Arlong Park has been my favorite arc of the series so far. Nami didn't start out as one of my favorites, but now I'd say she's in my top 3 at least in terms of the Straw Hats. Loguetown was pretty quick to get through, but I think it made for a good set up to the Grand Line.

This was such a weird little book and I mean that in the best way. I love the concept of interconnected short stories and I think the neighbourhood was a great setting for that. 

Some of my favorite stories from the collection were Fruit, The White Dove, and Baby.

I really enjoyed Zoro and Sanji's respective fights. I also think Arlong is a great villain for this early on in the series. Also, poor Momoo.
