ONE PIECE (Vol. 03) Don't Get Fooled Again
So this volume properly starts the fight between Luffy and Buggy. Zoro has beaten Cabaji in a pretty awesome fight and has collapsed to regain his strength right after, and Nami is in the background gawking in amazement at the fights going on. Oh, and the mayor is still knocked out, while Buggy's crew pretend to be so they don't have to do anything. The fight between Buggy and Luffy takes about half of the volume, mainly due to them constantly using their Devil Fruit powers. Buggy uses his more than Luffy and does, and I'm glad, because I really liked the abilities he showed off. He feels like a character that should be in a fighting game. My favourite part of the fight would probably be nearing the end when Nami actually decides to lend a hand and we get to see Buggy completely separate his body only for that to backfire on him. Also, maybe it's the way it was drawn, but I have no real idea how the Gum Gum Bazooka is supposed to work. Otherwise, the fight was pretty fun. After Buggy's defeat the crew head out and land on an island in a filler chapter. As per the usual filler, nothing really happens, and nothing's lost nor gained.
The second half of the volume has the crew entering another town, but not before introducing a character named Usopp. Back in the day I said that Usopp as my favorite character... and this chapter reminded me exactly why. Usopp is fucking awesome. From his hilarious lies and tall tales, the instant chemistry he has with he other characters to his pride in being the son of a pirate, Usopp is just such likeable asshole. As far as the story goes, it looks like its going to end up as a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" scenario, and the villain actually looks pretty interesting, as well the character Django that's working for him, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Yea, that's what I'm doin'. On the note of this, I'm buying these digitally off of Google Play and I've noticed for (but forgot to mention) that Zoro's name is translated as Zolo. Is that going to be altered in future volumes?

the best way to read One Piece is via volumes... seeing as the pacing is a little off for the series to fully enjoy it week by week
Plus you get beautiful volume covers
