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.

Another fun saga as the fight against Big Mom and Katakuri continues! Very clever move by Sanji, although I'll be happy to be done with the sweet food references by the conclusion... onwards and upwards to the next crazy adventure with Luffy & gang!

As the SBS brings up, perfection is boring. There are no perfect characters in One Piece. Katakuri got a lot more interesting as his flaws were revealed as well.

This was a pretty good volume and while they are on the run from Big Mom whose getting slim and by the end powers up, its both like a comedy and a thrill to see them escape and make the deadline while SANJI prepares the cake and in other place in the mirror-verse we have Luffy fighting Katakuri, like facing his own match and its an intriguing fight and we learn more about the latter. The volume is a combination of laugh out loud moments, part food humor and all. Also that moment between Chiffon and her father was so cool. Emotional for sure.

He dicho ya que me encanta Katakuri?? Incluso lleva un reloj de bolsillo!! jajaja

Me está gustando bastante este arco, pese a que la gente se queja de él. Vale que los mugis están teniendo mucha suerte, pero es que sí no...

La forma Sulong, mola.
Big mom todo loca, mola.
La dinámica de Sanji y pudding, mola...
La pelea entre luffy y Katakuri, mola (el momento merienda ha sido demasiado, que irónico y que risas XD )
Brulée secuestrada una vez tras otra, mola jajajajajaja

First : I really like Bege and Chiffon as a couple. I don't know how, but Oda managed to give me several couples that I like in this arc and I appreciate it.
I also love a lot of characters here? First and for foremost Katakuri who is both an awful person and an awesome brother? Chiffon is just great, Brulée is fun and a total fangirl for Katakuri which I think is sweet. Chiffon's dad is very touching. I could go on. the level of detail is really impressive.
I also appreciate how Luffy is smart about his fight while staying himself. He understands that Katakuri is using his haki to avoid being touched by Luffy's attacks. Luffy is okay to flee the fight for a bit so he can come back stronger. Lots of things to like really.
And seeing Jinbei and Carrot showing great skills is also nice. I like that everyone gets moments to shine and they are not all about being good at punching people??? All the crew has different strength and they are all needed to make it through all the adventures Luffy pulls them into.

La verdad es que noto un ligero bajón respecto al tomo anterior. A ver, me ha gustado mucho y me lo he pasado muy bien leyéndolo, pero hay algo que me falta en esta tomo y no sé que es. Creo que es que, si bien el tomo ha dejado, a grandes rasgos, buenos momentos, y a que la trama avanza a buen ritmo, s la saga le falta impactar más, que es algo que sucedía en anteriores arcos.

No obstante este volumen nos ha dejado algunos de ls mejores momentos de esta saga. El Luffy vs Katakuri se está poniendo muy intenso, Katakuri está resultando ser todo un personaje y me está encantando, tiene una forma de ser muy perfilada, lo que junto a sus enormes habilidades y el juego que está dando en su pelea contra Luffy le hace único. Me ha matado que con todo ese aura y fama de imperturbable, invencible y serio que tiene se construya una casa para comer donuts y poder relajarse en paz, pobrecito mío. Ahí se nota que es hijo de su madre y que la fama pesa.

Por otro lado lo del pastel de bodas me llama la atención más que nada por ver a Sanji en su salsa y por todo lo que ha pasado con el padre de Chiffon. Pobre hombre, que pena me ha dado y como me ha matado que solo su nieto, sin haberle visto nunca ni nada, le reconociera y llorara por él. El tipo ha sido uno de tantos héroes que ha dejado este manga. Lo de Pudding emocionada con Sanji me sigue recordando demasiado a Boa Hancock, y por ello ni gracia me hace.

Y por supuesto, junto al Luffy vs Katakuri, el gran momento del tomo ha sido Carrot en modo Sulong. No me lo esperaba para nada, ha sido una sorpresa muy agradable, y ello ha hecho que me guste tanto. Carrot es una chica que me cae muy bien desde que apareció, y está ayudando mucho a los mugiwaras. Pero eso era todo, hasta ahora no me llamaba la atención excepto por su personalidad tan diferente a las otras dos chicas del grupo y tan similar a Luffy. Pero desde ahora la seguiré con más atención y espero mucho de ella. Realmente espero que sean ciertos los rumores de que va a ser la nueva nakana de los mugiwaras, porque bien desarrollada puede aportar mucho a la banda en los momentos de acción y humor.

¿Que Whole Cake no es la mejor saga de “One Piece”? Pues no ¿Pero y qué? Yo, la verdad, es que me lo estoy pasando genial con ella, y estoy deseando leer su desenlace. Para mi no está resultando tan soporífera como había leído por internet hace tiempo, hay muchas cosas en ella que retienen mi atención.

Volume 88: Chapter 880-889
Saga 9: Whole Cake Island
Arc 29: Whole Cake Island

Jinbe shows his skills as a helmsman by escaping from the wave. They will meet Sanji at Cacao Island at 1 am in the morning. The cake is done and they will deliver the cake at sea. Charlotte Oven interfered. Fire Tank Pirates arrived at the dock. Pound helped them to escape.

Thousand Sunny was surrounded by the whole fleet of Big Mom Pirates and there is no escape. During the full moon, Carrot changed into Sulong Mode and destroy the Big Mom Pirates fleets. Brook also joined to destroyed the fleet.

Luffy fights againts Katakuri and its getting intense. Luffy knows that he cannot hits Katakuri as he can see the future. Katakuri also already awakened his devil fruit. Katakuri's Armament Haki cannot withstand Luffy's Gear 4. Luffy knows that he can achieved advancement of Haki if he fights a powerful person.

Luffy vs Katakuri is the best fight in this series. I doubt it will be topped before the end, too.

Luffy and the rest of the crew have split up in order to get away from Whole Cake Island, but their many battles against the Big Mom pirates may be more than they can bear! Oda will shock, charm, and shake readers with this entry to the "One Piece" series. Everybody has a role to play, and some are going to have to reveal their more dangerous sides in order to survive!

The scene that Pound tried to serve Chiffon is impressing. Although Chiffon doesn’t know about Pound is her father, Pound wanted to serve his daughter and son. The title of this chapter “Somewhere, Someone is Wishing for Your Happiness” is much to this story. He was smiling at the last. I felt a little bit lonely.

Holy hell this was a great volume. Aww and pound so sad. Love how this arc is showcases how dangerous the Straw Hats can be. Not because of there abilities but how they can make allies out of nearly everyone they meet.

Pudding, Chiffon und Sanji sind auf Cacao angekommen und versuchen die Hochzeitstorte nach zu backen, um Big Moms Fresssuchtanfall zu stoppen.
Nami, Chopper, Brook, Jinbei und Carrot sind auf der Thousand Sunny und versuchen so schnell wie möglich von Big Mom wegzukommen, während Ruffy es in der Spiegelwelt mit Charlotte Katakuri aufnimmt, der mit einer Milliarde Berry Kopfgeld ein schwerer Gegner ist.

"Löwe" von Eiichiro Oda ist der achtundachtzigste Band der One Piece Reihe.

Auch wenn die Flucht von Whole Cake Island fürs Erste geglückt ist, ist die Gefahr noch lange nicht vorüber, denn die Strohhüte müssen Big Moms Territorium unbedingt verlassen.
Ruffy muss sich derweil wieder mal einem harten Gegner stellen, denn Charlotte Katakuri kann dank seines Haki nicht nur in die Zukunft sehen, seine Teufelskraft ist auch erwacht und er hat diese perfekt unter Kontrolle. Die beiden sind einander fast ebenbürtig, sodass es einen actionreichen Kampf gibt!
Sanji, Pudding und Chiffon wollen unterdessen die Hochzeitstorte nachbacken, um Big Mom zu besänftigen, die immer noch hinter Nami und Co. her ist und die geballte Stärke ihrer Kinder im Nacken hat.

Auch dieser Band war wieder richtig spannend, weil es nie langweilig wird!
Die Strohhüte kommen wieder mal an ihre Grenzen und müssen über sich hinauswachsen, denn ihre Gegner machen es ihnen natürlich nicht leicht.
Auch dieser Band endet wieder mit einem ziemlich fiesen Cliffhanger, aber auch die einzelnen Kapitel hatten oft ein überraschendes Ende!
Ich möchte sofort weiterlesen, denn ich bin echt gespannt, wie es mit der Strohhutpiraten weitergeht!

Fazit:
"Löwe" von Eiichiro Oda konnte mich absolut fesseln, denn es war niemals langweilig! Nicht nur die einzelnen Kapitel hatten überraschende Enden, auch dieser Band endet mit einem gemeinen Cliffhanger und ich bin so gespannt, wie es weitergehen wird!

The clock’s ticking down as Big Mom approaches the Sunny. Luffy’s still fighting Katakuri to keep him away from his friends while Sanji, Pudding and Chiffon have to bake a cake to appease Mom’s hunger. Big Mom’s constant chasing and screaming was starting to get old but then the various disconnected subplots start working together to build a great sense of tension as she gets closer and closer to wiping out the heroes.

The volume makes you think things are going in their favour. Luffy starts to work out how he can win his fight and starts to ramp things up. Carrot reveals her terrifying secret talent to thin out the Big Mom fleet. Sanji creates a cake so delicious that it can actually be used as a weapon. But then it all goes off the rails right at the end when Big Mom appears and shows off some horrifying new powers.

The action in this volume is so-so - Katakuri’s powers aren’t all that exciting and Carrot’s escapades are quite hard to follow (though that may have been the intention given how fast she’s moving and how the enemy have trouble processing her) but there’s a lot of great character moments. Sanji gets to show off his cooking skills which usually get a bit overlooked since they usually can’t factor into fights, and it’s great that his passion gets to play a big part in the climax. This also triggers some humorous reactions from Pudding, who’s more consistently funny in the volume compared to the previous one. Surprisingly, the highlights of this volume come from Chiffon’s family. Bege gets to show his papa bear side and Pound of all people gets some tragic development and backstory. He was a goofy background character before but he really comes into his own in this volume.

Hmmm... I'm not sure how I feel about this arc by this point. That is, it's definitely great, but the "problem" is I can't tell if I like it better than Dressrosa. The thought that keeps popping into my head is that Dressrosa is better than WCI but WCI better approaches the heights of pre-timeskip... which doesn't make sense because necessarily WCI would then be "better than" Dressrosa... right!? I guess the idea is that Dressrosa is too reminiscent of Alabasta, so I like it because I love Alabasta, but I appreciate WCI more for being more original...? Anyway, I'm pretty sure we're approaching the climax, and/or we're already there. I spoiled myself a bit because I knew about , and I wanted to know when it happened, and I saw it will occur next volume, so I imagine that's when the main Katakuri battle will end. Oh, and, plus, I'm pretty sure I know in a later arc, so....

****

I don't remember if I said before, but I'd do Praline, no lie.

Big Mom's "GIMME THAT CAAAAKE" reminds me of myself whenever I see Smoothie...!

Poor Brulee used and abused as a method of transportation all arc. It's funny because I first saw her in Film Red, which is set afterward (but non-canon), where she was pretty much just used for transportation as well.

I'd make a joke about the "sweet cream," but everyone in the comments on Manga Plus already beat me to it.

Carrot's Sulong form makes me... sooo long...! ;)

“That’s a captain’s order!”

“I don’t intend to die here!”

“When someone is hungry, I feed them? That’s what a cook does!”

Luffy being in the mirror world was stressful. My heart broke when he told the crew that he can’t focus on the fight if there were still mirrors on the ship because he would worry about their safety. But I’m glad that nami took charge in making sure the mirrors were broken I wonder how he is going to get back. Him putting the glass in his mouth to make sure they didn’t realize he was sending one last message to his crew was determination. When that huge wave came up, I was so scared! But Jimbei stepped up and saved them!

Watching Luffy fight the mochi man is so interesting. They have such similar powers so the battle kept me on my toes. Luffy wanting to make sure that the mochi man was at his best because he didn’t want to beat him at his weakest is such a Luffy move. Oda really knows how to make sure his character actually stay in character. Another example was when Sanji refused to put poison in the cake. Bege was right in the sense that this is their one chance to kill Big Mom. But Sanji is staying true to his character.

Thoughts like reading:

- Damnnn just by scent? Sanji is crazyyy
- NOOOOOOOO THIS IS BAD
- YOU TELL THEM NAMI
- Yesss we love the faith Sanji
- I loveeee Nami’s sweater dress
- W Rizz Sanji
- Chip world is so funny
- DAMNNN WITH ONE LEG? Okay Sanji
- NOOO I feel bad for him he just wanted to see his daughter
- Carrot??? LETS GO
- Yo W Rizz from Sanji once again

🧨 PRIMERO: Debo decir que falle a mi promesa. Debía seguir escribiendo para cada tomo y paso que tuve un ataque de "pocas ganas". Por suerte eso no me impidió seguir leyendo, pero si de escribir mis pensamientos crudos sobre los tomos leídos. Voy a intentar escribir algo sobre los que me quedaron, pero algunas cosas supongo que quedaran diluidas en el camino.

🤏 2 - Que loco que después de todo este tiempo de diferencia con el arco de Skypea y recién ahora Luffy aprende a usar su hakki para ver el futuro uno segundos.
👍3 - La dinámica sobre Sanji y Pudding cambia y ahora ella es la de los ojitos corazón. Que loco que pudieran conseguir un interés romántico tan diferente y a la vez tan perfecto para el personaje. Algo que se veía bastante difícil dando a conocer lo que muchos odian del personaje.
👎4 - Un giro a la limitación esa de Luffy de los 10 minutos. Espero que no se vuelva a repetir en todos lo arcos. Me gusta la idea de las limitaciones, solo que si siempre tiene que estar tirado por ahí sin poder hacer nada para alargar la trama me da una ansiedad terrible.
🤏5 - Ya me parecía rara la portada. No entendía quien chota era el yoko kurama con la luna en la portada. A veces soy mas lento...

Rufy deve vedersela con il pericoloso Katakuri e il suo potere Mochi Mochi (mai pensato che il mochi potesse essere così pericoloso...), il tutto mentre la sua ciurma si trova circondata da navi nemiche. Sanji, Pudding e Chiffon invece hanno le ore contate per preparare la torta nuziale e Big Mom folle per il suo disturbo avanza incontrastata... Un volume adrenalinico, pieno di azione con la lotta tra Rufy e Katakuri ma anche la questione della torta sa essere affascinante e mi piace molto come venga dato spazio a Sanji e si mischi la sua abilità sia di cuoco che di combattente (lo amo, non so se si era capito.. e Pudding che si imbambola quando lui fa il figo... io uguale). Insomma un bel volume con un finale molto "Aaaahhhh! Cosa vuol dire che dobbiamo aspettare fino a febbraio?!?!” Bello, mi è piaciuto il segreto di Katakuri (LOL) e la parte dedicata a Carrot, inaspettata ma bella e dimostra di non essere solo un personaggio di contorno!

Sanji damadımız pastanın reçetesini kokusundan çıkardı, daha ne yapsın. Pastayı yapmaya yardım etti üstelik tek ayağıyla taşıdı da. Bege’nin "Chiffon’a gidiyoruz" demesine de bayıldım. Lord Oven ismini duyunca cidden çok güldüm, her isim her karakter aşırı komik bu arc’ta. Ama gerizekalıydı o da. Şansını çok zorladı. Bege zehirlemek ya da pastayla Mama’yı patlatmak istese de Oda’nın asla böyle bir şey yapmayacağı çok açıktı. Jinbe’nin gemiyi kontrolü olağanüstüydü. Nami’nin aynaları kırmasına bayıldım. Ne zaman Luffy’yi dinlemesi gerektiğini biliyor cidden. Carrot’ın dönüşümü de planı da muhteşemdi. Mama’nın yorulması gerekiyordu ama maşallah yemek için delirdi de delirdi. Aksiyon okumaktan gerçekten çok yoruldum. Katakuri resmen kavgada yemek arası verdi, farkında olmasa bile. Luffy’de ara vermiş oldu. En nefret ettiğim şey Luffy’nin gearlardaki zaman kısıtlaması, Oda cidden sinir bozucu burada.

PS: Zoro’yu özledim.

jimbei surfed with sunny LOL

they're all gonna rendezvous at cacao island at 1am.

HAHAHHAHA katakuri's image was totally destroyed after this.

to get his wife back, bege willingly docked and faced big mom's people.

pound (lola and chiffon's dad) helped bege and chiffon escape while his stepson was going to kill him from behind.

the sunny was faced with a line of big mom's ships and carrot said to leave it to her because tonight's a full moon. pedro trained carrot to transform into sulong form. this is the true form of the minks. she electric-shocked big mom's people. a mink unable to control the sulong form would die if they tire themselves out by fighting throughout the night. brook went out to help carrot.

afterwards, they returned to the sunny. while fighting big mom, sunny was badly damaged and they managed to capture zeus for nami.

Volume 88 of One Piece continues with Big Mom chasing the Straw Hats. The endpoint of the volume puts the Straw Hats into a serious predicament. Luffy wants to fight Katakuri at his full strength since that is how Haki powers truly grow.

Oda reveals that Katakuri isn't invincible, but his Color of Observation Haki is so refined that he reforms his body to avoid injury. If Katakuri isn't calm, cool, and collected he can't use his superior Haki abilities.

Big Mom attacks one of her islands. Jinbei knows how to read the waves. Carrot helps out by turning in a Sulong; it's a werewolf-esque power that any Mink accesses with a gaze at the Full Moon.

Meanwhile, Linlin is getting thin. It has been so long since her pangs started that she's losing weight. Also, the Big Mom Pirates don't trust the cake Sanji made.

Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.
