One Piece has one of the best ensemble casts in anime, and there are some characters so great that it's bizarre that they never joined the Straw Hats.

While arcs such as Marineford, Alabasta, and Arlong Park may receive a lot of praise for their fights, character development, and world building, not every arc in this long-running story is looked ...

and the upcoming Alabasta Saga provides just that opportunity. The arc sees each of the crew tasked with taking down a member of Baroque Works while Luffy goes after their enigmatic leader Crocodile.
