One Piece is a long-running anime and has some arcs that are considered filler. However, with the new chapter, one of the filler arcs suddenly becomes important.
Which arc is it about? In the “Long Ring Long Land” arc, the Straw Hat Pirates must compete against the Fox Pirates in a Davy Back Fight. This is a competition in which two different pirate crews participate. The captain of one crew challenges the captain of another. If the challenge is accepted, there is a competition over three rounds.
The challenger determines how the individual games of the competition will look. The loser of the Davy Back Fight loses a member of their crew to the other team. Foxy and Luffy face off in such a competition in the anime. However, Luffy must realize that Foxy does not play fair.
The arc is considered one of the least popular storylines among fans. Even we at MeinMMO actually recommend that you don’t watch the arc if you just want to see the main story. But the new chapter shows that even such an insignificant arc can suddenly become important.
Unpopular arc becomes important for brutal pirates
Warning, Spoilers: Here there is information about Chapter 1555 of the One Piece manga.
Why is it suddenly important? In the new chapter, the background of Rocks D. Xebec is revealed. He collected his crew through such Davy Back Fights by winning the battles and taking members from the opposing team.
This is how he built one of the most powerful crews. These include:
- Whitebeard
- Kaido
- Big Mom
- Buckingham Stussy
- Shiki
Those who have watched the filler know how such battles work and that they can be unfair. But don’t worry: You don’t necessarily have to catch up on the filler arc.
Do I need to catch up on the arc now? The manga briefly explains how a Davy Back Fight works and how Rocks got his pirate crew. It is also suggested that the pirates do not care about the life of their captain. With this, you know the essentials needed for the story. However, if you want to learn more about these battles, feel free to watch the arc.
Those who watch the storyline as an anime will also discover a particularly funny mistake. One of the Straw Hat Pirates has suddenly doubled, if you look closely: Anime from One Piece contains a mistake – You suddenly see a popular character double
