A bit of a lull after the last arc, but still funny.

**reread Nov 2024 - Davy Back Fight is such a weird tone shift, I think the manga version is much better than the anime, but it still feels weird and doesn't quite work for me. Reducing stars to 3. **

Davy Back Fight, a welcome distraction from some of the more serious plots that have been happening.

The Davy Back Fight is MUCH shorter then in the anime, which goes on for 20 some episodes, but is only a volume in the manga. This makes it more enjoyable.

This volume is all Davy Back Fight, which is essentially canon filler. Although it's not horrible, I struggled to stay engaged during the chapters. The best part was Sanji and Zoro during the Groggy Ball Fight (and Robin's smiles!!).
