Holdem is no more than a bully to Tama, as soon as Luffy saw Tama injury. The real highlight is Luffy facing off Holdem, well by 'facing-off' it's more like showing him who the fuck he thinks he's fighting against. Zoro and Okiku managed to easily overpower yet another stream of average goons. Instantaneously formed and executed in an instant! A few commands and the plan is put into action. Who says Luffy never have a strategy? He does, it's just. This ep makes up for the past few ep of snail-paced pacing. Overall, a good episode and one worth watching skipping a few scenes at the beginning. And Luffy beating the shit out of Holdem was well executed, that Ace flashback added a lot of impact for Otama's character. Law appearing in front a Hawkins, a fantastic done scene imo.

A few stare contests and uneeded dialogs but they didn't suck the enjoyment out of this week's episode. The animation is still on point and the sound too. Once Luffy recaped Otama getting sick for drinking the water the episode picked up its pace and even tho most of the fight was filler against cannon fodder and I don't remember Speed using her bow in the manga it was pretty fantastic and I had a blast watching it. The jokes were fine as always, at least they keep nailing the comedy but that was not a moment for comedy. We all know that the reason for her capture IS the fact that she has that 'magical power' The first minutes were slow it felt like the characters staring at each other and delaying the plot moving forward,they recaped Otama taming that baboon for no reason.
