That was mostly comedic hijinks (and Luffy's fault) though, when he fought back at all he had no problem holding Smoker off.

If you ask me, Croc did things much more impressive in the war arc.

Yea, he was pretty awesome there.

ok, sorry, i saw this and just had to share it, i don't know why, but i just couldn't stop laughing

Ace called that fight with Smoker off because he knew his shit was gonna get kicked in otherwise. Truth.

"Look Smoker, I don't want to get my ass kicked in front of my little bro, I would be ashamed for the rest of my days"

"Eh, why not. You're so weak you'll probably get taken down by the next Logia you bump into."

Good one 😆

I gotta agree. Ace's show much more physical skill, and he's done more stuff with his powers. Smoker didn't show anything all that special in their confrontation, just that smoke and fire block each other well.

I actually BOUGHT op volume 53 (the one where Kizaru fights the supernovas) today, i had no intention of buying it, but the chick who worked there was so hot (and goth).

5 more days! IT IS SO CLOSE! why am I this excited? its just one chapter

The chapter of awesome.

oh yeah 😱 I forgot

Next chapter: Nothing but Garp sipping tea.

Though come to think of it, Oda's never really been one to troll the readers.

Sengoku and Garp talking about the old times during a whole chapter. I think it has potential.

It's funny how the next four combined don't quite add up to OP 🙂

Bleach has fallen from it's days of being neck-and-neck with Naruto, and I like it that Fairy Tail's really taken off big.

wow, one piece is dominating....how is it that it took me this long to get into the series?

Probably because it's not as popular in the US. People turned off by the apparent cartoonishness I guess.

I'll admit it was the third of the trio I got into.

Well, to be fair, OP is that much better. Maybe it wasnt well known as a market issue, you know it's hard to make toys that can do gomu gomu no pistol!

damn, I've always thought OP sold more than both Naruto and Bleach combined, but to exceed the four mangas below it is just wow...

it's not even the big 3 anymore, it's just OP on one side, and all the rest on the other...

and lulz at Bleach...
