IMO this was a really good and exciting filler arc. Again it showed us the good part of the StrawHats and it's also good to see that not all the marines are that filthy and corrupted.
Looking forward to Hajime no Luffy

Great arc. If this was really a filler then I'm even more impressed. I can't believe someone voted a 1/5 on this one. Must be a troll.

Yes, it was a complete filler arc, but it is genius! It's intelligent and hilarious and definitely worth to be watched... 200% One Piece.

Yah, this was pretty good for filler. Not amazing, but at least it was pretty smartly written. The strategic games were well conceived. The hardest part was to know how strong Luffy and crew really are and to see how much trouble this one Marine base was for them. At this point in the story, I'm pretty sure they should've been able to take out that entire base without issue. But that's just me. :)

To be honest, in some ways I actually thought this was better done than the Skypia arc. For one, it didn't really drag or anything. I also liked Johnathon, It was cool to see an enemy use his head instead of his brawn. A very nice, and needed, change of pace this arc was.

Good arc. One of the best bits of filler I can remember seeing in anime actually! Some pretty funny parts in it as well. And I agree Johnathan was a pretty good character.

I believe the next episode is where we kick on with the canon story again and also into Widescreen! Bring it on!

I know his tenure was short, but I'm not sure the straw hat pirates will ever feel complete again without Condoriano. xD

The octopus in Luffy's pants... O.o" Uh, okay, moving on.

I was wondering how they'd get away in the end, the marines had a strong chance at firing a warning shot and then hitting the balloon with the cannon but of course Condoriano helped his nakama out in the end. Hah.

Jessica Punch! Awesome.

The fuck was with the art quality on this episode? Jessica looks like a completely
different person and close to the end Zoro had his nose drawn between his eyes! My god did their budget run out or something? Also did they not have one fucking rifle JUST ONE to shoot the bloody balloon?

Overall a good arc but the ending just ruined it for me. Farewell ED 13 ;(

Condoriano is best Strawhat.

Thought the ending with Jessica and the Commander was pretty cute too- "have you fallen for me all over again?" awww ^^

Also why the hell is Luffy using his pants as a storage unit for Octopuses?!
Like...what else does he have down there?? XD

This episode had some great moments, namely:
Everyone: “We can’t escape on boat!”, spoken about why for 5 minutes.
Zoro: So, what do we do?
Luffy: ALRIGHT! LET'S HEAD FOR THE SEA GATE! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! :D

Zoro: “Moron.”
Sanji: “EH?!”
Zoro: “I said "Moron"!”
Sanji: “EHHH?!”

I was unsure on how the writers would let Navarone get away from this without punishment, but now that they scapegoated Condriano I get it. I should have seen that coming.

The reinflating the octopus was a cool idea, it will mean that the Straw Hats can actually float to the canonical location now. With a hole being punctured in their ship I assume that means that it will finally be time to land somewhere and pay a shipwright to fix up the Going Merry. Maybe it’s time to finally get our new crew member!

I felt slightly odd about everyone forcing Usopp to use the impact dial, and the manner in which Luffy pulled the octopus out of his pants and how they inflated it, but despite the former being somewhat out of character, and the latter being a little out of nowhere, this was filler, and good filler at that, and to end it like this is still excusable to me. I enjoyed this mini arc more than I enjoyed Skypiea! It was paced well, the comedy and character interactions were great, everyone but Condriano was good as a support and it really characterized the navy in a great light. Sure it didn’t have the peaks of the backstory or worldbuilding of Skypiea, however I think it’s lows were nowhere near Skypiea’s lows and I even found the commander to be a better antagonist than Eneru who didn’t even get explored in his power or motives. Overall this was a nice breath of fresh air and something consistently fun, not something I wanted to fall asleep over, this is some good filler!

They finally got out of G-8 thanks to Condoriano making sure that they escaped safely and I'll have to say that this was Gr8 especially for a transition arc that bridged two major arcs!

It's great that Jonathan gladly accepted their loss since their visit to Naverone had led to everyone in their base to become closer and more competent than ever before. The Straw Hats got their gold back and they got a surprisingly fun experience not just anyone could go through so it's a win-win for everyone except for Condoriano lmao

Anyways, this is one of the best filler arc in anime and you will be surprised
by the animation difference between this and the next (206 and 207) ep. They made a huge development in the animation from the next saga :)

Aand they of course escaped the fortress in the most convient way possible by flying the ship and using the octopus as a hot air balloon. I could've easily skipped this filler since the ending also fits to when they left sky island but I've never skipped a single episode so, and it was quite a fun little filler arc anyway.

This was certainly an all's well that ends well conclusion. While the Straw Hats successfully escaped, the G8 Marines now have that experience to deal with actually bad pirates. It was a win-win and there were no hard feelings (well, except for Condoriano).

Fue un gran arco de relleno. A pesar de ser relleno tuvo grandes personajes carismáticos como el mecánico de barcos y el comandante Jhonatan, y fue un épico final como salieron volando de la base. Las caras que pusieron mirando a Usopp para usar el impact dial fueron épicas XD.
