I could go on for a long while about how much I love this manga, so I'll try to cut it down to a few short paragraphs.

First, there's the story. oh my god is it amazing. The way the plot is written and presented to the reader is as good as it can get, the amazing highpoints in the story are almost unmatched when compared to other shonen manga and you can tell through the writing just how much time was put into the sagas and how the arcs seemlessly transition into eachother.

Secondly, the characters, the way they are written by (G)Oda is absolutely astounding, the way the characters converse with one another gives off a real feeling of a group of real friends. Every character not only has their own ideals and dreams, but them joining the crew gives a natural way of them achieving their goals in life and gives a good reason of why they are on the crew. With every character having an arc to show them in the stagelight and to give a good idea of their traits and personality.

The shortest thing to comment on, the art. Oda has a very expressive style with his work that gives all of his characters a chance to come to life on the page they are on. Not only that, but the way that the biggest moments are placed over unbelievably detailed double-page spreads that allow his art to tell the story without having to say anything.

Finally, my overall enjoyment. i was reading this on the official Viz app so I was limited to 100 chapters per day, and i wish i wasn't, I would wake up and read until I finished 100, and that wasn't enough. I remember reading through them all and that not being enough, only wanting to see what happens in the next chapter. I enjoyed it so much I began to empathise with the situation the characters were in.

Overall, an easy 10/10 and the best piece of fiction I have ever consumed.
