Hehe... Not bad at all.

The pacing is as always slow as hell but the ep was not bad. Epic Luffy, Zoro & Sanji, as always too.

Like some have mentioned, the first half was really slow and the animation took a while to pick up but as soon as Tate (was it him?) got his hand on it in the second half, it was brilliant. Defonatly some "aaaah yeaaah" moments in the end there.

Was it Haki though? and not just Luffy being stronger because of general muscle growth:P?

There was definitely some haki. He used it to avoid the blasts by the pacifista, but i don't think he used it for the punch. You will know when he uses haki to attack soon enough.

That was a hilarious episode, esp with all the Sanji moments

Really liked all the filler-ish expansions on the escape assist fights, and of course, sanji was epic funny His last blast off lookin at nami's boobage would set me off looking for a transfusion as well Perona's lookin cutie too! great episode overall- really loved the expansion on Luffy's training with Rayleigh too- gave the tears and farewell a lot more depth.

The atmospheric underwater shots looked great and so was the flashback of Rayleigh meeting Roger. I still can't stand Caribou. The way he's drawn and voiced just puts me off.

Did Robin sound different in that one scene where she was talking about coating being similar to the bubbles on Saboady? It sounded a little weird to me.

yup- total agreement- the underwater scenes were beautiful, some of the best stuff for quite some time. 

And yes, also agree that caribou is f'in trash in terms of design, voice, etc.

Me: We're finally going to see "it" animated!!!
Luffy: Gear third.
Me: YES YES!
*to be continued*
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I wasn't as distraught as that when the episode ended, but I pretty much felt the same way; my reaction was more like "Aw, MAN!  Just when the action was getting good!"

I just realized something: I didn't see Chopper eat a Rumble Ball in the episode; he just went straight to Guard Point.  I checked the corresponding scene in the manga; it isn't actually shown that he eats one, but the translation implies that he does.  So what exactly is the case here?  Does he need a Rumble Ball for Guard Point, or doesn't he?  I won't spoil any details from later chapters of the manga, but this is actually a conflicting point that needs to be resolved.

Spoilers :The manga shows Chopper eating one, but in the future he says he doesn't need to, so i guess it was a mistake on Oda's part.  And so Toei fixed it

Finally an episode which left me thinking of NOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T END NOW!!!! Luffy about to fight the Kraken was a good cliffhanger

I think the issue has officially been resolved. Judging by Chopper's explanation in future chapters and the lack of the rumble ball in the episode (after said explanation in the manga)....Oda made a mistake using the rumble ball for guard point.

Chopper only needs the rumble ball for one form.

I think Chopper used the Rumble Ball in the manga to make his Guard Point massive. I don't think his guard point is that gigantic without a rumble ball...

I had a similar thought and it's a possibility...I'm not quite convinced though; guess we'll have to wait?

Only thing that is certain that Chopper only needs the Rumble Ball for Monster Point now...
