Una stella in meno rispetto al volume precedente, ma questo è probabilmente il numero con più colpi di scena di tutta la serie.

One Piece, Vol. 36 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (337–346) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues the Water Seven Arc. The Straw Hats are on the run and Nico Robin is nowhere to be found. In order to determine where her allegiances lie, the Straw Hats decide to break into Galley-La's headquarters to find her. To their surprise, they are not the only ones laying siege to Galley-La – a masked group has already infiltrated the headquarters looking for the blueprints to the ancient weapon Pluton.
After finding the blueprints and discovering that they are counterfeit, the masked individuals approach the recovering Iceburg. They remove their disguises, revealing themselves as Robin and some of the workers of Galley-La. As members of the secret government organization, Cipher Pol #9, they joined Galley-La to gain Pluton for the government's use. After speaking with Iceberg, they learn that the real blueprints are with Franky, a shipwright and friend of Iceberg.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part, it is written and illustrated rather well. It gives more back story to Nico Robin, who has a rather tragic past and introduces the Cipher Pol – a series of secret agencies who do investigations, assassinations and espionage for the World Government.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 36 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

The betrayal!!! Ack!
February 16, 2024
Lots of new info revealed in this volume. It's hard to get your bearings when this happens. While waiting for the log pose to sort itself, there are some classic Oda gags and surprising reveals to keep the reader distracted.
This volume is all over the place tone-wise, as well. One Piece has always been a little "madcap," so that tracks. Overall, there's plenty of excitement in the wake of the cliffhanger.
Can't ask for much else than a feeling of wanting to dive right into the next volume.

I don't believe the Straw Hats have ever been in such a bind. A great enemy looming in the shadows, that enemy pinning its terrible crimes on the main characters, an enormous tidal wave about to strike the whole island... that's all just par the course, but now the crew itself is fracturing. Some have split up, others are betraying them outright. And she's not the only traitor around.
More subtly, there are a couple good scenes setting up Franky as well. One single panel of him leaving the bar, a determined expression on his face, was about when I figured he'd be the one joining the Straw Hats as the new shipwright. Even before the initial forerunner - Kaku - dropped out and the big reveal showed up.
Really feels like Paulie should absolutely not have said that the blueprints were fake, though. It just led them to try even harder and finally uncover the truth. Could've just let them take the fakery away and get egg on their faces.

The suspense continues up until the grand reveal, a shocking one to say the least, as allies become foes and foes into allies.

Yo recordaba esta parte como... ¿interesante? A la mierda la intriga y el interés, a Oda le encanta estropear sus propias tramas.

All these plot-twists :O

Ce tome a commencé par un combat qui ne faisait pas bouillir mon sang pour terminer sur un tel suspense que j’ai trop hâte de lire le prochain !

This vol was just full of twists and turns. The ones who want to assassinate Water 7's Mayer is CP9, a secret group who works for the government that should not exist! And indeed, Robin is working with them, despite the government having been after her. Apparently they are looking to revive the power of ancient and powerful weapon to end the pirate age. And the only person capable of doing this is Robin because she is the only one who can read the ancient history.
Is is quite exciting to see just how involved the government is in OP. Despite seeming to be ruled under one world government, it is quite clear that the government is corrupt. Thus far, this is the impression I have gotten from them.
The vol ended in a cliffhanger with Luffy breaking into the room where the CP9 are located! Will be exciting to see Robin and Luffy's confrontation!

Plot twist hit so hard that it got my jaw on the floor for the second time

I keep forgetting to log these, but this is my cocaine

This arc continues to be one of my favorites — Usopp's split from the group, Robin's "betrayal" — it adds so much depth to the group.

November 8, 2015
Holy shit this arc is just bloody brilliant with heart breaking fights between friends, betrayal, conspiracy and all the twist and turns in the world. This arc was best one so far. I love how each character evolves beautifully in their own way that isn't superficial. Feels!!!! I just hope everything turns out fine.

While it was never bad, this is the first volume where I felt One Piece was actually living up to its hype. If I hadn't already purchased all of these, I'd probably have stopped reading 30 volumes ago.

Status : still crying.
I like how it feels like a ton of storylines collided here. It doesn't feel forced and it's not confusing. It just feel really actioned packed and well plotted.

I'VE READ A LOT OF MYSTERIES BUT OMG I DIDNT SEE THE TWIST COMING!

Y ya se empiezan a revelar ciertas cositas, aparece el CP9 y conocemos a sus miembros 🤭 Rob Rucci, kaku, Califa y Blueno de momento. Van tras los planos de Plutón, una de las armas ancestrales. Han sido traspasados a través de las generaciones, Iceburg se suponía que los tenía pero en realidad fue previsor y los legó, el problema es que sus enemigos lo conocen, han estado con el 5 años y ya saben quién los tiene. Franky, el otro aprendices de Tom, quien se suponía muerto.
Ahora Luffy y Zoro irrumpieron en la habitación, el aqua laguna está por llegar, Robin está con el CP9. Usopp en la bahía arreglando a Merry. Continuemos 🤭

(Yeah, these reviews are basically just for you now, Al)
Holy shit though, I cannot believe the leap in quality the series has made these last two volumes. One Piece’s sprawling world is suddenly jumped to life with electric writing, ambitious plotting, and twists that actually land!!! Some really interesting story manoeuvres here that make the stakes feel more knotty than ever before, and I actually want to know what happens next instead of just reading out of semi-obligation!
Who knew Oda had this kind of juice???!*
*to the randos on goodreads - I’m being facetious. Obviously loads of people knew this.

Wowowowow, este tomo está muy bien! Se ha tomado con calma el inicio, pero aquí ya hay varias tramas en el aire, al mismo tiempo, interrelacionadas entre sí y que empiezan a enredarse en una sola. La tensión por Nico Robin, por Luffy, pensar en la amenaza del tifón, el Merry y su tripulante... sísísí

Comme toujours Oda nous régale MAIS peut-on m’expliquer comment Lucci et Kaku peuvent-ils être en même temps blessés devant la porte et sous leurs masques en train de menacer Pauly ? Pour moi, il y a une sacrée incohérence dans ce tome !

Finally, an arc with villains that are actually as cool as they are intimidating… the reveal was everything. I’m so intrigued and it feels like I’m reading an action packed spy novel than a sometimes comedic gag manga. 😭🖤 I just know that the next volume is going to be craaaazy.
