Well that fight was pretty damn cool I thought. I wouldn't mind seeing Grount, Zappa and Bonham in another filler arc in the future. Also any time we get to see Aokiji is a good time. But what was up with that beast arm? I'm assuming it was a devil fruit power or something but we didn't get much explanation on it. It looks cool though.
Prepare your butts everyone, Whole Cake Island starts next week

Damn I wish Grount was a canon character cuz he is pretty badass, and seems pretty strong too!

Grount vs. Luffy fight was pretty good. :) Even I would like to see Grount again in a future (filler) arc. Also the fact that he's voiced by Natsuki Hanae too is one more thing that makes him great. ;D Aokiji as chill as ever. ;) Nice to see him again once in a while, even in flashbacks.

That preview is hype! The big new arc that we've been waiting for begins next episode!!!! Probably a new OP song too? Any news about it? :o

Was a pretty enjoyable arc overall. Loved the Luffy vs Graunt fight. And seeing Aokiji again for few moments even if it's just a filler was nice ^^ One of my favorite marines after Fuji and Garp. Well, ex-marine now haha.

LOL at Pekoms and Pedro and the rest finishing the food. Didn't even last 10 mins. Typical xDD

On to the WCI arc next week. I am so excited for it :D


Can't wait for the next week :D

It was a pretty nice conclusion to the filler arc.

Fight vs Grount wasn't half bad at all. It was kinda amusing to see that kinda mirrored the final moments of Luffy vs Doffy, they even used the same OST for it. xD
Alsi anyone know the name of the OST?

Nice to see Aokiji again even if it was just a filler flashback.
Pedro Pekoms and Luffy eating all the food pretty much instantly was funny.

Wholecake Island arc is finally beginning. Can't wait.

There are people saying that it's going to be the same OP song but with new scenes in it. Not too sure about this tho ^^
Not a huge fan of the current OP song so I'm really hoping we get a new song xD

Decent filler arc, alot of shouting and screaming in this episode so that time would just pass but it's understandable.

Let's hope we get a new opening

It was a nice filler arc. Liked the flashback with Aokiji. Nice battle this week and Gear 3 proved to be too much for Grount who couldn't keep up despite having that beast arm. Next week we are back to canon.

if we are gonna tie it to the filler thingies, i think he was a prototype experiment of ceasar, mingo and kaido with the smiles and those artificial DFs of kaido's gifters hence the uncontrollable thingy

Decent episode. Felt a bit awkward knowing it's filler. "We'll get him next time". "I'll defeat you". Etc... Never been a fan of Nami's fights either, wish she still fought like she did against Baroque works.
YES
Sanji next episode! I saw the woman from thriller bark in the preview? :S Don't tell me she's in Big Mom's crew?

Not bad that arc. Really liked the fight in this episode between Luffy and Grount. And like someone said to see Aokiji again was so good. He's one of my abolute fav characters of the navy.

Didn't expect Grount to be that strong for a rookie from the navy. At least Luffy had to fight serious in some way to beat him even if we know that Grount had no chance. That smile of him when he lost. Seems like Luffy has another group of people who want to catch him haha.

Finally we will see Sanji next week. I'm so curious what will happen from now on. A lot of my friends love the Big Mom arc from the manga, so as a non manga reader I'm even more excited to see finally the beginning in the anime :)

Well she doesn't ring a bell with me tbh, I also checked http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Thriller_Bark which has a roster of what seems to be all the characters that appeared in Thriller Bark and it's not on there

Edit:
Lola! I remember her now that you mentioned her name :'D



Wow that really could be her indeed.. weird stuff

@ShadyAce Nah dude, click on the link I put on "Lola". For some reason OnePieceWikia only has her shadow listed as a character :P
In fact, here: https://myanimelist.net/character/35834/Lola

Edit: Yep, there we go. Weird definitely... Scary thing is she kinda looks like Big Mom. She's definitely not strong enough to be in her crew so why is she there? Daughter?

Which is weird because she is thought to be the daughter of Big Mom, which explains her being there on Whole Cake Island, but makes it weird they only listed her shadow version

@ShadyAce Probably best I'm stopped talking in edits. You reply too fast dude :P
Yeah, she probably is the daughter of Big Mom. It'll be interesting to see what part she plays in the story. She's friends with the crew so I can't see her fighting against them.

Gehe yeh sorry, was trying to figure some stuff out and got exited ^^
But props for spotting her dude! I didn't even notice a familiar face in the preview, but now that I know I'm exited to see her part in the whole story, as you said she's cool with the crew so it could be quite interesting

For those wondering about Lola, if you aren't caught up on the manga....stay tuned.

As for the arc, really Luffy you ate all of it in ten minutes? You are hopeless....

And Gear 3rd is looking quite puny these days.

Ok, ep. even though it were filler . The fight were actually quite entertaining. I loved the backstory with Aokiji. Just love that guy. So carefree and awesome at the same time. Can't wait to see him in the future as one of the member of Blackbeard crew. I hope he still have the sleeping mask on his head. It suits him so well. Hahahah

It took me one whole year... but at the age of 20... I finallly caught up to the anime. I've read all the forums posts for each episode along the way, and I'm glad that I can finally join the ranks of people complaining about the pace but never actually dropping One Piece. I assume I too will complain as I wait week to week. HOWEVER, watching episode after episode I had begun to enjoy that pace. That incredibly slow bulidup... it makes every other show feel to fast. Anyways, I'm her bitches! I'm here to stay.

Great fight, nice to see how far Luffy has come when there are other adversaries who are new to the game and trying to take him down.

We finally get to see what Sanji's getting up to at last! Enjoyed this filler arc, onto the next one!

Finally done with that filler. At the very least it was short and it was actually not that bad. Though Grount's too uninteresting I don't even wonder what is really the deal with his arm. Also they even made Luffy struggle a bit to make the fight more interesting. Meh.

What a great little filler arc. I'm so glad Grount had his "wake up call" he seems like a much better character now, and hopefully he's a lot more hungry to get stronger. I wouldn't mind seeing him (and those other two) again in a future filler arc. Could be a cool reoccurring rivalry.

Now we're back on track for canon story!

Well that ended up being kind of touching in the end.
Still wondering what the hell that Beast Arm was though...some sort of Devil Fruit ability or mythical Zoan that was difficult to control?

Guess we'll never know, although we might see those guys again some time in another filler arc in the future.

Wow really ? How come they underestimate Luffy so much ? How can that Weakling Grount Keep up with Luffy's gear 3 ? Luffy beated up Luccy with Gear 2, and i think Grount isn't as strong as Rob Luccy, Toei does a pretty bad job with fillers (they give up too much power to weaklings that aren't even Vice-Admiral level)

While it's more than likely that we'll not be seeing Grount again, I'm a bit curious about his arm and why it ended up turning into something like that.

It's also nice to see that Nami actually remembers that she has other moves aside from thunder-based attacks lmao
