| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- This actually looks pretty good. I was expecting something a lot more childish, but I think I'll enjoy this. Need to read more. |
 |
| Yeah I know exactly what you mean, I thought it was going to be childish, but its pretty good.LOL That was a great start to a Shonen adventure. If the anime would have started like this I would have been on board from the beginning. |
 |
| The start was good also it explained why luffy had that scar on his face. |
 |
| This is Childish IMO mabe i've been in japan to long.. Though it seems like a good story,first time i'm reading this, i love Shonen manga and this seems like a typical one. |
 |
| Started reading One Piece since I'm uptodate with the anime.. This chapter really explains how Luffy got his scar, I like it. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| so thats how he got the scar.. good thing i started to read the manga! :) |
   |
| I loved this first chapter. Which says a lot because when One Piece first came on TV in America, I thought it was a joke. I'm glad that I was wrong. Usually animes screw up the manga, but yea I agree. If the anime had started off like this, I SO would've been hooked on to it. |
 |
| Very good beginning and, I hate to say it, but I agree that this is a much better starting point than the anime. Of course, the anime later does this back story anyway..so it isn't quite that big a deal. I don't remember the scene where Luffy cuts himself though... |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| one of the best mangas beginning I ever seen =D |
 |
| 1st re-read. This is going to be quite good. One of the best manga series of all time, if you ask me. |
| Much better than in the anime... I think |
 |
| I don't know why the people around him aren't trying harder to stop him from becoming a pirate. He's basically saying "I want to rape, murder and rob my way through life! :D" and the only one that seems to have a problem with it is the mayor. But I suppose he'll just be a pirate in name and just rob other pirates or do odd jobs or something, he wouldn't be the hero if he were a real pirate. |
| >I'm going to be the Pirate King! Finally decided to start One Piece and so far, it's pretty neat. Kinda new to the franchise but I'm expecting a lot from this. Good start so far. |
 |
| Ahhh this chapter was brilliant! I'm catching up to the anime but I've decide to read the manga too! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
SpiritGT said: Hhaha, me too.Ahhh this chapter was brilliant! I'm catching up to the anime but I've decide to read the manga too! It will be a long long journey till we catch up :) Wish you luck fellow! :) And I too think the beginning of the manga was superior to the beginning of the anime, but I think both were amazing and amusing above all :) |
 |
| Beautiful first chapter, clear and nice draw, with a plot que hooks up!!!! Luffy when was a children, was a boy horrifying!!! |
Mugi-kowka said: Erm... Hello, I came from the future, One piece is currently at chapter 851, I will start re-reading the manga just came to see ppls' opinions of it in the past lol I too am from the future, but I'm mostly reading this to refresh myself since it's been a long ass time since I last watched the anime. |

Nope that scene was never shown in the anime. its interesting to note that even the scar under luffy's right eye even has meaning in the story. |

It's a shame that it wasn't adapted, I mean I get that Toei probably didn't like the idea of showing a kid stabbing himself in the face on a kid friendly show but still it's a fairly important detail. |

Ohh, I absolutely loved that little scene in manga, says a lot about Luffy and his determination. Remembering being surprised that it wasn't adapted when I was rewatching first ep of OP searching for this :< Shame on them! |
  |
| And the best manga of all time begins! Stupid bandits, they shouldn't mess with Shanks. |
 |
| Have been caught up with the anime for about a year now and decided since everyone talks so much better about the manga of One Piece rather than the anime I decided to buy the first box set and I am ready to set off on this adventure again! This time in book form XD |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Luffy is a strong boy, he's now older, and will do great. It's so interesting how will he do to find friends for his crew, create a flag and work with the terrible weakness of a pirate: unable to swim. The punch for the ocean monster was so rude lol. [100/100] |
 |
| reminds me of HxH, great opening |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| This is one of the greatest introduction chapters. Just one of the examples of why do we love origin stories. Great origin, magnificent art and an upcoming adventure that will probably be as great as the origin itself. I'm not too too excited but since it's a journey story, it will probably be good. By the way, the way mangaka introduced characters just amazed me. I didn't see any panel design or any introduction like that. |
 |
| Start of my 2021 journey to read all of One Piece. Let's go! |

| Might as well start this considering I can choose any manga for shit. Let the journey begin. ---- Good chapter. Luffy will for sure be on a level higher than Shanks. But we all start small. |

| One Piece fans, who are anime-onlies, are gravely missing out T-T My boy gonna go do big things, let us await the stir he is gonna cause in Wano |
 |
| Starting to read One piece now that I'm caught upto anime So much nostalgia from this chapter and the hat scene still hits hard |

| Finally starting the manga. Only begun reading manga this year so I wanted to get the gist of it. It's time to start this masterpiece. Watched the first arc back in 2011 so this brings me emotional vibes.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Greatest first chapter ever. |
 |
| Good first chapter. Introduces Luffy, Shanks (his inspiration), Shank's first hand man and Makino the Tavern Proprieter. |
 |
| Finally started reading this after my sister bought the first volume in Japanese. Wonderful first chapter to the start of a great series. Luffy learning what is to be a true pirate. Seeing Shanks risk his arm for the new generation of pirates. The little Easter egg here and there from watching the anime is going to make this an interesting read. |
 |
| "I'm going to become......the King of the Pirates!!!" ~ Luffy I finally decided to start reading One Piece!!!!! And I'm so excited to see how the story goes!!! This first chapter was a pretty good start!!! And with that Luffy begins his journey!!!! It's gonna be one heck of a long ride!!! The manga's a 1000 chapters ahead so I'll try my best to catch up asap!!!! |
| Now that i'm caught up with the manga, i'm seeing why there are people rating the manga more highly than the anime itself. My journey begins yet again ! Even though the last time I read One Piece was about more than 10 years ago from 7 volumes that I used to own. Also i'm surprised there aren't much comments here. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |

But read it at your own pace, the manga still has yet many more years to publish new chapters. |

| Damn, this is pretty good and has a much better start than the anime. The anime felt kinda out of place and sudden |
 โ โโโโโ โฃ โโโโโ โ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." โ โโโโโ โฃ โโโโโ โ |
| A good start to the series. I don't get WHY he's so concerned about being brave but his motivations in regards to being a pirate at least are clear. |
 |
| EPIC MOUNTAIN BANDIT |
 |
| So when you become stretchy you cannot swim? And swimming is ideal for pirates to know how to do. Hm. Interesting . Wow this isn't straight garb. I can't believe I'm saying this but I cannot put it down and I swore to hate OP for life jus bc I didn't want to be a bandwagoner  |
