The story is getting better with each volume, finally.

The first few chapters in this volume are so beautiful i was just in awe 😊 Skypiea is not my favorite arc even though i still love most of it. Moving on to the next volume ❤️

The manga pacing is faster than the anime’s which is interesting!

Ya estamos en skypiea 🤭 si son unos niños diviertiendose en las nubes, que estás nubes xd
Pero la diversión no dura por siempre, no pagaron la tarifa y ahora andan de ilegales 😅 y ejalee cuando los quisieron detener no se dejaron por lo que ahora son criminales de clase 2 🥲🤣
Se deberán enfrentar a la ira de Dios 🙊 Enel y sus sacerdotes. Una trampa, 4 prisiones y 3 sometidos a pruebas.
Deje cositas en el tintero cómo al caballero del cielo, Gan Fall. Los ayudo en una primera ocasión frente a un extraño guerrero y les dió un silbato para emergencias. Y luego salva a Conis de la ira de Dios por hablar de más.
Oh los diales 🙈 es que esas cosas agg y nami con el waver me dió tanta risa Luffy xd pequeño envidioso jsjsjsj
Ah y lo último, ya entramos a las pruebas. Luffy, Sanji y Usopp eligieron el camino de las pelotas que los llevo a enfrentarse a Satori. Acá empiezan a hablar y mostrar ya más formalmente el haki 🙌🏼
Y si, cada vez más nostalgia por Merry :(

Oda is a grandmaster at establishing the fantasy, the adventure, and the mystery and peril. I think this arc is the first time he gets to really pull off all stops with the stuff. Neither we nor the Straw Hats have any idea where they've just ended up, with things gradually unveiling and the initially lighthearted jaunt turning into something creepier and deadlier. A seemingly divine force is set against them...
...and a bit of a funny timing for me to read just this stuff, when in the comic, as I write this, an even greater divine force - with much the same methods and mood, just cranked up to eleven - has showed up. The Skypiea Arc seemed like filler when it first came out, but even to this day it continues to prove its value and worth in foreshadowing.

SKYPIEA ARC - PART 1
1. i love reading chemistry stuff in new worlds, YES, give me the science of it all, especially about new land mass!!!
2. i love the idea of the shell dials! tone dial, lamp dial, wind dial. it's also a clever way to show again the different types of animals that get used that substitute electrical things - like the transponder snails and now the shell dials.
3. first impression of the kami island: it looks like the spirit plane in avatar the last airbender
4. i need to know all the class offenses now, so i will keep track. so far, i know 5 out of 11. (will update which volume tells me those)
class 1: not submitting to the judgment of a kami's vassal (#27)
class 2: disrespecting the kami (#26)
class 3:
class 4:
class 5: obstructing government official (#26)
class 6:
class 7:
class 8:
class 9: theft from sky island (#26)
class 10: damaging sky island property (#26)
class 11: trespassing (#26)
5. once again, a group of crooked people are taking charge of a country while the actual ruler (king or god all alike) are nowhere to be found/disempowered
6. so far, this entire volume was merely exposition with the hint of the challenge and red line to be followed about.

Skypiea Arc is were the exploration and the sense of wonder truly shines, and this elements became to vocal point of the arc that makes it one of the best arc in the series.

I like the new world, up in the clouds. It seems very interesting. What isn't intere9is endless pages about the waver and how to ride it.

The art for Skypiea is beautiful. The arc as a whole is a hit or miss for some people. I really like it, but I can understand those who don't. Enel is great. I'd love to see him return at some point.

I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of this arc, so you'll see that my ratings for the next couple of volumes are going to be pretty low.
I know it's an important arc, both because of Merri and because we get our first introduction of the haki, but i have never found it as exciting as all he others arcs

Me ha parecido muy divertido, aventuras en una isla en el cielo, con la historia un poco más cohesionada que anteriormente y mucho humor. En principio le había dado cinco estrellas, pero comentándolo me he dado cuenta de que los personajes están bastante "ooc" (out of character) y eso no mola, así que le bajo una.

When you can't read books, cure your slump with Manga. Sky Island feels really underwhelming, yet I'm still in the beginning so let's see how this turns out

The sky islands are intriguing and it is fun starting a new arc. The place looks a little too good to be true and it is, of course. I love that Conis and her father and the Sky Knight is a cool character, too.

No voy a decir que este vaya a ser uno de mis tomos favoritos, el anterior dejo el listón muy alto, pero de momento me esta gustando lo que estoy viendo y leyendo. Me encanta el aire de descubrimiento y exploración que impregna todo este arco, lo echaba en falta desde esos capítulos en que la banda entro en el Grand Line y se encontraron con Laboon y a los gigantes, por ejemplo. La presentación de Sky Island, su entorno y características ha estado muy bien. Y también me mola el brete en el que se encuentran, separados en dos grupos y con dioses y sacerdotes persiguiéndoles.
Sospecho que este no va a ser un arco muy decisivo, pero espero de él buenos momentos.

It's nice how things starts going faster. And the crew being separated in two group offers some opportunities for nice interactions. Some of the forshadowing is hurting my heart though

One Piece, Vol. 26 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (237–246) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon begins the Skypiea Arc. The Straw Hats successfully reach the cloud harboring Skypiea, and soon after their arrival meet some of its inhabitants – a hostile group of apparently primitive natives and a friendlier people of the more civilized town of Angel Island. While the rest of Straw Hats mingle with them, learning of the town's history, and enjoying its unique technology, Nami explores the endless sea of clouds. She finds Skypiea, but learns that the Straw Hats have been labeled as trespassers and will be dealt with accordingly.
Although, the Straw Hats are able to fend off an initial arrest attempt, their ship, and some of the crew, is taken away by Eneru, the current god of all that lies atop the cloud. Free, but wishing to reunite with their friends, Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp enter Skypiea – Eneru's domain to rescue them.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. Riding the Knock Up Stream, the Straw Hats finds themselves in the "White Sea" – an ocean in the sky. While greeted amiably, their prescience in the White Seas is noticed and they are promptly placed arrest for trespassing. While some of the crew is arrested and taken away, the others plan to rescue them, by going into the belly of the beast – Skypiea, where the cruel God Enel resides.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 26 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

A lot of the fanbase seems to have a problem with the Skypiea arc and reading this volume I kind of understand why. It's very exposition heavy, you have the introduction of the sky islands, the knights, the gods and angels. There is a lot more but you get the gist, the thing is it's great introducing all these elements but not one of them is developed or intriguing, so it make the whole thing feel like a slog to read through. To boil it down, it's at least 2 new concepts per chapter and we've got 10 chapters in this so that 20 new things. I kind of miss the simplicity of early One Piece at the moment where it didn't have all these things happening at once and you could just enjoy the voyage.
The only good bit for me was the local citizens that took in the crew to help them out and the alter scene at the end. However the thing with the alter is it requires a sacrifice and they had a few of the Straw Hats there but this is one of those series where I just don't feel like there is a genuine threat. So there isn't that emotional pull or stakes there it just feels like it's put in there for no reason.

I think the biggest win was seeing some more of Robin’s power tbh. But I am intrigued by this whole Heaven’s Gate and the people so far. I’m curious to know how the world functions since it seems like it isn’t as peaceful and picturesque as previously presented.
The boys are so good in response to Conis’ betrayal though I understand why she did it considering she was nearly smited (smoted?) in real time. And just who exactly is this knight? Everyone seems to know Gafor, but Conis referred to him as “kami”, interesting!
Once again, the gang is split up but I like that we’ve changed combinations again. I think it’s fun to see different relationships at play. You can tell Sanji is already kind of over it having to be the voice of reason between Luffy and Usopp, lol.
Have I mentioned that I love how Zolo looks out for everyone? His willingness to let the others get to safety while he stays with the ship. He’s a good first mate. <3

(Read in 2010, review from 2024)
After a better last volume (Vol 25.) this one I thought was alright. The Straw Hats are finally in Skypiea proper which has all of Eiichiro Oda's crazy unique ideas and designs worked throughout. I will say as interesting as the designs were there was a lot of exposition dumped on the reader which wasn't as interesting. Still there were a lot of cool visuals which I think carried the volume otherwise.

They finally arrived there. I like that place, the reason is too simple. I am so surprised at the people who live in sky island.Have you ever seen the people who have a wing on the back? I have never seen them like this, so I like the idea of author of One piece. It is so interesting for me. They met an old man before this volume. He used to be the God of sky island before.

Me ha parecido más entretenido que el anterior, aunque no me ha llegado a atrapar, sobre todo en la segunda mitad. Ha habido varias conversaciones al principio que me han hecho mucha gracia. Esta gente son un caso.
September 21, 2022
Honestly this is the first arc that I'm not super invested in. It's very boring and feels like such a disconnect after Alabasta, which had so much heart in it. Though, to be fair, Alabasta would have been a tough arc to follow at all.

Very anti climate. All that work to travel to the sky for a badly written story arc so far.
