adventurous emotional funny fast-paced

5.0

Volume 17 follows the showdown between Wapol, Chopper and Luffy! Once again, I'm much more invested in the characters, though the fight scenes can be cool as well! It was so touching to see Luffy accepting Chopper as a friend immediately and Sanji joking about Luffy also being a 'monster' to make Chopper feel more welcome. The friendships at the heart of the story always make me so emotional 🥺 I also liked how Luffy berated Wapol for flying the pirate flag without being dedicated to actually being a pirate. We know that he's serious about his dream of becoming the Pirate King and has no patience for anyone who's not willing to fight for their dreams!

In the end, I'm so happy that Chopper is officially joining the crew! He's so adorable, but also a well-written character with his own insecurities! The goodbye with Dr. Kureha was both hilarious but also deeply touching, as despite being pretty hardened, she still has a good heart!

Luffy protecting Doc's flag and calling Chopper his friend was heartwarming. Nami scamming Luffy about her jacket had me cackling because of Luffy's reaction. So funny! 

The wanted poster of Luffy made me cackle because of his massive smile. 

Nami asks Luffy why he brought Chopper onboard and he answers because he was cool and so funny. (He can cure people❤️) And Sanji answered that Chopper could be an emergency food. 😂

I also loved that Chopper was happy❤️

Luffy's enthusiasm is out of this world, huh? 😂

I really like this book, it was good to finally see the fight scene between Luffy and Wapol, I also liked how 
In the end Chopper did end up joining the straw hat pirates, and how Dr Hiriluk's dream of the cherry blossoms did come true. 
 
Anyways I think this book was good, but I felt like it would of been better if there was a longer fight scene.
