Chapters 10 & 11

Chapter 10: What Happened at the Bar
This issue starts right were the last one left off with Buggy's crew rejoicing over the return of their Grand Line map. Nami plans to  get all of the pirates to pass out drunk before stealing everything they own. This works out quite well until Buggy orders her to kill Luffy with a cannon. Nami being a good person can't bring herself to do it and tries to change the subject. Buggy reiterates his orders and Nami is forced to fight his crew. As Nami fights the fuse to the cannon has been lit and it appears as if Luffy might die. Just before the cannon fires Nami puts out the fuse and is attacked from behind by a group of pirates and it looks as if all is lost. Zoro appears instantly defeating four pirates with his swords still sheathed. Zoro shows his real skill when he cuts captain Buggy into four pieces with a single attack. Nami and Luffy are amazed at how easily Buggy is defeated and Buggy's men begin to laugh foreshadowing the peculiarity of the coming battle. My favorite part of this issue was seeing Zoro's true power because this is the last time in the first 151 issues that he fights uninhibited. Zoro is an amazing character and probably my favorite, all though Luffy does have his moments. Anyway this issue was enjoyable if for no other reason than that Luffy was hilarious when he thought he was gonna die and Zoro is a total bad ass.

Chapter 11: Flee
This issue is in all reality a good issue but I am biased against it because it begins with Buggy's hand stabbing Zoro though the side with a knife. Now I know that may not seem like a big deal but this is the longest lasting wound in the history of the world. I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself heat but this wound wont heal for at least 139 issues and it also keeps him from fighting at his full strength for that entire time. Anyway back to the issue we are on. Buggy reconnects the four pieces of his body and explains that he ate the bara bara fruit allowing him to separate or recombined any part of parts of his body that he chooses and to control the separated parts individually. After hearing this Luffy exclaims, "A sectioned man? This guys a monster" ironically Luffy being a rubber man also makes him a monster. Luffy resolves to defeat Buggy a statement which Buggy laughs at. Luffy tells Zoro to run and as if its some sort of code Zoro runs to Buggy's Cannon and aims it at Buggy himself. They fire the cannon and then Zoro, Nami, and Luffy escape, Zoro carrying Luffy's cage. Once again the injured Zoro shows once again how bad ass he is when the pirates exclaim that it took five people to drag the cage he just carried off. Luffy's crew hides on a roof and Buggy declares war on Luffy to end the issue.
