One Piece 598: Page by Page Reactions

OK, going to read the new chapter. Waited until I was home from work. New Sufjan album on. This is "as good as it gets".

Cover:

OK, so Luffy has a scar on his chest now? Oda sure loves those. Guess it's pretty cool, will always be a reminder of um, whatever it was that gave him that. He looks pretty badass, as does Rayleigh.

Remember in the cover page story arcs where they'd have one of the covers be "5 seconds before whatever?" You could have one of me right now saying uh "5 seconds before looking at the first page" and it would, I dunno, have my heart beating comically out of my chest.

Page One:

Psyche, this is the ad for Mangastream and Binktopia. MUCH LOVE TO THOSE GUYS BY THE WAY. This ad stopped my heart for a second, though.

Page One:
Nice colouring, nice shot of the hat, nice narration. Closeup of scar. Nice shot of the island.

Page Two:
More nice colour. Hey, Margarite's there! I'm actually a fan of having her join the crew. Actually, I was a fan of that idea, but now I don't want any more additions. It would just trivialize the whole reunion thing too much. Luffy making friends with the animals is funny, his response to Hancock is also funny, such bantering is pretty reassuring. Shot of him putting on the hat at last is pretty good. I'm all hyped up. TIME TO TURN THE PAGE AHHH!

Page Three
WOAH.
HOLD ON HERE.

ZORO LOOKS MORE BADASS if such a thing was possible, scars across the eye don't make a whole lot of sense but OH WELL. SLIGHTLY LONGER HAIR AS WELL.

Chopper looks pretty much the same, I think.

I like Luffy in that pose, it's very similar to one of the first cover spreads. Nice little homage there I guess.

Robin looks roughly the same I think.

Nami is in ridiculous fanservice mode but OH WOW LONG HAIR, I actually sort of predicted that but I'm glad it happened.

Franky is goddamn terrifying. He has a 37 on him now, so it looks like he upgraded to a new Battle Franky? HE'S HUGE. AAAAAAAAAH SO COOL.

BROOK'S NEW HAT IS REALLY COOL.

SANJI'S OTHER EYE. HOLY CRAP. ALSO COOL BEARD THING.

USOPP LOOKS ROUGHLY THE SAME but at this point I AM JUST TOO EXCITED TO UM NOT BE EXCITED ABOUT THINGS THAT REALLY AREN'T EXCITING WELL UM HE ISN'T FAT AT LEAST AJUIEDHuuwkhgfregtiurhtj

OK back to Sabaody after two years, both real time and in the series. WOW. They're recruiting? Guess that flies in the face of what I said earlier. HMM. wait so EVERYONE IS ALREADY REUNITED ON THE ISLAND? i figured there'd be a few chapters of them getting crew'd up, at least.

Page Four

HIS GUITAR IS A FISH AND HIS CLOTHES ARE BADASS AND BROOK IS A SUPER STAR OH MY GOODNESS. i like how his captors became his managers. Brook makes no sense THAT'S HOW I LIKE HIM. LET'S GO WHAT'S HE GONNA TELL THEM PROLLY "I'M GOING BACK TO MY CREW"

Page Five

THE SOUND EFFECTS ARE WRITTEN IN BONES AGAIN AND I STILL LOVE IT. "SABAODREAM" AGHUH COOL NAME!!!

LOOK AT HOW MUCH DETAIL HE PUT INTO THAT CROWD, HOLY COW. AHHHHHHHHHHHH

girl weeping for nakama.

Page Six
SANJI LOOKS LIKE A BADASS.

THEN HE ACTS SILLY.

I LIKE SANJI BECAUSE OF THIS.

haha he still wants a woman, that's reassuring, flips off some okama, that's reassuring, all very funny stuff MAN I CAN'T GET OVER HOW HE SWITCHED EYES.

Page 7
the sail has the ivakanov's tattoo on it, that's neat. the okama are funnnyyyy so is sanji.

wow so um nami's gonna wear a bikini all the time now? uh alright there oda AREN'T YOU A MARRIED MAN?

marine's moving the headquarters makes sense, I WONDER WHO THE NEW FLEET ADMIRAL IS??? AOKIJI?? BUT KONG WAS SORTA MAD AT SENGOKU MAYBE SO MAYBE IT'S AKAINU, THAT WOULD MAKE more sense as akainu actually GETS SHIT DONE y'know? so does aokiji though too so um hmm.

HAHA 55 million that's PALTRY, it's prolly that loser bellamy again.

Page Eight

HAHA BRILLIANT, BRILLLLLLIANT i say. so they aren't recruiting it's THESE CLOWNS. I LIKE THE FAKE SOGEKING THE BEST.

GOOD SET UP. looks like THE CREW WILL KICK ALL THEIR PUNK ASSES AS A WARMUP, i look forward to this. maybe the two guys with big bounties'll be interestingish. INTERESTING WHAT LUFFY'S REPUTATION IS cause honestly it seems like the whole enies lobby thing was more notable, but um whatever, maybe not.

Page nine
