Actually I didn't have any big expectations for this one after watching Strong World. And I was pleasantly surprised, because everything in this movie, starting from intro (minimalistic but very, very enjoyable whatsoever), is great!

- starting with animation, it is very, very decent. Probably the best animated One Piece thing I have seen so far. Up for Zoro, he looks rly rly handsome. Other characters look awesome too (I can even forgive weird shots of Nami's bikini)

- the plot and character development. What surprised me the most here was really well handled anti-hero, Zephyr. Also, we rarely get to see stronger Marines in action (e.g. Kizaru) not to mention their development. In this one we could see the story from different points of view, it wasn't just a thing concerning Strawhats. In such moments I see how awesomely detailed One Piece is. Thanks for that, Oda-dono. You brought back my faith which was rather fading away with the extending Dressrosa arc.
Also I can't forget about Aokiji. I wanted to know more about this guy since I first saw him in the series, but, unfortunately, he just had episodes (admittedly, very good ones). He somehow balanced the amount of Luffy's importance in this movie and thus made the movie even more enjoyable (well, I have nothing against Luffy, but him being in the center of attention all the time sometimes gets boring).

- the music. Kouhei Tanaka, ladies and gentlemen. I played the opening sequence for like hundred times hehe (still don't have enough)

To sum up: great thing. I expect no less from the upcoming film GOLD.
