Punk Hazard 7/10 - Due to its length, the mediocrity of villain Caesar Clown, and how slow the middle act is, this is probably the weakest arc in the series, or at least since the beginning. But I do like some things a lot. The children stuff is mostly annoying, but the character of Mocha is heart wrenching. The focus on Law, especially his fight with Vergo, is great. And the alliance-forming scene is top tier One Piece. Funny and entertaining but definitely one of my lesser enjoyed arcs to date. The whole atmosphere of the island felt a bit off to me; like we were in a Halloween version of a beach episode. The villains and story are a bit forgettable here too. Return to Sabaody 7/10 - Short arc, kinda cool to see the power ups. Nothing super special though but it didn’t need to be.

While the plot itself did not appeal to me that much, the themes here were absolutely top tier. The whole story about Fisher, breaking the cycle of hatred and racism was handled beautifully. The prophecy and reveal about Poseidon and Joyboy were also intriguing and gteat. Absolutely loved it. The kamas, the return of a lot of old ennemies (Crocodile *x*), the weirdly nice character of Magellan and, of course, Bon Chan (!!!), all made for an epic arc!
