----------------------------------------
Sort of a slow start with Sanji, Zoro, and Brook looking for the samurai then the episode picked up. Found out more about Caesar Clown's H2S bomb and how Smiley was made.

We find out that Law can use his room ability to teleport around which is pretty cool. At the very end of the episode Luffy, Robin, and Franky's entrance was awesome.

Decent episode.
Opened up a lot of future key things and snwered some questions such as...

1. Why Law can't kidnap Ceasar himself.
2.How Zoro's group got taken out.
3.and other nonsense like H2S gas, and Smiley (Stuff that doesn't matter)

I wonder if law's planning to betray the straw hat pirates or if he's working for his own interests alone

Haki, of course. Haki is what you need to hit him and Luffy, Zoro and Sanji have that. That would be the only thing in the way.

Er, he has already proven he is an adept user of haki (fighting Smoker ...).

Anyway I'm not here to spoil so I'm just gonna say Robin looked incredible in her entry.

i don't get it
i love One Piece and i was always looking forward to a new episode...

it used to be... 20mins full of epicness, every single episode
but since the fishman island arc... it's gotten slow and boring..

and it's not just that... nothings happening..
there are no cool enemies, feelings, fights, stories, or any epic moments in general

and all of a sudden.. these 20mins epicness turned into 19min "meh" and 1minute "okay"

Someone should clean up the episodes when the arc is over, and condense them in 4 or 5 episodes of pure action (because I'm sure it's not going past 5 if we remove the pointless scenes and dragging)
That'll be so awesome

I wouldn't say every episode is suppose to be "epic". There's always buildup in the story until we get to the main events (that's why each arc always ends up being so long). The episodes feel like they're dragging a bit because each episode is made after one chapter in the manga so the pacing feels off. But if you watch the entire arc from start to finish you wouldn't feel like it was lacking in anything. It's different when you have to wait to watch one episode a week. This episode in particular was slow but the past few episodes have been progressing nicely.

It's called anime-style buildup; they've been using it for a long time, since One Piece started the long arcs (Alabasta, Skypeia, etc.). While it is somewhat boring, it's better than Naruto-style filler IMO.

Bahahaha Luffy laughing like a mad man at the end.

Interesting episode, I reckon Luffy will join forces with Smoker to take down Ceaser but I can't be too sure, Smoker is pretty unpredictable but then again he can't do much without his body.

Law can't fight against Ceaser? Hmm, I wonder why.

Cool episode, damn have to wait another week now :(

A little slow, mostly because I don't care anything about the samurai or his kid and there are far more interesting things going on elsewhere. But anyway, heck of an entrance by Luffy at the end. His idea of a kidnapping isn't too surprising but still hilarious. Poor Law, I don't think he had any idea what he signed up for with this alliance.

Really slow episode.

Couldn't they just do 2 chapters per episode through all the build up parts of an arc, and then extend the fight scenes a lot making them better AND evening the pacing out where dragging is much more acceptable? Even if that didn't even it out completely, they've got nearly 40 chapter lead, that should be enough to go on probably.

Completely forgot to watch OP for the last 4 weeks -.-
Watching it all at once definitely helped with the pacing problem, I may go back and marathon the entire arc again once it's over.

Make big and noisy entrance then announce your intentions! Well I've gotta admit that is so Luffy to come up with a plan of his own in what's suppose to be a secret. LOL

well its mostly just commenting on how this episode was mostly information and buildup rather than action.

people enjoy different kinds of content at differing levels
some like the action of one piece, some like the story, some like all of it :P

It's not that bad, the episodes are usually entertaining and keep you wanting to see what will happen in next week's episode. The epic fights will come eventually nearing the end of the arc like they always do.

Good episode!!!

Sanji, Brook and Zoro managed to escape from the two Yeti brothers and somehow are continuing their objective of finding the Samurai which they do but they see a huge blob (Smiley) in the direction that they are heading in to retrieve the Samurai's Torso. Seems like Luffy loves flashy entrances as normal and Law is surprised yet again by his actions. His use of teleporting from his ability is very convenient.

Looking forward to the next episode!!

5/5
