So…I just read chapter 513 again, and man was that a good chapter!! Also, I feel this chapter was a good start to a new volume as well, as well as just a continuation after last chapter. Of course it was not as action packed or suspenseful, but I cannot expect every chapter to be so. I mean I know what happened last chapter, the Mugiwara's tasted "annihilation" and then got split up. I know that Rayleigh was able to get away. I know the Thousand Sunny is safe in Duval's hands. I know Camie and Hachi are with Shacky and appear to be ok. I know the crew got dispersed. I know the WG is/will be fighting Whitebeard. So what does that leave me with but, "Where is the crew, and what will become of them?"
Oda takes the scene to our main character, the Captain of the Pirate crew, and proceeds to tell us where he is and what he will do. Adventure ensues.
idk why I am saying this really, outside wanting to say I really like 513 again.
