Yup I fell in to the series like a brick in the ocean. Currently up to Chapter 441 after an epic marathon last night. Thoughs on everything up to there:
- I knew there was going to be something great about Shanks!
- Holy crap Luffy has an awesome family.
- Why haven't we heard from the Shihibukai since Crocodile? (I also have to say that even now, he still one of my favorite One Piece villains.)
- Poor Sanji and his wanted portrait. Also, poor Chopper with his bounty.
- Whitebeard is one of my favorite pirates. He looks like GAR personified.
- I think Franky & Nico had the best backstories to me (as far as personal impact is concerned).
- All of those little chapters before a chapter made me chuckle occasionally. I wonder if the characters highlighted are going to come back into play in the future?
- Devil Fruits are some serious [parasitic bomb].
