up writing a thing. I liked it, so am going to post here because I like reading myself rant

 

The fact that Oda has been sick during this arc is more so the problem then anything else. As a point of reference, 2 years ago was chapter 695. We should have had 96 chapters since then (52-4 WSJ break x2). That means, had Oda put out a chapter per week we'd be on chapter 791. We lost almost FIVE months because of his health problem. Even if Oda had been given a few breaks during the past 2 years, where the story would have been vs. where we are now would still have months between them.

 
I do find it funny that people are complaining about the flashbacks though. The main two (Dressrosa and Law's) serve to make you care about this island and the people on it. They both build Donflamingo as a villain and what a twisted person he is. It fleshes out Law's character and we learn what drives him. The flashbacks are REALLY important to the story and it would be weaker without them. You want to complain about the tontatta or Usopp being a coward, fine. But length caused in part from Oda's health not being 100% and the flashbacks are NOT things you should take issue with.
