Manga Smart + One Piece: The Dressrosa Arc

The Dressrosa Arc is the twenty-seventh story arc in the series and the second in the Pirate Alliance Saga of One Piece, continuing from the Punk Hazard Arc. The Straw Hats and Trafalgar Law, having formed an alliance, travel with Kin'emon to Dressrosa as part of their plan. Dressrosa is the second island the Straw Hats encounter in the New World and is ruled by the Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo.

A banquet then began on the Yonta Maria to celebrate the formation of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. As the party went on, it was foreshadowed that the Straw Hat Grand Fleet will be responsible for a pivotal event that will happen in the future. On Dressrosa, CP-0 investigated the palace but found no trace of the smuggled weapons. King Riku introduced the dwarves to the people as he prepared for the Reverie coming up soon.

The people began building statues of Luffy, Usopp, and Kyros as a new peaceful age began on Dressrosa. The Marines sailed away, and Tsuru talked with Doflamingo in the brig. Doflamingo held a grudge against Fujitora for not helping him, but was happy knowing that the world would soon be plunged into chaos as several parties fought to be on top. Nearby, a pirate named Jack prepared to rescue Doflamingo. The Straw Hat Pirates were shocked to see Bartolomeo's ship, the Going Luffy-senpai which had a Luffy masthead. As they embarked to Zou, Bartolomeo showed the Straw Hats their new bounties. For some reason, however, Sanji was only wanted alive.

What Makes One Piece So Different From Naruto And Bleach?

Out of the big three anime's, One Piece has kept its momentum going since its first episode. Naruto, on the other hand, had perhaps one of the greatest runs from any anime but it failed to end well and felt a bit too rushed. Bleach? It also started off amazingly, but the story transitioned so badly after the first half, that the anime was canceled prematurely.

One culprit for this could be the fact that it was obvious the author had given up on the show. Tite Kubo personally said that he was no longer interested in writing Bleach and wanted to move on as quickly as possible. This reflected in the manga and anime as well as the show tumbled and the story ceased to make sense anymore. Masashi Kishimoto also said that he no longer wanted to write Naruto. The same happened for that show and it also rushed toward the end.

Eiichiro Oda, however, loves writing One Piece and is so devoted to it that he has already envisioned what the ending will be like. Even 700 anime episodes and almost 800 manga chapters in, it doesn't seem like he's in any rush to put the show in its coffin. For that reason, the show remains one of the most exciting manga and anime in the industry and remains as number one in Japan. Since 1997, One Piece has sold approximately 320 million copies. Coming second is Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, with 230 million.

Not to say that Kishimoto and Kubo were not committed to their stories, but Oda has portrayed exactly what it is to devote your life to your craft and it has translated well with One Piece.

For example, character development in Naruto and Bleach has been a problem and many of the series' most influential characters were forgotten for the sake of story progression. Oda, on the other hand, has involved most, if not all, the characters in One Piece in the progression of the story. One Piece has become a paragon of character development done the right way.

Because of character development, fans feel more involved with the story. Thanks to the story's length and balance, it also feels as if you have been alongside the Strawhats in their quest for One Piece.

What do you guys think makes One Piece different from the other big three?

How One Piece will end?

Eiichiro Oda has spilled the beans and revealed the One Piece ending to a child suffering from Cancer. Japan's version of the Make-A-Wish foundation made another dream come true as a child suffering from Cancer has allegedly asked for One Piece's creator, Eiichiro Oda to tell him the ending to one piece. Hinati Fujinami and his family was devastated when doctors told them that Hinati Fujinami has lung cancer.

After months of therapy, Make-A-Wish Japan has allegedly tried to ease the pain of the child by asking him, what is his wish that he would like to be fulfilled.

Hinati Fujinami reportedly said that he would want to hear how his favorite manga, One Piece, ends. Eiichiro Oda was glad to tell the kid how One Piece ends and that he was holding back his tears upon seeing the condition of Hinati Fujinami.

While Oda was fine with Hinati Fujinami learning about the One Piece ending, Oda requested to talk to the child alone so that details about the One Piece manga ending wouldn't be leaked while he jokingly pleaded to Hinati to not reveal it to the press. Hinati Fujinami was reportedly seen smiling but crying at the same time as he told the people that One Piece is "beautiful".
