It has been a while since i last one piece. the manga start to come out irregularly few months, so i turned to scanlation but the translation was horrible, the enjoyment wasn't the same.


One of the most influential german magazine ( Der zeit or Der spiegel i forgot which one) in oe of its article “ who killed the great american romance “ stated that because of emancipation, woman can have succesful career as a result, now in Hollywood romantic movies the woman is depicted as more succesful and smarter than the man,. People are ok with this and it’s acceptable
Oda was able to succesfully perceived this, as a resort when Usually in manga girls are only sweetener , weak , and dependent creature who sooner or later will fall in love with the main characters. Nami and robin are strong , smart and can’t hold their ground. Yes there are lot of fan services from these two, but sexy girls have rights to flaunt their body.
Oda also has a way to get fresh ideas for the story. You know Usop pirates gallery right? Long before the first appearence of brooke. A fan submitted a drawing of one piece crew in skeletal form, ( Sorry i forgot in wich volume the drawing appeared. Another drawing showed the crew in women dresses.. He has plenty of inspiration.
Personally , to me OP should have ended at volume 55. Oda had intended to end OP a long time ago. Why, because personally i dislike the current artwork of nami and robin , the fisherman island saga also dissapointed me. The crew used to get what they want without other people’s help, they can survive without being burden. But a powerful figure in OP world sacrificed himself for the crew . It felt so wrong
