Though this special is quite enjoyable it feels the most like filler out of all of them. The story is OK. But just a little bit to dragged out, it should have been 10 minutes shorter, if it was the special would be more enjoyable. However it isn't in any way a bad special. The premise is good, the new characters you meet in this special fit in well within the one piece world and the strawhats are their great personal selves. All in all a real one piece fan should not skip this special.

When it comes to One Piece, I always fall into the bias trap, for me personally, it is really hard to criticize what makes up my all times favorite franchise, but then again, sickness has to be called off. For a One Piece episode, movie, filler, OVA, ONA, special, anything, this was on the lowly low. I'm of course excusing the art department in this one as the time period of its release was never famous for that, it's the setting that was lacking, the oddness, the randomness, the goofiness, it wasn't there. When starting to watch any One Piece related content, you always come preparedto see some giant cheek clapping (Meaning it in an SFW way), colossal occupies dancing, eerie monsters walking down the street, reading a paper may be, it is always something out of the norm, but this was was a complete disappointment when it came to that, the only goofy thing was the villain's hairstyle, and it was not enough.

Okay so I enjoyed this one, I mean I haven't seen one I didn't enjoy that much at this point. I really dug that Nami was wearing Luffy's hat again, I love her in the straw hat! The back and forth misreading eye contact between Bayan & Zap was HIL-A-RIOUS. Sanji is so good with kids, this has been very consistent throughout the series I've noticed. Bayan's weapon reminded me of Jango a bit, it's like a hypnotizing thing? I did think it was totally creepy that it started out like he was making her strip, we then come to find out he was forcing her toshow him the map, which happens to be on her back. So it was definitely a shock when you realize that's what it was but was weird for sure. Thought we were going to have one of those Sword Art Online Season 2 Situation if you know what I mean. Luffy attacked his crew! That was pretty crazy! Other than Sanji and Zoro fighting, I think this is one of the few times that the crew has fought against each other in some way.. Maybe also when Nami 'betrayed' them in Arlong Park Arc. But, I bet it's scary when your unbeatable captain start attacking you, the ship got real beat up, but seemed like they held their own lol. The storyline was cute/sad but the island being a clam was pretty unique. One Piece knows how to make episodes pretty interesting. When Bayan gets hit by ALL the strawhats at the same time was SO COOL. I hope we get to see that happen again... I loved it! And then Nico Robin threw that crunch after! *Chefs Kiss.*
