  • The Great One Piece Journey (Part 26): Zou

    Of all the arcs in the series, this is among the shortest. Yet it manages to hit every bit as hard as the longer arcs. In certain scenes, it hits even harder! After their victory against Doflamingo, the Straw Hats, accompanied by Law, make to rendezvous with the rest of their crew on Zou, a…
