One Piece 822 Review: Reverie

One Piece, Chapter 822: Descending the Elephant


Overall a mostly mellow chapter. Not a lot really happened, and we just get a recovery from the whole Zunisha-fucks-Jack-up thing. Team Chopper heals Zunisha, and we get them splitting up proper. We get a 'oh that Luffy, what a crazy dude' moment when he hops off the giant elephant-island grabbing everyone that's going to go with him. Brook and company are just freaking out, Pedro (who tags along, and judging from last chapter's cover page Carrot probably is joining them as well) just has this hilarious expression of 'eh wait what' on his face, whereas Team Dressrosa isn't even reacting at all and are just 'yeah bye bye' as if jumping off a mountain-sized elephant is everyday work.

Momonosuke's going to stay behind with the Minks while his samurai troops go with Team Zoro and Team Law to Wanokuni. We get some confirmation regarding Pekoms' Kame Kame no Mi, which is what everyone guessed -- also his shell is apparently as hard as diamond. There's... something... odd about him that makes Pedro want to tag along to keep him in control. It's really not too far off to think that Pekoms and Pedro are related in some way -- they're both cats and their names start with Pe. And since Pekoms, like, joins the Big Mom pirates, of course he's going to be not entirely savoury of a character.

What else is there? Oh, Vivi shows up at the end! It's been like half the series' worth of chapters since Vivi last made a non-cameo appearance. Yay for the Reverie! Nami gets a new upgraded dildostaff weather sorcery climatact thing.

Overall a slow, but still relatively fun little chapter. Reviews for other manga may be a little late.
