Its the colored version. I was reading the PowerManga translation but it kinda sucked. Readable but Spartan. I think what Im reading now is the official Viz. annoying that they spell him name Zolo but otherwise a much more robust translation. The cat pirate crews names actually make sense in this one. Just wrapped up that arc, by the way.

Ive absorbed some general knowledge about key moments in One Piece over time from pop culture and the tone of those is always really serious so its interesting how light hearted it feels so far.

Yeah, it's extremely silly and fun, but when it gets serious, it doesn't hold back.

People always give One Piece a strange look from the outside and fall in love with it once they get into it. Oda really knows how to create an excellent adventure with characters you can really root for.

Characters also never get old and I like Luffy more and more as I go on.

And I have the whole physical manga set on my shelf and yes, I really hate that they keep calling him Zolo but what can you do? Bleh

That's the one that got me.

If you think Arlong Park is good, Alabasta blows it out of the water. I'm on the arc just after that one.

Skypiea is a bit of a slog but the arc after hits the ground running (after the prologue) and doesn't really stop

I think it really depends on the devil fruit. I think Devil fruits that you have to 'activate' won't activate when they're fully submerged. Ones like Luffy are an exception because his fruit is passive.

his stupidity is at least 60% of his charm. Its his guts and passion that make up the rest. He has what most Shonen protags have but its his stupidity that just make him 10000% better because he's so entertaining.

Its no wonder that he's won every character popularity poll since the beginning.

Devil fruits still work, the user is just immobilised when submerged. Luffy is still rubber and stretchy, he just can't move so someone else has to pull him around to stretch him.

I really don't get the Skypeia hate tbh. I guess in retrospect in comparison to later arcs it's not all the crazy, but I really enjoyed it in the Anime at least. *MAJOR SPOILERS TC*. I think it gives a good sense of scale for the overall world given that he fights someone who claims to be and acts like a god only to later on realize how small scale Eneru/Enel is in the grand scheme. First introduction to Haki, some interesting fights, the start of the Merry's end, and some cool/funny moments (Ussop accidentally popping out right in front of Enel, apologizing, and shutting the door is such a small but weirdly hilarious standout moment to me, even as far in as I am now.)

IDK, I liked it. I'm almost done with Whole Cake rn, and as of now I'd probably rank the major arcs:
From Best to Worst IMO:
Impel Down/Marineford
Albasta
Dressrosa
Whole Cake
East Blue
Thriller Bark
Water 7/Enis Lobby
Skypeia
Zou
Fishman Island

Sure, Skypeia is technically in my bottom 3, but honestly the only arc I think is legit not good is Fishman Island. Fishman is a fucking slog, but every other arc is pretty damn solid IMO.

I think part of the problem with Skypeia is that its sandwiched between a really solid arc with Alasbasta and arguably the best pre time skip arc with Water 7/Enies Lobby. Skypeia is just underwhelming.

Whoa, never seen Water 7 so low on a arc tier list. Hope you're enjoying Whole Cake - it's probably my favorite post timeskip arc (though the current one's also pretty close).

I can understand that I suppose. Personally I liked all of the pre-time skip arcs a lot. I think I also like Skypeia because it was the first real introduction to the weird/fantastical side of One Piece. Sure we have the Devil Fruit powers and such, but Skypeia is the first time the setting itself goes fully fantastical, and I really appreciate that.

Water 7 had a lot of highs, but also a lot of meh moments. And frankly, the Villains were pretty lame in Water 7 IMO.

We got Sogeking, Frsnky, and Robins origin out of it tho, so I still really appreciate it.

Im loving Whole Cake, depending on how it concludes itll probably crack top 3 for me.
