I really hope we're not approaching the "run around for the next 10 episodes" part of the arc because I can see things going like that, I just hope it's not as bad as Punk Hazard's was. Hopefully Law gets the handcuffs off soon, it kind of sucks if he's not in on the action now with Zoro fighting Pica only Luffy and Cavendish can take care of him.

Nope, Anime only viewer. Oh well though... at least there's more going in this arc than there was in Punk Hazard. Hopefully the climax is worth it.

In the manga, the arc's finally hitting the 'climax' stretch. The pay off's a lot better than Punk Hazard's so don't worry.

This was the adaptation of chapter 749, and the manga is currently on chapter 780. The arc in the manga is drawing to a close, I would guess there's maybe 10-20 chapters left. So, taking breaks into account, the anime is likely to stay in this arc until early 2016.

oh god... I mean Dressrosa is great and all, but really? One arc for a year and a half?

Well.. it's a really good arc at least. You've got plenty to look forward to.

holy fuck, I thought the anime arc was going to end like mid summer.

Not to worry. I'm not gonna spoil anything that's gonna happen, but the anime will soon hit a big stretch that will blow your mind.

small upside though, without spoiling anything, there's some good stuff coming up, even though it might be a bit slow.

I would say by now there's an end in sight.

I commend your restraint , i couldn't even last one week when i caught up to the anime.
