One Piece

"One Piece" is a manga, a manga with "precious qualities in the long river of human history" as its core. It "puts" the real world into the comics, and his depth is the human hymn that can be traced back and forth. Some people say that Oda used too much force, fell into an epic complex, and became more and more confused. And I want to say that Oda, a genius, has done his best to portray every splendor of human civilization in detail. For his dreams and promises, Luffy did not hesitate to sacrifice his life. At the same time, he has a group of partners who are willing to die for him. He also loves and appreciates his partners. His duel must be completed by himself, and what he lost must be taken by himself. Back. Isn't Luffy's traits exactly the same as Z? Z seemed to see his own shadow on Luffy, and Luffy didn't hesitate about his dream as he kept shouting. Perhaps it was the appearance of Luffy that made Z once again regain his original will. Z represents the heroic dream when he was a child. When the madness has disappeared with the fragmentation of the lens, Z has once again returned to his youth. era.

I saw the latest words from the first chapter. As my experience increased, I discovered many things that I hadn't noticed before. The exploitation of the people by the world government, the injustice of the Draco system, and the racial discrimination against the murlocs, the navy prides itself on Justice, but actually a puppet of the Tianlong people. Those who yearn for freedom and equality have been put on the hats of villains by the Tianlong people, and were crusted by the so-called justice puppet navy. The tragedy that happened on the island like Robin's hometown must have happened countless times in 800 years. I thought about it again, why would people rush to be the first pirate for Roger's words? The people are exploited by the Tianlong people and the people don't have a livelihood, so instead of living a miserable life without food, it's better to be a pirate and look for treasures that I don't know where or whether it's really there, and start the era of great voyages. .Roger's treasure is only a superficial reason. The root cause is the endless exploitation of the people by the corrupt dc government. More and more pirates have led to the need for more navy, but the wool is on the sheep, and the funds for the bandits must be exploited from the people. As a result, the people are getting poorer and poorer. More and more people become pirates and fall into trouble. The infinite loop, the emergence of Dragon and Luffy is a flashpoint, which will bring an end to this failed society. The connotation expressed by One Piece is profound, human nature, racial discrimination, war, revolution, slavery, dc, Denon, social injustice. Use a bad slogan to express: Be careful.

It's said to be the greatest manga, all the elements you love in a series is all in the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece, left by a legendary pirate mangaka named Eiichiro Oda. Ever since 1997, the new era of manga began, competing to take the number one spot of Shonen Jump, so far, none has yet to step a foot in it's path.

Once I did, I asked myself why didn't I pick the series up earlier. I truly feel that this is the best Shonen series ever made if we were to review it objectively.

Anyway, to the actual review:

One Piece initially feels very constantly slow-medium paced which feels just right because it's mostly an adventure manga, you NEED that many chapters to finish a story and write a main character's journey. Also, Oda does an awesome job of offering the massive world which a lot of series doesnt have that feel. The external environment has more development than character wise which also makes OP so much different from other shonens out there. One huge advantage One Piece has over every mangas out there is that the crew simply expands and expands as they travel to new unexplored lands and beyond the endless expanding universe. It really has an element of adventure, excitement and romance(to adventure) to it. It is very straightforward to see where arcs begin and end, because they go from island to island, yet it's completely unexpected. Wheras in something like Naruto, you don't get the sense of that also, also the main character(Luffy) wants to explore the WHOLE WORLD, not just a city or a town and it is needed because adventure is the biggest theme. One Piece is an adventure manga, that being said, something simple as exploring new place after places but they reach a segment and events change, flipped around and find something completely unexpected. Oda does a great job of keeping the audience interested. As we all know that the Strawhats will visit next island, like someone living their everyday life, adding age one after another. That is the basic gist that we will only know. It's completely unpredictable. Obviously you know what you want to do with your life and such but you wouldn't know every events leading up to that. It's simply a broad general idea of it.

Story-wise, it's always filled with surprises. You can never predict what Oda has in store for you. This author/artist/pirate/god himself manages to incorporates various themes into some of the places in One Piece with preferences we are familiar with. For example, one of the city reminds you of Venice, Italy. Another reminds you of an Ancient civilization such as Mayans and Aztecs. There are some very powerful moments in One Piece that WILL break your heart. Even the humor is great, better than some of the American Cartoons itself which emphasizes on comedy. So far, One Piece has never disappointed me. I'm glad I gave this series a chance.

Characters are top-notch. No characters have been side-lined and left in the grave to rot like many other typical Shonen series does. There are too many lovable characters to talk about here but in every series, the main character is the most important so here we go!
Monkey D. Luffy, a young man destined for great things. He never asked to not have a mother, he never asked to be born into a world which forces him to protect others from evil and corruption, and he never asked for any of his loved ones to be hurt. Luffy is humorous, innocent, strong-willed, brave, and most of all, life-loving. His persona rubs off on others, his ability to create joy and peace is astounding. His character's even developed so far as to make his readers weep alongside when he's emotionally broken. They are confused, rendered helpless when he feels helpless. When Kuma separated Luffy's crew, no reactions would be exaggerated. Luffy lost everything he loved, and it happened right in front of him. Luffy is a character that does not treats his nakamas as if they are utterly pathetic and helpless by saying he will protect them, no he is not... He is a man that leads by actions. This is the man that encourages his friends to get stronger for themselves and to protect their captain. Not just friends inspires, he inspires enemies to get stronger as well... That is because Luffy cannot go on a boring adventure become the Pirate King.

The art isn't really something to bash about. It's very unique compared to most generic well-drawn anime that is can be topped by even better detailed art. The art is simply perfect for a series like One Piece, I wouldn't have it drawn any other way. One Piece lacks bi-shonen characters and rather opts for the wild and crazy character designs, the uniqueness and originality is top notch. Me personally, the wackier the better and having every characters look like they hopped out of Final Fantasy. The background very important in any manga and people usually overlooks this, they would rather read a series that is plagued with white backgrounds in panels over generically drawn characters. Oda's world is massive, colorful and very imaginative. Sometimes I think he goes way over-the-top but it really suits the nature of the series.

One Piece is an astounding series. It has well developed characters with personalities all their own, fantasmic action and adventure portrayed in a believable format, and a sense of off the wall humor which leaves the masses laughing and gasping for air.

However, along with these beautifully defined characteristics, it does something which other mangas, and most comics in general, fail to do. It captures real human emotion.

The adventures the characters partake in and the personal struggles they go through are ones which any person can relate to.

While we may not stretch like rubber, fight with swords, or sprout extra appendages- we all have lost a loved one, been hurt by someone we care about, or have done something with good intentions which turned out bad.

We've all laughed, we've all cried, we've all felt emotions.

We follow the emotions with the characters best during the flashbacks, where we encounter their past experiences.

How Luffy became rubber and got his hat, how Zoro made a promise and became a 3 swordsman, how Nami came to hate pirates and love money, how Usopp became a lying orphan, how Sanji almost starved and became a chef, how Chopper lost his 'father' and became a doctor, how Robin lost everything and became a fugitive, how Franky became a shipwright and lost his mentor, how Brook 'lost' a friend and died. Every person can relate to one of these stories, some even relate to more than one.

Not on a basis of what happened to the characters, for example hardly anyone is a shipwright or a swordsman, and no one who is reading this is dead (unless you're a ghost or something)

It's on a basis of what the characters felt. The pain of loss. The hardships of life.

People who've lost a parent cried with Nami, Usopp, and Robin. People who lost a friend sobbed with Zoro and Brook. People who've starved ached with Sanji. People who've lost or hurt a loved one agonized with Luffy, Chopper, and Franky.

And yet... they keep on smiling.

There is a quote from the series, it's made by Nami's 'mother', Bellemere.

"Always remember the strength to continue laughing."

That is another thing the series does which no other can do. It gives hope.

Some of the quotes I've read/heard from this series have given me goosebumps from the power of the words they've contained.

"Always remember the strength to continue laughing." - Bellemere

"No one is born into this world to be alone!" - Jaguar D. Saul

"When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It's when...they are forgotten."

These quotes... are ones to live by.

Whether he knew it or not when he created this series. He created something amazing, that no other could do. He created real emotions. And he created hope.
