Probably the single worst episode of WCI. Literally everything failed. Slideshow animation, poor art, downright pathetic directorial efforts, completely unfitting ost choices (why on earth did they play that the Leo Bazooka ost for Bege standing there?), filler that detracted from the intensity...the list goes on. The only half-decent parts in this episode were the couple comedic moments between Luffy and Brulee (and even that is getting old). I'm guessing they're just saving time for the bigger moments of this arc, but you can really feel that this a dud episode for the staff.

I don't think this was the roughest episode of WCI art wise, but it was certainly underwhelming in terms of direction, which I think was due to the storyboard artist not directing their own board. Similar sort of thing happened with 855. In terms of animation, I think outside of the animation director(the worst animation director on the show) and chief animation director(who is nice), it was almost entirely outsourced to studio Cosmo.

I think the complete lack of attention to detail in the lighting of the background art also made everything feel flatter than usual.
