One Piece, Vol. 38: Rocketman!! by Eiichiro Oda

4.0

---

 I felt confused at the beginning of this volume. There were some things that I felt were missed/not mentioned in the last volume that were assumed we knew as readers towards the beginning of this volume. Thus it made it a little more confusing for me for a minute. I even checked the previous volume, this stuff isn't included in the previous volume. However, getting further into the volume, this is explained/clarified. It just felt some of the information towards the beginning was a little misleading. Anyway, things really picked up in this volume. What a gut wrenching volume. This was the perfect example of giving background that as a reader I am emotionally attached to, so it feels more relevant. At the same time, it didn’t take up the entire volume, so I still felt we got the progression of the story. An improvement upon the previous volume.
