Join Monkey D. Luffy and his swashbuckling crew in their search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again Years, later, Luffy sets off in search of the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world... Luffy's pirates thought they were just stopping in for a quick bite...but now Luffy's been made a busboy on Baratie, the oceangoing restaurant, and it turns out some of the worst-mannered pirates on the Grand Line are just dying for a meal. Always one to look on the bright side, Luffy sets his sights on Sanji, the smart-talking, skirt-chasing assistant chef on the Baratie, as the Merry Go's new cook. But it'll take more than a vicious pirate battle and a little sweet talking from Nami to convince him to leave the Baratie and join Luffy's team. His oath to feed any and all pirates in need keeps getting in the way. The question is: what do you do when the very same pirates you just fed now want to serve you up for dinner?
Eiichiro Oda, One Piece: The Oath (ViZ, 1997) It's time to conclude the Baratie storyline-- or is it? The pirate who got himself a free meal in For Whom the Bell Tolls has turned out to be a member of Don Krieg's crew-- and Don Krieg has just returned from the Grand Line, giving Luffy some much-needed information while he continues trying to recruit a cook for his crew. Meanwhile, interesting things are going on in the chapter endpieces (the "Buggy's Crew: The Aftermath" bits that you thought were just Oda having some fun doodling) that could end up having major consequences as time goes on. One Piece is as strong as ever. ****

I can sum this up in one word: kewl. It starts out with Luffy's employment as choreboy to the Barate Oceangoing Restaurant and then the appearance of Don Krieg, leader of 50 pirate crews. He prepares to challenge "Red Shoes" Zeff for his logbook of his travels at the Grand Line, when suddenly a mysterious new character appears, the world-renowned Dracule "Hawk-eyes" Mihawk. Zoro has been waiting his entire life to defeat this man, and so he challenges him to a duel. I won't spoil it, but you have got to get yourself a copy of One Piece: The Oath. Luffy only uses two Gum-gum moves - Gum-gum rocket and giant scythe - but the swordplay is unbelievable. Zoro displays several of his best moves, Onigiri Demon Cut, Tiger Hunt, and Three Sword Style --- Secret Move Three Thousand Worlds. Make sure to pick up a coupon before you buy this manga!

Picking up from where vol. 5 left off, vol. 6 of One Piece finds the Staw Hat crew aboard the ocean restaurant Baratie, where Luffy has to work as a bus boy after injuring the head chef with a rogue cannonball. Honestly, the Baratie arc is one of my least favorites, as there's not much variety in the scenery and the battles become very dragged out. However, vol. 6 contains a host of important plot points that are essential reading. Don Krieg, the villain of the arc, is introduced. He's one of the few villains who doesn't use devil fruit powers, and instead relies on technological weaponry. The other new pirate is "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk, one of the seven most powerful pirates on the ocean. His honour duel with Zoro is the centerpiece of the volume, and further develops Zoro's motivations while just being a really cool fight. Finally, during the chaos Nami steals the Merry Go (Going Merry) and takes off, setting up the next storyline in the saga. Oh yea and Sanji, the next Straw Hat crew, is also further spotlighted. There's a lot going on here, making vol. 6 worth picking up.
