Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.

As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

En este tomo llegamos a rainbase al casino de Crocodile, está la marina y nuestros protas. El plan para la confrontación de los rebeldes y los soldados de alubarna ya dió empiezo.
Un falso rey, un ataque a un pueblo, un barco lleno de armas, entre otras cosas. Ahora ya se dirigen a atacar y en el palacio el rey no está.
Por otra parte los mugiwaras caen casi deliberadamente en la trampa de Crocodile 😅 pero después de un par de cositas llega Mr Prince al rescate xd
Ahora Luffy vs Crocodile mientras los demás siguen su camino a la capital

Pretty standard edition of One Piece with plenty of action, silly escapades and some bananators. I think I've left this a little too long between volumes because I did forget who a couple of the characters were outside of the Straw Hats, which left me a bit confused. My own fault, I'll try not to wait so long for the next volume.

A lot of setup here, which I'm fine with. It certainly isn't boring.

More of a build-up to the grand finale as a war is about to take place if the crew doesn't stop with the help of the princess and a battle between Crocodile and Luffy finally begins as they both have all the reasons needed to let it rip at each other.

One Piece, Vol. 19 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (167–176) of the on-going manga series.

This tankōbon continues the Arabasta Arc. Karoo brings news of Crocodile's treachery to the king, who decides to attack Rainbase and sends Pell – the country's strongest soldier, to scout ahead. Smoker awaits the Straw Hats in Rainbase and chases several of them into Crocodile's casino, where they fall through a trapdoor into a cage. After defeating Pell, Crocodile's partner Miss All-Sunday captures Nefeltari Vivi and brings her to the casino and Baroque Works' final plan is set in motion.

The king is abducted, and the rebellion supplied with weapons. Mr. 2, impersonating the king, admits stealing the country's rain. In response, the rebels attack the capital. Crocodile leaves the cage surrounded by his oversized crocodiles, while the room floods with water. Tony Tony Chopper lures Crocodile away from the casino, while Sanji enters it and fights the crocodiles. One of them spits out Mr. 3, and Sanji forces him to open the cage by creating a key.

Smoker, aware of Crocodile's plan, calls for reinforcements while the Straw Hats head for Alubarna. Monkey D. Luffy, however, stays behind to take on the warlord.

This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. The narrative continues the Arabasta Arc as the Straw Hats are headed for the fabled Rainbase – the town of dreams. There they accidentally attract the unwanted attention of the Baroque Works security and gets trapped by Ms. All Sunday as she invites the crew to the casino's VIP room.

All in all, One Piece, Vol. 19 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

This continues to be my favorite arc so far! Things are really escalating in Alabasta and the Baroque Works crew led by the ferocious Mr. Crocodile are the worst villains the Straw Hat gang has faced yet! I love the character designs and also the environments. They’re so whimsical and creative and I can’t wait to see what other things will come in the future!

Look. I know I'm taking out some of my general anger at manga out on this volume. We'll all survive though, I'm sure.

Rant 1) Every single person in this series has a devil fruit. Do they sell these on the corner?

Rant 2) This woman just defeated the country's strongest warrior, who also had a devil fruit, in a single page. But she's going to be defeated later, certainly. Which means our heroes are even stronger.... so why the crap do they not end battles with normal foes in a panel? Why do they ever run from the navy? Argh!!!

Rant 3) Oh yeah, they have someone who can take other people's forms. "Seems almost too easy for the grand finale." is a direct quote. Seems boring is what it seems. You just destroyed all trust this city will ever have when they meet anyone, especially if they find out the truth about the shape-changer. Weak plot is weak. Unless... unless they actually raze this country and everyone of import dies. Then it won't be weak. It'll be amazing and tragic. But that isn't going to happen.

-----------
Ok, rants over. :D Sort of...

The last third of this, once Sanji shows up, is actually really good. The trouble with the first two-thirds is that the bad guys' plan was bought into 100%. There's going to be death. And even if the truth is revealed, some won't believe it. Some won't care. And everyone, due to the nature of the deception, will lose all trust in even what their eyes tell them. That's devastating. This country is screwed for decades regardless of how this turns out.

And actually... that's fine. That's some Song of Ice and Fire level crazy. But that's not what is going to happen. Somehow things will be mostly ok. Which is garbage, because no it won't. Not with what has happened so far. It can't. It just can't.

But it will. Because manga. So it gets 2 stars.

But for real, the last third with Sanji is really good. :D

This volume is quite intense, even though it took me longer to finish this because of work and Mara Dyer, haha! This volume continues with the journey of Vivi and the crew on finding Crocodile, one of the royal shichibukai (which means pirates who are recognized by the world government) and also the boss of the Baroque Works. He is just pure evilness, cunning and cruel. They met Smoker again and then the revolution starts according to Crocodile's plan, except the assasination of the Mugiwara crew. This scheme failed because of Mr Prince, who is also our cool Sanji... I loved Sanji a lot, he's very expressive, a gentleman, and an awesome cook! His fighting style and skills are not that bad and kinda cool too! This arc just reminded me how cool he used to be, of course he is still cool, but he's too perverted for my taste right now, so, I'm a bit disappointed with the potrayal of Sanji 2 years later.
Vivi is a very great princess and Cobra, her father is one of the best kings that I've encountered in the world of One Piece. A king who thought of the country a lot more than himself, and that's why his daughter is also an awesome princess who loves the country so much. Kouza, Vivi's childhood friend has been introduced as the head of the rebel. He's hot-headed, brave and most of all, his love towards his country that make him a rebel or rather a revolutionist. Revolutions are inevitable, I guess...
Pell, another favourite character of mine appeared in this volume for a short while... Wohooo!!
So many things happen in one volume, entertaining and enthralling! 4.5 stars!

Puff !! El arco de Arabastra ha llegado a su punto culminante, y como lo ha hecho... ósea me ha dejado con una sensación de sinvivir increíble, la verdad es que no es raro que esta saga sea considerada una de las mejores de la serie. El único pero que puedo ponerle es que el autor usa demasiado el recurso de las Akuma no Mi, aburre un poco que todo ser la tenga a estas alturas del manga, teniendo en cuenta que eso frutos, supuestamente, son tan raros.

En este tomo destaca el personaje de Sanji y como juega sus cartas. Y el de Cocodrile, que se perfila como uno de los más complejos y ricos de toda la historia, y que no puede evitar caer en gracia al lector. Por otro lado Vivi... a estas alturas de la historia está demostrando que es una auténtica inútil sintiéndolo en el alma. Que sí ,que vale, que no es una tía con superpoderes y una gigantesca fuerza bruta como lo son Luffy, Sanji, y Zoro, y que eso la hace muy humana. Es simplemente que al ser tan sacrificada y preocuparse tanto por su pueblo, es demasiado perfecta para que conecte con ella.

A bit more set-up at the beginning, and possibly the best of the lot: establishing both sides of the incoming war, the king and the rebel leader, as unambiguously good folks who are fighting for the sake of the kingdom and its people. It really mounts up the terror and the tension once things start to go belly-up.

I wonder why Crocodile doesn't have any haki, despite having once been one of the big players who fought with Whitebeard himself. He could've used some observation here to find out Chopper. Of course the author hadn't figured out the power yet, at this point... but an in-universe explanation, I think, is that he'd simply let himself go. You need to sharpen the power, and hanging out in the weaker seas is a good way to lose the edge. Arlong and even Buggy could have suffered from the same.

Great moment for Sanji in the end.

Pero que volumen más intenso!!, de los más intensos hasta ahora.

Realmente comenzar a leer one piece es prepararte para no poder soltar cada tomo hasta que se termine.

Hablando ya de lo que pasa en este tomo, no tengo palabras para describir lo FASCINADA que estoy con todo, el desarrollo del conflicto es espectacular y cada detalle es muy importante. Algo que me encanta es que todos los personajes aportan algo, en mayor o menor medida siempre tienen algo que aportar, esta vez les tocó a sanji (sobre todo a él) y a chopper.

En fin, que me voy directo a leer el otro tomo porque no doy más con ese final.

It's fun and touching

It certainly gets cliché from time to time, but after having read 19 volumes of this series I just gotta give it to the author; his work, especially the adventures in Alabasta Kingdom, tells the truth about the people'/ popul'ation and the very way what a real leader should be like.

The two sever'/ separ'ate decision-making scenes of Luffy and King Cobra of Nefertari Dynasty, where they after all decide to strike their common target astonish even the brightest strategists in real world.

I recommend this story to anyone, literally anyone, and you won't be sorry.

BTW, the kingdom's map happens to look just like the Lan'kdong River Delta, while it must be depicting the Nile Delta...just my thoughts. What was that really called in ancient Egyptian tongue? I suddenly don't recall it. Egypt was called Kemet by the ancient Egyptians, and Nile is how the Greeks called the river, and Greece is how the Romans called the country called by its own people Hellas. Come to think about it, what a ridiculous, big comedy are we living in now? lol

Ha estado muy bien, pero le pesa un poco que sea un tomo de transición. En el tomo anterior presentan el conflicto, aquí lo desarrollan y en el siguiente imagino ya empieza la acción (aunque este no está corto de acción, precisamente, pero una acción menos relevante para la trama a rasgos generales). Aún así lo repito, ha estado muy bien. Me gusta mucho este arco, la trama es algo más compleja que las que ha habido hasta ahora (sin complicarse mucho la vida, que esto no deja de ser un tebeo de peleas!) y Cocodrilo es todo un señor villano (aunque demasiado prepotente como para resultar carismático).

En otro orden de cosas, Miss All Sunday nunca me gustó demasiado cuando vi el anime, y en el manga sigue sin gustarme. Puede que sea porque tiene el poder más feo hasta ahora (incluso más feo que el de Buggy!) o puede que sencillamente el personaje no me caiga demasiado bien, no lo sé, pero ps.
