Silly events along the way, like Luffy being hynotized and falling asleep under the stempost of the Black Cat right as he's swinging it around like a huge club, or Nami stepping on his head to wake him up, etc.

Eichiro Oda pushes our favorite heroes and villains into interesting positions and really nails the dilemma that results from these positions. Alternatively, if you were the type to just start slashing up because of the phase of the moon, you'd never have gotten such a reputation as a cunning mastermind! You may block cookies via standard web-browser settings, but this site may not function correctly without cookies.But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! He is not only a character for comedic relief, he also has core values he would stand up for even if he’s scared shitless and he protects his village even tho no one believes him anymore. Yet again, Oda delivers another fantastic villain who can be quirky like Buggy and dastardly like Kuro. All Luffy has on his side are his sword-wielding first mate, Zolo; his thieving navigator, Nami; Usopp, a local kid with a knack for telling lies; and his own bizarre rubber-limbed powers. Jango attempts to hypnotize the Black Cat crew members to make them stronger, but accidentally hypnotizes Luffy as well who overpowers them, forcing Jango to hypnotize Luffy to sleep.

Ahhh pucha estoy en conflicto Usopp me cae mal pero aquí todavía no xd si igual es bonita su historia y lo que hace por Kaya a pesar de ser un mentiroso. No, really, why would he suddenly turn on his fellow butler and attack with lethal intent, with no provocation? This was impossible to put down, a real page turner, and what strikes me the most is how the story makes you feel for all characters, even really minor side-characters.

I must admit, my least favorite sections of One Piece are in the beginning stages when Oda was still finding his legs. Captain Kuro is a particular nasty piece of work, with the strange ability to sneak past opponents unseen. Kaya arrives and tries to negotiate, but Kuro refuses to listen, and tries to attack Usopp, only to be hit by Luffy. Also, although it initially starts out as a wacky story for kids, this manga has an unexpected grit to it.
