Viz's Speed One Piece Publishing

After 6 painful years in which Viz only published 20 volumes of One Piece, Shonen Jump will begin to publish the 'Impel Down' Arc on their pages.

In order to compensate for this, Viz will begin speed publising the volumes in between. Volume 21 was released last month, whereas volumes 22 and 23 will be published in october and december respectively.

The Speed publishing begins in January 2010. In the span of 6 months, Viz will be publishing, in english, the next 30 volumes. Five per month.

Here's the complete schedule:

January 2010
Volumes 24-28

February 2010
Volumes 29-33

March 2010
Volumes 34-38

April 2010
Volumes 39-43
