The fighting felt more coherent in this volume, though there were still parts that felt ancillary. I liked a lot of the development we got for Nico Robin. She is starting to feel like a fully fleshed out character that could have a place on the crew. I'm still not feeling super connected to the plot of Skypiea yet, though some of the exposition we got in this volume is interesting. It feels like Oda is putting less focus on individual characters and I tend to rely on them to anchor myself into a story with such a large cast.
