If anyone disagrees thats fine but in MY OPINION there is no doubt that the Arabista Arc was the peak of the One Piece anime. I hope we get to see another arc like that.

The reason why I loved it so much because Luffy almost died twice. Sanji used every trick in his book to defeat that swan guy. Zorro finally cut through steel. Nami's combat skills were not bad. Chopper and Ussop were pushed to their limit. Also Nami and Vivi dressed to kill in those dancer girl outfits that Sanji picked for them. Luffy and Co. took on a whole army of "Baroqe Work", and the endin song with Vivi was the best ending theme in my opinion.

I think it was also the longest running arc as well. Smoker was too cool with those two cigars. Ace (Luffy's brother) was introduced in this arc. Luffy also hinted that in the end he might have to beat his own brother to become the Pirate King ( waiting for that moment).

I hope Oda has yet another ace up his sleeve this one or maybe two. I can never get enough of One Piece. Too bad I am not a manga reader. Can a manga reader tell me if we get to see another arc like that?

One Piece forever!
