Celebrating the first 50 One Piece Moments!! (Part 1/2)

It's been almost a year since I started this blog, and though my following is small compared to my main blog, I'm incredibly proud of my creations and whatever love they've received. It's a fun little project where the Toei anime, original manga, English dub, Shueisha manga colorization, and Viz translations can all be appreciated simultaneously.

Most colored volumes don't have fan releases that include official translations and redraws, so most of the panels seen here I had to redraw myself. Even though my posts [usually] only consist of one panel, I try to redraw SFX for the full page if I feel it won't consume too much of my time, so I'm posting full pages here where applicable.

One Piece — "Raizo is... alive and well!!!"

From Volume 81 - Chapter 816 / Season 12 Episode 767. After a very long time, Kin'emon and Kanjuro have finally made it up the elephant's legs, and wish to converse with the Minks. The Straw Hats desperately try to warn them of the context they just learned, and how samurai are taboo. But perhaps it seems Kin'emon knows more about Zou's story than the pirates do!!

One Piece — "As of this moment, I quit the Big Mom Pirates!!!"

From Volume 86 - Chapter 863 / Season 13 Episode 833. During the disruption of Sanji and Pudding's wedding, Luffy is nearly immobilized by the vicious "Dogtooth" Katakuri. Jimbei uses water to help him escape the mochi trap, making it publically clear to every Big Mom Pirate present that his alliance is forfeit. In a situation where most traitors would fight or runaway, Jimbei instead makes a most formal farewell.

One Piece — "So long!!"

From Volume 87 - Chapter 877 / Season 13 Episode 849. After the assassination attempt on Big Mom failed, the Straw Hats and his allies make a run for it. But making it out to see is damn near impossible with Perospero and his candy powers! Fortunately for them, Pedro is ready to make a sacrifice for the team. In fact, he had been prepared to make this sacrifice since entering the island. As much as it pains Carrot, Pedro doesn't have a lot of time left after the deals he made. Rather than futily attempt to live a long life, he's going to propel Straw Hat Luffy into the Dawn of the New World!!!
