On the first volume of “The Great One Piece Readthrough” we go through the first six volumes of One Piece in two segments with hosts Zach and Ed!

First, we go through the volumes in our non-spoiler segment: “The Read Line” with special guests Stephen Paul (current translator for One Piece), Jose Argumedo (Technical Director at CNN), Bryan Newton (Director for Rick and Morty and Teen Titans Go) and Steve Yurko (co-host of The One Piece Podcast, storyboard artist on Hot Streets and artist).

Then, we look at the little hidden gems and how things have changed in our segment that includes some spoilers “The Reverie” with special guests Greg Werner (author in Shueisha’s V-Jump and author for the official One-Piece.com), Jammer (author of Dangerous Faces and former Editor-in-Chief at The One Piece Podcast) and Stephen Paul.

Volume #2: Buggy the Clown

Volume #3: Don’t Get Fooled Again

Volume #4: The Black Cat Pirates

Volume #5: For Whom the Bell Tolls

We will be giving away five copies of the brand-new One Piece Color Walk Compendium: East Blue to Skypiea! This includes material from the first three Color Walk books in a beautiful hardcover edition, translated by our very own Stephen Paul.

What makes it special to you? Don’t forget to tag @OnePiecePodcast and @VIZMedia! We will choose one winner each week for five weeks — the winners will be announced on Twitter and on the show every Friday.
