My favorite parts of One Piece is when it dives deeper into the world building, and it was no different in this volume. It was interesting to meet some of the other Warlords, the Blackbeard Pirates, the World Government, and even a glimpse of Shanks (I'm intrigued at the hints that everyone seems to be very familiar with Shanks and vice versa). Now that we've gotten into the Sky Islands, I'm interested to see how that storyline plays out, especially with the added aspect of the social commentary.
