One Piece, Vol. 2: Buggy the Clown Paperback – December 16, 2003

I LOVE IT! 5 Stars!!!!!

I am happy to report that I had a much easier time reading this the way you're supposed to than I did last time.Plot:I really enjoyed this plot and remember liking it in the anime, too. It's been so long since I've seen the beginning of the anime that I don't remember how closely it follows the manga, but it seems to be close. I adore the side story of Chouchou the most but I also like the addition of Nami.Setting:The overall setting of One Piece, when piracy is in it's golden age, is always fun. Best part in this one is the Pet Food Store that Chouchou guards.Characters:Luffy is just as funny as in the last one.Getting used to calling Zorro "Zolo" but I loved his attitude in this one. "Oh, I have a bad wound, I'll just sleep and it will be better soon. Oh, I'm just going to cut myself to give you a handicap in this fight."Nami is one of my favorites and I love her mischievous attitude. I also like that she has issues with pirates due to her past but is seeing how different Luffy and Zolo are.I admire the mayor for trying to defend his town and also for taking care of Chouchou.Buggy was a funny, dramatic villain.And of course, I adore Chouchou, though the fact he no longer has an owner makes me sad.Relationships:I liked seeing Luffy and Nami interact, though it mostly went like this:Luffy: Join my pirate crew!Nami: You're a pirate? I HATE PIRATES!Luffy: C'mon! There will be treasure!Nami: $$$$$ Well maybe I'll help...but I'm not a pirate!Writing/Voice:Overall enjoyable lines, a few made me a chuckle. I really like the one where the mayor says he'll buy pet food to eat and the pet food owner makes a joke about him looking like a dog.Ending:Much of a "to be continued" than before, but felt it ended well.Overall, I loved it. The story and characters are interesting, there's funny lines, and some of the art is amazing. I especially like the chapter art because it's creative.

I love this manga

Awesome book it was very interesting and exiting to see zolo in action and he used the onigire style on the circus guy

I quite enjoyed this second “book” of this series. As Luffy is still working on getting his crew his is imprisoned and has to face Captain Buggy and his crew. Buggy has also eaten of a devil fruit so he is just as special as Luffy himself. We also see Zolo fight a bit more and now I am curious as to how many Devil Fruits there are. I quite enjoyed the digital comic of this, it was easy to follow and easy to bring with me anywhere. Can’t wait to read more of his series.

He's satisfied.

The Rubberman continues to destroy homes, attempt to be pirate, make friends, and ruin top pirate's good days. Buggy is laughable fruit user and I can't say I wasn't expect a circus pirate group. With Oda I'm noticing you can never be sure what's coming or what will be in his comics. There are no boundaries and his characters make you feel like they're real people without being pretentious or overbearing. Art work is clean, dependable, and detailed. I really admire his ability to give each character their own look. Even the ones that don't really matter. Everyone matter as One Piece barrels forward and I look forward to more!

This is an amazing book that really adds on to the sequel and I can't wait to read the e third book
