This episode surpassed all expectations and is better than every single One Piece episode I have ever watched. Seeing the world of One Piece from the perspective of an ordinary citizen is refreshing and really gives a different outlook compared to the romanticized perspective of the Straw hats. The opening sequence of the episode was like eye candy. It showed the Paramount war in a modern style and makes fans wish for a remake with improved animation. The emotional impact in several scenes throughout the episode really delivers. The direction and animation throughout the episode is breathtaking and leaves you wanting more.
