TBH, Udon was probably my favorite consistent plot line in act 2 in the manga, and I'm enjoying it even more in the manga because the staff are really playing up Luffy demolishing gifters.
I know its a bit shallow(but One Piece isn't exactly particularly deep anyway), but seeing Luffy clowning on opponents who are significantly weaker than him is fun, and the anime staff making sure that Luffy's action is well animated on an episode to episode basis makes it even more enjoyable for me personally.
