Just some brief trivia I found:

The Oricon survey firm reports that the 57th volume of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece pirate manga has sold 2.282 million copies as of May 9 — thus making it the #1 best-selling book since Oricon began posting its book ranking charts in 2008. The volume shipped 10 weeks ago on March 4. The previous record-holder, the 53rd volume from the same manga series, sold 2.280 million copies after 61 weeks.
Shueisha published 3 million copies of the 57th volume in the largest first-printing run ever for any book in Japan, surpassing the 2.9 million copies of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The 57th volume sold 1.69 million copies in its first week of sales alone. By the second week, it also became the fastest manga volume to sell 2 million copies on Oricon's charts.

Im travelling South East Asia in a month's time. When i hit Japan i will definitely be buying that volume book. Probably one of my favourite shounen arcs of all time. Hopefully 58 will also be released soon.

Up till now I thought that Sabo wouldve died, but now it could be that he is alive and living the live of a noble.
Maybe we will see him in normal time again.
But only maybe, the past isnt fully done ^^

Nah i cant see him being dead. I think there could be more back story to come at some point either that or maybe he wil in fact appear later on. If he is dead ll be annoyed.

I rerally do like the fac tthat in the face of his impronsment and evtual death he is still smiling for what Luffy has done and his acknowldgement of luffy
But i dont really like Luffy as a character so this chapter 'present day' didnt do much for me, but this chapter has made me like and admire Jinbei even more
He was just awesome and honest

YES!
Now the crew is finally back, I wonder if Jinbei will be tagging along now for the rest of the manga as part of the crew, by the looks of it, I think he might.
I also wonder whats gonna happen to Boa Hancock.
Also, shouldn't Luffy bounty raise sky-high now? He had a 300,000,000 belly which was the third higuest, after Kid, and then that dude who can control people, the Shishibukai with a 330,000,000 bounty. I will assume he will now have the higuest bounty in the series taking into account he broke into inpel, then broke out, reveled aganist the marines and ecaped....

I wonde what Luffy did now that Chopper is so out of it. Maybe he let himself get caught or something. Or he officially rebells now against the Marine and World Government. Maybe he joined his father.
There are a lot of maybes, hope it clears himself. But I think that will only happen after we saw everyone of the crew leaving their island for shabody.

I have to say i am a little dissappointed with Usopp and chopper i really thought that they would have learn, or found a way to get to the next stage of a power-up considering everything that happened. I really thought, that them going to the islands was a way to help them train for the enemies to come. i can only imagine what the dark kings plan for luffy was. can't wait for the crew to come together.

Yeah but do you honestly think they would show us any sort of power up in the last few couple of pages. I honestly think if thye have grown stronger we wont see until they all get together and take on the next big enemy. Since i think it would be a tad anti climactic if we saw it now

Actually i think you are correct. i just wish Oda would at lease give us some hints. i don't mix anime and manga together for a lot of reasons, but i did recently watch one episode where nami decided to stay on the weather island after seeing some of it inventions in partical use. but i guess i just really want to see them get back and start making pairates both old and new come respect the name "The Straw Hat Crew".

Now this chapter was nice. Since it was great to see everyone so far (except Sanji and Nami, guess they will be next chapter, i dont watch the anime so i havnt got a clue what those epsidoes that showed each of the crew on their respect island were) and what they have been up to.
QUOTE (Repede @ Jul 16 2010, 11:08 AM) What episode number are the ones where they show how the crew is doing?
I dont know, since i dont watch the eps, all i know is that the anime not long ago had a few eps where it showed the Straw Hats on thier respective islands apparently. If they just used the single pages at the begiging of each chapter for an ep i dont know, but thats what i was told.
