Oh Oda, how is it that after a character horribly and fatally poisons Luffy I still go Hee~ when he gets a cover page?
Also, I wasn't really paying attention the first time, mostly because I'm just used to random animals on the cover pages, but lol the giant (kind of hungry-looking?) fish right behind them while they're fishing. XP
Oh this chapter. This chapter. &hearts
Such a relief after last chapter. Thank you Oda.
*Snerk* Oh tiny!Luffy. Tiny!Luffy and his Gomu Pistol fail.
First page alone and I am already flailing and giggling. And flailing.
ACE'S REACTION. To the fail.
*dies laughing*

Ace's face: *is unimpressed by your fail*
Aw, Sabo XP So vexed by his 2 loses difference to Ace. *pets him, giggles*
(Also, yeeeessssssssssss they did spar on more friendly terms. Heeee~ &hearts)

Brb, gone to fight man-eating gators
... lol
Okay, I apologize for the image spam but... oh my god their faces! AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA *takes deep breath* ... *giggles*
Ahahaha, "You better not get eaten this time Luffy" - as

And d'aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww Luffy has his own pipe/stick/staff-thing XD
... So... life in town is worse than life in the trash mountain, which seems worse than life on Mt. Corbo...
I am beginning to understand why Garp dumped them where he did. @_@
AHAHAHA - I did not expect them to be under that cloak, but I am so amused!
And, lol, the delinquents and hoodlums recognize Ace & co (he's the ringleader, wouldn't you say?) - recognize and fear them. O_o XPPPP
... if East Blue is the "peaceful", "weak" sea... I never want to see the others @_@
Oooooooo, so - unless scanlations are wrong - Luffy was born in Fuusha. Which isn't surprising, exactly, but... what happened to his mom? Did he know his mom?
Ace's dine-and-dash routine makes so much sense now. o_o

Their complete lack of concern about gravity, it slays me XD
"I told you!!" Pfffffft XP
The Oliver Twist references strike again! *pets Sabo* Interesting that his Nice Hat is a family tradition.
LUFFY'S TREASURE CREDIT!!!!!!

AAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
I would love to see, when Luffy's gone 'round the whole Grand Line and is Pirate King and all that, for him to go back and repay his treasure credits. Because that would be too funny for words!


Oh, they're Garp's alright. XP
Their reaction to Sabo's deep dark secret is perfect XD
Interesting how Sabo's backstory - or, rather, his reaction to his parentage is weirdly parallel to Ace's. Clearly the moral of One Piece is that if you have royal blood (for a given value of royal :P) your life will suck.
(Which makes me wonder all the more how how how Luffy knew about Roger!?! How? I have a hard time seeing this Ace sharing that with anyone, even Luffy. And yet... this Ace is our smiling, smirking, dorky Ace...)
"You apologized so it's okay!! I forgive you." BWAAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
Oh Luffy. *squishes him* &hearts
Ace's tiny epiphany face was interesting. What are you thinking about Ace?
Oh Sabo :(
His dream breaks my heart. ;_;
Oh Ace. :(
So that's what all that was about - a reputation to prove he lived. T______T
And then Luffy shouts his dream but we don't hear what he says...? O_o
His dream is to be the Pirate King, right? But... why the shocked faces?
... maybe I'm too used to the Grand Line. ^^; Or to Luffy. Or maybe I'm just not good at grasping the full world-changing power of a Pirate King, and that a tiny boys declaring he'll be one is sort of out of the ordinary?
Laughing forever at Ace's O_o!face
"You... the stuff that comes out of your mouth..." BWAHAHAHA! SO TRUE XD
ACE DID STEAL DADAN'S SAKE AAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHHAITOTALLYCALLEDTHAT! XD
Luffy has two brothers. this is going to end so badly, Oda whyyyyyyyyyy ;_;
They become brothers so that, whatever comes, when they're far off and captains of their own ships, they will always have an unbreakable bond. &hearts T_T &hearts

Nobody's allowed to beat on Luffy but Ace. And Sabo. It's the Rules.
I am forever amused by Sabo's quintessential middle-childness. XP
... First Ace knocks Luffy off the bridge, now he doesn't want to let him fall off. Lol
Makino sneaking up to see Luffy... D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ;_;
And AHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA Ace's face
... it is totally the face of a little boy with a crush.

AW8EGAFTSOUDYVGLASDJKHBFGLAIWUYETFLASHDFGLASDFASDFASDGA I TOTALLY CALLED THIIIIS! (sort of)
... I'm... kind of... almost touched by the frantic searching by Dadan when they run away.
Or is it just that she's afraid of what Garp will say? ¬¬
Hee, they look so happy in their little tree house. XD
...
Poor Sabo. :(

This chapter was just...! I had the hugest smile for the entire chapter! Brotherly love is my drug of choice! <3
I love how you pointed out that Sabo is the "middle brother." Makes sense. It also touches me how novel the idea to be brothers is to each of the three. Luffy loves having people his age look after him, Sabo loves having people care about who he is rather than what he is, and Ace... Well, Ace needed it most of all! It was just wonderful (while it lasted, anyways!) and so sad to see it break with Sabo's douchebag of a father showing up!

This chapter just... slayed me XD
I was laughing and flailing and squeeing from the very first page! &hearts XD
*pets Sabo and his middle-childness*
*pets Ace and his Issues*
*squishes Luffy and his made-of-sunshineness*
... I just realized - Sabo was five years old when he ran away from home O_o
His dad sucks
I want to introduce Sabo to Nami T_T they could sail the world and make maps and write book and be awesome together.no subject

I squeed all over my journal, and then I had to go read your squee because there isn't enough squee in the world for all this adorableness!!
From the first page, it just made me SO HAPPY. We needed this, Oda, we really did. ^_^
... if East Blue is the "peaceful", "weak" sea... I never want to see the others @_@
Perhaps the sea is peaceful and weak, but this particular kingdom is pretty bad-ass? Or, uh, I don't know. I'm assuming Bluejam is really a rather small-potato pirate, but he gets cocky because he's got noble backing. :P
Oooooooo, so - unless scanlations are wrong - Luffy was born in Fuusha. Which isn't surprising, exactly, but... what happened to his mom? Did he know his mom?
It does say that Luffy was born in Fuusha! It surprised me too. Though I don't think Luffy knew his mother, because he said last chapter that Garp was the only family he had.
Ace + Dine-and-dash = OTP! I'm totally shipping this. XD
And then Luffy shouts his dream but we don't hear what he says...? O_o
It kind of looks like Odacchi wanted to save pages. ^^; We all know what he said anyway. And I think Ace's and Sabo's reactions are hilarious! Ace probably does not thing "pirate king" is a worthy goal (Renowned pirate, yes. Pirate King, no!), and Sabo is just amused by such a silly notion. Do you remember how people reacted back in the beginning of the series in East Blue when Luffy said he'd be Pirate King? That, plus the fact that Tiny Luffy is a little shrimp of a boy. XD
I want and do not want to know what happened to Sabo after this. Luffy did say that Ace was his one and only brother, and it's not like Luffy to assume that someone he loves is dead if he doesn't know for sure. So either he's dead or he... officially broke the bond somehow, which would be almost as painful. ;_;
