This volume has some great moments though this arc is getting to a point where there is so much going on that at times things feel like they are dragging. Toward the end of this volume, things really pick up and we get some important information about Zorro's backstory. The end of this volume also starts to see some battles finish and we're ramping up to the ultimate battle of this arc.

It's funny because in the previous volume, there were some shenanigans involving bizarre dinosaur biology and thanks to them being extinct in our world, THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HOW TRICERATOPSES WORKED!
But now, with Queen REALLY blurring the lines of what a brachiosaurus could do vs his own cybernetic enhancements, I'm guessing that reality has to set back in and bizarre dinosaur biology really is just too fantastic for our puny mortal brains.
Also, big things involving Sanji and Zoro as well as their opponents. Arguably less big things for Momonosuke, but anybody getting bravery in this series is worth talking about

There will be SPOILERS for this volume in the review!
Guys... this is the last volume that is entirely animated at this point in time. I officially caught up with anime-watchers... and now I'm actually kinda nervous because there is something that might happen in the next 3 chapters and I don't want that to happen.
Anyway, let's talk about what happened here, shall we?
The stars of this volume are definitely Zoro and Sanji. My boys are fighting King and Queen and it's just really good. I didn't think I would get this here, in the middle of the battle, but I feel like both of them got some character growth because of it. We have Zoro's self-reflection and a part of his backstory and I love how we are paying respect to his swords through it. And then we have Sanji whose body literally changes into a germa body and he is scared that he will lose his humanity so he asks Zoro to kill him if becomes a monster. But then he throws away his germa suit and protects that woman and it's just so good. Also Zoro's reaction to Sanji sticking a transponder snail to him in case he was about to die is hilarious.
We also have Kid and Law who are very entertaining. Especially Law who (again) complains that people are giving him orders. Comedy gold. I guess I should also mention Killer here who found a brilliant way to free Kid and defeat Hawkins. One of my favorite moments here for sure.
Momo and Luffy also continue to have a great dynamic with Luffy calling Momo a coward and all. Oh and Rob Lucci shows up again. I literally predicted that he would be under that mask one panel before they revealed him (I just saw the hair and it reminded me of him I guess).
Another great volume leading up to the climax of this battle. Wano arc is coming to a conclusion and I can't wait to see what happens next.

4 stars - It was really good
The battle on Onigishima is starting to wrap up with multiple headliners being defeated and Luffy returning to fight Kaido. We also see Yamato and Momonosuke working together to stop Onigishima from destroying the Flower Capital, CP0 trying to capture Robin, and Sanji's Germa abilities being unlocked. I am really enjoying the battles in Wano and seeing how much stronger the Straw Hats have grown in the two years they were apart.
