| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That new opening song. Really liking it more than Hard Knock Days. This episode started off with some funny moments in the Going Luffy-senpai when hail rains down on the ship. The Barto Club Pirates were useless during the hail shower. xD This scene is clearly in the manga but the next part after that is where the filler begins. Luffy and Bartolomeo got captured by the Sweet Pirates led by Desire. They're allied with Bill, head of the Silver Pirate Alliance who ate the Smelt-Smelt fruit, making him a blast furnace human who can smelt ore and produce various kinds of weapons. These guys are aiming to reach the top of the Pirate Era in the New World, even dreaming of taking down the Four Emperors. Oh come on, guys! Are you freakin' serious?! :P Just because they took down a few pirates with bounties doesn't mean they have the strength to beat the monsters in the New World! Bartolomeo was really awesome in this episode, defending Luffy. His fanboy moments are still so amusing to watch! :D Though Barto and Desire are childhood friends who went out to sea separately... I think they might make up before this mini arc ends. If Sanji was here, he'd surely fall in love with Desire as well. :P She happens to be a tsundere. I'm curious about the characters from the new One Piece movie. I'm really looking forward to watching that. |
| this is absolutely adorable <3 but kinda bad how easily the straw-hats + Barto club got wiped. ignoring the cute arc, the biggest point had to be this new opening where sanji is in shock (to what looks like that mobster dude from the supernovas or whatever)   ...we can tell rooster girl is jealous ;) ... Bill is a shit |
  |
| Eh, didn't really care for the new OP. Maybe it'll grow on me as I hear it more, but it did a good job of setting up future events. I liked the part where Gear 4 Luffy clashed fists with Kaido, as well as the part where we see Sanji's surprised expression at the news he received from Capone. Bartolomeo was amusing as usual, and it was cool to see him protecting Luffy. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The new OP feels mediocre. The stuff that is happening in the new OP made me hyped af though. > luffy vs kaidou hype in few years maybe x) |
 |
| Loved the new opening :D Song was alright but the opening was great. Was great seeing characters like Seeing that Sanji moment where he dropped his cig and Luffy G4 vs Kaido had me so hypeddd xD The episode was alright. Not much to talk about tbh. Can never get tired of Barto fan boying xD The antagonist, Bill is alright I guess. |

| It was a pretty good episode, The OP was nice and a lot of visuals of the things to come. Nice to see some of the Zou cast in it as well. Barto and his crew were quite amusing along with the StrawHats. So easy to lure Luffy out with meat XD Desire seems like a Tsun XD Bill is probably just putting on a front for more shady underground dealings. Bartolomeo defending Luffy was nice, Best fan-boy ever xD |

| You know, if this part was in manga, people already would call Desire a new Straw Hats member XD Overall, I liked this episode. Hope the rest of the arc won't dissapoint. |

Hope the arc remains good. really? I thought the OP was mediocre at best tbh. I'm tired of Hard Knock Days, but it's x100 better than the current OP This may sound random, but the way they did OP 16 in Punk Hazzard was just perfect, it's a shame they have not really made another one like it |
 |
| Not a bad start... |
| I kinda like the new arc and op altogether |
 |
| Don't care for the new opening at all. Decent start. Really liking Desire. |
 |
| The new break scene is so nostalgic. |
 |
| Love the new break scenes. New opening is better than the last, but nowhere close to We Are and We Go. And it's movie filler, what can I say. |
 |
| Opening thought: This new opening is so painfully average.. why can't One Piece have great opening song? ): Sad that this OP is probably gonna stick with the entire Zou arc. I wish this song would have a little more sad vibe to it. The visual was lackluster in term of art and animation too imo, really, the animation quality is dipping hard as the episodes went by. I like what we have in there though, all of the Zou figures, they get me hyped, in particular, the scene where the straw hats were overwhelmed(?) by all the poneglyphs, I thought that scene was amazing, because it shows that even though the straw hats have gotten a lot stronger, they can still be surprised by some things. Robin looking super excited in that scene was also great, that will probably be the happiest moment in her entire life, finally able to realize her dream. |

The visual was good, cool in some Parts but the song... meh.. i know it might grow on me but comPared with others is so UnOnePiece. Zou deserved a better track. |

| The new opening is nice. Bartolomeo and his crew are the best, they don't even have a navigator, they just do what their grandma from home tell them to. That capture plan was perfect, Luffy couldn't resist it. So, Desire and Barto are childhood friends. Silver isn't all that good, he is probably using all of them. |
 |
| I will start shipping Barto and Desire : D aheheheheeh. Liked the new opening and the episode was funny :) |
| Hmm filler :/ Bruh I don't like filler ! :/ |
 |
| new opening and the filler first episode |
 |
| new filler arc is alright right. This Bill guy hoping to be pirate king i dont see it. Smelting as an offenssive ability is soooo limited and we see in the episode this hippi nerds ammo to fight back or he'll get close you and probably burn ur skin with "smelting" |
 |
blfan said: So who is the "he" that the villains were referring to, who are they working for. Kaito, or the villain of the Gold movie? This filler arc is supposed to be setup for the Gold movie, which means it can only be 4-5 episodes in the first place, else it'd lose it's purpose. |
| The opening song is a bit meh but I did like what I saw. Gear 4th Luffy vs Kaidou looked pretty sick. The episode, again, meh but I guess I'm being a bit negative because I'm excited for what's to come! |
| The new opening is so nice I love it. All the things you could see there especially Sanji moment where he dropped his cig or Luffy vs. Kaido omg. I'm so hyped it's almost beyond words >.< The beginning was so funny with all the strawhat fanboys and when it began to hail xD I don't get it how they don't have an navigator, but very important the old lady with her wisdoms :P Typicall Luffy got caught by meat lol. Good thing Bartolomeo was with him. Desire is an absolute Tsundere, but interesting to know that she's an old friend of Bartolomeo. I don't know what I should think about this Bill guy. He's definitely involved in something big because of all the silver he's giving to someone (Big Mom maybe?). It's like I saw his Smelt Smelt fruit before, but I'm not sure about that. Curious what will happen next, expecially because that will be lead to the Gold movie. |
 |
| How much do you guys want to make a bet that the next Opening after this is going to showcase Luffy's Grand fleet for once, not just the thousand sunny. MAKE IT HAPPY TOEI, MAKE IT HAPPEN! |

The song is okayish but not too bad. |

| Yea normal episode. Only thing I'd highlight was the moment when desire was blushing towards luffy. That new guy said something about a monster - monster = kaido ? At least it's some plot progression this time. |
 |
| Well i liked the opening but I felt like this filler kinda lame.. I liked that woman (desire) it was adorable and kinda well written.. But we all liked if Zou started in this episode. |
| Liking traps is gay and liking Lolis is Pedophila. Come at me bruh! |
| Worst opening ever, it was bland and forgettable. The ep itself was good, can't believe a filler for the movie was better than almost everything since the time skip :'( Desire is hot and her bikes are cool. Khaos7777 said: Quick question when someone try's to dethrone shanks as one of the emperors do you think luffy would help him out? I guess, but shanks might turn him down since he wants to fight his own battles, unless it's a really big threat. |
 |
| Kaido Vs Luffy in the OP omg!!! The episode was nice but the animation was not that good |
 |

 |
| I don't like the new OP but the eyecatch with the bounty is pretty good |
 |
| New opening :D I really liked it! |
| Hard Knock Days is so much better and more awesome than this new OP. Only good thing in the new OP song is the battle between Gear 4th Luffy vs Kaidou. Lmao Bartolomeo got a cute osananajimi and he chose Luffy..!?? ╮(╯▽╰)╭ |
 |
| I love the new opening. It's much better than the previous one imo :D |
| Pretty average opening meh. Lold when Bill said they could go against Yonkous. Desire is pretty cute with that tsun :3 and Barto's childhood friend...shipping intensifies. |
 |
| Opening must be written by Obama, probably thats why it sucks so much. I like the visuals though, Nami and Robin in Bikini is always nice. This filler arc will hopefully be rather short I really wanna see Zou. I assume after Zou they gonna put in another filler to stretch it more since Oda-sensei will certainly take some breaks. |
| The new opening is.. kinda boring, nothing amazing. Usually I get pumped, but now I just wanna scroll through it. Lol at Bartolomeo crew's fanboyism and that semen shooter. Bill has got some rather "cute" ideals, beating Kaido? C'mon.. As far the rest is concerned, quite a "wth" filler, might just skip the rest. Tho I love how Desire blushes every time she gets a compliment. |
| Finally a new opening. Damn, geez. I mean they have used the same shitty song throughout the whole Dressrosa arc (just changed some bit of the opening in the middle arc). That opening have been used twice as they usually do. I mean that was totally unnecessary to use it through 100+ ep. -.-' Anyways, I finally happy about the new op., though I also find the song a bit boring. But that's usually is common when new openings are introduced. You get used to them afterwards. :P Can't wait to see the Kaido arc. It's gonna be good (at least I think so). So we finally get a filler arc. Long time since we have seen that. LOL. But I find this arc a bit boring. The next two ep. aren't that good either. Usually OP fillers tend to be boring, but I guess they should just finish it so we can get back to the main plot. ^^ What I liked most is the change they made when the ep. is half through. It's better than the last one. I am really glad they went back to the classic one. Because this will also give new soundtrack to the character that have been introduced after they entered New World and that are important for the currently arc and further arc. |

| OH NO THE FILLER GIRL IS REALLY CUTE |
 |
| The new opening is amazing, the song and the scenes shown are so good :D Desiré is already someone I might like, wonder how long this arc will take. Definitely not bad from the start, weird how Luffy got captured so easily though. |
