One Piece [ 823 ] Review
A World Abuzz
I immensely enjoy One Piece chapters that show what's going on all over the One Piece world. That's one of those things that make One Piece so good as a manga. It really wins out in worldbuilding by getting old supporting characters out of the way while still making them relevant to the plot. This chapter goes around showing a lot of characters. We get a good chunk showing Vivi, Cobra and the rest of the Alabasta supporting characters being escorted by the marines under Hina to the Reverie, and we get some funny moments where everyone has to keep remembering that, hey, Vivi being a pirate temporarily is not cool with the marines. Cobra talks a bit about how he needs to attend the reverie to find out the truth about the poneglyphs.
We get King Stelly, otherwise known as Sabo's asshat brother, and while we don't see his face he's still a smarmy elitist twat. Apparently the Kano Country's war is over, and since Sai and Chinjao aren't back yet they won't attend the reverie. We get to see other kingdoms. Wapol, Dalton, Kureha, Viola, Rebecca, Mansherry, King Elizabello (whose castle's roof is a flexing man and that is hilarious), Shirahoshi... we also get a montage of other kings who we have never seen before, but it's cool seeing how many allies the Straw Hats have amongst the kingdoms. Who knows, maybe we'll have a big civil war? We also see the positive effect that the Straw Hats' liberation efforts have done to Drum Kingdom, Dressrosa and Alabasta, as well as allowing the Fishman Islanders to join the reverie for the first time.
Carrot stows away on the Thousand Sunny and just acts cute and she's just so out of touch with actually how big the world is. Her antics are funny, I guess, though it's something I could do without. Then a News Coo drops in a newspaper saying that the Revolutionary HQ, Baltigo, is in ruins.
