I don't know if I'm going to have a chance to reread these volumes and comment in more detail, but I do want to say:
I don't know how much control Oda has over where books end and begin
I think he definitely plans/decides where each volume starts and ends--mangaka have a good idea how many pages/chapters in a volume and plan story arcs around that. In any case, I remember an SBS(?) where Oda talked about wanting a volume to have an extra chapter or two in it and he managed to convince Shuueisha to not raise the price on the volume even though it had extra pages.

This made me laugh really hard. XD It's basically how I think of this whole battle.
