A review by ashlightgrayson
One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro Oda

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

I have had multiple friends try to convince me for years to try and read One Piece, and I finally caved. Luffy is a typical cinnamon roll main character. I think the world is very interesting with both pirates and magic. Luffy accidentally eats a devil fruit at the beginning of the story which gives him the power to stretch his limbs like Mr. Fantastic (the side effect being that he is unable to swim now). Luffy has a very welcoming found family of sorts and dreams of being a pirate. The adults around him are very protective despite some of them having less than savory ways of making a living. This made for a very nice introduction to a lot of the characters as well as Luffy and the world. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey forward. Nothing like a future pirate that can't swim to get you interested.
