Description

About the Author Eiichiro Oda began his manga career at the age of 17, when his one-shot cowboy manga Wanted! won second place in the coveted Tezuka manga awards. Oda went on to work as an assistant to some of the biggest manga artists in the industry, including Nobuhiro Watsuki, before winning the Hop Step Award for new artists. His pirate adventure One Piece , which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1997, quickly became one of the most popular manga in Japan.

Features & Highlights

  • Join Monkey D. Luffy and his swashbuckling crew in their search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece!
  • As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates.

Years, later, Luffy sets off in search of the “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world...Someone has given Dorry the Giant exploding ale and he's not happy! Assuming it was Luffy and crew, he launches an all-out attack and is soundly defeated by the rubbery power of the Gum-Gum Rocket!

Instinct

Another satisfying volume of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece. This volume includes the story of Luffy's crew facing off mostly against Mr. 3.

This isn't the best volume of One Piece and doesn't involve the entire cast. Sanji is only included in the last two sections and most of Luffy's crew have minor roles at best. The majority of the action centers around Luffy and Usopp confronting Mr. 3 upon finding out he was behind the exploding drink in the last volume.

Nevertheless, this storyline still has its strong points and the action is consistent with previous entries. If you enjoyed the previous volumes of this series you'll enjoy this one as well.

Beware the man with the wax

Volume 14 continues the Little Garden story arc. The giants are down, and Zoro, Vivi, and Nami have been captured by Mr. 3. It's up to Luffy to save them. But things are never so easy.

I agree with the other review in that most of Luffy's crew don't do much in this volume. But for me, one of the highlights of Little Garden is that it creates a strong sense of danger and suspense that the series doesn't often generate. Usually, the bad guys are little more than annoying obstacles to whatever Luffy's main goal is. Here the threat feels real, and with half the crew about to be suffocated in wax, you know time is running out. Mr. 3 is one of the single most effective enemies in the series.

We also get great character development. Usopp again shows a bit of cleverness that makes his battles so entertaining. And the volume's title "Instinct" refers to one of the best Luffy moments in the series.

A great volume. So why did 4Kids skip it?

I don't like OP but my friend does

I got this as a Christmas gift for my friend and he said that he really enjoyed it. I don't like One Piece, so I can't tell you what this volume is about.
