Unpopular opinion: I never liked Usopp going against Luffy for the Merri. I understand his feelings, but he never even stopped to consider that Luffy and the others were feeling the same
September 12, 2020
La Golden Merry cade ormai a pezzi e con essa anche i legami di amicizia che legavano i membri della ciurma, rendendo il fardello del Capitano quasi insopportabile.
E quando la nave sembra quasi piangere, noi piangiamo con lei.
Un numero intenso, e dopo solo due volumi la saga di Water Seven è già una delle mie preferite.

This is probably the single best One Piece volume to date. It's got such emotional stakes that no other part of the story till now - perhaps ever - can match: two characters that we've gotten to know throughout the entire story come to blows, in a believable and realistic manner where you can absolutely see both points of view and kind of agree with both and could likely not think of a way to reconcile them yourself. It's been a long time coming and set up very well in the preceding volumes, and it leads to Usopp the coward's finest and bravest moment, against one friend for the sake of another, followed by some misery and grief that's only the beginning.
Not trying to knock on some of the recent arcs and stories, which are all great, but in my mind, Water 7 and Enies Lobby still rule supreme.

One Piece, Vol. 35 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (328–336) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues the Water Seven Arc. Monkey D. Luffy reluctantly decides to abandon the ship. Usopp, having grown attached to the Going Merry, is unwilling to take this course of action and challenges Luffy's captaincy. Once defeated, Usopp decides to leave the Straw Hats, and the others go searching for a new ship.
Meanwhile, the Aqua Laguna, an annual storm that strikes Water Seven, is about to return. To coincide with this Iceburg, the owner of Galley-La, is attacked, and Nico Robin is labeled as the prime suspect. Knowing Robin is a member of the Straw Hats, all of Water Seven turns against them.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. The Going Merry, the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, is badly damaged that Monkey D. Luffy reluctantly decides to abandon her. Predictably, since the ship was from his childhood friend and possible love Kaya, Usopp is reluctant to leave her behind and challenges and loses the captaincy and decides to part ways with the Straw Hat Pirates – a first in the series.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 35 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

This arc is so painful. First because of the Merry. And due to the tensions in the crew. I do think Luffy handles it as best as he can. But it hurts to read anyway.

Usopp's character is a centerpiece to this story arc as his whole existence is put into question following mistakes and failures that he can barely live with. This leads to him being overly dramatic and giving himself the ultimatum that he so desired. The end builds up to an epic battle with Franky finally showing up and a third party intervening.

Usopp is such a darling and lovable character. He tries so hard and loves his nakama so much. Who can't relate his story here of not feeling worthy and being afraid to face them after being beaten?
Obviously Merry is special to the entire crew, but she holds special meaning to Usopp, in particular, since she did come from his village and was gifted to them from Kaya. If anything hurts more than watching the fight between Luffy and Usopp, it's definitely Merry crying about it at the end of chapter 332.

Absolute perfection. Love this volume so much. All of this drama for just a ship. Yet I care immensely. Pure brilliance.
(It gets ruined a little bit later, but what happens here and now is still great).

Corazón en la mano desde el primer capítulo, como siempre Oda sabiendo controlar mis emociones a su gusto, pero creo que en este tomo realmente se lució.
Este tomo fue de los más dolorosos y difíciles de leer hasta ahora, y por donde va la cosa creo que vamos a seguir sufriendo un buen rato. Siempre me pregunté como sería si llegaba el momento en el que no todo en el barco sería risas y felicidad, porque a pesar de los momentos difíciles nunca habían pasado conflictos ENTRE ellos, y de verdad que me impresionó lo bien tratado que estuvo, me quedo sin palabras.
Otra cosa que tomo muy en cuenta es como se nos muestra que Luffy puede ser serio (y de verdad que puede, oh dios) y, a demás, creo que algo importante también es que no se nos había mostrado esa parte más emocional(?) si se quiere, de este personaje desde que nos muestra su pasado, y lo veo como algo super destacable porque hasta ahora todos tuvieron su momento importante y emocional, pero no habíamos llegado a Luffy y como se siente nuestro Capitán (un título más acertado para este tomo no había). A demás, nos hace empatizar muchísimo con el personaje.
Nada, que este arco esta siendo de mis favoritos hasta ahora y tengo una curiosidad tremenda sobre Robin, no puedo esperar a saber todo.

Finally some real tension in the straw hat crew!! It can’t be all rainbows and friendship all the time- a break from the pact was bound to happen and it makes sense it would be Usopp over Luffy’s decision to abandon the Merry Go ship. Their confrontation and the 1v1 match that followed is all that I hope to see happen more in One Piece. Give me dramaaaaa ~~~~ 🙂↕️
I did take one star off because I’m a lil iffy about Franky. The outright flamboyant characters always bother me loool ☠️

Easy 5/5. They did the “crew splits up” trope extremely well.

Se me ha hecho más fluido que los anteriores y al menos me ha interesado, pero no llevo nada bien que dese hace varios tomos los personajes estén tan ooc en pro de buscar peleas sin sentido.

WATER 7 ARC - PART 2
1. how do pirates smell like? (beside the obvious sweat and dirt)
2. it was about time that there is infighting. i've been waiting for it, because i thought it to be almost too good to be true that there hasn't been huge arguments yet, because with a crew like that, there are bound to be some kind of ideals that will clash. quarrels like zoro and sanji obviously don't count, because they're just that - quarrels.
while i do agree that there couldn't have been another way but to duke it out between usopp and luffy, it didn't have to start out with a bang. usopp mourning the money he's lost, and then luffy starting the topic of the merry go with 'i decided i'm gonna get a new ship' rather than first explain what the shipwright people said about the merry being unsalvageable really set the tone, and immediately gave usopp the impression that he didn't care about the merry go, when that's not what actually happened. luffy didn't decide that on a whim, but the way he started the conversation sounded like it. but usopp's insecurity also hindered him in seeing further to the actual point luffy is trying to make, because whatever reason he's telling luffy, it all goes back to him tying his worth to the merry go: it's the ship he's had a hand in getting for them, he's been the one working on her. if they get a new ship, they effectively would 'throw him away too'. his kind of thinking that something broken is still worth something having and fighting for (himself basically). and also usopp's mega antagonising luffy and his decision and projecting his insecurity on him and luffy obviously feels cornered about a decision so huge and also he's somewhat of a hothead, sooooo i mean i get why a fight broke out.
3. (i still don't believe the merry go isn't salvageable, btw)
4. i love the way the battle went between usopp and luffy. usopp is not stupid, and the way he fights is especially by confusing his enemies and rendering them not being able to expect what's happening next. you'd never think somebody is using hot tabasco sauce during a fight and actually trying to hinder you by making you have to deal with either shitty smells or spicy stuff. also, there's so many ways people can take punches and still continue on, but there's also many ways to put the body in sensory overload, which greatly confuses the body in such a situation. and i like that oda put that in, and i also like that luffy basically won with one fat punch that ended all. in any way, somehow each chapter leaves me with a heavier heart than before.
5. if i had a transponder snail, i'd dress them up so cutely :>
6. will franky always do some contemporary dance and also interpretative dancing while talking?

Este arco me encanta pero me rompe el corazoncito 🥺 Merry Merry Merry, ya dieron la noticia, no tiene arreglo. La quilla que es la columna del barco está rota. Luffy y Nami recibieron la noticia, no sé lo tomaron bien. Aún con el dinero que tienen de sus aventuras en la isla del cielo no pueden salvar a Merry. A Usopp por otra parte se lo llevaron junto a parte del dinero los secuaces de Franky. Le dieron una paliza pero los muwis más fuertes fueron a tomar la revancha aunque llegaron tarde para recuperar el dinero.
Y bueno le contaron a Usopp lo del barco, desde siempre he pensado que toda esta situación no la manejan con suficiente comunicación pero de todas formas Usopp igual se pasó, desafío la autoridad de luffy como capitán se sublevó y no está bien. Aunque si que debieron haber conversado las cosas pero bueno 🤷🏻♀️
Ahora ya Usopp está fuera de la tripulación, se batió a un duelo con Luffy por el going Merry. El ganador fue obviamente Luffy pero aún así le cedió el cedió el barco a Usopp ya que no volverán a navegar en él 🥺
Por otra parte Robin anda extraviada, se topo con alguien en la calle, "CP9" 🤭 y ahora está con este personaje misterioso. Y juntos atacaron a Iceburg, le dispararon, aún no sabemos más detalles.
Y finalmente termina el volumen en medio de un enfrentamiento en Franky y Luffy. Y ojito que ahora de unieron los carpinteros de Galley la.
Ah y Franky es un Cyborg xd

How am I tearing up over a wooden ship? Is Oda a wizard or is my emotional regulation that terrible?
Was also not prepared for the emotional depth of Usopp's crisis. That whole sequence was a surprising gum-gum pistol to the heart.
I needed a strong volume like this. Very excited to see how this all turns out!

(massive spoilers) This was a good volume, we continue with Luffy rescuing Usopp from the franky family and in a great bit of payback..he, zoro, sanji, chopper fight them to gain revenger for usopp and defeat them and its so cool, the art shines there and then we have Usopp recovering, Luffy says they will have to abandom "Going merry" ship, Usopp-Luffy fight over it and in one of the greatest moments of one piece, its their friendship on the line and the battle is emotional like anything but Luffy wins. Meanwhile Iceberg is attacked and so the suspicion is Robin with some masked guy and so its Carpenters vs Luffy while he is fighting Franky (whose a cyborg) and the battle is epic. There were some good moments in the volume like usopp-luffy fight and those memories they had and Usopp wondering what too do next, Franky fighting Luffy and he is entertaining like anything and the art and colors here were just fire and some of the best ever. Oda is bringing the stakes and emotions to another level with this volume!

"Esto es lo que significa ser capitán ¿no?" ͜ಥʖ̯ಥ
Cuántas cosas pasaron en este volumen y cuánto me dolieron en lo más profundo de mi alma. Fue tanto el impacto emocional que tuve que correr a ver el episodio para sufrir un poco más y porque en cierta medida no me cabía en la cabeza que todo esto fuera real... De por sí en un inicio ya le estaba llorando al Going Merry con la sola idea de cambiarlo por otro barco, ahora con la reacción de Usopp que honestamente no esperaba... uy...
Hasta ahora ha sido el volumen que más sentimental me ha puesto porque toca temas donde en serio que me pone muy sensible como el hecho de perder y despedirte de un amigo con el que jurabas habría muchas aventuras en el futuro. Si bien Usopp nunca fue de mis favoritos, no puedo negar que le daba un toque característico a la trama y que nada de esto hubiera sido lo mismo sin él. En verdad me dolió mucho ver la pelea entre nakamas, el dolor en cada uno de los Mugiwara (sobre todo ver a Chopper llorar, dios mío), el dolor en Luffy de no sólo ya perder su primer barco, sino también a un amigo y parte elemental de su tripulación... A pesar de la acción de por medio, la tristeza y melancolía se llevaron la corona para mí. Sin duda de las partes más importantes que he leído hasta la fecha y que me ha dejado un revuelco en el corazón.
Usopp, espero te vaya bien en un futuro, no sé si algún día te volveremos a encontrar...( ㄕཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)
