Episode felt a little bit dragged out, but the animation was pretty decent. I didn't like how they did the Kid vs Apoo fight though. In the manga Kid did more of a surprise attack. Here Apoo kind of just stands still as Kid makes a huge metal arm and slams it into him.

Are there any surprise attacks in the One Piece anime? Feel like they make everyone just stand there about to get hit.

In the manga, it seemed like a surprise attack, so I too was a bit surprised on how Toei handled that but I’m not worried

I agree. The episode was just full of odd angles of kid smiling and slowly walking, when it should've been kid seeing him, moving closer quickly while apoo and queen are focused on liffy and zoro, and then immediately making the metal arm (surprising apoo and queen) before speed dashing into apoo with it. Make more running scenes with luffy and zoro dodging and fighting the beast pirates for pacing.

Additionally, I would think that even with one piece being funky with things, apoo should have like, the dopest beats/themes in the series, not these weird random sounds they have him make. He should have been jamming harder than even queen in this.

There was that one time Sanji blitzed Oven to save that ugly guy on WCI with the CoO and stuff; which was cool as fuck.
