This was just a gripping volume. The tension was high and yet, Sanji  and Zoro were the ones that shone most during their respective fights, with Sanji it was his heartbreaking battle with both his opponent and his bloodline and Zoro with his declaration.

This volume has some great moments though this arc is getting to a point where there is so much going on that at times things feel like they are dragging. Toward the end of this volume, things really pick up and we get some important information about Zorro's backstory. The end of this volume also starts to see some battles finish and we're ramping up to the ultimate battle of this arc.

It's funny because in the previous volume, there were some shenanigans involving bizarre dinosaur biology and thanks to them being extinct in our world, THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HOW TRICERATOPSES WORKED!
But now, with Queen REALLY blurring the lines of what a brachiosaurus could do vs his own cybernetic enhancements, I'm guessing that reality has to set back in and bizarre dinosaur biology really is just too fantastic for our puny mortal brains.
Also, big things involving Sanji and Zoro as well as their opponents. Arguably less big things for Momonosuke, but anybody getting bravery in this series is worth talking about
