Sanji and the "crap-geezer",
By
This review is from: One Piece, Vol. 7: The Crap-Geezer (Paperback)
Another one of Oda's wonderful manga. We get the back story of our ladies man, Sanji. The battle with Don Kreig continues and it doesn't look good when he uses a poisen gas bomb.
It's brawn against guns in One Piece volume 7.

A lack of food and a lot of blabbing,
By Simon (Brampton, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Piece, Vol. 7: The Crap-Geezer (Paperback)
One Piece vol. 7 continues the Don Krieg story arc started in vol. 5. This volume is notable for its revelation of Sanji's backstory, and why being a cook and not wasting food is so important to him. Without spoiling too much, I'll say this: if you've only seen the anime version (4Kids butchering or Japanese original), be prepared for something much more shocking. This isn't a rehash of Luffy's origin as depicted in the anime.
Unfortunately, the framing for this backstory is rather awkwardly stuffed into the middle of a fight scene, which is my main problem with the Don Krieg arc: talking. Characters stand around making statements about their dreams and powers before actually doing anything. Shonen action titles all suffer a bit from this, and its very noticible here. It's a little easier to swallow in graphic novel format; I can't imagine slogging through this on a monthly basis during the original magazine publication. The volume is mostly three stars, but the inclusion of Sanji's backstory bumps it up to four. Keep on reading, the arc ends next volume.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Series slips a bit with this one,
By
This review is from: One Piece, Vol. 7: The Crap-Geezer (Paperback)
Eiichiro Oda, One Piece: The Crap-Geezer (ViZ, 1998)
The Battle of the Baratie continues, with Luffy and the cooks facing off against Don Krieg and his band. We get some background on the relationship between Sanji and Zeff, but the majority of the volume is one big punch-up, reminiscent of Yuyu Hakusho's Dark Tournament story arc at times. A good bit of fun, this, though I'd have liked to see a touch more plot advancement. ***
