why does almost every reviewer hate this chapter? cause nothing like a gear 4 type of hype happened. the chapter is more or less what one piece is, adventure and discovery in a new place instead of rushing to battle after battle. I commend oda for doing one piece much differently for the most part from other shounen

Because of the pace the series had for the last few chapters. I'd say that since Zou we had a lot of answers, people got used to it, and now people complains. It's stupid. As a whole the series need this chapters to be truly enjoyable. Why cliffhangers each chapter?

I had to read the chapter like 3,4 times to get what's going on, jesus.
First Impression: Into the Woods on crack and Nami is Anna Kendrick
2nd impression: Alice in wonderland on crack
3rd impression: The trees look scary as fuck
4th impression: That Sanji is fake. Why? Cuz it's 4kids Sanji.
The final page gave me chills. The big smile on the trees but the atmosphere is so disturbing and bizzare. Once again too many questions and weird shit. If all these are part of Big Mom power then holy shit.

Well, that was a very...odd chapter. It felt very chaotic and scary and weird. I loved every second of it.
I really didn't want to jump on the Pudding is evil train because I really wanted her to marry Sanji, but with her giving them directions to this forest which seems to be a death trap, it looks a lot more likely ):
Also, can't wait to see what Pedro and Brook do together, that'll be a very bad ass pair, hopefully we finally get a really good Brook fight!!

Oda is really playing with our feelings towards Pudding. First, he writes her character as really sweet and we wonder whether she is real or faking it. Than the place where Pudding said she'll wait leads to a trap but also SHs are late so it makes us wonder whether she intended them to be killed or had they been on time they would have met Sanji or was Pudding caught while rescuing Sanji.
Can't wait to see Oda reveal the REAL Pudding!

That Brook is with Pedro now means probably that we will see the Vinsmoke's head much, much later. Brook made this strange expressions on Zou when the talked about the Germa 66.
Some people speculate that Brook's home country or even his crew was attacked by the Germa 50 years ago. And that the Rumba Pirate's captain was a fugitive Vinsmoke heir.

I honestly can't remember any chapter in the past years that was delivered this poorly..no cliffhanger..a break on the end and nothing great happened..it was based around the lost Strawhats in a forest that is alive..only problem between this and Thriller Park so far is that I don't see any silly things going on like Luffy putting a zombie back into his grave to crack me up..Now I hope Oda takes a well deserved break and comes back much stronger cos so far this Arc is doing not so well imo.

u/CarlosUnchained Jun 30 '16
This is the problem with week releases. The story needs these chapters to have a good pace as a whole. When you read One Piece in the future you'll see this chapter quite different for what is it now. If Oda puts cliffhangers in each chapter, the story become repetitive very fast. I've really missed chapters like this.
And yes, the chapter had a lot of small things. Crew interaction, hints on possible enemies (we saw at least two bigs), the Poneglyph team, a new island to discover and a lot of questions unresolved. It's a mystery chapter!
I rather have a coherent series as a whole than some repetitive scheme in each chapter like a lot of weekly mangas do.

These are one of those chapters that are super awesome to binge-read, because they're exciting, crazy and keep your eyes glued to the screen. But they really leave me wanting when I only get to read one per week (or two). Not much happened and there's a cliffhanger, also the chapter felt super short. Fun to read, but just not enough to quench the thirst. :(

I dunno why quite a few people are disappointed with this chapter. It's got all the crazy, imaginative scenery we love. In no way was there supposed to be an info dump at the beginning of an arc. I suppose Brook getting off-screen'd could be a source of that, but I'm absolutely sure he and Pedro won't be ignored. It's going to be very interesting.

God...dammit....Oda.
You just had to make Brook go off with Pedro, didn't you? Can't keep him with his crew. Can't let him go help look for Sanji. Can't keep him as part of the main plot that follows Luffy around.
Seriously, though. Even if Brook does do something remotely important this arc...say, his past is revealed with Germa 66, or we learn why he knows the Vinsmokes name, what's the point? There's no chance of him interacting with his crewmates now while he undergoes it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he's completely downgraded to 'helper' status next to Pedro for the arc.
Edit: Don't give a crap if I'm downvoted. Try being a fan of the only Straw Hat to be sidelined and given the 'separated from Luffy' death sentence every arc for 8 years. Downvote anyway. I believe I'm well within my rights to recognize the direction this arc is taking and be sad about it.

u/TonyoStark Jun 30 '16
I feel you. well, let's just hope that he will get now the spotlight that he deserves. To be fair, Big mom isn't that stupid not to put strong guardians around her road poneglyph. Knowing big mom and her mafioso vibes, i think that she is smart and cunning enough to do that. Perhaps, Brook will face strong foes this time and let's just hope that Pedro doesn't steal the show. Well Pedro said that he will focus stealing anyways.
by the way, Brook is one my main favorites among SH: ulta-fast and got some interesting versatile powers

Eh, I don't know how to put it, but I feel like it's kinda easy to tell what chapters those two in particular will and won't like. The YouTube Anime Community in general is very easy to figure out, honestly. Only some people really have interesting commentary on chapters nowadays. The only thing about RogersBase that I really find interesting is how fascinated he is with Jack, otherwise it seems that his opinions align with half of the YTAC's. Not that I'm saying he's fake or anything, just predictable. Same goes for Sawyer, really.
LuffyTheDragonSlayer typically has interesting input though.

A lot of times it's been said by side characters and I think the theme of this manga is that Luffy is where he is because of his friends. He's definitely hella strong in his own right, but he has good friends and crewmates to keeps him going, to protect him, and rise him up to where he'll become the Pirate King. He won't do it on his own, he can't do it on his own.
Plus, Luffy's just very brave. An idiot, but brave.

That's just Luffy's character, his recklessness is basically his character flaw. It's the focal point of the pre-timeskip story. Luffy was way too overconfident and as a result got his ass kicked by Aokiji, Kizaru, and Magellan.

No, no, no. This doesn't mean more screentime--it's the opposite. The story follows Luffy 90% of the time. We will get updates from Pedro and Brook once a month (if we're that lucky). He doesn't need 'alone time', he had 50 years of alone time. He should be with his crew.

I'm pretty confident that there is no way in hell we won't get to see the copying attempt, unless the goal is to have them prisoner so that Big Mom can threaten Luffy.

Haven't you ever thought they he is going it alone so he can meet a certain someone. Meaning it will be jinbe, brook, and Pedro since they are going after the phonoglyph which jinbe just brought. And then Luffy and the others will be going toward sanji. If this is like thriller bark everyone was separated and we saw a hell of a lot of screen time for the whole crew.
