Manga: No New Chapter This Week (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
Miss Goldenweek has her Colors Trap set on this week! Buy Viz's One Piece to save yourselves!

Yes its that time of the year in Japan where no new manga comes out, but heck everyone deserves a break. We've at least got our chocolate Easter Eggs to compensate for that right? Anyway imma recap whats been happening in the One Piece manga recently, if you don't wanna be spoiled (as if the big bold words at the beginning wasn't enough for you) turn back now.


We've returned to flashbacking as Jinbei recalls to the Straw Hats on how all of these events involving Hodi and the opression between humans and fishmen. Around 15 years ago, Fishman Island was ruled by King Neptune (like today) and his then alive wife Queen Otohime, whom tried to make the fish people and the humans understand and get along with each other even if they weren't all good. We learn that Jinbei used to be a Royal Guard in the Ryuuguu Kingdom, Arlong was still a jerk even when he was younger and Fisher Tiger was a great adventurer who many people admired. Eventually Fisher Tiger attacked the Holy Land of Marejois and freed the slaves (most notably Boa Hancock and her sisters). He gathered his friends (including Arlong and Jinbei) and together they formed the Sun Pirates and marking each member and ex-slave with a sun to symbolize freedom. They were disgusted with the Marines as they didn't oppose the Celestrial Dragons and their treatment of fish people. This conflicts with Otohime's plans for peace as everyone agrees with Fisher Tiger as they believe all humans deserve it. However, despite his rage against the Marines he doesn't want to kill them as that would be stooping to their level which brings some of the crew by suprise. Eventually a human girl named Koala (who was one of the slaves Tiger freed) needs to go home to another island. While some of the others beat her around simply because she is a human. But because shes been a slave most of her life she doesn't act normal until Tiger snaps her out of it by branding her with the Sun and telling her not to cry.

I think what we may see next...is a mutiny. After all, Arlong and the others (minus Jinbei) don't seem to understand Tiger's methods by not killing. Or at the very least, the crew will run wild without him. As for Otohime, her plans of peace are somehow going to be connected. I just know it. That was short I know but please stay tuned next week for the next chapter. To cap all of this of....here is Oda's (hot) wife (at the request of Mikey of course XD) See ya! :D
